Fontana Bridal has a wonderful selection of dresses and they really do make every effort to partner with you on timing and pricing. Corey Fontana (one of the owners) was incredibly patient with me as I kept reaching out (and was nervous) about my dress coming in on time. I am planning a wedding for 6 months post engagement - so I was quite a nervous nelly when it came to waiting a few months for my dress.

I think part of my nervousness was not fully understanding the process. Every dress is custom made. Once the manufacturer makes a delivery commitment, there is little that the retailer (any retailer) can do in terms of finding out the status of the dress. They can follow up a little better around the time the dress is expected to arrive.

My dress did arrive within a week of when I was informed that it would. I showed up for my first fitting, during which Corey, and several other staff members (including Lulu and Ardianna) came to check in and help me out. Ardianna worked a miracle as I needed an additional piece for my dress to be more covered for my ceremony.

Fontana's customer service is fantastic - and they are really patient with nervous (and somewhat naturally impatient brides). They've been in business since the 1940s - and for good reason. They are a family run business, and they truly just want to please their customers.

The whole staff at Fontana were great! I was worried about finding a wedding dress that I would be comfortable in and that would be flattering and they helped me find the perfect dress! I wish I could wear it all the time! They did an excellent job with alterations and their friendly service and warm smiles eased any worries. Thank you for all that you guys do!

If you want to feel like a princess and feel that you are the most important person in the world not only on your wedding day but the day you pick out your dress then I would go to Fontana to buy your wedding gown. I first went New York City to search for my wedding gown. I went to Saks 5th ave, Kleinfelds and I felt rushed. My mom wanted to go to Fontana to look for the mother of the bride dress so I went with her. We went there without an appointment. Dana greeted us asked if we needed help and came up with dresses for my mom that she thought she would look good in. Even without an appointment we were given the royal treatment. They asked if I wanted to try on this one gown I had been staring at(I tried it on in the city and loved it but they rushed me out of it and never let me enjoy the dress)and I said no, because I didn’t want to be a bother. After awhile they said you have to go try it. I tried on the gown and I fell in love with it. I wanted to try on another dress to see if I had the same feeling, they gladly let me try on another gown and I knew it wasn’t the one, they said try on the original gown again. I put my dream dress back on and walked out of the room, I started to cry because I knew it was the one. They gave us champagne for me and mom to toast to. After about another half an hour walking around the store in my gown( that they never pressure me to take off) my mom said that’s it we have to get it. Meanwhile they were close to closing time and they never once pointed that out to me or rushed me. I felt as though I was with my extended family, they wanted me to have this gown, they shared the most special moment with me. I could not have asked for a more perfect place to purchase the most important dress in my life. Everyone at Fontana was so unbelievably genuinely nice and happy. They greeted us with warmth and compassion. Dana went out of her way for me, she had so much patience and was just genuinely thrilled to be helping me try on gowns.
