They were amazing, finding a gown that fit my style. I am the mother of the Bride. They have expert alterations and are very creative

Meh. Associates weren't very polite when I called to make an appointment or during the appointment itself. Felt kind of shamed for not having a photo album or wedding Pinterest board ready for her. Asked about flower girl dresses for myself because I'm 4'10" and she made a face like I'd just kicked a puppy. Prices are moderate, the dress I liked was $3.2k plus alterations. read more

I was very disappointed in the mess of a shop. I was looking for mob dresses. First appointment of day. Owner comes rushing in 20 minutes dragging a dozen dresses in plastic, yelling to no one in particular "I just came up from Brooklyn." Doesn't acknowledge being late. Looks at my photos. Eh these are so boring. Runs around in the back shouting for some help. Brings out 4 beaded warrior princess bodice dresses which I definitely don't want. All in size 18 way too big. Rhe dusty dressing room was used to store more gowns. I tried on one looks like brunhilde my friend says. Owner reappears with phone glued to her ear. It's gorgeous. By this time I'm sweating and sneezing and quickly got out of there. My friend and I sat in the car laughing so hard. I don't know who shops there but it ain't me. Avoid. read more

Simply the best! From the minute you enter Bridal Chateau and meet Esther your in good hands. Needing a dress for my sons wedding I went there. After a little chat she picked out 4 dresses for me and all looked beautiful on. They were all in the budget I gave her and I had only seen one in another store before. The dress I choose came in exactly when it was supposed to. Then I met Laura,(seamstress) who is amazing. Talented, patient and gets your dress to fit the way you imagined it would. The whole dress shopping experience was a wonderful dream. Everyone spread the word - Bridal Chateau - SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!! read more

I bought my mother of groom dress here after visits to several other shops. Esther was very knowledgable about dress shapes that would work on my body and her seamstress perfected the fit of the dress. I recommend this shop wholeheartedly. read more

With help from Bridal Chateau personnel , I found the perfect dress for my son's wedding. They were professional from start to finish. The dress needed minimal alterations which were done just right. I received so many compliments on the dress. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for formal wear. read more

Ester and Laura are the Dynamic Duo. They took us in when we were panicking and they brought us a resolution and peace of mind. They were able to take-in and make several adjustments to a Christina Wu Wedding dress, where others said is was not possible. Thank you Ester and Laura, you guys rock! read more

Bridal Chateau - Beautiful Chateau. A picture while we were fit into their busy schedule, due to our emergency! - Bridal Near Me - East Hanover, New Jersey

Esther is so wonderful! She knows her dresses and has amazing options in store. Bridal Chateau is small but it makes the experience so much more special. read more

I was looking for a dress last minute and I called and was able to get an appointment the same day. Went in and Was amazed at the selection available in the color I needed. Esther was an asset and helped me pick out a dress for my daughter's wedding. Thank you. read more

I cannot say enough about the service both Esther and Laura have provided to me and my mother. Esther bends over backwards and was able to fulfill every request; from accessories to last minute fitting appointments. Laura, is a master seamstress with an eye for perfection. Her tailoring of my mother's dress exceeded our expectations. Both Esther and Laura have made this entire experience so unforgettable. I highly recommend their boutique for all of your formal occasion needs. read more

Esther will help you find your dream dress, whether you are the bride or mother of the bride or groom. I like that unlike other area salons (some of which are much bigger stores) she doesn't pressure you or try to box you in to buy a dress immediately. Will post some pics to accompany my review after the event. Very happy with my dress, and the quality of service and attention to my mother of the groom dress order. read more

I found this store by accident, having had a disappointing appointment at another bridal store. I was looking for a Mother of the Bride dress- something special that actually looked good on me! After trying on a few dresses here, I found " the one"- I ordered it in a different color, with different sleeves, neckline and trim! While I told them I was planning on losing weight before the wedding( they say everyone intends that!), none of us were anticipating my 31 lbs loss in 4.5 months. The dress literally fell off me- I had lost 3 sizes! Thank God for Esther and especially Laura, the seamstress! After 6 meticulous fittings, Laura was able to give me not only a dress that fit me like a glove, but one that made my dream dress a reality - altering every single section til I was perfectly happy! I got a shocking amount of compliments on my dress during and after the wedding. I was thrilled with both my dress and the kind, helpful and experienced help I received. True professionals who really cared about me, not just the sale. (The alterations were literally half of what I expected!) I can't recommend them highly enough. They have a huge selection of dresses, but once you buy a dress somewhere, that's when real customer service comes in. And they nailed it! read more

