My two best friends and myself have all found our bridal gowns as well as our bridesmaids gowns at Memories Bridal By Reem. They truly are wonderful and will help you and your vision come to life. I can not thank Reem and her wonderful staff enough for helping me on my big day. Everything came out better than I ever imagined. I highly recommend their services. Exceptional service.

I decided to make an appointment with Memories Bridal by Reem and I am beyond happy I did because the staff there was absolutely fantastic. I showed Reem no more than two or three “inspiration” dresses I had in mind, and her and her staff pulled out 4-5 dresses for me to start trying on. Now believe it or not, the FIRST, yes the FIRST dress I tried on ended up being the one I said YES to! I literally couldn’t believe that they were able to find a dress that I ABSOLUTELY LOVED, that quickly for me, but they truly did! The professionalism, care, and understanding the staff at Memories Bridal by Reem showed me throughout the entire process of choosing a dress, getting fitted for my dress, and picking up my dress should be applauded. They made it an enjoyable process where I felt cared for in every way. They especially showed me how much they understood how important this process was for me as a bride when they allowed my mom to FaceTime me from abroad to see the dress fittings, discuss shoes, veil, etc. It meant the world to me to be able to feel so comfortable at a bridal shop, and I recommend Memories Bridal by Reem to every future bride, mother of the bride, and bridesmaid wholeheartedly. Thank you for everything!!

- Memories is the first bridal store that I went to. Reem and Ana were very helpful and patient finding styles that I wanted to try and also suggested ones that would compliment my shape. Reem and Ana are honest and not pushy. They make sure you love the dress and don’t don’t force you into one. They suggested I come back in two weeks for one of their trunk shows. This is where I found the dress of my dreams!! Alterations are done on site, which were perfect. I cannot recommend Memories enough!! Reem is a sweetheart and makes the entire experience truly wonderful!!

Reem and her staff were enthusiastic, honest, and professional, and made me feel very welcomed. During the first appointment, they picked out several options for me to try, and I ended up choosing a dress I wouldn’t even have thought of selecting myself. It was within my budget, fairly-priced, and tailored to my liking for a perfect fit. The entire process was quick and straightforward, the end result was gorgeous, and I couldn’t have been more satisfied!

I purchased my wedding dress here and had a great experience. I went into the experience overwhelmed and stressed out, but Reem and her associate Anna were SO helpful, warm, and understanding. They really know their stuff and helped me find the perfect dress for my body and for our wedding's aesthetic. They have a great selection of gowns in every style, from all the designers and lines I was considering. The staff have a great eye for flattering anyone's shape. The prices are phenomenal, especially compared to Manhattan prices--it's really worth crossing the bridge to check out Reem's shop. In fact, we cancelled all our other dress shopping appointments after finding THE dress here on our first try! After I said yes to the dress, the alteration process was super smooth and easy. Reem and her team were great to deal with, and we went back to have the gown cleaned and preserved after the wedding as well. Thank you to Reem and Anna for all your help!!

Reem was very helpful and fantastic from the start. We made an appointment two years before my wedding date and she was able to accommodate all the family members I bought. She brought out so many beautiful dresses but we both knew which dress was "the one." When it came time to do fittings, as a teacher, my schedule is not that flexible but she worked with me and we were able to book times that fit my schedule. My dress was flawless and fit like a glove! Reem is fantastic at what she does and I cannot thank her enough! I literally felt like a princess all day! The designer of the dress is Essence of Australia!

This bridal store was so wonderful to pick my dress from! Reem was amazing and her expertise was so helpful in picking the dress of my dreams! I walked into her store with a dress from a website and she told me that I might not like how that one would look me. She picked one similar for my age group. I tried this dress on that she picked and I fell in love! Reem is so nice and comforting. Her dresses are gorgeous and the shop is beautiful! I highly recommend picking your gown from this store!

Reem and her team are beyond incredible. I told Reem what I wanted and my budget, and she exceeded expectations! She found me something gorgeous, on the first try, then altered it to fit me perfectly. People are still talking about how beautiful my wedding dress was!
I got my dress here, as did my mother-in-law, three (3!!!) aunts, cousin, and flower girl. Reem listened to each of us and helped us find our perfect dresses.
I'll definitely be returning to this shop for my future formal dresses and I can't recommend this shop to brides and their families enough!

