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!!!!

For $750 just to be seen for an appointment, I expected a level of professionalism that reflected…read morethe luxury experience this business advertises. Instead, the woman hosting my baby sister's appointment looked like she was headed to a Pilates class rather than representing a high-end boutique. My mother spent over $5,000 here, and the entire experience left a terrible impression. The other employee working that day was dressed professionally and looked appropriate for her role, which only made the contrast more noticeable. When clients are paying premium prices, presentation matters. Whoever approved this dress code completely missed the mark. It's disappointing to see a business charging luxury prices while failing to uphold even basic professional standards. My baby sister ended up finding a dress she loved... that I myself ended up picking out because this girl not only missed the mark with my sister, but her own choices that day. Go ahead and find somewhere else to spend money on an important day because these folks sure don't care about your experience.

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 initially chose a less expensive seamstress for my wedding dress alterations, and unfortunately, the neckline was completely botched and uneven. With my wedding only being 1 month away, this was a huge disappointment and caused an unnecessary additional amount of stress. I brought my dress to Carole, who was recommended by the bridal shop, and she was an absolute pleasure. She fixed the neckline beautifully and, while working on the dress, also noticed that the original bustle had been poorly done and was likely to break. Only 1 button for all that fabric (right where my bottom hits the chair), I mean come on! Carole fixed it beautifully with a French bustle. Before and after photo below. What I appreciate most is that she was willing to take on someone else's work and fix it, even though I had originally passed on her because her quote was higher. After seeing the love and quality she put into my dress, I truly wish I had just gone with her from the beginning! She was professional, knowledgeable, and so so kind. I'm forever grateful she was able to save my wedding dress so I could wear it with no regrets on my special day! I am truly so appreciative of Carole and the work she put into my gown. I will be recommending Carole to all my besties for their gown alterations and I definitely recommend her for yours too!

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 had to stop in not only to see Rolex but it was my first time seeing a Patek dealer! Frankly, the first older gentleman at the entrance didn't want to sell me rocks and directed me straight to the CPO section in the back... but that was where I met Clay. He immediately introduced himself to me and my wife and from there took the time to go over all the watches we were interested in. He was sincere, honest, and motivated during our meet and I knew he was a direct reflection of the business he was part of. Having been to alot of ADs back in LA, it's almost rare to have genuine hospitality and conversations. It was night and day for me coming to a truly family owned dealer where the staff want to make relationships-it was more than experience I felt, it was culture. So thankful Clay shared his insights and the fire he carries for horology. I'm truly excited about my upcoming relationship with this team and Fourtane.

From the moment we walked in, the entire team was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Laís, in particular, made our Rolex purchase an incredibly special and memorable experience. Her professionalism, kindness, and personal attention made us feel truly appreciated and valued. It's rare to find this level of genuine hospitality and care. The experience itself meant just as much to us as the watch, and we are incredibly grateful for the way we were treated throughout the entire process. A heartfelt thank you to the owners and the entire team for making each visit so exceptional. We look forward to returning again soon and creating many more wonderful memories together.
