Michelle did an amazing job altering both my wedding dress and back up change dress. While it took three fittings, I really appreciated her thoroughness and making sure it was altered perfectly to my liking. Her deep years of experience also really helped coach and guide me through what can typically be a stressful process. She came through on everything she promised and went over and beyond to make me satisfied as a customer. She was very easy to work with, super sweet, personable and caring, very accommodating and flexible, all the things that made the dress altering process very nice and memorable. I highly recommend her for bridal services. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this bridal boutique! From start to finish, Michelle (the owner) went above and beyond to make my wedding vision come to life. She did a fabulous job redesigning my wedding dress, transforming it into exactly what I had dreamed of. She knew exactly what veil to try and it was perfect and absolutely gorgeous with the dress. Her attention to detail, creativity, and craftsmanship were truly exceptional. Every fitting was a positive experience, and she made me feel confident and beautiful every step of the way. In addition to my dress, she handled the ordering of all our wedding party attire with professionalism and care. Everything arrived on time, fit beautifully, and looked amazing on the big day. Her organization, communication, and customer service made the entire process stress-free. If you're looking for a bridal boutique that genuinely cares about its brides and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend them. Thank you for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect! read more

Michelle is absolutely THE BEST! I got my wedding dress from another bridal store and they measured me too small, the straps too long, there were no bustles, and I needed at least 3 inches of hemming to be taken off (and it was a lace dress)...What a nightmare! But by going through Michelle, she literally saved my dress and my stress! She can literally work magic! My dress now perfectly fits, and ended up being a HUGE talk during my wedding day even up till now--2 weeks later!!! Everyone in my family and my husband's family keeps raving over how beautiful and perfect my dress is and I fell even more in love with it after she helped me fix everything! Michelle is a life saver and her prices are very affordable and budget-friendly. She's absolutely amazing at what she does! read more

She was such an amazing person! Made room for me and my bridal party without an appointment (only because i didn't know to call to make one) .. God knew I was in the right place! Her appointment didn't show up so I had extra time to try on dresses. And I truly appreciated her hospitality and honesty while trying to make the toughest decision a woman can have and that was between 2 dresses. Once she mentioned that she can add and alter the dress to my vision she made my decision 10x easier! I SAID YES TO THE DRESS! Thank you so much for your help! read more

Marchele's Bridal Boutique - Prom ideas - Bridal Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Planning a full day of dress shopping in the future, I called and left a message asking if I would need an appt to view options. They later called me back but left no msg (I was unavailable and could not answer). A few days later, we went in on the weekend during posted business hours and immediately were told we would not be seen that day, as we had no appointment. We were also told we would need an appointment everywhere in town since it was the weekend. I did not feel welcome upon visiting and the brief interaction was somewhat off-putting. We did not go back, and actually found a dress elsewhere same-day. Maybe they just needed more help? Maybe you'll have a better experience. read more

Michelle at Marchele's Bridal Boutique & Formal Wear was wonderful to work with. After searching all over Reno and trying countless dresses online, I still hadn't found the right dress to wear to my daughter's formal wedding. Fortunately, Michelle had an excellent selection of mother-of-the bride gowns and helped me find one that was absolutely perfect. In addition to my gown, we also rented tuxedos for the father of the bride and groomsmen. Michelle made the entire process easy, especially when coordinating with our out of town groomsman. Just days before the wedding, the groom received the custom tuxedo he had made in India, only to discover it was missing a cummerbund. Michelle saved the day by getting one for him at the last minute. I highly recommend Marchelle's for bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, mother-of-the-bride gowns, and tuxedos. Michelle is a joy to work with and will go above and beyond for her customer! read more

I felt so beautiful everytime I would do my fittings she asked me exactly what I wanted... My fiancé and all his men rented their suits from her and she did amazing with them as well. I HIGHLY recommend you stop in and see her you will not be disappointed. Thank you MICHELLE for making mine and Marshall's wedding attire everything we always dreamed of! read more

We first discovered Marchele's when my sister was engaged. We had already been to multiple bridal stires that just didn't have what we were looking for or that were willing to work with our modesty requests. Michelle never once made her feel self conscious or bad about her style and requests and pulled everything off PERFECTLY. When I got engaged that was a priority place for us. And sure enough, it was the same story for me at other bridal shops as my sister until we decided to look at Marchele's again. She made everything a dream. She even changed the neckline of my dress because I wasn't crazy about it. Now my cousin is getting married and lives in CA but came all the way here for her dress! And my cousins friend had a dress fiasco and now is coming here. No doubt this is my number 1 recommendation for a bridal store!! read more

