BOOK THE APPOINTMENT!!! This was the second shop I went wedding dress shopping at and I wish I made it my first one!! This experience was incredible and I cannot recommend this store enough. I worked with Mallory and even got to meet the owner, Maya. The service I received with Mallory (Mal) felt like a night and day difference when compared to the precious shop I went too. Mal listened to my concerns, my needs, and adjusted to find better selections when I wasn't even sure of what I wanted! I was torn between 2 dresses for different reasons. When I showed my concerns, Mal was able to talk me through my choices and helped me decide. Photo included is the dress I did not pick but hope someone else does!!! BOOK THE APPT, you WILL NOT REGRET IT! read more

Genevieve's Bridal Couture - Pearl dress! - Bridal Near Me - Deer Park, Illinois

I found my dream dress at Genevieve's! Monika was a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly patient and understood the vision! Highly recommend Genevieve's! read more

I found out about Genevieve's through a referral from someone else who bought their dress at Genevieve's. My trip to Genevieve's was my first experience trying on dresses and I didn't appreciate just how good their service was at the time! Monika was very kind, thorough, discreet and knowledgeable. She helped me find the style that I was ultimately looking for (I had no idea what I was doing) and her selections were spot on. I chose to shop around for a few more weeks but eventually called back to order my dress! If you are early or late in your dress shopping - go to Genevieve's. They had a large selection of dresses that all felt like such great quality and the service was helpful without being obtrusive. Compared to other stores Genevieve's felt calmer and more professional. They set a very high standard that I couldn't find elsewhere. Their selection of dresses felt well maintained (some other dress shops had dresses that really needed to be retired) and classy (no buttons popping off and the dresses I tried on were are in the same size, 14, so I felt like I had a safe comparison across dresses). All of the dresses I tried on had corseting or boning to give the dress support without relying on shapewear. The price range quoted for the store was $2k-$7k but the dresses I selected were actually below $2k. read more

First I would like to Thank Andrea for the amazing time, She is amazing, easy to talk to. She knew what my daughter was looking for. She was with us the whole time. Answered all our questions.

First place first dress and we just had to go with 2 dresses that is how amazing this little bridal shop is. Thank you so much Andrea for everything. We will send you photos of the wedding. Congratulations on your baby. Totally love this woman. She is the sweetest and nicest person ever!!! Thank you again. Tina and Samantha. xoxo read more

We came bridal dress shopping here recently, and truly got a 5 star experience from the moment we walked in. We went to a few bridal shops before our appointment and while some were nice, they did not feel as welcoming as it was here. The bride had a blast looking around, the music was upbeat. And after trying on a few dresses, we forgot about the other contenders because it was just that great. The dresses range in a decent price range, when we we went there was a sale and they had a great amount of dresses that were on sale for $300-$900. On top of that they had some fun mirrors and super cute seating areas. The staff was extremely kind, and gave us all the time we needed and more to look around, and gave suggestions and options to have the bride feel comfortable in the gown. All in all, we had the best time and I will forever recommend this bridal shop to future bridal and friends! read more

If I could have started my wedding dress shopping here, I would have. Genevieve's is an absolute bridal dream. They not only have such a wide variety of dresses, but their customer service and experience shines. My stylist, Andrea, was amazing and truly made the experience that much more special. You can tell the store/business prioritizes customer service and customer experience. I truly can't say enough amazing things about Genevieve's! Is a MUST when dress shopping! read more

We had the most amazing experience with Andrea this past Saturday! She was so kind and helpful with selecting wedding dresses that felt authentic to me! The bridal salon is also extremely beautiful with lots of natural light - I wanted to say yes to every dress! I SAID YES TO THE PERFECT DRESS! Thank you so much to the team at Genevieve's Bridal Couture and a special thank you to Andrea for all your help! You helped make this day so special and stress-free. :) read more

