    This was probably the 4th or 5th bridal salon I visited on my search for a wedding dress. I really loved and appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and the help that Darlin gave us. She was actually the one that showed/found us the dress I ended up getting! The seamstress was able to add the perfect sleeves and bow to my dress, exactly what I envisioned. They even helped me out with a last minute hiccup with the dress zipper. I felt so beautiful in my dress and cannot thank them enough!

    I had a 5 star experience with Farah! My mom and I were the only ones in the shop and we had her undivided attention. She listened to what I described as my dream dress and pulled multiple options for me to try. She even encouraged me to try on dresses I was on the fence about to put my mind at ease and rule them out. Trying on dresses I was unsure of helped me recognize my dream dress when I put it on. They didn't have my size but Farah helped me to see what it will look like. I ordered my dress in my size with her last week and I just got the call that it's in!! Takeaways: Farah is amazing, there's a lot to select from, my dress came in in only a week, the shop is clean and beautiful, I didn't feel rushed, I felt very special.

    You guys. You all need to come here!!!! Story time!!~ My fiancé found this bridal shop from their sample sale off the rack promo on Facebook and he nudged me to come check it out! On a whim I set up an appointment and walked into such a wonderful shop!!! They have a variety of dresses from all price points! They also offer after pay! My stylist Farah is a godsend!!! She was so incredibly kind and patient! She let me try on all the different types of wedding gowns I wanted! Never rushed or pressured me! She allowed me the safe space to go through the emotions and figure out what I liked and didn't like and we ran from there! The dress I ended up choosing was a teeny bit above my budget but honestly, I don't care, the dress of my dreams is worth it!! I am worth it! Highly highly recommended for you to make an appointment with Farah!! She'll take care of you overall so so happy with my experience and so so happy I gave A royal moment a chance!! Thank you again Farah!!

    This was my very first stop, first time, never been to a wedding dress boutique. I had an appointment 1/28/25 @1230 with 1 friend. I came in and I did not know what to expect from a wedding dress boutique. I don't recall the women's name, but she was not very enthusiastic to work there. I had told it this was my first time and I didn't know what to look for based on my body type. She asked what my budget was, and honestly, I never really placed a budget price, but from looking online and seeing some cost, I said $2000. Instead of explaining to me how I should pick my dressed, she just told me to look around and pick a couple. I picked 3, but was not done looking, she suggested I go try it one. Everything felt rushed and an unpleasant experience. I wanted to take photos of each dress as I tried it one. Once I got to the third dress, it was a corset that required ties, and I had asked the employee if there was a clip to hold the dress up. She said what are you trying to do. I said take a photo. She said the back!!!! I said no the front. So I turned around, she tugged on the dress and shook me tight roughly. My friend even said to me she's kind of mean. After I tried on the third dress, I had to get dressed to look at other dresses, which was quite annoying to put my own clothes back on to take the off again. I went into the section for ball gowns. Instead of letting me try any of them, she said oh no honey, these are priced $4-6000. My idea is, if a female ends up liking a dress she will buy it. But I guess not everyone thinks that way. I was super disappointed at my first wedding dress boutique.

    My receipt they forgot to give me! And also lied about the price and failed to tell me the policy before purchase.

    I have some mixed feelings with A Royal Moment. Gigi was helpful in getting me in and out of the dresses and she was funny. There weren't very many options to choose from and I kept getting turned away from other dresses. At the end I was stuck between two different dresses, but one was a more nude color and I loved the bottom half and the other dress was white and I loved the top half. And maybe it's my fault, but I thought that was it as far as my options. But at the same time a wedding dress shop expert should also be able to help pull some ideas for different options, or different colors (if that store even has that who knows ‍). So any way I ended up going with one of the dresses as hard as that was. The next thing was was that Gigi knew I wanted to be in the $2000 range, but then again no big deal. She asked me if I was going to say yes to the dress? And I said that all depends on the price. Well of course she said, "oh today we are having are sale on dresses" she told me the dress is "normally $2500 and it will be $1600 today!" Now that sounded amazing, but what she failed to do was to tell me that the dress is FINAL SALE and NO EXCHANGES... even if you haven't done anything to it. Less than 10 minutes after leaving the store she called my phone to let me know that she forgot to give me my receipt. Not only did I see in red what she FAILED to tell me as an IMPORTANT thing before any sale, but she also lied because it said the original price for the dress is $1900!

    I have been to a few bridal appointments and Gigi really made me feel comfortable. I appreciated her advice as to what complimented me. She is realky personable and you can tell she enjoys her job. TBH I wasn't expecting much from this as all my other appointments left me liking dresses but nothing I was in love with. She found me a dress that fit my body and made me feel pretty. I also got a great deal for my dress so a huge plus. I like that there is a unique selection so I felt that my dress was one of a kind and not anything cookie cutter. Thank you Gigi and Darlyn! I recommend this place.

