Gabriella New York Bridal Salon

Ashley knew exactly how to interpret my personal style through her choices and absolutely spot-on styling. I'm excited for my fittings because I'm in love with my dress but also because being in the salon is so much fun! The atmosphere is stylish but serene. For NYC "real girls" who want a luxe look but down-to-earth service there is no place more perfect than Gabriella. The people, the atmosphere, the attention to detail...just a total pleasure. Thank you Gabriella for helping me find my dream dress, when I didn't really think I had a dream dress! I'm so thrilled to be a Gabriella girl!

to me describe my dream wedding dress and presented me with a number of beautiful options. I ended up purchasing the second dress I tried on. I just remember thinking - was it supposed to be this easy? The staff coordinated all of my fittings and Kiki did an amazing job fitting/altering all of the extensive beadwork. I felt and looked absolutely amazing on the day of my wedding and was asked multiple times about my dress. Thank you all so much!

found my dream dress and would recommend it to anyone. I loved my time spend at Gabriella. Xo

more dress for my beach wedding and couldn’t have been happier!! Highly recommend!!!

e ended up being my dress! Nicole, the manager, is wonderful and gave us individualized attention making sure I was ordering the right dress length for my height and heels. They also fit me in later that same day to try on the dress one more time before ordering. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

y bride : )

recommend!

udget (the decision was actually quite tough!) and brought out the perfect veil, which I hadn't even thought about yet, but brought the whole look together perfectly. Everyone at Gabriella is warm & welcoming, they also had fresh watermelon & rose afterwards for my friends & I. Could not recommend this salon enough & cannot wait to go back in September for my first fitting!

irst and foremost, the minute you walk through the door everyone is incredibly helpful, loving, and supportive. Ashley was my fantastic bridal consultant. I had my heart set on one dress and walked out with a completely different one because she brought one over for me that she thought would look great and it was absolutely stunning and blew me away! She was incredible! The bridal manager was walking around and also loved the dress and was so helpful and friendly. Then Nicole the store Director came over and it felt like she was a part of my Italian Family! She took my measurements and was just beyond lovely! I literally felt like she was my favorite Aunt from Jersey. I am not one to write reviews often, but when I do it is because I want other people to know how amazing something is, and Gabriella New York is that some kind of wonderful and I encourage all Brides to find your perfect gown with them. I’ve tried on so many gowns at so many other places and this by far was the most seamless and non stress filled appointment I have made. I cannot wait for my dress to come in and continuing to work with these incredible women in my bride to be journey.

and the entire experience was more than I could have dreamed of. The staff is so knowledgeable and kind. They let you browse the racks and choose dresses to try on-which is surprisingly not always the case at other bridal stores! Once they learn more about what you’re looking for they will bring in items that fit your vibe. I fell in love with the very first dress I tried on there, and ended up buying the Kelly Faetanini Maia gown. I still had one appointment scheduled that day, so I told the staff I would like to come back the next day to try the dress on again. They were so accommodating, and quickly and easily booked me in for a Saturday morning to try the dress again. The entire process was seamless and I just felt so excited to make the most important wardrobe decision of my life there. I even wanted to make a small adjustment on the straps of the dress and Nicole, the store manager, got the designer’s team on facetime to discuss the alteration. I couldn’t believe it, it felt so personal and intimate and like everyone truly cared about me, my family, and how I looked and felt on my wedding day. I can’t wait to go back for my fittings! At Gabriella’s you’re not just a number, they truly care about you and your experience and treat you like family. I would give Gabriella’s more than 5 stars if I could!

. I happened to be lucky enough to meet one of the designers showing their collection as part of a trunk show and had the most memorable day of wedding dress shopping yet. The whole exeprience was magical and although I did not get my dress here in the end. I am however considering a beautiful accessory I tried on here. I highly recommend any bride to be has this as a stop on her list!! Thank you to all the amazing team at Gabriella Bridal.

eel so grateful for my amazing stylist, Kailey Murray. She was so professional, yet warm, fun and made the experience so special. She made me feel beautiful and was so honest about styles that looked great, as well as being upfront with how pricing worked for dresses and alterations. I fell in love with the third dress I tried on but so many of the gowns I tried I loved!! Kailey informed that the designer of the dress I kept going back to would have a trunk show this weekend and that would make the dress 10% off as well as give me the chance to meet the designer. I went back yesterday for the trunk show and this visit was even better than the first. The designer was gracious and he was with me for an hour and a half, he showed me all the ways he will alter the gown to fit my body and it was an extraordinary experience. I said yes to the dress and I am so excited for what is to come with Gabriella Bridal Salon!