My wife needed a dress alteration and we were on a tight timeline in advance of an Oktoberfest party. The team at Marchele's were fantastic!! They turned the alterations around quickly well within our timeframe and their work was top notch! They have earned a customer for life and we will go here for any future alteration needs. I highly recommend their shop!!!! read more

Michelle is very good at what she does. After looking at photos of dresses I liked, she found the dress within minutes. I was so happy with the style, her alterations, and the quality. It was just beautiful. Michelle helped me through every step of the way. She is very nice and talented. Highly recommend. read more

Great experience! From start to finish their attention to detail and the needs of my daughter were Amazing! The dress is beautiful! The alterations were perfect! She looks like a princess! This is not just a Bridal Boutique. This is an experience, by appointment only, and there's a reason for that they cater to the bride and take take such good care to her special needs and desires for her special day. The videos they sent us were amazing and the actual location is fantastic. You would never guess from looking at the outside. What is inside! It's like walking into something you've never seen before. Thank you so much. Sue Anderson Bride: Bailey Anderson read more

I purchased my wedding dress here and they had to take it in so we waited until they called when it was ready and never got the call. Went in with my receipt two months later and they said they sold it. I was devastated. Was never able to find that dress again. read more

Tried to not travel to find my bridesmaids dresses. I called and the dress I wanted needed to be ordered for my girls to try them on. I called several times to check the status of the order. She said it still wasn't there after 3 months. She told me she would call me the next day after calling the company again. She never did. This was the manager of the store. I still have not gotten a call from her. I have since had to travel but all my girls have gotten their dresses. It seems so weird to me that someone who wants business does not actually conduct the business. Unfortunately, I would not recommend. I am so grateful I didn't get my wedding dress here. read more

I needed to rent a tuxedo on very short notice. Marchele's was able to get it done over night. Michelle was super helpful and friendly both in ordering and in quickly getting ithe tux fitted during puck up. I absolutely recommend this localy owned business! read more

I had a fantastic experience here. It was 2 weeks before my wedding and the dress I bought out of state came to me altered wrong. I called Marchele's and they got right to work on my dress. Not only were the problems fixed, but my dress looked better than before! They also opened the back and added more lace (The proof is in the photo!) During my fittings at my previous alterations place the dress just didn't fit right, but after going to Marchele's it felt like MY dress. I will forever recommend them! If you want to feel like a beautiful bride, please bring your business here! They will go above and beyond to make you look and feel your best! read more

Marchele's Bridal Boutique - Bridal Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Mona is the best!!! She is absolutely everything you want and need when deciding what dress for your big day. She made me feel so beautiful and gave me time to shop dresses. She's was fun with my bride tribe and just overall such a wonderful experience. They have beautiful dresses in all styles and Mona knew what additions to add to the dress to make it special. They also had prom dresses too. This place might not have all the glitz and glam that other places have but it does have heart and they actually care. I would take that over all the fake fluff any day!! read more

My wedding on Sept 27 2020 was absolutely amazing! All of my guests commented on my gown and thought it was the most beautiful dress that they had ever seen! I cannot thank them enough for helping me find my dress and getting it altered to match who I am!!! read more

I procrastinated in finding the perfect dress for my destination wedding. We shopped around a little in Reno and I was feeling disappointed. I began to wonder if finding a dress in time was even realistic. We came into Marchele's and just wow! They made me feel so welcome, I wasn't pressured and they respected my budget. Mona jumped right in, gave suggestions and she was absolutely right. I was very timid, nervous and uneasy at first. By the end we laughed, I felt beautiful and confident and got the perfect dress at an amazing price. read more

Marchele's bridal exceeded my expectations for my big day! They were so thoughtful about every detail from the dress selection to my alterations. I NEVER felt rushed or pushed into something that I didn't want, which I greatly appreciated given other bridal shops that I had visited. I loved that they are family owned and have been in town for years, as I purchased a bridesmaids dress and had it altered about 15 years ago. I am so thankful that I returned to them for my wedding dress all these years later. I felt CONFIDENT, COMFORTABLE and BEAUTIFUL on my wedding day because of them. Thank you so much I wouldn't waste your time running around to other bridal shops, go to Marcheles and you will be wowed by the service, selection and pricing. read more

I walked in randomly without an appointment and they still helped me out, they let me try on dresses. They helped look for the best fit. Two great lady's with really good attitudes and a great sense of humor. Walked out with a beautiful wedding dresses and the best price posible read more