I am the mother of the bride and live in Jersey, my daughter lives in North Carolina, where the event will take place. You can imagine the stress of planning from afar. My daughter fell in love with a gown in North Carolina. However they couldn't get it in time for the wedding. Therefore, I randomly called Bridal Stores in New Jersey to locate my daughters dream gown and stumbled across Memories Bridal by Reem. Reem was amazing!!! She new the designer of the gown and contacted them immediately. Reem promised we would have it at a certain date when my daughter was coming into Jersey for her shower. Reem had squeezed us in for a fitting and was a women of her word. Reem turned a stressful situation, into a wonderful memorable one. Reem expedited delivery of the gown to North Carolina and included a garter with the gown too. That was such a nice touch. The gown fitted like a glove. I highly recommend all brides to shop here and create their Memories Bridal by Reem!

Reem and everyone at the Bridal Shop are the sweetest & the most caring people I have ever met!!
The first time I called last year to get a price on the dress Ive been eyeing on, Reem had . hands down . the BEST PRICE out of 8 bridal shops I have compared with. I havent visited her shop and only talked to her on the phone in the beginning. But something kept telling me to go with this place and since the first call, then multiple calls (nervous bride right here), many visits, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I was welcomed with mama Reem's open arms and her sweetness and felt so comfortable. She has been in the business for over 30 years and she knows right away what the issue is and the additional work she did on my dress were.... beautiful. My friends and family were stunned by Reem's very detailed work. I am very excited to wear this dress that is made just for me!
I have to say my wedding preparation was not the smoothest or easiest compared to avg bride and my wedding almost got cancelled. When I was going through a very difficult time with my family issues and my health, Reem gave me comfort and strength that I have never got before. Her heart is pot of gold and I have gained another mom who genuinely wishes me the best with my health and my future.
TRUST ME AND JUST GO WITH REEM.
You will not regret if you choose to go to place. I know it sounds crazy but.. I have to say I couldnt have had this wedding without Reem's support and kind but real words that helped me get through the tough times.
Reem is not just a vendor but someone who really cares about the customer and their special day. You can definitely tell that She prioritizes customer service and great detailed work over making money. She values customer relationship and you can def feel it as soon as you walk into her shop.
Reem, I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for me (dress, veil, jacket, being my mama and many more) I am so glad and grateful I have met you and I will be coming back stronger when I get better and make sure everyone around me knows about this super fantastic lady at Memories Bridal by REEM!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

I went to Memories bridal by reem after a friend of mine recommended her to me. I had the best experience with Reem & her team. They were wonderful from start to finish. I felt so welcomed the second I walked in , I knew I wouldn’t visit another bridal salon. Reem was so patient with me and was so honest. You could tell Reem truly cares about her brides. She helped me say yes to my perfect dress , helped me find the perfect belt to go with my dress & the perfect jewelry. After my appointment, my sisters walked out saying” when it’s our turn we are definitely coming back here “. I highly recommend Memories bridal by Reem to any bride looking for the perfect experience. My family & I absolutely love Reem & her team!

Absolutely love the ladies of Memories Bridal by Reem. I first met Reem when my sister was getting married. A friend had went to Reem to find her wedding dress and recommended Reem to my sister. Once we walked in we knew we would not go to another bridal shop. We recommended Reem to a co worker & she also said yes to her dress at memories bridal . Fast forward a few years ,my other sister was now getting married . So back to Reem we went! Fast forward a few years after that & it was my turn! Reem was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made you feel comfortable the second you walked through the door . Reem is the type of person who wants you to find your perfect dress , she didn’t care about making a sale , she just wanted her brides to feel the best they could in the dress they chose . She was very honest & patient which I loved . Memories Bridal was the only bridal shop my sisters and I visited when looking for our perfect dress . Thank you to the ladies of Memories Bridal by Reem , you ladies truly do go above and beyond for your brides . You are the best there is when looking for the perfect wedding gown !

