My experience with Carriage House was 10/10! The ladies were so warm and welcoming. My maid of honor surprised me at my appointment and they took the time to coordinate the surprise! We had a larger group for my initial appointment and they were so patient with us. Highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Carriage House if you are wanting a quality dress, a team that truly cares about their clients and a seamless process.
I had the most wonderful experience at Carriage House! The girls were so sweet and made me feel so comfortable. They kept working with me to find my perfect dress. The store is beautiful as well. Couldn’t recommended them more!
Carriage house has the most stunning dresses! I truly loved every dress they pulled for me. Virginia really took the time to hear what I wanted, and helped me find my dream dress. It was such a fun, easy, and stress free process. Virginia and Sydney Claire made me feel so comfortable and were so professional and knowledgeable. I’d recommend them to anyone!
The Carriage House was by far the best experience I had wedding dress shopping! The staff was extremely nice and helpful! I showed them pictures of what I was thinking and Virginia pulled exactly what I wanted!
Carriage House is amazing! Virginia was so great in helping me find the perfect dress. They have the cutest private rooms, where they serve water & champagne to you and your family or anyone you bring. They were very professional and pulled from the shelf exactly what I was looking for. I have previously felt overwhelmed when shopping for dresses, but they made it so manageable and truly a one-of-a-kind experience!
Carriage house was very responsive and easy to book an appointment with. The morning of my appointment my dog ran away - needless to say I showed up 30 minutes late, wet hair, no makeup. The Carriage House team was extremely understanding and empathetic of the situation. They were able to calm my nerves, make me feel comfortable, and filter through dresses quickly given the time crunch. They made great recommendations, and I ended up with a dress that makes me feel beautiful. Glad we were able to find the dress (and the dog)! I would recommend this to any soon to be bride!
Carriage House is truly the BEST bridal shop in birmingham! Kelly Michelle is so kind and patient and found the perfect dress for me! The dresses are also such good quality and unique! They for sure have the most elegant dresses in birmingham!
Everyone at Carriage House is so positive and fun! I have been there to find dresses with both of my sisters and had the best time! I finally got to go for my own dress and it was even better! The staff makes sure they get an idea of what you’re looking for so they can pick the best dresses for you. I loved that they also picked dresses out of my comfort zone so I could be sure of what I wanted! I can’t recommend them enough!
The girls at Carriage House were beyond helpful in finding me the perfect wedding dress! Their boutique is gorgeous, chic, and elegant. They were extremely attentive and listened to my every want and need. I couldn't recommend them enough!
The most enjoyable experience with Bradford and Kelley Michelle in helping curate the perfect dress for me! They really listened to my vision and made it fun for my family with me too.
The BEST bridal boutique!!! Virginia and Kelly Michelle are amazing! So professional and kind! They were both so helpful and pulled so many gorgeous dresses for me to try and I FOUND my dress!
Best of the best!!!! You need to go to the Carriage House if you are looking for a dress. I had Virginia as my stylist and she was AMAZING. Was so fun but professional and took exactly what I said I wanted and picked so many amazing dresses. I only tried on about 5 dresses and picked the 3rd dress! Was such a fun process and I am in love with my dress and all of Virginia's selections.
Never in a million years did I expect to find my dress at my very first appointment.. but here I am with the SECOND dress I tried on! Kelly Michelle did a great job picking out dresses exactly as I described! The store was so pretty and all the dresses were beautiful! Definitely a 10/10 experience!
Cannot say enough great things about my experience at carriage house! Virginia helped me find and create exactly what I was looking for which made my decision so easy!
Traveled to Carriage House from Columbus, GA and it was so worth it! Kelly Michelle was an angel - she was so attentive to my questions and made me feel so comfortable. I ended up loving a bottom of one dress and top of another, and she helped me order the perfect one-of-a-kind gown that combines the two. I can't wait to wear my Carriage House dress on my wedding day.
Absolutely loved my experience at Carriage House!! Christina and Virginia helped me find dresses to try on that were specific to what I loved and I immediately found my dress the first thing I tried on!
The experience at Carriage House is so personalized and makes you feel like the most important person there. Couldn’t have been better!
