I've purchased two dresses at Mann's. The first was in 1994, for my eighth-grade graduation. The…read moresecond was in 2005; it was a bridesmaid's gown for my best friend's wedding. She bought her gown there and received excellent service and attention from the staff--they fawned over her. I found the women working there to be dismissive and rude to us bridesmaids who together were spending nearly as much on our dresses as the bride was on hers. I do not live in the area any longer, but I'd be disinclined to shop there based on the customer service I received as a lowly bridesmaid.

I stopped by on a whim with a friend on our way to check out a venue. Boy was I pleasantly…read moresurprised!! I was expecting outrageous prices, but every dress I picked out was extremely reasonably priced, lower than I was expecting and very below my budget. I tried on maybe 4 dresses in a rush, but Cecile was professional, kind and warmhearted. I'm making an official appointment for a few weeks from now to try on more dresses with my entourage. I'm excited to head back and pick out my dress! I would highly recommend Mann's House of Brides to anyone who would rather help support a local business over a national chain for a wedding dress. And they rent tuxedos too!

Makayla did such an excellent and thorough job, getting me in for two separate fittings, with just weeks to go before the ceremony (out of town). She really took her time and made sure every detail was paid attention to, bustling me up to make sure everything evenly touched the ground and the train was still intact, etc. She even recorded a video of herself doing up the bustle and talking through it so I could show my maid of honor the morning of the wedding so there was no confusion. Something else that she did that I was really touched by was that she saved all the lace trimmings from the alterations and kept them in the bag with the dress. I ended up wrapping this lace around my bouquet and it matched everything so perfectly, and added a little bridal touch! Again, I was not expecting that and it just shows how she thinks of everything. Also, the cost to get it altered was extremely reasonable, which was a breath of fresh air, considering every other vendor seemingly likes to triple the cost of anything when you say the word "wedding." Altogether I was super happy with my experience and I will be recommending this place to every Idaho bride that I know.

Taylor was my consultant and she was great - helpful, to the point, and let me take some time to think about the dresses I had tried on rather than trying to get me to purchase one before leaving. I was also impressed with the selection (mostly "in the back") of the dresses they had in my budget which was $500 or less. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend this place for a bridal dress appointment!

If you have a positive attitude and want to have an awesome experience while looking for a dress, and let's be honest, play dress up, you need to ask for Sam. We love sparkles, glitz, glam, and laughter.

We were a little early to her appointment, so they had us kind of hang by the bridesmaid dresses. The salon is a little dated, but they've added things like a feature wall and velvet covered furniture to try and modernize it. But, ultimately all that matters is the dresses, and they really delivered! We were the only ones there, which was nice. Amanda, the owner, was our stylist and she was SO SWEET! The most cheerful, excited stylist we experienced in our daylong dress shopping event. She truly made it so nice. The bride was allowed to help pick some options, but the guests were asked to remain seated. Which is still hard, but I appreciate the Covid protocol! The first dress the bride tried on was actually one she had tried elsewhere, but she didn't recognize it when it was on. They were able to fit it to her so much nicer. They pulled a lot of different styles for her to make sure she got to sample all of what she was eyeing. They really hit the mark! They had some really great ways of helping the dress fit too, aside from just a clip or holding it. We were able to get a full vision of what the dress will look like on her day!

My friend had made an appointment here for a wedding dress, after a full day of lovely experiences…read moreat other bridal shops in town Bridal Collections left a distinctly bad taste in our mouths. We had a 3PM appointment which began with a long wait to even be seen. Her stylist looked at photos of my friend's top contenders and told us "Yes, we should be able to find you something." One of the greatest parts of our dress shopping experience at other shops was when our stylist had intimate knowledge of their inventory and their ability to pull dresses that matched my friend's taste. So when the stylist went from asking for pictures to turning us loose in the store, we were taken aback. For $50 we were asked to look through their inventory and waste our appointment time. From here the stylist spent the rest of the appointment balancing between nonchalance and complete indifference. Having my friend remove gowns from their plastic covers and replacing them. After a painful hour and a half my friend did find a dress she was interested in, but after the experience she didn't want to purchase a $2k dress from somewhere she felt unwelcome.

Chandra isn't just some minion at a big flower shop, she puts her heart and soul into her work and it shows. Not only is her work amazing, she knows how to adapt to fit a budget while still making stunning arrangements. She is creative, positive, professional and an excellent communicator for her clients.
