I am honored to have collaborated with the exceptionally talented Mark Ingram to create my custom one-of-a-kind dream wedding dress. From the moment I began my wedding dress journey, I knew I wanted a one-of-a-kind gown that would reflect both my personality and the essence of our special day. From the moment I stepped into Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier and met the man himself who radiates the most warm, caring and lovely demeanor, I knew he was the creative genius I had been searching for and the only one who would be able to translate my wedding dress dreams into reality.
The initial consultation with Mark was a revelation. His genuine interest in my unique vision, style, and preferences (which sometimes weren’t always tradition) made me feel like my wedding gown was not just another project but a piece of art he was determined to craft. He listened intently to my ideas, offered insightful suggestions, and sketched designs that truly captured my heart.
Throughout the design process, Mark and his amazing team demonstrated their unwavering dedication to perfection. The attention to detail was astounding, and every fitting session felt like a fun party. He expertly combined luxurious fabrics, intricate lacework, and delicate beadwork to create a masterpiece that was perfectly mine. The result was a dress that not only fit flawlessly but also truly reflected my unique style and wedding vision, and if that wasn’t already enough Mark surprised me with the most beautiful custom mantilla veil as a wedding gift!
The store itself is a true bridal paradise. The boutique exudes an air of sophistication and charm that mirrors the designer's aesthetic. The welcoming ambiance and impeccable décor set the stage for the most delightful and memorable experience.
Debbie and the entire staff share Mark's passion for perfection and client satisfaction. They were not only accommodating but also genuinely excited about my dress journey. Every visit felt like I was visiting friends who were as invested in my happiness as I was!
On my wedding day, as I walked down the aisle in my one of a kind custom Mark Ingram creation, I felt like the most beautiful version of myself. The compliments from family and friends were endless, a true testament to the designer's extraordinary talent.
In conclusion, my experience with Mark and his Atelier was nothing short of enchanting. He not only crafted a dress that exceeded my wildest dreams but also made the entire journey a cherished memory. If you're a bride-to-be in search of a dress that embodies your unique vision and a boutique that treats you like family, I wholeheartedly recommend Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier. They are the dream team you need to make your wedding dress dreams come true. Thank you, Mark and his amazing team for making my wedding day truly unforgettable!!! <3
Part 2: The issue with the reception dress
Just when I believed things couldn't get worse, another debacle unfolded with my reception dress. The fit was disproportionate, and the design diverged from what I had tried on. During the boutique fitting, the sample dress was four sizes larger than my actual size. However, the custom-made dress, tailored to my size, had excessive fabric and differed substantially. The original V-shaped front with a waist cutout was replaced by a design completely covering my waist, and the straps were uncharacteristically wider.
Upon notifying MIA about the ceremony dress issue, I highlighted the reception dress problem, substantiated with photo evidence from the sample fitting and the actual alteration. Initially, they asserted that the dress looked different due to proportional tailoring. When I pinpointed specific disproportions with evidence, they evaded my calls for two days. This was particularly distressing as I had already paid in full, yet the dress remained incorrect. Eventually, they organized a conference involving their sales manager, alteration director, and stylist, acknowledging that the dress was wrongly crafted by the designer. They committed to attempting alterations to meet my expectations. By then, I was drained from the struggle of constant calls and disheartened by the dual errors I had experienced within a week. Frustrated, I requested a refund. Initially met with resistance, they eventually agreed to a refund due to their mistakes.
Part 3: The issue with alteration
Upon the return of my ceremony dress from the designer, I commenced alterations with in-house seamstress Deb. Initially, her attempt to modify the sleeves lacked finesse, resulting in visibly bulky fabric accumulations and an inelegant transition. When I questioned the possibility of making it less conspicuous, she replied that little could be done since the fabric had already been cut. She even proposed cutting further to improve the appearance. I inquired why she hadn't discussed the final result beforehand, to which she claimed that her methods were conventional and unquestioned by other brides. Allegedly, the limited additional fabric was available for adjustment. My insistence led to a somewhat improved transition despite her reluctance to communicate issues.