The quality of dresses at Carriage House was so wonderful, it helped me to make my decision quickly! The kind and helpful staff made finding a dress such a fun experience!
The best bridal boutique! I had no clue what to expect and only had a few ideas of what I wanted for my dress. Bradley & Katherine worked their magic and found the PERFECT ONE for me! The whole staff was so personable and friendly making the entire process a breeze. My mom & I had the BEST experience!! Highly recommend Carriage House!
BEST bridal boutique ever! The process of finding my dress was so much fun and so easy! I never felt stressed or pushed, and everything was taken care of so professionally, but personally! Couldn't recommend Carriage House and their precious staff more!!!
I had a wonderful experience with Carriage House! The selection of dresses is incredible and the staff was genuinely excited for me and ready to answer any and all questions. After purchasing my dress, I was able to easily contact the staff for updates on delivery status. They kept me informed every step of the way. I worked with Anna Cate who was absolutely wonderful. Loved my dress and the overall experience!
We have had two wonderful experiences purchasing wedding dresses for both of my daughters at Carriage House! Kelly Michelle really knows how to measure and insure that the dress comes in needing a minimum of additional alterations! The entire experience is personalized and wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about Carriage House Weddings!
Carriage House is a one-of-a-kind experience! The consultants are knowledgeable, encouraging, and SO sweet! The dressing rooms are immaculate. I highly suggest stepping into the front room w/ natural lighting to see yourself with that “bridal glow”!
Thanks to Christina at Carriage House for making my experience so special!
Carriage House is wonderful!! I could not have dreamed of a better wedding dress shopping experience. The interior of the shop is beautiful! Very chic with a variety of gorgeous dresses. Anna Cate was an AMAZING consultant!!! She really put the cherry on top of my experience. She is so friendly, patient, kind and carefully listened to my likes and dislikes. I loved every dress that she pulled for me and we eventually found the perfect one!
Such an amazing experience! The level of professionalism and attention to detail the Carriage House delivers from start to finish is impeccable. Anna Cate and Christina were such a delight to work with and helped me select my dream dress! They made me feel special and celebrated and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
It was my first time dress shopping and they made the experience so easy and manageable. I came in with no vision and I left with a dress! I fell in love with the whole experience for sure.
What a blessing this bridal shop is to me!!! This was my first wedding dress appointment, and I could not have been more happy with my experience. The bridal shop was beautiful and very well organized. Anna Cate was the BEST!!! She was a great listener and picked several dresses out for me based on what I had explained I was looking for. The third dress I tried on was actually the one!! Carriage House had a huge selection to pick from, and somehow she knew exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend Carriage House to any bride looking for her dream dress!!! The staff are so friendly! It was such a fun process that Anna Cate made so easy! 10/10
Carriage House was absolutely incredible! We have a short turnaround time for our wedding, and they were able to help me find the perfect dress and rush order it to arrive in time. Christina helped me pick out so many incredible options, helped me feel beautiful in every dress I tried on, and when I decided, she helped match the perfect veil and I could finally imagine myself walking down the aisle! And to top it all off, they served champagne to celebrate! I would recommend Carriage House 1000 times over!
Carriage house is incredible! Everyone is beyond nice and helpful! I couldn’t recommend a better place to find your dress!
I loved everything about this place! I went in having no real idea of what I wanted in a dress, but Christina quickly helped me narrow it down, and ultimately pick a dress that surprised everyone that was with me. I’m so excited to walk down the aisle!
