Maiden Voyage Bridal

d may invent some just to visit!

nd have great customer service. We were so pleased and happy to have found Maiden Voyage!! I highly recommend!!

the lady at the front desk ask “Whose turn is it?” Then the lady who helped me didn’t even smile, or ask for my name, she just introduced herself and gave me a clipboard to fill out and walked away. Other places sit with you and talk to you, and they fill out a clipboard while talking with you. She did ask what I was looking for and bring in suggestions, but never really smiled the entire time. I felt like I was being an annoyance even though I was the only person there. The rest of the experience wasn’t too great either. The place is underwhelming, with a small selection of beautiful but expensive dresses. Not much room for bridal parties to sit around, which was fine for me since I came alone but this will be a problem if you have anyone with you. The woman helping me was sort of rough with me when fitting the dresses. When I told her my wedding was in six months and that I knew it was a sort timeline, she spent the rest of the appointment reminding me irritably that “You need to order a dress today” and then another consultant started joining in telling me that too. I felt very pressured by this, and it stressed me out way more than I already was. I had a budget of $2500. I said I wanted a dress with a train, and when I tried on one that didn’t have a train she tried suggesting a veil to me that was cathedral to act as a train. The veil was $1300, which is insane for a veil when other bridal salons offer me ones that are $200 or less. I told them absolutely not because it would’ve put me way over my budget, but she just reminded me again that my wedding is coming up and I need to decide ASAP. Overall, I left this place feeling very stressed and pressured. If you are coming with people, know they won’t have much room to sit, especially if there are other brides there.

ations and be ready for the wedding!

lse in St. Louis, I found that the majority of the dresses and the space were underwhelming. Maiden Voyage only has a small area for your family/friends to view the dresses you're trying on. You have to practically step over other brides in order to get your space in front of the mirror. However, that was the least of my worries while there. When I was meeting with my consultant I expressed to her that I was extremely budget conscious and really wanted to be at or below my budget of $1,500. The consultant consistently brought in dresses for me to try on that were at least twice the price of my budget and that I could in no way afford. Moral of the story is, I tried on three dresses and left.

with many huge mirrors. My consultant, Amy, was so helpful as we chose dresses and made sure my very vocal entourage didn't overshadow me. She knew I had found "the dress" before I did. I am so glad we stopped by Maiden Voyage and would recommend it to any bride hunting for her perfect dress!

d next to multiple brides at the same time, nearly elbow to elbow. Also, don’t expect your bridal party to be able to see your dresses - there’s hardly enough room for the brides! The staff was.... okay. Hit or a miss depending on who you see. They also have very little regard for budget, so they won’t bring you things that are in your budget - mostly will try to upsell. That being said - dresses are beautiful. Oh, one last thing - if you are bringing a grandmother here, there’s a big chance they won’t be able to even get into this building, awful high stairs - very hard for elderly to walk into!

t and did all the little tricks it took for me and my party to envision me as a bride. We also had my grandma with us whom can't do steps very well, and they graciously let us come through the back entrance to accommodate her. I'm so happy that the day I said "Yes to the Dress" was filled with excitement, joy and happy tears! I would 100% recommend Maiden Voyage to any bride-to-be!

t record of my calls, which I did call often near the end of receiving my dress. They were so patient with me in picking out my dress and were so friendly, like family. I learned so much about my dress when I went in for the final fitting before picking it up but my dress was the last of it's kind since the manufacturer was discontinuing the dress - amazing! And the owner at this shop makes sure to go and pick out special dresses that stand out among all others. The work that goes into running such a business I had never even dreamed! I will highly highly recommend Maiden Voyage Bridal to any friends and family! I love them so much!

