I'll never go back to this store again! I've purchased many gowns over the years and this place is the worst! Sales people ignored me when I was looking for a dress for my daughter's wedding last year. This year they were rude and acted as if I were a bother to them for my son's wedding. I have a few friends that regret giving their business as once the sale is made. you don't exist. Dresses are also overpriced. I ended up going to a shop in NJ and was well worth the trip. Dresses were more current in style and extremely well made. They also served champagne!

Nothing but amazing things to say about this place. I found the perfect wedding dress and Gretchen is the best. She knew exactly how to wow me and the seamstress ladies work magic too. Everyone here is amazing and the experience was great.

Worst bridal shop in the Hudson Valley. They do NOT know how to measure properly and the owners are extremely rude and uncooperative when there is a problem that is actually created by them not knowing how to properly measure. My advice would be to go elsewhere. I'm the mother of the bride and we brought them 10 people and were treated extremely unprofessionally. Steer clear of this one for sure!

I cannot say enough about the service we received from Laura and Kathy. From the time we walked in we were greeted with a smile and were shown around to find the perfect dress. When I found it, they made sure that I loved everything about the dress, took my measurements and ordered me the dress. Said it would get here at the end of June, but called me two weeks later and it was in. I traveled from Albany, NY to go to this dress shop and I was NOT disappointed. I will travel back to them for alterations just because we had such a wonderful experience here. Thank you all so much for making dress shopping such a good experience!

I have a daughter that is a college student in Poughkeepsie NY that is a bridesmaid in her brothers wedding this upcoming summer in Michigan. The bridal shop has been unwilling to help my daughter try on the particular dresses chosen by the bride. It's the only store close that carries the specific designer. I was willing to purchase the dress from their store and have it shipped to Michigan in time for the wedding, however, they were also unwilling to ship the dress to any location other than there store. So disappointing they they couldn't help us out under the circumstances. Now my daughter has to select a dress without trying anything on. Terrible customer service
