I especially appreciated the patience, experience, and advice that they offered. Not to mention the beautiful store! It is recently renovated and elevates the experience. I was even able to do a video chat with my sister/MOH who lives in Florida on a TV! It really helped her to feel a part of the process.

Mary, Clare, Jen and the entire Gamberdella team is absolutely amazing and accommodating! In April of 2019, my daughter found her dream dress at a salon in Denver, where she was living at the time. However, she soon thereafter moved back to the...
east coast. Gamberdella carried dresses by the designer but not the exact dress my daughter wanted. Mary Gamberdella had a sample of the dress shipped to her salon from the designer in NYC. We wound up ordering that dress from Gamberdella in May of 2019. My daughter’s first fitting was in February, 2020 for her June, 2020 wedding. Then Covid hit. Her wedding was then postponed 2 more times until she finally got married in May, 2021. Gamberdella kept her dress in safe keeping for over 1 year until my daughter could safely return for fittings. My daughter had several fittings and because she lives in Boston, she often needed fittings that were outside of Gamberdellas normal business hours. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Mary and her team! We have found a new set of friends! Thank you, thank you to Mary and her team for such a professional, positive and fun experience! Gamberdella played a huge part in making my daughter’s wedding soo magical and beautiful!

I honestly didn’t have the best experience here. I went to try on wedding dresses- my 3rd shop I’d been to. I told them what I liked, and told them my budget. I felt that since my budget wasn’t too big, I felt a shift change in the attitude($17...
00 was our budget). They didn’t have dresses I or my mom + friends could pick from to try. They picked some out for me but none really wow’d me. I felt the staff wasn’t very interested in me or my wedding and didn’t make it seem personal or inviting. They didn’t really ask too many questions about me. They just handed me dresses to put on and didn’t seem enthusiastic at all. Felt very business like, rushed and not special. I was out within 30 minutes.

tart with this salon. I was “greeted” if you could call it that, by the store owner. She asked me what I wanted, in a gruff tone. I told her I had an appointment. After finding my name, she argued with me about my wedding date. She had October, I told her three times it was November. Her final response: “whatever”. She then pushed me into a fitting room and told me to put on a robe. Before trying to get to know me, ask what I like, etc. I brushed it off and put on the robe. Only the robe didn’t close all of the way. I told her the robe didn’t feet (already feeling like crap about myself at this point) and she says “what do you mean?” Thank you lady. I feel so beautiful. She then came in and yanked a dress over me. I hated the dress. Everything about it. Since when are we not allowed to see a dress before we try it on? Since when can I Not even know your name before you see me naked? My bestfriend walked in at this point (she was down the road getting pizza... we had skipped lunch to come to this appointment but the pregnant one needed to eat!) my bestie was not greeted. When she asked for me a lady told her she didn’t know what she was talking about. She found us, saw the look on my face and immediately told everyone that we were done here. The high school girl that was working with us tried to be apologetic and accommodating, but the damage had been done. This was, by far, the worst experience of my wedding planning so far. K & B Bridals is down the road. They treated me like a queen. Recommend them a million times over.

This is a difficult review to write. While this is the only bridal salon that brought in/offered to bring in my dream dress (that I did end up purchasing) that was one the only positives about my experience. My mom, aunts, and cousins had also ...
gotten their dresses from here which is why I wanted to also. When it came to the initial consultation, it did not feel like the girl helping really understood what I wanted and because all the dresses they have are behind closed doors its even more difficult to show ideas unless you have pictures on your phone/printed out. Even after purchasing my dress the communication was not great. I emailed and left messages about getting a size change which I never got responses to, but thank god they did change without telling me they did because I was measured incorrectly and it would have been a size too large. It also fell on the bride to call to find out when/if their dress was in instead of being called. Having ordered it in July and hearing nothing until I had to call in April was highly nerve wracking. All of the alternations went smoothly, but I was lucky because it really only needed to be hemmed. One of my biggest complaint was having to stand at a locked door for up to 5 minutes for some of my appointments because no one sits at the front even when they have booked appointments and I am not sure if their doorbell actually works.

Although my wedding is in Georgia and my bridesmaids are all over the place so they were planning to purchase online, she still took time to work with me.

To top it off, she offered to help me out with my alterations even though they typically only do dresses purchased in their store. Mary went above and beyond and I definitely recommend others to check this place out :)

I gave her a few options to work with as far as what I liked but after we discovered they didn't really have one of the looks I was looking for...she kept bringing in dress after dress that was the complete opposite of what I told her. In fact I described a dress I specifically didn't like an she brought in 3 of them! I mostly helped myself in and out the dresses. It wasn't enjoyable at all. I really wished my consultant listened to me more or at least pretended like she enjoyed her job.

I recently had an appointment at Gamberdella's to look at wedding gowns. I made the appointment well in advance (2+ months) for 3pm on a Saturday, our last stop in a day of shopping. We arrived on time for the appointment and were not greeted (...
I was with a party of 5). After 5 minutes of us standing there awkwardly, someone came over and looked at us (implied greeting, I suppose). 10 minutes later, the owner (presumably) let us know they were running late, ("getting close to a closing a sale") and would be with us shortly. They did not invite us to look at gowns or give us anything to do other than sit there. More than an hour later someone brought us back into the room to try on gowns. The shop was officially closed at this point, and the girl helping us (she didn't introduce herself throughout the hour we spent with her, or I would identify her here) did not seem pleased to be working overtime. She hardly said two words to us throughout the hour we were there, did not listen to any feedback from me or my group, and continued to bring out gown after gown with features we had previously said we weren't interested in. Overall, it was an extremely awkward and unpleasant trip, and I would have thought an establishment that is expecting me to shell out $1000+ on a dress would have a higher level of customer service.

