I texted the number and Mario was able to set me up with an appointment for the upcoming Tuesday of that week. The process was pretty quick. Mario took my measurements, he explained the rental process, let me look at some designs and ultimately gave me freedom on the color I wanted. Price was what I expected between $250 and $300, including the 2 piece blazer and pants, white shirt, matching vest and two ties to choose from. They could have included shoes as well but I had my own pair. I'm not sure if that would have altered the price. It took about 5 days for it to be ready, as I could have picked it up the following Monday but it was a busy day for me. Mario even let me try it on and make alterations before I walked out ensuring that my suit was the perfect fit for my special day. Overall, the customer service was top notch and I felt like I was able to take my time throughout the experience despite all the stress that comes with getting married. Thank you, Mario for making my special day a day to remember!

I got my wedding dress at Anthropologie in Walnut Creek and Thuy's Pro Bridal Alterations was…read moreactually on a vetted list of bridal seamstresses in the area. I picked them because they were the closest ones to me geographically, but in hindsight I'm so grateful and feel lucky because it ended up being a wonderful experience. It takes a lot of blind trust to leave your dress with a complete stranger to cut up, only picking it up in the final weeks or even days before your wedding. I called the # listed and was connected with Thao (whose mother is Thuy) and immediately I loved knowing that this is a family business. Thao is very responsive and if she misses your call, you should leave a voicemail and she will get back to you in a timely fashion. Thao got me scheduled in right away for my free consultation within 48 hours of me reaching out. This was in November 2025 and the consult took us about 25 minutes. Initially, we just discussed what alterations needed to be done and we calendared a time for me to come in again for another fitting (closer to my March wedding). We agreed for me to come back in January 2026 after the holidays, to see if my body had changed at all. At the time, in November, my dress was a "perfect fit" and only needed some hemming and a bustle. In January, she quoted me and I paid at my final fitting pick-up. When I returned in January, thankfully, my body had not changed at all. Thao was actually the one who told me that my dress was a perfect fit in a November so beyond my regular diet and exercise, I did not make any major lifestyle changes so I wasn't too surprised when my dress still fit great! She pinned up my dress to prepare to hem four layers and we scheduled out another fitting for the first week of March 2026. This appointment took about 40 minutes. In March 2026, I came and the innermost skirt was a little too long at my second fitting when I tried to practice some moves for my first dance. Thao said she was able to fix it- no problem. She even steamed my cathedral veil for me. I returned a week later for my final fitting and everything was perfect. She sent me off and I got married later that week. I felt wonderful and beautiful on my wedding day, and I wore my gown for over 15 hours. Just this past weekend, I connected with her again to schedule out dropping off my dress and veil for dry-cleaning and some minor repairs. My dress had a few tears and the outer skirt was torn. Thao was really honest about her approach and shared how she planned to repair it and quoted me on the spot. She is really transparent and fast, and her prices are very fair. You can spend hours comparing quotes in the area, or you can just trust me - a really happy bride - and know that depending on how much work has to be done on your gown, you may be quoted somewhere between $200-650 here and her work will leave you feeling like you have -1 major thing to worry about. I think the key to the best experience is less on the seamstress and more on the bride: find a dress you feel comfortable in, one that compliments your body, and perhaps one that doesn't need a million things changed. Lastly, some personal advice: plan ahead- she is super busy and has tons of brides coming in everyday who already have an appointment. Don't wait until a month out to see a seamstress for the first time...! Make sure to bring your wedding shoes at every fitting if you have them!

Marina is a magician. I brought my wedding dress, which was a sample dress with beading that…read moredesperately needed some love and sizing down, and my reception dress 3 months prior to my wedding day. Marina works so quickly and efficiently that starting 3 months was actually a bit early- 2 months would have been sufficient for me. The first fitting appointment was a bit of a whirlwind so it helped to have additional set of eyes as well as pre-meditation of what I wanted. After the initial alterations, there was only one additional minor alteration needed for my wedding dress. She did an excellent job fixing up the beading, with the overall fit, bustle, and changing the lining, and her prices were more than fair. I did have to ask to try on my dress after the 2nd round of alterations, as that was not part of their usual process. Marina holds onto the wedding dress and steams it right before you pick it up, which should be closer to your wedding day, so plan accordingly. I took my reception dress home after the first alterations, but after practicing for our first dance, I decided I wanted some additional security to keep the strapless dress up. I brought it back to Marina, who easily added an elastic band and clasp to the inside, and I was able to dance away comfortably on my wedding night.

Got one set back with stains still on the garment but assumed it might just not be removable. Idk figured it was worth giving the benefit of the doubt since the staff seemed nice and capable. I should've been more diligent in checking the clothes the next time before I left but the recent set of clothes I picked up I inspected when I got home and looked untouched, in their original state and then I noticed the tag reading "needs sewing" was still on my dress strapped and unfixed. It wouldn't be that annoying since it really is my own fault but I gave the woman an extra week to fix it after she told me she was unable to do it in the original allotted time. I really should've checked in store before I left so it's mostly on me and they were a nice enough staff, just be careful before you pay. Either way, I paid full price for all of this and it wasn't cheap so I'm annoyed since I'll have to pay for them again to get done somewhere else properly.

I wish I had a before picture because this dress was literally hanging off of me. I lost roughly 35lbs and the dress had no shape at all. But Halena worked her magic and I received so many compliments on the dress. All in all, I had the dress length hemmed, a hidden American style bustle put in, the original bra cups taken out and replaced with proper fitting cups, the dress was taken in on the sides with boning and extra fabric, and fabric was added to raise the back armpit higher. The waistband was also taken in and she placed an elastic loop and hook to the detachable skirt so that it would stay firmly in place on my dress during the ceremony. I feel like I had the dress re-worked entirely and it came out so beautiful. Communication was so clear and on point with both Helena and Kyle and I appreciated that so much. It is a bit on the pricey side, but again my dress needed so much work, and the fact that it came out in such a gorgeous manner, made it so worth it. I would highly recommend Halena for any of your bridal dress alterations, as you will not be disappointed.
