Everything about the experience was great, Susan and her assistant were very knowledgeable, kind and had so much experience. Her dresses are so beautiful, she definitely has something for everyone. 1000% recommend to any future brides read more

Susan helped me find my wedding dress for my special day. She has a good selection of dresses and very beautiful for a great price!! She was nice and helpful through the whole appointment. But she does say her opinion a lot though. I can see how some people could get offended by them. But if you're on a budget, she will work with you. The only thing I would say is if you need to use the restroom, go before you get there!! The location is super easy to find. It's more of a private ranch than a warehouse. Overall, it was a good experience and found my wedding dress at a good price! read more

My friend went to try on wedding dresses here and it was the worst experience. We kept telling the owner what she wanted and she brought nothing like what we asked for and blamed it on my friend's "size". A dozen times throughout her fitting she made comments like this and during a time when my friend should be feeling like the most beautiful woman in the world she was berated and made to feel bad about herself. Not only did she body shame my friend the entire time but she advertises as "no pressure" and "discounted" but pressured her the whole time into getting dresses my friend clearly was not happy with and suggested that she get it altered to make it look like a dress that she actually likes. What is the point in getting an "affordable" dress if you have to pay thousands in alterations to make it something you are happy with? I immediately booked her an appointment at a different wedding dress boutique where they made her feel like the queen she is and had dozens of dresses in ALL sizes that were beautiful and exactly what she was looking for. read more

Susan and her assistant are amazing!!! She had an incredible selection of dresses in the perfect size. We were able to find a gorgeous, never worn before vintage dress at a great price. She made my daughter feel very comfortable as if they were old friends. Her expertise made this experience very enjoyable. read more

I came in with high expectations because in other reviews many had mentioned the variety of dresses and the helpfulness of Susan. As soon as we arrived she sat me and my party down and wanted to see pictures of dresses I had tried on and liked. She then proceeded to have me try on dresses that looked like nothing I was asking for. She is very opinionated and continued to make comments about my body. She also did not leave me to change on my own and did not allow me to look at any dresses. She chose out everything and when I continued tell her that I didn't want this style she mentioned we would have to go upstairs but said it as if it would be a hassle. We finally went upstairs but refused to let me bring my party upstairs with me because it would be "too crowded" even though the upstairs room was 2x bigger than the one we were in. We went up and she only allowed me to try on two dresses and ended the appointment there. She tried to convince me heavily on the last dress and said I could just pay to get it completely altered to my liking. Which why would anyone do that, might as well order a custom dress. The overall experience made me stressed and feeling awkward. read more

Wedding dress shopping can be exciting and fun, but the cost can be so stressful. Susan was amazing. I sent her some photos of my daughter in dresses that she leaned towards and when we arrived, Susan was ready for us. The dresses she chose for the bride were exactly to her liking, and since she asked for her size, height, and weight, she had the dresses in her size! We walked out with the dress and saved thousands of dollars! The day was a complete delight and the bride found the perfect dress. read more

We drove way out our way to go here and everything was a big disappointment. It is not a bridal warehouse but is in a large home on private property. The dressing room is just a room divider and a few chairs for your guest. My daughter called ahead to see if she even carried the type of dress she was looking for and the owner said she did. She insisted on being with my daughter as she undressed (which made her very uncomfortable) while she made rude comments about her body. She picked out dresses for her to try on that were nothing like what my daughter had described. After several body shaming comments we were out of there and my daughter was done for the day. A day that was supposed to be fun and exciting turned into a day that killed her self-esteem. It's not worth saving a few dollars for an experience like this. read more

Susan was amazing and helped me pick out my dream wedding dress! It was sold to me off-the-rack, under my budget, no alterations needed, and it was plus-sized! She has 2000 dresses in stock and during my 2 hour appointment, we first sat down and she asked me when my wedding is, what is my dream dress, and what is my budget. I told her my budget was $700 and she did not upsell me on a single dress and every dress I tried on was within my budget. I first showed her a picture of my dream dress so she pulled 4 dresses for me to try. Every single one of them fit, without me having to even tell her my size - all she asked me for was my bra cup size. I tried five dresses on total, and I just knew the last dress I tried on was "the one." The dress I picked was $600, so it was even less than my max budget of $700. I am so happy to say I said, "yes to the dress!" It's a drive, but we'll worth it. Highly, highly recommended! read more

Based on the recommendations of Yelpers, and my desire to find the perfect dress, I decided to make the 2.5 hour trek to visit Wedding Warehouse in hopes of locating my wedding gown at a bargain price. Sadly, I was super disappointed. At first, I was immediately impressed with the amount of inventory when I walked through the door, but after going through some of it I was not impressed with the selection, nor the pricing. While they have a lot of different things in stock, and in many different sizes, most of the dresses are either cream/off white/ivory, out-dated (Sequins, ruffles, bows...oh my!) or very cheaply made. However, on a positive note, they do have a large amount of plus size gowns, and unlike many bridal stores, they have dresses available in many sizes - so if you need to find a dress (even if you're curvy!), you can walk out the same day with something in your size. Another recommendation - despite all the dresses being sorted via size, I did find some dresses that had been restocked in the wrong size area - so if you find something you like but it's not in your size, have your friends help you scour the place - you may be lucky and find it hiding in another section! :) Also, they have modest styles! read more

