I had my first consultation with Raffaella of Solotu Custom Gowns in St. James a little over a year…read morebefore my wedding with an image of a gown that I was looking to recreate. I agreed to her high price point as I was lead to believe that the gowns were custom made by Raffaella in house alongside her "team". After months of poor communication and even spans of complete lack of communication for consecutive months unless initiated by me or my mom, I began to worry as my wedding day was approaching and there was still no evidence that a dress even existed, despite being told that it was in production. A month out from my wedding and still no dress, I began to panic and we reached out demanding answers on when the dress would finally be completed. It was then that she admitted that the "team" that she was referring to was actually a manufacturer in Asia where she apparently outsources her gown production to. At this point, she provided pictures of a dress somewhere on another continent that was nowhere close to being completed. She had to have the dress rushed to completion in order to have it arrive in her studio with just under a month until my wedding day. I could never fully appreciate the dress because the whole situation made me so upset. I felt robbed of that beautiful moment of trying on my dress for the first time in front of my mom and being in awe together. The manufacturers in Asia did a fine job considering their time crunch, but the bustle and finger loop that she attached herself during alterations both snapped off within 2 hours of wearing the dress. She recently reached out asking for pictures of my dress so that she could promote it for her business. I kindly explained that my experience was not one that I was comfortable with encouraging to other brides. She responded with by far the most unprofessional, rude, and out of touch text that completely lacked accountability for her shortcomings and misleadings, while still encouraging me to send her pictures. This review only exists because its become clear to me that she has not taken this experience as an opportunity to learn and grow as a business, and I would feel awful knowing that another woman would spend her time, emotional energy, and money only to be met with an unbelievably stressful situation.

At the time my daughter-in-law needed to get…read moreher dress done in a shorter than usual amount of time and the ladies at the salon totally stepped up to the challenge. The salon is for custom designed dresses , not off the rack alterations . The ladies worked with my daughter-in-law , who had purchased the silk and lace in the bridal district in NYC , to customize the dress she specifically had in mind . Every detail was thought out, every adjustment with every bit of lace used , it was truly an amazing custom made creation. The ladies treated us like family as we went through the process . This salon is truly a gem .

I recently had the pleasure of doing business with Joe at Lake Shore Formals for my June wedding…read more Since we were arranging everything from Los Angeles and our groomsmen were scattered all over the country, the only day they could come in to get fitted was the day before the wedding. This was especially daunting since we chose a non-traditional suit combo (Perry Ellis Navy Blazer, Tan Pants) that they just began offering. I was appreciative that Joe was up for the challenge. He took me through the process and explained the importance of having the guys provide the most accurate measurements possible, so we wouldn't have to worry about a potential disaster when they eventually came in. And since I never got to see the swatches for the tie/pocket squares in person, he took the time to hold the up to the blazer, etc over the phone. Everything turned out looking better than I imagined.

Horrendous! The older man who works there was as rude as could be, made me late for my sister's…read morewedding with his own ineptitude, and was about as nasty as can be. First. I arrive and the tux doesn't fit. So, I tell him I am going to run back to the hotel and get ready while he makes the alterations. I get back (missing the groom's pictures at this point) and in the confusion I forgot my wallet. I told him that I would call him in ten minutes with the credit card number. He tells me that I must pay for it before leaving and suggests taking off the tux, going back to the hotel and coming back to the shop a third time! Insanity! He makes me call my 8 months pregnant wife to leave the bridesmaids to go up to the hotel room to get my credit card number. The best part after I give him the credit card number, he won't run it telling me that I need to "caaaaaalm dooooowwn..." in a little sing sing patronizing voice. Frustrated, I walked out telling him that I am not going to play his game. He follows me outside and proceeds to write down my license plate as some kind of pseudo-threat. As if the police were going to drag me out of the church for theft of service? Imbecile. This jerk single handedly through his poor execution and embarassing customer service saw that I would be excluded from all of my sister's wedding photo shoot. Thanks a bunch! Additionally, when sharing this story with the groomsmen, they all had similar run-ins with the guy. They also told me a story about how they witnessed him purposely not unlock the door at 11:58 while he puttered around the shop as another wedding party stood waiting outside. The place is right next door to a Chinese food restaurant so we had the pleasure of having our tuxes smell like roast pork egg rolls and Peking duck. My advice: If you want a rude, nasty, unhelpful and disrespectful person to perhaps anger you on a very importnant day, then this is the place for you. (Also, take note of their hours. They are very rarely open. I'm not sure if the place is a part time job for the owners, but for anyone who, you know... works, the hours are very troublesome.)

I was told they checked and they were good to be picked up then. Fast forward to today, I get to Caroline's a little after 930, imagine my surprise when the woman behidn the counter tells me not only are the baskets not ready, they won't be ready for at least 2 hours. This isn't what upset me, listen I understand that things happen. What is insanely unprofessional is the fact that I arrived at my office about 7 minutes from Caroline's and she is on the phone with my coworker saying the baskets are ready. I was not told to wait for them, I was told they would need TWO MORE HOURS. I had to spend most of my day running around in circles back and forth when all of this could have been avoided if she asked me to wait 10 more minutes. I am extremely unhappy with the service and unfortunately I don't think I'll be choosing Caroline's anymore.