d that is somewhat normal. They were off about three weeks however on their estimate of time for that which was a bit nerve wracking. When I called a month before the wedding they told me they didn't know if they had the dress or not but they had a lot of unopened boxes they had gotten in. They informed me they were unable to open said boxes until the owners came in from out of town which was going to be in a week or a little over a week. I knew I needed to get my dress altered and this seemed absolutely ridiculous. I got my dress about week later. I don't know if it was in those boxes or not; no one was able to tell me. Maiden voyage does not do alterations. However, they have a list of people they trust. I went to one, Expert Alteration and Tuxedo. DO NOT GO THERE!!!!!! HE DESTROYED MY DRESS!!!!! and he did this all the weekend before the wedding!!!! Awful does not begin to describe him. I called Maiden Voyage to tell them, they said they never got a review on him?!?!?!?! Why would they then send me there?!?!?! The bridesmaid dresses are a different story. I ordered them all from one designer but the designer label numbers do not match the numbers maiden voyage has which was kind of a pain to make sure we all had the right dresses. I understand and respect their policy that the bridesmaids can't order a dress that the bride didn't approve. I didn't care which one they ordered, but I had to tell Maiden Voyage before they could order it. No biggie and understandable. However, three of the bridesmaids lived out of town. One of the bridesmaids calls me a little over a week before the wedding to tell me she never received her dress after paying for them to ship it. Turns out Maiden Voyage won't ship the dresses until they confirm your shipping address over the phone after Maiden Voyage receives the dress (dresses are not directly sent to buyers). According to Maiden Voyage they tried to contact her, according to the bridesmaid no one called. Either way NO ONE CALLED ME! Maiden Voyage, knowing the date of the wedding and knowing that all the other dresses had been picked up and sent, should have called me to say hey this bridesmaid hasn't answered, or can you confirm her address. Nothing though was done. That was quite disappointing. Their dresses are beautiful. But just a heads up to any bride out there. Helen's Bridal and Alterations did my alterations and saved the day as best she could after it got destroyed by the alteration person Maiden Voyage suggested. I cannot recommend Helen's Bridal and Alteration strongly enough!

” aka strip of sequence that covered a seam, came with my dress. When my dress finally came in I noticed it was beltless, I told the owner and I was told they’d get it ordered. I got the call when it came it and was handled a flimsy piece of string with sequin that was about to fall apart. I walked back in to talk to the owner about it and was told that was the exact “belt” that I initially tried on. I wish I could’ve seen my face, I was a deer in headlights. What I was given was some dollar general quality and I was shock when the owner basically called me crazy for thinking I tried on anything else. I asked to see the sample dress again and then I was told they didn’t have the belt with it anymore. What a coincidence. HA! I walked out livid, I dropped 4K in a dress shop and was basically denied any help, not even a compromise. I then emailed Hayley Paige told them this exact story and I was told that the dress didnt even come with the belt! I showed them a picture of what I was given from maiden voyage and they said that it did not come from HP. Sketch sketch sketch Basically HP sent a strip of extra sequence with the sample dress they had in the store but the shop thought it was a seam coverup for my dress. When I didn’t get one with my dress they tried covering their butts and I guess tried making one... Either way, I spent way too much money to be treated the way I was treated from the owner of this shop. Go spend your money elsewhere! I will never recommend this place to anyone.

to a lady they recommended to me since they don't do fittings in the store, and she had to cut off 6 inches at the bottom (9 layers of dress at $25 per layer), take the dress in 4 inches at the waist and the shoulder straps had to be tightened because they were too loose. Also, every single one of my bridesmaids spent almost $100 in alterations for their dresses because they didn't fit right either (too long and/or too big). One of the girls' dresses even came back with what looked like grease stains on it. While I thank Maiden Voyage for my beautiful dress, it was a major frustration of all the money that was spent on the alterations simply because measurements weren't taken correctly.

resses. My dress had several different colors in it, so we were having a hard time finding the right bridesmaids dresses to compliment it. I asked for them to pull out my dress to compare to the bridesmaids and they were not thrilled to help out. After all was said and done I spent just under 5000 on my dress, bridemaids, and accessories. I would have appreciated them to at least pretend that they were not annoyed with me. Also, they ordered me a size 22 dress. I normally wear a 14-16 in normal dresses but they told me it was correct. I ended up spending hundreds of dollars on alterations because it was so ridiculously large they had to make an incredible amount of alterations.