Not to mention, she also gave me an idea for bridesmaids dresses that might fit my taste, and sure enough, I went with those and they were perfect too! Everyone else at the shop (the assistants, the seamstress) are always so nice and helpful too. You leave there feeling that they genuinely want you find the perfect dress and to be happy on your wedding day. You never get a feeling that they are just trying to make money off of you. I know where I will be bringing by daughter for wedding dress shopping. THANK YOU GAMBERDELLA'S!!

When I went in to look for my wedding gown the two women who assisted me were very nice. They did listen to what I described, brought out some very lovely dresses, and even offered to contact the designer to see if they could combine 2 dresses...
for me. They stated that they would call me back in a couple of days and let me know what the designer said. That was a month and a half ago. I never heard back from them again. Yes, I could have reached out to them after a week or two but I ended up finding a dress somewhere else when our venue fell through and we had to move up the wedding. I also felt somewhat rushed. After about the 4th dress the one woman kept saying 'oh we won't be able to top that!' and made it seem like it wasn't worth trying anymore dresses even though I wasn't exactly sold on the one that they apparently 'couldn't top.' Finally, I didn't like how they seem to have only one sample size (so if you have any sort of curves, it might not fit) which made it harder for me to imagine what the dress would like on me.

I have never had such a terrible experience. I would choose 0 stars if possible. My fellow bridesmaids and I were fat-shamed, told that they just don't make samples in our sizes (even 14!) when plenty of other salons accommodated us just fine, ...
and treated very dismissively throughout the process. The owner ignored us while we tried the dresses on (no assistance or clips like at other salons). Then the dresses took twice as long as estimated to come in. I get that things happen, but when we called with our concerns they acted like we were major annoyances-- every time we called they would audibly sigh on the phone, like we were burdening them just by inquiring. I have never felt so insulted by a business owner in my life. I am happy to pay a lot of money for a gorgeous dress (and it was beautiful!!), but I expect civil treatment.

xious the entire time (and I am not an anxious person). When I entered, while still standing in my coat, they asked what I wanted. Maybe I shouldn't have started with, "I have a dress to beat." They said 'We'll beat it!" and as I tell them what I was looking for, I felt like they weren't even listening. They ushered me into a room with my mom, sister, and grandmother and told me to put on a (previously used) robe. Then they brought in 5-6 dresses that were NOTHING like what I wanted. They asked me to step into a dress - surrounded by my family, so good thing I'm not shy. It was awful. I said it was a July wedding so I didn't want anything heavy. So they brought me in a bridesmaid dress that came in white and "would be perfect for the beach." The thing is - I'm not getting married on the beach. I'm just getting married in the summer. As they left to find more, I told my family I wanted to leave. I was uncomfortable and annoyed. Luckily, the staff came in to say they didn't have what I was looking for. Truer words were never spoken. I was so surprised by how impersonal the entire experience was. And on top of that, all the dresses looked 10 years old. I would not recommend. at all.

My overall experience was good. It took awhile to get the samples I asked for. The first wedding dress sample I got was wrong which made me worry. The bridesmaids dresses did not come in when they had said but that is probably more the designer...
then the store. One of the girls was rude to me over the phone. But other wise everyone was nice and helpful. My alterations were great as well!

o Gamberdella's Salon. They really worked with me to figure out not only what would make me look beautiful, but help me feel comfortable. They would bring out a couple of dresses and would really take the time to listen to what I liked and what I didn't like about the dress. They would then bring out other dresses that better suited my taste. They also didn't try to sell me the most expensive dress, but rather sold me the dress that made me feel beautiful... And I did feel absolutely beautiful in my dress. I did try other bridal salon's but came back to buy my dress at Gamberdellas. They made me feel completely comfortable and had the best selection of dresses. Their tailoring was amazing as well. The dress fit me perfectly

RUN!! Gamberdella's ruined my wedding dress. I purchased my wedding dress here and they ended up ordering the wrong size. We kept telling the owner and the seamstress that it was too big, however, they kept assuring us that they " dealt with th...
is all the time" and that they would make it fit like a glove. After 10 plus fittings, they made one final alteration the night before my wedding and destroyed my wedding dress. It was so bad that the owner admitted it was not fixable and that I would have to wear a sample gown that they had. I didn't get to wear my own wedding dress on my wedding day and I will never get the opportunity to. They ended up having to clean the sample dress and fit it to me the morning of my wedding. They STILL altered it wrong and I ended up not being able to wear a corset under my dress leaving it gaping in the chest area in my wedding photos. Please don't risk you wedding day here - go somewhere else!

After looking around for what seemed an eternity, I found The One at this bridal salon. The gown was exquisite, the staff was friendly and helpful (the store's reputation of being snobby is wholly unfounded) and the seamstress did an excellent ...
job with the alterations. The only relatively negative point is the cost. I ended up paying close to $1,000 more than the original ticket price for two reasons: 1) I am a size 12 and this is considered to be on the heavy side in the bridal industry and so I had to pay $350 extra in materials (this is what I had dubbed "the fatty surcharge" and is, from what I understood, imposed by the dress maker, not by Gamberdella); and 2) the alterations were costly.

I was told it would take 6-8 months. The dress did not arrive until 2 weeks before my wedding, over 9 months after I ordered it! My sister-in-law ordered her dress from there around the same time and it also came in only 2 weeks before her July wedding. No one at the shop seemed to understand that this might be a little stressful for a bride!!! My mom and I had to call them multiple times before they got back to us with an estimated delivery date. My first fitting took place 10 days before the wedding. Luckily, their seamstress is wonderful, but I still had to have major changes made 4 days before the big day. I loved my dress and it fit perfectly, but worrying about the dress arriving in time is not something a bride should have to have to worry about when she orders her dress over 9 months before the wedding.