I can't recommend it enough. It's a must visit!

ff was super friendly and so accommodating. Even though there were other future brides trying on dresses, I felt like I was the only one in the room. There was a particular dress that I had been dying to try on that day. Unfortunately, I forgot to call and see if the dress was still available to try on because I knew it would only be in the shop for a limited time. When I arrived I was a little disappointed that the dress was not there. When I explained the situation to the staff they quickly got on the phone with the designer to locate the dress. They then sent out an employee IN A SNOWSTORM to get the dress for me. I couldn't believe it. When the dress arrived it was everything I had imagined and I will be getting married in it in October =). If you are looking for fabulous dresses and an even more fabulous staff, look no further than Gabriella's!

well lit and had plenty of space for my family. Mikayla was so wonderful and I bonded with her instantly. She pulled dresses in my price range that were exactly to my taste. I settled on a gorgeous Reem Acra sheeth that I love.

the carefully curated selection of highly unique gowns for everything from the ballroom to the beach. I got married at a beach resort in Mexico and Gabriella's had the perfect fun, yet elegant and ethereal gown by Flora Bridal based in Israel. I wore my dress from 4pm to 3am and nearly refused to take it off... I know comfort may be low on the overall wedding dress priority list, but it was actually very important day-of and Gabriella's helped ensure this. In addition to my overall happiness with my gown, my experience in the boutique, all email communications, and shipping and timeline were as promised. In fact, they over-delivered in every way. They responded to every email within 24 hours and shipped and delivered my dress earlier than anticipated!!! They even helped me order the perfect veil and referred me to a LA based seamstress that exceeded all expectations. In general, they seem to be very well connected no matter where you are located. Now that I think about it, I actually don't know what I would have done without them. They also have a variety of beautiful hair accessories and jewelry, gowns, and two piece dresses that could be perfect for a rehearsal dinner! I saw recently on Instagram that they are now carrying Australia designer, Suzanne Howard, who is known for her high fashion couture gowns. I love love love Gabriella's. I'd choose them every time.

by a wide range of top designers and allow you to walk around and choose what you want to try on. However, Derek, the amazing consultant I worked with, actually found my dress for me! They never rushed me to make a decision and once I did they were so easy to work with. Alterations went very smoothly and I also got my veil and jewelry at the salon. They are also in an awesome location in SoHo which makes pre or post-dress fitting lunch and drinks super fun!

through the selection process. My fittings were a little more difficult - they ordered the dress far larger than I wanted (I brought it up at the time but they said it was easier to work with bigger) and it had to be taken in significantly after my first fitting. However, they took it in too much and it had to be let out again. I was arguing with them that I had trouble breathing in the tightened dress until they relented and let it out a little a week before my wedding. While it was down to the wire and nerve-wracking, the dress fit perfectly for the day and everyone at the wedding thought I'd ordered it custom. Happy ending but lots of heartache along the way.

d no clue what I was looking for so Erin gave me an education about wedding dresses and helped me discover my style in an intimate and laid back environment. No one was pushing a sale or encouraging me to be a particular type of bride..I could be myself!! If you are looking for a positive experience and just an overall fun time, go see Erin!!!

ve time to have fixed and just had to live with. They also ordered my dress in a much larger size than needed, which turned out to be based on incorrect measurements, and resulted in my alterations being more expensive.

nd coming here and asking for Stacey. She was a total pro.

ons! The salon is warm and intimate and there is a carefully curated selection of designer dresses that manage to be stylish, classic and unique all at once. My consultant Carleen understood exactly what type of dress I was looking for and helped me find my dream gown by an Israeli designer (Flora) that I had never heard of! I tried on a total of 5 dresses and ended up with the very first one that we picked out. I was incredibly lucky that there was a Flora trunk show that weekend - my dress was in the salon for that weekend only and was not available anywhere else in New York! Everything in the salon is beautiful - I also purchased a custom made Sara Gabriel veil and Jenny Packham jeweled headpiece that were the perfect finishing touches to my wedding day look. My seamstress Susan was excellent with the alterations and I totally trusted her judgment. The entire experience was amazing and personalized, definitely the most fun part of the wedding planning! I highly recommend this salon!!

ction of unique gowns - Dresses represent your wedding, mood, and who is the designer - Nice staff - Dresses start at 3k - $750 max alteration Negatives - Quite expensive alteration for a simply bustle. Depending upon what you need I would recommend getting alterations elsewhere if you need a hem and simple bustle.

tings and had a wonderful experience with them.