    Walking into a royal moment felt like a fairy tale. The store had so many different options and a beautiful variety of wedding dresses. Farah took the time to get to know me and my likes and dislikes while she showed me around to the dresses of my liking. It was so nice to have a dress experience where I felt in control of picking things I liked. With no pressure to HAVING to buy something. Though I found my dream dress! Farah truly cared and helped show me options on how I can alter my dress. She took photos of me with my girls and made sure we stood in the perfect light. And showed me Different styles of European shoes the owner brought to show case. It was truly a wonder experience. Say yes to the dress at A Royal Moment. You won't be disappointed!

    This store was where I found my DREAM dress!! It couldn't have been more perfect for me. My wedding was this past Sunday 4-13-25. Farrah made me feel like a princess when I put on any dress, but especially this dress. It's well made, unique, and high quality but in a decent price range. All in all this store made dress shopping less stressful and more meaningful.

    There's so many positive things I have to say about A Royal Moment. I'm so appreciative of how kind, accommodating, and flexible this bridal shop was with helping me to find my dream dress. The service here really made me feel like I was royalty. I told them what I was looking for in a dress and it only took me 4 dress to try on before finding the one. They knew exactly my vision and what I wanted just be a few example pictures I showed and descriptions I included. Going into my dress shopping journey I was anxious that I would have to go way over my budget but they made things so much easier by allowing me the option to pay in payments. I'm really so appreciative of this shop. I had a great experience and definitely recommend giving them a visit to find the dress of your dreams.

    I found this shop via Yelp last year when starting my search for my wedding dress (an overwhelming process for anyone). I booked an appointment based on the great reviews and was not disappointed!! Darlyn and staff are wonderful to work with. I found my dream dress, and made custom alterations to it. They were timely in communication, and accommodating to squeeze me in for fittings due to my work schedule. The location is clean with a large selection of gowns! They allow you to bring in champagne if you want to pop some bubbly with your girls during your appointment. I also bought two flower girls dresses for my nieces here. They were so kind and patient while my nieces tried on EVERY youth dress in the shop! Most gowns have beading/lace. If this is the style you're interested in please make your appointment NOW!

    I had such a good experience with the team at A Royal Moment! They had a lot of different dresses to choose from. When I went to try dresses I told them I wasn't entirely sure exactly what I wanted but that I wanted to figure out what shape will look good on me and I gave them a general description of what I like. They spent over 2 hours with me and my group pulling dresses for me until I found my wedding dress! The day I bought my dress I also got to set up my first alterations appointment which was super helpful. The seamstress was super nice and super helpful. We had to cut off a decent amount of fabric from the bottom of my dress because I'm so short but they gave me my extra fabric to keep. They were also able to make the dress fit me perfectly (it originally was a little loose in the top area and I wanted to make sure I'd stay put all night). Overall I had a great experience with shopping and alterations. The whole team is super friendly and my dress was perfect! Including some pictures here too :)

Camille was truly the best - she took the time to get to know me, my family and bridal party that were with me, what I was looking for, what I had already tried on. Every step of the process she was so attentive and patient. The day of my appointment (after two back to back weekends of pretty underwhelming dress appts), I had tried on a few and liked a few aspects of the dresses pulled. The last dress of the day is when Camille pulled out THE ONE! At this point I decided to think about it as I was overthinking if this was truly the dress and she was so kind and understanding. I didn't feel pressured to purchase right then and there. I ended up booking the "The One" appointment for the following weekend and again, Camille, the staff, everything was perfect and I finally said yes to the dress! Lex helped me with measurements and ordering, answered all my questions, and made me feel confident moving forward with securing the dress.

I came into the salon with a list of dresses that I had previously viewed on their website, Lex pulled them right out for me and we got to work! She had also pulled some different designs just so I could see how I looked in them, which I did end up loving! At the end of my first visit, I fell in love with two different dresses. Again, it was also my first bridal salon that I had visited so far, so I was still planning on checking out other places. After telling Lex that I wanted to sleep on it/check out other places she was totally understanding and didn't "pressure" me like a lot of other places I've heard. I could not stop thinking about one of the dresses I tried on at my first fitting, so I made my follow up appointment (obviously with Lex) and boom! Wedding dress secured! BEST experience ever I wish I could do it all over again.

She was incredibly sweet and spoke to my daughter, Anyssa, in such a sincere and warm way that it immediately made her feel comfortable.

It was great, beautiful, whimsical, and I felt like a pretty princess... but it was my Maid of Honor who was there with me that brought another one of her dresses to my attention. Apparently there was a mishap between the trunk show dates being mixed up and BBC extended their trunk show weekend and I went back a second time to try on more HP dresses as well my original #1 choice and the second dress that stole my heart. Lo and behold!! I ended up choosing the one that my MOH picked off the rack and it was so me!! It was perfect!

Overall, this was not the experience I had hoped for from a bridal boutique of this caliber. ***** My wedding was over two hours away from the store, and waiting for your seamstress would have meant missing my ceremony. When paying a premium price, brides should not have to deal with last-minute issues like a dress strap coming apart minutes before walking down the aisle. Thankfully, one of my bridesmaids was able to sew the strap so I could still wear my dress. Regarding the veil, I specifically called after being notified it had arrived to explain that I had an alterations appointment and wanted to pick it up then, which your team confirmed. I later received communication referencing shipment, so I had to follow up again by phone and email to make sure it would not be shipped. Had it been sent out, I would not have had my veil for my wedding either. While I appreciate the refund for alterations, the overall experience was far more stressful than it should have been for such an important day. Future brides should be aware of the risks and added stress this location may bring leading up to their wedding.

