The World's Best Client Experience

I cannot rave about this establishment enough!! My sister-in-law surprised me by taking me there after getting engaged, and from the moment you walk in the door, it is utter loveliness -- the lighting, the hardwood floors, the scent, the staff's warm welcome. You get treated like a queen! THEN I was given such a wonderfully selected range of gorgeous dresses, all within my price range. My ambassador was so patient, creative, and understanding of my desires for exploration. I had BEYOND the wedding-dress-shopping experience I'd dreamed of my entire life. It was SUCH a special day!! On top of all that, I had a very short engagement and it was going to be tight getting my dress altered and ready in time. I went twice to make my final selection, and once we chose The One, my ambassador talked me through every facet of the process and what to expect. The seamstress did SUCH an incredible job and fit my body perfectly! Because I had so little time, they also saved me by having some veils on hand (my ambassador hooked me up with the most stunning cathedral length veil!! it completely made the look come together) and earrings as well. I didn't have time to hunt down a million things so it was soo wonderful trying on everything together in real time! As if all that wasn't enough, they also PACKED my dress IN my suitcase before I flew out!! I couldn't believe how much they went above and beyond. Every time I'm in their shop I don't want to leave haha. They even have adorable bridal t-shirts and candles, which I purchased and highly recommend :) Thank you SO much Wedding Embassy!!!

Working with the team at Wedding Embassy was very enjoyable. All staff members were friendly and knowledgeable and above all patient with the dress buying process. I was thrilled with my dress and would highly recommend.

The best around!!

I had such an amazing experience at the Wedding Embassy! I had an appointment prior to the wedding embassy that was at an “upscale” store that turned out to be disappointing. The Wedding Embassy actually involved my party in the dress picking process. There were a TON of dresses to pick from, so each person in my group got to use two clothes pins to pin dresses they liked for me. Julie was amazing and caught on to what I liked and disliked about each dress before I could even figure it out for myself! My seamstress Phyllis was absolutely incredible. My family ran into traffic and was late for my first fitting and Phyllis put me immediately at ease, talking me through the process and then just chatting about life in general. It meant the world. Pickup at my last appointment was beyond easy, in and out in minutes. I couldn’t recommend the Wedding Embassy enough!!
