Made an appointment at a different shop to try on bridal dresses. The shop cancelled my appointment the morning of my appointment. I called Michelle's and they gave me an appointment that same day! The staff had everything set up for me and my bridesmaid. They were so accommodating and informative. I found my dress right away! I was able to pick out the tuxedos from a good selection of styles and colors. My (now) husband and his groomsmen got measured and all the tuxedos were ordered. One groomsman had his shipped to him due to him living hours away. The tuxedos arrived exactly when they said they would. The tuxedo that was shipped to a home fit great. When my husband and my son need to pick up their tuxes, horrible storms were coming through our area. Most businesses had closed. One amazing staff member stayed at the store so we could try on and pick them up!! A slightly alteration need to be done on my sons tux. She did it in the store right there! Took only 10 mins!! The quality of my dress and all the tuxedos was so excellent. Prices were less than I expected! Everything was perfect!!! I would definitely recommend Michelle's! They were all amazing!!

In January 2026, my youngest daughter and I went to Michelle's Bridal to try on dresses for my…read moreolder daughter's wedding, scheduled for late June 2026. We called ahead and made an appointment to try on dresses, and I made it clear when scheduling that we were looking for dresses for a bridesmaid and mother of the bride, as well as cocktail dresses - so we were potentially buying FOUR dresses. We were immediately told that there would "...be NO time to order anything" so we would have to buy off the rack. Ok, fine. We went in for our scheduled time, the woman looked us up and down, and pointed back to a small rack of dresses, and then waved in the direction of another potential area where we might find something. When I asked for our specific size, she kind of laughed and suggested that we would have to take whatever was available. The dresses were ugly last season dresses, smelled horrible, were ripped and stained, some even had busted zippers, and were all still priced over $600. We tried on two, and decided to leave. The story goes even longer and the service gets even worse in terms of level of care and quality, I will save the reader from the absolute worst details. We even were walked down to the prom dress area, where the service was clearly centered to cater to that clientele. Bottom line is, we were judged immediately based on size, and sent to a back room with a fitter who really could have cared less about us. Needless to say, we bought nothing there. I will add that their quote about it being "too late to order anything" was absolutely wrong, goes beyond measure in terms of scoring this business for integrity and customer care. I ordered two beautiful dresses direct from a designer from her Spring 2026 line, received BOTH dresses within a week, and already have them in for alterations and it is only the second week of March. What's more, the formal gowns I tried on at Nordstrom, Macy's and Bloomingdale's far out surpassed Michelle's Bridal in terms of quality and price, by leaps and bounds, and we were treated better by the retail staff than by anyone at Michelle's. The advice I would leave folks with, who might be considering Michelle's Bridal for their special day, is shop around. Just because they are the *only* bridal shop in this area, does not give them the right to judge customers, treat customers like garbage, and assume facts about the industry that just are not true. Do your own research. They should stick to their niche prom and homecoming crowd, who are willing to overpay for cheap, one-time wear dresses. Such a shame, especially when there is a market for high quality wedding boutiques that offer high end customer care, even for the mother of the bride. I vote NO for Michelle's Bridal.

I cannot say enough about how thankful I am I found Jamie and Champaign Jewelers. I had very bad…read moreexperiences with two other jewelers in town, causing me to be empty-fingered at my wedding, and my wedding ring damaged from a simple resize. Jamie listened to all of my ideas about designing my ring, answered all of our questions openly and honestly, gave her professional opinion when I wanted it, remained excited and supportive throughout the process, and worked behind the scenes to make me the perfect ring. And all of this, extremely efficiently! With others, I was told my ideas would not look good, pressured, lied to, and they were not even going to make any proofs of my ring! Getting a wax proof seemed to be standard at Champaign Jewelers, and had it not been perfect, Jamie would have had no problem sending feedback to make sure it was. She even researched where one of my rings came from so that same supplier could help match my custom ring's details! They also fixed the prior damage to my wedding ring! Every time we went into Champaign Jewelers, we felt welcomed, at ease, listened to, and appreciated. We had a wonderful experience, and will never even THINK about going anywhere else ever again! Had I come here initially, I would have had my gorgeous, complete set well before my wedding, and a lot of saved stress.

If you need something fancier, more unique, they have that too, including some nice looking linen blend suits for the summer. Staff was very nice, very patient with me, and have good taste.

The manager had Dad measured up in no time, found him a reasonably priced ITALIAN jacket -- so reasonably priced that I was able to spring for a good pair of all-season wool trousers. I had wasted my time at the other two stores. Kuhn's is old-school in terms of customer care -- meaning it is excellent. The style choices are up-to-date, however. Beautiful clothing. This store is worth a visit. You won't get this level of customer care elsewhere in Champaign-Urbana -- not in men's clothing anyway. Oh . . . if you want a pair of orange trousers -- almost jeans-like, they are so comfortable -- Kuhn's has them. For those of us who bleed Illini Orange and Blue, they are perfect. Bought them for myself.

I was a little disappointed in my dealings with Christopher's and I'll explain why. The store is…read morereally fascinating, with lots of beautiful and unique jewelry. The staff seem well informed and are very helpful, too. I went there looking for an engraved locket for my mother and while they didn't have anything in stock that fit what I needed, they told me they could easily order it in and engrave the locket in store but the whole process would take two weeks tops from beginning to end. They called while I was there and confirmed their supplier had the item I wanted and would ship it to Christopher's right away. I actually live in Los Angeles but my in-laws live in Champaign, so I paid in full for the locket and engraving and agreed that my mother in law would collect the order when it was ready and send it to me. Fine. Except it took over 10 days longer than the completion date they gave me and I ended up having to bug them about it. When I finally got the locket, the last letter on the engraving looked like an M instead of an N but I didn't bother to call them. I was just disappointed with the experience overall, and hope it may have been different if I'd ordered a custom item instead.