o order in a sample for me for a small fee. The fee ended up going towards any dress I purchased through them so I didn’t mind. They have a large selection of multiple styles and budgets. They were also very prompt with phone calls and appointments. Jennifer was amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. She was so patient, kind and made me feel completely comfortable every time I came in.

were there. Each time I was there with my bridesmaids the consultants were rude and uninterested in helping us. They were clearly more concerned about helping the girls purchasing prom dresses. Another visit, they were extremely insensitive to my bridesmaid that was having trouble fitting into the sample sizes, mind you she is size 16-18. After receiving my dress, my bridesmaids and I decided to get their dresses from another bridal shop because we were tired of being treated poorly. Even after speaking with the owner about my experiences she apologized but wasn’t sincere and quite frankly was rude. I will never recommend this place to anyone. The same dresses are at other salons in the area and they will treat you with more respect.

rfect dress, which was a brand new design and was able to buy it off the rack for a great price! They also recommended places to go for alterations who did a fantastic job. They were really easy to work with and the shop is charming.

due to weights and comfort and they were accommodating. I went to other places and they made me feel like I needed to change my decision because the dress I was looking for didn't exist. Maiden voyage was determined to help me find the perfect dress and they succeeded. Their setup is in a old house so it is very comfortable and a fun environment. And, I have a large family so I needed to bring over 20 people with me and Maiden Voyage didn't hesitate to make that work. Most places limit the amount of people you can bring with you. I love everyone who works there and I would recommend anyone to go there, I promise you that you will not be let down.

ensive than other options I had looked at.

ly salon in the area to carry that designer. I was confused when I tried on that dress and I surprisingly did not like it more than a dress I had previously tried on at another salon, which is confusing when this happens to any bride. My consultant encouraged me to try to get a walk-in appointment at the other salon so I could have peace of mind and make my decision about the dress. I really appreciated that advice because she was not pressuring me into getting my dress from their salon that day, she just wanted me to be happy in whatever dress I chose. My only complaint is that I felt there were not very many dresses to choose from; the dresses on the floor were very limited, which surprised me for such a large shop. I'm not sure if there were more options elsewhere in the salon or what, but I wasn't completely satisfied with what I had to browse compared to other stores. Another woman also helped with my appointment (did not catch her name), but while I appreciated her adding extra clips so the dress I was trying on fit better and giving me tons of compliments, it felt a bit like she was pressuring me into the dress that I really wasn't completely sold on at that point. Overall, I would recommend giving them a chance because I had a good experience and several of my friends have had good experiences here too!

re. I had looked at 2 other salons and was much happier with the price and quality they offered here.

able deposit. Poor business practices, no disclosures given over the phone. If you are going to take people’s money and have a non refundable policy you need a signed contract by the person paying you.

sample down to compare. Definitely not the same, but they kept insisting it was. They refused to give us our money back. Now, I definitely wouldn't trust them with my wedding dress.

ugh they were sitting at the counter. When I picked up my bridesmaid dress it seemed like I was an Inconvenience to them. After all that, i gave them another chance! I bought my dress from here on a random day during the week during the middle of the day. They gave me so much attention, every consultant was in my room to see the dress I picked. They even threw in my wedding day necklace and bracelet. The place was awesome. My consultant was Nikki, she was amazing. Helped me figure out what I liked and what i didn’t like. She stayed within my price range. They promised me they would do the alterations and take good care of me. When I called to make my Alterations appointment, they said their department had closed down. I started to freak out. One of the main reasons why I bought my dress here was bc they were doing the Alterations. After buying my dress from them, it didn’t seem like I was as important anymore. But I quickly got over it. My dress was absolutely stunning and wouldn’t haven’t found it anywhere else!! I had Nikki again when I looking for my bridesmaid dresses, again their dresses were awesome! When I brought all my girls to get measured we worked won a different consultant that wasn’t the nicest and some of my bridesmaids found her rude. All in all, I’m really glad I bought my dress from here. I feel in love with it and would buy that dress every time!

