Altar Bridal

Oh my gosh! This place and Nancy were absolutely wonderful. I had 2 other appointments that day but found my dress at Altar. They could not have been sweeter or more exemplary. Nancy took my ideas and found amazing dresses to try on. I actually ended up choosing the one Nancy had hand selected herself for me to try which also happened to be the first one I put on!!! Wonderful and outstanding. I loved this experience so much.

This was the most AMAZING experience!!! I felt like Nancy and Lauren could read my brain throughout the entire appointment! They were so helpful and patient- I just can’t say enough good things! AND I ended up with a dress that I am absolutely in love with- best day ever!

Nancy was seriously the BEST! She was so prepared for my appointment and listened to everything I had to say. I even had a few dresses Willowby and w.too dress I'd been eyeing that they didn't have the in the store, so she ordered them in for me to try on! She truly wanted what was best for me; she even knew when I needed a break from my crew and she pulled me out of the room to take a breather. I would recommend Altar Bridal to any bride, for sure!

Nancy was the best! She made the whole experience so easy and knew the best questions to ask to figure out what I was looking for! All the dresses I tried on were beautiful- they pick dresses very well! They had a lot of options and definitely know their stuff. As someone who went in not having a clue what I was looking for, she was So helpful. Her and Sarah are the sweetest and I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know!

My bridal appointment was with Nancy and she was SO amazing! She asked all of the right questions right from the beginning of the session to understand my vision. She was incredibly knowledgable and friendly, making me feel so comfortable. Her team also did an amazing job at being friendly to my Mother and Bridal Party while I was busy trying on dresses, which I really appreciated. The bridal shop was the perfect balance of beautiful, high-quality dresses yet approachable. She did a wonderful job at respecting the types of dresses I wanted to see, while also offering up some unexpected choices based on what I was responding to. Which ended up totally working, and I found my dress!! A dress I would not have picked out myself. So I am very grateful to her for still taking some risks and showing me her recommendations. Overall, SUCH a positive experience and I would recommend Alter Bridal to any bride!

Sarah and Nancy were INCREDIBLE!!!! I had already been to three shops and tried on countless dress and was quickly losing hope that I would be able to find THE dress. My crew (mom, sister and mother-in-law) were greeted by Sarah and Nancy who both have an infectious energy and will immediately brighten your mood. As I began to try on dresses, I actually fell in love with 3 dresses at first. Nancy and Sarah never rushed me and allowed me to keep trying dresses on until the moment I was hoping would happen…tears filled my eyes as I looked at my mom….I had finally found THE dress! I recommend any Bride go to Altar Bridal!!!

Sarah & Nancy were AMAZING!!!!! In the age of the pandemic, dress shopping can be so dull and discouraging. Before coming to Altar Bridal, my dress shopping experience was exactly that: discouraging. I read reviews online talking about Altar Bridal, and am SO GLAD I called and got a last minute appointment with them. They were PHENOMENAL! Not only did they listen to what I spoke about with regards to my vision, but they also helped me curate a selection of dresses that met that vision. I am so beyond excited that they helped me find THE dress!! I felt like a supermodel. Their dress selections are gorgeous, and they literally invest their time and give so much genuine support the whole time. They made dress shopping in a pandemic feel enjoyable, and that’s something I never thought I’d say. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Altar Bridal is the place to go! These girls have a wide selection of dresses and are amazing at pulling dresses that will look great on you! I would give 10/5 stars if I could!

Altar Bridal is the definition of a perfect bridal store. Sarah and Nancy are some amazing ladies. Nancy had looked at my questionnaire before I got to the store and had ideas of dresses the minute I walked in. She was honest with me when I was trying to make some dresses “the one” when she could tell by my reactions that they clearly were not. I appreciate the honesty because some people would only care about the sale and not the fact that it was not exactly what I was looking for. Sarah and Nancy helped me pick out my dress and I am positive that I could not have found more of a perfect dress anywhere else. I had the absolute best experience at Altar Bridal and would recommend anyone looking for wedding dresses to shop with Nancy and Sarah.

Nancy and Sarah were a dream to work with! They made the entire process so enjoyable and I ended up finding my dream dress at Altar. They were so patient and helpful giving me tips and ideas about dresses that I would have never thought about. They truly made me feel so special and they were completely genuine while doing so. I would highly recommend Altar Bridal to anyone! They have a wide variety of dresses and are so accommodating during the entire process!

Sarah & Nancy were truly amazing! They have such incredible dresses it was hard to say no to any of them, but I knew the second that I put "my dress" on that it was the one for me and they knew it too. They were not pushy and let me come to the decision on my own even letting me try on dresses a few more times just to make sure since it was my first time trying on dresses. They also were so accommodating to us letting me facetime my sister during the appointment since she lives in another country and couldn't be there that day. They made us feel like family and I highly recommend going to Altar Bridal if you are on the search for a wedding dress!

