She was so sweet over email and worked with my schedule to set up an appointment timely as I was finding a dress just a few months out from the time of my event. Upon entering Hera Bridal the day of my appointment, I was instantly in wedding dress heaven! The studio itself is so cute and there were so many wedding dresses to choose from. April had soft music playing in the background, and everything you'd dream of having in a wedding dress shop from an adorable area to try on the dress, to a bouquet of flowers to give you to hold as you envision yourself in a dress walking down the aisle. April worked with me and my budget so graciously so that I could truly have my dream wedding dress for our wedding!! It was God's providence that I landed upon this boutique, the dress I chose was only the second dress I tried on. April is contentious, kind, and so sweet. Thank you again for everything!

I truly appreciate her flexibility with my initial appointment as I was traveling a couple of hours just to try on some dresses. Throughout my appointment she was super supportive and offered different options/tailoring ideas for the dresses which was an option I didn't receive at other bridal stores. She was also super patient as it took me about ~5-6 dresses to find the one! Also! April made sure everything was clean and sanitized during my appointment! During my wedding day I felt like a total princess! Totally recommend Hera Bridal to all the future brides!!!!

You pick out dresses you like and take them in a fitting room where they help you put it one. You've got an hour and you can try one as many within that time.

We had the pleasure of working with Coastside Couture for our wedding in Nov of 2022 and we are…read morestill reminiscing about the incredible day they helped us create. From the very beginning, their team was dedicated to understanding our vision and bringing it to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. They dug deep to get to know us and our families and words can't do them justice. One of the standout aspects of their amazing work was their recommendation and orchestration(no pun intended) for a band that matched and exceeded our hopes for a lit and epic dance floor. The energy and talent of the band they suggested turned our reception into an unforgettable celebration. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had dancing the night away. The attention to detail and commitment to excellence from Heidi, Sonja, and Harley were evident in every aspect of our wedding. They managed to seamlessly blend elegance and fun, creating moments that reflected my husband and myself and will be memories we will literally never forget. Also I reflect now on how much stress they removed from our lives and I am eternally grateful. We have no idea all the ways they just allowed us to have fun in the process. We truly believe that our wedding was one of the best day of our lives, and much of that is thanks to the hard work and dedication of this dream team. If you are looking for a wedding planning company that will go above and beyond to make your day as special as possible, we highly recommend Coastside Couture. Their expertise, passion, and personal touch made our wedding day epic and unforgettable. Love them!!

Heidi, Sonja and Harley were great to work with for our wedding. We started working with Heidi 9…read moremonths before our wedding in Carmel Valley and she immediately started reserving/confirming vendors that we absolutely loved. She is experienced, and really knows the area and the best vendors to work with. She managed to reserve one highly in-demand vendor before we had even finalized our contract with her, anticipating that it would be the best option for us (which it was). That is how forward-thinking and proactive Heidi is - a true godsend for two people with busy schedules and very little time to plan a wedding. Without Heidi, our wedding would be an absolute shadow of the wonderful event that it turned out to be with her at the helm. We recommend Heidi for any event in and around Carmel, particularly for those individuals with tight schedules, busy lives or far reaching visions of what you want out of your event. She really focuses on personalizing your wedding day to reflect the couple's tastes and vision. Heidi and her incredible team will move heaven and earth to make sure that you have the event that you want. We hope that we will have many opportunities to work with Heidi and her team in the future. To Heidi and her team - thank you for everything.

Ericka was absolutely phenomenal. I came across her business through Yelp and sent her a message…read more She responded immediately and we scheduled an appointment. I needed a slip added to my dress as well as alterations to the length of my dress. Ericka matched the perfect color of slip. She was able to have the dress completed within 2 weeks after meeting her. Incredible! She is extremely talented. I loved how my dress turned out. I had zero complaints on the day of the event.. the slip didn't rise. I definitely plan on seeing Ericka for all future alterations and projects.

Also, she kept asking me impertinent questions on where I was getting married, to whom, to which sex, etc. Felt like she had to approve of all marriages she supplied the dresses for. I eventually stopped responding, and she stopped asking, but it was a very uncomfortable experience for me and my bridal party. I do not recommend these dresses, and I do not recommend the service.

She did an EXCELLENT job, in a very short amount of time. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is wonderful to work with! I enjoyed the experience and I LOVE my dress! The high quality work and attention to detail is truly remarkable. During our initial phone call, she took the time to answer all of my questions and didn't rush me. She didn't pressure me to go with her, made me feel comfortable and said she would be able to fit me in just in time for my wedding. My first fitting was such a positive experience! She is incredibly bright and insanely talented. She is friendly and personable. When I went to the second fitting to pick up my dress, I was truly stunned. I have never used the word "snatched" before, but she made me look "snatched". I never wanted to take my gown off. She transformed it into a work of art. My mom needed help when steaming my dress on the day of my wedding, and I didn't know what to do. I gave her my phone and had her call Carole. Carole was so kind and helpful and went above and beyond. I am so grateful for Carole! TLDR: Carole is absolutely AMAZING and will make you look and feel BEAUTIFUL on your wedding day. You will not be disappointed

She worked with my budget and listened to what I wanted and made something I didn't even know what was possible happen. Her studio is very clean and gorgeous. She guided me on how to travel to Mexico with my dress and gave me the confidence to do so.

My mother could not be in the states for my civil ceremony, but with her dress she was as close to my heart as possible. Thank you again Carole.

I wish I could give 1000 stars to this venue and team. I am blown away by my experience working…read morewith the team at Carmel Fields. Obviously, weddings are expensive and in our initial search for a venue I was so worried about finding somewhere beautiful that was worth the money. Carmel Fields is MORE than worth every penny. Alycia gave us our first tour of the property. She was extremely thorough and professional and answered all of our questions. During our tour, she informed me that they source the vendors to ensure a stress free day/experience. It sounded too good to be true, but it wasn't. After deciding to move forward, every interaction I had with the Wegdewood team was a world class experience. I do not say that lightly. They are all patient, kind, and so helpful. They go the extra mile to ensure your expectations are met and exceeded. Alycia was our coordinator for the event. She worked so hard to ensure that everything was perfect, and it truly was. I did not worry or stress about anything leading up to or during the event. Everything was organized and Alycia handled anything that came up. She was understanding and supportive and really helped with every aspect of the event. She is so professional and experienced and helped bring our vision to life. I am so grateful for her!! Moving on to the food... WOW. Out of this world. Every plate served was hot, fresh, and delicious. Our guests raved about the food. If you are reading this review and wondering if you should move forward with this venue, I highly recommend you do if you are looking to have a seamless, fun, and perfect event.

She admired a pretty bracelet, but we kept walking on past other Pebble Beach stores. Eventually on our way back to the car, we walked by Marchesa one last time. This time, I convinced my friend to walk inside... Mary and Melissa greeted us warmly and asked if they could answer any questions for us. I piped up, "Yes, there is a beautiful bracelet in your window. What is its price, please?" Soon my friend was trying the bracelet on. Melissa helped demonstrate the best way to put it on and remove it with ease. Yes, my friend happily walked out with her new wrist adornment! We couldn't have had a more lovely shopping experience with Melissa and Mary. Thank you! We will definitely return!
