Wedding dress!
Helen L.

My wedding package came with a dress rental through At Romance. Booking them for appointments was super easy...you can book directly on their website. Speaking of website, they have pictures of their wedding dresses, so you can look and see what you want to try on before your appointment with them. Both May and Fanny are super helpful in dress selection and very patient. I tried on at least 10+ dresses before figuring out which one I wanted to go with. After you pick your dress, they'll help you put it on. They'll even help you take pictures with the best angles if you need with that. The rental process itself was pretty simple. After you say yes to the dress, you'll go back for a fit appointment where they'll measure you so they can fit the dress to your body. Next appointment is to try on the dress and see if anymore alterations are needed. Final appointment is to pick up the dress. This is where they will teach you how to put on the dress for your big day. Make sure to bring a friend or have them record it so you can refer back to video. No appointments needed to return the dress. Overall, I would highly recommend At Romance if you're about renting a wedding dress!

The best decision that I made while wedding planning was renting a dress from AT Romance. If you're thinking about renting a wedding dress, look no further! I went to every single studio that offered dress rentals. May & AT Romance are hands down the best wedding dress rental studio in the Bay Area. Their selection is vast, they have everything from ball gowns, to mermaid dresses, a lines, and even Chinese tea ceremony attire! There were so many dresses there that I loved that it was hard to pick one! All of her dresses are extremely high quality - you can tell by the intricate beading, high quality fabric, and amazing workmanship. May is extremely knowledgeable and honest and she really took the time to listen to what I wanted and I loved her feedback and thoughts. The dress rental price also included 2 veils, alterations (2 fittings), cleaning, and a hair piece. I honestly thought that the price we paid for the dress was extremely fair since alterations & dress dry cleaning can already be extremely costly. The entire process from pick up to drop off was so seamless and easy. May is extremely efficient and organized and it felt great knowing that I was in good hands. What truly sets May apart is her kindness and commitment to making you feel beautiful on your wedding day. 2 days before my wedding, I started feeling like my dress was a bit too tight on one area. I emailed May at 11pm and she responded instantaneously telling me to come in the next morning so she can check it out. She made adjustments right then and there on the spot and really helped ease my nerves. I accidentally ended up leaving the hairpiece there (it fell out of the dress bag) and she sent me a text and hand delivered it to me that same night. That really stood out to me and it just shows where May's heart is. She truly went above and beyond to make sure my special day was perfect. They also offer a ton of other wedding planning services here. Although I didn't get the chance to try those, May did let us take a few photos on the photobooth that they rent out! The photos looked very high quality and the photobooth itself was easy to use. They also had some florals in there for an upcoming event and they were absolutely beautiful! May puts her 110% into AT Romance and I can guarantee you that you're in good hands with whichever service you decide to book with them.

We are beyond grateful for May's incredible support for our wedding. She is truly amazing--so polite, patient, and accommodating every step of the way. May is extremely detail-oriented and handled every aspect of the day with such care that we never had to worry about a thing. Her sense of style is also outstanding. She has such an in-trend aesthetic and gave us so many thoughtful suggestions on the dress, decorations, and overall setup. Thanks to her, everything came together beautifully and felt exactly like what we had envisioned. From coordinating the smallest details to making sure we felt calm and cared for, May went above and beyond. I'm deeply touched by her dedication and can't imagine the day without her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator who is professional, creative, and genuinely committed to making your wedding unforgettable.

AT Romance Bridal Studio is a small, boutique wedding dress studio in San Bruno City. There is street parking available on the main road, but if you park on the side streets (where the residential housing is), the road is somewhat narrow. I looked on yelp for "wedding dress rentals" and AT Romance was at the top of the list. To prepare for my appointment, I looked at the website and took note of which dresses I wanted to try on. You are sent a questionnaire (asking for general information) and a reminder for the appointment that you can schedule online. When you go in, make sure you take your shoes off; slippers are provided for you to wear. For my initial visit, I tried on 5-6 different dresses and I immediately found the one that I loved. The rental price was on the higher end, but this included my rental of the qi pao (Chinese wedding dress), two cushions, a hair piece and a tea pot set that was used for the tea ceremony and Chinese banquet. Overall, the money was well its worth because I had two lovely dresses and accessories that I used and didn't need to find space for after the wedding. May is the owner of AT Romance and she is a delight to work with! She's very friendly, sweet polite and professional. She is super organized and very knowledgeable on which dress would be the best fit for you. I highly recommend coming to AT Romance if you need a wedding dress for rental or purchase. They all offer makeup and photography sessions as well! Thank you May for your time and expertise!