Concerning my after-party dress, originally designed with a cross-back strap, the alteration yielded a double straight back, with a tight strap that resembled a tote bag handle rather than a dress strap. Showing her a photo of the incorrect alteration, Deborah claimed there wasn't sufficient fabric to rectify the mistake and it looked just fine. Suggesting that the designer in New York might have extra fabric, I proposed this solution two weeks before my wedding. Eventually, this was resolved just a week before the wedding.
Despite the many process errors, the alteration expenses remained unaltered, which was already quite costly. Unfortunately, this service does not justify its price.
My experience with Mark Ingram Atelier during my wedding preparations was distressing. From dress shipping and fitting to alterations, it caused significant stress and letdown. I had bought three dresses for the ceremony, reception, and after-party, all of which had errors two months before the wedding – issues I wouldn't have encountered elsewhere. I'm sharing this to urge you to think twice before making the same mistake I made by choosing them.
Part - 1: The issue with the main dress for the ceremony
My initial appointment with MIA proceeded smoothly, showcasing various selections from various wedding dress designers. Impressed, I promptly scheduled a follow-up appointment with my stylist Jill through email, confirmed via phone call two days prior. To my astonishment, upon arrival, I was left waiting because my stylist was occupied with another client, despite the confirmation call. This stylist was the same person who had arranged the appointment after my email request. Unfortunately, she neither greeted me nor apologized for the inconvenience caused by the mix-up. The sales manager eventually stepped in to assist me with dress shopping.
After three appointments, I ultimately selected THE dress and my after-party dress. During the fitting session, I discussed retaining the dress's sample color – a nuanced shade instead of pure white. The stylist remarked, "We trust the designer's intended design. The dress incorporates a nude color tone for a specific reason." Feeling content, I signed the contract with enthusiasm.
To my dismay, approximately 10 months later (2 months before my wedding day), when the dress arrived at MIA, and I attended a fitting, the dress was entirely white – a much paler shade than the one I had initially tried on. Confusion engulfed me, and their response focused on the contract. They highlighted that it stated "Ivory White" for the lining and the color. I was taken aback, as the meaning of "ivory white" had not been clarified when I signed the contract. I believed I was confirming the shade I had initially experienced. Regrettably, they exploited this ambiguity to sidestep what they had convinced me to purchase. I paid an additional 25% to send the dress back to the designer to change the lining 1.5 months before my wedding. And finally had the dress back within 2.5 weeks before my wedding for alternation.
I loved my experience at Mark Ingram and found the perfect dress! I wish I could wear it every day because I love it so much! My stylist was extremely patient and helped me try on all of the styles that I was interested in until I found the one. I even worked with their seamstress to make the dress fit perfectly! The seamstress reconstructed a lot of the dress as I was in between sizes and I am so grateful for her work. Overall my experience with Mark Ingram was fantastic due to the helpful and talented people and the awesome selection of dresses
I cannot speak highly enough about the staff, selection and overall experience I had at Mark Ingram. My bridal consultant Jill helped me find the perfect dress - and I was not an easy bride to please. The selection of couture gowns at Mark Ingram is unmatched - it's style and elegance all the way. That's actually what made choosing just one so difficult. Not only did Jill help me find the perfect dress and veil, but was so accommodating when I decided I wanted to add an overskirt a few months before my big day. I had such a fabulous experience - if I had to do it all again, I would choose Mark Ingram again and again!
I was so excited after purchasing a beautiful custom Mira Zwillinger gown from Mark Ingram. The style consulting, selection, and service were friendly and accommodating as expected until the seamstress ruined both the gown and the entire experience. I unfortunately assumed that when she made the alterations she would transfer the appliqué, but instead she CUT ACROSS THE APPLIQUÉ ON THE DRESS to alter the gown and then FOLDED THE REMAINING APPLIQUÉ ON THE OTHER SIDE SO IT LOOKS LIKE THE SEAM HAS SOME BACKWARDS APPLIQUÉ. This was on an illusion dress that should only have one layer of front-facing appliqué. It’s so obviously wrong, and I was completely devastated. I told her it didn’t look right at the next fitting, and her response was “well that ship has sailed honey” and “nobody will be looking there anyway” … Rather rude, and she completely missed the point—I paid good money for the dress and expected the details of the lace appliqué to be handled with care, but it was not, and I certainly did not appreciate the attitude either. I expected so much more from a seamstress working at an atelier with very high end designers. I decided to take the gown home before the seamstress could cause more damage. Adding salt to the wound, the atelier made me pay her around $1000 for the bad alterations before they would ship the gown to me. A VERY upsetting experience over all, and a waste of what should have been an absolute dream of a gown.
