    What a great experience with every single person here. My close friend is getting married this year and needed something ASAP. Even though we were limited on time, we were able to look at an array of dresses that would delivered on time. The woman who assisted the dream dress for my friend was super patient and helpful.. she was a god send. Luckily, we were able to find a dress that made her say YES! We will be back for alterations and I can't imagine anything less than a spectacular experience.

    Do NOT waste your time or money coming here. Just left after only 30 minutes in the middle of our appointment because of the consultant JENNY. My best friend made an appointment for 1pm to find her dream dress. The moment we walked in we were met with Jenny who was completely impersonal. She wasn't friendly at all and continued to ask inappropriate questions about my friend's breastfeeding and trying to tell her how the human body works (she's had 2 kids, she's not an idiot). She was super condescending with her budget as well - she's already told her several times what her budget was but continued to make her feel bad (even though her budget was well fit for the prices of the dress). Not only that, but she had the audacity to call her fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She made MORE than one comment on her weight, pointing out her "love handles". She told her she needs a girdle and to work out. She told her she's "worried for her to buy a dress today cause she needs to lose some pounds" and then finally told her to "just come back after you lose weight". I've already called to speak to the manager, Jim, who seemed just as shocked as us by how horrible Jenny was to us. I hope he does something to reprimand her - fitting for her actions. Women are coming here to find their dream dress and this JENNY person is absolutely not fit to work here! Wish I could give this place NO stars for the LACK of service we received. Absolutely horrible. EDIT: The manager never called or emailed the bride like he said he would. We left horrible reviews - obviously! - on their Instagram and they deleted them and blocked us. Also disabled their comments on their Facebook. A quick search will show you that not only does this company body shame but they're also homophobic. Do not ever spend money at this disgusting excuse of a shop. Edit 2: The manager never called STILL so the bride to be called. He made an excuse saying the reviews upset him so he couldn't sleep last night. Still didn't apologise. He claims this Jenny woman is no longer working with the brides "for the time being"!!!!! But what about all the other brides before my friend who was also body shamed and discriminated against? JIM - the manager - has blocked us from Facebook and even removed their reviews entirely. We will not be silenced. I have already contacted many local news sources about this.

    I just purchased my wedding gown from Casablanca bridal yesterday at Minervas! My wedding isn't until November so I can't post a dress pic yet, but i can share my "said yes photo!" Kim was the absolute best consultant and actually picked the gown for me! I'm in love with the intricate detail, modern, sexy and glam, yet still romantic. This will be perfect for my venue in Orlando, Paradise Cove! Thank you Kim, and Minerva's, and Casablanca bridal for creating such a beautiful gown!

    This dress is perfect for her!

    We were looking for a dress for my daughter's Quince. We couldn't find the perfect shade of pink. We were afraid to buy off the internet without seeing it in person. We went to Minerva's because it had all the designers we liked. When we got there they were very helpful. One of the dresses we were looking for wasn't there but they were able to fit us with the same designer in a similar dress. We were able to determine that one of the dresses they had in store was the one for us. When we picked the dress up they had a tiara and jewelry to match! One stop sho

    I just purchased my bridal gown here and I had a great experience. I visited 4 or 5 different boutiques and hadn't really found a dress that "spoke to me". I decided to make one final attempt to find something I loved before settling on a dress and checked out Minerva's. I noticed that the boutiques have high quality dresses, but the selection is usually limited. At Minerva's, the dresses were boutique quality and the choices are endless. There were dresses at all price points so you can go all out here or stay on a budget. The day I came, Minerva's happened to be hosting Allure Bridal and the designer was actually at the store! She helped me choose some dresses and talked to me about the various styles. Camille was helpful from the very beginning and was very honest about what looked good and what didn't! It was like having a sister or and aunt there for another opinion. I had a wonderful time picking out my dress and found one that I actually "fell in love" with. They rushed my dress and it got here earlier than expected. Great service, great selection, variety of prices!