this bridal salon, everything they have is beautiful and when you come in here they treat you like you're the only client they have. I also cannot say enough about their seamstress Susan and their entire alterations department. My dress was mostly illusion lace and was very delicate and difficult to alter but Susan and her team did it with true expertise and it was perfect! I do think it's important to know before going in that Gabriella's carries high end designers and dresses start at $3,500-4,000 here. I didn't realize that before I went in, happened to find my dream dress and ended up spending far more than I budgeted for the dress. In the end it didn't matter because it was exactly what I wanted and was perfect, but it is good to set expectations before you go!

that she was also respectful of my price point. Can't recommend them enough!

is intimate and comfortable. Unlike other salons, Gabriella’s does the fittings in house with their trusty, amazing seamstress. I’m so happy I went to Gabriella New York Bridal Salon.

ttings through the salon. Natalie was my stylist and she was so sweet! I would recommend Gabriella to any New York brides.

d to say. She also was able to find me a tailor closer to where I live so I didn't have to travel multiple times for fittings. I would definitely recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for great service and an awesome selection!

elpful. They let me stay around 2 hours trying on all different types of dresses to get an idea of what kind of silhouette I liked. Finally, I tried on a Kelly Faetanini dress that I fell in love with. I knew right away that it was my dress, but wanted to make sure there was nothing else out there first. I visited Kleinfeld's and had a HORRIBLE experience and then another small bridal salon in Tribeca. I could not find anything as beautiful as the gown I had found at Gabriella Bridal, so I booked my appointment to return with my mother and some of my bridesmaids. I bought the dress that day during the Kelly Faetanini trunk show and even got to meet the designer! She was so sweet and offered to send me a fashion sketch of the dress I purchased. That was a real highlight of buying my dress. Who gets to experience that!? I couldn't recommend this salon highly enough!

ss at Gabriella (which was exactly the dress that I had in mind), I am thankful that I had the alterations done with the designer (Anna Maier) instead of through Gabriella as it was cheaper and a much more individualized process. The level of service Gabriella provides is not at the same level as you would expect with the cost of these dresses.

ariety of designers that cater to brides who aren't necessarily looking for a ball gown and want something a little unique. Velma helped me and she couldn't have been sweeter. Kiki the lady who did my alterations was wonderful as well. All in all it was a great experience! I went to 4 different salons in NYC ranging from Klienfeld's to Stone Fox Bride and Gabriella was the best of them all. Of course the dresses in the showroom are a little beat up but don't worry... with Kiki's help your dress will be perfection!!

ter made it too difficult), all of the people I spoke to were very helpful - they called a local shop in Philly that also carried dresses by my designer and found me a great tailor on that shop's advice. If you're looking for dresses by designers like Reem Acra and Jenny Packham and prefer the intimate, personal environment you get from a small store (rather than, ahem, a place that's now famous from television), this is a great shop!

word to the wise, if you need a zipper in your dress, make SURE that they put in a "YKK 5 coil" zipper as opposed to the standard zipper that breaks the moment you try to zip or unzip it. This zipper costs $4 and is available from Sil in NYC. For a dress that costs easily 1,000x that, you would think a solid "Broadway" caliber zipper would be standard, but it is not. This was the zipper that La Duca shoes advised when I asked them what actors and dancers on broadway use 8 shows a week. I also bought my wedding shoes at La Duca. BEST decision I ever made. :)

ent, and I think four of them could have been "The One". So many gorgeous options. I was looking for an art-deco inspired dress, and while that is not the only style this salon carries, it certainly features in abundance. The experience while trying on dresses is great. The salon is by appointment only, so you don't get the experience of tons of brides tearing through the racks and waiting for an available dressing room. The space is very calm with lots of natural light. I had the alterations done at the salon by Kiki, and my dress fit me PERFECTLY after the three fittings. My dress had a lot of sequins, and even though the shoulders were taken in (my dress had flutter sleeves), you could not notice the alteration. My dress was so stunning that I felt like royalty when wearing it. Thank you, Gabriella! Note that WeddingChannel.com has an outdated address. The shop has moved to Wooster Street in SoHo.

one of many girls who come through. I felt special! The only issue that I have is that they weren't always clear in communicating logistics. The price I was quoted for my alterations when I bought the dress was not the same as the amount I was asked to pay when I went in for my second fitting (and no one told me to bring money or a check to pay so I was there without a method of payment!) Luckily I had saved the itemized note from the saleswoman to prove that my alterations were a lesser fee. That price was honored and no one gave me any trouble, but I know this same thing happened to a friend of mine who also bought her dress here. Other than this slight disorganization, they were great. and i LOVE KIKI, the seamstress that I was assigned. She made my dress absolutely PERFECT and she is just the sweetest and most responsive woman. She's incredibly talented and made the dress become the dress of my dreams!

ting and lowered their price to match the outside vendor. My only reason for giving a 4 and not a 5 was that I had a few issues with the tailor that they use- my dress was taken in far too much, and it took an extra 2 visits to have it let out again so it fit appropriately.

is a small store) but mostly middle to high end designers/prices. Gabriella actually helped me personally pick out a dress which was pretty cool! I showed her a picture and told her the style of wedding I was having and she did a perfect job picking out a few dresses. I liked them all but fell in love with one of them, the one I ended up getting married in. They were professional from the contract to the fittings to the delivery. Everything was really easy with Gabriella. I even ordered my hair clips and clutch from them. Very cute store with nice sales people. I would recommend Gabriella!