My daughters dress was a design by Mark Ingram. Her wedding was postponed due to the pandemic but we were able to hold it this weekend. Her dress was the hit. It was simple, elegant and just plain gorgeous. Thank you for making this day a memory we could never have imagined. The fit was like a glove and the design as I said was fabulous.
The entire event was underwhelming and very disappointing
I wanted to bring three to help my find a dress; my mother, grandmother and future mother-in-law, but they have policy that only two guests could accompany me. The director told me that there wasn't enough seating for an additional guest and that the atelier had several other appointments at the same time so there was no way to accommodate us. When I arrived my group was the only one in the atelier at the time and there were several vacant chairs.
I wanted to try a dress on that they posted on several different occasions on their instagram, but they told me it was a custom dress from a designer so it was not in stock.
I tried on a few dresses and it didn't seem like they had much inventory of what I was looking for. The woman that helped me was very nice and friendly, but I wish she provided me with more guidance.
I absolutely fell in love with my dress and didn’t want to take it off. The Italian lace was gorgeous, the alterations experience was flawless and the dress fit me and my style perfectly. Thank you so much to Mark and his team for the best experience from try-on to preservation! I must have looked at 10 different ateliers and am so happy I went with my dream dress!
The best!! Had a wonderful experience at Mark Ingram. Wonderful selection. Amazing in house alterations. Mark’s team is absolutely the best from selection of dress to the very last detail of alterations
Mark Ingram is an amazing place to find your wedding dress. The boutique is beautiful and everyone is so nice. Tammy helped me to find my dress, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She was so sweet and patient throughout the whole process, even though I was extremely indecisive. She really listened to what I wanted and she was really honest when giving her opinion. I was so lucky to work with her and couldn't be happier with the dress that we decided on! Try to book her if you can! She really is the best.
My experience at Mark Ingram was beyond my expectations - the service, variety of dresses and quality was fantastic. Marah Melillo had an incredible impact on my experience - she was experienced, calm and kind. The atelier has nicely balanced being upscale, but not snobby and has a huge variety of dresses, in a small intimate setting. While I wasn't ready to make my decision during my first appointment, it was my second appointment with Marah that sealed the deal. Mark Ingram was on the floor and personally introduced himself to myself and my family. He and Marah also worked closely following a small budget issue and resolved it within minutes. I would recommend the store to any bride that is looking for an incredible experience!
Mark Ingram Atelier was one of the first stores I shopped in while looking for a wedding gown, and it really set the tone for what a gown shopping experience should be. I was paired with Tammy, whose energy is infectious. She immediately understood my style and what would best flatter my body, and pretty much every single gown I tried on could've worked. We couldn't believe how great the selection was! Even Mark himself came in and introduced himself and was lovely to us. I didn't feel comfortable buying a dress on my first day shopping, but as I visited a few other stores, my shopping experience was just not even close to comparable to my one at Mark Ingram. I returned for a second time during an Adam Zohar trunk show and Tammy encouraged me to try a gown I was unsure about on the hanger. But once I tried it on, we knew it was my dress! Mark and the entire staff made me feel so confident and beautiful-- Mark even called the designer in Israel to show him!! I felt so special. When my mom, sister, and I all started crying, Tammy began to cry too! This just shows how invested she is in her clients. When it came time for my fittings, Debra was unbelievable. She was extremely helpful when showing my sister how to bustle the dress. I just had my wedding on Saturday and got so many compliments about how unique the gown was. Mark has fantastic taste, the collection he curates is really outstanding, and he often discovers new talents. If you are looking for a wonderful shopping experience, helpful, kind, and honest consultants, and a selection of gowns that are truly special and different, then Mark Ingram Atelier is the place for you!
Truly thrilled with my experience at Mark Ingram! After a VERY long search, I found a Mira Zwillinger dress at Mark Ingram (thanks to Katherine C.) that was just perfect. Debbie was my seamstress, and she was absolutely AMAZING.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Mark Ingram Atelier. My consultant Tammy Kreiter helped make it a fun and special time for me. She was mindful of my budget and thoughtful when sharing her opinion. I did not encounter any problems throughout the process (from purchasing to fitting to shipping) and, most importantly, I love my Carolina Herrera gown.