This bridal boutique is top notch! The entire staff was considerate, professional, made me feel welcomed and treated me like I was the only bride to be in the world! Can’t say enough about this incredible boutique and their expertise in helping me FIND THE ONE! ❤️
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Carriage House with Kelly Michelle! The location is fantastic, the decor is chic, and anytime I have entered I have been met with the warmest of greetings. I was a bit anxious to begin my wedding dress shopping, as I worried I wouldn’t be able to find anything that felt just right. I had 2 appointments prior to my visit to Carriage House; both went well and I actually thought I had found the dress I wanted at the second location…but then I went to Carriage House. It was as if Kelly Michelle could read my mind because every single dress I tried on was beautiful and felt so true to who I am and what I had envisioned for my wedding. I tried on one that I knew was my dress, but I wanted to keep trying on more just to be sure, so I would put the same dress back on between each new one, and Kelly Michelle never once made me feel like I was a bother or needed to rush. She really listened to what I wanted, gave helpful feedback, was so patient and kind, and most importantly made me feel incredibly special. I will forever be grateful to Kelly Michelle and the entire Carriage House team for creating such magical moments that I will think of each time I look back on photos of my gorgeous dress.
I am from Chattanooga, TN and always knew I wanted to get my dress here. Coming to the Carriage House was well worth the trip and the entire experience was incredible! Everyone was so kind and helpful in helping me, Find The One! The Carriage House offers a beautiful variety of gowns, veils, and accessories. Not only was the entire process wonderful with beautiful dressing rooms and champagne but what stood out to me was how knowledgeable everyone is of the different gowns. Not only did it feel like putting on beautiful weddings gowns but a piece of art. I had the best experience and I am so thankful I got my wedding dress at the Carriage House!
The girls at Carriage House were so friendly and made me feel extremely comfortable! They helped me find my dream dress! Go check them out.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Carriage House and my experience! Lindsey and Kelly Michelle were beyond friendly and helpful, and truly made the process so fun. They were very accommodating in letting me come back in for a follow-up appointment to ensure I felt good about my choice. I HIGHLY recommend Carriage House to all brides looking to find their dream gown!
Carriage House Weddings is such an excellent place to shop for your wedding dress. They the shopping experience peaceful and calming while also helping to guide you to find your perfect dress. Anna Cate did a great job of engaging my likes and dislikes and helping me to really discern what was my best fit. Very highly recommend shopping here!
I called Carriage House to schedule an appointment to find my dream dress & they got me in the very next day!!! All of the women were SUPER nice and it was such a fun experience!!! I definitely recommend carriage house for any future brides!! :)
I loved everything about my experience with Carriage House! When I booked my appointment, I had already tried on dozens of dresses at my boutiques in 4 different cities. Julie knew exactly what I was looking for - something modern and simple but that could travel well! My husband and I got married in the mountains of Colorado so we wanted the scenery to be the main focal point! And we’re located in Texas so that meant I’d have to travel with the dress twice. I fell in love with a Kelly Faetanini gown — the second one I tried on! Julie picked the perfect veil to complement the dress. It could not have been more perfect!
I couldn't of asked for a better place to find my dress! The staff was so welcoming and helpful when I was looking for specific things. Everyone was extremely accommodating and listened to everything I liked/didn't like and ran with it. Highly recommend going here to try on dresses!! They made everything so stress free and fun!
My first time at Carriage House was going with a friend to try on dresses, and I was blown away by how nice Kelly Michelle was. When it was my turn to try on dresses, I knew that I wanted to go to Carriage House and they did not disappoint. Anna Cate and Bradford were amazing and made me feel so comfortable. I truly at the best experience!
Carriage House was the first and only bridal salon I went to, and I found my dream dress with the help of the wonderful staff. The experience of finding a gown that suited my style was super stress free at Carriage House, and they have been nothing but accommodative to all my wants and needs! I highly recommend this store to any and every bride looking for their wedding dress!
Carriage House was so amazing! Kelly Michelle and Bradford were the dream team and helped me find THE perfect dress! My mom and I went other places to look for dresses just to compare, and even my mom insisted we had to go back to Carriage House because she loved the people there so much! Would definitely recommend if you want an excellent experience and great selection!
I could not have asked for a better place nor group of people to help me find exactly what I was looking for. I believe I visited two times before making my decision and on my wedding day I felt so beautiful in this gorgeous dress. KellyMichelle & Bradford helped me go through various styles and types, contacted the dress designers individually with questions I had, and came up with the most perfect design from Dalarna to get me the dress of my dreams. They were honest, helpful, and genuinely wanted the best for me and I felt that at this place. I also needed last minute jewelry and veil help and KellyMichelle was ON it. I love this place & these people. They truly made me feel individually special and beautiful the whole time. Thank you Bradford, KellyMichelle, & Carriage House Weddings. This team is absolutely amazing and professional in every way.
