What started out as an exciting day, quickly came to a halt when I started my bridal consultation.
I had a terrible experience at Henri’s Cloud 9 in Columbus yesterday. My “...bridal consultant’s” name was MacKenzie Martin. She was extremely unprofessional clear from the beginning of the appointment.
First, she did not consult me in private regarding my budget. She continued to downgrade my budget in front of everyone saying I would be very limited in dresses in my price range. However, there were plenty of options I had tried on.
Shopping for a wedding dress should be one of the most exciting things that you do and fun for everyone. However, around half way into the appointment, I was ready to just say forget it and leave because she had me so upset. She did not make myself, bridal party, and mother feel comfortable. I was in tears over how she treated my friends & mother. Anytime, anyone said something she did not agree on, she would immediately have something rude to say & shut them down. Yes I understand appointments are short & you have to hurry to try dresses on.. I’m not unrealistic, however, I also should’ve been able to enjoy the experience without her being rude to everyone included. This is the first time I tried on dresses and after driving 2.5 hours, she definitely ruined my whole experience.
My mother barely said ANYTHING the whole appointment and when she would say something, MacKenzie would quickly have an unprofessional comment to come back with. How is this acceptable?
She clearly should not be in sales at a wedding dress shop with her personality and social demeanor.
I believe I had found the gown for my wedding at Henri’s but was so upset over the experience, I didn’t even want to be there anymore, let alone buy a gown from her.
I have been to the Henri’s in Minerva in the past to buy prom gowns twice and had an amazing experience. I will not be coming to the Columbus location again. I do not recommend the Columbus location based on customer service!