    Oh Minervas, I really wanted to like you. I'm a short engagement bride looking for short dresses, I know walking into any bridal store my options are limited, so my expectations are super high. Upon walking in (without an appointment), I had a new sales associate try to help me and when I mentioned the short dress hunt she looked like a deer in headlights, claimed she was going to get someone else, and never showed up again. I saw her a few other times in the store and she avoided eye contact. Poor little lamb, I know I scared you, but your lack of customer service ticked me off. A second associate eventually helped me and showed me the only 4 dresses the entire store had in stock... in the Prom section. This associate was helpful and even set the dresses aside until a fitting room opened up, I tried on the dresses, all of which were drastically different in look, and left with nothing. I can say when I called them, it was offered that I could be put in a long dress and have it be altered into a short dress. This was the only time someone offered that option. I strongly believe Minervas is designed for the 12-month and longer engagement plan. They had a variety of long dresses, but as for price points and alteration costs, I don't know. I didnt have the time for an associate to present those options to me like when I was on the phone. Also, whats up with the no photo thing? I did appreciate the hand wipes everywhere!

    This salon is beautiful and my attendant was lovely. I chose this particular bridal shop as it…read morementions extended sizes, and as a gal with some curves, I knew I needed it as I'm not a size 6 off the rack. Unfortunately, that was a very false claim on their website as there were less than 10 dresses to choose from and from a designer they are no longer working with. I was able to squeeze into several dresses and they put material in the back to try and show what it might look like if it closed, but it was very uncomfortable, very unflattering, and not the bridal experience I was hoping for. There were 2 gowns I loved , but neither close to my size so I couldn't get an actual sense what they would look like on my wedding day. There are no other options, you just have to buy the dress (both were around $1800 plus tax and alterations) and pray it actually looks good. That's gonna be a heck no for me. 5 stars for the salon and the personalized attention, 2 stars for the overall experience.

Before I even walked in a noticed that my name was written on their board outside. It made me feel extra excited and extra welcome. The stylist they paired me with for my appointment was Stephany. She was amazing, and I want to be her friend even outside of the store! She first gave me a tour of the entire studio, then personally took me around to each section and helped me pick a dress from each style. We tried one of everything to narrow down what I really liked, and then she picked dresses based on the pieces I kept commenting that I liked. She was spot on with her choices. She even made sure that my mom and sister felt involved in the appointment too. Stephany was perfect at showing every aspect of each dress and highlighting my features and listening to what I want. She even joked around with me, asked me about my fiancé, and just made it an all around fun time. The dresses they have to choose from are all so beautiful. It was hard to even narrow it down to one that I loved. The studio was comfortable and cozy (like my own living room) so I was able to feel right at home. Amazing experience, beautiful dresses, and wonderful customer service!

They kindly allowed one of my guests (MOH) to bring her 1 year old+4 year old. Parking lot is spacious-- I didn't have any issues finding a spot when I arrived 10 minutes prior to my appointment. But it was surprisingly full once I got out of my car closer to my appointment time. We were greeted by Mary, who also turned out to be my stylist for the day. We briefly sat down, answered a few questions, then Mary Godmother started working her magic. Mary was respectful and mindful of my budget, knew what and when to ask me in private (behind the fitting room curtains aka before hearing my hype crew's opinions), has the best personality, and clearly knowledgeable in what she does. I had no EXACT style in mind, but I did have a general idea and some inspos. By the 5th dress I tried on-- I was in shock by how much I immediately loved it. Tried a 6th one then back to the 1st one I really liked, but those felt meh after the 5th dress. Mary asked the right questions with each dress I tried on, actually listened, and ultimately guided me to the perfect dress that left me speechless first then giddy right after. THE dress felt sooo ME and absolutely made me feel like a BRIDE. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Mary! This just happened 5 days ago, so I'll have to post an update on how the rest of my experience goes moving forward and when I get the dress. So far, I am over the moon. FYIs: -When you click "Book an Appointment" on their website, it says "Our wedding gown price point is $1,500-$9,000", but in the store I was told prices start at $1,800. -I had to sign a contract that "All sales are final. No returns, refunds, or exchanges. No exceptions." before giving a payment for the dress. I'm not sure if the ~immediate~ 'final sale' is a standard as this is the only bridal shop I have been to, but I did not expect that to be the case on a non-discounted gown.

