I don't know where to begin. Wedding Atelier saved me! I worked with manager Carrie and mai ( the best seamstress ever). I walked in there facing a total dress emergency less than 2 weeks before my wedding. The dress I had orginially ordered at another wedding salon was horrible and in my opinion nothing I could wear. I stumbled upon wedding altelier without an appointment and explained my dress emergency. The staff was beyond helpful and encouraging. I must have tried on 10-15 dresses and found the one! so beautiful. It was strapless but Mai made me the most beautful matching cap sleeve lace jacket that completed the dress. In basically 1 week and 1 day I walked out of there with my perfect dress thanks to the wonderful women who are at this salon. Carried promised me the quick turnaround and she delivered right on time and everything was just PERFECT. This store changed my whole emotional state leading up to my wedding. They are the best and I loved my dress and received soooo many complements on it at my wedding. Unbelievable customer service and Carrie has an unbelievable sense for style and what does/doesn't work for everyone. the best. words truly cannot describe how wonderful this place is and how much they helped me. THE BEST!!!! go here for your dress!!!!

I found it in the internet and I wish I had read some reviews before. I have the worst shopping experience ever, even if it was probably the most important dress of my life. Where do I start? By saying that on my first appointment a girl was crying in her wedding gown, and they didn’t seem to be able to calm her down. That should have been a BIG SIGN FOR ME TO RUN AWAY but unfortunately I bought my dress there to a very nice saleswoman called Andrea. Andrea was not there for my second appointment or ever after--she was fired. And I didnt find anyone nicer after that. My dress arrived in time, but since the sample was so old, the fabric on the new one had a different texture and color, and a HUGE SEAM from the underskirt was showing. It was a big problem, which I marked to May--a very smiley but completely clueless seamstress-- and disgusting Carrie/Julie...manager and sales woman respectively. They told me they could take care of it by ironing it (yeah sure) or adding a piece of fabric (literally a 30 cm under skirt, which made 3 seams to show instead of 1). All through my fittings it became evident that they couldn’t fix it, and then it was when they started saying that it wasn’t their fault, it was the designer's (Cymbeline) and that they couldn’t do anything about it. May was also inept in pulling up the train, so I ended having to cut my train, which I later regretted. To make a long story short: I almost bought a new dress, but in the end I took it to an expert seamstress who actually had to build a new skirt to solve the problem. I threw away the 500 dollars they charged for alterations and had to pay on top of that. Furthermore, I can not explain the level of anguish I went through because of this crappie place. Lesson learned: don’t go here, ever. And if you buy a dress it is better to deal with the designer directly than with intermediaries as this place is

After going into Pronovias and being completely dissatisfied with anything coupled with the" we don't do alterations, we don't do extra beading" line... i proceeded to WA with little faith... As was ABSOLUTELY SURPRISED.. My wedding is in April 09 and was in the store in Sept. i was attended to by a FANTASTIC lady called JESSICA who makes every bride feel wonderful... I completely explained my concept to her and the limitations that we were faced with being i was flying in from Nigeria, Africa and would only be making 1 more trip to NY for my fitting so i needed everything done as quickly as possible.. I found a gress that was OK... but by the time Jessica was done with it, it was my DREAM DRESS... She completely knows her stuff so she gets you very quickly and is quick to go and bring samples very similar to what you are talking about.. I ended up picking my dress on the first day of looking... That left me with plenty of time for my shoes and evrything else.. Jessica proceeded to email me every few weeks keeping me updated on the progress of my veil, headpiece, dress and evrything else.. Getting to NY in Feb and having literally 36hrs for my fitting, they were wonderful.. I got in bright and early and everything was out waiting for me.. All the alterations that could be done without me were done and all i had to do was fit my dress... They were very accomodating as i went in for a 10am appt, went back for a 6pm final fit and picked up the next day at 12pm... Wedding Atelier are completely worth every extra cents u pay... I would recomend tham to my friends and family...
