Fantasia Bridal

dream dress there! I guarantee it." I didn't have high expectations that that would actually happen, but I went with an open mind on December 31st. Sure enough, I DID find my dream dress! Keep in mind -- this was December 31st, and the bridal shop literally stayed open later for my appointment. Alicia was incredibly patient. For two whole hours, she brought me dresses to try on and let me stare at myself in thought. I'm still embarrassed that I spent two hours doing that without a clue as to the passing time -- but that's the amazing part of it. Alicia and her crew weren't pushy at all, letting me take my time considering each dress. What I also loved was she gave me a variety of dresses to try that were all comfortably within my requested price range. Some exactly matched what I was describing, and others were surprising, fun, and out-of-the-box. After trying on a slew of dresses, I finally put on the Bianca Marie by Maggie Sottero and knew immediately -- I was down with the gown! It was exactly what I was searching for, and Alicia was the one to help me find it. The Fantasia Bridal experience only gets better though -- after I found my dress, it took Alicia just a few minutes to find the PERFECT veil to go with it -- and it was priced at a generous discount! The fact that they have an alterations team in the same store makes it EVEN better. Maria was an absolute charm and is incredible at her craft. Her alterations made my dress fit like a glove in just a few fittings, and everyone was raving about her beautiful bustles! I can't praise Fantasia enough for their service -- SO happy my florist recommended me to their store! I absolutely LOVE my gown and veil, and wouldn't change a thing about them! Complete satisfaction!

ayer was not sewn correctly to the bottom layer - to fix this they said I could pay for alterations (they wanted $50 before even determining the alterations I would need) 3. Without removing the entire top layer and resewing the whole dress, it wouldn't fix the issue so I declined alterations but asked them to make the slit higher in the dress. 4. Three weeks later, I came back to pick up the dress and they never made the slit higher and stated that it wasn't even written down to have it done. The wedding is now in a week and a half and they told me that I could pick it up in a week.

ery valuable input, and was so kind and personable. Everything about that day was wonderful. I wound up finding my dress that day and loved it so much but was unsure what to do because it was my first stop. Even though I knew I wanted this dress, I didn't know if it was a bad idea to cancel all other appointments at other salons. Since it was my first stop, they told me to keep my other appointments, which I thought to be so real and wonderful. After going only to one other (larger) bridal salon, I did not have an experience even close to the one I had at Fantasia and cancelled my other appointments. I wound up coming back to Fantasia THREE times to try on that same dress before making my final decision! They were SO patient with me and Alicia and everyone in the store made me feel so great and special in my dress and as a bride. It really was a magical experience, one that I always dreamed of when trying on my wedding dress. After I finally decided, the girls at Fantasia helped me make some changes to the dress (adding buttons, a sparkly belt, and bringing up some of the illusion plunging neck). They made it so easy for me to ask for these changes. When I went back for my fittings, Candy was so wonderful and helpful. They were once again so patient with me and took the time I needed to feel 100% comfortable. I am so sad that my time visiting Fantasia is over! They were all such a pleasure to work with and truly make you feel so special and cared for. I would recommend Fantasia 100 times if I could!

t I was looking for but also had me try other styles as well!! This helped me to know exactly which dress was the one!!!! I found my perfect dress on my very first appointment with Candy!! Thank you to Alicia and Candy! I highly recommend Fantasia Bridal!!!!

n fit my body perfectly. I appreciate the staff at Fantasia Bridal for the time they took with me every time I went into the salon and their attention to detail. I could not be happier with my experience. Thank you for making what could have been a complicated process so easy! Nicole Sarro

HERE - you will not regret it!

ress I tried on was the one! I cried, my best friend/bridesmaid cried and Lori cried too!! She really shared the special moment with us and I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasurable experience. Maria was my seamstress and her work was amazing throughout all my fittings. I would recommend them to anyone!!!! <3

finitely recommend Fantasia to every bride looking for a gorgeous dress and A+++ customer service!!

alterations. They were precise and extremely detailed to make sure my dress was perfect. They even delivered my dress to my hotel! The owner was always checking in on me even after my wedding to see how everything was. I really loved my experience at Fantasia and would recommend them to everyone!!! TEN STARS!!!!