This review of Bridal Chateau is long overdue but I cannot forget the exceptional service Esther provided. I entered her store looking for a particular dress however when I seen her selection I chose one of the dresses in her store. Esther was just opening her store and quoted me a price and ensured me she would have my dress in time for my wedding. The price she quoted was much less than what the dress was and she didn't realize it at the time. Esther stuck to her word and did not charge me what the dress should of been. I will forever be grateful for her kind heart and generosity l. She was professional honest and knows how to treat her customers. I also brought my flower girl dress there because she had such a great selection. Thank you Esther. read more

Esther is amazing!! She listens to what you want and knows her dresses!! She just kept bringing in one after another that I loved!! She never rushes you and when she says she'll follow up she does!! You can tell she loves her job! I would definitely recommend going to this shop! I'm so glad I did!! read more

I cannot recommend Esther and her team at Bridal Chateau enough! The store has so many dresses to choose from and she knows what she's doing! She listened to my bridal vision but made some suggestions and helped me find my dream dress. Once we started alterations her seamstress worked her magic. Everything about my experience was perfect. She also has so many mother of the bride / groom dresses. My mom got her dress for my wedding and my brothers wedding and also had a great experience! read more

I fell in love with the kitty Chen dress at another bridal store, but I wanted to add straps and make a few changes to the dress. When I started talking to the other store's seamstress, I didn't feel 100% confident in her ability to create what I was envisioning in my mind. That's what led me to Bridal Chateau. From the moment I walked into the store I knew I was in good hands with Esther (the owner), and Laura (the seamstress). They made my dream a reality. They were super easy to work with and very patient with all the alterations I want to done to my wedding dress. Sometimes a bride falls in love with the dress, and buys it on the spot. However, remember, that you will be working with the store's owner and seamstress for many months after purchasing the dress. Therefore, it's very important that you also love the employees. I highly recommend using Bridal Chateau. The experience was fantastic from beginning to end! read more

We have made the "rounds" of most of the bridal stores in and around Essex county. This shop has a very extensive inventory of MOB dresses but it is the helpful, non pressuring staff that really makes it shine! Don't be put off by the strip mall appearance. Their dresses are very high quality and special. read more

Esther and Laura were beyond phenomenal! They helped create the wedding dress of my dreams!! Everyone raved about how gorgeous my dress was! They both helped create my sleeves from scratch and it was more then I could have ever imagined! I truly felt like a princess on my wedding day! Both of them were so kind, caring and patient throughout the wedding process! It was so crazy during covid and every day Esther would update me on my dress status! Not only that, I am a nurse on the front lines and have seen so much these past months, every time I spoke with Esther on the phone she would ask me how I was doing! They both truly make you feel welcomed! I highly recommend everyone coming here!! I would give them 100 stars It was a true pleasure working with them ! I even miss going for my fittings!! I live over an hour and half away and it was worth the drive!! read more

I invited my sisters from NC and MD to come to my 3:30pm appointment on Sunday. I was running 10 minutes late so I called and they told me my appointment was scheduled for another day and I know for a fact it wasn't because I would be out of town that day. They were rude and didn't even try to accommodate us. Especially having my sisters and mom come from out of town they could have at the least have admitted they were wrong and schedule us the next day. I will NOT be buying my dress from here. Customer service is important! read more

I recently went to purchase a bridesmaids dress for my friends wedding and Esther could not have been more helpful. I walked in not really sure what I wanted and she spent so much time going over what would work for my body and was honest and told me what wouldn't. She wasn't trying to just sell me she wanted me to get something I would feel amazing in. I bought a beautiful dress & told my friend unbeknownst to me - I wasn't supposed to purchase just try on the dress. I went inside & explained this to Esther & she couldn't have been more kind. Refunded my right then and there. I will DEFINITELY be back for my alterations & suggest her to anyone and everyone and the rest of the weddings I'll be in. She is simply amazing. read more

I came to Bridal Chateau because of the Sunday hours and the great reviews. To say I've experienced nothing but grace is an understatement. I had a low budget for a wedding dress, and Esther was honest about the prices in her store from the beginning and only showed me dresses that were as close to my budget as she could get. In the fitting room I spotted a dress and she told me it was definitely above my budget and tried to deter me from putting it on because once I put it on I would want it. Well she was right and it was my dress!!!!! It's not about the money for Esther. Obviously! She would have been pushing that dress on me if she was after money, but no, she wants happy brides. That meant a lot to me. Fast forward to the covid19 virus. I was supposed to get married last weekend (3/21/20) and had to postpone my wedding. Just awful but fine this is where we are at right now. Esther not only said she will hold my dress until my new wedding date in August, but she will refit me and steam the dress before the wedding. I'm sure she's running out of room because of brides postponing their weddings, but she didn't skip a beat in trying to be there for me. Moral of the story, come here to buy your dresses for all occasions. I'll be coming back for my next gala dress! Thank you Esther and Laura for being so wonderful! read more

