Monica's Bridal

to alter the gown as I did for the actual gown itself! And they made me pay for the alterations up front before I even saw how they fixed it for me. I was hesitant because I didn't want to pay for something in full before it was done and I was absolutely in love with it. They assured me that they were professionals and it would be perfect so I paid the ridiculous charge. When I came to pick up my dress and I didn't love how it came out the staff was very rude and made me feel even worse. The head of alterations came out and told me they did exactly what I wanted and that there was nothing else to do for me. It was a nightmare. I took my gown home that day and will not be wearing it on my wedding day. Extremely disappointed in the way the staff treats their brides and instead of leaving the shop as a happy bride I left crying in tears. I will never recommend this bridal shop to any of my future brides

s ago I made my 1st purchase for my prom dress(which I still love today). I am a proud, honored, & extremely excited client to say Monicas Bridal then and now is my top choice for any event I have. ~S.McKenzie~

we all fell in love with and she helped guide me through different styles and fits. To start, I picked out 2 dresses and Cathy suggested 1 more. I tried on the first two which were beautiful, but not the right one. I tried on the 3rd and that was it!!! So painless, not at all what I was expecting to go through finding a dress. It was the "Mildred" by Pronovias. Perfectly fitted to me. I had so many complements on my dress I felt like a million dollars. I found the perfect wedding dress for my perfect wedding. Thank you to everyone at Monica's Bridal.

as surprised to the huge selection of dresses and because they were so organized, it made it easy to shop "what you like and don't like." I had booked an appointment to Kleinfields and cancelled it after my experience at Monica's. The girls truly make you feel important and dedicate their time to you. The reason I gave the place a 4 is because parking was very difficult. Be mindful if you are going with your bridal party and parents to car pool. My dress was absolutely perfect fitting and I truly had my dream wedding. Thank you to the entire team at Monicas.

ger and she sincerely apologized. The alterations were also great.

ble! I high recommend Monica's Bridal as they custom and create the perfect dress just for you! They give you just the right amount of time and give you the most honest opinion to help you look fabulous on your wedding day. I was truly happy with the service and can not wait to finally have my dream wedding dress on in just a couple of weeks. You can do as many fittings as you want and they always manage your time according to what works for you. They have every style from every designer.

In addition, they have the perfect evening gowns for anyone in your bridal party. Thank you Monica's Bridal for making the life of bridezilla a whole lot easier! Can not wait to be in my one of a kind gown! - Servete Dz.

he wedding dress designer/owner! Daisy was so patient with me and so helpful! She didn't rush me nor did she make me feel uncomfortable. She was nothing but sweet and extremely nice! Well I found Monica's Bridal through instagram and absolutely loved her work! I knew I had to go to NY and find my wedding dress there! I flew all the way from Texas to visit Monica's Bridal and I was nothing but pleased by them! From the moment I tried on my first gown, I fell in love with the style. I tried on another gown and loved both of styles. I ended up getting a custom made gown with every detail I loved on both gowns. The owner of the store was soooo sweet! I have never met a lady so passionate about what she does and she knew how much I really wanted this dress! She worked with my budget and made sure that I was getting the dress of my dreams! The prices aren't cheap but its worth what you are getting! The designer assured me I would get the most beautiful gown custom made with every detail I asked for! I honestly can't thank Monica's bridal enough! Thank you so much for the best experience! I will never forget this day and how I felt! I recommend this to any girl out their who has dreamed of finding the perfect gown. You can not go wrong with Monica's Bridal! I can't wait to go back in March 2015 for my fitting! Im so excited to see what the designer has designed for me!!!! XOXO Shipe

y experience at the boutique was beyond the expectations. All staff is very professional, delicate and polite. The atmosphere at the salon is very relaxing. And MOST IMPORTANT - I found the dress of my dream!!! With just a couple of fittings scrupulous tailor brought it to the perfection! I can't cease to thank Monica's Bridal personnel for participating in my wedding planning. Looking forward to my Big Day!!!