If you are looking for your wedding dress look no further! Genevieve's bridal couture made my experience amazing! Andrea Van Cleave was my bridal stylist and she was so helpful! She took into account the inspiration pics I showed her as well as she adjusted throughout when she realized what I liked and what I didn't like. She was patient and gave information about each dress as well as giving me time to talk with my mom and walk around in it. I chose my dress that first fitting, and I am not one to make a decision that quickly! Highly recommend this place and Andrea as a bridal stylist! read more

Genevieve's Bridal Couture - Bridal Near Me - Deer Park, Illinois

I'll admit, I was super nervous to try on dresses for the first time. I didn't know what to expect and was feeling incredibly anxious. Right from the start, Lizzie was warm and inviting. She asked me about my vision and style and helped pull a few dresses. She made me feel very comfortable and was constantly checking in on how I was feeling during the appointment. I fell in love with the first dress I tried on, and she really made it come together with the perfect veil. I ended up canceling my other appointment that day, and she graciously offered to cover the cancellation fee. My mom, maid of honor, and I had such a wonderful experience here - thank you, Lizzie! read more

Genevieve's Bridal was my favorite stop when looking at wedding dresses. The selection was huge and everyone was so helpful. A special shoutout to Andrea who helped me find my wedding dress. She was super friendly and wanted nothing more than for me to fall in love with a dress. read more

I'm that bride who never get excited about going bridal shopping or have a wedding dress vision years in advance. I thought I would just order one online to avoid all the craziness of going to different stores & trying on different dresses. But my sister recommended for me to visit at least two bridal stores to see what style would look best for my body shape. I must say it's January, my fiance & I decided to just do an elopement style wedding when we travel to Italy for our couple anniversary. That said, I only have 5 months to make sure I get everything on time. I found genevieve's bridal on google and decided it be the first bridal store I would visit because it seem to be my kind of aesthetic place. My experience at genevieve's bridal was amazing! Booking an appointment was easy breezy. They quickly responded & advice me to visit asap due to my wedding being in 5months. Prior to my appointment, they sent me a few questions to answer online that took less than 5minutes. This let them know your budget & style of dress right away before you even step inside the store. Love that! No awkward questions were asked & just have fun trying on dresses. My appointment was last Monday right when they opened. As soon as my sister & I walked in we were greeted warmly. Walking in I legit have no clue what dress I like. I felt bad at first when I didn't picked out a dress when they told me to walk around to see if any might caught my attention. I probably just walked around the store & didn't give much effort looking through each dresses. Monica found 4 dresses that she thought I would like based on my answers. The first dress Monika picked for me to try on was on point for my elopement. It has a flowy light very soft fabric & have the option to add sleeves + slit. I thought it was the one. But I tried on the other dresses she had picked out and my gosh they just keep on getting prettier. The entire time, Monika was there to asked & listen to what I think about each of dresses. She also told me not worry if I don't have any dress idea, she will create a vision for me. I also like the fact that after she helped me out of the fitting room, she would stepped out of sight to give my sister & I privacy to talk. She also didn't mind when my sister picked a mermaid dress, even though it was a for sure a big NO for me. I tried on two mermaid dress one my sister picked out & one Monika picked. I was surprised I found myself liking them. Monika also had me try a more puffy dress with long sleeves. The last dress Monika had me tried on was the one. It literally fit my personality & give that earthy vibe. Even though the last dress was the one, Monika & my sister asked me to try on the first dress that I liked. I still love the first dress but when Monika help me put on the last dress again it was for sure the ONE. Monika tried putting 3 different type style sleeves to see which style I would like best. I probably tried on 6 or more dresses. It was not stressful. I actually had fun trying the dresses Monica & my sis had picked for me. I did not feel overwhelmed nor pressured to buying even though I told Monika I had booked another bridal appointment that week. The entire experience was above & beyond my expectations. So by exactly 12pm, how can I not say "YES" to the last dress? And "Yay! I don't have to go to another bridal shop:D" They also email the receipt because I think I forgot to grab the paper copy they gave me. For the purchasing, this was where I'm giving a minus star. There was a little miscommunication. Monica did tell me the dress will arrive in April, length will be as is so I would have to get it altered elsewhere & it will be extra charge for the sleeves fabric. But since she asking & adjusting how I want the sleeves + how I want the buttons to be- I thought it was either the designer or them who would put the sleeves & slit. Later that week, Maya not Monika sent me information regarding the price for the sleeve fabric. Only then did I found out about the little miscommunication. I thought I had ordered it as custom with slit and all that's why I went a little over my budget. But I completely understand specially since my wedding is in late June this year. Maya told me the dress will be pulled from inventory that will be ready to ship end of April. I order the size Monika recommended so I hope the size is perfect. I'm planning to go at the alteration they recommended. Specially now that not only do I need the length shorten, but also need them to do the slit & sleeves. If I had known I would have taken notes on how I wanted the sleeves or took a detail photo of it. No hard feelings though, I still appreciated how quickly they respond to any questions & the quality of service from booking to trying on dresses was wonderful. I would still recommended Genevieve's bridal to future brides. I will update & post my dress later. Photos are some pretty dresses I said no to that my sister captured. read more