I love this place, recently went with my friend and both ladies were so helpful, the older lady helping us was so patient and did not rush us, she knew what would fit my friends body type, we went on a lower budget and time crunch and my friend does not speak any English so I was translating but they were so pleasant about it, you would think bcuz you are on a budget and having a language barrier they would discriminate you but that was not at all the case. We had previously got to David's bridal but the experience hwas better here. Definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Marchele's Bridal Boutique - Adding sleeves to her dress, this was the lovely lady. - Bridal Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I LOVE MICHELLE, she was absolutely amazing and saved my wedding dress. I originally purchased my dress at Swoon and although I was in love with it, alterations were OUT OF THIS CENTURY. They wanted to charge my $1000 for just hemming my dress I'm sorry, I'm not Kim K that can afford that. So I went to Marcheles because my MOH had purchased her dress here and Michelle did an amazing job in altering her dress. She helped me look for a sleeve to wear with my dress so it can be Church appropriate and she did an amazing job in hemming my dress for half the cost. Michelle is such a doll. She saved my wedding read more

Mona is amazing!! Talk about Customer service. She helped my friend put her dream dress together so I brought my other friend in to try on dresses and she wowed us again! She is just so accommodating I wish there were more Mona's in this world. Other dress shops in town have a way of making the brides feel worse then they went in with. Wether it's the size or dress style every bride has the right to feel sexy and beautiful. Marchele's is thee place I would recommend over and over! read more

She did a good job when going through the process it seems like the staff there is all over the place but the team was successful even with a break in and dealing with COVID read more

Wow Kira - your review is completely shocking to me! I got my wedding dress from Marchele's and it was beautiful and beautifully priced as well! They have been a local favorite in town for 30 years. I just went gown shopping with my friend yesterday and was sad because I thought Marchele's closed - but we found them in the Reno Town Mall and my friend was thrilled! They are so super friendly and helpful. The dresses were as beautiful as always, and still decently priced (comparable to the prices at David's - but much better quality). Plus - they treat you like family because they are local. Not like the corporate, Target-feeling chain of David's Bridal. I have known literally tons of gals who have shopped at Marchele's throughout the years, and they have always been happy with the results. Go local! Thanks Marchele for taking care of us Renoites so well for so long!!!! read more

Bought a dress for myself and my girlfriend here for a wedding we were in. The shop had decent variety they were friendly and helped me color match David's Bridal! The alterations were done at a fair price and the dresses fit perfectly. They remembered us every time we would go in for fittings or to make a payment. Truly wonderful customer service and quality items! Also a great shop for bigger girls she was able to get a dress to fit me, something other shops had a hard time with. read more

The customer service was excellent. Mona knew exactly what I was looking for with just the few pieces of information I gave her. She felt more like a friend than a salesperson and that means a lot in this crazy wedding planning experience! They also have a great selection for EVERY budget. read more

I have known these women since I was born!!! My family have been shopping here since before that!!! Everyone who goes there is treated like family. I have gotten my prom dresses, my bridesmaids dresses, and my military ball gowns from Marchele's. And when I get married I will get my wedding gown, bride's maids dresses, and even the tuxs from Marchel's. You can also get specially dyed shoes to match your dresses. They alter your gowns if they do not fit you correctly. This is the BEST place in the Reno/Sparks area to get dresses and gowns!!! Victoria Koontz read more

I previously gave Marchele's a really good review because I had a great experience finding a dress back in October. This review has since changed and the only reason I'm not giving a 1 star is because Mona was really nice to us. I was told the dress I chose would only take 3-4 months and would be in by the end of January. A week after ordering my dress, I got a voice mail from Marchele's asking if I decided on a dress and wanted to order one... I was confused because I had already placed the order just days before. That was the first thing I found unprofessional. Like they already forgot who I am and that I ordered? At the very end of January, I called Marcheles to check on the status and was told "it will be here soon, any day now". Then after waiting until end of February, we decided to go into the store to check in person and were told the shipping date was feb 21 so should be in any time. I was also told that I would get a call on Monday (it was Saturday when we went in) so they could call to get the shipping info. Side note, there were notes and papers scattered everywhere. They finally found my order in a mess of papers. Monday rolled around and I didnt receive a call. 2 weeks later I still hadn't received a call so I had to call them and ask where the hell the dress was. Got a call back right away to let me know it was in. Made me think though... did it happen to just get in that day? If so, what a coincidence. If not, why didn't I receive a call earlier? With all that said and done, I was at least feeling relief that my dress was in. I went to pick it up 5 days later on a weekend and they put my dress into what looked like a white trash bag. It was technically a garment bag but was plastic thinner than a trash bag material. I asked why there wasn't an actual garment bag for my DESIGNER wedding dress and they said they were out of stock. Is it just me or is it completely horrible customer service for a wedding gown shop to put your designer dress into the crappiest trash bag garment bag around, not to mention it wasn't even long enough for a dress. They had to stuff my dress up at the bottom and tie the bag. How are you out of stock of garment bags when this is literally the only thing you sell.... dresses. You get nicer garment bags at Kohl's when you buy a dress lol I cancelled my alterations appointment because I've been so disappointed in this store. Also, after trying on my dress at home, it was at least 1-2 sizes bigger than the size I had ordered. (I did not lose weight since buying the dress). I ended up going to Swoon to see if they could recommend a person who could alter my dress and they did. And so far that person has been great. I will end up leaving them a review once things are said and done. I would not recommend Marchele's. The lack of customer service is just crazy. read more