Pre-wedding
Suki F.

This review is long overdue! I rented both my pre-wedding dress and wedding dress from At Romance, and the experience was wonderful. They offer so many beautiful options, from simple and modern to timeless and elegant. May was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all my questions with patience and expertise. She made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. May is truly amazing! Thank you, May! (As much as I'd love to say I'll be back--I probably shouldn't, haha!) I highly recommend At Romance to anyone looking for a beautiful gown.

At Romance came highly recommended to me by a few married friends and when it was my turn to get married, I of course checked out At Romance first. I was never going to buy my wedding dress, so I knew renting was the way to go. I made 2 appointments before I finally found my dress. May, the owner, is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about her dress inventory and bridal styling in general. She really helped me narrow down what style I wanted in our first appointment. My second appointment, I was mainly trying out the A-line styles I liked and finally picked the dress that I did. May even helped me pair 2 veils that would go with my dress. She does not double book so when you have your appointment, you get her undivided attention. The entire process from picking out my dress to pickup to drop off was so seamless and easy. I really appreciate the efficiency of it all, especially as a full-time working bride. The rental package includes the dress, two veils, and the cleaning fee. I had a December wedding and my ceremony happened in a garden. Although it wasn't raining, my dress got super muddy and it was such a good feeling knowing the dress could get dirty and my rental package covered it. Kept me stress-free all day on my wedding day! May was a pleasure to work with, very professional and personable. She really listens to you and tries to make your vision a reality. I highly recommend her to any bride looking to rent a white wedding dress and Chinese qipao/kwa. Super reasonable prices too. I paid around $600 and I think that was a great value for getting the dress and 2 veils (short and long). The wedding dresses range from $580-880 depending on what style of dress you choose. The bridal shop is in a great commercial area in San Bruno with ample street parking. The shop itself is very clean with slippers to change into. Attached some pictures of my wedding dress!

Though I didn't find my dress here, I highly recommend this place for all my brides! May was incredibly hands-on during my appointment, and I loved that they only schedule one appointment at a time, making it feel very personal. She offered a range of styles to try--flare, A-line, mermaid--you name it! I initially fell in love with one dress, but May encouraged me to explore other options to ensure I was making the right choice. I never felt pressured, which set a high standard for my experience at other shops.

Detailing of the dress!
Rachel L.

At Romance was where I found the dress of my dreams! I was very particular about wanting to rent my dress. I just really did not want to buy a gigantic wedding dress for one time use and then store it in the closet forever. However, since I was renting, I thought I would have to settle for a dress that's pretty, but not one that I LOVED. At Romance was the last shop I went to to find a dress. May was kind/knowledgeable and her styles were very different from the ones I've seen in other stores. Others were lacy and pretty but May even had very grand dresses! It was finally at May's shop where I felt like "This is definitely the one!" I'm so glad I got to have that moment. I got a ballgown, cathedral, sparkly dress and the detailing is superb. I cant imagine how many hours of labor it took! I think it had the longest train in the shop and of all the other shops I've seen. May even had a long veil to go with it to complete the look! Another thing I really wanted for my venue was a dance floor! May offers a 14 x 14 dancefloor with LED lights! II think people tend to overlook flooring, but it really goes a long way in making a venue look so much prettier! Well worth the money! Highly recommend At Romance!

This gown was gorgeous, but too heavy for a beach wedding
Gwen M.

Wedding dress shopping is something I wanted to do by myself, I'm very shy trying on clothes in front of people, but thanks to Wendy who helped me throughout the fitting without having to feel awkward. She's also a great photographer! she got all the angles and I think it is a very important skill in decision making. I loved my experience here, they give you time space, and full assistance during your fitting. I also didn't feel rushed or pressured into saying yes to the dress. May also assisted me in the beginning and end of my appointment, she's very transparent and eager to help out. I'm looking forward to coming back here for my second appointment (soon)

Caroline L.

Highly recommend. They have such a variety of styles and dresses and are able to do some small alterations. Having gone to some other places, they have a large selection of dresses and are very friendly. May was super helpful and super kind during the stressful wedding planning time. Really appreciated her kindness during the process and attention to detail. The dress itself is reasonably priced and even comes with two additional veils.