    This was my fifth (and final) dress appointment because I said yes to the dress!…read moreI was so lucky to get Huong as my stylist/bridal consultant because she really was the BEST! We started off by browsing the store and picking a few dresses, and Huong also recommended a few as well based on my vision. My mom and sister had fun being able to go through the selection and suggest some dresses. I came in knowing I wanted to try on a specific dress and Huong made sure to find it for me! Throughout the whole process I felt so comfortable and supported by Huong. I just want to thank her for being so patient and kind to me. She helped me get in to each dress and never made me feel like I was a bother even though we tried on so many dresses! And she even saved the dress I came in to try on for last, just so that I could be sure that there wasn't something unexpected that I ended up liking. When I finally did try on the one, I felt so relieved that I finally found my dress! Also side note, this was actually a rescheduled appointment because I had a family emergency happen the day before my first appointment, but they were so kind, understanding, and even remembered it the day of my rescheduled appointment weeks later. That meant so much to me! I had a great experience dress shopping here and can't wait to receive my dress when it arrives later this year!

    The pros: Jaclyn's has a beautiful selection of dresses, and the atmosphere is very calm and…read moreelegant. The cons: I have to echo the sentiments of many other reviewers that we were barely greeted upon entering, to the point that they even seemed annoyed. The owner never introduced herself; she just sort of stared at us the whole time, in an uncomfortable way. Sharon was my consultant, and she was pleasant enough, but I also echo the sentiments that it's unusual for this place not to help you get your dress on, that you hang them back up yourself, and that it's just not on the same service level as the 4 other salons I visited. They don't offer water, tea, etc., nothing to drink, while all 4 other salons would offer water or a soda at a minimum. I had one other appointment earlier in the day, which I ultimately went back to to purchase my dress, despite Jaclyn's also carrying my dress. Jaclyn's price was $700 more for the exact same dress, but even if it had been the same price, I wouldn't have purchased from here based on the service. I get the feeling that the service would be better if you were walking in here with a very large budget. Just an underwhelming experience.

    I came here on a Tuesday with 2 of my friends to try on wedding dresses for my upcoming wedding. I…read morecalled Chia around 1:30p.m. and she gladly gave us an appointment for the same day at 4p.m. My friends and I went to Casablanca Bridal (which I definitely recommend! Linda was sucha sweetheart!) and came here after that appointment to try on more dresses. As we excitedly go up to the store, Chia greets us and I tell her when my wedding date is (Beginning of next October) and Chia says that it's too early to be looking for dresses and suggests us to look elsewhere like David's Bridal and such and try on dresses there, then come back when I know what I'm looking for. Chia then hands us her business card and we had to ask if we can still look at all the dresses and try them on, but after her rude dismissal, we just left since we felt unwanted there. The reviews here of her were splendid on Yelp; however, our experience was such a big disappointment and we decided to go to other bridal places. Definitely suggest going elsewhere :(

    I was actually referred to Chia by another seamstress who was not taking new clients at the time I…read morecalled her. Chia turned out to be wonderful and very skilled at her profession. Being a designer and dressmaker herself allows her to understand the intricate construction of wedding gowns. On my first meeting with Chia, I told her what changes I wanted to make to my dress and she also made her own suggestions, which I followed. After our consultation, she calculated everything and allowed me to make the decision of whether or not I wanted to proceed. I didn't feel pressured at all and found her prices to be pretty reasonable. I made an appointment with Chia to return in about one month for my first fitting. When I came back I expected my dress to be almost completed (Chia mentioned she usually does 2 or 3 fittings and then the final fitting) but I found out that Chia likes to work in stages on your dress. This allows her to make adjustments to your taste as she continues working without having to redo something or make corrections. The one change I made towards the end of the process was to make the neckline of my dress more sweetheart. I brought in photos as an example and she was able to make the alteration perfectly. These are the alterations Chia made for me: tightening the bust, adding bust cups, sweetheart neckline, shortening the length, tightening the dress under my booty (I had a fit and flare style) and adding a bustle. The resulting dress fit like a glove and I did not have to worry about adjusting my dress the whole day. Looking back, the only thing I would have changed was the thickness of the bust cups she added. I kept insisting to Chia I wanted to "enhance" my chest so she added the extra thick bust cups but I think it caused the bust to gap away from my chest a bit. It wasn't noticeable looking at me from the front but it was from the side (and consequently in some of our photos). However, I wouldn't fault Chia for this because I was persistent and she was trying to make me happy. I would highly recommend Chia because she is very detail oriented and takes pride in her work. Overall, I think I had 4 or 5 fittings total before I was able to bring my dress home (about 2 weeks before our wedding date). She is also quite accommodating to your schedule and was always able to see me in the evenings after work, around 6:00pm or 6:30pm. Tip: Each fitting lasts about 30-45 minutes and make sure to always bring the undergarments and shoes you'll wear on your wedding day.