What can I say ? They say ; when you know , you know ! This was exactly how I felt when I said, “Yes to the dress” at Memories Bridal by Reem. I met Reem in 2014 and knew from that day on, when it was my turn to get married, I’d get my wedding dress from her . The connection I made with her was so personal! I wasn’t even the “bride” and she was so welcoming ! Fast forward 2017 , it was my turn to shop for my dream dress. I called Reem and set up an appointment to meet with her . I walked in weeks later and I was taken back that she remembered me from 2014!!!! She was so personable and we picked up right where we left off ! I picked out five dresses. Tried them all on and didn’t know if any of them was “the one” . Reem said, try on the 3rd dress again ! I did and looked into the mirror again and again . Everyone I was with loved it , Reem didn’t say a word she just smiled. I felt incredibly amazing in “ my dress” so I said , Yes! From start to finish Reem showed me the best dresses , picked out the most beautiful veil , and a stunning jewelry set . She did this from the heart not just to make a “sale” . I will forever remember my special moment because Reem made it so unforgettable. I recommend Memories Bridal By Reem to anyone looking to be more than just a customer .

Thank you for your patience, generosity and for the wonderful experience Reem! With only a few months until the wedding and needing a hijab-friendly dress, I was so overwhelmed and disheartened by my chances of having a dress that my mom and I would love. I made the mistake of running around to different bridal boutiques for weeks before coming here but thank God it was worth it! Not to mention going with a completely different dress midway. Make this your first stop ladies!!

My experience with Reem at Memories Bridal was amazing from start to finish!! Not only was she able to order me the dress I had been searching for, she stored it for me all through quarantine without even asking. She allowed me ample time to diet and feel ready to begin alterations, and she made me feel SO comfortable from the moment I walked in. She was so sweet, complimentary, and accommodating. She made me feel like I mattered. The alterations were absolutely perfect and she made me feel beautiful in my dress. Other boutiques I visited made me feel less than beautiful, uncomfortable, and I just couldn’t wait to leave. Reem made me feel like part of her family. I will forever be grateful for finding her store, and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know. She is one of a kind, and amazing at what she does. Thank you!!!

Reem and all of Memories Bridal is part of our family. We’ve know each other since we were young. She did my daughter’s sweet 16 dress, her prom dresses, and now my daughter-in-law’s wedding dress. The love and the professionalism she brings is unlike any other store. We’re excited to continue our legacy with Memories Bridal.

I had gone to a couple of wedding shops before coming to Memories.. and I could never find my dress. The consultants tried to help find my dream dress, but always missed the mark.
REEM is incredible! She was so tentative and really knows her stuff about dresses and different styles! She helped me try on dresses in styles I had shown her. Listened as I stated what I liked and didn't about each dress, and then combined everything I had said together and FOUND ME my perfect dress. The minute I tried it on- I cried hysterically! She found a dress that perfectly fit what I was looking for and looked amazing on my body! I am so thankful that I went there for my dress!!

Through the wedding planning process, I was least concerned with my dress. I knew I was in great hands with the ladies at this salon and my dress ended up fitting perfectly and being one of my favorite parts of my wedding day and pictures. They knew how to alter the dress so it would be comfortable but also look great, and listened to all of my concerns and requests with the little details. I initially visited the salon due to the selection - lots of beautiful dresses (I was looking for a fit and flare) and multiple price points. I will admit that I was not overly excited by the service and the sales associate at my very first appointment, but once I met Reem I knew this was going to be a great experience. They really make you feel like family and will take great care of you!

How lucky was our family to have found Memory Bridals by Reem in Ridgefield, NJ! We had already been to so many bridal places all over NJ and NY and our daughter was struggling to find the right dress - her dream dress. It wasn't that we had any bad experiences anywhere else - its that we had the most amazing experience from the moment we walked into Memory Bridals and met Reem and her crew. In two minutes, we felt like they were family and cared as much about pleasing our daughter as we did. Reem knew exactly what to show her, had a lot of different dresses we hadn't seen anywhere else, and she made her feel comfortable and assured her she can make any changes and alterations my daughter wanted. They followed through on everything they said and customized her dress to be exactly what she had always envisioned her whole life as her dream dress. They listened with open ears and big hearts, and made her dress even more beautiful than we expected. We added sleeves, changed the neckline, changed part of the illusion back, added applique in different areas, added more crystals and bling, had extra fittings, and not once did they nickel and dime us or not have a big smile for us. We only wish someone out there had told us about them and we had found them sooner...so we are writing this to let you know you must go here, they are the most professional and caring bridal shop. They are now family to us and any time we need a formal gown of any kind - they will be our "only" stop. They also have a huge amazing selection of accessories from gorgeous tiaras and hair combs to any jewelry you might need at such reasonable prices. We can only tell you that you will not be sorry you went here for any special occasion and in fact you will probably cry when you pick your dress up and say goodbye to them! They aren't five star - they are fifty stars!!!

