Going to Hanans for my alterations was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. To preface,…read moreI've had my dress for a couple of years and have lost a lot of weight since I originally purchased it. My dress is very intricate, it has 5 separate layers of fabric, beading, lace, appliqué, boning, you name it. I was incredibly nervous about finding a seamstress that would be able to make the needed alterations in 4 months, while keeping the integrity of the dress, and making sure it fit perfectly. I found Hanans through various reviews on Google, Yelp, and my favorite place to get the real reviews, Reddit. People love this woman. And I 1000% know why and couldn't agree more. I'd go to battle for this woman. I think I had around 11 appointments with her total? Which is absurd. She was able to work around my travel-heavy job, addressed every little concern or question I had, and gave me the most perfect dress that I could have ever hoped for. I could not be happier with the end result, we ended up going down quite a few sizes or so from the original and it still looks like the dress I bought, just one that's been custom fitted to me. She is well worth every single penny. GO TO HANANS.

She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and genuinely wanted me to find MY dress. She gave such good advice/insight without ever coming off as pushy. The selection of dresses was also wonderful. I wanted very modern (no lace) and they had all great selections within budget. We ended up finding my dream dress- and the ordering process was incredibly smooth. Payment split option was amazing. Overall, best experience I have had with bridal shops!!!! Could not recommend enough!!!! Thanks again, Naomi. You're amazing

I had the BEST experience EVER at Wedding Angels! Our consultant, Jordan, made the entire…read moreappointment feel so personal and special from the very beginning. She sat down with my group, got to know me, asked about my fiancé, our wedding, and what I was looking for in a dress. It truly felt like she cared about finding the perfect dress for me. From there, she started pulling dresses for me to try on, and she absolutely nailed every single one. She listened so well and somehow understood exactly what I wanted. I ended up finding the most PERFECT dress. Jordan went above and beyond to make dress shopping such a fun, meaningful, and memorable experience. Her and the staff made sure we had champagne, popped the bottle when I said yes, and even let me keep the cork as a sweet keepsake. I was already a huge fan of Wedding Angels after coming here before as a guest for another bride, so I can confidently say they are consistently the BEST. I couldn't recommend them more!

It was a great and stress free experience. You are provided an abundance of information so there are no surprises on prices, shipping times, return, etc. Make the appointment!!

As a bridal stylist, one of my services includes helping brides narrow down the perfect salon based on their price range, what they are looking for, and their overall vision. I chose Belfiore because I have known them to be a reputable and well-respected salon since being in the industry, and this experience definitely reaffirmed that. I have even had the pleasure of working with the owner at a few bridal shows, so I was already familiar with the level of care and professionalism their team brings to every appointment. From the moment we arrived, the energy was warm and welcoming. There is truly a gown for everybody and every body. Belfiore carries everything from petite to curvier sizes, with a range of styles to suit every bride's personality and budget. MK was amazing to work with. He was knowledgeable, patient, and very thorough when explaining the ordering process and gown details to my bride. He took his time, answered every question, and made sure my client felt confident and informed.

I would strongly caution anyone against using Bridal Sense for alterations. My experience was…read morenothing short of a nightmare. They completely botched what was supposed to be a minor alteration and ties for a French bustle incorrectly. When I tried on the dress, the poor workmanship was glaringly obvious. When I attempted to explain the issues, the staff there were dismissive and rude, treating my concerns as if I was making them up. They left me standing there alone with the dress while they attended to other customers, despite knowing I had a scheduled appointment. To make matters worse, my dress was dirty and unpressed at final pick-up, contrary to what had been agreed. I had to seek out another tailor to fix their shoddy work which was immediately noticeable to them, which caused unnecessary stress and expense just two days before my wedding day! I did send an email requesting a refund for the failed alterations in an attempt to resolve this directly, but have yet to receive any response from anyone at the shop. I cannot recommend Bridal Sense for alterations--they clearly lack professionalism, skill, and customer care.

