Amazing service! Amazing experience! Everyone was extremely nice. My bridal consultant made me feel like I was the only bride in the store. She took note of what I did and did not like and offered gown selections from there. Also, their selecti...

If you buy a dress here, do not let the alterations department touch it. I had a horrible experience they charged my mom nearly $400 for dress alterations for my wedding dress. Then they completely messed it up. I am having to take it to anothe...
r seamstress to fix it. We will have to spend more money to pay her for her work. My new seamstress is having to completely redo what they did and more, and it is less than two weeks till my wedding. I just hope she can fix it in time. We paid nearly $2000 for my dress and, they did not care that I was upset and unsatisfied with the fit. When I told the alterations department at Mimi’s I wasn’t happy with the dress, the owner told me that they couldn’t do anything else to it. She told my mom our ticket was at the front. She was extremely rude.

I had such a positive experience at Mimi's. I worked predominantly with Olivia, and she was awesome (although I didn't have dealings with anyone there who wasn't). They went above and beyond to ensure I got THE dress (even after being tempora...
rily placed on hold for someone else, much to my extreme dismay). The alterations were affordable and done in a timely manner. There is so much detail in the dress I chose, but there wasn't a single detail lost in the alterations. Judy works miracles! I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Mimi's, the products, and the alteration services. Just a pleasant experience all the way around. I would recommend Mimi's Bridal to anyone.

e in my bridal party. All have told me different stories of coming in and having to wait on someone to come and ask them if they needed help. Also, the girl insisted on me telling her that I forgotten my father-of-the-bride's name and phone number when I left it blank with a line through it because my father had passed away 3 months before. I cried every time I went in there after that because the people that work there are so young to understand that everyone has different circumstances. I would not recommend Mimi's Bridal to anyone.

I started the very first visit having a lady try and tell me what I need and don't need. When I ordered my dress they told me it would take no more than 3 months to arrive. After 3 1/2 months went by I had to call them so they could let me know...
that it would take 6 MONTHS to get in! When I got my headpiece, once again I was told one time limit and after that time went by they finally called me to let me know that they ordered the wrong headpiece and couldn't get what I wanted on time! When it was time for my alterations I had to tell them 3 different times that I needed ONE thing taken out and finally on my last visit they finally took it off! NEVER GO TO MIMI'S BRIDAL!!!

the rack and have a few things altered. The dress had obviously been tried on many times, and the zipper was coming unstitched. I tried on the dress for the seamstress and she made a few notes. My zipper was to be fixed and the dress ready to pick up the following month. I drove TWO HOURS to this bridal store to pick up my dress to find that the zipper had not been touched. Again, I tried on the dress, spoke with the seamstress and left the dress. I was scheduled to come back in two weeks to pick up my dress. Two weeks passed, my dress still was not fixed. Each time, their excuse was--"It's prom season and we are really busy." This time, because of the long drive, I sat in the dress shop and waited until the seamstress fixed the zipper. I brought my dress home with me that day. I will not recommend this bridal dress botique to anyone needing alterations. Their dresses are beautiful, but their service is poor!

I am extremely glad that I chose to work with Mimi's Bridal. I had tried on the dress that I decided I wanted at another bridal store; however, they were very unhelpful and rude. The other store would not tell me what designer I was trying on...
and even went as far as to cut the style number out of the tag. I was determined I was going to find that dress. I went to Mimi's to see if they might have it. The girl that helped me said she didn't think that they had that dress in the store but said that we could look at designer books to try to find it. She took the time to sit down with me and my sister to look through a stack of 15 or more designer books to help me find that perfect dress. We found it! Mimi herself was wonderful. She was so very helpful with all of the issues that I had with my bridesmaids, their dresses and their fittings.

Not only was the selection great but the staff at Mimi's bridal went above and beyond every single time I was there.

I recommend her to everyone and even had a girlfriend buy her dress there this Spring!