appointment and the consultant knew nothing, it was like she didn’t even look at the information I gave in the questionnaire that they had me fill out. She had no idea I was getting married in 4 months. Every dress I tried on was black around the bottom, the dresses were not well taken care of. I gave the consultant my budget and she pulled dresses that were over budget. I ended up canceling my appointment for bridesmaids dresses because the second shop I went to was amazing, everything was spotless and the consultants were so helpful and listened to budget and were mindful of my budget and took alterations into consideration. I don’t recommend Fanastia.

ow my dress would fit. My fears were founded when I couldn't get my dress past my hips at my first fitting. I was devastated...Fantasia Bridal saved the day when they offered the sample version of the exact same dress that I had purchased from them in exchange for my original dress. I required lots of alterations due to my growing belly in addition to sleeves which were added on. Even though I never envisioned myself as a pregnant bride, I can honestly say thanks to Fantasia Bridal, I never felt more beautiful!!! In the end, I got a beautiful wedding dress, my veil, headpiece, and my bridesmaids dresses from Fantasia and everything was great!!

py with my gown and veil. They even carry custom shoes. My fiance has now decided to purchase his tuxedo there also. I would highly recommend this bridal salon.

make my vision a reality! The gown came out PERFECT! I'm very grateful to Alicia and all the ladies at Fantasia Bridal for their help!! Thank you!

yes, my girls did it right. It wouldn’t stay bustled. Also, the loops for the bustle were white and weren’t pulled in. So they stuck out during the ceremony. It was an eyesore. After talking to the owner, the most she would do is let me bring my dress there to get preserved. Well, I don’t trust this place anymore. And definitely don’t trust them with my dress. My girls have already tossed heir dresses because they were so badly altered that they will not wear them again. Please look elsewhere for a dress for your magical day

e able to have their dresses altered at the salon. My only gripe might be that the attitude of the sales person was so different before we picked out our dress vs. follow up visits. She was not as friendly and actually seemed a little cold. Maybe it was a bad day for her? But as far as hang ups, there were none. My dress was ready on time and I felt amazing!

e we met for an appointment. Candy was the attendant we worked with the most and we just adored her! She is fabulous! Kind, funny, caring, loving, knowledgeable and genuine! Couldn’t ask for a better person to help you “Get Down with the Gown!”. Gina was fantastic as well! She was so helpful, patient and kind! Couldn’t be more thankful to these ladies! Thank you Fantasia for everything!

elt to my headpiece! Their seamstress was great, she was able to make my dress fit like a glove! I was very nervous about a strapless gown, but she fitted it so well it didn't move all night! EVERYONE should visit FANTASIA for their gowns. My girls looked absolutely amazing in their Bari Jay bridesmaid dresses. I was so thankful Fantasia has such a large selection of bridesmaid dresses and so many colors, so I could see them all in person. TRULY WONDERFUL!!!!!!

was over, which left me holding my dress while dancing, which is unfortunate since I spent $525 on alterations and the bustle. I am disappointed that something that cost so much didn't hold up for the most important day of my life thus far. While in the store, the ladies were helpful and nice, but book early because it wasn't always easy to get an evening appointment! As stated, my alterations cost me $525 and I only got the dress taken in, a bustle and belt added - no length was taken off, so you can expect to be charged more if your dress needed to be shortened. Additionally, I had to go back for another fitting because my dress was taken in too much around the ribs after my first fitting. I had only been losing weight, and the seamstress took it in too much around an area where I could not possibly lose more weight (around the rib cage). What was comical was that it was briefly implied that maybe I gained weight. Otherwise, it was a fine experience. They packed my dress up well and steamed it for me as I waited to take it home.

short of amazing as well! From picking the dress straight to the alterations. Ironically i ended up with the same exact seamstress my aunt did many years ago and couldn't be happier. I was so concerned about how the bustle would be as I had a certain idea in mind and Maria accomplished everything and then some of what i wanted. She is an amazing seamstress. She even did some custom work for my "something blue" on my dress and I couldn't be happier with everything. I was almost in tears when i tried on my dress at my final fitting. Thank you for making my dress and the entire process PERFECT!

e about dresses only when asked and not forcing her opinion, and knew exactly what the dresses would look like when fitted and altered. I found a dress here that I loved at another store as well, and it was over $500 cheaper at Fantasia! (Their Mother of the Bride dresses were pretty expensive though.) I would definitely recommend every bride on LI try this store!

