    Marcela was a friend instantly. Her expertise in detail is truly amazing! She made my wedding dress come to life, It was 3 sizes too big. Thank you Marcela for taking the time, care and love into my wedding dress. I will absolutely be coming back for all my alternations.

    We need men's suit pants altered. She did a great job with a quick turnaround. We had 2 days before a funeral and she had it done in time.

    Marcela is extremely professional and was willing to add a last minute bustle with less than a week turnaround time. Very impressed.

    If I could give 10 stars, I would!…read more At Romance made our City Hall wedding photoshoot truly magical. We flew in from New York, and planning from across the country could have been stressful -- but May made everything feel effortless. She was so organized and responsive, and during our consultation she completely understood my vision of feeling like a princess with a gown and veil that would flow beautifully down the staircase while still flattering my petite frame. The second dress she pulled was the one, and I instantly felt stunning. Highly recommend also reserving San Francisco City Hall for two hours on a Saturday if you can to avoid the crowds and everyone else also taking pictures in the prime locations. At Romance's City Hall package covered absolutely everything: dress, veil, tiara, professional makeup, and two photographers -- all at an incredible price. Not having to coordinate multiple vendors was such a relief. The photographers reached out ahead of time to go over details and on the day of made us feel completely comfortable, guiding us through poses and capturing breathtaking shots on the grand staircase. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, romantic, and unforgettable. I would 100% recommend At Romance to anyone wanting a true one-stop shop and a dream City Hall wedding experience.

Franny helped me during my visit and she was incredibly kind, patient, and made the entire process feel so easy and stress-free. May, the owner, was so welcoming and truly made me feel valued and excited throughout my appointment. I also said yes to the dress on the very same street where my fiancé and I first met, which made the moment even more special and meaningful. The dress rental includes alterations and a veil, which was such a huge plus, and the return process is super convenient with a 4-day window. This place is professional, kind, and exceeded all of my expectations. I'm beyond excited to continue this journey with them and highly recommend them to any bride-to-be!

    Overall I think Novella is not bad, but their lead alteration person is retired and while I was…read morecoming in, she was retiring. I ended up being charged more than the quoted amount and had to bring my dress back a few times because she missed some basic things. I don't think the person whos doing alterations there is still there so perhaps this review is quickly outdated, but I would say there's definitely not the kind of attention to detail I would have appreciated being at this price point and for this kind of thing where attention to detail for wedding dresses is so important. Every time I've been there, there's been some brides trying on beautiful gowns, so it seems like they have a good selection of dresses if that's what you're in the market for!

    I visited Novella bridal on a whim yesterday after having spent the day in the city. I had gone…read morebridal dress shopping twice previously, with two different entourages in two other cities, and I was feeling discouraged about what I wanted, and pleasing others. First of all, PLEASE make an appointment with them. They have a small staff, and are quite busy accommodating brides! I was incredibly lucky to be greeted by Seneca, who after listening to my sob story offered to squeeze me in for an afternoon appointment to try a couple sample dresses I'd seen listed on Stillwhite. She was such a sweetheart, and when I returned for my appointment, had the two dresses I'd requested pulled, as well as a few others of the similar style. Although I didn't have a group with me, Seneca was incredibly patient and supportive while I mulled over the dresses, and hyped me up to fall in love with my original vision. Some of the sample dresses being sold are quite affordable for the budget conscious bride which was a huge plus! Additionally, I've seen fantastic reviews about their in house alterations. Highly recommend whether you're lost in your wedding dress search, or if you want an exceptional experience picking exactly what you want!

I decided spontaneously that morning to try and get an appointment, and it actually worked out! The welcome was incredibly friendly, and there is a wide selection of dresses in many different styles. You start with five dresses, and once you have a general idea of what you like, they bring you more options to try. At no point did I feel rushed or limited in the number of dresses I could try on. Renee assisted me that day, and she was incredibly kind, fun, and created such a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Now I'm really looking forward to the upcoming alterations and choosing my accessories!

Wedding dress shopping can feel overwhelming and emotional, but Tiffany was incredibly patient, honest, kind, and genuinely supportive through every step of the process!! She has such a calming and uplifting energy while still being honest and helpful with her opinions, which I appreciated so much. She made me feel beautiful, comfortable, and truly listened to what I wanted instead of pushing anything on me. She also somehow managed to make the appointment feel exciting and relaxed all at the same time. I'm so grateful she was the one who helped me find my wedding dress. I could not recommend Tiffany and Janene's Bridal enough!

    I am in LOVE with both my dress and the experience I had at Bo Lee!!…read more I was recommended Bo Lee by a friend who knew of them when they were located in Sunnyvale; they're now located in Campbell. Parking is super easy; for my Sunday 3:00 PM appointment, the street parking spots were empty and the nearby parking garage had tons of space. Entrance is a little bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but they put a sign above their entrance, and directions are easy to follow to their front door (store is located on the second floor). My absolute love of this place includes: - the space is huge!! I had a dual fitting with my friend, but we weren't bumping into each other or in each other's pictures or anything at all. I saw that there was another person doing a fitting, but she was practically on the other side of the building, so we weren't encroaching in each other's space. - the dual fitting was a special request, and Jackie made sure to put us in rooms next to each other, which made the process that much more seamless - kitchen: one of my girls set up camp and poured us our teas, mimosas, and champagne in the Bo Lee kitchen. Also a beautiful space! - natural lighting: big and tall windows plus second floor venue equals viewing yourself in true colors instead of only bulb-lighting. The dresses I tried on were beautiful, but in the natural light, I could see how dynamic they were as well! Subtle sparkles, sheer tulle... it all came out differently in the natural light. - stylist chooses the dresses based on conversations and preference. Jackie, my stylist, knew the entire inventory. I just described what I thought I wanted, and she delivered!! I was relieved that I didn't have to go through dress after dress on the floor and hum and haw about whether I wanted to try it on or not. (Some people might not like this, but I feel like I had a curated try-on collection from an expert who saw the bigger picture.) - I also love how Jackie had me try on a dress I didn't think was the style I wanted, and she dotted her Is and crossed her Ts so I could for sure say with confidence that that particular dress style was a "no" from me. - both Jackie and Bo Lee took my measurements to make sure there wasn't an error, and it's the little things like that that make you feel confident in choosing them as your bridal boutique. I'm happy, I saw and tried on so many styles, and I had such a fun time! I also went under-budget for what I wanted for my dress, which is a win!

She explained the different materials and silhouettes and pulled so many different dresses for me to try on. She helped me narrow down what I like. I'm still not sure if it was THE dress, but I really appreciate Jackie's professionalism and attentiveness. I had a few girlfriends join me at my appointment and they had so much fun. I would definitely consider coming back here for a follow up!
