July 2025 - Mona's Boutique and Tailoring is the biggest rip-off place I have ever encountered. I…read morebrought my mother of the bride dress there to be altered and hemmed. When I went back, I was not happy with the length, but she hurried me out and said it was perfect. She charged me a total of $730 for alterations and hemming. After trying it on a few times at home I was still not happy with it, I decided to get a second opinion. I brought it to another tailor in Brick, and they told me Mona ruined the dress. It was not until I went to this second tailor did I realize what a terrible job Mona did for a ton of money, $730. This was a $1500 dress. Mona cut the lace when she was not supposed to. The top of the dress was a botched job. Also, Mona did not take it in correctly around the hip area. Basically, the new tailor must totally re-do the dress again from start. I was so upset but the new tailor is going to do their best to fix it for me for a total of $250. When going back to Mona she was very unprofessional and nasty and would not listen to a word I said. She told me the new tailor was going to ruin the dress on me. Mona just yelled and screamed at me and kicked me out. I would never want anyone else to experience this. I was naive and did not know any better and I got screwed. Please be careful and do not go to Mona's Boutiques and Tailoring. Please do your research.

Went to this shop with my daughter who needed her bridesmaid dress altered. My daughter is very…read morethin and ordered the smallest size xs. When my daughter tried the dress on and came out of the dressing room Mona looked at the dress on her and said that it was too much material to take in and told her to order a size smaller. She did not care that it was the smallest size possible. If she was truly a seamstress she would have taken in the dress where it was needed but I guess it was too much work for her and she did not want to do it. I will NEVER go back to her shop again.

It is a surprising store with a great selection of formal wear that you can rent or buy. The owner…read morehas been in the business for over thirty five years is friendly courteous and will help you plan your outfits for your wedding or formal engagement. The best thing about this establishment is that it is fully stocked with inventory and accessories and alterations, if needed, are done upon pickup to insure the proper fit and look you desire. They also have an on premises seamstress who will alter your garments to your liking. My spouse had a dress altered with the hem and straps altered to make the dress look fabulous. They do take appointments and this a good idea since it was quite busy when we were there. You get great quality, service and a competitive pricing.'

When I called back, she literally told me she did not want to rent me the costume and how dare I ask to see it. I was speechless!! Which makes me believe the costume was not in good shape and wanted me to pay up front without seeing it!! Who buys something without seeing it??? Not me!! So please be aware before renting from Arlene's , a truly awful experience , from a most unprofessional establishment

What a great experience. I walked in looking for a tux, I thought I was going to be pushed into…read moresomething I didn't like and charged $5000 for it. Boy was I wrong. A younger gentleman named Andy came out, I told him what I was looking for. He started on the clearance rack (surprisingly) but I did not like the cut of what he had in my size. His boss (Nina?) walked over and said Calvin Klein is on sale and it had the slimmer fit I was looking for. While we waited, the place got mobbed with kids coming in for prom tuxes. Andy did not venture off, he stayed with me. Helped me find what I needed and I was comfortable with. Nina weighed in and offered some alterations. They weren't pushy, they were funny and professional. A super nice experience all around.

I rented several pieces of equipment for a party; helium tank, pretzel display, hot dog cart,…read morecotton candy and popcorn machine, both with carts. All the machines were fantastic, but I ran into issues with the company coming to pick it up. I rented a community center for our party, so we had to be out of there by Sunday. It's Monday morning and the equipment is still at the community center. I was told they would be there by 6-7pm on Sunday and I waited but they were a no call-no show. I'd like to mention that I originally ordered a nacho cheese machine but I couldn't find the proper bag of cheese to fit it. I called an explained this to them and they were gracious enough to take it off my order even though it was less than 24 hours before the party. That is when I asked if I could get the popcorn machine and cart and pay the $50. difference. Again, graciously they accommodated me. My only issue is the pickup of said equipment. I spend over $600 and made sure to pay the delivery/pickup fee as well so that I could insure the fact that I would be out of the rented facility. When I called them on Sunday to ask when the items would be picked up, they originally said Monday or Tuesday. I expressed my need to vacate the premises on Sunday and that is when I was told 6 or 7 that evening. Finally, they called this morning. Not only did the woman on the phone have an attitude, but she threw in my face that I altered the contract. Yes I did but they allowed it, and made more money from the switch. My advice to people, do not rely on their pickup services. You will be stuck with fees from a hall rental because they are not in the business for timely pickup.

They didn't show up until moments before the ceremony was about to start and the wedding party and is guests had to help set up because they cut it so close. The bride requested the arbor be set up on the sand and they couldn't do it (wrong type). Now after several of us guests wrote reviews on their FaceBook page they have (Unpublished) the page. Instead of apologies and maybe refund they claim they did nothing wrong ..... poor business practices all around .... think twice before using this outfit

He looked like a million bucks. The man who worked with him was so attentive, and he really felt special. My daughter would kill me if I posted a pic of her in her dress, but it was lovely. But I'm putting a pic of my son getting fitted and then going to the dance.