bout what I wanted. I suggest every bride to go to Monicas bridal even if it's just for the experience you will be very happy with your visit!

type. The workers there were very kind and welcoming, this was the first place I went to where they are all about the best interest of the bride. The best service! If your a bride this is the place to go to, don't bother going anywhere else this is a one stop place where you'll find anything and everything you need for the price you want.

store I visited, but was lucky enough to do just that. My sales associate stayed within my budget and I ended up buying the first dress she suggested I try on. The dedication of Monica's bridal team amazed me. The employees were honest and were able to offer advice when it came to adding things to my dress. When I said "yes to the dress," I felt the genuine warmth from everyone in the store and truly touched. My experience at Monica's Bridal was perfect and I recommend every bride-to-be to take a trip there. I can assure you, you won't regret it!

. I felt like I was the only bride there as they made me feel special and never rushed me. From the girl at the front desk to my amazing consultant, Daisy, they have me their undivided attention and really made my bridal experience memorable. I went back today to purchase my dress with my mother and grandmother and they were so impressed with the salon and especially Daisy. She is so kind, compassionate, down to earth, knowledgable abt the pieces, and just a wonderful person. I will be recommending everyone I know planning a wedding there!

r dress.

ience and made my mother my sister and I very comfortable. Monica's is very clean and made me feel like a princess while shopping for my amazing gown!

The place itself was beautiful and had a large selection of dresses, and I was able to try on every single dress that caught my eye. Daisy allowed all of my friends to help pick out dresses for me, and she gave her opinion when asked. As soon as Daisy saw that I liked my dress, she drew up a contract for me and before I knew it, I had my wedding dress. The staff is professional and helpful and I would recommend coming here to look for dresses as they have a large selection and a knowledgable staff. They told me my dress should be ready 2-1.5 months before my wedding and that alterations will be made after it comes in. (A side note- if you want to make an appointment for Sunday, they require you to leave your credit card information in order to charge a fee if you don't come to the appointment. My credit card was not charged because I kept the appointment)

ress, got measured and ordered my wedding dress. The process was very easy. When it came to alteration the seamstress knew right away how to improve the dress to my body. I really could not be more happy with this location.

d exactly what I was looking for. The bridal salon itself is absolutely gorgeous....you really feel like a queen! I am now preparing for my final fitting, and am actually sad that my journey with Monica's Bridal is coming to a close. My experience there from start to finish was without stress and worry. They took care of everything for me and were honest too! Trying on dozens of dresses and veils can be confusing for any bride, and the staff at Monica's Bridal was helpful in the best ways. I will be sure to recommend Monica's Bridal in the future!

own and waited for a while. We were not given any updates by the receptionist as to how much longer we had to wait, and had to inquire ourselves. The atmoshpere is cold and almost snobish. I went to Kleinfeld's in NYC which is famous and has it's own show on TV, and even they were not as stuck up. Nevertheless, we figured we had nothing to loose by just looking at the dresses they had. Our consultant Margaret was very professional and we got very lucky that we were assigned to her. The dresses were very pretty and I found my wedding dress there. The price was slightly higher than at RK Bridal, but we decided to stay with the smaller salon which we were able to get more personalized attention at then RK, which is always very busy. When my wedding dress came in, I was told that I can come for a fitting, but only during the week, since they were busy on the weekends. It almost felt like, since I purchased the dress, I was no longer a priority to them. I had to leave work early so that I can fill their only available Friday 3pm slot. I decided to save money and do my alterations somewhere else. Overall my impression is that the store has pretty dresses, but the service could be better.

