I went to countless bridal stores in Manhattan and could not find anything that was right for me. I…read morecame into Exclusive Bridal and tried on so many beautiful gowns. Most importantly I finally found my dress. It is a beautiful dress, but that is not why I am writing this review. I am writing it because Jack and Margaret were the BEST. They were willing and able to tailor my dress exactly how I wanted. I basically felt like my dress was handmade for me. Each time I came in with a new request I was greeted with a smile. They made me feel comfortable and beautiful-what every bride wants to feel. They made the entire experience a breeze. I could not recommend this bridal shoppe enough. They go above and beyond to make you happy-and don't stop until it is perfect.

I found this place on a whim while completing other errands in the area. I stopped in to find a bridesmaid gown for my best friend's wedding. All I had for stipulations were a color and a designer. As soon as I stepped in; I was greeted by a young woman who was friendly, eager and willing to bend over backwards (and did!) to assist me in finding the perfect gown. With just the little information I offered, she rushed upstairs and pulled a dozen different gowns she thought would look best. Great taste! I selected a handful of them from her selections to try on. She was right there to offer assistance putting on/taking off each and every gown to ensure that I felt comfortable and "fit" into each one. Her and her uncle (who owns the place) gave me unbelievable one-on-one attention and were honest and complimentary without being pushy in any way. I was able to let my guard down, enjoy my experience and weigh all of my options with no pressure! I never see this in a bridal salon. I have always felt like they're pressing a sale! I was even split between two gowns and the girl and the owner suggested I take photos, show them to the bride, go home and sleep on it and call them back when I was ready to order. She took my photo (front and back in both dresses for me!) I'm not living in the area, but they measured me and took my information just in case I called back, so that they could order as soon as I was ready to go! They told me I wouldn't have to make the trip back down. I am calling on Monday to order my dress (now that the bride and my fiancé favored the same one of the two final gown contenders as me!) and I am so excited to be giving my business to a deserving and wonderful family! Highly HIGHLY recommend.

The shop is really cute and I found the selection of dresses to be great/adorable. However, the stylist/shop owner was super low energy and made my mom and me feel like we were a bother (lol).

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!!

It's basically a self-serve shop. You stand there go through all of the dresses, bring them into a very tiny dressing room, and try them on by yourself.

After making appointments with two well known bridal shops in NYC, I learned about Rebecca's designs and knew I had to try them on. As a plus sized bride, I had a lot of apprehension about stores not having options that would work for my body. But every dress in her collection comes in size 00-30! When I arrived for my appointment, I was in excellent hands with experienced design consultants Rose and Ellen. They were so patient and fun guiding me through trying on a bunch of different dresses - including several mix and match options! I was surprised by the dress I ended up falling in love with (the Shannon gown) but I felt so beautiful in it and Rose and Ellen really went above and beyond. I also just want to shout out the location - if you're located in NYC, you can take the Metro North straight there, and I mean literally straight to the studio. When you get off the train (45 min ride), it's a short walk through a super cute former industrial area that's now all restaurants and little shops, and the studio is right on the Hudson. Make an afternoon of it! Thank you Rebecca Schoneveld for your amazing designs, I can't wait to come back for my fitting!!

Quick note: the name of the bridal shop on Yelp is incorrect. It's now Virginia's Bridal…read more I had a great bridal dress shopping experience at Virginia's Bridal. My mom, grandma, mother-in-law, and 2 bridemaids came with me to help find my dress and I'm happy to share that I said "Yes to the Dress". The overall experience was seamless from making my appointment on the phone with Virginia to the receiving a follow-up call and email to ensure that everything was ready for me ahead of my appointment from my Bridal Consultant Lou Lou, who is AMAZING! I was welcomed immediately and made to feel appreciated and taken care from the moment I entered the door. I live a few blocks away from the bridal shop and always walk by it on my way to City Centre so when I got engaged this summer, I obviously wanted to ensure that I had an appointment set up here, especially knowing that I always had seen beautiful dresses on display on their window. I also liked what I had seen on their website. I was treated like a princess and felt like one when trying on my dresses. There is a wide assortment of dresses and designers across price ranges as this place was a lot bigger than I thought once inside. From the start I had a Calla Blanche dress in mind and low and behold, the first dress I tried on and chose was a Calla Blanche, although different than the one I had seen online. I maybe tried on 8 dresses or so and Lou Lou helped me narrow down my options via process of elimination. I explained to her the style I was looking for, budget, and she made sure we had a great assortment of dresses to try on and have fun with. By the time it came to choosing my dress, I may have tried it on 3 times and loved it more each time. (Even got a bit emotional so I knew it was the one). Funny enough it wasn't even the style I thought I had in mind, which is why you must try these on! My family and friends were made to feel very comfortable and welcomed also which I appreciated. The space is comfortable and clean inside. There was one other bride also trying on dresses at the same time but she was on the other side of me and did not interfere with my experience so no concerns there. I had a lot of fun. I had a nice dressing room and Lou Lou there to help with each dress and the clips + got to see my dress at all stages of the day with the mirror that changes lighting. It was pretty neat. Lou Lou was the ultimate hype woman and got my family & friends engaged in the process too - she announced me each time, had the music going, it was fun. I had a feeling I would find my dress here and am happy to say that I did. The only thing that stings a bit is that I went wayyyyy over budget with the dress and the "looks". The dress itself was within budget but I was upsold on an additional piece that really did make the dress and look extra "WOW" but I maybe could have done without. I can also blame my family and friends for their reactions, they loved it. So I'm not too upset about it and am excited to walk down the aisle in it and hope my fiancé also goes "WOW" :). I can't wait to try on my dress in a few months. For those brides purchasing kindly note the sale price is final so be 100% sure and alteration price is not included. Thank you again Virginia Bridal Team and Lou Lou! I can't wait for May 2024! I definitely recommend for brides to be! Happy shopping!
