    Kleinfeld Bridal is everything it is cracked up to be. And there are not a lot of OG legendary places that can still meet that bar. The ghosts here are good ones!! Expertise matters when you work with a bridal consultant and we could not have been happier with ours. It was truly an experience right out of the tv show. We came, we saw, we went home overjoyed! If you are afraid Kleinfeld is too commercial or overhyped, fear not. It is the place where bridal dreams really do come true.

    I was honestly a little nervous going into my appointment at Kleinfeld because of some of the reviews I had read. Plus, I grew up watching the show with my mom, so my expectations were really high. This was my very first bridal appointment, and since I had no idea what style I wanted, we booked the three-hour appointment. I got paired with Dylan, and he was seriously the best. He listened to everything I liked and didn't like, let me try on all kinds of styles, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. He made the whole experience so much fun, and I honestly wish I could relive that day over and over. We also came in way UNDER budget! Randy was also there that day, which was so surreal. He checked in on us a few times and was so kind and genuine. He took picture with everyone in the salon that day. One of my favorite parts was being able to walk around the showroom and pull dresses with Dylan. If you're thinking about going to Kleinfeld, do it. I had the best experience. The selection is amazing, the people are incredible, and I truly couldn't have imagined a better first bridal appointment.

    The place has a lot of hype around it and people pay good money just to try the dresses on. However, if you truly look around the place, it's run down, stained carpet, chipped paint etc. it could use a bit of a refresh. Most of the staff is really amazing. The veil lady is a piece of work.

    We have watched Say Yes to the Dress for many years and it seems like almost every episode. Of course, when in New York, we had to visit the shop. Visitors can sit in the lobby and go downstairs and look at the accessories without an appointment. That is all we were looking for. Everyone was truly nice here and they felt welcoming. We had a magical experience just watching all the brides walk by and everybody looks so happy. Definitely worth the time to come visit them.

    Kleinfeld went above and beyond for this wheelchair-using bride! We contacted Kleinfeld in advance, noting both the wheelchair and the bride's preferences for specific dresses from a variety of designers. While Kleinfeld did not have in stock the specific dresses we wanted to see, they arranged to "loan in" some of the dresses we preferred and pulled several dresses of similar aesthetic from their extensive stock, while respecting our price parameters. Our bridal consultant Brandi and her intern Gabi provided a lovely wheelchair accessible room for us, assisted in changing gowns, offered valuable advice on ordering, measurements, logistics, alterations and accessories. They provided us ample time and privacy to discuss alternatives and make our decisions. Once we decided on the preferred wedding gown, they brought in the accessories expert, the alterations expert, and the measurements expert to take care of all the details. The entire experience was lovely. Note: If you are looking for a particular gown from a designer that Kleinfeld carries (but doesn't have in stock), ask AT LEAST three weeks in advance if they might "loan in" that dress (in a relevant size) from the designer.

    I had a fabulous time. I did my research and I knew what to expect in terms of pricing and service. This led me to decide on a GOLD appointment so that me and my party could have the privacy and service level I wanted. It was truly a dream come true. This credit primarily goes to Stephen my stylist. He was phenomenal. Courteous, considerate, stylish, patient, and funny. We were all floored by the professionalism of the staff and the variety of dresses that the boutique carries. I got to try a lot of dresses just for fun because this is a once in a lifetime experience. Stephen, Cynthia, and Lindsay made my dream come true and I'm eternally grateful to them. I got to say yes to the dress that made me feel absolutely beautiful!