THE BEST! I purchased an Anne Barge gown from Mark Ingram from her trunk show on my first day wedding dress shopping in June 2017. From start to finish, Mark Ingram was incredible to work with. My stylist, Alene, and tailor, Maggie, were both the best. As I live in Boston, they were both flexible with appointment times to accommodate my traveling in for my fittings near the wedding. My dress fit perfectly and was incredibly comfortable. Maggie came to dress me on my wedding day as well which put my mind at ease.
Had a terrible experience here. They unfortunately only care about making the sale; not about the happiness of their clients. They had great dresses, but if the experience is important to you I would highly recommend you go elsewhere. I wouldn’t recommend them to friends or family.
Really terrible experience at Mark Ingraham. I bought my Carolina Herrera wedding dress from here and the tailoring was done terribly. After 5 fittings with many of the same issues over and over again - like an obvious bump in the bust, they said there was nothing they could do and I had to have it tailored the night before the wedding somewhere else. Two separate tailors said that it was clearly done very poorly and that the problems with the dress were easy fixes. On the day of the wedding, the bustle that Mark Ingraham created (and the new tailor did not touch) broke immediately and I had to tie my dress in a knot for the reception - so this is how it looks in all of the pictures. The woman who sold me the dress was only at one - and not even the final fitting - and then told my Mom it fit like a glove. We sent an email laying out some of these complaints and no one EVER responded. Really shocked at how terrible my experience was here, especially their total lack of response.
Highly recommend! I had a wonderful experience working with Ayana at Mark Ingram to select and ultimately fit my absolutely gorgeous Mira Zwillinger wedding dress. The incredibly talented Bernice also created a beautiful simple custom veil for me at a very reasonable price. The process was seamless and the entire staff was incredibly professional, friendly and flexible. When I needed an extra fitting at the last minute, they made it happen. Thank you Mark Ingram!
I had such a wonderful experience here! Katherine was amazing and super helpful. She even followed up after the appointment and arranged to have a dress they didn't have in store brought over for me to try. The overall experience was so pleasant, fun and enjoyable.
I had so much fun working with Ayana to find my dress. She was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. I can't recommend her and the entire team at Mark Ingram highly enough!
As a size 16 bride, I had some trouble finding a salon where I felt comfortable and where the people working there didn't make me feel like I was "too big" to find a dress. However, the second I stepped into Mark Ingram I felt beautiful, taken care of, and special. The woman who I worked with told me that if a dress didn't look good on me it was the dresses fault, not my body's! I can't tell you how empowering that was. She was warm and seemed to care about what dress I picked. I couldn't trust the alterations team more. I never worried about how my dress would turn out. I felt beautiful; I felt like myself; I would do it all again with the help of the women at Mark Ingram. Also, my mother found her mother of the bride dress here as well. She looked stunning!
Marah Melillo saved me from all the perils of dress shopping! She found my dream dress within seconds of me describing exactly what i liked and didn' t like. She is so kind, thoughtful, positive, and has an amazing sense of style. She encouraged me throughout the whole process from purchasing to my very last fitting. Eva Kamberaj was lovely too. She really makes a bride feel confident in her dress and she knows exactly what to tell the fitter to do to satisfy the bride. My fitter was Raquel Garcia and she rocked it! I'd highly recommend Mark Ingram to any bride looking for individual attention. They're a really nice group of people with a high end beautiful collection of dresses!
Mark Ingram is THE place to buy your dress in NYC, and I'm happy to recommend their stylist, Indira, as THE bridal consultant to see. Truth be told, I knew the dress I wanted before I ever tried anything on, but wanted to do my due diligence to the process. Indira provided so many beautiful suggestions, and I happily tried them all on. THEN, she tracked down the 2012 Jenny Packham style I was in love with and had it shipped over from England (since, being an older style, they didn't keep a sample in stock) in both the champagne and ivory colors it comes in. While there were a few close seconds from Indira's rounds of suggestions, the Jenny Packham style I'd had my eye on won out - I was so thankful to her for finding it and making my dream dress happen.