After falling in love with a Blanche Bridal wedding dress online, I came to discover that Genevieve's was one of the few bridal salons in the US to get that specific style this year. This dress was not one I ever imagined myself in, but I had to find it and see it in person. After chatting back and forth with salon owner Maya for months, I finally traveled from the West Coast to Chicago with my mom and best friend to try on the dress. We were immediately greeted by my consultant Andrea and owner Maya when arriving to the salon. Andrea is an absolute rockstar of a consultant! She pulled the dress that I was there to look at, but also helped me find a number of other dresses that were in the style I originally saw myself in. She pulled other dresses that I chose in-store, but also gave her recommendations and advice on what she thought I may like. Throughout the entire process, she was always listening to my thoughts and attentive to what I did/didn't like about the dresses that we pulled. After saying yes to the dress, we were able to take our time trying on veils and accessories before celebrating with champagne after measurements were taken. I never felt rushed or pressured during the process, and actually felt less stressed than I initially thought that I would! I cannot wait to travel back to Genevieve's for my fitting next year, and will be recommending this salon to all of my friends that are future brides! read more

I can't say enough good things about Genevieve's! My whole experience was wonderful as soon as I walked through the door. The whole staff is super welcoming and friendly, and the shop itself is so pretty and well put together. I had Monika as my stylist, and she was amazing - so kind, helpful and patient! It's overwhelming trying to find the perfect dress, so having her help made my experience a lot less stressful. I did end up with my perfect dress (which I can't stop thinking about) so I highly recommend Genevieve's to anyone looking for THE dress. read more

I loved this place! The atmosphere, the gowns, and the service were amazing! Monica truly saved us! Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wedding dress! read more

A dream come true experience! After visiting a few other boutiques, walking into Genevieve was a breath of fresh air! I was beginning to feel overwhelmed in my search for the perfect dress. But at Genevieve's, it was so relaxed, easy, and fun! Plus, the store is so chic and stylish that trying on dresses in the open, natural-light of the store brought such beauty to every gown they have. Monika, you made this moment so wonderful and stress-free! Thank you for making me feel comfortable and being so accommodating. I couldn't be more happy with my decision! read more

I had an amazing time trying on dresses at Genevieve's this past weekend. I cannot thank the staff enough for their patience with me as I tried on dress after dress, not quite feeling right about any of them. My stylist very quickly realized Thebes in what I liked, and she kept bringing more dresses to refine my style - and then she brought me the one!! It was an easy, comfortable experience and the way I hope it is for everyone as they dress shop. I cannot thank Genevieve's enough for making it such a fun experience for me. read more

Very nice people, but the business is "bridal dress only." Nothing negative about them; just letting everyone know the scope of their business. read more

