All I can say is WOW! This is a fantastic bridal shop.

The dresses were beautiful and surprisingly quite affordable. It was well worth the trip from Brooklyn to NJ. The salespeople were all personable, helpful, and polite.

Not sure why there is such a low rating for this place. I…read morethought it was well organized and had a good selection. I called ahead to make an appt. When we got there, a woman (maybe the owner?) greeted us in the front and explained the process. There is a larger selection of dresses than I expected and they are all protected in plastic. There is a card attached to each dress with helpful information such as available colors and the price. You can pick a few dresses and give it to one of the staff who then help you with changing into the dress. I liked their customer service. The young staffers help pick out dresses based on what you're looking for or what you've picked out and they were great with helping to change in and out of dresses multiple times. They do have a no-camera policy unless you've purchased the dress. This makes it hard to compare dresses because after a while I forget what each dress looks like and which looks better. I wish they would organize the dresses by color so that we don't have to go looking for the color we want. Even though the available colors may not be in the store, it's helpful to see the color in the style in person. In the end, we didn't find a dress here but it was a good experience with great service.

Really bad knock offs & when I heard they come from China ... that said it all. Oh and you can NOT try dresses on with shoes so don't bring them. I've seen better quality gowns at the shops in the Mall. I now understand why they block you off from walking around while you're waiting your turn. I can assure you during that 20 minute wait, we would've just turned around and walked out. You'll spend less for a quality dress at any of the mall stores & even Castle Coulture.

As a mother shopping for a dress for my…read moredaughter's prom at a Muslim school, I explained that the dress she tried on was too revealing for the school's standards. Rather than listening respectfully, the CEO, Maurice Payani, responded dismissively when I mentioned that the school follows guidance from an imam. I was told that my concerns didn't matter and that I didn't understand what was being said to me. The interaction felt extremely disrespectful and confrontational. Instead of trying to understand the cultural and religious context I explained, the conversation became tense and uncomfortable. As a customer, I expect to be treated with respect--especially when discussing modesty standards for a religious school event. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. I left feeling unheard and disrespected. Because of this experience, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this store to families who expect respectful customer service and sensitivity to religious or cultural concerns.

I'm so torn on my review for this store…read more.. I scheduled a VIP experience here which means the store is for you and your guests only and I really liked that option as this was my first dress try on ever and I was nervous as ever. I was so happy to see a plus size bridal store so that size wouldn't be an issue. & In that department they knocked it out of the park. I never worried once if a dress wouldn't fit. Michelle who does their art work and gifts and greetings was amazing and I wish she was my sales girl. They are a smaller store so there's not and abundance of variety but there's options. However my overall experience I left with was not great and mainly due to my sales rep MaryAnn. In the beginning she was awesome, very friendly and welcoming. She made me feel hopeful that I might find my dress. Now I had 4 family members with me to get their opinions and thoughts. My family is a no nonsense type of crowd and aren't afraid to say their opinions which is why I brought them. But also they know me they understand ME. Maryann had told them in the beginning they could look for dresses for me but just don't pull them off. No problem. And my appointment was 2hrs (4-6pm) Halfway through my appointment As I'm trying on dresses and seeing what I like and dislike I get the feeling of being rushed by MaryAnn. I notice my family are getting less pictures and opinions in before she's like NEXT. In my head I'm like woah did 2hrs pass by, is the appointment almost over? Well I look at the time and it's only 5, 5!! I still have an hour left! Why is she rushing me? My family noticed and immediately felt the tension in the air as they know I can be walked over on and this is my day not anyone else's. So I remain calm and keep trying on dresses but it's a lot to take in, I'm trying to process and here's MaryAnn "IS IT A YES OR NO?!" Seriously? My aunt went out to look for a specific style of dress which we now know is called Aline She did not know this at first and when trying to describe it by calling it a straight down MaryAnn felt the need to constantly tell her "that's not what it's called but wouldn't advise the correct name. She insisted my aunt was talking about fit n flare but she WASNT! She is the professional not us so if I Describe some thing she should be able to understand and help find what I'm looking for rather than focus on verbiage. This happened multiple times. Another example was my grandmother said I should wear white (after trying on a nude dress) and here is MaryAnn "no , she should wear white. She should wear ivory. All these dresses are ivory" this comment was unnecessary as my grandmother was just saying not nude & I understood that. She also was too opinionated for me at times, as a plus size bride trying on in fitting rooms is a hard experience no matter what so when I try on a dress and before I get to even look at it she says immediately she doesn't like how it looks on me I don't like that. let me look at it see how I feel and show my family I don't need you instantly telling me what you think looks ugly on me because , God for bid I liked it then it would have been awkward. The straw that broke the camels back was at the end my grandmother wanted to see veil options just to see if it would help Marianne felt the need to shut her idea down immediately saying there's no point in looking at avails if I haven't found my dress my party disagreed as they want to see a veil so when trying on another dress my grandmother suggested again can we please see avail Mary and again immediately denied it my cousin was fed up she stated very clearly "if she wants to try on a veil then she will try on a veil." finally we got a veil from Marianne. I didn't find a dress I liked but the veil really did help the vision and I'm the kind of person who needs time to think on some thing so one of these dresses may have stuck out later and I would have come back to buy one but after Marianne's attitude and mannerisms I do not want to come back I felt she felt I was not buying a dress so the sale was not there so my appointment was unnecessary because the last hour she rushed and denied every idea and friendly attitude disappeared I don't care if I don't buy a dress I paid them for a VIP experience and that's what I deserve they lost the sale because there were dresses that I would be interested in coming back to see but I'm not her customer service need some work I don't care how long she's been in the industry as she felt the need to tell us again and again. I don't want to give this store zero stores because of a bad experience with one sales person. I truly appreciate their store for other plus size brides out there. But please she really should work on her customer service and seeing brides as just a sale, especially ones that pay for VIP Experience.

