Country bridals was an absolutely amazing bridal shop and I had the best experience with them! They were pleasant, extremely helpful, uplifting when I was feeling discouraged, and my overall experience was 1000% better than at David’s Bridal.

I had a very smooth experience with Country Bridal. I loved that we had the entire store for a few hours to look around and try on. My dress was beyond what I could have asked for. I went in with a vision and got everything I wanted and then some. Kaleigh was super sweet and listened and understood everything I asked for. I was lucky enough that my dress fit like a glove. I only needed alterations to the straps and addition of pins to hold up my train. They did it all in store for me.
And of course you can't beat the beauty of Jaffrey.

I had such a great experience getting my dress from country bridals. When I first went in, it was my first time trying wedding dresses, but they were so kind and accommodating. I also liked that they let my mom help me get dressed. I had an idea of what I wanted and they were great about pulling things that fit that idea and when I thought I was changing my mind about what I wanted, they were really accommodating of that as well. I ended up really loving a dress but wanting to sleep on it. In the meantime, I tried dresses at another store and my experience there really shed light on just how great Country Bridals is because at the other store, they were pushy and I didn't feel good about my body image, but at Country Bridals, I felt like they just wanted me to find the right dress, whether it was from their store or not. I ended up going back to Country Bridals to try on my favorite dress again and figured while I was there, I would pull some from the racks. I ended up falling in love with a different dress and bought it off the rack!!! The alterations process was great as well. They altered a jumpsuit and veil for me and did a great job on my dress, but when I decided I wanted the straps a little tighter and the bustle higher, they made those changes quickly and the final product was just perfect! They even had great advice on how to find the hooks for the bustle which came in handy on the wedding day!

Country Bridals is a small yet mighty shop. It was easy to book appointments online and we had the shop to ourselves to run free looking for the perfect dress. They had plenty of styles at various price ranges, but they didn't have so many options that it was overwhelming. The only negative was when my mom went to find a dress for herself and I wasn't able to go, a man was there to assist her.. She would need help with zippers due to an injury and was very uncomfortable with the idea of a male stranger seeing her not fully clothed. Some notification of who would be there to assist would have been appreciated. Aside from that, Country Bridals was wonderful!

My dress was absolutely gorgeous!! The alterations were done on time and I didn’t have to have them fix anything. I went way outside my budget with the dress but I was absolutely in love! Everyone was so helpful, friendly, and nice. I didn’t feel like I was pushed or rushed at all. They really make you feel like you are the only person they are working with. Everyone at my wedding was complimenting the dress and asking where I got it from. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Like many trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic - after changing plans four times, my partner and I decided to take 2020 back and elope. I had originally wanted to get a custom dress made (I'm over 6' and have long limbs), but with this new plan I had to find a dress in a matter of six weeks. I found some (begrudgingly) that I thought would fit my picky taste - and the closest shop that carried them was Country Bridals. An hour and a half each way from me. It's my wedding day, who cares about the drive - let's make the appointment. From beginning to end I worked with Elicia and honestly, she was a pleasure to work with. She pulled a ton of dresses for me - and when I tried on my #1 pick first and uh, hated it - she had plenty for me to try on. I am not great at trying on clothes, nevermind something this important, and I get uncomfortable with feeling like "a burden" - despite my anxiety, Elicia made sure that I was comfortable and that the appointment was going smoothly throughout my 90 minute appointment. Ironically, I found a dress that I never would have picked out - and fell in love with it. (You hear things like that - that you'll 'know' when you find the dress - I always thought it sounded corny, but looking in the mirror that first time - I knew). To make a long review shorter - I had to make two more trips (alterations, and then final try on) to Jaffrey and I can truly say that those 9 hours of driving were worth it. (Even after googling my dress after my appt and realizing that my dress I had just ordered was in a shop 5 minutes from me - that's how much I liked Country Bridals). They take covid seriously, they're affordable, and the alterations were done well and very quickly. I cannot recommend them enough - if my driving that much for a dress I could have gotten closer isn't an indicator, I don't know what is. Thank you again, Elicia and staff!

Country Bridals was amazing! Everyone at the store was beyond helpful as I tried on several dresses and narrowed it down to the perfect dress for me! They helped with my veil and allowed me to bring in my bridesmaid dresses to make sure it was the look for me. Even with my alterations I couldn’t have asked for more. The day of my final fitting they helped to sew on lace when I was worried about seeing the cup of my dress. I was so happy with everything they did and their customer service was top notch. Not to mention I STILL love my dress.