Altar Bridal SAVED my dress shopping experience, and I am forever grateful to them for making this part of the planning process so special. I tried another bridal store the morning before we went to Altar and the experience was not great and left me anxious. The moment we walked into Altar I knew it was different. Nancy welcomed us with open arms and completely flipped the day. She and Sarah made the experience incredible, not only for me but for my bridesmaids and my mom as well. My girlfriends tend to be a little loud and silly and Nancy and Sarah jumped right in having a blast with us. When we found the dress, it was such a magical moment and Nancy and Sarah were just as excited. They are also the ultimate hype team and made me feel like a million bucks in every dress. I need them to follow me everywhere. To top off the experience, the ladies also own Bella Bridesmaids which is a few doors down from Altar. After we found my dress, we hopped down to Bella and booked an appointment for my bridesmaids and got their dresses as well! Both experiences were incredible, and if they can put up with my group of girls, they can do anything. They had fantastic COVID protocols as well - I am immunocompromised, and never once felt at risk or in danger while I was there. They really went out of their way to help us have an amazing experience, I cannot recommend them enough! If you want a fun, exciting, and memorable dress shopping experience, this is the place to go.

I fell in love with a couple of dresses online and NOWHERE in the Kansas City area carried them. Sarah ordered samples in just for me to try on! I tried on other dresses as well while I was in and she was super sweet and helpful and also very knowledgeable. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Everyone at Altar was very friendly and helpful! I had a blast trying on wedding dresses and getting to find my dream dress! Every gown I tried on was beautiful and I loved the experience!

This place is THE place to go to! I tried 3 different bridal stores and at Altar Bridal not only do you find the best deal, but I swear this was THE best service I have ever experienced. They truly make you feel like family! I would recommend this place forever to anyone who asks.

The girls at Altar Bridal were absolutely amazing!!!! I felt so supported & cheered on as I bought my dress. They kept me updated throughout the process, set me up with an alteration, and were very responsive to my questions!! Cannot say enough wonderful things about Altar Bridal!!!

This is exactly the bridal experience I was looking for! Nancy was listened to my wedding vision and selected dresses that fit my vision and body type perfectly. She knows her inventory! She has a process for finding/selecting the perfect dress that really hones in on likes/dislikes of individual dresses. Trust her opinions-- sometimes what a dress looks like on the hanger is totally different than on your body! I ended up with a style dress that I would have missed out on if I didn't trust her expertise. Thank you, Nancy!

I am SO impressed by these ladies. I understand my experience trying on wedding dresses was unusual given the circumstances of COVID-19 but Sarah and Nancy made it so incredibly wonderful. They provided great help and service and made the process so easy. I was able to order extra fabric from the designer of my dress and that too, was so easy because of their service. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dress. They do a lot of work ahead of your appointment to understand your aesthetic and set expectations and then they awe you while you are there. They also have you try on different styles and understand your body and how dresses will flatter you. I give them 10/10!

Sarah and Nancy were great to work with! They were dedicated to making sure I found my dream dress and shared in my excitement when I did!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Sarah knew exactly what my style was and made the process of finding a dress easy and stress-free. Sarah and Nancy made me feel like family every time I walked into the store!

Shopping for a dress at Altar Bridal was such an amazing experience! Nancy and Sarah were beyond helpful and made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire experience. They are such a fun duo to work with. I highly recommend Altar Bridal!

Sarah and Nancy are absolutely amazing! Altar was my first stop and last! I cannot say enough how beautiful these two people are. They were nothing but patient and helpful. They knew exactly what I wanted before I even did! Choose Altar like I did and you won’t regret it!

Years ago, I used to frequent a coffee shop across the street from this lovely bridal salon and dream about the day I could shop there for my gown. This week, I fulfilled that dream and could not have had a better experience with Nancy and Sarah! With above and beyond customer service and great discounts available, I said yes to the dress without hesitation. Nancy and Sarah are a hilarious and kind mother-daughter duo. They listened to my feedback, graciously accommodated for my budget and timeline, and provided a fun and engaging atmosphere. Altar is an amazing bridal boutique, I would highly recommend.

Sarah and Nancy were beyond amazing to work with. They patiently listened to everything I wanted in a dress and actually ended up bringing me three different dresses that I loved more than I had seen anywhere else! The experience was amazing and they helped me to find my PERFECT dress, all while staying within my budget! Not to mention that they were the perfect hype team as well. I cannot say enough good things about the both of them and Altar Bridal!! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone searching for not only their dream dress, but an awesome experience as well :)

I had the most AMAZING experience working with Sarah and Nancy at Altar Bridal. The store is beautiful and very inviting. Sarah truly cared about my needs and finding the perfect dress. If you are shopping for a dress in Kansas or Missouri, you have got to visit Altar Bridal!

