Amore' Bridal & Tuxedo

ahhhhh! look no more! This place is incredible when it comes to finding your perfect gown. I did have a budget and I went WAY over (but if you could see my dress you would understand why)! I am having a beach wedding, and was looking for something to offer a classy yet appealing look and something that wasn't heavy weight. 3rd dress I tried on, and fell in love! The ladies working are incredible! I owe my life to the woman who did my alterations. THANK YOU, AMORE

I had a very bad experience here. I was not treated as I was an important customer. It was not comfortable like it was at other shops. My wants and likes were not listened to at all. I was told that because of my size, prices started higher than if I was 1 size smaller. I told them my max budget but almost every dress that was brought for me to try on was over that amount. (I’m guessing because I am 1 size bigger than I should be) I do not recommend this shop to any bride looking to feel important and beautiful—as you are and should be made to feel when trying on the most important dress of your life!

The team at Amore is so sweet and very flexible. My seamstress took my size 14 gown down to a size 6 and it fit perfectly!

I was absolutely terrified after leaving this place. Every girl plans a perfect wedding & you read all these nice reviews about how great the help was. I don’t know what her name was but she was awful. I asked to look at a few things or what we should do, she said she didn’t think there was anything for me there + I was coming there way to late to get a dress. I was dumbfounded. It took me a week before I even considered going somewhere else. We went to Stephanie’s in Independence & I received a real big help from them. Like it’s going to be ok. Won’t recommend Amore to anyone

Kristen was great and very helpful! It is quite pricey. I found a dress that I loved (that needed to be ordered) and ended up going to Urban Bridal to get a very similar dress as a sample and saved a lot of money.

Absolutely loved the girl that helped me find my dress! It was the dress that I compared all other dresses. My seamstress worked with over my three fittings to help get the dress ready for my 5'1" frame!

Every employee from the minute I walked into the boutique was kind and helpful. I got the perfect dress for my wedding without having to stress out about the process of it. They made everything run smooth, from picking out dresses and trying them on, to the alteration process. I will definitely be recommending this to future brides!

At first I was completely in love with Amore' Bridal & Tuxedo. When I walked in they were very helpful as I was looking for and trying on dresses. I found "the one" but due to time constraints I had to order off the rack. It had some beads missing and had a makeup stain, but they did not offer any sort of discount or try to make amends. I should've walked right there, but I really liked the dress and knew I should have started looking sooner. As soon as they knew they had me (and my money) hooked, I lost the enjoyable experience that I originally had. I was overcharged for items (not to mention alterations are an arm and a leg!), talked in to things I was told I "needed" but learned I did not, often felt ignored or unimportant when I had to return several times for alterations, and they just weren't as personable once they were no longer trying to sell me something. I LOVED my dress and that is the important thing, but I was glad to be done with Amore' and wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

After many stops, I finally found what I was looking for at Amore. The staff was courteous and very helpful. They pushed me to think a bit outside the box and when I did, I found the perfect dress. They were very easy to work with.

I found my dream dress here! I went to two other places besides here and I cried after both because both places weren't listening to what I wanted. Amore took the time to listen to my needs and wants for my dress. I could go in and try it on as much as I wanted and I felt they were decently priced. My alterations were great as well! My handmade belt was beautiful and I got so many compliments on my dress!

Amore' was one of the first bridal stores I went to on my ultimate search for the dress. It was one of two stores that did not pressure me into dresses that I did not want or felt uncomfortable with. Unfortunately, I did not find the one there; I do wish I had though.

We stopped in on a whim and I wish I would have gone back, but she gave us the idea for the perfect dress, I just wanted to find it cheaper.