I am located in Huntsville, AL. When I got engaged I started what I had heard would be the most stressful/potentially dreadful task of finding a wedding dress. I am a very type A, OCD, traditional, clean, simple, to the point kind of person and I imagined my wedding dress would reflect that and more. I started in Huntsville, 3 places - no luck. Spent a weekend up in Nashville, 3 more places - still no luck. By this point I'm losing hope. I feel like I am the type of person who needs to see everything before making a decision but at this point feel as if I have been exposed to everything and still am not 'IN LOVE'. We head to Birmingham - the day before my birthday. 3 places total - the last being Carriage House. Truly, walking into Carriage House, I just felt 'it'. First off - the store front is just absolutely stunning. Bradford was due to help me and y'all, I could not love him more!!!! He was first kind, but he was also the kind of honest I needed during this process. I tried on maybe 4 dresses - all of which I really could have seen myself in (9th wedding shop is the charm, right?), but I kept going back to this one Kelly Faetanini gown. IT WAS MADE FOR ME. Elegant, sleek, fitting, low back, small amount of detail. I chose my veil and earrings there in the store. Everything I saw - perfect for my Garden wedding. Hints of floral, clean and simple. It was the BEST birthday surprise. AND FURTHER - If you are on the fence about whether to do split sizing - here is your sign.. DO IT! This makes everything immensely easier down the road. When I came in for each and every one of my alteration appts. (all it needed was a bustle and a small amount of hemming) Anna Cate greeted us. The sweetest smile, at the door, every 2 weeks. We really got to know each other and I always left thinking to myself this is the type of business that people want, the image that people strive for. Carriage House has gone over and beyond to create experiences that brides will carry with them. In such a stressful but beautiful season, Carriage House is just that - a home! Each and every person makes you feel at home, makes you feel comfortable, confident, and all around lovely - no matter how short the stay is.
I had the absolute most fun finding my wedding dress at Carriage House with Anna Cate!! I could not have asked for a better experience than what Anna Cate provided for me. All of the dresses are stunning and the staff is extremely helpful. So very grateful I found the one at Carriage House!
I cannot say enough good things about Carriage House and the amazing people that work there.
To the brides that are looking for places to wedding dress shop: GO TO CARRIAGE HOUSE.
They have such a beautiful and vast selection of dresses, and the ones you try on will give you a good baseline of what quality dresses and styles look and feel like.
The sweet women who work there are great at their jobs, know how to handle any unexpected dress issue, and know how to make something that could easily be one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning - finding the dress - so incredibly easy, uplifting, and fun.
Julie worked with me directly throughout the wedding dress selection and fitting process. She is such a sweetheart, so fantastic at her job, and sincerely valued my ideas, opinions, and concerns. I brought a few people to my dress appointments, and Julie was good at amplifying my voice when a lot of opinions and concerns were being shared. Being heard is something that is not only so important in making your dress decision but also so important if you want to keep the search fun and happy. I’m so glad I had the chance to work with her.
Kathleen was my seamstress, and I had an absolute blast working with her during the fitting process. She did such an incredible job altering my very untraditional and beaded dress. She was a joy to work with.
Again, I cannot sing enough praises of Carriage House and the amazing women that work there… truly an amazing experience, and I am so incredibly grateful.
Carriage house was the first place I went and I am so happy I did! Everyone there was so nice and easy to talk to. Shout out to Anna Cate for making the day so wonderful! She was absolutely wonderful and really listened to what I liked and picked out my dream dress!
Carriage House was the only place I wanted to find my wedding dress and I was able to do just that! Carriage House is warm and inviting and they keep their brides feeling confident and special the entire process. The Carriage House Team is wonderful and so easy to work with! My whole experience is one I will never forget and wish I could go back there to visit all the time!
Carriage House went above and beyond my expectations. Caroline (the owner), Kelly Michelle, AC, and the entire CHW team is amazing! They were so enthusiastic the entire process and made me feel so special. They truly helped me find the one and made it so easy! I love CHW!