With our wedding approaching quickly, we were worried about finding the perfect dress. So grateful we found Susan. Her shop was inviting and comfortable. The number of dresses to choose from was pleasantly surprising. She was dead on with sizing as well as the perfect style. Thank you Susan for making our time there so memorable! read more

I would highly recommend Wedding Warehouse! Being an mature bride I was really stressing about finding a dress for my wedding that was just around the corner. Susan was amazing!! She knew what I was looking for and found several options for me. I found my dress that same day and she saved my a lot of time and money. So happy I found her read more

Susan is wonderful! You can tell she knows wedding dresses inside and out! She is a delight to work with and I appreciated her honesty and willingness to share her insights. It is refreshing to have someone be honest about how a dress looks on you and she makes sure you are happy with your choice! Her prices are also incredibly reasonable. I would wholeheartedly recommend going to her if you're in the market for a wedding dress! read more

I was recommended this place from a friend that purchased her dress here a few weeks prior, and let me tell you it was the best recommendation! Seriously, I wish I hadn't even bothered with my first visit to David's bridal. Susan is seriously AMAZING, she's kind, funny, and she can pick your perfect size by just looking at you. I loved that there was a comfy seating area for my grandmother and sister to relax while I tried on dresses, and the private one on one appointment in a more relaxed and intimate setting just made it that much more special. She actually helped me dress in the gowns instead of leaving me alone to figure out how to put everything, on which can be stressful for me, and I was extremely relieved by that. She has a huge and wonderful selection and she has everything from dresses to accessories, you name it she's probably got it! She helped me find my perfect dress and veil at an unbeatable price, and just made the experience so stress-free and pleasant. Seriously go here first and support an amazing local business, you won't regret it!! read more

My family and I drove an hour away specifically to look at this shop for wedding dresses. I had called in advance earlier in the day, and was advised to make an appointment due to the fact that they only have one dressing room. We got there at 4 on the dot, just in time for my appointment. There was still a previous appointment taking up the only dressing room, so we decided to collect some dresses in the meantime until she finished. Well, she didn't finish and I ended up having to try on dresses in a very small closet area that is not suitable for trying things on. The dresses were unique, but honestly the trying on experience was enough for me to be lackluster. Not to mention, the lady there never even apologized that even though we were on time for OUR appointment, we wouldn't be getting the dressing room. Instead, she was just very pushy, and everything we tried on she kept urging alterations. I did end up finding a dress that I liked, but the size and price on the bag seemed misplaced because the bag said size 6 and the dress was a 12. So I asked the lady if it was priced wrong because I was interested in purchasing it. She said whatever price is on it is correct, and I felt like she downgraded my question and didn't even look into it for me. While the dresses are unique and definitely affordable, the service you get with it is cheap as well. I've never had to change in a stock closet... Until now. read more

We drove over an hour to get here and then were very disappointed. They had a great inventory of dresses, but she insisted on being in the dressing room (stating policy) and watching me disrobe. I can't imagine anybody would be comfortable in this situation. Don't waste your time coming out here. read more

Susan was amazing to work with! This was the first and only place we visited for a wedding dress, and within 2 hours, we found a perfect fit. Susan helped us figure out what style we were looking for, find the right cut and fit, and even had a veil that perfectly matched my dress! It was private, just me and my parents, and not dealing with a busy salon and many other people made the whole process much simpler and less stressful. And on top of it all, we found a gorgeous designer dress and veil for only $950 for both! It was incredible. I would definitely recommend Susan to any budget- or fashion-conscious bride. read more

I loved shopping here. Letty helped me and she was great! Lovely dresses and alot are vintage. Would definitely recommend.

Had a last minute alteration need to a bridesmaid dress I had. The original dress was 3 inches too short, and limited options with how to fix it. The ladies at Wedding Warehouse worked a miracle and added the desired length to the dress without compromising the style of the dress. They did this super fast (2 days!) and for a reasonable price! Will be using their services in the future and I recommend them if you are in the West Valley! read more

I have searched 3 different davids bridal, almond tree, nordstrom, brilliant bridal, and many more and couldn't find a dress that would fit my style and petite Body, and that wouldn't break my bank. Even if you find a good deal at David's bridal, you end up spending over $400 just on alterations. At strictly weddings i finally found my dress, for an outstanding price, and alterations was an amazing deal. Though, i could not have done it without mimi and lettie. Mimi has amazing customer service, and helped me find what i was looking for. She know exactly what i wanted, and her personality made my experience. Lettie was very knowledgeable and showed me how the dress would look once altered, and mimi and lettie together were so entertaining, i absolutely love them! read more