Any time anyone gets engaged, I insist that they HAVE to go to Mark Ingram for their wedding dress. I went to a few other bridal salons during my search, and Mark Ingram blows them all out of the water. I work in fashion and wanted something a little different and unexpected, yet classic, and Mark Ingram was the only place I went where I felt the dresses were truly unique works of art. They carry a curated selection of high fashion gowns that cannot be found elsewhere, without being incredibly overwhelming and exhausting. My bridal consultant, Anju, asked me about my personal style and the vibe of my wedding, and somehow brought me the perfect wedding on her first try. It was like nothing I could have imagined, and yet she was able to grasp my style and what I was looking for and find me the ideal dress. She was like a fairy godmother! Once the dress came in, Anju and my seamstress, Maggie, worked tirelessly to ensure that the dress fit like a glove. They picked up on tiny imperfections that I didn't even notice and would not stop until the dress fit perfectly. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and I 100% owe it to Anju, Maggie, and the team at Mark Ingram for making me feel like a princess.
Spent 2 weeks in New York looking for the perfect dress. Just when we had given up all hope we got recommended to Mark Ingram. We called on the off chance that they would have availability and Aleine said if we got there in 5 minutes she would take her lunch break to help us find the perfect dress. As soon as we walked in it was a magical experience. We ended up trying on 5 dresses and Aleine was amazing. She was very professional and real with us. We ending up finding 2 dresses at Mark Ingram and could not have been happier! I ended up getting sick before the wedding and could not return for the final fittings, but Aleine sent my dresses to Beverly Hills to her trusted friend who we absolutely LOVE and I was able to get my dresses fitted to perfection. Could not recommend a Bridal Salon easily to friends before this experience but after dealing with Mark Ingram Atelier I would not tell my friends to go anywhere else! THANK YOU MARK INGRAM ATELIER!!!
The minute I stepped off the elevator knew I was in good hands. They treated me (and my mother and my best friend) like absolute queens. Their dress selection is wonderful without being overwhelming, they have impeccable taste, and the alterations are detailed and perfect. I honestly want to go back there just to hang out with them. I heard them with other clients and they were just as kind and wonderful with everyone in there. I can't recommend them enough.
First, I will start by saying that during my experience at the atelier, I met Mark himself who was lovely and professional. It is just a shame that his employee, Tammy, had not taken a note from his playbook. The best way to describe my experience is like an adaptation of the scene in Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts walks into a store and is treated like nothing, the store representatives assuming she is not up to their level. I did provide Tammy with my rough, but flexible, budget of $7,000 give or take. She spent the majority of my appointment paying attention to a super model-esq British woman who was in the room next to me, but who had her own shop representative to assist her. She happened to have in her room the Alon Livne gown that initially drew me to Mark Ingram to begin with, and instead of handling that, she tried to discourage me from trying it on and mentioned also that it was outside of my budget. When the dress was finally free for me to try, she tried to tell me that the dress was made exclusively for Mark Ingram, which is a flat out lie. I had been to a boutique in Washington D.C. that confirmed the skirt could be ordered one of two styles, and later confirmed that with a representative from Alon Livne directly. She treated my mom condescendingly, and lacked any warmth that you would expect from a seasoned "professional" in the field. This treatment continued when I was in touch after the appointment to have additional information about the gowns I tried on, because all she had done was draw a rough sketch of them with the designer name, so in my decision making process, I couldn't even look them up to give it more thought. It was like pulling teeth to get any additional information. I was practically begging to spend money with her. I was so turned off and discouraged by the interaction, that I ended up purchasing a gown in Washington D.C. and spent $12,000 because of how comfortable I was in the boutique environment and with the service I received. Ironically, this boutique owner is good friends with Mark Ingram, so you know the caliber of shop is parallel. But at the end of the day you are only as good as your "manager". The experience was truly a shame.
If you're into sexier, more alternative bridal gowns that feel way more like couture than gigantic pastry confections or over-glammed sparkle vomit, Mark Ingram is IT. Think Gaga, Rihanna, Cate Blanchett, Zoe Saldana, FKA Twigs. Gowns for showing bodyodyODY, but with handcrafted lace or unique neck/hemlines.