Amore' Bridal was absolutely Great to us! We got my dress there as well as my moms dress and all of the bridesmaids dresses! I absolutely love that the store feels more like a boutique with custom items, nothing like the cookie cutter feel at David's Bridal. We worked with Emily while we were shopping and she was so much fun! It was like just having another friend with us. She was interested, offered honest advice, and threw her own ideas in as well and I loved her. After first meeting her I tried not to come back unless she was there. We also worked with Elsa for alterations and that crazy lady was an absolute blast! She had us laughing with her stories about running into a tattoo convention on her way to climb a mountain and being cheeky but we knew for sure that she was not going to let my party and I look anything less than perfect!

I tried dresses on here and the girls were very nice and helpful. I didn't end up getting my dress here but I did get my shoes and jewelry foe them. Overall it was an ok experience. They were supposed to dye my shoes and we had to call and they didn't have them done, but then did rush them so we had them in time.

I found my dress after only two visits to this store. The help was great and I found exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price.

My experience here was just ok. They didn't really make it a special experience. They also would call to let me know my things were in. When I went to it up it turned out they had some things but not others. They did not seem very organized. I did love my dress though.

I am so disappointed with how Amore bridal & tuxedo in independence runs their business. We bought 7 bridesmaid dresses from them and it turned out to be a complete nightmare. We were told that the dresses would come in on time by the owner herself only to receive a call saying that we would have to pay for rush delivery. It took lots of phone calls and visits for them to agree that they made a mistake. Second they do not know their designers after getting sized by them one of the girls dress was to small by 5 inches. When we went in to talk to them they said that they are not responsible. Then who is???? We made so many wasted trips because of their mistakes also because the store hrs change on a daily basis. They were rude and unprofessional!!! We have never been so disappointed with a business as we have been with Amore

I was one of 7 bridesmaids. Dresses were purchased from amore and each dress cost about 170.00. We gave them our business but what we got in return was a total nightmare. Unprofessional!!!! First I went in to get sized and then I came back in to get resized a week later because another bridesmaid that wears the exact same size as me was ordered a size 8 and I was told I was a 4. We got sized by different ladies. That is why I went in to get resized well I go in and another lady sizes me and tell me I'm between a 4 and 6. What??? At this point I don't even know what to think. I let the lady know that the previous lady sized me at a 4 and that I'm afraid it will be to small because my friend who is the exact same size as me got an 8. At this point I was speaking to the manager all the manager says is that they already placed the order. No reassurance no apology. Second we had a junior bridesmaid they measured her and when her dress came in it was 6 inches to small!!! Again they were rude and no apology. First they said well the designer sometimes measures different. Asked them to fix it since that is their mistake. Was told no. Drove up there for the 5th time and the seamstress told the 10 year that she gained weight. In 3 mths I don't see how it is even possible to gain 6 inches. I would understand an inch. They decided to fix it free of charge but only after telling us that they do not accept any responsibility and they are doing us a favor. Basically they don't take responsibility for the designers they carry if that really was the problem, I believe they sized wrong. So then another 5 trips had to be made. I went in there to pay for my dress and waited an hour because the lady could not figure out how to make the machine work. I didn't say anything even tho I wanted to get to costco before they closed. What bothered me about having to wait is the other employees just looked at her instead of trying to help her out. Third mistake they said the dresses would come in on time if ordered by Tuesday. We knew that 3 of the dresses would have to get rush delivering that was fine. I went in Monday and got sized only to receive a call that they would have to rush deliver. It would cost extra money. Had to argue with the manger that that was not what she told us otherwise we would have went to a different place after many phone calls she finally took it off. Lastly took my dress in to have it steamed before the wedding was told I could pick it up Friday went in Friday it was not ready said I'm my friends mom will pick it up Saturday. When she went in she was handed the wrong dress thankfully she knew what it looked like. Also I don't celeb it was steamed because it was wrinkled. I live a good 20 min away, I made so many trips, so much money and time was wasted. I didn't get a single apology or anything from them. The bride got a letter in the letter they said they do not take responsibility for the 6 inches to small dress that they measured on a skinny 10 year old. How about the gas, the time or mostly for how rude

I bought a sale dress that I would have totally looked over if it wasn't for my wonderful maid of honor who saw a beautiful possibility. Martha did a great job completely transforming the dress into something even better than what I envisioned. And Emily was extremely helpful and accommodating as I tried on a few dresses multiple times!