We purchased my daughter's wedding dress here. While we were there we found a dress we all like for…read moreme as the MOB. Bonnie was amazing with my daughter. I went back to try on the dress we had seen. Vickie pulled that dress and 2 others which were not my taste at all. I started to walk around to see if there was anything I liked. I felt uncomfortable because it felt like I wasn't allowed to do that. Completely different experience than with my daughter. I tried 2 more dresses that I had picked and stuck with the first one. After I put my clothes back on - Vickie measures me over my clothes (summer cotton eyelet dress with a full skirt.). I was like ??? I felt rushed and like she couldn't be bothered. I was there maybe 45 minutes and it was a stressful appointment. She then goes to order my dress and there's an online/web fee plus a rush shipping fee. I said I don't need a rush, we are 5 months out and what's this web fee? I was told it was charged by the designer. She proceeded to tell me that they didn't stock my size, they only stocks to a 14 (my normal size) so it was a custom order (size 16). So I came home and thought about it and placed the order the next day. She came back and said oh delivery date just got pushed out 2 more days, you need to hurry and pay the rush fee. I ordered it and said I don't want rush shipping. Delivery date was almost a full 30 days before the wedding. Well the dress came in 3 days ahead of time - yay. I went and tried it on, it was huge. I was so upset as this was a $650 dress. I knew when I had left my appointment that I didn't feel right. I tried it on and Vickie proceeds to say - oh a smaller size wouldn't have fit you. I went to my alterations lady that I've used for 12 years. She said - you're swimming in this, are you sure they ordered the right size? You needed a size smaller (and no, I have not lost any weight) and I will take it in down to the waist in the bodice, further than that, I really can't because of the zipper. I was so upset and disheartened, she had to basically redo the entire bodice of the dress, re-bead the leaves because she had to take it all in in the front and back and the dress has boning, so it was quite the alteration. I knew it would be too long and that was fine. So on top of $650 plus tax and junk fees, alterations have run me $350 on top of the cost of the dress and this is my person. I had gone to another alterations place they had recommended who said off the cuff it would be over $400 If you go there - make sure you're properly measured!

In just an hour here, I found my gown! Akunna and Marissa were so patient and kind during the fitting. It is EXTREMELY important to make the appointments so that they can designate the time accordingly, this shop is a boutique-size/style shop. My anxiety was relieved after finding the dress of my dreams on day one here. The only concerns I had were: 1) it is a very small shop, so it can be overwhelming for someone who doesn't do well in small spaces (like myself) and 2) I felt rushed on my 2nd and 3rd dress fitting which caused me to get a panic attack. Not the fault of the attendants, just the situation. Overall, such a great place! Highly recommend checking it out for your needs.

McCall was super helpful in assisting with getting the dresses on and off as well - I went solo shopping so it was nice to have her in my corner.

As the mother of the bride, I am so disappointed with this wedding shop. There were several issues…read morewith miscommunication and unfulfilled promises, leading to significant stress and dissatisfaction, especially so close to the wedding day. My daughter visited this shop accompanied by all the bridesmaids. They were met with kindness and were told that because they seemed so genuine and that my daughter is in the healthcare field that they would give her a good deal. We were initially promised a heavily discounted designer dress to fit within our budget, along with included alterations and a veil This was a significant factor in our decision to purchase from this shop. However, the poor follow-up communication and the surprise alteration fee of $750 during the final fitting were unexpected and unwelcome developments. The fact that all members of the bridal party heard the initial promises proves that there was a clear understanding of what was agreed upon, making the subsequent deviation from those agreements all the more frustrating. A receipt was given to my daughter but it was not itemized. She was told that an itemized receipt would be emailed to her. She never received this. My daughter tried multiple times to reach the shop to confirm a date for a final fitting. I was coming from out of town and needed to plan accordingly. She left multiple messages that were left unreturned. She finally was able to get through and get an "estimated date". When she tried to confirm this date as it grew closer, she received no response. I booked a flight and crossed my fingers. She did get her final fitting one week out from her wedding date. The dress was too small and needed alterations. These alterations were not included as was our initial understanding. We were then told that taxes would not be charged and the "rush fee" would be waived to help with the miscommunication. "Rush fee??? We had been trying for months to get this taken care of. Ultimately, the failure to uphold promises made and the additional financial burden placed on us at this crucial time in the wedding preparations is unacceptable. We feel completely scammed, deceived and disappointed by this experience, as it significantly impacted my daughter's special day and added unnecessary stress. My hope is that this review helps others avoid facing similar challenges.
