    Perfect! Very professional

    Lexi was my consultant and she was amazing. Listened to what I wanted and what my family wanted. She deff knows what she's doing, and doesn't pressure you at all!

    Amazing experience!

    I had my first ever dress shopping experience. My consultant was Lexi and honestly I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Lexi made me feel so comfortable during trying on dresses and made me feel so beautiful. she is so caring and I loved every minute of working with her. All of the selections that were available in the shop were so beautiful as well. Overall such a great experience. I said yes to the dress at Athenas Bridal !!!

    Athena's Bridal Boutique's reply:

    Thank you SO much Clarissa! We are so happy for you and had such a great time with you in our boutique!! We wish you all the happiness in the world!!

    Seamlessly Stress Free

    The most perfect experience I could ever ask for. From the moment I emailed them initially to the moment I walked out the door after my appointment, everything was seamless and stress free. Lexy was a wealth of knowledge! She is incredibly good at her job. She took all of the anxiety and stress of finding the dress away immediately. Not only does she know what she’s doing but she’s so kind and welcoming too. You won’t regret booking an appointment here, highly recommend!

    Athena's Bridal Boutique's reply:

    Thank you so much Katie. This means the world to us. We LOVE when our brides are happy and have the best experience possible. That is why we love our jobs! We are so happy for you and know you are going to make a beautiful bride! Thank you for trusting in us.

    The ideal wedding dress store

    The people, the dresses, and the prices are all a brides dream. The quality of the dress I bought was SIGNIFICANTLY better than the dresses I have tried on at other stores. The price was also much less then other stores as well. This was the ideal place to go for a wedding gown.

    Athena's Bridal Boutique's reply:

    THANK You Melanie!! We can't tell you how much we appreciate this. We are so happy for you and are thankful you came in to see us!! You will be making such a beautiful bride! We look forward to seeing you for your fittings. Thank you again! xo

    Within budget

    It can be a struggle to dress shop and have your budget completely ignored. Not here! They found exactly what I wanted right at my budget point. They were flexible when I had other dress spots that day and even stayed a few extra minutes so I could get back and pick the dress I found there. The store is nothing fancy from the outside but they had a great selection of gowns that were my style and fit my price point. Lexy was friendly and efficient

    Athena's Bridal Boutique's reply:

    Hi Lauren, thank you so much! We are so happy for you that you found your perfect gown! We really appreciate your review and we just love when our brides are happy! We look forward to seeing you for your fittings :) Congratulations again!

    Donna was amazing

    I finished lunch early and Donna was able to accommodate seeing me an hour earlier than planned. She listened to everything I wanted and the second dress I tried on was the one. She felt it, I felt it and everyone around us felt it. She helped me try on other dresses and eventually go back to THE ONE! She was very helpful, honest with the way the dresses looked on my body and listened to everything I wanted. Highly recommend!!

    I Said Yes

    Athena’s was the perfect place to find my dream dress. As soon as we arrived, Donna was so helpful and went right to work finding out what style I liked and I ended up choosing the first dress she showed me (not the first I tried on though). She knew exactly what I was looking for when even I had some uncertainty around it. She also helped me look at dresses that I normally would have thought were not going to fit my body type (I’m plus size and worried about how I’d fit in the dresses and undergarments and whatnot). She was honest and gave me her opinion when she didn’t think something flattered my body type which was helpful because I have a tendency to say yes to please people, but she steered me in the right direction to choosing what I really wanted. Im so happy with the dress I found, and the price. And I even found a veil I love to go with it. Everything was perfect and I would tell any bride to let Athena’s help you Say Yes!

    Athena's Bridal Boutique's reply:

    Hi Ashley! Oh my goodness, where do we start!! First off, what a FUN group!! We immediately knew it was going to be a great time with all the matching shirts!! We enjoyed having you all in but mostly we loved watching you say YES to the ONE!! We are so happy for you and can't wait to see what a beautiful bride you are going to be!! Thank you for trusting in us at Athena's!!

    Amazing Experience!

    I went to Athena’s Bridal to shop for my wedding dress (my wedding isn’t until April 2024); the consultant was very sweet and knowledgeable. I found my dream dress! I would highly recommend coming here, everything was so smooth.

    Amazing!!!!