Loved my dress. Was a bit pricey for alterations, but great service Ordered bridesmaids dresses too!

Amore Bridal did the bridesmaid and day of helper dresses for our August 11, 2012 wedding. The colors were turquoise and red and I was having a difficult time finding cute, affordable dresses to match the shades I was looking for. I finally ended up here and thankfully there was a selection to choose from! I had a total of 9 girls in my bridal party and I wanted them all in different dresses which was an undertaking, but Heather was very helpful during the process and they all found dresses they liked. Unfortunately a lot of the more affordable dresses were not in the store to try on and most of the girls didn't feel comfortable ordering a dress they couldn't try on. I also had a size issue with one of the bridesmaid dresses that we were thankfully able to take care of, but to this day I'm still not sure what exactly happened because I didn't have time to fully look into it.

Although I did absolutely love my dress, I wouldn't say the service was anything special. I felt like as soon as I bought the dress they started hounding me on buying excessories and I wish I would have looked around instead of buying them on the spot. The alterations were also really expensive, and the seamstress was rude, I would have taken them elsewhere had I been given the chance, but they just kind of started without even giving you the chance! Overall, beautiful dresses, but just ok service and premium prices.

I had been to other bridal stores before going to look at Amore. The service was great and personal. I didn't have to compete with 10 other brides for help from the sales ladies. They listened to what I wanted and didn't push me into anything I didn't want. Needless to say, I found my perfect dress there! They all celebrated with me when I did and it was an overall great experience! Go see Jennifer at Amore!

I was able to get both my bridesmaids dresses and my dress here along with my jewlery.

Good prices, enough selection for options but won't overwhelm you. Don't charge you to store your dress when it comes in. My alterations went well and my bustle held all night

I didn't buy my wedding dress here, however, I wish I had. I got my dress altered here, and they were SUPER fast! Elsa was wonderful! And they had the most beautiful belt that went perfectly with my dress. AND the shop is GORGEOUS! I would recommend it to any bride shopping for her dress.

I have had good experiences in the past with amore but I really wasn't too impressed with the services that I encountered with my wedding dress. I had my dress altered by their contracted alterations person and she made me feel like a cow. I was asked about my diet and exercise routines as soon as I got into the dress (my dress was a 6, I'm not big). I was not there to get criticized for the way I look but instead to get fitted. After 2 more fittings I was glad to be done with her. When I picked up my dress it was still dirty. I asked for it to be cleaned up and was told that it would be. It was brought back to me 30 minutes later. I assumed that it was taken care of, wrong. On my wedding day I took my dress out and it still had dirt spots on it. This might not happen to everyone but I'm definitely not happy with my service from amore.

I am very happy I got my dress here. It was more expensive than other places but I was very pleased.

I went dress shopping here and even though I did not buy my dress from them, they were great to work with! We did rent our tuxes through Amore. They have so many more options than other places and they were, again, great to work with!

My dress was beautiful. They let me buy the sample off the rack because I was in a time crunch but I did not get any kind of discount which I would have thought I would have. Alterations were wonderful but pricey. Make sure you have an appointment because if you don't it is like pulling teeth to ask any questions even when there is no one else in the store.

After looking at 3 other bridal shops, I found the perfect gown at Amore. The fitting before the wedding was quick and painless, and after the wedding, they sent the dress to be cleaned, pressed, and boxed up for me!