I had the best experience with Country Bridals. I came for two trials and both times felt like I was the only customer! They have me their full attention and seemed genuinely invested and excited to find my dream gown. I picked a dress from the mannequin in the window to try on and sure enough, it was my dress!!! I wasn’t sure what size to order (as my waist and hips are 3 sizes different!) and they helped guide me in the right direction and calmed my nerves. Buying my dress was one of the first things I did, and I felt so at home here. I was glad I came to a small shop with devoted people who clearly love what they do. They sent me a little letter reaching out after I came in, just to check in. They’re truly wonderful and I couldn’t recommend them more.

I was so excited to find that my dress (a dress that I had previously tried on in Michigan) at Country Bridals and Formal Wear after searching and making calls across all of New England! They were professional, clean, and were able to get my order in a sufficient amount of time. My only compliant was that I wish I had not let them convince me to order a dress size that ultimately ended up feeling two sizes too large.

From start to finish, I had the most flawless experience at country bridal! Casey was extremely helpful helping me sort through dozens of dresses and picking THE ONE! I valued her opinion immensely and ended up going with her favorite one, which also matched my families favorite one! The seamstress work was tediously perfected and the veil suggested to match the dress was stunning. I would recommend country bridal 10/10 times, and already have, to many brides I encounter!! Thank you again country bridal for assisting me with selecting and fitting such an important part of our day!!

Elisha was a very patient, kind, helpful consultant. I felt comfortable with her at all times in the fitting room and had her undivided attention. My custom gown was unfortunately produced about 2" too short by the vendor (Allure Bridals). Country Bridal was professional and responsive about resolving the issue and ensuring I got the right gown, with the correct dimensions, as they had carefully measured and ordered. They were flexible in allowing me to come in on a Saturday for a fitting (they typically reserve Saturday for new brides). My only complaint was honestly that my custom ordered vale was not steamed or hung up, but left folded and vacuumed sealed in the package. I would have loved to have just gotten dress on my big day and not been anxious about locating a steamer :-) All around, 4 out of 5 stars even despite the setbacks. Great family owned business!
response 06/27/2019
Amanda, I am so very sorry that the veil was missed in steaming it should have been done. ...
I will share with the girls so this doesnt happen to anyone else. You looked absolutely amazing on your wedding day. May you be blessed in your marriage.

I popped in here with my mom after visiting my venue just to see if I could browse and they ended up letting me try on dresses until after they technically closed. I didn’t “say yes to the dress” as it was the very first shop I visited and it was a little far from home (although I may have to venture back and purchase mine there because I loved the shop that much), but I cannot say enough about how laid back the experience was and sweet and accommodating Cathy was. Definitely make an appointment!

I purchased my wedding dress at Country Bridal for my August wedding and couldn’t be happier with the dress and the shopping experience. I had my eye on several Rebecca Ingram gowns that they had in stock and they were great about pulling specific dresses I asked for as well as some that were a bit different, too. The staff is lovely, helpful, talented, and accommodating – particularly Vicky and Elicia and Cathy. They also did all of the alterations which were beautifully done and very reasonably priced. Thank you, Country Bridal!

Loved Country Bridals & Formals. When I went to them to look for my wedding dress they were super flexible and had a lot of really great tips. The only problem that I had came with my dress alterations. I had cups put in and my straps readjusted. On my wedding day, one of my cups fell out and I noticed that one of my straps was twisted and not attached properly. I would definitly recommend them to go to get your dress but i would go somewhere else for alterations.

I visited a few bridal stores but found the one at Country Bridal. It was a double bonus that I was planning a barn wedding so the theme fit perfectly. They were very helpful, great at communicating, and pleasant to work with. Offered advice when I prompted but wasn’t overly pushy about anything at all. Would highly recommend.

Cathy was a life-saver! I'm so happy with the service I received from Country Bridal! Let me tell you why:
My dress retailer went radio silent for several weeks and I was in a panic. It was only 74 days until my wedding and I still needed to do alterations and pick out accessories but I didn't have a dress. Mind you I had already paid in full.
Another bridal shop shared my predicament in an online forum and Cathy responded to the distress signal in less than 3 hours (and it was after hours for her timezone)! She had the same model dress on her showroom floor, in my size, AND even on sale. Within less than 24 hours Cathy found my dress, texted me pictures, packaged, and rush shipped the dress to me. Not to mention, I live in SEATTLE, WA and she's in Jaffrey, NH. I wish I could leap through the phone and kiss her I'm so pleased.
Do yourself a favor and shop at Country Bridals and Formal Wear: they're simply the best in customer service.