Finding the perfect wedding dress is a challenge for any bride, but Reem made my journey to my dream wedding look a smooth and amazing one. Not only does she have an amazing selection of wedding dresses but she is one of a handful of vendors that carry a specific couture line. Reem is so professional and knowledgeable that I felt delighted to have found my dress at her bridal salon. I cannot thank her enough for her guidance and help during this amazing journey. I would recommend brides visit Memories Bridal. I can proudly say that wedding dress dreams came true at Memories Bridal by Reem and I am sure yours will too.❤️

I began my dress search at larger boutiques in NJ and tried almost 18 dresses. The process was becoming frustrating, as I could not find a dress that was perfect; not needing additions which generally increase the cost. I decided to try the knot to look at other NJ boutiques and see what everyone is saying about them. This is when I found Memories Bridal. Reem and her staff were courteous and professional from the moment I walked it. I tried 3 dresses and found the PERFECT ONE. What I love especially is the fact that they do not coerce you into just buying any dress. They work with you to find your perfect look. Everything about my experience with Memories Bridal was beyond expectation; timing; pricing; accessibility....... Reem, the owner is a beautiful soul. She knows exactly what to say and do to make each bride feel like they are a true princess/queen. She also knows exactly how to calm us down.....She has made my experience so personal that I began referring to her as "Auntie Ree!" LOL. If I had to do it all over again, I would have saved myself the headaches and stress and went directly to Memories Bridal! It's definitely the boutique for any bride wanting to look and feel amazing!! Thank you, Auntie Reem!

I ended up finding Memories Bridal by Reem because she was the only one in NJ who carries the designer I fell in love with. I am so thankful for this!

I was having a very difficult time finding a wedding dress, I am usually very decisive and nothing was working out right...thankfully I went to go see Reem and her staff at Memories bridal because she found me the most stunning wedding dress! I had thought of this store because Reem had helped me order a Jovani outfit for my engagement photos, the outfit was unbelievable and they fit it to me perfectly based off pins my mother had set because I couldn't make it in for tailoring. My wedding was this past September and I still can't get over how gorgeous the dress was, and of course half of what makes a wedding dress perfect is how it fits....I don't think I will ever own something that fit me as perfectly as my wedding dress. I will only bring my dresses and clothes to Reem and her seamstresses now! You can tell this store is a family owned business that really cares about their customers, if you want to find your dream dress definitely go see Reem!!

Extremely not pleased with their customer service! I should have asked to speak to the owner prior to FINALLY booking my appointment like my fiancé advised me to. I was looking forward to shopping at this store since it has good ratings. There are so many reasons as to why I needed to write a poor review.
1. I tried booking an appointment for bridal gowns for an entire month. I called, left messages and sent an email. I didn’t hear back from them.
2. After an entire month, I decided to call and book an appointment for bridesmaids dresses since they apparently carry a specific designer I was interested in. Unfortunately, I couldn’t book the time that I originally wanted so I had to go with a time that was a little inconvenient for everyone.
3. Once we get to the store, I explained to the lady, Cynthia, the kind of dresses we were looking for (long sequin dresses) and the preferred designer and collection. They didn’t carry ANY of the 10 styles from the desired collection! I had to ask Cynthia twice if she had any other designers that matched our criteria.
4. After my girls put on the dresses, Cynthia just stood there and I HAD TO ASK her to clip the dresses for the girls so they can see how the dresses look because they were swimming in them. She clipped a few but while some of the girls were still trying different dresses on, she stood around holding a dress in her hands while I helped pull some dresses back.
After the girls tried on the dresses, Cynthia asked me if I found a wedding dress and asked for the designer and where I’ve been looking. She then told me that I should make an appointment to look at wedding gowns because they carry a lot of designers at competitive prices. I honestly was unstasifed with their service that I refuse to give them business. Although they may carry a lot of designers and latest collections/styles, I rather give my money to someone that actually picks up the phone or answers my emails and takes care of me and my girls.