I went to Amore Bridal & Tuxedo to look at wedding dresses. Upon entering the store, it took a little bit for them to greet us, but when we finally got going it was fantastic! The sales associate was great & I was thrilled! I found the dress of my dreams there, but it really ended up being way out of my budget. We found the bridesmaid dresses there as well & still ended up purchasing them there even though they were more expensive per dress - all because of the excellent time I had trying on dresses there! I went back to order the dresses for my bridal party & this was the beginning of the end. The sales associate that helped me try on dresses behaved like she had never met me before in her life. When I told her why we were coming back to still give them some business, she seemed to not care at all. My dresses were then ordered & in two weeks late. Once the dresses came in, more issues. I took 2 of my bridesmaids that live in town to get their alterations completed there - here's where it gets fun. Bridesmaid #1 needed straps for her dress, so the initial sales associate said we would need to order fabric to make those - no problem, we ordered it. We get to the alterations appointment - the dress came with straps! No apologies that we were told we had to order this fabric, no offer to take it back, nothing. Just a bunch of conversation about how I could use it in other places in my wedding - I didn't need it or want it. Bridesmaid #2 gets in her dress & it does not zip up. Not even close. We were measured at the store, by their sales associate. No apology that it's taking 3 girls to zip up this mis-measured dress, only a 20 minute sales pitch on why a $80 bra will make all of the difference. Oh - and a tip to my bridesmaid to drink lots of water & walk it off between now and the wedding to fit in the dress. We go back to the final fitting of the dresses. Bridesmaid #2 fits okay now - excellent. Bridesmaid #1 - not so much. The dress was too big for her the first time, now SHE is the one that it takes 3 people to zip up the dress. I was extremely disappointed in my service here and it really made my wedding experience less than fun. I do not recommend visiting this store. I do recommend to the staff and owners there - learn how to say sorry. Things happen because we're all human, but a simple sincere sorry can go a long way. Acting like you care about your customers can go a long way. This place falls way short on customer service skills, yet they do have some dresses that are gorgeous.

I had an amazing experience with Amore. They listened to what I wanted for a wedding dress, and helped me find the PERFECT dress! I really wanted a lace-up corset style bodice, but my "perfect" dress was zip-up/button. However, Amore has AMAZING alterations ladies, and they helped me transform my almost perfect dress into the most gorgeous dress I have ever seen. It fit me perfectly, and the customer service was fabulous. Thea (alterations) assured me that my bustle would not break during my long night of partying. I didn't believe her, because everyone's bustle breaks, right?!? However, my bustle DID NOT BREAK! I was comfortable all night in my amazing dress!

Amore has wonderful staff!! I wish I could have afforded a dress from there. They worked so well with me and really seemed to care about the look and style I was going for. I went to several bridal stores and this was by FAR my favorite! I ended up hating my sash and the week of the wedding I went into Amore and they let me buy a sash off the rack and it made my dress! They were so happy for me and it was wonderful. Totally worth the extra money. I was happy to give my business to them!

Loved my dress!!!

Awesome, small botique wedding dress shop. Consultants are knowledgeable and helpful. I ordered my bridesmaids dresses through Amore. Consultants kept me up to date on when the dresses would be in. I took the dresses elsewhere for alterations and Amore still let us bring them back to be steamed/pressed.

The staff at Amore was really helpful. They helped me find "the gown"--one of the first I tried on at that store! The whole process there was super easy and they remembered me 5 months later when I picked up my gown and every time I went in to have my shoes dyed, look for accessories, etc. I had a friend do the alterations, but Amore still stored and steamed my dress for free! Overall, a great experience.

Everyone at Amore was great to work with and really made sure I was happy and the dress looked perfect.

I got both my dress there and my bridesmaids dresses. The girls there were so hopefully! They gave me some great options, because I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. The dress I picked was perfect and unique! They held the dress for me until alterations. They alterations were great, though I didn't need much done. We also got our girls dresses there, we were running short on time, but they made sure that we could get them on time, and called as soon as they were in. One of my girls was out of town, but they made sure she could get it pressed there the day before the wedding, so that it would look great! The only reason I give a four is cause they got a little snipy about ordering the bridesmaids dresses so late.

Amore has beautiful dresses in all styles and the staff were so kind and helpful. My dress was shipped in just a few months, and the alterations were spot on and quick as well. They also offer a great deal on cleaning and preserving your dress.