Sarah & Nancy were AMAZING! Nancy had ideas for dresses before I even walked into the store, and was so patient with me throughout the process. I truly appreciate how she asked me & my friends how I felt/looked in the dresses rather than telling us. She's a very effective & kind communicator. When I found a dress, Nancy & Sarah were just as excited as I was, and that was a truly meaningful experience. Nancy was also very intentional about staying within my budget.

Sarah and Nancy not only listened to what my vision was for my dress, but also brought additional ideas and recommendations to help bring my dress together. I couldn’t be more happy with my decision to go with Altar Bridal.

I really appreciated the owner Sarah was willing to come in on her weekend to help me- My weekends are Sunday-Monday which has made gown shopping a little difficult because most store are typically closed those days. She was very helpful and friendly. I LOVED that they have a special going on in December where when you pick your dress, you also get to open a present with a deal inside. My present ended up having a 10% off my dress so I was excited! Their prices are very reasonable and I will definitely recommend to any friend looking for a dress

I very, very rarely write reviews. However, it would be a disservice to the brides of KC if I didn’t tell them all how wonderful Altar bridal is!! Sarah and her mother recently became the new owners of the shop, and they are doing a fantastic job. Initially, I had not planned on shopping at Altar because I had a strict budget for my dress and was worried I wouldn’t be able to find something within my budget at such a high-end shop. However, I accidentally stumbled upon some of the sample dresses available off the rack, and found one by my dream designer. As in, the designer I’ve had pinned on Pinterest for years but never dreamed I’d get to wear because her dresses are never sold in Kansas (and are wildly expensive). However, when I called the shop Sarah told me the sample dress was still in stock, was exactly my size, and had dropped in price below my budget. Naturally, I freaked out, and was desperate to come try it on. The shop closed at 6 and I wouldn’t be able to get there until after that time, but Sarah graciously offered to stay open late for me. My mom and I got there about 6:05 and didn’t leave until 7:30. Even though it was well past closing, Sarah stayed open for us and was remarkably attentive and helpful the entire time. I fell in love with the dress the second I put it on, but was worried I’d end up with dress regret if I bought the first bridal gown I ever tried on! Sarah then went and picked out 4 other (beautiful) dresses in different styles and price ranges so I could feel comfortable in my decision making. At no point was she pushy or trying to make a sale, and she never tried to hurry us along. All she wanted was for us to have a good experience and pick whatever dress felt right, even if it wasn’t one of her own! I am incredibly thankful for Altar and the fantastic experience that I had here. I only went to one shop for all my bridal needs, but couldn’t imagine having to go anywhere else! I’ll be heading back soon to pick out my veil and jewelry (they have BEAUTIFUL options!!!) and will be recommending Altar to every future bride! Thank you again ladies! Can’t wait to show off this beauty next year!

I found my dream dress at Altar Bridal a year and a half before our wedding. They were so kind and let me store my dress there as long as I needed before our big day. Sarah was the stylist that helped us and she was so helpful through the entire process, even after I purchased. I also purchased my earrings there and will recommend to everyone!

Altar Bridal is hands down the best in Kansas City! The dresses and accessories are so beautiful and elegant. The customer service was amazing as well. They were so helpful with any questions I had and were very responsive. When I went into Altar I didn't expect to find my dress, but it was the first dress I tried on there and it made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world. Thank you for all of your help and for the perfect dress for my day!

I went to try on wedding dresses for the first time earlier this month at Altar Bridal and absolutely loved the experience. Sara was very helpful and was truly listening to what I liked vs. what I did not like. She was understanding and knowledgeable! I ended up finding the perfect dress! I suggest going here if you're just a little nervous or overwhelmed with the wedding dress process. They will put your mind at ease and make you feel comfortable!

Adorable little bridal boutique! The staff welcomed me and my family like we were their long lost friends! The trying/ buying experience was smoothe and fun. When I got my “wedding dress cold feet” several months after purchasing my dress Sara dealt with my emotions like a complete champ and was so calm and sweet and understanding. I was nervous that I didn’t love my dress anymore and not once did she try to convince me otherwise.... she clearly knew that once I put my dress on again in my actual size that I would love it again. The staff is sweet, professional, and great at providing the experience that all brides want. I felt like I was the only bride in the world.

Wearing a dress from Altar Bridal was the best decision I could have made! Dede and Sara are truly amazing to work with and they found me the most beautiful dress for my big day. They always kept me updated during the entire process. From ordering it to the finishing touches they were amazing. I would recommend Altar not only for their dresses but for the outstanding customer service!