Memories Bridal by Reem is just the best. Reem, Anna, Cynthia, and Daniella were all such a pleasure to work with and were so helpful throughout the entire process. They are all so nice, warm, friendly, patient, and professional. I ended up getting everything from Reem - my wedding dress and all accessories (veil, hair piece, earrings), my mother’s gown and accessories, 9 bridesmaid dresses, and flower girl dress. Reem had everything I was looking for and the service was just exceptional. Shopping for a wedding dress is so special but can also be a bit overwhelming - there are so many dresses out there. Reem and her team were always so patient and helped me find the dress of my dreams. I looked at a few other places as well, but would always go back to this one dress at Reem’s shop - I ended up trying it on 3 different times before saying yes, and Reem and her team were always so accommodating to me. I would highly recommend Memories Bridal by Reem to any bride looking for the perfect wedding dress!

Memories Bridal gave me the bridal experience every bride dreams of. I came in without knowing what I wanted or what would even look good on me. Reem and Daniella helped me every step of the way. They guided me through picking a gown, altering a gown, picking out all of my accessories and they even helped me with the rest of my bridal party. Thank you doesn't begin to cover it. I would recommend Memories Bridal by Reem to ANY bride looking for her perfect dress. They are helpful, professional and most of all KIND.

I had been to countless bridal salons trying to find my perfect wedding dress and Memories was my last stop of the day. Exhausted from trying on so many dresses, Reem said let’s try this one - and it was the one! After telling Reem what I was looking for, she knew the perfect dress for me and she was right! Working with Reem and her team was very easy and alterations were done very quickly! My bridesmaids and both my mom and mother-in-law also got their dresses there . I would recommend Memories bridal by Reem for anyone looking for their wedding dress!

Reem and her staff were a pleasure to work with. My favorite part of my wedding was picking out my dress and I easily found it on my third try! Cynthia and Reem were very helpful and attentive through this process. They knew what I was looking for and gave me positive feedback. I fell in love with my dress instantly and liked that it was a very unique, one of a kind gown. My bridesmaids purchased their dresses here as well and it was also a fun experience for them. At each of my fittings, Reem was always warm, sweet, and professional. She made me feel at ease and made me feel like a beautiful bride. I can't say enough positive things about Reem and her staff. They are incredible people that I have love for. I highly recommend them to family and friends and to anyone looking for stunning gowns for special events.

I first met Reem two years ago when my sister got married. She got her dress and all her bridesmaid dresses from Memories, and we had such a wonderful experience, it was the first place I wanted to look when I was shopping for my own wedding dress.
No joke: I literally bought the first dress I tried on. Granted, I tried on about 10 more after finding "the one" just because I wanted to be 100% sure, but sure enough, I ended up with the first dress. After my first fitting, I realized that the straps on my dress (which were beaded) were not my favorite - and Reem could tell I wasn't happy just from the look on my face. She told me she should make me new straps using the lace from my dress, and they turned out beautifully - even better than I could have imagined. At the wedding - everyone raved about my dress! I loved it so much I didn't want to take it off. Reem and her team made sure everything was perfect and that I left happy after each and every fitting.
Memories offers a beautiful selection of dresses for brides, bridesmaids, mothers of bride/groom, etc. I never felt like they were rushing me or trying to persuade me into making a decision, it was really a stress-free and wonderful experience working with everyone at their store.

What a dream! I recently just had my wedding two weeks ago and I couldn't be any happier with my dress! From the first time I found THE ONE to my last fitting REEM and her team were amazing! I searched high and low for the perfect dress and it was exactly what I dreamed of. When I came to try on my dress for the first time, I saw the perfect MOB dress that I wanted my mom to try on. When I tell you that we went to over ten stores, we went to 10 stores for my Mom. The dress was perfect for her and exactly what she had been looking for and couldn't find anywhere but here! This dress shop makes you feel like you are a part of the family. I am so happy that I found this shop. It was the perfect experience and the perfect dress. Thank you Reem!!

I just said yes to my dress at Memories Bridal and I couldn’t be happier. I worked with Cindy who was as a gem and catered to the fact that my mother doesn’t speak English very well. She listened to what I wanted and delivered! She was great about sticking to my budget and I ultimately left with the 5th dress I tried on. The seamstress was also available and walking the floor and helped me to envision any changes I wanted to make to the dresses I tried on. Very attentive and nice staff. We will definitely be back for an MOB dress appointment!

