Carol Hannah

ds/wants and had some great suggestions for dresses that would work for my aesthetic and body type. The dresses themselves are beautifully made and very high quality. They are also made locally in NYC, in the Garment District, which is a plus. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Carol Hannah and would highly recommend including them in your search for the perfect dress.

Hannah's dresses fulfilled all of my dreams. In her (newly expanded!) showroom you will find non-traditional cuts, plenty of color, and an individualized experience beyond the more traditional bridal boutiques and showrooms. Of course there are the usual hallmarks of a bridal salon, yet you will also be given the couture experience of individual attention and your dress will be made to order, to your specific measurements. Carol Hannah's designs run the gamut of looks and price points, and are all very customizable. Once I visited Carol Hannah's boutique my experience at other shops paled in comparison. Additionally, Carol Hannah herself made an appearance at all of my appointments, and was a major part of my fittings and did much of the tailoring. I loved working with her, and she brings such a fun but relaxed continence which was hugely helpful as my two final fittings were the week before my reception. I could not have been the easiest bride because my work schedule is offensively demanding and I had a sprained ankle, and forgot all my accessories and shoes for my last fitting but CH and her team never once made me feel difficult or like I put them out, even though I'm sure I did. I loved my experience with Carol Hannah and only wish I can come up with a reason to work with her again!

my dress arrived in the mail the team at Carol Hannah was amazing throughout. During my initial appointment Angela was so incredibly sweet and honest as I tried on many different styles of dresses. She was extremely knowledgable about the entire line and was able to answer all of my questions and offer advice about fit or possible alterations that I didn't even think to consider. I had several other appointments after visiting Carol Hannah and Angela didn't pressure me once to make a decision before I was ready. Even at my second try-on appointment she was patient, letting me play and move around in the dress for the entire allotted time and again, not pressuring me to make a decision before leaving that day. When I ultimately decided to buy my dress and work with Carol Hannah directly for the alterations the process was streamlined and 100% delightful throughout. My fitting schedule was shifted due to the pandemic, which the team made very easy to adjust. When it came time to do the alterations Dara was a superstar, making me feel safe by taking all the necessary COVID-19 precautions but also handling the fitting like a pro. She made smart suggestions on how we could customize my neckline and took time with me to test out a custom veil idea I had that I eventually ended up ordering. They even made me a custom facemask out of some extra fabric from my dress. I really cannot say enough about how wonderful a choice it was to purchase my dress and work directly with the team at Carol Hannah. Everyone at her flagship showroom goes so far beyond what you would expect, even for a designer who produces such elegant work.

entire experience and every detail of my gown would come to life in the most beautiful way. I made the cross country journey to NY for fittings. The time and resources spent was beyond worth it. I've never had a gown fit so perfectly which provided ease, comfort and confidence on my wedding day. Coming from a design background, I'm thrilled to share that the Carol Hannah Bridal work is beyond! Each detail, pleat, tuck and stitch of my gown was placed with intention, creating the most beautiful work of art. Thank you Nhi and the entire Carol Hannah Team for making my experience as a bride truly magical.

rience with Carol Hannah was having the dress made on me in the NYC flagship. Not only was very curve of my body taken into account to make a dress that fit beautifully, not only was I able to provide feedback and ideas in the creation process, but I spent so much time with Dara, Angela, and the team that they felt like bridesmaids! I know they always had my best interest at heart and wanted me to look amazing which was so refreshing based on what I’ve heard about other bridal experiences. Yes, the dress was (pretty far) outside my budget, it was worth every penny. Your dress is such a statement on that day and while I unconditionally loved the gown I chose, the process I went through with the Carol Hannah team made me feel so confident in the dress which, for me, was much harder than finding a dress that I loved. Thank you for all the hard work and the laughs, Carol Hannah team!

le and Dara did a phenomenal job of listening to me and creating a shirt that exceeded my expectations. My friends still remark on how beautiful and special my wedding look was.