Wonderful experience!! As soon as I walked in we were greeted with smiles. She asked me what I was looking for in a dress and my budget. Once I told her she took off and found great possible dresses. She could read my facial expressions and never made me feel pressured. Her excitement was genuine and made me feel relaxed and free to voice my opinion. I ended up finding my dress and it was everything I could dream of! Sheet back and trumpet style fit! The shop looks a little dated but the dresses are very modern day bride! After being disappointed at Davids Bridal's service, it was a relief to see such charismatic people. Love love LOVE!! Didn't need an appointment and I didn't have to pass my small budget! read more

Absolutely 100% made my bridal shopping experience beyond amazing!! Such nice people and and they make you feel like they are apart of your family! Not to overly priced as far as wedding store goes. I love every bit of my experience here and highly recommend coming here for your bridal shopping as well! Can't thank them enough for everything! My aunt and I absolutely adored every moment they shared with us. We would give them 100 stars if we could read more

I cannot gush about this store and the owner enough. The dress was gorgeous on the hanger, and then when I went for my first dress fitting I hated how I looked in it. The dress was glorious, but I was so frazzled with wedding planning, that I could not accept I looked like that in the dress I chose and was feeling overwhelmed. Instead of simply sending me on my way as this was the dress I chose and purchased, Michelle sat down with me and talked about what options were available to me this close to the wedding and then she coordinated a slew of alterations to the dress in one day to make me happy. I cannot thank her enough for her support and the beautiful work she did to the dress in order to make me feel more comfortable and beautiful in it. Any bride can attest, it doesn't matter how you look in it, but how you feel you look in it, and despite the self-doubt, I am so happy with the outcome for the dress. In fact, looking at our wedding photos, I am more certain than ever that I chose the right dress shop. read more

I have been looking for dresses the past few weeks, and this was one of my stops because they said they carry the designers i was interested in. First, the lady's were nice, but looked less than professional. I thought they were just random people off the street, until I realised that they were the employees or owners. I didn't see any dresses that I was looking for. They looked a lot older and not from current lies. The bridesmaids dress we're pretty bad too. There was one I liked but that was it. They did have a lot of cute flower girl dresses. My niece was very happy to try them on. Not my cup of tea, but at least they are nice. I think there are better places to go who carry the same designers, and have a little more professionalism. read more

Marchele's is a wonderful boutique that has been around for decades. I bought beautiful prom dresses here when I was in high school...Don't just look at what's on the front rack, there are some beautiful gems that the staff can pull out for you that you wouldn't even know were there! Marchele's has incredible service, unpretentious, very down to earth, and some very beautiful, reasonably priced dresses. You will be surprised at what you can find here. Definitely a major contender to visit when shopping for a wedding gown. And they're local! read more

Originally told 20ish $ for altercations got there it was 30$ then some how went up to 50$ this is worse then buying a car there scam artist for sure everyone of are brides maids had same experience will go to a more honest place next time horrible experience read more

They seemed to do a good job getting me a wedding dress and getting it altered in a last-minute type of setting. But then it took 13 months to get the wedding dress back after bringing it in the day after the wedding for cleaning and preservation. And then I was even more shocked when I came to pick it up and told it'll be $200. I don't know, I want to support small business, but it's getting hard to find ones that can simply perform their obligations with excellence and charge what their service is worth. read more

The ladies here are very nice and helpful but unfortunately, their dress selection leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, they are affordable but there are so many dresses all smooshed together that it gets overwhelming. The dresses all have a generic, outdated style to them. There was really nothing unique about any one of the hundreds of dresses there. The general quality of dresses were low as well. Overall: good service but poor merchandise quality. read more
