A mother's love for her son is endless
Chrisy J.

The absolute best place to get a dress for any occasion is Bridal Elegance by Darlene! I have known Darlene for many years and my son got getting married this passed August, so I finally had an occasion to wear one of her beautiful dresses. I haven't worn a dress in decades and Darlene helped me pick out multiple dresses in different styles to try on. She actually picked the two I fell in love with! They were dresses that I personally wouldn't have never even chosen to tried on. She knew what style would look best on me much more than I did. She did a perfect job on my alterations and bent over backwards to get to fit just right! They have a great selection in the shop in all price range and if they don't have it they can definitely get it for you. It was a great experience and so fun. Thank you Darlene so much for making this special occasion perfect for me!

I went to David's, I went to Alfred Angelo, I went to Ann Matthews, I wasted SO MUCH time at those places. I wish I went here to begin with. This place deserves SO MANY STARS!!! I really should have left a review MUCH earlier but better late than never! Darlene and her staff are the best! They all eventually knew me and my mother by name ( and sisters by face which was incredibly useful because they picked up the dress whedn I didn't have time to!) and they had no problem making last minute alterations so long as I was as happy as can be(which I was!). Darlene and her staff are fabulous at reading people, knowing what they want and getting EXACTLY that plus what looks best. I got started dress shopping late and they worked with me even though I was essentially last minute shopping. They were the best friendliest shop I could have hoped for. Thanks Darlene's!!!

Yes! To the amazing dress!

Best in the city! I have utilized Ann Matthews tailoring services on several occasions and many…read moretimes my dress is the only one without issues. For bridal, I do not wear dresses regularly and was made very comfortable throughout the process. Excellent customer service! They were prompt with email and texts regarding my appointment and even included a cute questionnaire to help guide my appointment with them.

Id give ZERO stars if I was able. What started as a great experience with Shelly, turned into a…read morenightmare!! I cannot recommend Ann Matthews Bridal based on my experience. The in-house alterations on my wedding dress were poorly done, including an uneven illusion neckline, white thread on nude mesh, and jagged stitching. When I raised my concerns and requested a partial refund because I no longer trusted the alterations, I expected professionalism. Instead, the OWNER told me I was a "HORRIBLE person" for letting her know I'd post a review and pictures of their quality of work. She also stated that she "didn't earn a dime" from me because I purchased my dress on sale, so she didn't care if I was an upset customer. Whether a dress is purchased on sale or at full price should never determine how a customer is treated. The poor workmanship was disappointing, but the owner's response and customer service were far worse. I ultimately had to pay someone else to repair the dress before my wedding. I expect businesses to stand behind their work and treat customers with respect. Unfortunately, that was FAR from my experience at Ann Matthews Bridal.

Quinceaneras? Do you know what it is? Probably not, unless you are a 15 year-old girl . . . or your…read morefamily is originally from a Latin American country that celebrates this time in a girl's life. Fiesta de Quince Años. Basically, it means PARTY! PARTY! and the most beautiful dress you have ever had. Originally the dresses were white or pastel . . . but not today. Today they are any color of the rainbow that you want. Deep, rich colors with lots of ruffles, fluff, layers and bling. Where do you get such a dress? Well, "Hamiel Bridals and Quinceaneras" has just the dress any young girl would dream of wearing to her party. . . . or her wedding. Hamiel also carries a large selection of wedding dresses. I was lucky enough to attend an in-house Yelp Event with an introduction to the owner. Successful businesses are built by owners/founders who have a real passion and care about their customers. Carmen Bolivar is one of those passionate owners. Caring about each and every Quinceaneras and Wedding Party. The "Bridal" Dress Shop is attached to the large event space. The dresses run the gambit from simple and elegant to elaborate with bling and fluff. Whatever you have been dreaming of since you were a little girl. I know, I know, you Guys, if you are reading this, don't really care. You just want your lady to look beautiful. Well, this is the place for her to get that dream dress and for you to go all googly-eyed when she walks down that isle towards you. I've been married twice. Never had a real wedding dress. Do you think I could get one and just wear it on special occasions? Carmen has so many to choose from . . . it would be hard to decide. Dreaming of a Quinceaneras Party or a Family Wedding? Go meet Carmen and have her show you the Event Center and the opportunities Hamiel can provide.

I was able to visit this shop. Beautiful dresses! Very impressed with the incredible work ethic of…read morethe owner. There is a spacious and lovely area for events.
