Here Comes the Bride

I had some trouble finding my wedding dress. I saw it online and could not get it out of my head until I tried it on. I asked several bridal stores about it with little luck. Here Comes the Bride specially ordered a sample gown for me to try on. We ordered the dress through them. Unfortunately, while we were waiting for the dress to come in, they refused service to a lesbian couple and were in the news. I thought that they were extremely helpful to us and courteous but it upsets me that this is only because I am heterosexual.

absolutely wonderful dress shopping experience. great variety. knowledgeable/helpful staff. made the whole experience stress-free and fun

I chose to buy a dress off of the rack that was on discount and 2 years old. It was originally $500+, but I took it that day for $99. Although some of the threads were loose, it really was a steal! The saleswomen was so polite and helped me with each dress. I am so glad I purchased my dress from their shop.

I found a gown that I absolutely loved online from Eden Bridals. I knew this was my dress from the moment I saw it. So I checked the webpages store locator and only found one store in my area that carried Eden. That store was Here Comes the Bride. The shop had tons of bad reviews and a I was very apprehensive. But I was set on having that dress, and no other shop that I called could have it brought in. So I made an appointment at Here Comes the bride and the woman there ( I assume the owner) was very nice to my whole party. She helped me pick out some dresses that were similar to the one I saw, since she didnt have that particular one in the store that day. After deciding I still wanted to see the gown I found online, she agreed to have a sample pulled in for me. She call Eden right then, told me that they had my size in stock and that they would send it over for me to try on. Now, there was a $50 deposit required to have the dress pulled in. That $50 was not returnable, but could be put towards my gown if I purchased one there. If I did not purchase a gown I could use it towards and veil or any other of the accesories. Then a funny thing happened while we were waiting to be checked out. A woman and her daughter had come in to pick up some dresses that had abeen altered. They got into an altercation with the owner and even started yelling at her. The owner seemed very passive aggressive and just kind of let them walk out. I was worried then, but gave her the benefit of the doubt. In a few weeks I recieved a call that the dress was there for me to try on and I made another appointment. I tried it on and loved it, and the same saleswoman reminded me that, "This is only a sample. You cannot buy this dress. We will order one to be made for you." That it exactly what she told me. So I put a deposit down on the dress. I was told I could expect it in about 4 months (February). So about two weeks into February I called the shop wondering why I hadn't heard anything yet. Not alarmed at all....just curious. The same saleswoman that I had been working with seemed totally baffled when I spoke to her on the phone. She said "What do you mean? Your dress is here. It has been here. You had it on." She then proceeded to say, "Your balance is due, but I didn't want to press you for the money." I have no idea what she meant by that because I was told that my balance would be due when my dress came in. According to her we never ordered a dress. I was infuriated and upset. I called my mother crying. I really at this point though this lady was nuts and I was praying that she had my dress. I made an appointment to go in and pick up the dress with my mother and cousin. We basically had to remind the lady who I was. She always seemed so confused. My dress was thankfully in the back of the shop, in a bag, with my name on it. It was the same exact dress I had tried on which turned out not to be a sample dress at all. We inspected it for any errors, payed the balance, and high tailed it out of there. I found a seamstress elsewhere. I was too worried about how unstable and confused this lady was. Bottom line, there are some nice dresses in the shop and this woman is seemingly very nice and friendly. But she's just gonzo. I don't know what is going on upstairs but she is very very confused. It's hard to communicate with her. So I would recommend staying away since buying a wedding gown should be a stress free process.

girls stay away. The owner Donna is so fake. I believe that she orders dresses on the side not from the real companies. My dress came and looked like a disaster. Collors on it were different and didn' t look and didn't fit like it supposed to. When i said that dress doesn' t look right she said that it wasn't looking beautiful on me because i have pimples on my skin and my hair didn' t look good. I was shocked. I had to do the dispute charge because she wouldn't give me the store credit and ordered the same dress from the different salon. The dress was made perfect and looked exectly like at the picture.

...you may want to look elsewhere. [http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20110818_Ronnie_Polaneczky__Store_dresses_down_bride_for_being_a_lesbian.html] Then again, looking at earlier reviews on here indicates that maybe Donna is an equal-opportunity offender. Basically...you can probably do better for service.