l Hannah (I was the kind of bride who ended up trying on over 100 dresses throughout my search...I didn't know what I was looking for -- nothing wrong with that!). My first appointment was so ideal; Nhi greeted me warmly and was so friendly and inviting. The space is lovely and all appointments are private (just you and no other brides at the same time). I tried on gowns that I had seen online, as well as separates. When I tried on the Senara gown, everything changed. She was the one! (Note: I made 2 additional trips back to Carol Hannah to finalize my choice before officially saying yes to the dress; thank you Nhi for being so patient and supportive!!) What is extra special about buying your gown from Carol Hannah is the custom fit alterations: your gown is literally MADE FOR YOU. After taking my measurements, each fitting I attended was to further tailor the fit and the components of the dress. For example, I wanted to take the back down a little, wanted the "petal" part of the bust to lay a certain way, and wanted part of the draping altered a bit -- all were easily discussed and accommodated! Shoutout to DARA who is amazing at what she does and was so wonderful at every fitting. Cannot thank her enough for her beautiful work and fun, easy going personality. Fittings were truly so fun and special. I also bought my veil at Carol Hannah, as well as a pocket square for my groom that was made of the same silk organza as my gown :) Thank you to the Carol Hannah team for creating such beautiful gowns, bridal experiences, and memories!! My gown was a dream!!

She was approachable, affable and kind. The experience felt non-judgmental and I found her to be genuine, listening to me and then [patiently giving me some options. After I asked for some custom options on the Bryant dress, Nicole was in constant contact, informing me of pricing changes and design options, finally agreeing to ship me a swatch of the fabric when it's cut! When it came time for my two fittings, Nhi was sweet and let me get excited about my dream dress without making me feel self-conscious or silly. In fact, at every stage of this process with Carol Hannah, I felt so taken care of. And indeed I was! Throughout my wedding, I received countless compliments that the dress seemed like a part of me. I felt like it moved gracefully, complimented my body and was effortlessly comfortable and beautiful. This dress experience was by far the best one I had and it was part of the reason I picked Carol Hannah at the end.

s finding the whole experience increasingly draining and stressful. Once I found Carol Hannah and worked with some members of their amazing team (Nicole, Dara, Nhi), all of my worries subsided. I decided on a white silk top and am so madly in love with it. I am already finding excuses to wear it again! I felt the most beautiful ever on my wedding day and am so grateful to Carol Hannah for developing such a fantastic business model with excellent customer service and the most gorgeous/highest quality bridal gowns. I cannot recommend Carol Hannah highly enough.

th, calm, brilliant, genuine, and epic in all aspects. I felt like a million bucks on my wedding, and it was because of her. The entire team at Carol Hannah, particularly Dara, have become such a special part of my life - I'm going to miss them!! Thank you all for being the most accommodating, the most amazing, and the best people ever. Carol Hannah does NOT disappoint.

, I made an appointment at about 12 shops, my 3rd day of wedding dress shopping and after numerous almost dresses a but of frustration and so much walking around I went to Carol Hannah's Flagship. Let me tell you that I immediately fell in love with the building, the door, her sign, her staff ( Nicole <3) , and once I started to try on dresses forget it I was all in. I actually did not choose the Senara Gown on the first try on, I went through a few more dresses and for some reason NEEDED to put it back on, my family at first was not convinced but when they saw my face after putting it on for the second time and matching it with my Mika Veil we all knew that was it!!! I could not begin to explain how much love and soul is put into this business, the staff is soo sweet, we must have emailed back and forth about 700 times (real count almost) , we talked about customization's, matching shoes, even threw around ideas about a second after party outfit. I actually met Carol Hannah in Miami at the Bridal Shop , I had gone to try on my dress again & the Kensington skirt , she is super cool and laid back , from Chraleston where I got married which was such a plus, I was so happy I actually got to meet the person who created such an important dress for me! If you are looking for a true experience that is nothing but pleasant do not hesitate in choosing Carol Hannah. I had all of my last fittings squeezed together thanks to the Hurricane that decided to ruin all my NYC dress appts. , they were super accommodating , had no problems rescheduling me and working with me, we actually had 3 days of girl time is was fabulous. My dress was shipped to Charleston it arrived exactly as planned! Pure Magic! Thank you