amazing at deciphering what I was saying I did and did not like about each dress, because sometimes you just can't really explain what you like or do not like about a dress. More importantly she was patient with us, getting dressy and girly really is not my thing and making decisions (especially about spending a lot of money) takes me time to digest. I wanted to make sure everything will be and look perfect. So it took me about 8 months of searching the internet after knowing what looked good on me to decide on a dress. The shop is very nicely set up, and the private room that I was in was awesome. They also have a giant room in the back if you bring the bridesmaids. More importantly, they have AWESOME assortment of designers and then the numerous collections from those designers. I was able to purchase a skirt from one designer and a top from another with no problems. I cannot wait to see the look on my Fiance's face. Thank you Maiden Voyage!

at I liked. She pulled dresses she liked and that were out of my price range. She overwhelmed me with pressuring me to buy a dress and did not take into consideration the way I was feeling. They were more interested in making the sale instead of making sure I was in love with my dress. In the end, I did purchase my dress here only because of Ann. She came and helped and turned the appointment around. If it wasn't for her, we were about to walk out empty handed. If I had to do it all over again, I would go somewhere else.

n't important while trying on dresses. There were other brides who were clearly given more attention. The stylists pulled dresses that THEY liked, not styles that I said I wanted. I felt like they just wanted the purchase. At one point they pulled a dress that they called "the budget buster".. why even bring that out? But nevertheless, I found the dress I loved and bought it. The alterations were a disappointment. The bust was done very sloppy and I even pulled out a pin where the alteration was missed while getting into my dress on my wedding day. I would say the most frustrating experience was with my veil. My mom picked up my veil for me when it was ready (which was weeks late). When I got home, I discovered it wasn't the veil I ordered. The ladies didn't believe me. I had to email pictures from when I tried it on to prove that I was correct. They couldn't get the right one in quick enough (because it was already weeks late). They said they would have somebody take off the part of the veil that was incorrect, and when my mom said she was worried it wouldn't come out well, they were rude to her. In their defense, they got it fixed in time and it looked fine. Overall, I was very unimpressed with my entire experience.

to trying on anything to get a feel for styles, but rather than being given a dressing room upstairs with the other brides, we were taken downstairs to sift through the bridesmaid dresses and put in a dressing room for bridesmaids. She found a few dresses above our price range but didn't show them to us, let alone give me the opportunity to try them on. Our consultant seemed annoyed with us and made us feel that due to our limited budget we were unimportant clients, not worth her time, energy, or attention. We left feeling like our budget wouldn't afford us any real wedding dress.

the store was also amazing, she came in and helped piece together a completely custom dress and even made sure it was in my price range. It was an absolute dream come true!

good on me. She told me she didn't want to carry dresses out if I wasn't going to like them. After trying on a few dresses, I started to become more

er of the shop. After spending in total a significant amount on my bridal gown, alterations, accessories and all bridesmaids gowns, my mother was basically told that we didn't spend enough money there to receive a "complimentary" steam of my dress, a value of $100. If we had spent $500 in alterations, not the $475 that we did (and of course the thousands of dollars on top of that for the gowns and accessories), THEN we would be graced with that free service. To be a small business owner and show such disdain towards your customers, customers, I might add, that spread the word and provide recommendations that most small businesses thrive off of for business, is extremely appalling. Instead of us having such fond memories of finding my dress and altering it to be the perfect gown for my perfect day, the owner instead stained it so that all we can remember is how rude we were treated after giving you our business. If only we had spent $25 more, then maybe you would have been nicer.

pt my mom specifically asked if they had gowns within our budget and they had enthusiastically said yes). She also brought me styles that I specifically said I did not want. She also made some comments about my budget/ styles I liked that really made me lose any excitement about dress shopping. We were not there very long, and I would not recommend to anybody.

o the both of them. When I showed up I quickly realized my budget was not what they typically sell. I had a budget of $1500. The person I was trying on dresses next to flew in from New Jersey and was trying on $20,000+ dresses. They were having their trunk show so I was in luck and found a dress original price $1500 for $350. I set my alterations appointment up originally with them because I had heard horror stories of alterations gone wrong when you do not. When I got to my appointment they quoted me at $450!!! More than what I even spent on the dress! My dress was satin. NO lace NO bling. JUST satin. I decided to take it home and think about it. I spoke to a friend who told me to call the person she used. She quoted me $200. I ended up getting MORE done and still only spent $250. I know they are in West County but their alteration prices are CRAZY and NO ONE should pay that much!!