Limited wedding dresses maybe about 30 or so. They all look the same pretty much. I told her I didn't like sparkles and she brought me dresses with sparkles! Tried on about 8 dresses and she told me to get dressed and look at her selection that's when I realized there is no variety. She was the only person there that day but I was her only customer and she seemed to get frustrated with me after only a few dresses. I was in and out in 30 min. I would not go wedding dress shopping there but her selection of bridesmaid dresses are decent.

This was my first experience wedding dress shopping and I was truly looking forward to the experience. My family and I had traveled about an hour and a half to come to the salon as it was one of the only salons to carry a designer I was interested in. I arrived early, however was not taken until 15 minutes after my appointment time had already started. Unfortunately for me, this meant I did not have the typical hour time slot, as I was the last appointment of the day. Once in the dressing room, I was told how exhausted the staff was as it had been a long day. From there forth, it was evident that I was more of a bother to have in the store; someone they wanted to get out as soon as possible. I had very little help getting in and out of the dresses. Once in the dress, it was neither smoothed or the bottom adjusted- my mother had to do that each time I existed the dressing room. Towards the end of the appointment, my mother had asked if I could try on one last dress to which she was told, "No, no more. We are done."
Overall, this was an extremely negative experience. Even if I did find a dress I was interested in, I would honestly go elsewhere to purchase it because of the experience had at Memories Bridal.

Reem has been great! Super helpful & easy going every step of the way and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I am comfortable and that the dress is exactly the way I want it. She's super personable and great at what she does. I had the opportunity to buy the same gown at two different places but I chose Reem because she made me feel the most comfortable and cared for. She was patient, kind & very knowledgeable. I am so glad I decided to get my bridal gown at Memories!

I truly am so grateful to Reem and her team! The service and quality time they gave me as a bride was impeccable! They listened to the style I wanted for my wedding day and my dress and nailed it! Reem is truly a kind-hearted, beautiful person willing to help and make sure your day is perfect starting with the dress. She even made me tear up the day of pick up with her kind words, bright smile and beautiful surprise to me. I can not speak enough of Memories Bridal by Reem, so all you have to do is experience for yourself! Sending lots of love and thanks to Reem and her wonderful team.

Reem deserves 20 stars! She is the best! All of her staff were all so nice. I loved this place from the minute I walked in. I purchased 2 gowns from her. She has such a wide variety, there really is something for everyone. She makes you feel like family. My mom also got a dress from her. The process was so easy and from fittings to alterations. Even the accessories are lovely- I got the most beautiful tiara there. My 2 gowns were just beautiful and all my guests loved them also.

I had major bridal angst looking for a dress I wasn't sure existed. The team here was great and I felt like they actually listened to what I was looking for.

Reems bridal was ok but i had some concerns that my family shared when we left. The sales associate did attempt to work in my budget but it was still above it with dress selections. My biggest concern was that the dresses were coded and you weren't allowed pictures. They wouldnt tell me the designer of any dresses and claimed they were exclusive. They give you some speech about how you should purchase the dress not the designer and that's great and all but I want to know what I'm wearing and if I'm being ripped off or not $$ wise. They do not allow pictures either and the lack of pictures made it difficult for me to make a decision or remember what I looked like so I ended up choosing a different boutique. The sales associate was quick to give the "dont be superficial about designers" speech but asked to see pictures of myself in other gowns from a different boutique.

This was my second marriage and for the second time I chose Memories Bridal by Reem for my wedding gown. I went with a CasaBlanca dress that I had altered to make it a more elegant and vintage feel for my outdoor mansion wedding. The dress was absolutely stunning and Reem did a fantastic job bringing the dress to life as I saw it in my head. I received so many compliments on how the dress was just perfect. I highly recommend that any bride getting married for the first or even second time see Reem. She understands and helps make your vision come true. Thank you again, Reem!!