We just had our son's wedding on Saturday. Esther, Lara and Yashira could not have been nicer. I had been to several salons before but nothing compares to their selection and service. Would definitely go back for any formals. read more

Bridal Chateau - Bridal Near Me - East Hanover, New Jersey

See all

I fell in love with a wedding dress at another boutique but wanted to shop around for a bit and check out any trunk shows. I called Bridal Chateau and found out that Demetrios was having a trunk show just a few weeks later so I waited, went to Bridal Chateau, and tried on the dress again and purchased it from Bridal Chateau. They did an amazing job with measuring me and getting it custom fit from Demetrios so I could avoid unnecessary alteration costs. While I am not using their seamstress, I highly recommend Bridal Chateau. Danielle and Esther are so sweet and helpful and I felt so comfortable purchasing my dress from them! read more

The Bridal Chateau was a true find! I found the store online based on reviews and location. What a wonderful experience it was. Esther was warm and knowledgeable. There were so many dresses to choose from. She brought me styles I would have never thought would look good on me and I was so wrong. I found the perfect Mother of the Bride dress that wowed everyone at the wedding. I can't say enough about the selection and care I received from Esther. I felt like she was my friend offering suggestions and advice. Laura did an amazing job on the alterations as well. She's a pro. I recommend the Bridal Chateau for all things bridal. You won't be disappointed. read more

To say AMAZING would truly be an understatement. My future mother in law and I went to Bridal Chateau a few weeks ago to try on gowns for her for our November 1 wedding. Ester was BEYOND incredible. She truly made me the bride and more importantly my mother in law feel comfortable in every aspect of the word. Her sales technique is just out of this world. She is so honest and makes sure you are comfortable every step of the way. My mother in law and i ended up coming BACK to Bridal Chateau yesterday after an AWFUL experience with Castle Couture (terrible customer service and money hungry). Long story short, my mother in law found her gown at Castle Couture BUT is 100% getting it at Bridal Chateau because Ester actually made my mother in law feel like this was her gown. Castle Couture made my mother in law feel like a transaction. Ester doesn't care about the money she cares about her customers and that's why I will now recommend Bridal Chateau to everyone! Thank you so much Ester! read more

After looking at so many shops to find a dress I came across the Bridal Chateau. They had a great selection of mother of the bride dresses. Ester was so pleasant and went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress. There was no limit to the number of dresses I tried on. Ester just keep helping me find more and more dresses til I found the perfect one. I was never rushed and she was so kind and honest. read more

What a wonderful experience my daughter and I had at Bridal Chateau. My daughter was shopping for prom and wow did we pick the right place. Esther and Ahera are highly experienced, patient and accomodating. The personalized attention truly wowed me. They wouldn't let my daughter take the gown until it was a perfect fit. This is a one stop shopping Boutique that has a large selection of beautiful gowns, shoes and accessories for all occasions. Before you think about department store, online shopping or just another boutique you've got to visit Bridal Chateau. This was an amazing shopping experience and I am looking forward to doing business there again. read more

The store owner Eshter is very nice but don't be fooled by her pleasant demeanor. She will take advantage of you by over charging you if she sees that you really like a dress. Do not let her know your budget for anything and shop around for prices and you will see that this place is extremely over priced. A red flag while shopping here is there is no price tag on her dresses so she can make them as high as she feels she can get out of you. read more

We highly recommend the Bridal Chateau. Esther is very pleasant and easy to work with. There is nothing Esther can't do. Esther and her seamstress, Laura, work with you until you are completely satisfied with your dress. Her prices are very reasonable and competitive. My daughter and I bought dresses and we had a great experience at the Bridal Chateau! Esther was able to get my daughter a dress that she didn't even carry. We were extremely pleased with our experience! read more