I went to several bridal stores after I bought my wedding dress to find the perfect bridesmaid dresses. I was looking for a particular color, but I had no other ideas at to which designer to use. I walked into Here Comes the Bride by myself to see if they had any other designers that I had not seen in the past. As I tried to look at them, the owner came to me and asked me what I was doing since "this is not a research facility." She told me that I have to make an appointment and I told her that I was just looking at all of the stores to see if her brands had my color. When she kept staring at me, I finally said that maybe I should leave and she said "yes you should." I told several of my friends about this and they all said they had similar encounters with her and several had been kicked out of her store as well. I have no idea how they stay in business!!! I think she forgets that this is supposed to be the happiest time in my life and not to yell at me like I was stealing something. I don't wish anyone to lose their job, but I am sad that she is able to run a business like this.

great dresses, very affordable!

My daughter ordered her dress in March. It was suppose to be in by the end of June. There were some problems with shipping and it didn't come in until the end of August. I know that Donna did her best to get it to us, even paid extra to get it here. Everything worked out and my daughter was very happy and the most beautiful bride ever.

Here Comes the Bride has beautiful wedding gowns at affordable prices. Donna is very patient and allows you to try on as many gowns as many times as you want. The shop does not have the most appealing decor, but it is worth checking out because they have so many beautiful gowns to choose from.

I used this vendor for my bridesmaid dresses and suit rentals. The dresses were nice and looked nice. However the owner's measurements were off and ordered a dress that was too small after not listening to the bridesmaid. This problem was fixed by letting the dress out by another seamstress. This also happened for the groom's suit but she took care of this with no problem. Overall we got what we wanted and everyone looked nice, but prepare yourself for the owner who can make rude comments and ALWAYS seems easily distracted and overwhelmed.

This place may have good dresses at good prices but the lady who owns it is certifiably insane. She has no idea how to run a business. She was incredibly rude to me and my mother and harassed me with weird stereotypes. She doesn't have a steady tailor and, as in my case, you may get stuck without a dress fitting/altering. I would hope no one else has to go through the nightmares I did with this store.

The title explains it all. I'm not into bashing personalities so I will just say that every single one of my attendants were offended at one point or another by the owner, as was I. The dress was beautiful, and priced just right, but if I could do it all over again, I'd pay hundreds more for a better service experience.

They have the largest selection in South Jersey. They are great to deal with. They have brides, bridesmaid, mother of the brides, veils, tiaras, shoes, and tux rentals! They also have a seamstress to do any alterations!

Usually friendly

They were very helpful. My bridesmaid lost the top of her dress a week before the wedding & they were able to order & fit a new one for her within days.;The owner who does the actual fitting is not friendly! She's pretty rude. But she got the job done correctly.

They did a great job with my dress, and always called me promptly.;The workers are not friendly. Scheduling an appointment with them is so difficult. They treated me as if they did not need my business. They rushed me out when 'another bride arrived' They got stains on the bridesmaids dresses with their steamer and tried to deny it. We knew it was their machine because everytime they would take one of their dresses to the back to try to fix it, it would come out with more stains in different places. Luckily my dress was ok.

The salesperson, Eve, was excellent. she was so helpful and accommodating.;Some of the other sales people were not very nice.

The individual ladies were very nice and it was close to my mom's house. The dress was ready when they said it would be.;The dress seemed to be a little off in color, they lost one of my bridesmaids shawls and then told her it was her fault, at times the ladies who worked there could be snotty, and the appearance of the building was not particularly nice nor was there a lot of room to move around or have the bridesmaids try dresses on.

The woman by the name of Marilee knows here dresses. She picked a dress for me that I would have never agreed to try on. Once I put it on, I was a princess. She also picked the girls dresses. She really can tell by looking at someone what style of dress they can wear.;The seamstress can be pushy. There are also two oher women that I really did not care for. I was afraid the one was going to rip my dress.

;staf are idiots. thier seamstress wanted to tape my dress instead of fixing it

The staff was nice and very accomodating.;The bridal salon was just so small, they had a great selection of gowns just needed a bigger location.