I found my dream dress here AT Romance! I rented my white wedding gown here and it was such a great experience. I would have also wanted to rent other gowns (reception dress, Chinese gown) at this studio if I didn't already have them. When I was wedding gown shopping in early spring, I already went to a few bridal stores and was feeling a bit down by the wedding dress buying process. I finally googled "wedding dress rental" and booked an appointment with AT Romance. The moment I walked through the door, May was so friendly and fun to work with. She pulled many dresses for me to try on. I stopped trying on dresses after I found 3 contenders, but May wanted to make sure I saw all my options and said she was happy to pull more dresses if I wanted. I went home and made my decision on my dream dress the next day. After I paid the deposit, we had 2 fittings and I picked up the dress a few days before my wedding. My gown rental also came with 2 veils (one short/one long) and cleaning service. I wore my gown and everyone gave me so many compliments! The gown return process was super easy as well! I highly recommend this shop if anyone is looking to rent your wedding gown! Thank you May!! May also had a few other services too, I didn't use these services. However, I did see some floral arrangements for another client during my pick up appointment and they were BEAUTIFUL! I would have explored these services if I didn't already have my vendors booked.

Mei and her team at AT Romance Bridal offer spectacular value. I rented a dress for our destination wedding in Cabo and I cannot recommend this place more. The dress was stunning, a gorgeous veil was included with the rental, alterations were perfect, and they were willing to work with my unique schedule since I was leaving the country with the dress. I easily could have spent 5x what I did here. I am so grateful to have found this shop, and encourage any bride who doesn't want to purchase a one-time dress to visit! Thank you, Mei!

Marcela is a miracle worker! I can't thank her enough for saving my wedding dress. My dress was…read morecustom made incorrectly twice- first in the wrong fabric, and then in the wrong size- which meant I received it just three weeks before my wedding, four sizes too big. The tailor originally recommended to me by the bridal shop wouldn't even accept the dress; they said it would require a full remake to fit me and would change the composition of the dress, since it had been ordered incorrectly. Marcela took it on without hesitation. She custom re-made the entire bodice, including redoing the complicated pleating, to make sure it fit my body, and the dress ended up fitting like an absolute glove. She also hemmed it and even made me a custom veil to match it perfectly. In just three weeks, she completed three to four fittings and turned around the perfect dress. Not only did she get the job done on an emergency timeline when other tailors refused, she's also extremely kind, warm, and fun to work with. She treats you like a friend and is genuinely invested in the success of your dress and your big day. Thank you so much, Marcela!

So many other shops give you a strict 90-minute window, pressure you to make a quick decision, and rush you out the door. Papers and Petals was a complete breath of fresh air. I specifically worked with the owner, Georgette, and one of their amazing consultants, Paige. They let me take my time, listened closely to everything I loved and didn't like about each dress, and used that exact feedback to pull options until they found my perfect dress. They were so patient, letting me retry favorites and go back and forth until I was 100% certain and so incredibly excited. They even let my appointment run over because they genuinely wanted to make sure I was confident and super happy with my decision. The exceptional service continued long after I said yes to the dress. Georgette's son and co-owner, Joseph, was wonderful to work with during my fittings. He is so flexible, accommodating, and keeps the whole shop running seamlessly. Every single person I interacted with during fittings and pickup was incredibly kind and helpful, and any concerns I had were solved on the spot. I absolutely loved my dress on my wedding day and am so happy. I would recommend any bride looking for "the one" to go here!

Because there were so many people my appointment got started late (which happens and we didnt have plans after) with a stylist who seemed sort of flustered. Sadly, the shop is very run down with faux leather furniture that is cracked and dirty from wear. The pedestal is shaggy with worn carpet and the whole shop had a bit of a stale smell. I wont name my stylist cause I dont want to be unkind but she seemed confused that I had chosen this shop as my first stop. Im not sure if its well understood that you shouldnt come here if you havent tried on any dresses yet but, it did make me feel like she thought it was a waste of time. Additionally, they didnt have very many styles to choose from. There were hundreds of dresses, for sure, but they were all very very similiar and either A- Line princess dresses with huge skirts, V cut necklines or heavily beaded and embroidered. I was really hoping for mini dresses, something with pleats, two pieces, tiered dresses and more color variation like off white, champagne, cream, blush, etc. I suppose I should have read the reviews.