If I could give this place negative stars I would! I was in two weddings 6 weeks apart spent over $600.00 two dresses and not one of my bridesmaid dresses were altered properly. The first wedding I was in the dress was falling off the day of my best friends wedding they had to safety pin the dress to my bra to keep it from falling down. I had gone for two different alterations at this point. For the second wedding I was in I was in school and had no time to try on my dress prior to school being done. I had been in contact with Reem and she told me all she needed was 3 days to alter the dress. I go try on the dress and the dress is HUDGE, so she pins me up and says ok your done. I had my dress picked up for me because I was studying for finals and the drive for me to Reems shop is over an hour away. 5 days before the wedding I get the dress to me and GUESS what this dress isn't altered property either. It was a short dress and the waist fit fine but she never altered my bust area. I was in a panic and that to bring it to a local seamstress by my house to fix her mess. STAY AWAY! I can't believe Reem lets brides and bridesmaids walk out of her shop after giving her so much business knowing that the dress was not altered. No wonder why she says the alterations are free she doesn't do them.

I live in Manhattan so after going to all the overpriced bridal boutiques here I felt a bit hopeless. Then I found Reem who has beautiful and reasonably priced dresses. It was the only boutique in the tri-state area to carry the specific European designer whose collection I found online but couldn't find in Manhattan. When I initially came in, found and ordered the dress it was November 2016. While I was planning the wedding I became pregnant and we postponed the wedding until June 24, 2018 so that we could focus on the baby and so I could fit into the gorgeous dress I just bought! Reem was nice enough to store it for me for a year. I managed to lose the baby weight and then some. I had also ordered a veil and for cups to be put into the dress, which never happened. She then tried to sell me a more expensive veil, charged me for cups that weren't put in and changed the price of the wedding slip from $60 to $150. At the end I was a bit frustrated that after I had already paid for the dress and alterations all of a sudden on my last fitting she summed up $600 worth of extra charges. I said no thanks and just bought the veil and then left with the dress . When I put the dress on on my wedding day it was perfect, but then less than one hour after wearing it sitting in the limo one of the breast cups concaved and had a weird indent. I didn't realize it during the first look and photoshoot. In all my photos there is a crease in the dress. I have no idea what happened or how it got there. It was really hot so maybe the structure was poor quality and it just collapsed. Maybe something happened during storage. Thank god my hair was long and half down so during the entire reception I kept putting my hair in front to hide it. But when I see it in photos it makes me so upset. I wish they had put the cups in as they originally promised, maybe it would've helped. Such a stunning dress and when I think of it all I can remember is that horrible indentation in the cup. Wish I could post a photo so you know what I mean. Point is there are great dresses here, great service, but be wary of made up price fluctations, quality and that there is no compromise to your dress!

I cannot say enough about Memories Bridal by Reem! Reem, Frances and Anna are wonderful! Reem knows what a bride should wear before she even knows herself. The service that Reem and her staff gave me was excellent. She is very warm, patient and supportive. The prices are good and better than New York.
Earlier in the day, I had tried on a number of dresses but no luck. Then, I went to Reem's and there was a trunk show. Each dress that I tried on was better than the next as Reem knew that a fit and flare would look best on busty and curvy woman. The very last dress was my "yes" to the dress! It was strapless and Reem made me short lace straps to match my dress and give me extra support. Also, she sewed in a corset as well as a piece of lace from my mother's dress into my dress. Lastly, Reem made my veil, which complemented my dress perfectly. My NOW husband just loved my dress!
I cannot thank Reem and her staff enough for everything they did for me. I especially cannot thank them enough in helping with my sister picking up my dress. Two days before my wedding and on my way to New Jersey, I took a very bad fall and hurt knee rather badly, so I could not go myself to Reem’s. I sent my sister and my mom and Reem and her staff were so helpful. THANK YOU Reem for everything.

The second my mother and I walked into memories bridal we knew we were walking out with the dress of my dreams. We were welcomed by the owner Reem who is a very special woman. She has a very warm feeling to her and is patient and supportive. She went through numerous styles, designers, and dresses with myself. After trying on many dresses we found the one. I was a little unsure of the dress but with constant support and complements from Reem I trusted my instinct and I chose the dress. The day of my wedding I could not have never pictured myself In any other dress. I am so happy Reem guided and supported me in finding my dream dress. The entire staff was very professional and welcoming. They offered many different styles and dresses for bridesmaids as well. My six bridesmaids also purchased their beautiful dresses from Reem. They looked absolutely gorgeous. It was a pleasure to go back and visit the staff each time during our fittings. My experience with Reem was a very personal and special one. Her compassion and character is very much appreciated. Thank you Reem to you and your staff for all you had done for my family and I. I advise other brides to visit Memories Bridal you will not be disappointed.