    STOP AND READ BEFORE BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT First, congratulations on your engagement -- I truly hope you find your dream dress! That said, I strongly encourage you to filter reviews here and on Google by lower-star ratings -- especially from real brides -- before deciding to book at Kleinfeld Bridal. What you find might save you a lot of stress, tears (and money). Here's my honest and incredibly disappointing experience at Kleinfeld: First Appointment (9 months prior to wedding) Prior to visit, I submitted 4-5 reference numbers of dresses before my visit, as requested. At the appointment, my consultant Lisa F. informed me that all dresses would need to be "rushed" to arrive in time -- even though my wedding was 9 months away (#1 ). Only 2 of my selected dresses were pulled for the appointment (#2 - unprepared). One of the dresses I tried on was the 'Lily-Blanch' in size 8 -- and it fit perfectly (See photo). Lisa mentioned it had been stretched by other try-ons, but I made it clear I was actively losing weight and was happy with current size and fit. Then the hard-sell tactics started (#3 ): constant pressure to "Say Yes to the Dress," non-stop! this is not an exageration. Second Appointment - Dress Try-On + Order I returned a few weeks later to try on the dress again and place my order. I specifically confirmed that I was fine with the cup size and cleavage, and Lisa even noted on the order twice: "Bride is okay with cleavage." I was measured and all paperwork was completed. However, they stamped my form with: "PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOUR ORDER IS STAMPED FOR CLOSE DELIVERY... 4 WEEKS OR LESS TO YOUR EVENT." This wasn't true -- the dress was supposed to arrive 4 months before the wedding. This appears to be a tactic to upcharge on alterations . Dress Pickup - A Major Issue This is where everything fell apart (#4 ) They ordered a size 12, NOT ONE BUT TWO SIZES BIGGER (see picture) -- even though all notes confirmed the smaller size fit me. Their reason/excuse? To "cover cleavage," despite written confirmation that I was fine with it. Naturally, the size 12 was falling off me. The proposed solution? - A $1,750 alteration fee -- almost half the cost of the dress -- to tailor it down. - When I objected: Staff tried to discuss the issue in front of other clients (zero privacy). - They didn't acknowledge the mistake. - They offered an "off-the-books" deal to do the alterations at someone's house for $1,200. as a "favor" for the inconvenience. - No apology. No accountability. No resolution. By that point, returning the dress wasn't an option -- with limited time and the wedding being based internationally, I was stuck. If you still choose to book at Kleinfeld, PLEASE: 1. Expect sales pressure, comparable to car sales experience. 2. Document everything. Take notes, confirm order details in writing, and request copies. Ask them to explain every detail. 3. Bring someone with you. A second set of eyes (and ears) helps. 4. Question everything. Ask about sizing, fees, delivery timing -- get clear answers. 5. Don't assume they have your best interest at heart. You're not getting a luxury service -- you're being pushed through a high-volume sales machine. This review isn't about one employee. It's about a broken system where policies lack transparency, errors are brushed off, and brides are treated more like transactions than clients. To Kleinfeld: If you want to uphold your reputation as a luxury bridal destination, train your staff better, stop the pressure sales, and be honest with your clients. Brides deserve better. Your alternative solution, coming here to reply to unsatisfied brides is not making a difference!

    My sisters and I have been a fan of say yes to the dress since we were children now in our 30s and 40s. The store was truly amazing to see however, I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would have been. The Staff was very professional and courteous. Our bridal expert was Chloe, so sweet, beautiful, and truly a gem. She had nothing to do with the reason I am giving four stars, she deserves five. Even though we did not pick the dress from Kleinfeld, she gave us the knowledge and know how, direction to be able to find the right dress, so I thank her for that. On another note, I didn't enjoy sharing a pedestal with another bride. I think it was super invasive and cut into the time allotted. It will be my suggestion that each bride has their own attention during their time and not so much of a rush shop with having two brides to share the same area at the same time. Would I recommend Kleinfeld's? It was truly just for the experience,it's more of the classic bride store with a lot of lace and tulle.

    Randi and I

    I had Lisa as my stylist, and it was an absolute dream. She had already pulled things I had liked and what she thought I may like. I tried on 12 dresses, then put back on my top two. After seeing those both with a vail, I was able to Say Yes to The Dress with Lisa and Randi!

    Melody C.

    I don't watch Say Yes to the Dress, but I booked an appointment here because they carried a lot of brands that I was interested in. Upon arriving, my mom and I were seated with a bunch of other ladies waiting for their appointment in the big lobby. Its setup was fancier than most dress places I've been to, but also less welcoming and friendly. I didn't appreciate the slight wait past my appointment time, but when my consultant was ready for me, she came out to get me. The whole process reminded me of waiting at the doctor's office. I tried on a good amount of dresses here, but my consultant was very petite and I felt bad for her having to deal with all the big dresses I was trying on. She wasn't as warm as other consultants from other wedding dress shops but she did her job. I liked that I was given a room with my own mirrors inside. The privacy was top-notch, but the room was a bit on the smaller side. I'd have to say Kleinfeld was my least favorite wedding dress shop. But I think it still deserves a visit if they carry a dress or designer you like.

    Do you have to pay for a reservation?