    My experience at Athena’s bridal was amazing. Donna went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress. When I showed Donna what kind of dress I wanted she told me they had one in the back that just came in that she thought would be the perfect dress for me. After trying on that dress, it brought tears to my eyes. I knew right then that I found my wedding dress. Thank you donna for be so amazing and making this experience so special for me! I highly recommend Athena’s bridal!

    Athena's Bridal Boutique's reply:

    Thank you Rebecca!! I remember seeing you when you put that gown on and it was magical! We are so happy for you and we appreciate your kind words! We love when our brides are happy, that means we have done our jobs right!! Congrats to you and we look forward to seeing you for your fittings!! Thank you for trusting in us at Athena's :)

    Found my wedding dress here!!

    I was shopping for my wedding dress and had a good experience at one shop and a terrible experience at another. I wanted to check out one last place before going home and called Athena’s. They told me I needed an appointment, but to come in and I was only a 5 minute drive away. I showed up and was treated with the utmost respect, honesty, love and true passion for helping me. I found my dress and I absolutely love the mother-daughter duo here!! What an amazing experience!

    Wedding Dress

    The first time I went to Athena's, it was like a dream come true. They listen to you about the dream dress you want, and will pick it right out. Athena was the only place that was able to pick out the dress right away. Unfortunately, I was a new bride so I did not say "Yes" to the dress. I still kept pictures of the dress I fell in love with. I went to Athena's the second time to try on a different dress, but I did not love the dress. I actually ended up asking to see the first dress, and THANKFULLY they were able to find it in the back, since it was a dress no longer on display. I SAID YES after trying it the second time.

    Athena's Bridal Boutique's reply:

    Thank you so much Kangzong. We are so happy for you!!! You are going to make such a beautiful bride! We are just glad you made it back to us so you could say YES to the right dress!! Thank you for trusting in us at Athena's!! We appreciate you.

    Unforgettable!

    I am SO happy we went to Athena’s! Donna (I believe), the manager, helped me say yes to the dress. She was by my side through the whole thing, offered incredible and honest advice, and felt like family! We will recommend Athena’s 10/10 times!

    Amazing experience

    I walked into Athena’s bridal not expecting to find anything, and everyone was so wonderful from beginning to end. I ended up finding the dress I wanted with an amazing price point too. Athena’s worked with my budget since I bought a dress off the rack, I would highly recommend this store for anyone looking to shop for a special occasion or wedding. I tried on four dresses and ended up going with the original one my stylist chose for me. I did not have an appointment and yet was accommodated and felt very well taken care of.

    Athena's Bridal Boutique's reply:

    Thank you so much Amira!! We really appreciate this. We are so happy for you and are thrilled you came into see us! You will make such a beautiful bride!! We feel honored to be a small part of your special day! xo

    Amazing Service working with Donna

    Donna was wonderful to work with! We tried on about 15 dresses and I said yes to the first one I tried on. Even though I loved it, she still wanted me to try on the various styles they carry (which is super appreciated she took the time to do this) and allowed me to try on my top 2-3, 3x to really make sure I loved it! Her care and customer service was 10/10 and she really made this big day, a great one!

    Thank you SO much Victoria!! We had such a great time with you and your group! We are SO happy for you and can't wait to see you in your gown!! You are going to be such a beautiful bride!!

    So many beautiful gowns - I said Yes!

    Full disclosure: This was my third bridal shop. I am not a bridezilla, just closer to plus sized which makes it a little challenging to find a variety of choices. Donna was fantastic. She was a wealth of knowledge about all the different styles and designers and specific dresses. I found several dresses that were contenders which was a first, but Donna pulled out one at the last minute and suggested I try it on. It was not a style that I would have thought to try but it ended up being the one! The whole shop was friendly, and clearly knew their stuff, and the prices were a bit more affordable than expected. They were ultra responsive when scheduling my appointment and asked pertinent questions. I would completely recommend Athena Bridal and Donna for anyone looking for the perfect dress.

    Athena's Bridal Boutique's reply:

    Thank you SO much Sonya!! You were a pleasure to have in our shop and we are SO excited for you! You are going to be such a beautiful bride! We thank you for trusting in us at Athena's and we truly appreciate your kind words xo
