I had a wedding dress emergency and needed a dress in less than one week. I walked in on a very busy Saturday, explained what happened to my dress and why I was there last min, and the whole team rallied to squeeze me in. In between booked appointments, the ladies there were so attentive and understanding. I had my eye on a dress another bride was tring on, and it wasn't one that could be purchased off the rack, but Caitlin saw me eyeing it, went out of her way to see if it was available and could be shipped overnight.they had me try it on and IT WAS PERFECT!
It's everything I wanted and I love it more than my original dress! The ladies at Prevue La Mesa are super stars and saved my wedding. Caitlin got the dressed shipped in 2 days and recommended a great alterations place that could take care of me in just a day or two. I feel so much relief, thanks to the teamwork from everyone that made this happen for me. When I picked up my dress from the store today, everyone was extremely friendly and genuinely happy for me. 5 star service! Thank you!

This store is amazing to say the least! I made appointments for my maid of honor and my mom to get dresses for my wedding. I was skeptical after reading some reviews claiming they only had small size dresses which is NOT true. My mom is a size 16 and there were so many dress options for her! Daniela and Carla took their time to listen to the requests that my maid of honor and mother wanted and they executed it perfectly! Both of them found dresses for my wedding and within their budget! I highly recommend going to prevue they were so much better than we expected! Thank you again Carla and Daniela!

The staff is very busy and for the amount of customers they do miracles, they do everything as quick as possible but with a smile. and I give them a 10 for that. Don't look for a place to sit as it is limited, and it gives more room for ALL the dresses.
