Matina's Bridal

It made my wedding day perfect.

she wanted me to try on. I loved both! One of them was the one I almost got. I highly recommend! This is a very intimate experience and allowed the moment to be very special. I only went with another dress because it was just what imagined myself getting married in since I started looking.

and had such much knowledge. I highly recommend making an appointment here if you are in need of a dress!

ped me Facetime my mom and maid of honor so they could get better views of my top choice. At Matina's you are allowed to look through the racks of dresses yourself and tell your consultant which ones you would like to try on. She will pull them for you and place them in the dressing room. This is a great option for brides who know what they want and are tired of consultants pulling dresses that they aren't interested in. There are many options of designer gowns and they offer some samples for purchase for time-conscious brides. Although I did not end up going with a dress from Matina's Bridal, I enjoyed my experience working with Julie.

me at ease. The consultant who helped me was knowledgeable and patient. She understood my taste and picked numerous, gorgeous gowns for me to try on. Although I ended up deciding to wear my mom's wedding dress for sentimental reasons, I could easily and happily have worn any of the gowns I tried on at Matina's.

and helpful with scheduling. Mira did an amazing job with all of the alterations. I would choose them over and over again and highly suggest you do, too!

3 months. Julie and the staff were so helpful. Would definitely recommend this place!

est of my life! Matina's bridal was phenomenal. I bought my dress in Dec 2019/ Jan 2020. Julie and her staff were so friendly and helpful. They spent the time to find different dresses for me to try on. A lot of the samples fitted me weirdly, but the staff helped me envision the look of the dress if I were to had ordered the correct size and altered the dress. I ended up picking up a Lazaro ball gown sample dress on the sale rack and loved it. Because I had appointments at 2 other salons Julie held it for me, and after I visited those salons I went back and bought my dream dress! I never felt pressured to buy a dress from them, they were very understanding of me visiting other salons. If I hadn't found the Lazaro I think I still would've bought a dress from them, they definitely had the broadest and best selection of wedding dresses and the nicest staff. Post dress purchase: This is about when covid hit. It was touch and go with alterations and whether the wedding was going to happen (wedding was originally suppose to be 08/28/2020 but was postponed to 08/21/2021.) Julie stayed in communication the whole time and we started planning for alterations in spring of 2021. Because the dress was a ball room gown with about 10 layers of tulle and a long train it needed trimming on all of the layers and alterations of the straps (the sample fit was perfect so I didn't need alterations on the actual fitting of the waist or chest.) Mira was so amazing. Not only did she steadily trim the dress and check the length at multiple appointments to make sure it was right, she also made suggestions on adding cups to the dress which elevated the look. Mira was so easy to work with, you could tell she knew what she was doing. I'm extremely happy with my alterations. Matina's has a beautiful selection of accessories. I'm not into veils, so I didn't do that, but I did buy a set of hair pieces that worked perfectly with the style of my hair and dress. I bought it during an accessory sale weekend, so watch out for those ;) I am surprised anyone had a bad experience at this bridal salon, I thought they were the most personable, the most helpful, and the most friendly. The other salons seemed like a fake friendly and were kind of pushy. In the end, my dress came out perfect. I am so happy with my experience at this bridal shop and would definitely recommend :)

ry one more shop and we did and I found the most perfect dress for my Outer banks beach wedding (and within budget!). Julie and Bobbi were so helpful, Bobbi pulled probably 10 or so dresses for me and I kept saying no until the last one, which I put on and started to tear up because it was so perfect! So, what I'm saying, is I got a lot of time and attention, which was wonderful. Additionally, they have a seamstress in house which was a HUGE plus for us as the other shops we had to find our own. The tailoring was amazing. We did I think 4 or 5 different fittings, each time the dress fitting me more perfectly. She also added straps which was a must have for me. I can't say enough kind things about the staff at Matina's. They really made the experience enjoyable, especially for someone like me who was extremely self conscious about the way I looked. I felt like 1 billion dollars on my wedding day... and my husband loved it too :)