Terrible experience. The owner Esther was extremely nice and helpful until I realized she was trying to take advantage of me. I went there for a trunk show and she knew that I wanted a specific dress in the trunk show so she knew the amount of money I was willing to spend for the right dress even though I was extremely stretching my budget to make it work. She insisted that I also tried on another dress that she had in the window and kept telling me when I had it on how it was the dress for me not the one I came there for and then wouldn't let me try on any of the other trunk show dresses telling me they just wouldn't compare to the one from the window. Once she realized I liked the dress from the window just as much as the one I went there for she told me it was the same price as the trunk show dress and she would honor the 10% trunk show discount on the dress even though it wasn't apart of the trunk show. I left and did my homework on the dress from the window only to find out that it was significantly less than what she was trying to charge me. When I confronted her on it she told me she could sell it to me for $1800 less than she originally quoted me! Why wasn't I quoted that in the first place? She never expected that I would do my homework and just thought I would buy it from her without price shopping. She figured if I was willing to spend a certain amount on the one dress than why not get that amount out of me for a cheaper dress so she could make a bigger profit. Big mistake Esther! I won't do business with people like that especially since I explained to her that I drove to her bridal shop 2 hours from my house because the bridal shop a 1/2 hour from my house who carried the same designer that I was there to see provided bad customer service because they never returned calls or emails. She said she prided herself in her customer service and taking care of her brides. She knew I was over budget and still tried to take advantage of me not take care of me! The joke is on her because I bought the dress that was in her window that she introduced me to from another bridal salon that was honest and had fair prices! read more

This is an update to an earlier review. Had difficulty with the dressmaker here who basically ruined my dress. After the event, the dress was badly torn and could not be fixed. Have asked the owner to deal with the manufacturer for some adjustment to no avail. She promised to get me material to try and remake the torn piece of the dress. No follow up here either. Once she has your money, you're cooked. Totally irritated with having to keep calling to get a lousy yard of material. read more

Esther was wonderful. I was a bit late in looking for a mother of the groom dress. She put me at ease and took out many gowns for me to look at. Had so much patience. It took me a few visits to settle on a gown. She helped me (semi) customize the dress to suite my taste and body. I was so happy with my gown and felt amazing at my son's wedding! read more

I was so glad I stopped in after my meeting with my wedding designer. Bridal Chateau is an unassuming salon with the sweetest owner, Esther. She was very honest with me about what dresses would look nice on my body type and I appreciated that she was willing to help me try on multiple dresses. She didn't rush me and was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process. I had many questions and she was happy to answer them and get the designer on the phone to make sure we can make specific alterations to the dress I was interested in. Even though there is one dress I have my eyes on, Esther did not push the dress on me and told me that she'll have the new 2016 inventory in a few months to try on. That makes me feel so comfortable she she's not just trying to close on a sale but is invested in finding the perfect dress for her client. She was even so kind as to help me sell a new dress I purchased (and realized wasn't "the one") on consignment! read more

Was in yesterday for the first time. The owner is a doll. She was so patient and incredibly helpful! I'll be going back this week to try on the mother of the groom dresses I liked and will hopefully decide on one. I love Arlene's in Bloomfield but this is so much closer for me. Arlene's had some nice ones, too, so this is going to be a tough decision! I know I won't be going to bella sposa in Denville cause they were so mean they made me cry. What a pleasure dealing with the nice people at Arlene's and at the Bridal Chateau! read more

Esther (owner) & Laura (seamstress) are the absolute best. From the moment we stepped foot into the shop Esther made us feel very comfortable. She was very flexible with appointments, patient with looking at gowns, and the best with pricing/tailoring. They have the most up-to-date gowns in their shop, have many styles and different trends, and willing to get whatever you need even if you find it somewhere else. Whenever I would call Esther whether it was weeks later or a month to ask a question about the gown, Esther easily remembered us on a first name basis and knew exactly what gown was ordered (not everyone pays that close to attention or cares that much in other bridal stores). Can't express enough how kind and professional she is. Fast forward, my mom became critically ill and ended up in the hospital. With the wedding being so close and my mom unable to get to the store for tailoring, Laura & Esther showed up to the hospital before her shop opened to tailor her gown. The gratitude and how thankful we are is not enough to express in this post how amazing everyone who works there is. They are not only knowledgable but compassionate in what they do. Esther didn't even think twice about coming to the hospital - she made it out to be no problem and eased my stress immediately. She showed up on time, and Laura was able to tailor my mom's gown and they were on their way. End of story - best bridal place in NJ. The only regret I have is not finding them sooner and not getting my gown there. The best of the best. Thank you Bridal Chateu for outstanding customer service, unbelieveable kindness and keeping in stock the best gowns for all occasions :) Only place I would recommend in NJ (and we have been to MANY). read more