Let me start by saying I'm going to stick to facts on this review and not my emotions surrounding the experience. I wandered into this shop one evening on a whim after seeing an ad on Facebook. I wasn't interested until I found a pink Justin Alexander ball gown. Unfortunately, it was waaaaay too small for me and I was going to put it back. At this point, one of the employees informs me that they could use extra fabric to reconstruct the bodice. I was very tempted by the idea so I put down $200 for layaway. I returned to the store to show my mother the dress. I put on the dress at their seamstresses urging to show my mom how it would look (because she didn't like it). Of course I simply fell in love with it at that point and was once again reassured that they could make the bodice my size without losing the integrity of the design. It would have to be paid in full for the alterations to begin. I shelled out $822 that night and said I would be returning by March 13th, which is when I would like to see the alterations. I went back to California and over a month passes. I hadn't heard anything from them and was due to be back in AZ in two weeks time. I recruited my sister and mother to go to the store for me to see what was going on. The lady at the front informs them that NOTHING had been done on the dress because they had been busy and my wedding isn't until December. She then assures them that the dress will be ready to see when I get there on the 13th. On the 14th I call because, of course, I hadn't heard from them. I am once again informed that the dress isn't done and wouldn't be until the 22nd. When I arrive in town, I go to the shop on the 16th, to check to see why I didn't have my dress. I'm informed the dress isn't in the store, that the seamstress took it home. This all seemed so fishy and unprofessional but hey, maybe it's normal. Im angry but I leave the store.My sister calls them at my urging and asks to speak to the owner, who isn't there because she is only in on the weekends. At this point I want my money back, my dress is three days late. Three very long drawn out conversations ensue with the owner. She says we NEVER gave her a date, just said March. Her employee tells her my mother and sister never went into the store to speak to her two weeks before. So, I ask her if she's calling me a liar....oh no of course not "I don't recall you giving me a date, I wasn't there". She indeed was there. She in fact spoke to me about me buying a second custom gown from there for my reception dress. I am not getting a single cent back from this lady, since apparently she had to pay the seamstress overtime to get the gown done by the 18th...5 days late. I yell at her after she chastises me for allowing my sister to speak to her on the phone first ( i have severe phone anxiety with strangers), I was present and listening while she was on speaker phone. She was condescending and spoke to me like I was a child. I informed her I wasn't a child so do not speak to me like one. She responds with "I'm 73 years old, I'm old enough to be your mother". What? Who on this earth says that to a customer? Then she says that maybe there was a misunderstanding as " the best seamstresses in Arizona are Mexican" suggesting the language barrier is the problem, not blatant incompetence. My sister is listening to this and calls her a four letter word. Ugh not something I would do but I can't control her. I inform the owner that my mother spoke to her employee IN SPANISH, (which she speaks perfectly) so there was no misunderstanding. She informs me half way through the conversation that she is recording the whole thing. What kind of business do you run that you would even think of recording a call with a customer? I just want to get off of the phone. I agree to go in on the 18th. The dress had been ruined for me by these liars. When I arrive for the fitting, we are ushered into her office. She informs me that, once again, she is going to record the conversation. I then receive a basic transcription of our previously recorded conversation. Who does stuff like that? She then begins her 20 minute monologue, I was told not to speak until she was done. I get tired of her basically reiterating everything she had said on Friday. We never gave them an actual date blah blah blah. That the dress is done and ready to wear. According to her it's beautiful and absolutely what they had promised me. I inform her that I'm not wearing the dress and will most likely sell it. We go to the showroom floor, I quickly glance at it and ask for it to be bagged up. When I get home, I put it on. The dress has been destroyed. The pleats are sewn down, which was not how it was supposed to be. The front seam is laughably crooked. The zipper is cheap and bright white. I gave it away to a bride who was willing to fix it. I was bamboozled out of 1k by the owner, plain and simple. read more

HORRIBLE customer service. AVOID AT ALL COST!! There is no reason to treat customers with disrespect, especially on such an important occasion! read more

I found my dress, the customer service was excellent. They didn't waste my time. They were attentive and caring. I felt very comfortable with the entire experience. They have a greater selection than some of the the other places out there. read more

While looking for wedding dresses I went everywhere or at least I thought. I went to this place because I saw great reviews, i figured I had tried every place why not give this place a try. Well when I arrived the owner was the one who helped me, it was alright everything seemed fine she promised nothing but the best, the ladies who worked for her would do miracles with the fixing and alterations. My dress really didn't need much fixing just the length and the puff needed to be lifted, anyway, I went in a few weeks later to try on the dress assuming it'd be fixed since it wasn't much that it needed, the dress was VERY POORLY cut on the bottom you could see the cut marks all around, the stitching to pick up the dress were horrible and the color of the thread didn't even match. I have to say this was by far the worse experience I never thought my wedding dress would be this poorly fixed. I went in for the last time today after miss Letty promised to fix everything she ruined on the dress only to find miss Maria there telling me she had no knowledge when to begin with she was the person I spoke to about the alterations. No one assumed responsibility and the owner was no where to be found since it is holiday season. This was all a nightmare although the dress wasn't too expensive it wasn't 10$ dollars either. So sad and disappointed with this place I don't wish this upon anyone since the wedding dress is the most important part of your dream wedding. Never would I recommend this place to anyone. Avoid cheap because it turns out worse in the end. Lesson learned. read more