Mark was very professional and personable constantly cracking jokes and keeping the atmosphere light. We were fitted one by one pretty quickly. He ended up giving the group a nice discount when the groom answered a question about the bride as a game. When returning months later to pick up my tux for the big day Mark didn't miss a beat. I could have honestly just took the suit off the hanger and kept it moving. Everything fit perfectly! There was not a thread out of place and the tux's were ready for pickup about a week from the event to make it even more convenient. I was a groomsman once before and they used Men's Warehouse. My pants looked like capris over there. We had so many issues when the big day got there they ended up giving everyone a huge refund. Night and day experience. I'm getting married myself soon and I know where I'm going for sure. A bit pricier than your chains but well worth the extra money for the time and effort he puts in. Good job Mark!

Most places wouldn't have been able to do that, but Zatsarina's really came through. My first fitting was on August 24th with a second scheduled for September 18th and finally a pickup for October 4th. Gina was so efficient and diligent explaining what needed to be done (take in the shoulder straps, hem, bustle, etc). My first visit was thorough and she explained everything perfectly. All of the alterations would come to $800 (as I had bought off the rack at another boutique). When I came in for my fitting everything was looking great and only a few minor tweaks needed to be made. All in all, a great experience. There was a bit of a hiccup at the end when it wasn't fully ready for my pickup and still needed to be steamed. They made it work and were able to finish it while I waited. I didn't entirely like dealing with her husband but Gina was EXCEPTIONAL. She suggested a video on how to bustle which was super helpful for later. As I mentioned, I had a difficult request with such a quick turnaround time, but I'm so grateful for how everything turned out and how Gina was willing to help and deliver such high quality service.

Gina and her husband are the best! After being sold a non-existent dress by a local bridal store (I…read moredid review them here), I needed a trustworthy seamstress to bring my vision to life. From the moment you walk into Zatsarina, you're met with kindness and professionalism. The inside is sleek and showcases all of Gina's talents. For my personal tailoring, in terms of a unique situation, I needed sleeves from a jacket placed on a spaghetti strap dress. Then, I needed a bustle added to my dress, tulle taken out of the bottom layers, and a slit added. The fabric of my jacket sleeves were very delicate (covered in beads); and I needed someone who I could fully trust. She delivered. She even hand placed matching beads in spots that were naturally not as crowded, to match the rest of the jacket. Additionally, she hemmed the sleeves of the jacket, so they were perfect. For my bustle, I wanted something that did not create a large bump around my butt, and the way she made the bustle was perfect and almost invisible. (My train was LONG, when bustled, you could not tell there were 14 buttons to make this possible.) It was so easy to connect everything- she showed my MOH a video how to do so too and even encouraged her to record it, which was super helpful dua of. my sister (MOH) was able to do it within a few minutes. Gina's work is perfection. She met with me multiple times to make sure everything was perfect and even provided directions on how to steam the day off. Also, Gina makes custom wedding dresses! Pros: attention to detail & skill Overall, my dress fit perfectly & everything held up. I would highly recommend zatsarina fashion, specifically gina for your most important tailorings. With her attention to detail and skill, you cannot go wrong!