Right from entering the store Country Bridal was welcoming. The staff was attentive, yet not pushy. They allowed me to look at all their beautiful dresses and find something that I felt comfortable in and that fit with my personality. Yet, when I needed guidance they were more than happy to make suggestions and give advice.
I found the dress of my dreams at Country Bridal and enjoyed the experience. Their alterations were affordable and the dress was flawless.
Thanks Country Bridal staff!

My wedding dress shopping experience was exceptional thanks to the staff at Country Bridals. They were very accommodating and took time to ask me what I was looking for and help me find the perfect dress within my budget. During my first appointment, I had my own dressing room and staff member helping myself, mother, mother in law, and MOH pull dresses off the rack. It was fun for everyone to get their hands on the dresses and bring them into the dressing room. We all felt we had a great experience shopping at a small boutique. Cathy was phenomenal when it came time for alterations. She made sure I was 100% happy with the dress before we left. She also took the time to offer suggestions regarding how/when to bustle the dress and recommended having someone as your designated "dress fluffer" before walking down the aisle. I would highly recommend Country Bridals to anyone shopping for a wedding dress.

I have been going to Country Bridals for many different events over the years, but my bridal experience was absolutely fantastic. Vicki and Cathy definitely know what they are doing. The place is beautiful, the atmosphere was not stressful even in the slightest, and the customer service was phenomenal. I came in thinking I knew exactly what I wanted, and after trying on lots of options that Vicki pulled I ended up going with a completely different style! She knew me better than I knew myself! I couldn't have been more satisfied with my experience.

I went in so many bridal shops, but this one was different from the first moment. I had a big changing room, and the girl I worked with asked me my budget, what I was looking for, and how much help I needed. They were not pushy at all, and really paid attention to what I said I liked and didn't like about every dress. I'm a bigger girl, and yet that was never an issue as they had many samples in many sizes. If it didn't fit they were more than willing to pin me or clip me so I could see the dress, and worked within my budget. I also had a tight timeframe, and they were able to check what dresses would be available in time. Very knowledgeable.
Every trip to this store was a pleasure and worth the hour drive. They were friendly, and put up with my indecision very well. It was a big decision and they were super understanding and helpful.
When it came time for alterations they worked with me to get everything right, and held the dress until a few days before the wedding. The girl I worked with for alterations was wonderful, and super helpful. I never once felt like they didn't want to help me .
I was very apprehensive about dress shopping, especially after having a poor experience at some other bridal shops. Country Bridal made up for it and more. I honestly wish I could give them more than 5 stars.

Country Bridal's was the second place that I went to try on gowns and I absolutely love my dress!! We went with an allure and did the four inches shorter option because I'm petite and it fit almost perfectly. When I went to pick up my dress, they were very nice and accommodating to me.
My mother and bridesmaids had very different experiences with them. I had 9 bridesmaids, 6 of whom were out of state, so they called and gave their measurements verbally. Their dresses were disasters. Two of them needed major reconstruction because they either could not get their dress on or they could but had trouble breathing. Two others were too small. When my mom, who is very non-confrontational, went to the store and explained this to them, they were rude and told her that the store was not responsible for weight gain (none of my bridesmaids or had gained any weight). They later told us that the particular designer ran small (why they didn't tell us this beforehand really ticks me off because that could have saved us a lot of trouble). My sister, who is local and had her measurements done in the store, had to go somewhere else to have her dress taken out because they told her it couldn't go out any more even though she literally couldn't breathe. I'm am very unimpressed with the service at Country Bridal.

Amazing. I went to Country Bridals because I was unhappy with my original choice for a wedding dress, so I was in a serious bind. I arrived at 4 pm on a Thursday, and after trying on 25+ dresses, chose a size 12 dress I loved. The problem is that I'm a size 4! They completely tailored the dress to fit me perfectly, and I picked up the dress the next day at noon!! I never once felt rushed or felt as though I was putting them out in any way. They were gracious, happy, positive and wonderful!! I loved their honest approach and sincere care they took to make me happy. The best part?? My dress was amazing!! It fit my personality to a tee.....was "adorable," beautiful and just perfect. If I could give Country Bridals 10 stars instead of 5, I would!

The staff was so accommodating, I brought five adults and my flower girl with me. The young girl helping me was wonderful and patient with me. I could not deicide between two dresses and she did not make me feel rushed. The only thing I wish they told me was that they do there alterations by wedding date. I only had my dress hemmed and a belt tacked on, but I had to wait till a week before my wedding to pick it up. I will say when I picked it up and had my final fitting the dress was a tad long and the women fixed it right then and there!
I would highly recommend this shop to anyone!