    I want to preface this by saying I had a great experience the first time I came here in December,…read morewith Belle 10/10. My full review this time is specifically related to the older stylist who was not helpful at all in my experience. And honestly was very "salesly" and I only tried on one dress the entire appointment. So here goes... A Masterclass in Doing the Absolute Least... I showed up excited to wedding dress shop. I left wondering if I had accidentally interrupted someone's last shift before retirement. We called ahead to see if we could move our appointment earlier and were told, "Sorry, no availability." Totally fine--except when we walked in and the store was so empty it echoed. Eventually, a consultant appeared and asked what kind of dresses I liked. I described exactly what I was looking for and was promptly informed that they had nothing like that in the store, that they were fresh out of lace mermaid dresses. No offer to check. No alternative suggestions. Just a verbal shrug. Meanwhile, my mom--on a completely unrelated journey to the bathroom--managed to stumble upon MULTIPLE dresses in my size (bridal 4) that fot that description. Apparently the restroom route is more fruitful than asking the consultant whose job this is. The only dress I tried on? One I had already tried on a month ago--pulled by a previous stylist (shoutout to Belle, who was actually amazing and clearly carried the entire store on her back). This time, it was a size 6, and I was told it would require $1,000 in alterations to fit me. I am a bridal 4. The math is... confusing. The consultant then graciously pulled exactly one more dress for me. A size 12. She warned me it would be "swimming" on me, as if I hadn't already tried on several size 12 dresses before with zero issue. It seemed like she didn't want to clip me in a bigger dress. It was giving "I'm done for the day and I would like you to also be done." Overall vibe: I felt less like a bride shopping for her wedding dress and more like an inconvenience standing between someone and clocking out. If you're looking for attentive service, thoughtful styling, or even mild enthusiasm--keep walking. If you want to be told nothing exists while standing in a store full of dresses... congratulations, you've found the place. Would not return. Would not recommend. Would suggest the bathroom tour though--it's where the real inventory lives.

I liked more dresses here than at any other boutique I visited. Me and my 2 friends felt welcome from the moment we got there. They were expecting us and ready for my appointment. We were offered mimosas and some sweet treats (drinks were covered due to Covid and felt safe). The prices here are hard to find- nothing is over $1500. (I really don't believe in spending $2000-$3000 on a dress you will wear for a few hours). My wedding is in less than 6 months which meant I had to get something "off the rack" and nothing on there was over $799! Teresa led me to the racks with my size and told me just to choose whatever I liked and she would bring it over for me. No lie, I immediately saw 10-12 dresses that were exactly what I was looking for. Because they were all so nice, I ended up with about 5 favorites. Teresa was patient with me while I tried on every single one at least twice. She also gave her honest opinion and helped me decide what dresses to eliminate based on alterations since I am on a time crunch. The moral of this story is 5 stores and about 50 dresses later, I said YES to the dress!!! Before going to this store, I was skeptical about ever finding "the dress." I live in Miami and drove to Orlando in search of something else and I found it. I'm very happy with my experience and my purchase. I would recommend this store to anyone on a budget (or not).

At the start of the appointment, we were given a brief tour of the store and then expected to pull most of the dresses ourselves. I had done my research ahead of time and even saved specific dresses on Pinterest that I wanted to try. When I showed these to my stylist, I was told they did carry those dresses, but I was still expected to search for them on the floor with my family rather than having assistance pulling options, which felt surprising and frustrating for a bridal appointment. Throughout the appointment, I also didn't feel very comfortable asking for help when it came to adjusting the dress for photos on the pedestal, so my family ended up stepping in to assist instead as most of the time the stylist stood off to the side seeming disinterested and offered no assistance. As the appointment went on, I was able to find a few dresses I liked but wasn't feeling like I had found "the one." I asked my stylist, Heather, for guidance on what else I might try based on the styles I seemed to be leaning toward, but was told there wasn't really anything else to suggest. This was disappointing given the size of their selection. Later, when my mom pulled a couple additional dresses for me to try, I was told I was running low on time and that if I didn't like those dresses, it might not be worth trying them on. The way this was communicated made me feel uncomfortable and rushed, and I ultimately felt a bit awkward continuing the appointment. By the end, I felt stressed and ready to leave, and although I did try on one final dress and revisit one I liked, the experience overall left me feeling disappointed. While I was excited going into Lilly's Bridal, I ultimately left feeling very underwhelmed by the level of guidance and support during the appointment. I hope this feedback is helpful for improving the client experience for future brides.
