Would give no stars after the unprofessional email I received. Online I made one appointment for Sunday. Then made another appointment for Monday. Their system kept rescheduling my Sunday appointment for Monday. So I canceled it. And made a new appointment for Sunday. Then that's when they sent the email. I've been to this place in person with no appointment made, and the girl who helped us had lack of knowledge of everything and kept asking questions to her coworkers.

Completely dissatisfied with the mess this place is. As part of a recent bridal party, we purchased our bridesmaid dresses at the store. Dress fitting went well but things went downhill after that. Our dresses were supposed to arrive in mid-February and while we understand the delays, receiving different information every time we reached out was extremely frustrating. The bride was asked to reach them via text, her messages when unanswered.
The bridesmaids called & received conflicting information. I hope the owners & management can work to find a solution to their many communication problems. We are sharing our awful experience and making sure to warn people we know about the bad customer service. Be careful!

Sal made my bridal fitting experience exceptional! He picked up on all the ques on what I wanted to help me find my dream dress! I would highly recommend going here, their inventory was larger and more diverse than any other shop I went to. (AND I WENT TO A LOT OF THEM!) In my opinion you would miss finding your dream dress if you went anywhere else!

I love coming here. Everyone was a big help in my recent visit to this place. Carmen was a big help, she was able to show me the big selection of dresses they have. They made my bridal experience just perfect. If I could give these guys a better rating, I would. Ive already referred them to someone I know who's getting married soon.

I bought my wedding dress here, and the experience was perfect. Everything went just as I had hoped. When I came in for my appointment, I didn't have to wait long. The small alterations that were needed for my dress were done without any issues. I was very impressed with how everything went.

Came here as a bridesmaid. Our stylist Lauren immediately greeted our bride with an upbeat attitude and was very helpful! We were made to feel like a priority our entire session and she was very attentive to our bride's every desire (likes and dislikes, etc.) with a large variety of dresses we found THE one! for our beautiful bride. Sal was so helpful with our bride's veil, and the seamstress Mojan was able to fit the bride into the schedule even on very short notice (Same day even. On a Saturday no less!) Best service we have received in all the bridal shops we have gone too in San Diego by far! Thank you Bridal and Veil I will be recommending this to everyone I know!