    Kleinfeld offers various dress shopping appointment types. View our booking options here: https://www.kleinfeldbridal.com/kleinfeld-appointments/

    Hello. We are traveling from Florida and have an upcoming appointment in December. We have 5 guests total and understand you suggest 3. These 5 guests are very special. Is this ok?

    Hi Theresa! Can you please email me at WeCare@kleinfeldbridal.com? Please provide me with the appointment date and bride's name. Thank you!

    How long does it take a dress to arrive after it is purchased?

    It depends on the designer! I ordered my dress in March 2021 and it came in Jan 2022 for my April 2022 wedding. You can always email to check the status of your dress!

    Do you only sell dresses or do provide renting gown service?

    Hi Ayaka, Kleinfeld does not rent dresses. Our dresses options are for purchase via special order with a limited selection of dresses that can be taken home the same day.… 

    Can you just stop by without an appointment to view dresses?

    Does Kleinfeld's do appts for gowns other than bridal - for instance something that would be suitable for a prom?

    They sell bridesmaid dresses and mother of the bride dresses. Appointments are required to try those on. Some of the bridesmaid dresses could probably work for prom.

    What's it like shopping here as a plus size bride? How accommodating are they?

    Hi Maya! We are proud to carry the largest selection of plus size wedding dresses in the country. In fact, we have over 200 styles in store in bridal sizes 18-22 for you to try on! Plus, almost every single one of our over 1200 styles can be ordered… 

    My budget is on the smaller side 1,000 or less.. would I be able to find something here?

    Hi Lindsay C., Thank you for your inquiry. Kleinfeld carries some dresses in that price point… 

    Is anyone with an upcoming appointment being asked to provide documentation of a 14-day quarantine prior to their visit?

    Hi Shanica N., Yes! For brides with upcoming appointments arriving from a state that is on the NY State quarantine list, we require that you provide proof that you traveled… 

    Are there prom dresses?

    No, only wedding dresses

    As a plus size bride what would recommendations be? I read in one of the comments to book a late appointment also to wear stuff comfortable underneath....anything else I should keep in mind?! TIA!!

    There busy all day so late or early it wouldn't make a difference. I would recommend wearing a strapless bra and if you feel comfortable control top pantyhose or even spanx . They have lots of plus size options the sky's the limit . I recommend a… 

    I can't afford a dress just being honest but Im having one made out of state and need my measurements ACCURATE. I can only be in town one day to get final fittings and then leave. Is there anyway I can just come here to get measurements?

    Can I bring champagne to our appointment?

    They don't let you have anything except water in the main salon. All other food/drink must be consumed in the lobby.

    Wedding Atelier - New York City…read more Wedding Atelier completely ruined my dress during alterations. The cups that were sewn in were two sizes too small, causing my bust to bulge out of the dress. The underwire cut into my chest, pushing one breast to the right and the other upward. With every fitting, the situation got worse rather than better -- leaving me in tears with my wedding only a week away. I ultimately had to take the dress to another seamstress just to salvage it. To make matters worse, after three fittings, they had not even completed a hem. Wedding Atelier charged $1,300 for alterations -- payment required at the time of purchase -- and refused to refund a single dollar despite the damage they caused. The owner, Carrie, was completely unsympathetic and unwilling to take any accountability for what happened. She is unethical,. If you want to protect yourself from unnecessary heartache and stress in the lead-up to your wedding day, I strongly urge you to take your business elsewhere.

The fitting "area" didn't have a mirror so note it's more challenging to closely inspect the dress on your own. Definitely overpriced for very limited selection, which lacked variety. Was surprised that samples were often only priced maybe $500 off the "original price" (questionable if the listed original prices were even accurate, seems inflated, so hardly any cost savings). Many of the dresses were barely more than 20% off, most lower. They do have a small selection (1 rack) of plus sized dresses, although I didn't look through them but something to consider if you fall into that size range. Most of the dress sizes in bridal sizes 8-12, which had several racks. Hastily purchased a gown that I do regret. Note their policy of final sale, no exchanges. They do not take walk ins, but I called day of and received a same day appointment. I guess if you're desperate for a last minute dress with not many options, this places fills a role as you may find something to settle on. Apparently they have independent tailors they work with in store who they claim can quickly do last minute alterations as well but I cannot speak to the quality of said work and I see reviews questioning the quality. I also noticed they handle sales tax in an unusual way, which others may want to be aware of. Wouldn't say this is worth including in your journey to finding a gown in NYC unless you've run out of options.