whom I met after literally sobbing my eyes out, quickly rectified the situation and the end result was a beautiful dress that fit me perfectly, but why go through the tears and stress with these people???

ptions to pick from, and the styles I chose looked amazing on everyone! My mothers dress was gorgeous as well. There were so many options to pick from for her, and she was truly worried about not finding something she would like. She bought the FIRST DRESS she tried on! The attendants there are so helpful and happy and I highly suggest looking here whether its for your wedding gown, moms gowns, bridesmaids, jewelry, shoes and so much more!

n during some serious times of panic when the other salon "forgot" to order my veil) and Alicia (the owner) truly saved my dress buying experience. She picked up the pieces when they had no obligation to. I got my alterations done there, bought my new veil, and even got the tuxedos there (see my review on them below=also awesome). The associates and Alicia really care about you as a bride and there is really a "family feel" you get when you walk into this shop. They are professional, friendly, and truly life changers. Thank you for all your help!! I highly recommend to all brides and bridal parties !!! Tuxedos: We had such a great experience here! My groom does not wear suits (he's a carpenter) and I had no idea what I was doing so we were going in pretty blind. The staff was so patient and helpful!! They were so knowledgeable, answered all my questions (all 50 million of them) and were able to give us so many great options. They were professional and followed up with me in the days leading up to the event to ensure my order was perfect, and that it was. Everything looked perfect and our guys said the shoes (they were the brown shoes) were the most comfortable ones they ever wore. I loved working with them and I highly recommend them!!

as unbelievably beautiful. They worked with me on all the little details and if there was anything I needed they were always there to help. I fell in love with the ladies that helped me Gina, Alicia, Marie, and Candy! Gina came out to my hotel on my wedding day to tie up my dress and my bridesmaids dress and she brought me a personalized survival kit, I can't say enough good things about Fantasia!!

ry single person on staff is happy to be there and loves what she does. Jackie helped me find the perfect dress and was such a joy to work with. Jackie knows the inventory so well that she was actually the one to pick out my dream wedding gown after listening and watching my reaction to other gowns as I was trying them on. I did not encounter this level of service at any of the other salons I visited during my initial gown search. Fantasia Bridal is the best place to get your wedding garments, whether it's your gown, headpiece, shoes, tuxedo, bridesmaids dresses, or mother-of-bride/groom outfits!

re that the fit was perfect!!! Literally up until two days before the wedding they worked on my dress. It was absolutely perfect. The girls did not let me or my husband down :) It was such a pleasure to see everyone for all the fittings. They make you feel like you're the most beautiful girl in the world. Thank you guys for creating my dream dress.

al dresses until we found my dream dress! It was actually within my very tight budget as well! I then proceeded to get my very affordable bridesmaid dresses from Fantasia as well and everyone's dress came in earlier than expected! The seamstress was amazing and she fit the dress to my body perfectly. We all looked wonderful in our gowns thanks to Alicia and the helpful staff at Fantasia!

straps for me... the designer eventually sent them and the ones fantasia personally designed for me were 100 times better that I went with theirs. My dress was stunning and I have received so many compliments about it. I could not have done it without the staff at Fantasia Bridal. I have recommended them and will continue to do so. One of my friends just found their dress there and said how wonderfully they were as well. Thank you so much for all your help and making my day perfect!

ecial, I will never forget it. I found THE gown my 2nd dress in, and Alicia noticed that before we showed my family. She suggested let's hold off and show it last-which we did, and everyone was in tears! I cannot suggest Gantasia Bridal enough. If you're looking for hat extra special experience, to be treated like a one of a kind bride and princess's, then Fantasia bridal is THE one and only place you need to go!

here! Ya'll are the best! Go check them out!

ob, and kept the integrity of my unique dress. My only suggestion would be for brides to go in and stick to their guts. If you know an alteration goes against what you want, don't do it. The seamstress doesn't always know best and it's important to stay true to yourself and you know your body best. When I brought this up to Alicia after my wedding, she agreed, and was going to address it with her seamstresses to make sure brides are heard during the process. Alicia and her staff are incredible, they worked tirelessly to help me look incredible on my wedding day and to feel like the only bride in the room throughout the process.