I frist whent to amore to find my dress got grest servce, went back to find dress for my grils agine got great servce but the lady try to tell us we needed to order the dress by the end of dec. when the tag said 6 to 8 week for you would thank that you would get you dress in 8week the longest. we order fed 14th the next friday I got a phone call from the pople that where makeing my grils dress telling me the colors notable(not good) on top of all that we all ready had the guys tux picke out with them so the guys start going in to do there thing and the people there are not geting there deposit so Amore calling me like it my felt. you also think if your in the wedding bussiens that you would stay open until 6 or 7 pm on a wed no they close at 5pm not good when they call you late tus afternoon an our at work.

I went to several dress shops before deciding on my dress. The other stores I visited wouldn't stay in my price range or brought only dresses in the upper part of my price range. The other stores would ask me what I liked and find dresses for me. At Amore they let me just look at the dresses and pick out which ones I wanted to try on. Heather helped me try on the dresses and was so laid back during the process and not pushy at all. Definitely the easiest dress shop to work with and they have wonderful dresses!

My first impression of them was that they were very helpful, however that helpfulness stopped once I ordered my dress. They didn't call me when the dress didn't arrive on time or even when they had to send it back due to wrong length on the hem. They seemed only willing to help if you were willing to pay for it.

I would have loved to have given Amore a 5-star rating, however, a couple of almost major disasters occurred. First, the day before my wedding, I looked at my dress and there was a stain on the front of it. Thankfully, one of my guests is a wedding dress maker and she was able to figure out how to remove the stain. While she examined the rest of the dress, she noticed that the woman who had done the alterations and bustling had tacked up a part of the train that should not have been tacked up. Again, thankfully, she was able to, very carefully, remove the misplaced tack and allow the train to flow freely. The stress this caused me and the glitch in the schedule it produced made the day before my wedding not what it should have been.

i know there are others that need help but i flew into town for one day to meet my family here to try on dresses, they were unwilling to help because i only had 3-4 months before my wedding? just didnt get "The" experience

I had tried on several other dresses at several other stores and just never had a great experience. I felt like I was not important in other stores and more often than not it seemed like other stores would give me 5 dresses to try on and that was it. The sales staff at Amore was excellent and so nice. Alterations were great and she knew all the tricks for dress alterations (and undergarments) to make me look amazing on the big day. I plan to tell all my friends to shop at Amore for their dresses.

Very easy to deal with. Had no problems with my dress whatsoever with them.

They were awesome getting the guys taken care of! They even called a couple days in advance when the tuxes came in and a couple of the measurements didn't look right. This way the guys had time to fix things before the wedding! They tuxes looked great!

The first time I went to Amore I found two dresses that I really liked and they were very nice and helpful. I went back a second time and decided on one of those dresses and paid for half of it. After I put down some money the level of service really went down. I had to give them my bridesmaids information over and over. It seemed as though no one who worked in the store communicated. I even had them call me weeks after all 5 girls had come in and been fitted and paid for their dresses and asked me if I had gone somewhere else to get my bridesmaids dresses! Now any bride can realize how that would be some what disheartning. They were always giving me attitude when I wanted to schedule appointments on Saturday. Ordering the mother of the bride dress was a huge mess. I got so irrated I went somewhere else to get the tuxes.

My dress was gorgeous. However, I am glad that I ordered it as early as I did, because supposively it got stuck in customs and delayed it another month. When it got here it was great. The lady that did my alterations was not nice at all. She told me that I had back fat and I needed to get rid of it. She also made my dress extremely tight on me, where I was afraid to even gain a pound. We had to have her take it back out, because I was afraid it wouldnt fit me on my wedding day. After she did that the dress fit great, but it was the extra stress I did not need.

The selection of my dress went great. Once they sold me my dress the service was not as attentive. We got little help when picking out my bridesmaid dresses

We ordered bridesmaids' dresses from Amore. They were friendly and helpful, although we did have a little trouble with sizing for out of town girls.