    SAID YES TO THE DRESS!…read more I had an incredible experience at WONA in New York City. I booked an appointment for 5 Pm on a Friday, and from the moment I walked in, I was so impressed by the space. It is extremely large, clean, and beautifully decorated. They have two completely separate, huge rooms, so you are in total privacy from any other bride, which made the appointment feel really personal and calm. It was by far the largest room I had been in at any bridal salon in New York City. The guest area was also beautiful, with a large, gorgeous couch, and the actual fitting room was huge (definitely the most space I had anywhere while trying on dresses). My stylist was Sylvia, and she was absolutely amazing. She knew the dresses inside and out, answered all of my questions immediately, and seemed to know exactly which dresses I would want to try on. She was extremely personable and gave the perfect amount of space for me to figure out what I liked about each dress, while also offering helpful suggestions and options for what could be changed. I ended up wanting to personalize a dress with detachable sleeves and a non-sparkle lace, and Sylvia knew all of the customization options perfectly. She showed me exactly what the changes could look like and even brought out the identical lace without sparkles so I could really visualize it. She was so patient with me and handled everything perfectly, offering suggestions without ever being overbearing or pushy. She let me walk around in the dress, sit down, and do various poses. I really love many of their dresses as they have the corset back, making them so secure and giving breathability. They have so many incredible dresses with different styles, so it truly is a great place to find a dress. I later came back for a "say yes" appointment with some of my bridesmaids as I was between two dresses, and unfortunately Sylvia wasn't there. However, Hafsa was there and was just as wonderful. She answered so many questions I had about the boning, personalization, timeline, bustle, etc. I ended up saying yes to the dress, and the team was very patient while answering all of my questions about shipping, timing, alterations, etc and letting me read through the entire contract. I had seen some reviews mentioning concerns about the post-purchase experience, so I was a little nervous after purchasing, especially because I had questions about the sleeves and customized lace. However, when I emailed them, they responded very quickly and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I'm happy to update this review as the process continues, but so far WONA has been incredible! The space, the dresses, the privacy, the customization options, and most of all the stylists made this such a special and positive experience!

Jade was my consultant and was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the entire appointment. I was at the store for over three hours, and she made me feel so comfortable and confident in every dress I tried on.

I never felt pressured at any point; everyone truly just wanted me to find a dress that I loved and felt happy in.

The consultant we had to assigned to us had zero suggestions and had no interest in assisting us or making the sale. The dresses were very, very dirty. We paid to see the dresses from the trunk show, the shop was not interested in showing us dresses from the trunk show. The consultant pinned the dresses (instead of clipped) which meant they did not stay in and hurt the bride to be. We were not even offered water, this is NYC in mid summer. We tried three dresses and we could not get out faster and get a drink to recover from this experience. We had this as our last venue because we thought this would be where we bought. We had a sizable budget but will buy from Danielle Frankel or Mark Ingram, they seemed to understand the bridal experience.

    I don't even know where to begin because I don't think I have the words to truly express how…read moreincredible this place is. Prior to my Leanne Marshall appointment, I had gone wedding dress shopping twice and had already surrendered to the fact that the "this is it" moment was something I was never going to have. I left previous wedding dress appointments feeling sad and defeated. I had even sworn off strapless dresses, I loved so much in photographs, because I thought they just didn't look good on me. Not only did Nathan open the showroom early to accommodate me, since I was only there visiting New York for the weekend and booked a last minute appointment, he made me feel more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I had literally developed an anxiety over trying on wedding dresses. However, within seconds Nathan took all that anxiety away. After taking a quick look at me, he immediately pulled the Isabella dress, and said I had to try it on. Though I had sworn off strapless dresses, his confidence and conviction made me excited to give the dress a try. It was the first dress I tried on there, and when I looked in the mirror I could barely believe my eyes. I had never felt more beautiful. I felt like a classic Hollywood actress who belonged on the red carpet. I tried on more dresses. Though each of them impressed me, none cast the same spell as Isabella. Every girl deserves to have her moment- when the entire world stops and all eyes are on her. Nathan gives you that moment. He makes you feel like the star you truly are. Of course, none of this would be possible without Leanne Marshall's vision. I have since tried on other dresses I hoped would compare to hers, but no one else makes them the way she does. She understands what is most flattering on a woman's body, and it's the subtle but very important details she pays attention to that make a world of difference. Her dresses immediately make me feel like I have lost ten pounds! That's pretty magical if you ask me. I haven't purchased my wedding dress quite yet, but after all the dresses I have tried on I can tell you this. I will not be walking down the aisle in anything but a Leanne Marshall dress. Thank you Nathan for the wedding dress appointment of my dreams, and thank you Leanne for your beautiful creations.