I am curvy yes, but I wear a dress size 10, and to be told when I walked in that I will have a very hard time finding something there (very snidely), I knew it wasnt starting off well. I was also scoffed at for my group. Mind you I had one more person than I originally told them but it was still only 4 ppl, and they were so incensed that they actually made my sister sit on the floor rather than try to find her a chair. Next they gave me a form to fill out which requested credit card information up front. When I asked about it, they said to fill it out, but they would only charge it if I bought a dress. It just seemed very weird and presumptious. The sales girl that had been helping me thus far brought in 2 dresses for me to try, and rather than help me into the dress, she just unzipped it, and held it out between two fingers like it was paining her to be in the dressing room with me. She didn't even clip it to my bra to show how it would look in the bust if it actually fit. DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME THERE! I was so insulted and never felt so fat as I did at this salon.

went well. They also helped with my veil which I was very happy with in the end.

d bought it somewhere else.

as, and the good thing about Gabriella is that what they have is very unique and exclusive to their salon. I do like that they treat you one on one while you are there and are very nice. I can't say that I had the best of service out of all the salons I had been to but it is definitely one of the best. The girl that helped us was helpful but after trying on several dresses she stopped paying much attention and began to do other things. It made us feel like she didn't think we were going to buy anything and so we didn't deserve top notch service. I was a bit disappointed, especially for how expensive all of their gowns were. Once I decided to purchase it, however, her attitude became top notch. I understand why she would be this way, but it did make me feel undervalued. Either way, my dress arrived with no problem and on time. Calls were answered with the best service by the owner. She seems great. The gown was very high quality, of course. I can't say that I will rave about this place to my friends, but I won't not recommend it because my experience was just fine. I wish I could have had the time of my life there since I did spend most of my budget there.

hat they were personally and genuinely concerned in making me beautiful for my special day. Thank you, Leah and Gabriella New York Bridal Salon!

tores in NYC and this one can run with the best of them.

a headpiece. Anyways, when I got there someone opened the door so I went to their 2nd fl suite. As I was browsing I couldn't get anyone to help me. Later after asking about 3 people and giving me that snooty looks they informed me that I needed an appointment. "Ummm do you have an appointment? (with whinny voice) If you don't you'll have to make an appointment!" Seriously, I saw 5 other people chatting around doing nothing and they are telling me that none of them can help me out? Finally, after convincing them all I wanted was a headpiece and specific one that I saw on their display case they finally agreed to see me. And I waited for over 30 min. Finally when I was ready to pay, the attendant told me I had to order it like months before hand and I couldn't purchase their display sample. WHAT???? Then after a "talk with the manager" they agreed to sell me the sample. I just couldn't believe how much of my time they wasted just to tell me they can't and then they can. By the way the headpiece I wanted was over $250! And the manager of the place tried to charge me extra $50 on top of that for them for "rush delivery" to replace the one that I wanted to buy. Then as I was about to walk away they "waived" the "rush delivery" fee... I wanted one so bad and wanted to purchase even the sample one but I was so turned off by their snooty attitude that I no longer wanted it. The next day I went all the way to NJ and bought something at Jenny Yoo Atelier. They were more accommodating... and they had many selection of headpieces for sale. I mean what's the point of having a flagship store if you have only ONE inventory and that's not even for sale? And trying to charge your customer who traveled all the way to their flagship to purchase it for "rush delivery"? Honestly, I met Vera Wang in person at her salon by chance. She was super friendly and nice. If a super star like Vera Wang is willing to talk to nobody and try to be helpful then why are people at Gabriella NY so snooty and try to over charge for something so ridiculous?

d a fabulous, hands-on owner, I would skip the rest of the Manhattan bridal stores and just go to Gabriella's.

h every dress fitting a different style and personality. When I went to other salons, I felt like I was trying on the same type of dresses and styles over and over again. The dresses at Gabriellas were different then anything I saw and each was better then the one I tried on before. You will have a tough choice on your hands, but trust me, your perfect dress is there.....and then you get to play with all the fun accessories!! The staff is so friendly, the salon is beautiful, the selection is the best and town and Gabriella will take care of you throughout the entire experience.