I had a wonderful experience at this shop. They were extremely easy to communicate with and accommodated my scheduling needs. The appointment was for 1 hour and I got one hour of full attention to my dress buying experience...no other customers - just me! It was wonderful!!Dresses were picked out accoding to my budget and preferences. I experienced absolutely no pressure to buy and no judgmental comments about needing to enbrace bridal tradition. I would highly recommend checking this shop out!! Great experience!! read more

Genevieve's Bridal Couture - Beautiful shop and a great open space for previewing dresses in natural light. - Bridal Near Me - Deer Park, Illinois

I found my dress in literally an hour because Monica was so so helpful! She took all of my considerations, wishes, and needs and put them all into finding the perfect dress! Every single gown was intricate and beautiful, i honestly wish I could try on those dresses everyday it was so fun. read more

I wish I got my dress from here because the experience was lovely and Erin was great and found the perfect dress because she listened to what I like and didn't like (only reason I didn't buy was because I found a very similar sample dress somewhere for less). The sign with my name was a very sweet touch. I was nervous about my appointment but Erin made me feel less nervous read more

I bought my dress here. They were very helpful and it was very chic and clean. I would definitely recommend them

I accompanied my sister-in-law to Genevieve's the week before Thanksgiving to shop for her dream wedding gown. Upon arriving, the shop was immaculate! It is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and clean. They had hand sanitizer available immediately, and we appreciated their mask policy. Our stylist was INCREDIBLE. She was so attentive and was skilled at active listening as my sister-in-law described what she was looking for and walked with her through the racks to pull a few gowns. One by one, she tried on each gown, and described what she liked or didn't like. The bride to be was allowed to take her mask off once she got up on the pedestal, which was nice! Once the gown was fluffed, the stylist stepped back and let the bride to be talk rather than offer her own thoughts, but she was clearly listening and pulled a few different gowns as my sister-in-law's opinions changed. Once she had narrowed it down to two, she put on a veil and gave her a bouquet to hold in the top contenders. My sister-in-law ended up going with the first dress she tried on, and our consultant was so clearly so full of joy and genuine happiness for her. The process was seamless and I am SO glad we came to Genevieve's! read more

I can't say enough about Genevieve's! I had the most fabulous experience from the moment I walked in the door. The whole staff was supportive, welcoming, and friendly. The store is gorgeous and has a beautiful layout. Andrea was my stylist and she made the whole experience stress-free, easy and fun. She helped guide me to the perfect dress. She was so patient, encouraging, and really made me feel like a Bride/Princess. We loved the way she described the dresses by calling them by their name. For example, "This is Jane. She has beautiful lacing that goes down the back." She knew what she was talking about and how to choose dresses that were right for me. I highly recommend going to Genevieves. You will have a wonderful experience! Thank you, to Andrea and the staff, for helping me find the perfect dress for my special day! read more

Amazing experience!! I was nervous to try dresses on- wasn't 100% sure what I wanted, didn't know if they'd fit, etc. But from the moment I walked in Maya did everything to make me feel comfortable at at ease. I went with my mom and bridesmaids. Before we even got to the store, there is a sign outside with my name on it. Such a fun way to start. Maya set it up so we were the only ones in there. We were offered champagne and cookies as soon as we walked in. She was very respectful of my budget and was able to pull styles that either were the same or very similar from my Pinterest board. The store is big and BEAUTIFUL! Tons of natural light, a lot of room to walk around in the dresses and see how they feel. I felt so relaxed the whole time I was in the store and am happy to say that I found my dress. I didn't feel any pressure to buy anything or to even love the dresses. I cannot recommend Genevieve's Bridal Couture enough. Totally worth the drive out from the city. read more

Genevieve's was the best choice I made when it came to shopping for my wedding dress. My wedding day this past weekend was perfect and I owe a lot of thanks to Genevieves. The owner Maya and Monika are absolutely amazing to work with and made me feel so special from day one. I couldn't recommend them more!! Thank you Maya and Monika!!! read more