The staff at Country Bridal are excited to take this journey with you - from choosing a gown to making that gown 'fit like a glove'; I felt taken care of and as if I were the only client they were working with.
You will have a very personalized experience if you chose Country Bridal. Country Bridal offers fair prices and you will have the backing of talented, caring and knowledgeable staff to help you work through any hurdles and also to celebrate each successful step of the wedding gown process with.

My experience at Country Bridals was nothing short of fantastic! They have so many dresses to choose from and the first dress I tried on was 'THE ONE'! The staff was kind, and genuine, and they gave me their undivided attention the whole time! I never once felt rushed. I found my gown, bridesmaid dresses, and tuxedos all at Country Bridals! I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know who is getting married! :)

I picked out my gown on my first trip to Country Bridals. The girls in the shop were so patient and helpful! They have a large selection of dresses covering a wide budget. The gowns are all name brand. If we hadn't already picked out the guys' tuxes we would have gotten them from Country Bridals, too. I am obsessed with my dress and I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone!

I had a wonderful experience purchasing my wedding dress at Country Bridals! I visited many different bridal salons in search of the perfect wedding dress, and the vibe at each of them were very different. I felt pressured, stressed, and rushed at several, but not at Country Bridals. Ultimately, I found a few different dresses I liked, all of which Country Bridals carried, except the one I liked most. But, I went back to Country Bridals because I enjoyed my experience there most, and since they carried the designer, they informed me that I could purchase it through them (they also had the best price!!!). Ideally, I wanted to try on my top choices side by side, so they went above and beyond and custom ordered my "top" dress so that I could try it on in there store alongside the others I liked.
They carry great lines and have a TON of absolutely stunning dresses. The associates are all warm and friendly and kind, helpful but not pushy. I never felt pressured. I was able to browse and pull dresses I liked, and the associates also pulled a few that they thought I might like as well. It's a relaxed environment, I never felt rushed, and they were always incredibly accommodating. They let me take pictures of the different gowns, which was incredibly helpful since I tried on so many (some other salons don't allow this)! My bridesmaid was running late to my appointment on my third visit (when I had the chance to try on all my favorites together, including the one they custom ordered, and ended up purchasing my dress!) and they didn't mind at all that I waited for her to get there. They were very responsive over email. It's an incredibly comfortable and wonderful shopping experience.
My alterations have not been done yet, so I can't comment on that yet, but will update my review after those are complete! Thanks Country Bridals!

I was having a hard time finding the dress and had visited many other bridal shops in my area. I was hesitant to visit Country Bridal at first since it was a bit of a drive from my home. They carried a number of designers that I generally liked so I decided I should make the time to visit.
My mom, maid of honor and I finally took the trip out there and it was such a great experience. Adrien helped us pick out a few dresses and was great at taking feedback of what I liked and didn't like from dress to dress. She let me take my time in each dress because to me, I need to feel like this dress is the me I want to be on my wedding day. Adrien didn't rush me like I had been rushed at other bridal shops to make a decision. I got stuck between two beautiful (but very different) dresses and Adrien took the time to help me see what the whole picture would like on the day.
I was still struggling to pick so Cathy and the staff were kind enough to let us run down the street (an adorable small town main street) to eat lunch to think about it. When we came back the decision came easy. Country Bridal also has a nice collection of bridesmaids dresses that my maid of honor tried on hassle-free to get an idea of what she looks good in.
I'm so glad I took the trip out to Jaffrey to visit Country Bridal. I was worried that I wouldn't get the sparkly dress I hoped for, but I found it surprisingly affordable there in Jaffrey. It may be a little out of the way, but it was such a lovely day trip with the shops around town and fun events on the town square. We had a great lunch topped off with some amazing pumpkin whoopie pies for dessert. We've made the trip out there twice so far and both times it's been worth while.
Thanks so much Country Bridal!

What a fabulous experience we had at Country Bridals! We had been to a number of other bridal shops in NH but she was unsuccessful in finding "The One." From the moment we entered the store the whole staff was warm and friendly as well as professional and knowledgeable. There was a large selection of styles from a number of designers. Adrien listened to what my daughter had envisioned for her dream dress and found it. Well, actually she found TWO gorgeous dresses that she loved. The hardest part was choosing THE perfect dress. The staff worked it out so we could go to lunch and return later that afternoon to make the decision. It was exactly what my daughter needed to pick her perfect dream dress as the decision was quick and definitive. From start to finish we have warm, wonderful memories of this special day. It was well worth her trip from Chichester, NH!

