I had such a great experience at Wolsfelt's Bridal, and Bea truly made it. From the second I walked…read morein, she made me feel comfortable and relaxed, which is huge because dress shopping can feel... a lot. Bea really listened to me -- not just my words, but my reactions -- and somehow always knew what dress to bring in next. I never felt rushed or pushed in any direction, just supported the entire time. And I have to talk about the prices. After shopping in Chicago, seeing the pricing at Wolsfelt's honestly shook me (in the best way). Beautiful, high-quality dresses at prices that actually felt reasonable and not stressful -- which was such a relief. Most of all, the experience felt personal and fun. Bea was honest, kind, and made the whole appointment feel easy instead of overwhelming. I left feeling excited, confident, and genuinely happy. If you're dress shopping, do yourself a favor and ask for Bea -- she's the best.

My experience with Wolsfelt's Bridal was overall good but there are a few honorable mentions to…read moreremain honest. First off, the dress quality was beautiful and I didn't necessarily feel pressured to hurry up and pick a dress. In the end I made the right decision and when it came time to alter my dress the seamstress I worked with was wonderful. My dress was ready on time and was perfectly pressed. Also notable about my dress - there was a missing piece when I tried it on that went over my shoulders. I wanted some sort of strap so we purchased additional straps, and was not told about the missing piece. When it came in I was confused and the only reason I was able to get a credit towards alterations for the straps price because they "didn't come in" (I don't think they ever ordered them). In the end this worked out better (i loved the missing shoulder piece)! I was also able to customize my dress, so it was unique and just how i wanted it. I really really loved my dress! On the other hand I decided to make it easy for my bridal party and go there for bridesmaids dresses also. Since I purchased my dress there, they would receive a discount. There weren't very many styles, and they sized them incorrectly. My maid of honor was drowning in her dress, almost too much to alter properly. Luckily we got them in time to alter. Mind you their bridesmaid dresses were already much pricier than some other places. Also after all the fees they added on the discount didn't matter, it was even more. In summary, I definitely recommend shopping here for a wedding dress but not necessarily for your bridal party.

Formal Wear Rental Review!…read more My husband and I worked with Gerry from Essence Formal Wear to rent his wedding tux (jacket, pants, vest). Gerry was kind to let my husband come into the store a couple of times to try on the rented pieces with other items he purchased to wear.

I advised him customer service is who gave me his contact info and was given the ok to follow up directly. I asked why the info was conflicting and what would be the best thing to do. He raised his voice and told me to never call his store again and hung up.