I had the best experience with Altar Bridal. Their customer service is amazing. They were always quick to respond to any questions & were fantastic communicators with the timeline of when the dress would be in, where they would send my dress to alterations etc. They also have recommendations post wedding for getting your dress professionally cleaned. Their gowns are beautiful & I would recommend this Bridal Store to anyone. Thanks again for all your help the past several months!

Wedding dress shopping is one of the most fun parts of wedding planning. Altar and Sara made this process so very special for me, my mom, my grandma and my bridesmaids. I initially scheduled an appointment with them and had a dress in mind before I even arrived. They let me know they did not have that specific Blush By Hayley Paige dress, but ordered it in just for my appointment from another bridal store. Sara was there for me every step of the way (and so many different appointments to get everything just perfect). We ordered a matching veil, got accessorized with a few other sweet touches and had the best experience with their alterations lady. I can't wait to take my younger sister to Altar when she is engaged and planning her wedding.

My experience at Altar Bridal was phenomenal. I went to one other salon nearby before going to Altar and did not have a great experience in terms of the environment and clerks. Altar Bridal was an absolute joy from the moment I walked in the beautiful boutique to the moment I walked down the aisle on my wedding day. Sara was absolutely AMAZING throughout the entire process. So welcoming, genuine and attentive. I never once felt pressured, uncomfortable or "sold to" while working with her. And I loved that I could see all of the dresses in the shop, unlike some where they are all in the back and have to be pulled for you. I purchased the top and skirt I came in to see immediately after trying it on and love it to this day. From first trying on and ordering, to picking up my finished and perfectly steamed dress, Altar Bridal and Sara were very communicative and professional every step of the way. Every time I came into the shop I felt like a valued customer that was remembered and important. Beautiful boutique, great dress selection, AMAZING people and phenomenal service. I would 110% recommend anyone I know to go here. Thank you Altar and Sara, for helping to make my wedding day everything I pictured!

Altar Bridal has the absolute best selection of dresses to fit any brides needs. The consultants were kind and professional, Gail and Sara made the experience so fun and easy. They took what I thought I wanted and picked a dress for me that I never thought I would pick but was the perfect dress for me. I could not recommend them more!

Love Altar! The girls are so helpful, accommodating, and sweet!!! I have been impressed with the level of service from the very beginning. Even after our wedding, Sara is still in touch and helping with other things I need. The shop is beautiful and comfortable. Couldn’t be more happy with my experience, and will be forever grateful to Sara and her team!!

I always tell anyone who is looking for a bridal gown to go to Altar! The consultants are so understanding and definitely know their stuff. The gowns are so gorgeous and they have unique dresses to fit every bride! They were so sweet and accommodating to me and my entourage. I would give more stars if I could!

Altar Bridal’s dresses are BEAUTIFUL and their customer service is PHENOMENAL. They were so amazing to work with and helped me customize my gown to make it my own. They made me feel confident and pretty in my gown and were not pushing during the decision-making process. The bridal gown search is stressful, but not with Altar :)

Altar Bridal was incredible to work with through my entire gown process. Sara was so professional, communicative, and beyond helpful. I am forever grateful for Sara and her team for making my dream day a reality.

I didnt find it very professional. I went for a sample sale so i knew going in i wasnt going to get hands on help which is what i prefer anyways. As i was trying on a dress though, the sales lady said "ohh....thats going to be a tight squeeze! But we'll see" I was floored at what a rude statement this woman just made. I ended up buying the dress and paid in cash for it and left. I came there with the intent on buying a dress and thankfully im a confident person because that could have easily upset another woman. Im actually mad now though that i didnt ask for a manager because i didnt want that woman getting the commission for my dress.

Sara is so sweet and knew exactly what to pull based on the photos I showed her of dresses I liked. I ended up with the 3rd or 4th dress I tried on and didn't even have to go to another salon. Another important thing that was HUGE for me is that I was a "plus-size bride" and I never felt like my options were limited or that I was being judged. I also used Altar for all my accessories! Bonus, Sara transported my dress to and from the tailor for alterations AND held on to the dress for me until two days before my wedding. Sara kept me right on budget with my dress and below budget with my accessories and I didn't feel like I had to compromise on anything!

We tried a few other bridal salons in the KC area and Altar Bridal was by far our favorite. The service as well as dress selection is great. They also had a great selection of veils and accessories. We felt welcome and comfortable each time we came in. The team at Altar Bridal helped make my dress shopping/alteration process enjoyable and smooth. I would tell any bride to look for a dress at Altar Bridal!