I can't thank the women at Genevieve's enough for helping me find my perfect wedding dress. They listened to what I wanted, brought me multiple options that fit that style and we found my perfect dress in 1 day! All of the dresses I tried on were BEAUTIFUL! Maya, the owner, made my day even better after finding out that my fiancé is a police officer. Her husband is also an officer and she made my day more special after bonding over that. I can't recommend this beautiful boutique enough to brides looking for an amazing experience while looking for their dream dress. Carley was amazing as well! She helped me fit into the dresses and was honest with me about how they fit and looked as well as being very personable. You ladies made my day and I can't thank you enough! read more

Genevieve's was my first stop and I absolutely loved it! I felt so special walking up with my name on the sign, and the one-on-one attention was great. I provided my budget and was brought to the section that had all the dresses I could choose from. Once I tried on a few dresses, the girl helped listen to which parts I liked and which I didn't, and ended up bringing the perfect dress over that I ended up getting! I had no idea what features I wanted, so she really helped narrow it down for me. I went to one other shop the same day (I had an appointment and was always told you can't get the first one) but I kept going back to the dress at Genevieve's in my mind. The other place I went didn't treat me as amazing as I felt at Genevieve's, the entire experience was awesome let alone how much I loved the dress. I told the girl about the other appt but how I was 99% sure this was it, so she brought out champagne for saying yes to the dress. I was even given a 10% discount for memorial day weekend. Such a great place!! I can't rave enough. read more

This place is wonderful. The location is amazing and the inside of the boutique has a lot of light. This was my first place I had gone to look for dresses. Monika was super nice and helpful. Maya, the owner, was also there and super involved also. She let my mom and bridesmaid pull dresses while pulling other dresses that she thought I would like. She also let me try on two dresses multiple times because I could not decide between the two of them. She let me walk around with them, put on different veils, etc. I ended up going to another store to just see what else was out there and saying yes to my number one choice there which I had tried on at Genevieve's. Because the selection is smaller for the A-line and Ball Gown type dresses I was able to try on more at the other salon and narrow down my top choices; where at Genevieve's I only found two I liked and after trying on my number two at the other shop I completely hated it. I knew that they had a small selection at Genevieve's when I requested an appointment so I am not saying that is a problem at all because I was aware of that prior to coming. I ended up buying the dress at another store simply because it was $320 cheaper there; otherwise if they were the same price I definitely would have called Genevieve's and made my purchase since they were the ones that introduced me to that dress. The reason I am giving them a 4 star instead of a 5 is for the simple fact that they do not let you take pictures. I think its important to see yourself in picture before making a huge decision about what you are going to spend a bug chunk of money on and wear on the most important day of your life. Other salons have no problems with you taking pictures. I would like to add I talked to Maya the Monday after my appointment & she was super nice and understanding that I bought the dress somewhere else. She told me she would have price matched for me & I appreciated that. If I would have known that I would have definitely bought from Genevieve's like I said before they are awesome. read more

I had a great experience here yesterday. The shop is beautiful and everyone there was so friendly and helpful. We were fortunate to have the store to ourselves for my appointment - which I believe is their standard for weekday appointments. I'm on a short timeframe for a dress and they were so helpful in finding dresses in the styles I liked, but also confirming the timeframe would work before I tried anything on. Everything made for a nice relaxed and special experience. read more

We went to Genevieve's today for our first of several bridal shop appts. My daughter-in-law to be generously invited me to join her and her mom. Monika greeted us at the door for our appt. She was prepared, having selected several of the style mentioned by my DIL to be when she made the appt. We were encouraged to find a few more and then it was time to try these beauties on. Monika was so sweet and helpful, adding information, ideas and options along the way. We weren't rushed and the total focus was on my DIL to be. Veils, jewelry and accessories were available to try. It couldn't have been a better appt. with such experienced, warm customer service. Had no idea this special bridal store existed in the Arboretum. Pretty sure we will not need to look elsewhere. So happy a stunning dress was found for my sweet DIL to be. Thank you to Monika for helping us create a lovely memory! read more

