    Dress

    I found a dress online for my Prom themed birthday party and it had a "no return" policy. So I showed a picture of it to Marcela and she said she could make it for me at a reasonable price. And we began our fun journey of making my dream dress! Marcela is very kind, talented and professional and together we created a dress that was perfect for my event. I would definitely work with her again.

    Marcela was a friend instantly. Her expertise in detail is truly amazing! She made my wedding dress come to life, It was 3 sizes too big. Thank you Marcela for taking the time, care and love into my wedding dress. I will absolutely be coming back for all my alternations.

    We need men's suit pants altered. She did a great job with a quick turnaround. We had 2 days before a funeral and she had it done in time.

    Marcela is extremely professional and was willing to add a last minute bustle with less than a week turnaround time. Very impressed.

    If I could give 10 stars, I would!…read more At Romance made our City Hall wedding photoshoot truly magical. We flew in from New York, and planning from across the country could have been stressful -- but May made everything feel effortless. She was so organized and responsive, and during our consultation she completely understood my vision of feeling like a princess with a gown and veil that would flow beautifully down the staircase while still flattering my petite frame. The second dress she pulled was the one, and I instantly felt stunning. Highly recommend also reserving San Francisco City Hall for two hours on a Saturday if you can to avoid the crowds and everyone else also taking pictures in the prime locations. At Romance's City Hall package covered absolutely everything: dress, veil, tiara, professional makeup, and two photographers -- all at an incredible price. Not having to coordinate multiple vendors was such a relief. The photographers reached out ahead of time to go over details and on the day of made us feel completely comfortable, guiding us through poses and capturing breathtaking shots on the grand staircase. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, romantic, and unforgettable. I would 100% recommend At Romance to anyone wanting a true one-stop shop and a dream City Hall wedding experience.

Franny helped me during my visit and she was incredibly kind, patient, and made the entire process feel so easy and stress-free. May, the owner, was so welcoming and truly made me feel valued and excited throughout my appointment. I also said yes to the dress on the very same street where my fiancé and I first met, which made the moment even more special and meaningful. The dress rental includes alterations and a veil, which was such a huge plus, and the return process is super convenient with a 4-day window. This place is professional, kind, and exceeded all of my expectations. I'm beyond excited to continue this journey with them and highly recommend them to any bride-to-be!

She was so friendly and so much more interactive than the "chain" bridal shop I had been to. I had shown her a few photos of different dresses I liked and explained exactly what I did not want. She came back with 4 dresses and the very first one I tried I absolutely loved! I did try on all her options she presented and I had seen a dress I inquired about but she advised it was out of my budget. She didn't push that dress and we did end up trying it on for fun but she was transparent the price couldn't go down so I appreciate that she was honest and not a pushy saleswoman. Turns out the very first dress I tried on this appointment was the dress I ended up picking. She nailed it from the first dress. The dress needed some adjustment as it was completely see through on the waist and she showed us options to line it with a nice fabric so my skin wouldn't be exposed. I felt so comfortable knowing we can fix the dress and adjust how we wanted with very little pushback. She offered her expertise and knowledge on how to fix the dress the best way. My alteration appointment was very straight to the point and the tailor had a lot of experience. My dress did need some second alterations as there was some corset type material poking into my skin causing discomfort and she was very nice about how to make the dress more comfortable When it was time to pick up my dress Georgette was so great with helping my mom understand the bustle process and was very thorough and kind. She provided so many helpful tips and really cared about the interaction. She didn't rush us out Great experience! Great staff! And great dress selections!

She is extremely knowledgeable which is evident of her 30+ years of experience working in bridal, as well as supportive, encouraging, and so sweet. Thank you to this amazing shop for helping me choose the perfect dress for me!

    I am in LOVE with both my dress and the experience I had at Bo Lee!!…read more I was recommended Bo Lee by a friend who knew of them when they were located in Sunnyvale; they're now located in Campbell. Parking is super easy; for my Sunday 3:00 PM appointment, the street parking spots were empty and the nearby parking garage had tons of space. Entrance is a little bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but they put a sign above their entrance, and directions are easy to follow to their front door (store is located on the second floor). My absolute love of this place includes: - the space is huge!! I had a dual fitting with my friend, but we weren't bumping into each other or in each other's pictures or anything at all. I saw that there was another person doing a fitting, but she was practically on the other side of the building, so we weren't encroaching in each other's space. - the dual fitting was a special request, and Jackie made sure to put us in rooms next to each other, which made the process that much more seamless - kitchen: one of my girls set up camp and poured us our teas, mimosas, and champagne in the Bo Lee kitchen. Also a beautiful space! - natural lighting: big and tall windows plus second floor venue equals viewing yourself in true colors instead of only bulb-lighting. The dresses I tried on were beautiful, but in the natural light, I could see how dynamic they were as well! Subtle sparkles, sheer tulle... it all came out differently in the natural light. - stylist chooses the dresses based on conversations and preference. Jackie, my stylist, knew the entire inventory. I just described what I thought I wanted, and she delivered!! I was relieved that I didn't have to go through dress after dress on the floor and hum and haw about whether I wanted to try it on or not. (Some people might not like this, but I feel like I had a curated try-on collection from an expert who saw the bigger picture.) - I also love how Jackie had me try on a dress I didn't think was the style I wanted, and she dotted her Is and crossed her Ts so I could for sure say with confidence that that particular dress style was a "no" from me. - both Jackie and Bo Lee took my measurements to make sure there wasn't an error, and it's the little things like that that make you feel confident in choosing them as your bridal boutique. I'm happy, I saw and tried on so many styles, and I had such a fun time! I also went under-budget for what I wanted for my dress, which is a win!

    Wedding dress shopping is a very vulnerable experience. It's your self esteem on full display and…read moreyour experience is very dependent on the stylist. Unfortunately for me, I did not get the experience I was hoping for and did not feel like my stylist was able to interpret my vision. This was my 4th time trying on dresses. I previously went to Kleinfeld NYC, Anthropologie Palo Alto, and Kinsley Couture Walnut Creek. I had wonderful experiences at my previous appointments. I decided to come here because one of my friends had recommended them. My budget was $5k so I had a flexible price range. My stylist didn't really explain to me their process at this store so I was a bit confused. I knew it was a one hour time limit and the estimated dresses to try on was 5, but I didn't know it was a hard limit. She ended my appt early at 45 minutes. Had I known I could only try on 5 dresses exactly, it would have been nice if she was transparent about that so I could at least maybe select the dresses I gravitated toward out of her selection. I felt like I was giving feedback after each dress, but kept getting another variation of what I didn't like. The first dress I tried was probably the best out of 5, but from there we kept getting further and further away from what I wanted. There were some dresses I put on and wasn't comfortable to walk out on the podium, but she never asked me if I wanted to show my guests or not. She would just immediately open the curtains and I just felt very exposed and not handled with care. It just didn't feel like a hospitable environment for me or my 3 guests. We were never even offered water. I'm hoping my experience was an outlier and I wish all the brides coming here success in their bridal journey.