My Inbal Dror dress was the first one I tried on! Lidia chose it for me, and she was spot on about the other gowns she picked as well. She advised me about a shoe direction (for the record, "a nude Victorian bootie" which I found on CharlotteOlympia.com), and it turned out perfectly.
The dress was made to measure on my body, and I had 3 fittings. It couldn't have fit better -- the staff over there will work until you are totally satisfied.
They have in-house accessories, which are gorgeous, but I went the Etsy route for my small birdcage veil, and all of my other jewelry was curated from a combo of family pieces and newer Israeli designers (Michal Negrin, Lionette by Noa Sade).
My dress was at their lowest price point (I believe they start at $5 or $6k), so be warned that these dresses cost a pretty penny! But it's worth it.
Ayana at Mark Ingram made the dress shopping process so easy. She listened to what I liked and didn't like, which ultimately lead to finding the dress of my dreams. Thank you!!!
I live in New Mexico, but knew I wanted a designer gown. I did some research, and found Mark Ingram Atelier. I worked with Sandra, and she was absolutely wonderful. She made me feel comfortable when trying on dresses, and offered great advice. She was always available when I had questions after I returned home, and she went the extra mile to make sure my dress was perfect for me. It was a challenge living in NM and not being able to return for fittings, but Sandra gave me extensive directions for my in-town seamstress, and my Lela Rose dress was just perfect. The dress and this shopping experience was my favorite part of my wedding. A+ from me!
I bought an Oscar De La Renta dress from Mark Ingram and the dress was exquisite, service was perfect and the Tailoring was exact! LOVE THIS PLACE!
i LOVE my dress. i knew i wanted it from the moment i saw it. it made the night!
I purchased my dress from Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier. The dress selection is an amazing curation of the best of the best. My consultant who helped me purchase my dress, veil and accessories was beyond helpful, kind, warm and patient. I did feel a little rushed during all of my appointments and my fittings. I also felt I had no guidance with choosing undergarments. I had to trouble shoot / trial and error on the actual day of my wedding.
I purchased my wedding gown from Mark Ingram and after having gone to all boutiques possible in NY, Mark Ingram definitely had one of the better selection and assortment. Loved loved my dress!
Mark Ingram is the best for Bridal attire. I absolutely loved loved loved working with everyone. Lydia and Maggie are the best!! They made my experience so enjoyable and I couldn't wait to go to the salon for my fittings. No need to look elsewhere.
After scouting several other bridal dress shops, my mother, maid of honor and I landed at Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier - thank God! Everyone was incredibly accommodating and go out of their way to make you feel (and look) like royalty. Marah Melillo, a breath of fresh air and relief during your search for the perfect dress, helped me from start to finish - even e-mailing me to reschedule fittings on her days off. Mark, the owner(who is the picture of class, style and elegance - think Sydney Poitier!), tends to float around his beautiful premises, chiming in and even lending his astute advice to eager brides-to-be. My experience was nothing short of perfect thanks to them!
Ask for Maggie for alterations : )
What an amazing experience. My mother and I both purchased our dresses from Mqrc and we could not have been happier. The service and attention to detail was outstanding!
I bought my dress from mark Ingram at one of their sample sales, loved my dress and it was marked down 50% from the list price. It was still pricier than I wanted to spend, but I was ready to buy and loved the dress.
the dress was in good shape and close to my fit so I didn't have to alter too much.
Their normal pricies seem competitive w/high end salons.
I bought Monique Lhuillier's Candy dress and loved every minute that I wore it. After three fittings at Mark Ingram, the dress fit perfectly. Mark himself was amazing too and would peek into the room as the tailor was cutting tulle and making adjustments. It was an amazing, personal experience and I will recommend this shop to anyone who is getting married and needs a wedding dress!
My wedding dress was a fairy princess dress - I know every girl wishes she could wear her dress again, but I really wish I could. My Anne Barge was just that beautiful. My wedding consultant Indira was so nice and helpful and really helped me find the perfect dress. My only criticism was that the alternations are charged based on the % of what the dress cost vs. what they actually involved. After spending a lot on alterations was disappointing to find that my bushel didn't stay tied due to the way it was sewn. Other than that, it was a great experience!
I bought my wedding dress here and from beginning to end, it was the most pleasant experience. the service here is impeccable and they made sure I was satisfied with my dress, down to the last detail.