ge!

might be someone who just didn't have that "moment" when finding her dress....and then we went to Maiden Voyage. Our consultant was Jenny and we liked her immediately. She was so positive and so attentive. She really listened to what my daughter was looking for. The selection of dresses was by far the best we had seen. We loved the first three dresses she brought in!! After a couple more dresses, Jenny had just one more she wanted to try. The minute I saw my daughter in it I knew it was "the one" and so did my daughter!! She finally had her moment! We returned to find a veil and for two fittings. Each time the salon was helpful, friendly and courteous. Jenny was also there each time to greet us and make sure everything went smoothly. We cannot recommend this bridal salon highly enough. It should be every bride's first stop when shopping for a dress.

ad an idea of what designer and dress type that I wanted and they guided me to find the perfect dress! I left to think about it and came back the very same day to buy it! I was antsy about when I would receive the dress for my first fitting since my travel plans depended on it. I'm sure I pestered them quite a lot calling frequently to find out when exactly the dress would arrive. They treated me very kindly and provided excellent service each time that I called. They scheduled my subsequent fittings very close together and right before the wedding to accommodate my tight schedule. Every person that assisted me was very kind and made the whole experience very fun. The seamstress was very knowledgeable and skilled and made my dress fit me perfectly! Thank you, Maiden Voyage!

tried on as I already knew it was the one, but Nikki and other staff pulled other dresses that I wanted to see just so I could be sure. They let me have plenty of time to check out the dress and snap some pics! I felt comfortable with the measuring process and the general run down of how alterations will go. I highly recommend Maiden Voyage and ask for Nikki!!

made the experience EXACTLY what I imagined. I didn't want to make a decision too fast so they told me to go to the rest of my appointments but that they knew they'd see me back (because of my reaction to the dress as well as my support system's reaction). The ladies at Maiden Voyage had my best interest in mind and did not make me feel pressured into buying the dress. So, I shopped the rest of the day to solidify my feelings. I went back without an appointment, put the dress back on, and knew I had to have it. They were absolutely AMAZING. Highly recommended!

. When I told them I had an appointment, they threw some paperwork my way and left me to wait awkwardly in a corner. But then Rachel came and saved the day. She took me upstairs (there's an upstairs! So don't panic when you walk in and don't see any wedding dresses), chatted with me for a bit about my wedding and what I wanted, then brought back a wonderful assortment of dresses. She really helped me picture the day and what I wanted from a dress. She put up with my awkward jokes and complete ignorance to current fashion trends. She had great ideas that I would have never thought of. I didn't deal with any other consultants, but they all seemed just as nice and knowledgeable. I can't speak to their purchasing process or alterations department, but their sales consultants are awesome!

y style and what I kept asking for. Dress shopping was this daunting and looming task. When I had my appointment at Maiden Voyage, the entire experience changed. Dress shopping was actually FUN! My consultant, Nikki, was EXCEPTIONAL. I can't say enough great things about her. She understood my style and body type, and pulled dresses that were perfect for me. I tried on 5 or 6 dresses before I found the one (I had tried on over 30 before this appointment at other places). My perfect dress was not only absolutely stunning, but also very well priced! Only $1300! I walked into this appointment with a budget of $3000. I would recommend this place to ANYONE. We drove all the way from Southern IL and it was well worth the trip! Thank you Maiden Voyage for EVERYTHING.

bout my dress. It was great not to have any sales pressure put on me so I could enjoy the process of trying wedding dresses on. Before I came in I researched the prices and found their price right in line with other stores (had to call Chicago and Kansas City since they were the only store in St. Louis that carried some of the dresses). I also felt like I got both great quality and excellent value from the alterations department. The bustle was beautiful and the seamstress took her time explaining how to bustle the dress to my bridesmaid so she felt confident on the wedding day. Great shop, highly recommend!

