Denise is a wonderful person and has a great sense of humor. We were laughing and having a blast the whole time. She also knows her stuff and has a keen eye. I'd recommend The Persnickety Bride to anyone looking to find their wedding dress.

My experience at the Persnickety Bride was nothing short of amazing! From the moment I walked in,…read moreDenise and her staff welcomed me with such genuine warmth and enthusiasm that I immediately felt comfortable and at ease. Denise has an incredible ability to understand exactly how you're feeling. She could tell what I loved (and didn't love) just from my facial expressions. She carefully selected gowns that perfectly matched my style, and when I finally put on "the one," we all instantly knew, Denise included. I've been back to the Persnickety Bride countless times since then because Denise is also creating my wedding invitations, and they are absolutely beautiful. Every visit has been such a positive experience, and the entire staff consistently makes me feel welcomed, comfortable, and truly special. I cannot recommend the Persnickety Bride enough. Thank you to Denise and her amazing team for helping me find my dream dress and for designing such stunning wedding invitations!

I've had the most amazing experience working with Natalia at Svetlana Bridal Shop. Back in the fall…read moreI came in alone, starting my dress search with no idea where to start. Natalia's experience quickly narrowed down a few styles for me and she helped me breeze through try-ons for over a dozen dresses during my private appointment in her bright, cheery shop. We decided a custom style, pulling inspiration from a few gowns, was best for my unique vision. She was so talented and quickly sketched up a sample for me and took measurements. Contract signed and payment up front, all I had to do was wait for their skilled seamstresses to do their magic. Turmoil in Eastern Europe delayed the arrival of my dress since it was caught up in customs with significant shipping delays through Feb/March. Natalia proactively communicated updates to me and moved mountains to get my dress to NY on time, with a backup dress tailored for me and ready to go just in case. 7 days before the wedding, we were thrilled that my original dress arrived and Natalia personally hand sewed a few final adjustments for me while I was in the shop, making sure I had peace of mind and left with my beautiful dress in hand. Friends and family commented all weekend that my dress was like a fairytale, that I looked like a princess, and that it was incredibly special. Nothing off the shelf would have made such an impression, and I'm so grateful that Natalia and her team were able to make our wedding so magical. For anyone looking for a personalized experience, peace of mind, and something special - Natalia can make it happen. Thank you!!

I am getting married in June and needed my wedding dress cleaned (it was a sample sale) and I…read morewanted to change some things to my dress. When I first met the owner, Mel, he said he would be able to do the work I wanted and gave me a price. Moving forward a couple of months, I went back many times, and I found that work was either not done (after giving him 2+ months) or things were rushed. I had to call him almost every time, to check on the status of my dress. Not once did someone reach out to me about coming in. In addition, Mel initially said he would hold my dress in the shop, since my wedding was a decent amount of months away. When it was ready, I went to look at the final touches and was told I needed to take it home. The price was also MUCH higher, than what I was told, initially. While the work was being done, an increase in price was never communicated to me. Last week, I took my dress to an actual bridal shop, because I was not happy with the work on my dress. The bridal shop listened to my concerns and had to undo a lot of the work, that had been done, by Mel. On top of what I initially paid, I now how to pay to get it fixed. Furthermore, Gruber's did clean my dress and did take it in a lot, since it wasn't my correct size; but when it came to details, I wish he would have just said that he was not able to do what I wanted and it would have been better to take it to a bridal shop.

I reached out to Majorie around the holidays and asked her to do a rush bridal gown job job for me…read more The alterations for a bridal gown were not significant compared to most bridal gown alterations that are needed.

I came here to get my wedding dress altered and I had a great experience. She mainly speaks spanish…read morebut she understands English as well. Her shop is a small shop on front st in uniondale with only street parking. You have to ring a bell to get which made me felt safe. She altered my wedding dress for $100 and she altered my mom's mother of the bride dress for $75. Shes very affordable and does a good job! They also sell other party stuff like envelope boxes, purses and floral crowns. I got my daughter's floral crown for $20 there. I would definitely recommend her if you want affordable alternations. However, since I have big & heavy breast I wish she would of put cups in my dress. She said with boob tape my mom will be more elevated but i needed a little more support.

Will try to give my honest feedback from my experience with Rahel. I got the entire package from…read moredress, makeup, and photography. I will say I had a great experience with hair/makeup and dress but photography was such a horrible experience. We saw sample pictures beforehand and decided to go with Rahel but the pictures we actually got were no where near what we were given. I will preface and say that we were pre-warned that we were double booked that day and were not going to get the main photographer,however, I am not just upset at the quality of photos but just the lack of professionalism that followed. We ended up taking studio photos that day with the main photographer which actually were edited and came out nice, however, the pictures taken at the venue were terrible with the other photographers. Many of the pictures looked like we were inside a club due to horrible flash. Many pictures we were washed out with flash directly in our faces. Not just that but barely none were edited. We just got a photo dump of nearly 7 gbs of just raw pictures. We hired photography to get professional pictures but we just ended up with a photo dump of just raw photos and terrible ones at that. The worst part is I tried emailing the group about my concerns 3 times with NO response and am just amazed at their unprofessionalism with their clients. I guess once they have your money they just have no regard for you. If at least there was some dialogue about the situation I don't think I would have been as upset but the fact that before the wedding they were very responsive to the silence that followed afterwards is just what is very upsetting.