I went to Altar over the weekend to their Sample Sale. I was nervous to go as it was my first time trying on dresses, but they posted a dress on their Instragram Story saying it was included in the sale, and I knew I wanted to go try it on! I got there 5 minutes before the doors were set to open, and they excitedly let me & one other bride in early. It was not appointment based due to the sale, but I got my own private room that was beautiful and Laura helped the entire time I was there, bringing in dresses based off what I said I wanted to try on. I tried on about 8 dresses marked anywhere from $599 - $999, amazing prices (some were marked down lower than that)! The dress I saw on Instagram was the first one I tried on, and the one I ended up buying! Laura was SO helpful. If they ever host another Sample Sale more brides should go because it was a wonderful experience! I didn't expect to find my dress there or so soon, so only my mom and older sister were there with me. Laura offered to schedule an appointment for us to go back in a few weeks to try it on again for my mom, both sisters, future Mother-In-Law & Sister-In-Law so they can see it and we can drink champagne to celebrate! Amazing service! I can't thank Altar enough!

My consultant didn't pay attention to my style and when I tried to show her photos of things I like she kept saying I couldn't afford any of that, even though my budget was very reasonable. The dresses in the shop were all pretty similar--nothing with very much beading or anything extravagant. Overall, I was pretty unhappy with my experience.

I'm so happy I found my wedding dress at Altar! Altar was my last of three shops to visit and I think there's something to be said about saving the best for last. Shopping at Altar felt so effortless and easy. Dede and Sara were so amazing through the whole process! The dress I found ended up being a sample dress and was just perfect! Dede made me feel so confident in my purchase and didn't make me feel like there was any pressure in taking some time between my appointment and purchasing the dress. Every time I tried my dress on after purchasing it, I loved it more and more. I visited the store over the summer during one of the sales and was able to pick out earrings and a belt for my dress. I used their recommendation of Fine Stitch for all my dress alterations and I loved that after purchasing I never had to transport the dress to and from locations. The communication was amazing for where my dress was and it was wonderful not having to worry about my dress until picking it up for the big day. I loved my experience with Altar and would definitely recommend them! Thank you for helping me feel so beautiful and perfect for my big day!

I did not have a great experience at this salon. My consultant, very loudly, made comments about how a dress wasn't going to zip up, or was not my size, or wasn't going to fit me. I have been to other salons and seen them work magic with clips and let you try on a variety of styles even if you weren't the sample size. She also made comments about how much every dress I tried on cost in front of my entire party. I would not recommend going here.

When I walked out of Altar Bridal the first time, I felt like I had just gained a best friend. Altar was the second place I went when looking for a wedding dress, and it was 180 degrees better than the first place, primarily due to the gem that Sara Sarles is. I was nervous about trying wedding dresses on because I don't like feeling pressured, I don't like other people's opinions (only my mom was with me), and I don't like buying expensive things (lol), but Sara just wiped those fears right out of my mind the moment I met her and made me feel comfortable, confident, at ease, and completely okay with telling her my honest opinions. I knew from Altar's Instagram that they seemed to carry a lot of styles I liked (I am clueless when it comes to designer names and dress material), and Sara pulled out dresses that matched those styles, including the one I ultimately chose. Sara was wonderful throughout the whole process, keeping me updated on the status of my dress and handling the transport of my dress to the alterationist, and allowing me to ask her every dumb question in the book. She is awesome and she was a wonderful ray of sunshine throughout my entire wedding planning process.

Everyone at Altar has been so wonderful to work with. I made an appointment, not really sure what to expect. Dress shopping isn’t easy, so I thought wedding dress shopping would be extremely difficult. My experience was the exact opposite! They were so friendly and patient. I had seen some photos of dresses I liked, but wasn’t sure what was going to look best on me. They brought multiple styles to help me figure out what I liked – which I did. This was my only salon appointment and I purchased my dress and veil the same day. Altar stored my dress, and Sara made follow up calls to remind me about fittings and gown pick up. I had a wonderful experience and loved my gown. Thank you Altar!

I searched for what felt like forever to find my wedding gown! I finally ended up at Altar Bridal and Sara helped me put together my perfect dress using the top from one and the bottom from another! I had tried to do this at another bridal salon and they said the designer wouldn't do it! That told me that Sara has a good relationship with the designers, which is awesome! My dress turned out perfect for my August 2017 wedding. I couldn't be happier!

Altar was the first place I went to and I am so glad because it was such an amazing experience! They were so helpful and understanding. I had no idea what my dress shopping was going to be like or what to expect and they listened to me and what my vision. The first dress I tried on was the one I picked! I am so fortunate I had an experience that was so enjoyable! Thank you Altar for everything!