The staff at Country Bridals was very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. They provided a perfect balance of offering suggestion and allow my party to search through the selection. The quality and quantity of their selection is impressive. They had a variety of styles and designers. The alteration made my dress very comfortable and the perfect fit. It was a wonderful experience!

I spent an afternoon with Andrea picking out my dress. She was patient, kind, and made the perfect suggestion to help make the dress exactly what I needed. We also got the bridesmaids dresses and tuxedos there. We are thrilled with their friendliness and service. Thank you for our fabulous wedding day attire!

Getting ready for my wedding has NOT been easy. Before coming to country bridal i went through three dresses, they simply did not look good, didnt fit, or weren't to my standard. I received some advice from a co-worker of mine to try this place out (as she had gotten her dress from there, and was STUNNING BTW!) I went in there with not a lot in mind. I had no idea what i wanted, what color, what size i was, what details i wanted, absolutely NOTHING. i tried dresses on, all of them were absolutely gorgeous. but this one in particular. lace top with a ballroom gown, was beautiful, i automatically knew it was the one for me. They stood me upon a stool and told me about my dress and were very accommodating. they let me pay for my dress in increments, they sent me cards, emails, and even called me on a weekly basis to tell me about my dress and ask how i was doing. They are so caring, passionate about their job... its just a fantastic place!

I have been visiting country bridals since I was in middle school in search of my first semi-formal dress... many years, 2 semi- formal dresses, 2 prom dresses, and 3 bridesmaid dresses later, it was my turn to look for a wedding gown of my very own!
Kathy and her team are AWESOME! The store is great, set in the beautiful town of Jaffrey, that I now call home!
I would highly highly recommend this store for anyone's wedding gown, mother-of-the bride/ groom gown, bridesmaid dress etc... you want it, they've got it!

Cathy and her team of wedding dress gurus at Country Bridals are simply amazing! They really came through for me when my wedding dress "situation" - and oh boy was it a situation - with another bridal shop became completely unbelievable. I absolutely can't recommend Country Bridals highly enough! Here's the short version of the story: I had tried on and liked several dresses at Country Bridals about a year before my wedding, but (unfortunately!) I decided to purchase a dress at a different bridal shop in the area. Bad decision. A month - a month! - before my wedding I still had no wedding dress from the other bridal shop (which shall remain nameless). This was NOT my fault; I had ordered my dress WAY in advance and had paid a 50% deposit. I don't know about you, but I'd guess that most brides expect to have their dress come in a lot earlier than that. It turns out it was due to a HUGE error and ABYSMAL communication on their part. Apparently, my dress had been ordered and was ready and waiting at Allure Bridals FOR MONTHS, all the while the nameless bridal shop was telling me that my dress just wasn't in yet (foisting the blame onto Allure which was just plain WRONG). I will spare you the rest of the unbelievable and stressful details of my attempts to work with this other bridal shop. Ultimately, I contacted Country Bridals in a panic about a month before my wedding, and Cathy was able to work some kind of magic! I was able to purchase my dress - the one that was ready for me at Allure - through Country Bridals instead. Cathy not only had my dress shipped from Allure to Country Bridals within a week, she also quickly scheduled a fitting for my alterations (which were thankfully minimal) and completed them quickly. I still ended up getting my dress way to close to the wedding for comfort(it was ready a week before my wedding day, and my Mom picked it up literally two days before the wedding). In the end, I did get to wear the dress I originally wanted and ordered, and it was all because Cathy was willing to help me, an unknown, stressed-out, disillusioned bride. She and her staff were professional, courteous, and did their ABSOLUTE BEST to handle a bride and mother-of-the-bride who had been sorely disappointed and majorly stressed out by the other nameless bridal shop. If this is how Country Bridals handles a last minute, completely insane situation, I can only imagine how pleasant it must be to work with them in a normal wedding timeline. My biggest regret is that I did not purchase my wedding dress from Country Bridals from the start. My advice for southern New Hampshire brides: if you're going the traditional white wedding dress route, do yourself a BIG favor and buy it from Country Bridals!!!!

Everyone at Country Bridals in Jaffrey, NH is wonderful! They are not at all pushy and will help you find the dress of your dreams! Christina found my dress, and on the sale rack of all places! The entire staff was so helpful, we bought my dress, a beaded belt and my mom's dress too. All of the alterations were perfect and the bustle of my wedding dress was so pretty! You wouldn't believe that this amazing store exists out in Jaffrey. Check it out-you won't be disappointed!!