I had the best experience with Carriage House and Anna Cate. AC helped me find the perfect dress, within my budget, and on time for my wedding. I would highly recommend :)
Carriage House and Anna Cate are the best! They listened to my feedback and helped me find a dress that was perfect for me and my budget. The shop is beautiful, and there was no pressure to make a decision on the spot. I’m proud to be a Carriage House Bride!
Carriage house was the BEST experience I had as a bride trying on dresses! I went to a few other places before that made me feel like just another client, but carriage house made me feel so special like they really wanted to take care of me and cared about my dream vision! Kelly Michelle was the most sweetest and thoughtful stylist! She pulled dresses that I absolutely loved and I ended up finding the ONE! I felt so spoiled the entire time. The dressing rooms are so cute, the dresses are stunning, the veils/accessories are the die for! Best experience ever and I will never forget it thanks to carriage house and their amazing team!!!!
Carriage House is the BEST! They squeezed me in for a last minute appointment and I ended up finding the dress of my dreams. Kelly Michelle was incredible - she listened to my vision and did a wonderful job selecting options for me to try on. The whole experience was wonderful. I wish I could wear my dress every weekend!
Kelly Michelle and Anna Cate are phenomenal (along with the entire team!) they made me feel like an absolute princess and helped me choose the dress of my dreams. They are so supportive, caring and just genuinely phenomenal people. If you haven’t stopped in there along your wedding journey, you most definitely need to. They are worth it.
Carriage House was the first place I went to look for my wedding dress. The staff was so attentive and really listened to all my likes/dislikes. They made the process so fun and stress-free. I found my perfect dress and cancelled all my other appointments! I would recommend Carriage House to anyone looking to find their dream dress!!
I loved my appointments at Carriage House. They had so many style options and the the stylists were so thoughtful, observant, and patient. They were quick with pricing quotes, had great response times to any and all questions, and were genuinely excited to help me find my dream dress!
I specifically worked with Anna Cate and Kelly Michelle and they’re amazing. They made me feel so confident in myself, my choices, and gave me so many options! I can’t wait to walk down the aisle in my gown that I found at Carriage House.
I absolutely loved my experience at Carriage House! After a bad wedding dress shopping experience at another store, I was honestly nervous to go shopping again. Luckily, my experience at the Carriage House was nothing like my previous bad experience! Anna Cate and Bradford made me feel so special the whole time I was there! They never made me feel bad about my body, or what I liked/didn’t like about certain dresses. When I found my dress, they were the perfect hype squad! As someone who is hesitant to make big decisions, I never felt pressured, only supported! I would highly recommend Carriage House to anyone else looking for not only their dream dress, but a fun, stress-free dress shopping experience! I am so thankful that I was able to find my dress at Carriage House!
Beautiful Showroom, Incredible Selection, and Amazing Staff!! They make every single bride that walks in feel so special! Overall Wonderful Experience!!!
The Carriage House makes it easy and fun to choose your wedding dress. The staff is extremely nice and helpful and they have the best selection of dresses. I highly recommend shopping here!

My experience at Carriage House was an absolute dream come true!! I had a very specific vision for my dress, which Kelly Michelle and the Sareh Nouri team executed flawlessly! Every detail of my experience was amazing, from the gorgeous shop, to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff! Kelly Michelle helped me pick and choose pieces from different dresses to create the gown of my dreams, and she worked with the Sareh Nouri team and the seamstress directly to ensure every detail was perfect. I could not recommend Carriage House enough! Thank you for making all my wedding dress dreams come true!!
Everyone in the store was so helpful and nice! My proportions called for a custom fit dress and Kelly Michelle helped me to find a dress that worked for me. I was able to go back and try the dress on after we had ordered it to show my family that hadn't been able to make it to the appointment. This really meant a lot to me. I would recommend Carriage house to any bride wanting a personable experience and a gorgeous dress!!
I bought my wedding dress from Carriage House Weddings, and they made everything so easy! Not only did I say yes to the dress there, but I also hand picked all my accessories in their collections. Everyone there is so wonderful to work with, and truly make the process fun, easy, and enjoyable!