I had an amazing experience with Altar Bridal. Sara and her team are so professional and were kind and patient throughout the entire process of working together. I was truthfully a little nervous to go in there with a budget on the lower end of their price point, but I didn't for a second feel I was sacrificing or missing out on amazing dresses. I loved every dress they pulled for me and I was given a lot of beautiful options. My Mother and Mother-In-Law were meeting for the first time and they made us all feel so comfortable while making this an exciting and memorable experience. I live out of state so once I chose my dress Sara and her team went the extra mile to make sure my dress was stored in safe keeping and kept in touch with me until I picked it up for the fittings for the wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, I would recommend them to every bride!

Altar Bridal was amazing. They were the 3rd and last dress shop I visited before saying yes to the dress! Gail and Sara were the two lovely ladies who helped me through every step of the buying process from trying on 10+ dresses, to the first fitting and then finding the right veil and ribbon. I went in wanting one style of dress and came out with a completely different style. If I was unsure of something they would help me to try and envision everything so that it was exactly as I dreamed. The girls were incredibly communicative throughout the whole process and everything arrived in a timely manner. I could not have asked for a better experience! Please don't go anywhere else except Altar Bridal!

Altar was the third place I shopped for my wedding dress and I have to say it was far and above better than the other experiences! When you first walk in to Altar you are blown away by what a beautiful boutique it is. Their dresses, jewelry, and veils, along with the decor made me feel like a princess. My consultant, Gale, was amazing! The dress she put me in first turned out to be the one, but I didn’t know at first because there were so many beautiful ones I didn’t think I could decide without trying on several. Gale pulled some truly amazing dresses that fit into my budget and complemented by body beautifully. She is truly talented at her job! I loved everything she put me in and I appreciated that she put me in all sorts of different styles. She helped me find the perfect dress and some beautiful straps to personalize the look for me. I met Sara once I had made my final decision, and they both stayed past close so my mom, friends, and I could celebrate with a bottle of bubbly. It was such an amazing day! Since that day Sara has kept in touch with me at all important points. I recently returned when my dress arrived, and my second experience was just as fabulous. I can’t wait for all of my friends and family to see my dress, and I am so thankful to Altar for helping me with the most exciting decision of the whole wedding planning process. I cannot recommend Altar enough!

This was the first store I went to to find my wedding dress and I can say it by far exceeded my expectations for what my wedding dress shopping experience would be like. Everyone I worked with at the store was absolutely incredible, especially Sara. Their communication and customer service could not have been better. I purchased the second dress I tried on and from the purchase, to the accessories, to alterations, to steaming the dress and picking it up for the big day, they made the process so easy and enjoyable. I would not recommend going anywhere else!!!

I absolutely loved my dress but that is not the only reason I love Altar Bridal. Their staff is the best. The owner, Dede, was so friendly and personable. She listened to what I wanted and helped me find the perfect dress. I live out of town and she was so great to work with me everytime I flew to Kansas City to fit me into the shop to try on my dress. We met Sara another time I was in the store and she is the sweetest. She was so helpful. She made my flower girl dresses that matched my wedding dress. They were the cutest!! They went the extra mile for me in everything I needed-I highly recommend them!

This was the first and only store that I went into to find my dress! My wedding was on July 29 of this year, and when I came back home from Dallas in February to find my dress, I knew that I was going to have a bit of a time crunch. There are so many wonderful things I could say about Sara Sarles! She was absolutely incredible! Sara was so attentive and very observant to what I was looking for. She pulled on particular dress, a Mikaella dress, that I fell in love with. It was the first dress I tried on and there was no going back from there. Sara helped me throughout the entire process and made sure that I was kept in the loop on what was happening with my dress. I was so thankful for this as I live in Dallas, making it a little bit harder to communicate/make things happen. I had such an incredible experience here with my mom and my stepmom and would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone in search of a beautiful gown! Thank you for the bottom of my heart for your help, I cannot wait to share pictures with you once I've got them back!

My experience at Altar Bridal was amazing! It was the first place I tried on dresses and Sara was great at pulling a variety of dresses, respecting my budget, and helping me in and out of the gowns. In fact, the dress I purchased was the first one I tried on! Sara said, "I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but it will look amazing on you." And she was right! I fell in love! She was great throughout the entire process - picking out the dress, trying it on when it arrived, setting me up with an alteration shop, and helping get it cleaned and preserved all while being honest about prices and being flexible when scheduling appointments. I loved working with Altar Bridal!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Altar Bridal. This was the third (and final) bridal salon I went to, and I truly felt the consultant listened to what I wanted. I didn’t have a large budget but she never made me feel like my options were limited. In the end, the consultant understood what I was loving and not, and convinced me to try on a two-piece (which I couldn’t believe). Turns out, she was 100% correct and it was everything I wanted. They made the process as stress-free as possible and didn’t push me at all to make a decision. After saying yes to the dress, Altar was great at being professional and communicating with me on all the next steps. Sara even transported my dress from the tailor for alterations and held on to the dress for me until the literal day before my wedding.