one of a kind! I will always recommend them to anyone who is newly engaged and looking for there dream dress with a magical experience to go along with it!

nly had wonderful experiences with them and would highly recommend them!

multiple fittings until the dress was exactly what I wanted. It was perfect! I highly recommend these wonderful ladies at Fantasia!

ls have truly gone above and beyond (especially Val) in helping me, my mom and my bridesmaids with our dresses! They really make you feel special and not like just another customer! Alicia is such a sweetheart and really knows her stuff. I tried on at least 30 dresses and they were all very patient and wanted me to find the perfect dress. They have a huge variety to choose from, all sizes and styles and carry many different designers! I ended up getting the very first dress I tried on! I also got my shoes, slip, veil and jewelry at Fantasia! They have everything you need for reasonable prices! I needed a lot of alterations on my dress and it looked absolutely perfect! I have been getting so many compliments on my dress, my moms dress and the bridesmaid dresses! I would highly recommend Fantasia Bridal to anyone and everyone! Thank you again to Alicia and all the wonderful staff at Fantasia Bridal for making me feel like a princess on my wedding day!

s I picked out was absolutely beautiful but I am self conscious of my arms and this dress happened to be strapless. Well in a matter of seconds the staff at Fantasia put their minds together and found the most beautiful detailed sleeves to add to my dress. The seamstress got right to work and before I knew it I had a custom dress that looked like it was made that way. I received the most amazing compliments the day of my wedding and my guests are still talking about how much they loved my dress! I had the honor to work directly with the owner Alicia as well as many members of her staff and each one made me feel just as special and relaxed as the next. If you want a bridal store you can trust throughout the whole wedding process then Fantasia Bridal is the place for you!

t to me so I bought it. They made me come in January for my alterations 9 weeks before my wedding and she said she did not remember telling me she could fit it to me, it was too big and she could only size down 2 sizes. If she would have told me that in the first place I would not have bought that dress!! They called other states to see if they could find the discontinued dress in another size while I waited for 2 hours standing in my pinned dress. They found a size 2 in virginia and were going to send it to me. Two days later I get a call and they can't get my dress and say I need to come look for a new one. The level of frustration and stress I was feeling was crazy and on top of that the pressure to now find a new dress in 8 weeks! So I went to David's bridal that night found nothing, the next morning I went to Fantasia Bridal and they were so great. They said to look for a new dress but also have my dad bring my old dress so their seamstress could look at it and see if there was anything she could do. So I did find a dress I loved in there as a back up but when my dad brought in my original dress the seamstress pinned me up and said no problem she could definitely do it and have it ready for my wedding. Their customer service was so great and you could tell they really do care about their brides being happy even if they don't buy the dress from there. Their seamstress Effi pinned my dress a lot better than the seamstress at David's Bridal, she actually knew what she was doing. I would recommend going to them before any other bridal store. Gabby helped me try on dresses she was awesome as well and spent a lot of time helping us out and relieving stress.

s it was too long and I was tripping all over it. Two days before my wedding I came back for another fitting and they were very late for my appointment and my dress was now too short!!! They then proceeded to yell at me and my family! They made my 83 year old grandmother cry!!!!! On my wedding day I walked down the aisle in a dress that was too short, they never bothered to take any material in around my waist and in the pictures I noticed how loose it looked! Also they never hid any of the loops for the train. I received a Facebook message from Alicia who is apparently in charge there but when I told her what happened to me she said she knew nothing of it. After that message from her I never heard back and nothing was done for me about this nightmare. Did I mention we were forced to pay full alteration price? It was a nightmare that I wouldn't wish on any bride. All of our other vendors were amazing, I just wish my wedding dress was too.

k her name is Lucy, sorry), was really helpful. She listened to what I wanted, and after I tried on a few dresses that I had picked out, she went off and pulled a few more that she thought might work. She found me my dress! It was exactly what I wanted. The dress arrived quickly and fit almost perfectly. Other than length, it barely needed alterations. Effie (same seamstress who worked with me 2 years ago) did a great job, and the dress fit perfectly. Only issue I had was that the bustle didn't survive my wedding, but that's because my husband stepped on me and 3 buttons broke. Fortunately the dress didn't rip, just the buttons, so no problem. I don't think that was an alterations problem at all. The price for alterations is very reasonable, and they had everything ready exactly as expected. I would absolutely use this shop again.