Growing up in Birmingham, we drove past Carriage House daily. I always dreamed of getting my wedding dress there! It was the first (and only) place I went to look for a dress!! I ended up getting the first dress I put on. Thanks to Julie, she knew exactly what dress I was imagining! I could not have loved my dress any more!! Love the girls at Carriage House!!
Julie & Kelly Michelle and the team at Carriage House are AMAZING! They were so kind and helpful when I came back a few times to find my dress. The space is beautiful and I would highly recommend shopping at Carriage House Weddings!!
I would highly recommend shopping at Carriage House when picking out your wedding dress. Julie was wonderful to work with! I didn't have a strong opinion on what my dress would look like, and she picked out a few things she thought I might like -- I chose the second one I tried on! All of the staff was very kind and helpful throughout the alterations process too.
I love Carriage House SO much!!! I walked in and did not know what to expect and had other appointments for the rest of the week at other Bridal Salons - I ended up canceling everything else. I was a little indecisive and they helped me create my dream dress, spoke to the designer and ended up making it custom so that I was able to have the best of both worlds. I truly love Kelley Michelle, Julie, and Bradford - the BEST!!!
I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Carriage House Weddings. If you have a chance to request someone, request Kelly Michelle. I felt like I was trying on dresses with my best friend. She is incredibly helpful. She was able to pick a number of dresses for me just based on a few pictures -- until we finally found the one. She went above and beyond for me and my family to ensure that the experience was everything I wanted it to be and more. I never even thought about going anywhere else after my first visit - I just knew no one was going to take care of me as much as Carriage House. I'm so pleased with my dress, so pleased with the experience. Cannot recommend enough!!
Being an older bride in my 40s, I had no idea what type of dress I wanted or what type of dress would even look good on me. Kelly Michelle and Julie were so patient as we narrowed down the possible dresses. I loved the lace on one and the bodice of another. From that, Kelley Michelle helped to customize a dress that became my perfect dress. When the dress came in, Kathleen was there for alterations to make it fit perfectly! Julie helped me find a beautiful jeweled comb for my hair to finish my look. My experience at the Carriage House was wonderful. Kelly Michelle and Julie get to know each bride on a personal level. You know they truly care about you as a person. They do everything they can to make your wedding day perfect!
I had put off shopping for a wedding dress because it all seemed very overwhelming and I didn't really have a vision of what I was looking for. I am so glad that Carriage House was the first bridal store I had an appointment with because I was able to cancel all other bridal store appointments! They made the whole experience feel effortless. I had such a great time trying all different styles in a price range I felt comfortable with. My bridal consultant was amazing! She listens and works tirelessly to find the dress that you feel beautiful in! I highly recommend Carriage House Weddings to find your dream wedding dress!
After visiting 4 bridal shops, Carriage House was where I found the perfect dress! Julie was so kind to let my friends/family and me look around for what I had in mind. The Carriage House team was just that-- you could tell they all cared and were there to help me with what I needed/wanted. Living out of state was not a problem because Julie was always there and so helpful/accommodating. I was also last minute on a few things, and Julie went out of her way to make sure that I had what I needed in time including sending pictures of veils and earrings while I was out of town. I ended up getting my veil and earrings from the Carriage House as well, which I LOVED just as much as the dress! The private rooms in their new Mountain Brook location are SO NICE! Thanks so much Carriage House!
I used Carriage House for my BEAUTIFUL August Jones gown and it was a wonderful time. The dress was jaw dropping and the experience in the salon made this once in a lifetime experience the most memorable. Julie was so kind and listened to everything that I wanted. She made me feel special every time I came back in to try on the dress. I felt like she was just as excited as I was. One thing that she suggested (and I trusted her on) was to split size my dress. When the dress came in, I saved SO much an alterations because it fit so well. COVID caused a lot of stress (especially when I thought my dress may not make it in time), but the ladies at Carriage House were so patient with my panic. And what do you know, now I get to wear my dress again for our second wedding in December!