When I arrived, I didn't have as high of hopes because this is a smaller shop. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I tried on a lot of dresses considering how many they had. The woman who helped me was very nice and accommodating as well. She would always ask if there was anything I would change about the dress, and she tried to find a solution to make each dress perfect. read more

Everyone at Genevieve's was so helpful and accommodating. Smaller selection but everything they had was high quality for a great value, and I much prefer smaller selections to not get overwhelmed! They were running a trunk show sale and I found the gown of my dreams, but was hesitant to buy without important family members there. The owner allowed me to put down a deposit to hold the sale price, but held off on ordering the dress so I could come back next time I'm in town. Truly awesome service. read more

Really enjoyed my shopping experience at Genevieve's Bridal! They had written my name on a welcome sign outside the door (a good personalized touch), as well as cookies and water for the group. Francesca introduced herself to my entire party and was able to pull a good number of dresses based on the specific style I wanted. They also had dresses from recent collections that I hadn't seen in other stores with the same designers. The shop has high ceilings, tons of natural light, and you can be seen from outside the storefront while you are standing on the pedestal. The dressing room is basically a large curtain that is pulled around you while you get into the dress. You get the entire shop to yourself during the appointment, so Francesca let me walk around in each dress to get a better feel of how each one moved and looked from both close up and afar. I was never pressured to buy and had a blast the entire time. read more

First off, Maya your shop is beautiful! I've been to a few bridal shops but nothing compares to yours! The moment I walked in to your shop, your team greeted me and made me feel like a princess! I tried on multiple dresses and Monika was with me every step of the way. She let me take as much time as I needed until I was 100% satisfied... And I said yes to the dress! I would just like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me through this big moment in my life finding the right dress! I can't wait to show my future hubby and all of our guest this summer my beautiful wedding dress! Thank you once again and I highly recommend this shop to every bride! Maya and her team are amazing! read more

I went with my daughter to Genevieve's yesterday and was not at all impressed with the way they handled the experience for my daughter. The very young salesperson needs to work on how she speaks to a customer coming in to make it a more positive experience. It was very unprofessional. She needs a few lessons in communication in a sensitive nature. They only had dresses in small sizes which makes it an unpleasant experience for someone that wears over a size 12. I wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone. They are a fairly new business and really need to gain some experience on how to treat customers and not assume everyone is petite. read more

We loved Genevieves!! As soon as we pulled up, we had a fun experience and I felt like a bride. They did a great job helping us pick dresses that I would like, we had the whole store to ourselves, didn't feel rushed, and felt very tended to. Both the owner and her associate were super sweet. I ended up finding the dress there! (first time ever trying on dresses, first and only store trying on dresses) They celebrated with us by giving us all champagne and letting us take pictures. It was really fun and very successful. Not to mention the shop is so cute. I would highly recommend this shop for your wedding dress shopping!! :) read more

Genevieves is great. I emailed with Maya (the owner) about a specific gown, and she was able to request it specifically during a trunk show. I loved the atmosphere and did not feel pressured at all about buying a dress. We got cookies and champagne while trying on dresses, too. When I walked in, there was a big sign with my name welcoming me, which was super sweet. Also Maya is very easy to reach by email or phone, and she contacted me immediately when my dress came in early. Highly recommend this place. read more

As a future bride, I went into Genevieve's bridal couture with high expectations. Not only is the selection of dresses exactly what I was looking for but The level of service I received exceeded my expectations. They have stunning and affordable dresses and their staff is so accommodating and nice. I highly recommend this boutique for future brides. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

Just purchased my dress from Genevieves!! I had an amazing experience there. Maya was incredibly knowledgeable of the stores selection and wasn't pushy like most other salons. I walked in and showed them my Pinterest page to which they immediately pulled the dress I ended up buying. Genevieves was the first salon I went to and after trying two other places I ran back to them! read more

If you want a special, personalized, and fun wedding dress shopping experience, this is where you want to go. Maya helped me find my dream dress and I couldn't be happier.