If I could give zero stars I would... I had a really…read moredisappointing experience with this bridal boutique. We were required to order bridesmaid dresses 8 months in advance, which already felt unusual. After ordering, I found out I'm pregnant and the wedding will be when I'm about 5 months along, so I called the store to ask if I could simply change the size since the dress hasn't even arrived yet. The dress is from a designer whose website shows 8-9 week shipping for special orders yet the store insisted the process takes 8 months. At first I was told the bride requested the dresses early, which wasn't true. Later they changed the explanation and said their shipping takes longer than the designer's... even though that is who they place their orders through so makes absolutely no sense. After speaking with the bride, she was also told that we had to order before December because of upcoming tariffs that would supposedly increase the price. However, the dress is currently the exact same price to order today, which makes that explanation confusing as well. The bride also mentioned to the consultant during ordering that some bridesmaids could potentially be pregnant, but later I was told that if the bride had specifically said that someone is trying to get pregnant, they would have advised ordering a larger size. Apparently the wording needed to be extremely specific in order to receive that guidance. Despite the dress not even being in my possession yet or theirs, I was told I would have to purchase an entirely new dress and could not change the size or receive any credit. I understand bridal items can be final sale, but the inconsistent explanations and lack of flexibility were really disappointing especially given the circumstances. I wish there had been more honesty and willingness to help. I would absolutely never give these people my business and if you're thinking about it BEWARE. They will rip you off and try to manipulate you with zero remorse. Might I add the wedding is still 5 months away

I brought her a delicate and very oversized gown (I lost 40lbs) in mid Aug. She assured me she was familiar with the dress and knew it was from Macys bridal. I felt confident. I went to two other local seamstresses and this shop was least expensive. I made an appt. to pick it up on Sept. 16. I went there and it was not done (2 1/2 weeks later). She said I should have called her first...ummm thats what an appt is for, right? I got stern with her and she said her son was in the hospital. Now I felt stupid for being worried. She kept saying to call her, I said no you call me when its done. She said come Friday it will be done. When I showed up Fri (9/20) the business was closed. I finally got her to answer my calls the following Tues, as her voicemail box was full. I was told to come in the next morning. When I did my dress was only half done. She sized the rest of it and said to pick it up Monday morning (9/30) after arguing that I needed it ASAP. When I arrived Mon. there was an Eviction notice on the door. She came out to meet me and assured me I would have my dress that day she was having landlord problems...Told me again to call her after 1pm. She ignored my calls, and I finally got got an answer by calling from a different number. At 3pm she told me she was going to sign papers and could get in by 8-9 pm. I stayed around that night only to find out I could get my dress at 10am the next morning. So this morning, the property manager opened the door for the customers and let us get our items. After speaking w him & several other clients I concluded this was happening to all of them. My dress was still hanging in the dressing room where I left it 1 week prior. She hadn't even touched it!!! Never even put it on a hanger. She had no intentions on finishing it. I'm a fool for giving so many opportunities to this shop. I brought my unfinished dress to another seamstress in town today and she could seem to figure out what this woman had done with my dress. She said it was shortened too much and said the alterations already done were not professional. I only hope my dress is able to get done by Friday by this kind seamstress. I met lisa at the shop afterwards to get a refund (after telling my husband she would) and she told me to dispute it with the credit card. She said what about the work I already did....REALLY???? With all the stress and running around chasing you down, you should be paying me! She hopped in her friends car and drove away. Please beware of this shop!!!! And read other brides reviews online, you will come up with more stories. Dont believe me, call the Metuchen tax dept or county landlord division.