Where do I even begin?! This entire experience that I have had the pleasure of encountering at Memories Bridal Shop has been such an unforgettable, moving and positively emotional remembrance! My wedding is October 15, 2016 (12 days) and I have to say that I am actually sad that my days of visiting this shop (fittings, final pick up) are slowly coming to an end. There has not been a time where I have gone into Memories where I didn’t feel completely special, unique or exceptional. Each and every time Reem has personally greeted my mother and me with a hug and a kiss! It didn’t even feel like I was going into a Bridal store. Instead, it actually felt as though I was visiting a long time friend or family member! Reem truly cares about making her brides feel unique, special and well taken care of! She actually customized my dress so that it is unlike any other gown out there. All I did was show her a picture and she left me absolutely speechless with the final outcome! Her patience and genuine nature are unlike anything I have seen on my journey towards finding the perfect dress. Other places have rushed me or even have pressured me into believing that “This gown was the one.” Reem truly allowed me to express myself without any pressure whatsoever! I did not feel rushed nor urged to make a decision. She is truly one of a kind and was such a delight to work with. More importantly, alterations and my cathedral veil were included in my final price and Reem even sewed in a piece of my father’s shirt in the shape of a heart, which is something I could never thank her enough for!!! The amount of happy tears that have been shed in this place, from my mother, my cousin (maid of honor) and myself are countless and I am BEYOND fulfilled with gratification and appreciation for all of Reem’s hard work in making my journey towards becoming a bride one of the most treasured emotional experiences I have to look back on!!!

Working with Reem and her entire staff was one of the best experience I had while planning my wedding. My 2 best friends and I all got/are getting our wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses through Memories Bridal. The prices are very competitive, the bridal selection is extensive and high quality, and I always felt cared for, which is a credit to Reem's personality and how she encourages her staff. Going to Memories Bridal is a personal experience, you are not in a wedding dress factory, and that meant the world to me. Reem rush ordered my dress so that my grandma could see it before passing - that wasn't customer service, that was Reem's caring, loving heart. There is no sales pitch; it is a establishment built on talent and relationships. The dress alterations were spot on and I felt comfortable and beyond happy in my dress for the best day of my life. I recommend Reem to everyone and I just think so highly of Reem and her staff and am so appreciative to them for their guidance and support.

I bought my wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses at Memories Bridal. My mother also got her dress too. If the specific dress you want is not in the store, they will do everything they can to get the dress you desire.
Reem and her coworkers were so nice and easy to work with! Their prices were the most reasonable out of the 5 other places I visited in North Jersey. Anything I asked for, minor or major, they did. I am still going back there because all of my friends are using Memories Bridal! They are the best!! Thanks again Memories Bridal for making me look fabulous on my special day!

Anna and Reem are the absolute best!!! From the beginning they were kind and knowledgeable, and they made me feel amazing! They heard my vision for my wedding day, and they absolutely nailed it while taking excellent care of my family in the process. My mom loved my dress experience so much that she ended up getting her MOB dress there as well. Definitely add Memories to your list of places to try on dresses!! I couldn't have been any happier, and each time I left, whether it was after buying the dress, or after a fitting, I left smiling and happy and knowing that I made the best choice. Thank you Reem and Anna! You ladies are the sweetest <3

All I can say is FANTASTIC!! I went to two other places before Reem and I should have came here first. I tried on over 10 dresses before setting foot into Memories. I gave Reem what I wanted in a dress and she knew off the bat from my personality alone, I need a WOW factor. I would have went with the first dress if it wasn't so heavy since my reception was in the middle of July. The second dress was everything. Thank you so much Reem and her amazing helpful staff for all that you do. You make every girl's dream come true.
And to the reviews I read giving a one star review- it is about how YOU make the dress look on you, not the NAME BRAND that makes you look.

I was referred to Reem by a friend and let me tell you, she was amazing. Both her and Frances had us laughing throughout the appointment and they were able to answer every question without hesitation. The dress selection is great and they really wanted to get a feel of what you wanted, without being pushy or thinking their opinions were better. It was a great experience and I am looking forward to referring them to all of my friends <3 Thanks ladies!
