Best bridal store in NYC

by MiaMc

I am SO glad I came to Wedding Atelier. I had the best experience working with Jessica. She really listened to what I wanted and found me the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. I feel lucky to have gone through this experience with her I recommend this place to everyone.

Awesome Customer Service

by magetti

Thanks to Jessica at Wedding Atelier I found my dream dress! She was so helpful, supportive & nice and worked hard for me during my brief visit to NYC. I'd recommend Wedding Atelier as the number one NY wedding store to visit. Thanks!!

  • Pros: Most helpful service

Very Happy Customer

by hazalangel

This shop was the best of all the places I went to, including Kleinfelds and Mark Ingram. I would say the only other shop that even came close was Amsale.

Wedding Atelier is clean, small and carries a handful of excellent designers. They will work with you to add details or take away details from your dress. I recommend going early in the day- you'll have the whole place to yourself!

  • Pros: Small, Attentive, Clean, Friendly
  • Cons: Can be $$ but it is worth it

Great experience from beginning to end!

by newyorkwed

I bought my dress at Wedding Atelier from a lovely stylist named Jenna. From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly and given slippers. After trying on a couple of dresses, I quickly fell in love with an Alvina Valenta dress. Jenna was very upfront with me about what could and couldn't be done to the dress as far as customizations. She let me and my sisters take some time to sit and think about it and I couldn't have made a better decision. I needed my dress in kind of a rush and they delivered! My dress arrived a few days ahead of time and my seamstress was very accomodating. Jenna was there to help me through the fittings and she was dead on with everything. My dress was perfect on my wedding day. I can't say enough about this place! Wonderful!

  • Pros: Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere
  • Cons: None

THE BEST SALON; MUST GO HERE!!!!

by AngB

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!!!!

  • Pros: customer service, dress selection
  • Cons: none
