She did an excellent job at hearing what my dress preferences were and finding the perfect blend of options for me to try on. I was impressed that with such a short description and only trying on 6 dresses, I was able to say "Yes to the Dress!" Not only did Sophie do a great job at finding my vision in the perfect dress, but she also handles the entire appointment with professionalism, empathy, and kindness! I felt so comfortable working with her. She was responsive to my questions over texts after the dress was selected and gave me timely updates! We were lucky in the appointment day was during the trunk show. I was able to get a nice discount for purchasing the day of - cherry on top! Ania the location itself has a wide variety of dresses, a lot of space to view your dress. The viewing area outside the dressing room was wonderful - you get to see the vision as a bride. There was also a wide selection of veils. Beautiful space where you can also bring a good amount of guests! I highly recommend Ania, and above that recommend Sophie's services!

We had a decent budget but we literally could cut it in 3 and still afford a beautiful dress here! My sister hates attention on her and can't make a decision easily. She gets very overwhelmed and most of the places we had a consultant breathing down our necks! Not here! We were able to try on 15 dresses in a hour. After a full day of shopping we went back to the shop and got a dress she fell in love with here. And on top of it all the dress was only 500$!!!! I could not believe it. We were looking between 2k and 3k but this dress was the one! I just got back from the wedding and this dress was a show stopper!

Came here hoping for a MIRACLE as my Wedding is 50 days away and a decision HAD to be made. I found a $400 used dress that fits great(minimal alterations) that I actually love more than my original. Having already spent thousands on my first dress, I really could not justify spending thousands more. I'm super happy and cannot wait to become a Mrs. In this beautiful gown.

Although we have only just begun our wedding planning journey, working with Nadine at A & Be Bridal…read morehas already been one of the most memorable and meaningful experiences of the process. She was an absolute 10 out of 10. What made Nadine so exceptional is her unique background as a former therapist. Rather than focusing solely on dress styles, silhouettes, or trends, she guided my daughter through the process by asking thoughtful, insightful questions about who she is as a person and how she wants to feel on her wedding day. Her approach brought so much clarity and meaning to the experience. Nadine was incredibly intentional in how she selected dresses for my daughter to try on. She explained her process along the way, using each dress as a point of comparison to help narrow down preferences and discover what truly resonated. Her method kept the experience from becoming overwhelming and helped simplify what can often feel like an endless sea of choices. Beyond her expertise, Nadine was simply wonderful to spend the morning with. She was calm, joyful, authentic, down-to-earth, and immediately put everyone at ease. She created a space that felt supportive, thoughtful, and fun. The way she weaves her therapeutic background into the art of bridal styling is a true gift. She helped my daughter connect not just with a dress, but with how she wants to show up and feel on a day that reflects who she is at her core. We left feeling grateful, understood, and excited. We are so thankful that Nadine shared her gift with us, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

We were also able to customize the skirt with a split that I liked with another AK dress style. I brought it to bridal alterations and the fit is so good that I only need a bustle. The bridal tailor was very impressed and said this is rare, only 1-2% of dresses she sees. Very welcome news and I feel like a&bé and Lauren in particular deserve a special shout out for her excellent guidance and spot on accuracy. A big relief not to have to spend another hundreds or thousands on alterations.

The ladies were all helpful and asked me to let them know if I needed any assistance. They let me browse but offered to put a dress in the dressing room once I selected one. I noticed a few brides trying on dresses as well and the ladies were never pushy and actually one offered advice on what to expect with alterations. She mentioned a seamstress would be coming in shortly and could offer better advice. This alone seemed so helpful for the bride- what a wonderful service to be offered BEFORE you say yes to the dress. I ended up purchasing a gorgeous dress at a fraction of the price.

Elise and the volunteer worker (I forget her name) were absolutely so helpful and encouraging. They did not try to push me into buying anything as I was very indecisive about two of the dresses I tried. They also let me try on veils which were all gorgeous. I might check back here in a couple months to see if they have any other dresses I might like. If you're wanting to help a good cause while saving some money, this is a great place to do so!