Julie at Carriage House went above and beyond throughout the whole process! First she helped me to find my perfect dress even when that meant customizing the skirt and adding lace to the bodice. She was available at any time throughout the process to answer any questions I might have. When we were in quarantine and I was unable to come into the shop she even tried on veils and sent me pictures to help me find my perfect one! I can not say enough about the staff here, such a great experience!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about carriage house. I have never been the girl that looked at wedding dresses and knew when she got engaged what dress I wanted. All I knew was what I didn’t like. I went into carriage house and gave them this very little info and a little bit about who I was and my style. This was the first place I went to and I found my dress there!! Didn’t need to go anywhere else!! They knew exactly what to pull and they were amazing to work with throughout the whole process!! Brides who want to find there special dress and get the ultimate in service NEED to go to carriage house! Thank you for making me feel beautiful!
The Carriage House was a DREAM to work with. They have the best staff and the best wedding dress selections. During my appointment they were so helpful in answering any questions I had or helping me picture different features that could be added on to a dress. They were the sweetest and I always loved seeing them because they made me feel so special!! Some of my dream dress was custom and they made that process so effortless. Anything I needed it would instantly be done. This is by far the best bridal shop in my opinion!! If you want a stress free and wonderful experience you should shop here!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I went to several bridal salons around the Birmingham-metro area, and no salon compared to Carriage House! The ladies were so attentive, and made me feel confident in every dress I tried on. I was able to select the unique, perfect-for-me dress I was looking for!
I had such a great experience with Carriage House! All of the girls I met at Carriage House were so helpful and sweet! They had a great selection of dresses and all the girls really listened to me and helped me find my dream dress at my first appointment. Kelly Michelle was always prompt with emailing me and keeping me updated on my dress and veil throughout the process too!
I had such an wonderful experience with Carriage House for both my wedding dress and my bridesmaids dresses! I ended up finding a gorgeous gown that was absolutely perfect for me and beautiful dresses for my bridesmaids.
The entire process from gown shopping and getting my bridesmaids dresses ordered was so easy and everyone in the store is so responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend to any future brides!
Carriage House has an amazing gown selection and a wonderful staff to work with. They are so helpful throughout the ENTIRE process and make you feel so special! You can tell they genuinely care about each of their brides. I could not have been happier with my selection!
I was looking forward to wedding dress shopping, but after going to a couple of the local stores I realized that it was not going to be as fun as I was hoping. When I went to Carriage House, my wedding dress shopping experience changed for the better. The girls at Carriage House were able to make the dress of my dreams! I highly recommend Carriage House to all brides!!
This business really cares about their brides. They take in every detail of what you want in your dress and work with you to make it perfect, and then celebrate together with champagne! Getting my dress through Carriage house was easy and stress-free. If I did it all again I would go back to them!
I was slightly dreading shopping for my wedding dress because us gals can be our worst critics; however, Carriage House made this the absolute best experience! The girls were extremely helpful in pointing me towards different dressing after asking me my vision, and I ended up loving every single one I tried on. They made me feel so good about myself! They didn't push me to buy anything, and I felt like they were truly there to help me find what was going to make me the most happy. I am so excited to wear the dress in February. Thanks girlies!
The entire team at Carriage House was so helpful and friendly! They helped me find my dream dress on my first visit to the store. The dress arrived in plenty of time before the wedding, and they were able to offer recommendations for alterations. Thankful they were a part of my wedding experience!
DREAM DRESS! Caroline was awesome at helping me find the perfect dress. I ended up finding an Olia Zavozina two piece dress and falling in love with it! The experience at Carriage House was excellent and I would highly recommend finding your wedding dress with them! Thank you again!
I went to Carriage House for my first time ever trying on dresses. Anna was amazing to work with! She was so patient with us and knew the stock like the back of her hand. She pulled a lot of dresses that were just what I described and explained how I could customize the gown. She was very honest throughout the process, and overall it was a fantastic first experience!
