    My daughter's dream dress.
    Dizzy S.

    Esme's Essentials did it again! Best customer service. She once again got my daughter the exact dress she wanted. It was perfect. The price was extremely reasonable. My daughter absolutely loved her dress. Esme has always made my girls feel and look amazing. Thank you so much!!!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at St. Clark Bridal! We found my daughter…read moreLauren's wedding dress here last weekend, and what we expected to be the beginning of a long search turned into the easiest, most memorable experience. This was Lauren's very first time trying on wedding dresses, and Lisa and Debbie were absolutely amazing. They were warm, patient, knowledgeable, and so generous with their time. They helped educate us on the different gowns and styles, let Lauren try on as many dresses as she wanted without ever making us feel rushed, and even brought out different veil options so we could see the complete look. They truly doted on us and made us feel like family. The boutique itself is PRISTINE, charming, beautiful, and spacious, with two large mirrored areas and different lighting so you can really see each gown once it's on. Lauren tried on several beautiful dresses, and then she put on THE dress. We all had tears in our eyes. We said YES to the dress on our very first day of wedding dress shopping! We couldn't believe what an effortless, fun, and special experience it was. If you're getting married, make St. Clark Bridal your FIRST stop. You may not need a second!

She had us pulling dresses instead of her doing it. Every other place, I sat and relaxed while they pulled dresses. When the styles that I picked weren't working for me, and I voiced my concern she became difficult. My family tried to talk to her and she shut them down, saying me and her were having private discussions. Finally, when we complained to the owner, Zoe made a passive aggressive comment in front of all of us. And the owner offered nothing, all she said was that I could pay $300 for a special appointment with her. Def would not recommend!

I highly recommend Joli Bride to anyone looking for a special dress and exceptional customer service. Thank you, Zina, for making the experience so memorable!

    Really disappointing experience. I was very clear from the start that I only needed one alteration…read moredone before moving and would handle the rest elsewhere. The seamstress Garine was kind and helpful, but another employee Zina was so incredibly rude. She came off very kind in the beginning but she is a very hostile woman who made the entire experience a very sad one for me and it's still on my mind. When I went to pick up my dress, she called me and immediately accused me of being "disrespectful" for not doing all my alterations with them--something that was never stated to me as a clear policy. In person, she continued to speak to me harshly and said I wasted their time and what I did was not acceptable. She said it so many times and so aggressively I started to cry, and only then she felt bad for being so ridiculously harsh. I even offered to apologize to her seamstress who she claims I was wasting her time, to which she then told told me "it's not a big deal" To make it worse, I was quoted $50 but charged $75 with no clear explanation. I did not want to further argue so I paid what was asked. I went in to pick up my wedding dress, an experience every girl wants to remember for the rest of their lives and left feeling upset and honestly in tears. No customer should be treated this way. Would not recommend doing business with someone like her.

    Terrible customer service. If you're unsure about a dress don't even bother leaving a deposit…read morebecause they will keep your deposit if something goes wrong on their end. My mom went and tried on a dress on Monday and the manager, Irma, told her that she needed to leave a deposit and that it had to be half of the amount of the dress. My mom left the deposit and since they didn't have her size Irma told her that she would order her two sizes that she could try on when she came Thursday to pick up. An XXL and an XL. We got there Thursday and another worker was there and brought out only the XXL but the dress was stained with grease. Then when we asked her about the XL she said it didn't arrive. We never received a phone call from anyone telling us that only one of the dresses had arrived and why would we take a dress with a black grease stain on it? I asked the girl if my mom could just have her deposit back because we didn't have time anymore to be driving back and forth, the dress didn't even fit her and it was dirty. The girl just blankly stared at us and said she had to call her manager Irma. She called her manager in front of us and the manager told her that if we wanted the deposit we had to drive to their location in Buena Park and get it from her. The girl said she could not give a deposit back herself without a manager present. I find that odd, most stores can give deposits back why does a manager need to be present? I asked the girl when her manager was available at each location, and she wrote it down for me and everything so we could stop by another day. We had already wasted time and gas getting to that location. Irma agreed over the phone to give us the deposit and we heard it too because they talked in front of us. Forward the next day and Irma calls my mom telling her that she can't give her the deposit anymore and she can come instead Tuesday to try on the dresses because she would be ordering them. We told her she had literally confirmed yesterday that we would get a deposit back, then she played clueless and said who said that? I took the phone and said you said that, we heard the call when your worker called you. She got upset and said she would need to see who we were talking about and said she would call back. I'm pretty sure she will not be calling back. Please avoid this shop at all costs.

He had to wear broken shoes the entire time event! I just thought they would reimburse us or something for this terrible inconvenience. So I go back to return the rentals, as I walk in a woman is literally changing a baby boys diaper on the counter where they help customers...yuck! I tell her about the shoes and she offered nothing! Turns out she was the manager. Her name was DULCE. I asked her if she thought that was fair that my grandson wore broken shoes the whole night and she said it wasn't her fault and he could have broken the shoes! OMG that's CRAZY!!! Such terrible customer service! If I could give negative stars I would!

I'm 5'10 and slender, and I recently won Miss Los Angeles Chinatown as Queen, so I came in excited to find something special with a bit of variety. Instead, I felt judged and dismissed. When I asked about dresses, the associate kept emphasizing how "expensive" everything was, repeatedly mentioning that pieces were hand-made and costly in a way that felt less informative and more like she was assuming I couldn't afford them. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary. I only got to try on one dress, and even then, there was no real effort to help me explore options or make the experience enjoyable. It felt like she didn't want to assist me or take the time to work with me at all. The shop itself is in a house, which I don't mind, but the customer service was extremely lacking. On top of that, many of the dresses seemed too short for taller girls, which made the selection even more limiting. Overall, I felt unwelcome, unsupported, and honestly discouraged. Qipao shopping should feel exciting and special, and this was the complete opposite.

I went back to try on my dress after she had completed everything but I had lost so much weight since the initial fitting that the dress was too big.