However, to see them all (and trust me, you WANT to see them all), set up an appointment (required) to visit her NYC showroom. Each flowing, ethereal gown is more beautiful than the last. And the prices are absolutely fair! I initially worked with Angela, who was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic from the get go. I loved so many of the dresses that it was hard to decide which one to purchase. She was flexible in allowing me to come back in for a second appointment to try on my favorites once more before choosing THE ONE. The showroom is small so you will be the only client there, which makes the experience relaxed and personal. At no point did I feel pressured to buy. After making the final decision, Angela was professional in helping me understand the contract and taking my measurements. My emails were always answered quickly and all communication was easy and pleasant. Shockingly, the dress was finished a week earlier than expected and took only 4 months total! I picked it up today and it is just the most beautiful piece of work. Whitney was very helpful and attentive in completing the sale. I feel beyond lucky to have found Leanne Marshall and to own one of her creations. Pictures to come at a later date :) Brides, do yourself a favor and visit Leanne Marshall Bridal! These gowns are just breathtaking and superior to many others I tried on all over NYC.

I had always loved Sarah Seven designs, and when it came time to choose the dress, they understood me perfectly. I was able to customize a top from one design with the bottom of another, and they made the whole process feel effortless and fun. I anxiously waited for my dress to arrive--and let me tell you, it was worth every second. It fit like a dream and felt so me. And we have to give a moment for the veil. When I first tried it on, it was jaw-dropping--but somehow, it looked even more magical on my wedding day. Every detail came together beautifully, and I'm beyond grateful to the Sarah Seven team for helping bring my vision to life.

He helped me understand the benefits of choosing Sarah Seven versus other designers, and was so easy to chat with as I worked through making a decision on my dress. I brought two of my bridesmaids with me and they had a comfy couch to sit on and watch me as I tried on dresses. The location is so cozy and chic -- we were treated to some bubbly to toast the decision! I also really appreciated their flexibility to let me come back the next day to try on the dress one more time after checking out another designer. It was so helpful especially since I was only visiting New York for a short weekend. Really loved the process and cannot wait to get my custom dress!! thank you again Luke & team!

We worked with Harlow, who was seriously the best!!! We started by talking through what I had already tried on, what I was looking for, my budget, etc. Harlow then pulled wedding dresses that aligned perfectly with everything I had shared. They were soo helpful, warm, and welcoming, and made us all laugh (which really helps make what can sometimes feel like an overwhelming experience so much more enjoyable). The dresses at The White Gown are also beautiful, and the dressing rooms are lovely and spacious. Additionally, the appointment fee is much lower than at many other stores, which is a huge plus. All in all, I had a great experience at The White Gown and would definitely recommend working with Harlow!

    The staff at White Gown were amazing, and the selection of gowns was the best. Unfortunately, our…read moreexperience with the seamstress was very different. The seamstress works alone and was extremely delayed in completing the alterations she had promised my daughter, whom I'll call Dee. In fact, Dee stopped in a few days before what was supposed to be her final fitting to check on the progress. Nothing had been done--and this was a week and a half before the wedding. When Dee expressed how nervous she was, the seamstress told her that she couldn't work on her gown because she was still altering gowns for weddings that very weekend. That is an incredibly stressful thing to hear when a bride is already dealing with everything else that comes with preparing for a wedding. When we finally went for the final fitting, just days before the wedding, there were still issues. Dee had chosen a ballroom bustle, which required additional buttons. The sleeves, which we had been told would be detachable, had instead been sewn directly onto the dress. Long story short, the hem when bustled was uneven, but thankfully, because it grazed the floor, it wasn't particularly noticeable. The sleeves, however, were never aligned correctly. I'm attaching three photos so you can see the problem from both sides. The seamstress did make the straps detachable, so Dee was at least able to take them off after the ceremony, but unfortunately, they are visibly misaligned in all of her wedding photos. We were very happy with the staff and the gown selection at White Gown, but the alteration experience was extremely disappointing and added unnecessary stress at an already stressful time. When I mentioned to the seamstress that she needs help, she said she can't trust anyone else to do it like her - or find the time to train an assistant. That would seem to be something White Gown needs to interced with.