I made an appointment to go in this shop I'd run past a million times dreaming of having a wedding fitting there. While, the shop owner was nice. I called about a week before to see if they had anything in my size because I actually wanted to TRY ON a dress to see how it fit. I'm bigger than a size 10 and they had nothing in the shop. They could fly something in to try on, but it was going to cost money and there were no guarantees. So, if you are a little fluffy, I'd skip this disappointment altogether.
Horrible customer service!!! We ordered our "made to measure" dress in March, 2015. It was at least a size too small when it arrived in October! They said she must have gained weight but the dress was way to big on the top and too small around the knees. They assured us they could "let it out". That was almost three weeks ago. They will not return our calls and have not scheduled another fitting. When I spoke to Caroline, the owner, she was incredibly un-business like. The wedding is ONE MONTH away and we have no dress at his point! . I do not recommend Carriage House.
I drove by this place for years and always wanted to go in and when I finally did I was seriously underwhelmed. I thought I would be able to try on a LOT more dresses in my price range, but there was really only 1 dress that was $2000. I had actually already bought my dress but had to keep my appointment or they would charge me, so I upped my price range just for fun, and even then I didn't like any of the dresses they had, and the trying-on experience wasn't any good. There wasn't private dressing room for me, and the bathroom for the whole store was in my "dressing room" so everyone got to walk in while I was doing my horribly ugly dress dance. It really wasn't very fun and there was a LOT of pressure to get these dresses I really didn't like. I can't image what it would've been like if I hadn't already had a dress.
I LOVED my wedding dress! Carriage House helped me every step of the way- and their seamstress was AMAZING. She was able to alter the gown to make it fit perfectly!!! I couldn't have been happier with my Amsale gown!
The dress I bought from Carriage House was absolutely gorgeous. Caroline, the shop owner is really sweet and helps you find the perfect dress. However, the prices are very high. After paying for the dress, you have to have it altered by the owner's seamstress, who like in most boutique stores works freelance. For alterations I ended up spending way more than I had planned for. Although the seamstress is a very nice lady, I did not feel like the work she did was amazing, and certainly not worth how much I paid for it. SO, the shop itself is great, but if possible I would recommend going to a different seamstress for alterations.
I had heard that the Carriage House was super expensive and that I shouldn't go in there because I would find a dress that was out of my budget...and then nothing would compare anywhere else. I decided to just go and look. However, one of the consultants picked out some dresses that were in my price range, and I tried them on. She brought out one that I wasn't too sure about, but when I tried it on, it was perfect!! And it was a sample dress, so I got a major deal!! I look at a picture of it almost every day because I just think it's the most beautiful thing!! I can't wait to wear it!! Also, the consultant and Caroline were both very helpful and spent a LOT of time with me.
Shopping at the Carriage House was a magical experience! I tried on several couture dresses and felt so pampered during the process! I found "the one" here - and was so pleased with the pricing as they worked with my budget. Wearing my Mila dress on the special day was magical and I couldn't be happier with my purchase from this special place!
Yes, I found THE perfect dress for my wedding day with the help of Caroline. She was very helpful, listened to what I imagined, my style and price range and was able to work with me. I love the way this dress shop does business - they make you feel so special from the moment you walk through the door. They also have the best seamstress to make sure your dress fits you perfectly!
I was able to get a dress through Carriage House in Birmingham because of their annual summer sale. It's a crazy day and there are tons of brides there and there is not as much one on one attention, but it enables you to buy a really elegant, expensive dress for CHEAP! My dress was $500 and originally retailed for thousands. It was perfect for me! Plus, even though there was a ton of activity I got a lot of personal attention from two workers at Carriage House and it was actually one of the consultants that got me to try on the dress I ended up buying! They were very helpful and I'd recommend the sample sale to anyone!
Looked at many places and dresses before I found "the one"! Caroline was wonderful friendly and truly a joy to work with! The shop is charming and just the experience you want when trying to find your dress.
Caroline Williams is an expert within the Wedding Dress category! Because of the specific instructions in the ordering of my dress, the only alterations that had to be made were the hem. She is a perfectionist with detail and great to work with!
Carriage House carries the most gorgeous wedding gowns of the upmost quality. They are very willing to go out of their way to help the bride feel at ease while picking her dress.