Dede & Sara are by far the best! Working with Altar was so easy. My situation was a little different because I tried on one dress and one dress only. However, I had a harder time making a decision on a veil and accessories. They guided me through but didn't push me to make a decision. I absolutely loved my dress and accessories. Everything came together beautifully! I also loved that they worked with the tailor to transport my dress to and from, one less thing to worry about! When I picked my dress up on Wednesday for my Saturday wedding it was perfectly pressed and steamed. It was packaged so well that I didn't have to touch it up at all the day of the wedding. Definitely pay Altar a visit when you're hunting for the perfect gown - you won't be disappointed!

My experience at Altar Bridal far surpassed any expectations I could have had. The boutique is absolutely adorable and the perfect environment to find your dream gown. I worked with Meredith and Sara and had an incredible time. They made shopping for a dress EASY and FUN! Sara is so bubbly and made me feel at ease instantly, like I had known her for years. I came in with an idea of what I wanted and after trying on a few dresses in that style, realized it was definitely not going to work for me. My consultant took every comment I made about the dresses I tried on and pulled a dress that she thought could work based on my feedback and it was THE DRESS! It truly felt like she knew my style better than I knew it myself by the end of the appointment. THANK YOU ALTAR BRIDAL, you helped make my special day even more special!

Wonderful shop. They made the whole process easy. There was potential smoke damage to the dress due to a fire near the alterations shop. Even though the fire was out of their hands, they called to update me on the status constantly and worked hard to fix it. In the end, I never knew the difference. Thanks so much!

This was the first store I went to when trying on wedding dresses and Gail truly made my experience wonderful! She was extremely kind and helped me try on lots of different styles to determine what I liked and disliked. She was also very respectful of my budget and I didn't feel pressured at any time. I didn't end up getting my dress here, but I would highly recommend it to any future brides.

I felt that my party and I were treated very disrespectfully. They hardly put any thought into what I told them I liked, because when they asked if I had found a dress yet that I might like and I told them "yes but I wasn't sold", it was like they could care less to help me find something better. I felt their attitude while helping me was completely fake. They got mad at my mom for touching the gowns and took offense when I didn't like something. People in my party felt that all the staff in the store hovered over us like we were criminals.

I had an awful experience here. The shop is located in a great area and looks beautiful on the inside. However, the shop is really small and the lady that helped me did not listen to anything I said. I told her I wanted an A-line, sparkly dress and she brought me everything but that. It was like she intentionally brought me everything that I said I didn't want. She brought me awful dress after awful dress. Then at one point she brought me in a two piece dress. As a bride I would never wear a two piece on my wedding day. Young girls wear two pieces at prom. I told her 3 times I did not want to try it on but she insisted and then left me in it and went and started looking at other dresses. It was just such an awful experience. After an hour my mother and aunt were so mortified of what an awful job she was doing and they could clearly see how upset I was went and asked to pick out a few dresses for me and they were ok. However, by that time I was over it and left. Save yourself the time and do not schedule an appointment here.

Working with Altar Bridal was a highlight of my entire planning process. I met Dede and Sara through the 5K Wedding Run, and from that experience I knew they were amazing to work with, professional, enthusiastic, detailed, creative and incredibly supportive. After seeing the gowns at the post-race bridal expo fashion show, I knew that this is where I wanted to find my dream dress- and I did! Sara made our shopping experience so personal and fun. She is the best person you could have helping you with this big decision! My mom and MOH also loved having her there to help. After I found my dress, Sara even stayed past closing to give us a chance to celebrate. Dede and Sara are exceptionally organized and had great communication through our engagement process, so we never had to worry about anything. The alterations contact they referred us to did a fantastic job. I got my veil and jewelry through Altar Bridal as well, which was so perfect with the dress thanks to Sara’s help (I had no idea where to even start). When my mom and I went to pick up everything a few days before the wedding, it was really fun getting to share our excitement (and many emotions) with Sara. Everything was very personal and everything about our experience with Altar was truly above and beyond. I wondered if I would feel like a “bride” on my wedding day, and because of how much I loved my dress, veil and jewelry from Altar, I really did!

The girls that I had the pleasure of meeting here were so sweet, caring and helpful. I will tell every girl I know who hasn't had a dress fitting that they need to give this salon a try. The girl and I looked at a few of my pinterest pictures that I had saved and they picked out 10 GORGEOUS gowns that got to laugh and cry and celebrate over. I feel that they helped me hit the nail on the head of exactly what I wanted for my fairy tale winter wedding.