t really accomidating for appointment times and fittings. In the end, she did "make everything right," but not without a lot of hassle and a little heated conversation. On the plus side, the alterations department is AWESOME and the reason we went to Maiden Voyage in the first place. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gotten the bridesmaid dresses somewhere else, especially since I had two that were out of town.

o helped some of my bridesmaids was a little less than great. She asked them to strip in front of her and when they were nervous about it she said "that's ok, I see this all the time" and then proceeded to tell them how she worked with Lauren Cosgrove (TJ Oshie's wife) and that Lauren was just so skinny even after having the baby which my bridesmaids felt very uncomfortable with. I can't remember the name of this particular sales person but the rest of the staff there is amazing. Their seamstress is quick and does a great job. I needed my dress taken in and shorted while my bridesmaids needed all sorts of alterations (adding cups, taking the dress out, shortening, taking the dress in) and they all had great results. I'd recommend them just be weary and voice your opinion if you don't want to strip down in front of a stranger!

tain it could have been easy to be pushed into something I didn’t want. Overall my experience was a good one and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a unique dress! The free alterations promotion for dresses over a certain limit was an excellent deal. The alterations went well and the staff was always friendly.

ut Amy's pick was perfect. I was so thrilled with the final result, even my fittings were a blast. There are wonderful people at this store, and I'm glad I never went to a different one.

nk with my heart and just buy it. She wouldn't let up!! Also, when I checked in.. they asked me what time my apt was. I told them. Then they looked at their book and just walked away and left me sitting for awhile... no "we're finishing up with someone else" or anything.

y before the wedding we went to pick up the dress and it was full of wrinkle and not ready to go. We had to wait an hour for them to press it.

nt with the first salon). I had that experience when everyone I brought loved my dress!!! It made me forget the other dress and everyone in the shop came up to tell me how wonderful it looked! Then my regret set in...I was terrified I made the wrong decision. I called to see if there was any way I could come in. They were so understanding. I got in within 10 min of my call, saw my dress and knew I made the right decision. Amy encouraged me to try it on, put on veils and hair accessories again, talked in great lengths about the alterations, and talked with me about my decision to purchase this dress. Amy set my mind at ease even more. The owner, Ann, is always pleasant and accommodating. I went in several times just to see my dress and they were accommodating in fitting me in, never once making me feel rushed. Customer service with this salon is everything a bride should experience, along with a great selection of wedding dresses. The on-site alterations was equally as pleasant. Thank you for your patience, kindness, and overall customer experience!

en I made my appointment I also gave them a list of specific style #s of dresses I knew I absolutely wanted to try. I was assured they carried all the gowns and that they would be pulled and waiting upon my arrival. Let me start from my arrival. I got there and as I was introducing myself for my appointment the consultant told me that I had to leave my bottle of water at the front desk because drinks aren't allowed upstairs. Ok. We got upstairs, NONE of the dresses I requested were pulled, and even worse when I asked the consultant about it she told me that they no longer carried those designers and that most of the dresses had been discontinued because they were so old (Spring and Fall 2014, so she was definitely lying). She then started pulling dresses SHE wanted me to try with no regard for the style I told her I wanted. Furthermore another consultant threw a fit that I had 4 people with me saying that we were "taking up too much space" (there was ONE other bride there, and she also had 4 people with her - btw each of the ladies in that party had a bottle of water upstairs they were sipping from openly). The women who work there have no idea what their job is and are extremely rude. My consultant was huffing and puffing that I was uninterested in the dresses she wanted me to try on, and the ones I pulled she kept pushing to the back. I finally asked to try one my mom had picked out and she made the ugliest face and said "oh this one is on sale" as if that should be a problem, or insinuating I was cheap (my max budget was $3500). I reached my limit while switching out of probably the 9th dress she wanted me to put on when another consultant walked in to the room while I was half naked and started talking smack about the bride she was working with as if I wasn't even there. I literally stood there half naked for 3 minutes while they gossiped. At that point I gave up. I cut my appointment short just to GET OUT OF THERE. She told me that I clearly had no idea what I wanted and that I would be better off coming back another day with less people to influence me. As if my guests were the problem. I ended up finding my one and only dress at Frew's Bridal the following weekend. They were amazing and I had the best experience out of anywhere else I had been ESPECIALLY this horrific place.