as married in May and the oldest of four girls and I always had a dream for all my wedding details. Obviously finding the most amazing man to marry was my number one priority :), and once I became engaged to him, I knew finding my wedding dress would be my second most important detail. :) Candy was hands down the most wonderful, PATIENT, and caring bridal attendant EVER!! She listened to what I liked and picked dresses for me. The second dress I tried on made me cry, especially when she also found my perfect veil. The store was able to order extra lace to add to my dress for long sleeves, as well as extra lace for cap sleeves for my bridesmaids. The results were BREATHTAKING!!!!!!! My mother, bridesmaids, and even my grandmother bought their dresses here. I even found my headpiece tiara there as well. It was an amazing experience and I cherished all the moments I had there when I was made to feel so BEAUTIFUL. Candy referred us to the tuxedo department there and we also rented the handsome groomsmen tuxes there. Fantasia Bridal is a one-stop place for all your wedding dress needs. The owner, Alicia, is extremely dedicated and warm and listens to every concern. I am a witness to her helpfulness, dedication, and kindness. She helps ALL of her brides. I know my three sisters will be doing business with them in the future when they all become brides and I hope every bride reading this does the same! ~Lydia

but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on. The dress was simple,but I was happy. I went back again with my mom and aunt and cousins, and Christina said she had a dress she loved and thought it would look great on me. The minute she gave it to me I fell in love with it. It was so beautiful I was in tears. Everyone there was so amazing from start to finish. I would definitely recommend everyone go there.

sted other similar styles. Being a bride in her 50s, I looked for professional suggestions that suited my age, style, and interests. Christina and Sophia were right on target and I've ordered the gown I was hoping for. Fantasia Bridal has a huge inventory of bridal gowns, accessories, and lots of bridesmaids dresses, too. Christina has been readily available by phone and e mail to respond to my questions and special requests. All the ladies seem genuinely happy in their work, organized and trustworthy. I never felt rushed or pressured. Christina and Sophia are highly skilled, kind and smart. My wedding is August 2014, so I look forward to perfect fittings! I highly recommend Fantasia Bridal! You'll be happy that you've selected them for your gown.

came we needed to go back to Fantasia Bridal and Christina. I found the gown of my dreams working with Christina. She has amazing style and an eye to find the best dress for your body. If you want a gorgeous dress that's looks phenomenal on you, you MUST see her! Every appointment was made with ease. Scheduling all appointments were always at my convenience, (and my bridal party's' too..lol). The atmosphere is so warm and friendly. We all enjoyed every trip there. It's like a dress up party with all of your bridal party and Fantasia Bridal friends ; ) I recommend Fantasia to everyone!! They all have the same picture perfect experience.

e pick out my dress - which I loved and helped me with the bridesmaids dresses. However, when one of my bridesmaids went to order her dress, she dealt with another staff member, who had her order the wrong size. (My friend could barely breathe at the wedding and the dress had to be cut off of her at the end of the night!!) Alterations was a complete and total mess - with different people giving different explanations of the cost and reasons for the alterations. It was very frustrating, but once again Christina stepped in and made everything right! In the end, my dress was beautiful and fit like a glove (thanks to Christina, who pushed the seamstress to fix it for me!!) and my bridesmaids looked BEATIFUL.

with one that I would have never chosen. The dress price itself was comparable to every other dress boutique I had been to that carried Maggie Sottero gowns. The alterations were on the pricey side but the service made up for it in the end. My dress fit me like a glove and I felt like a million bucks! And my Alfred Angelo bridesmaids gown looked amazing on all 5 of my girls.

ngle time that I tried on the dress after the first day, I knew that it was the right choice for me. When I walked down the aisle on the day of my wedding, I will never forget the look on my Groom's face. The staff at fantasia is the best in the business, hands down!