of beautiful dresses, none seemed quite right. Since I used to live in NYC and went back regularly for work, I thought it was worth a shot. From the second I got to the studio, Nicole Moore, was friendly, gracious, helpful and made me feel comfortable during the whole process. It was actually at Nicole's recommendation that I ended up trying on what would be wedding gown, CENTAUREA. As soon as I tried it on I knew it was the one (as they always say)! It was extremely unique, beautiful fabric and I still felt bridal, despite the large amount of gold on the dress. They also build the gowns for you, based on your measurements vs. just tailoring off of a standard size, which ensures it's the perfect fit. Since I needed to travel for all my fittings (and was usually running from meetings), everyone at Carol Hannah was very flexible and accommodating. There are a lot of stressful parts about wedding planning and I can honestly say that once I started working with Carol Hannah the dress was an easy part.

Hannah, Dara, Nicole and their whole team enough!!!

them and chatted with them while they were waiting for me to arrive. Once I showed up she was so incredible. She asked me a series of questions to get to know me. She wanted to meet everyone in my party. She even pulled me aside to ask about budgets without everyone hearing. It was already an incredible experience but it just kept getting better. She took me into the changing area to try on my dream dress. It was more beautiful in person then I could have ever imagine. I instantly fell in love. It was a two piece so we had some wiggle room with the top. I showed everyone and everyone fell in love. It wasn't my favorite too so we kept trying on more. She was so wonderful the entire time. At one point during my visit- there was one person in my party who I could tell didn't love the dress. I value everyone's opinions and got a little upset. I ended up crying in the dressing room and she was amazing the whole time. She tried to find things this person liked about other dresses to see if she could add it to mine. We ended up adding a belt to the dress. She suggested a deeper sweetheart neckline which I wanted. She put on sleeves and everyone fell in love with it. I was so impressed with how she quickly reacted to every situation. She allowed me time to walk in the dress. Made sure I didn't want any other changes added to it. I ended up with the perfect dress that was customized to my style. I cannot thank Nicole enough. She absolutely made that experience one of a kind. I very highly recommend this place and hope you get Nicole because she was incredible. I can't wait to get my dress!

day 1 of my dress search, Nicole, Dara, and the whole Carol Hannah team were so helpful and they made it their mission to help me find my dream dress. Needless to say, I absolutely found the wedding dress of my dreams. I came back for 3 fittings to make sure that everything was exactly as I wanted it. Everyone at Carol Hannah wanted to make sure my dress was perfect for me and they made sure I felt like a beautiful bride every step of the way. I cannot encourage other brides enough to find their dream dresses at Carol Hannah! No one else will have the same dress as you and you will not have to pay the usual insane fee for a dress made-to-order.

I was so happy to get the dress directly from the Carol Hannah Bridal shop and not another bridal salon. Dara & Nicole were able to help me make slight alterations to the design and made sure the dress fit like a glove. They were sweet, caring, patient and above all else exceedingly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Carol Hannah Bridal to any bride in New York. The personalized attention is second to none. I cannot rave enough about the experience!

directly in her showroom. I am so glad that I did!! I had the most amazing experience with the Carol Hannah team. They were incredibly supportive and responsive throughout my entire process. Their main objective was always to ensure my happiness. Each step of the process was truly unique and special and I can honestly say that I enjoyed each and every moment spent with them. The whole process had felt like I was starring as the princess in a fairytale. They worked with me to customize my gown so that it had all the special touches I had dreamed up in my mind. It was executed so that I had two special and distinct looks for the ceremony and the reception, while keeping the base the same dress that I loved. I adored that it was not your traditional gown. I cannot tell you how many compliments I received on my gown; I truly lost count. So many were complimentary of its uniqueness and were wowed to find out that it had it's own separate look for the reception. The gown made me feel confident and radiant, the way every bride hopes to feel on their wedding day! Working with the Carol Hannah team is one of my most rewarding experiences and I recommend them to any bride who is looking for something above and beyond. I hope I can somehow find an occasion to work with them again in the future.