I looked through their racks. The owner recommended that I shop around (which I did) & ended up coming back to Maiden Voyage to purchase the first dress I tried on. The entire ordering process went so smoothly, my dress arrived about six months later & they went to work on alterations right away. I had three fittings & with their talent, they created straps with extra lace ordered that turned out so gorgeous. They were always friendly, attentive & encouraging; I could not be any happier. Their attention to detail & outstanding customer service with me would lead me to recommend them to each & every bride-to-be I meet. I've never loved a material thing more than I love my wedding dress, it is exquisite. Thank you, again & again!

/sleeves on my dress and I got exactly what I wanted! They were easy to work with and seemed genuinely excited to be working with me.

bridesmaid dresses from here because they were the most reasonably priced and they turned out beautiful as well! Couldn't be happier!

ofy, which is all that they ended up bringing to me and I kept telling them that's not what I wanted. They were not very friendly and we left feeling very frustrated.

n ages 18 to 24 and most bridal houses only have floor samples designed to be "one size fits all" so it is hard to get an idea of what you are going to look like because they have to clamp the dress to fit your size. What I was looking for was specific gowns from The European Line, Pronovias, Ellis of London, Enzonai,or Justin Alexander. Maiden Voyage is the ONLY place in the St. Louis area that carries these one of a kind dresses!! I wanted a European Collection dress without paying $5,000 Euros. I also did not want to get married in the same dress a million other women would be wearing. Do yourself a favor and go to Maiden Voyage you can get a gorgeous high quality wedding gown for the same price that you are going to pay at the "chain bridal store" The actual price of my dress was only $1,500 but I did add a great accessory belt and a Toni Federici Veil which raised the cost but the alterations and pressing of the gown were included with purchase.

a little uncomfortable when she basically told me that my Toms were not a good bridal shoe and I would walk funny and look awkward. I loved my shoes and so did my family so for her to tell me that I look awkward in my wedding dress during the first fitting made me a little uncomfortable. The other fittings were fine and the dress came out beautiful, the products are great but the service is a little awkward

ted. It was kind of pricey, but all of their gowns include basic alterations (hem, bustle, etc) which can be kind of pricey in itself. So, I got my dress here, and they took care of me! It did take a while to come in, but they all do. The seamstress did an amazing job with alterations, and I couldn't have had a better fit. I didn't spend all night adjusting it either. The sales lady was helpful, but not pushy, and the rest of the staff was wonderful as well.

m to change in and look at each dress. I would highly recommend this shop and Christine. Our seamstress was also great. Minor alterations were included in the cost of the dress. She did a beautiful job.

bridal gown because I had had knee surgery about 9 months prior to my wedding. I wasn't able to walk until 6 months before the wedding. The two shops that I went to first made me feel bad about being so behind and weren't helpful at all. Maiden Voyage put my mind at ease. They understood that I couldn't help my timeline and they were willing to do whatever was necessary to make sure I got my dress on time. They have a great selection and the building is very "homey" feeling. I felt comfortable right from the beginning. They also include alterations in the cost of the dress. This was a huge savings because other shops quoted me at 250$ or above. Maiden Voyage makes you feel like family right from the beginning and didn't hesitate to make my experience fantastic.

which was what i was looking for and ended up getting). The staff here were nice and helpful. I also got my veil here and alterations. They did a good job on the alterations, but make sure you are pretty stern about what you want (i had to keep telling her that i wanted it taken in more, etc.).

best condition. I took it to a different seamstress for alterations and they did wonderful work to make the dress beautiful and my size! Maiden Voyage was bad, they had a nice selection, but if you want a new dress it will be more than what you would pay at a David's Bridal.

Even so, I found the dress of my dreams and it was in my budget. My bridal consultant, Amy, was very very sweet and understanding.

But if you are willing to pay the price for alterations, they have amazing seamstresses and very creative staff.

d or anything. The owner Ann is extremely rude. I have never been treated so poorly in my life. Before you go here please search them under google and look at the other reviews.

I don't want anyone else to fall victim of what they have done to me!