y helped me to find my gown but my mother as well. The ladies at Fantasia took the time to help my bridal party (most of which were from out of town) to try on dresses at their convenience. My bridal party was able to choose which dress was just perfect for everyone involved. My husband and the groomsmen got their tuxedos from Fantasia Tuxedos. Ray and his staff were absolutely amazing. The best part of working with the Fantasia staff was that I felt right at home from the moment I walked in. I never hesitated to pick up the phone with a question because I knew that whomever answered I would be met with friendliness and professionalism. Alicia, Ray and the entire staff at Fantasia, I would like to thank you for helping to make my wedding a dream come true! XOXO

your perfect dress! I had such a fantastic experience I have recommended them to everyone I know. Alicia Is the sweetest women and has really done everything possible to make me feel comfortable and happy.

just wonderful. She listened to each of my issues and fixed them to perfection. With my bridal party dresses, they were so helpful and accomodating. I must have called them several 100 times stressing about color choices and timelines, and each time they were patient and caring. The dresses were perfect. Thank you so so much for making my day a success. I will ALWAYS recommend Fantasia and will ALWAYS use them when I need a dress. Thank you so much!

g balances. just awful!!!!!

like "a bride." When I went to Fantasia I already had "the dress" in my mind that I had already tried on else where. The girl who was helping me picked a dress that was something I never would have thought. She knew it would work with my figure and it had all the bells and whistles I wanted. The dress was STUNNING. Alterations were a piece of cake and when the time came my dress fit me like a GLOVE! It was a strapless mermaid with a french bustle. Not once did I have to hike up my dress. It was perfect! We also rented all of our tuxedos from them and it was also great. They had what I wanted, prices that were great. What's better than a one stop shop?!?!

e disappointed here!

fur cape made by the seamstress and it was the best $175 I ever spent. All of my bridesmaids dresses came from here and those that got them altered at the store fit wonderfully. I can't wait to go back for any other dress needs I may have in the future.

dn't get a chance to put the bustle together as practice before the big day. The seamstress assured me that I would be able to try the dress on at the time of pick up and do a run through of my bustle as I had 6 points. When I picked up my dress the day before my wedding, the woman said that the dress had already been pressed and cleaned and it was in the bag ready to go and said not to worry about it as my bustle was pretty simple and said I should be fine. Well on my wedding day my MOH, matron of honor, and a very good friend of my who does event planning and has done many weddings all were only able to find 4 of the 6 points and had to safety pin my dress. Not only did that bother me but i missed more than half of my cocktail hour tending to my dress. I haven't called yet to make a complaint but im not sure what they would even offer me anyways. So lesson here, make sure you and one of your girls know exactly how your bustle should look and where the points are located bc you wouldn't want to lose this time that could be spent enjoying your wedding as it goes by super fast!

rtistry that Fantasia seamstresses have. My dress was perfect and the custom work they did was truly beautiful. My bridesmaids all looked fantastic as did my mother & aunt who all had the assistance of the ladies at Fantasia. I was extremely pleased with the service and results!!!

ng personality made me feel at ease during this whole process. Fantasia Bridal has a numerous variety of dresses to choose from and I would definitely recommend it to all those women who are newly engaged.

ustomer service. Fantasia, especially Linda, was wonderful. They made the whole wedding dress process an easy one.

e, and get it altered somewhere else.

ress was stunning!!! All of my bridesmaids ordered their dresses through Fantasia and most got their alterations there and everyone was so happy with the service and they all loved their dresses!! They are so accommodating to any need and are really in the business of making their customers happy!!! I HIGHLY recommend their service!!!!!

fittings and such - I felt most comfortable with the woman who helped pick my dress, but she was never helping me at any of my appointments moving forward. I got my dress on sale for a very, very reasonable price. I am a size 0, and apparently they could only order the dress in a size 6 so I had to come for 2 alteration appointments so they could cut it down and then do the train. My alterations maxed out on their $300 limit quickly, but they don't tell you that your bustle will be another $100. Also, my mom flew to New York from Wisconsin for what we thought was the "bustle training" until the seamstress said she couldn't do it that day because the train hadn't been done yet. That bugged me, because we would've had her come to the next fitting had they told me on the phone when I said my mother was flying in for the bustle. Be pushy if you have to - I went for what they thought was my final fitting and it was still a little loose at the bust. The seamstress said "I've already taken it in so much" but my reply was "you didn't take it in enough." She did what I asked and the dress fit like a glove. People thought I went to a really expensive store, but I was happy that I didn't have to spend $10,000 for a dress that looked like it cost that much.