or arrived a half hour early to just get a feel for the place. About 3mins before my appointment began the sales lady said to her “Where is she? Is she coming” in a very rudely manner. I walked thru the door exactly at my scheduled time. So I was not late. As soon as I walked through the door the sales lady seemed very put off that we were there. She asked for my likes and dislikes in dresses. I showed her some pictures and elaborated on all my likes. After that discussion we stood there in silence for what felt like five minutes until the sales lady finally said to us “well are you going to look?” We were all kind of baffled because we are waiting for her to make the first move and to start pulling out dresses for me since I just spent a great deal of time explaining what I was looking for. That was not the case, she did not help pull any dresses at all. From my experience going with the other brides along with one previous experience of my own, the sales ladies always go and start pulling dresses since they are very familiar with what they have. Basically the time I spent explaining my likes and dislikes was a total waste of time. There were also multiple times where the sales lady was speaking and my bridesmaids would state their opinion. The sales lady would respond to them very unprofessionally and rudely with remarks like: “you are not the bride” “I’m not speaking to you” “Are you the bride?” My matron of honor is very strong supporter of small businesses and new entrepreneurs. She even made a comment that she would never recommend this place to anyone. I found what could have been “the dress” But because of my experience at the store it made me not want to purchase from them. So my search continues. After posting this review on Facebook I got a message from the owner apologizing. Then she continued to request that I remove my review!

me. I had small civil ceremony during the pandemic and Julie made sure my dress was there, pressed and perfect. I will never be able to describe my gratitude for all her help, support, and cheer! I can't wait to keep working with the staff there as I prepare for my reception in December.

al gown. Go visit Matina's, no one can beat their selection of Bridal veils or bridal jewelry. The Pageant by Toni Federici is breathtaking made with Swarovski Crystal. She will help you match up the fabric to your dress. Highly recommend stopping into this store!

not say enough good things about Matina's. I am so beyond thankful that I found the gown that was completely made for me here and came out with new friends as well. Being from Youngstown I had already felt a connection, but then when finding the dress of my dreams with the help of EVERYONE in that shop made my experience THE BEST! They were so kind, helpful, and so easy to work with! My dress was altered MANY times and fit PERFECTLY on my special day! Not only did I get my dress here, but I got my bridesmaid dresses there as well! I couldn't see going anywhere else! I cannot say thank you enough to everyone in this shop for making me feel like the most beautiful bride and all of your kindness throughout the process! I would recommend Matina's 10000000 times over!

t seamstress you can ask for. She has the talent to do anything you want and let’s you run the show when it comes to alterations. This is so important because ultimately you are the one that needs to feel it. Kelly is a wonderful saleswoman, she offers important opinions without taking away from yours. Also they have some decent sales throughout the year which really helps for bridesmaids and accessories!

ay, all of the employees were very positive and made the process run smoothly. Since I bought my dress early, I was also able to take advantage of their accessory sale and bought a custom veil and hairpiece. I was very impressed with the quality of everything I purchased! Additionally, my dress needed some major alterations for my height and I also received a bustle for the very long train. The alterations were done very well and a lot of work was done for the price I paid. I would highly recommend Matina’s to other brides.

s very consistent). Multiple of my bridesmaids were told they were not in my wedding party and were also told to choose wrong bridesmaid dress colors. I could really go on and on about my terrible experience- starting from the moment I purchased my dress to when I walked out and had to go search for a new seamstress a month before my wedding, but I will keep it short. Don't waste your time with a visit here.

as happy, stress-free, and looked exactly how I envisioned myself (& my 6 bridesmaids) on my wedding day. Mira made my dress fit like a glove and is a magician with a needle and thread. Everyone at Matina's is amazing, they're all so kind and genuinely cared about making sure I looked my best on the big day. I really struggled writing this review because there are not enough words to describe how grateful I am to Matina's and nothing that I could ever put into words could adequately describe the truly phenomenal experience I had. Truly the best of the best!