Altar Bridal was maybe one of my favorite parts of the entire wedding planning process. I'm pretty petite, and Sara was AMAZING at pinning/clipping dresses to fit my body so I didn't have to guess what a dress in my size would actually look like. MUCH better than anywhere else that I went to dress shop. But even beyond just going there to dress shop, Sara and the staff were great at keeping in touch with updates on my dress and accessories, when things would be in, answering questions I had about style, care, preservation, etc. Could not have imagined a better group to work with for all things wedding dress!

Of all the shops where I tried dresses on, Altar Bridal was my best experience. I did not end up getting my dress from here, but I wanted to write a review to say it was such a great experience and any bride should go! Sara was great to work with, she made everything easy and smooth. I found something that fit my style just a little bit better elsewhere, but honestly this was the best shopping experience overall. It is worth stopping by, even if you don't find THE dress there. Many thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it!

Sara was amazing! She helped me find the perfect gown and was excellent at helping my mom get on board with my dress vision (not a stark white dress). She also has great ideas for how to minimally alter gowns to make them fit what I was looking for. We also were very pleased recommendations for tailor/seamstress and dress cleaners for after the wedding. Lastly- Altar has a b-e-a-utiful selection of gowns! So unique and classic and the quality is outstanding and so very dreamy!

The ladies at Altar Bridal were wonderful to work with. This was the first place I went to look at dresses and ended up being the only place I needed to go! I went to try on one specific dress and Meredith was wonderful choosing other similar gowns for me to try on also. She definitely understood my style and the look I was going for. I would highly recommend Altar bridal, they made a process that seemed overwhelming to me very simple!

Altar Bridal was a joy to work with! As a plus-size bride I was nervous about shopping for a wedding dress, but Sara made me feel so comfortable and -- dare I say it -- even beautiful! She was so supportive of my vision for my dress and made everything happen for me. I cannot recommend Altar highly enough!

Altar Bridal was amazing! They were so nice and friendly every time I worked with them! They kept me up to date and stayed in touch every step of the way from my first fitting through after the wedding day! Working with Altar was so easy and stress-free and I loved my dress!!

My experience with Altar Bridal was perfect! They have the most beautiful and unique dresses around! I live 2 hours away from the store, however, they made the entire process so easy and worry-free. Great staff!

From the moment I went in Altar to meet with Meredith and the Altar team, I felt so comfortable and knew they would find the perfect dress. They were wonderful to work with and listened to my vision of how I wanted to look on my wedding day instead of some other places where they tried to push me into a dress they thought was best. Not only did they help me find my dream dress, but they were wonderful consulting though my alterations and getting everything taken care to ensure it was perfect. Thank you Altar Bridal, especially Meredith and Sara you were amazing to work with!

Altar Bridal the employees who work there are FABULOUS!! Last October I was in town for a few days visiting my family and wanted to find a dress for my October wedding this year. I had made an appointment at Bella Bridesmaids next door, thinking that they had wedding dresses. When we got there, they told us they only had bridesmaids dresses (we ended up getting our bridesmaids dresses from them in the end). My mom and I walked into Altar, which is next door to Bella Bridesmaids, and they saw us without a appointment! Sara greeted us and listened to the style I had in mind. She brought 4-5 dresses into the room and I started trying them on. I ended up finding my dress and we came back later in the afternoon with my sister to say "yes to the dress." Sara was so sweet and accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a better experience when it came to shopping for my wedding dress. Altar Bridal was really great throughout the entire process. They shipped my dress when it arrived in Kansas to where I live outside of Philadelphia. They let me know when it was going to ship and checked in later to make sure I had gotten it. They even left a hand written note for me in the garment bag. They also made sure I was able to find an alterations place near me. This store and everyone who works there knows how to provide outstanding customer service. I was so happy with them, and my dress was absolutely beautiful!!! I got so many compliments the day of my wedding on the dress. Thank you, thank you, thank you Altar Bridal for everything!

I can't speak highly enough of Altar Bridal. On the day I was scheduled to look for dresses, I had appointments at several salons. I had sent Pinterest boards of styles I liked to each to see if they could pre-pull anything, and Altar was the only one that delivered. When I arrived, they had dresses chosen for me based on my style, including the one I eventually purchased. While all the other appointments ended in tears and confusion, Sara and Meredith understood exactly what I wanted. Once the dress was purchased, they were with me every step of the way, always checking up in with me about next steps and answering my questions with genuine care. I love Altar Bridal!

Meredith was awesome to work with. She took the time to listen and understand what my vision was for my dress, and helped me find the perfect dress. The store has a very intimate setting, which aids in the overall feeling that the people there truly care about you and what you want for your special day. I never once felt pressure to buy. Highly recommend!!!