ut for myself. I fell in love with the decor and ambiance instantly and once I started trying on dresses I kept falling in love all over again. I must have tried on a million dresses and the sales girl was so polite and patient with me even thought I was so indecisive. I was trying on the private label gowns which is their own brand and they were so beautiful and unique. I chose different parts that I loved from each dress and combined them into one. My appointment ended off with Monica and Liliana. They take care of the custom department and custom gowns. We sat down and they explained everything to me. I choose the fabric I wanted, the beading, and all the details down to the type of closure I wanted in the back. In the end I was in control of my own dress and felt like they created for me exactly what I always dreamed of and couldn't find. My alterations were a breeze and the dress came out fitting perfectly and even better then I imagined in my head. I love the staff and everyone was so accommodating and helpful and it was just a joy to work with everyone for my special day. I really loved my dress so much that I opted to have a reception dress custom designed and made last minute! I was searching for something fun and couldn't find anything so Liliana created something so fun and unique for me just a few weeks before the big day. My guests were floored when I had a wardrobe change. It wasn't enough that I had one beautiful dress but I had two! Two for two Monica's Bridal! I will recommended everyone to you you were so great! Thank you for making me special day even more special!

care about (or even notice) were deal breakers for me, but I didn’t have the budget my taste would allow. I must have tried on 100+ gowns! When I finally found Pronovias Formentera, I seriously debated upping my budget because I just loved it. I decided to keep looking and see if I could find something cheaper. When I went to Monica’s, I told them about the dress I liked and they said they had a sample in my size and color that they were selling. I got the dress of my dreams for half price and was very happy with it. If I had just taken the gown home and never looked back, they would have gotten an A in my review. Unfortunately, I still needed alterations. I looked into getting alterations on the island because Monica’s is in Brooklyn and I didn’t want to schlep that far if I didn’t have to. Many of the salons on the island refused to alter gowns from other stores and those that would wanted a tremendous amount of money for it. So in the end, I had to go back to Monica’s (which still had a $400 cap). The girls that worked at the salon were, for the most part, obnoxious and ineffectual. Out of my three appointments, two of them were never written down. The first time they actually said I would have to reschedule, but I threw a fit because I had just driven two hours in rush hour traffic to get there. My sales consultant was the worst of them all. As I said, I was a bridal consultant, I understand wanting to go home early if you can. But I would NEVER give a bride an attitude if I couldn’t. All of the attitude and money would have been worth it if they had done a good job with the alterations! Admittedly, I brought them a $25 shrug from Forever 21 to alter and they did a good job with it (I changed the neckline, hemmed it shorter, took up the arms and got rid of the shoulder pads). But my gown was way too long. I told the seamstress that after she hemmed it the first time. She said “I don’t like when you see the bride’s feet”. Frankly, I don’t care what SHE likes, this is MY wedding! I told her to make it shorter, which she begrudgingly did. At the final I said it was still too long and she told me she would have to charge me more to hem it again. Now if I had said I liked the length at first then changed my mind, yes she would have had a right to charge me twice. But I told her from the beginning I wanted it shorter and she refused. So I didn’t pay to have a second hem and I fell during my hora, twice. My bridal attendant had to keep pinning the dress up because I kept slipping. There is no excuse for that. In addition, I told the seamstress the kind of bustle I wanted and she pinned it that way. When I got to my next appointment and tried it on, the bustle was a different style. When I asked about it she said “I didn’t like the other bustle so I did it this way”. What? Again, it’s my dress I don’t care what she likes! And the kicker was that she didn’t even call me to see if I was okay with her changing styles without even seeing it, she just went ahead and did it. To top it off, they refused to steam the train because “it will just get wrinkled anyway”. I told them there may be a few wrinkles but not the way it is now, having never been steamed. Again they told me they would only steam the train if I wanted to pay them more. Ridiculous! I had

es to track down my dress after it was ordered, which eventually arrived in time to be altered.

etimes stressful and unpleasant. Towards the middle of my wedding day, the pickups I had on my dress started to fall, the dress became too long and I had to be extremely cautious not to fall over my own two feet. However, I did receive a lot of compliments and the pictures came out great. Use at your own risk!