wn and with a short six month engagement Matina's owner Julie knew we had to think creatively. We went through every dress in their store to find one with a strong base that we could build off of. I ordered extra fabric from the designer and Matina's seamstress Mira worked her incredible magic to redesign the existing dress that I purchased. Mira created a new back for my dress and used the existing beading to create a belt to complete my dress. I truly looked forward to every alterations appointment that I had with Mira. She kept me calm throughout the entire process and made it fun in a time that was beyond stressful. To say I am in love with my wedding dress is an understatement... I'm obsessed with it. A year after my wedding I still reminisce about wearing my gown, so much so that I put my dress on for my anniversary so that I could feel the magic of wearing it again. I can't say enough wonderful things about Matina's and their entire staff for helping me to feel like a princess on the biggest day of my life.

doing the job for her (bouncing around between rooms, helping as much as I can). Their selection was extremely limited and pointed to a rack outside of the store because “that’s all they had”. While we were in there, there was a little group (including I’m assuming a co-worker) right in the middle of the salon, just complaining about everything. Worst environment ever. I’m so so happy that I went somewhere else to get my bridal gown. I apologized to my family and will never return.

ual works of art and all stunningly beautiful! Brides go to Matina’s Bridal for your dress!

ere, but thank God I didn't. They gave me so much personal attention. I only tried on seven dresses and picked one on that same day. Their seamstress was amazing and every fitting went smoothly. The owner even helped get the dress to the hotel the day before the wedding. People raved about my dress. Thank you Matina's!!

I’m so sad I don’t get to wear my dress again. Their selection of dresses is unlike any other. Thank you Matina’s!

reat! The owner, Julie, helped to guide me to things that would look great on me and made it super fun, too! The alterations were perfect, and I was thrilled with the overall look. I can’t recommend them enough. If you want to have the best selection and even better service, Matina’s is a must!

ff was helpful, patient, professional, and super friendly. They were just as excited as I was and I was 100% pleased. All you brides out there owe it to yourself to visit Matina’s!

uality of gowns... I would recommend Matina’s to any bride! Julie was reassuring from the moment I walked into the store, to the moment I left with my gown, days before my wedding. Mira, the seamstress, is also amazing! Not only did she customize my gown, but she kept me calm each and every fitting. Every bride deserves an experience this special!

alon we visited and the first dress she tried on. Everyone went out of their way to help make the bride’s dream dress become a reality. We were treated professionally, yet as if we were family. There were no high pressure sales tactics. We left the store to look at other dresses since we had other appointments and wanted to make sure the dress was the “one.” My daughter and the rest of us could not help noticing the difference in the level of service and professionalism and dress quality at Matina”s compared to other salons. Matina”s was our measuring stick. My daughter called and let Matina’s know we were coming back to see the dress with my husband the next day. Julie, the owner made the dress happen for us and Mira is beyond masterful in her tailoring skills. We cannot say enough good things about Matina’s Bridal Salon staff or its fabulous dress selection!! Haute couture for sure!!!

my gown, and Julie and the team handled every single detail with the utmost patience, care, attention to detail, and professionalism, and it is hard to express how important that was to me. Mira, the tailor, is incredible --- her judgement, ability to see what is right for you, her impeccable work, and as a person --- I trusted her completely. From start to finish, Matina's took care of me and I cannot say how much I appreciated that. I could not recommend Matina's any more strongly!

and picking out my accessories, Julie was so incredible, kind and patient with me. Mira did my alterations and my dress fit perfectly! I purchased my jewelry, hair piece and veil there as well and couldn’t be happier! My bridesmaids also got their dresses from Matina’s and we had a blast shopping and finding the best dresses for each of them. Our wedding day was amazing, and I have Matina’s to thank for helping me look and feel beautiful on the best day of my life!

mily. They are very knowledgeable and offered helpful suggestions. I love Matinas and recommend it to any bride looking for the perfect dress!

everyone involved. They have a beautiful selection of dresses and are so flexible! I’m so glad I said yes to the dress here!