Mark Ingram was recommended to me by a friend and was absolutely a life saver. I went all over NYC searching for the perfect gown and I found it with Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier. The service is so effective that I recommended it to a friend who was also having trouble locating a dress, and she immediately fell in love with one here as well. The customer service is amazing and they are extremely professional. They found the perfect gown for me within minutes. I tried on four and fell in love with two. It was absolutely worth it and made my wedding day extra special.
For a minute there my sales person was loosing me and i was ready to call it a day.. but she came up with the lace dress i wanted. Ann Barge and she made all the changes happen. My dress was beautiful and the extras were done with caution and care.. I had such a great experience. I say no reality show, because i find that whole aspect of media absolutely ridiculous.
Mark Ingram was fantastic and gives a much more intimate experience than doing something at Kleinfeld's. It's a lot less overwhelming. You do have to make sure to ask to see everything though, as the dress I ended up buying wasn't shown to me initially and my sister saw it in the next dressing room and asked if I could try it on.
I changed my wedding venue to overseas for a destination wedding last minute so I had to get my gown in less than 8 weeks. I found a Oscar de la Renta at Mark Ingram that I liked but the rush fee was like 30% of the gown and a lot more expensive than what I had to pay for another Oscar gown at BG which I ended up getting.
did a great job with the fitting.
Ask for Mara... so sweet, so honest and truly listens to what you are saying! Thank you also to Debbie the seamstress... magic hands!
Much more personal attention than other stores. Purchased a beautiful Jenny Lee gown.
The bridal consultant, Tammy Jo, was fabulous. She listened to what my daughter wanted, made our little group (5 of us) feel very special. There was no "No Picture" policy. I am from AL and my daughter lives in NY. Tammy Jo coordinated things between us for the purchase of the dress. All fittings were timely. The dress was appropriately packed and shipped from NY to AL in plenty of time for the wedding. Tammy Jo also instructed my daughter in how to steam out wrinkles due to shipping.
I can not say enough good things about Mark Ingram. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left with my dream dress! Absolutely amazing!
Marah and the team at Mark Ingram were such big help with my wedding dress for the big day. It looked gorgeous and I felt so comfortable. During the alteration process we added straps onto my gown which looked great and as if they were designed with the dress.
I really appreciate all the support from the Mark Ingram team – they made me feel so at ease with everything and adapted to my crazy schedule for fittings.
I felt as though I was the only bride in the world. Sales associates are so patient. My sales associate was willing to think outside of the box and really helped with all wedding jitters.
Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier was a great place to buy "the" dress... they were so accomodating with my crazy work schedule and always made me feel like I was the only bride there. They are very professional and will work with your every needs!!!
I went to Reem Acra, Bergdorf, Saks...etc..finally Mark Ingram, well Sandra and Mark made my dreams come true with my Jenny Packham dress. There was no pressure or attitude like the other boutiques. They were a true joy to work with. I received soo many compliments on my dress etc..
What could have been a stressful nightmare became an exciting adventure with Mark Ingram. Mark is actually hands on and once my daughter found "her dress" Mark helped her remake it until it was really "her dress" and so totally her. The sales people, the seamstresses are amazing and make life so easy for the bride and her mother!
I absolutely Loved my experience at Mark Ingrams. I was lucky enough to have the chance to work with Mark and Ann Barge to design the dress of my dreams. Starting with trying on my dress everything when perfectly right down to the last stitch. All of the ladies were extrememly helpful and kind. They are all wonderful people. I worked with Sandra when choosing my gown and Melissa did my alterations. I can't recommend this shop highly enough. Everything is BEAUTIFUL!
I loved going to Mark Ingram its a small botique and did not feel like a factory like other places. They take the time with you and make sure your dress is one of a kind. Mark is always around and is so sweet.
From start to finish, I had a terrific experience with Mark Ingram. Shortly after making my final decision and putting down the deposit, my consultant relocated. I had no reason to be anxious -- the handover to the seamstress was seamless (ha!), and Debbie took fantastic care of me through all of my fittings. She did an absolutely amazing job altering my dress to my precise figure, and the result was incredible. The entire staff was just great - helpful, supportive and clearly invested in their clients. I'm truly grateful that this part of my planning was so easy and fun because of them.