ig day... it was so perfect, my mom started to get teary-eyed! Ms. Mira did an excellent job with alterations. When there was a last minute issue with my veil, they fixed the issue, and hand delivered the veil to my house! You couldn't ask for a more caring, experienced team. Thank you so much for making my wedding dress shopping/alterations experience stress free!

dress to beat. We went to Matina’s and Julie and the consultants were so friendly & helpful. I didn’t feel like I was pushed to try on anything I wasn’t interested in or pressured to buy that day. I tried on two dresses and bought the first one. Even though the wedding was more than a year & a half away, I never fell out of love with that dress. Matina’s carried the most beautiful and unique dresses I’ve ever seen. It meant the world to be able to purchase my wedding dress from the same boutique my mother found her wedding dress almost 35 years ago.

th the experience and I LOVED my look on my wedding day.

for more of a variety. I walked into Matina's and instantly could tell that the quality of their gowns and the variety of styles was exactly what I was looking for. I picked out quite a few dresses that I was excited about, and they picked out a few for me to try on as well. Oddly enough the dress I ended up with was one that they picked out for me to try. I never would have thought to pick out the style of gown for myself. I instantly fell in love with it and didn't want to take it off. The experience after choosing the dress was even more enjoyable. Julie and Mira made me feel so comfortable and excited each time I came in for a fitting. Matina's seamstress Mira is a lovely woman with years of experience and she works wonders. I was sad to be done with my fittings by the end and I wish I could do it all over again! You won't be disappointed with Matina's!

icked it up a few days before my wedding. The seamstress did a great job with alterations. I only needed to have my gown hemmed at the bottom, but she did it in two stages to ensure that it wasn't too short. Everyone who works at the store is helpful and friendly. They can provide great recommendations for other wedding related needs too. I would recommend Matina's to any bride shopping for a dress!

ht away, which made the process much less stressful. Once I picked a dress, they helped me pick the most beautiful veil, and customized it exactly how I wanted it. Julie helped me along the way and was so great to work with. Also, their seamstress, Mira, did an awesome job! She was able to perfectly accommodate everything I requested, and the dress looked amazing. I would recommend Matina's to anyone looking for their wedding dress.

their seamstress, Mira. Mira altered my dress just the way I wanted it!!! They have a great selection of unique dresses! I was so happy to find this place. I would recommend them to every bride.

ping me find a silhouette that I loved and felt beautiful in! The entire staff was warm and welcoming and made my family feel welcome as well. They truly made my wedding dress shopping experience so memorable and special! Thank you Matina's!!!

to get married - I was treated like a princess. The people here are amazing.

ulie pulled one off the rack subtly suggested I try it on. Now I had been to many bridal boutiques and was thinking "here we go again", but nonetheless obliged. I hadn't quite understood when brides would say " you will know when its THE DRESS, until I experienced it firsthand. When I stepped into the mirror I knew instantly that it was the dress for me. Ms. Mira did an amazing job with the alternations and french bustle! To all the ladies at Matina's thank you for everything!

wavered for a while between two before I chose my dress. Mira's alterations were absolutely perfect and at my wedding my dress fit me like a glove. I am so grateful to both of them for helping me to find my perfect dress!

my face about the style / price of wedding dress I wanted. They were extremely helpful in guiding me towards the right silhouette and style I had envisioned. I had my dress altered here as well and it fit me like a glove! I had a great experience here and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for not only a wedding dress but a wedding dress shopping experience you will not forget!

ple sizes were also consistently smaller than what I had experienced at previous salons which made it extremely difficult to picture what a dress would look like in my size (I'm a size 10 and sample dresses at previous salons had fit like a glove with full zip). The atmosphere overall was chaotic and overall vibe was cold and disinterested. Family with me were also confused by the bizarre nature of the consultants behavior and the feeling exuded at the salon. I'm thankful I had wonderful experiences at 2 other salons earlier in the day so overall the day was a success!

dn't find "the dress" there!
