New York Bride & Groom Columbia

e.

everything was pressed and ready to wear.

beautiful and took great care of me and my “I do crew” ! They are special here. Truly a remarkable experience. Thank you so much!

the entire 2 hours I spent in the store. I returned on Monday, hoping to finally find THE DRESS, Marlene helped that day, I couldn’t find anything I truly loved after trying on approximately 12 dresses. So I got dress and we were about to walk out the dressing room, then Julie(Susie) walked in and I said I know you just got dressed but can you please just try this dress on for me, I said ughh okayyy, she PUT me in that dress and I literally FELL IN LOVE! I told her she going to have to come on wedding day to do it again! EVERYONE WAS AMAZING and I would highly recommend this store!!! Julie (Susie) THANKKKSSSSS SOOO MUCH!!!!!! ~future Mrs. Burns

eds" that I had for my ideal dress. I am such a tom boy and was pretty lost in there (they have a HUGE selection, amazing!) and Mariah went ahead and starting pulling dresses for me. I was in and out, dress ordered and happier than ever in less than 2 hours. If you are looking for a shop with unlimited options, friendly staff and a warm welcoming environment- New York Bride & Groom Columbia is the one stop shop! Thank you so much Mariah for making this experience amazing!

ting and design. Seriously, they have so many wedding dresses, you will likely find one in your desired style. I found my dress here!

feel so insanely special. I will forever speak on how wonderful my experience was. Not to mention, my dress is STUNNING. They have a huge selection of dresses, in all price ranges. Thank you, New York Bride & Groom, for making my day perfect.

ocess was straight forward and the staff was prepared in advanced for our arrivals for the fittings. The consultants and staff of New York Bride & Groom of Columbia made wedding dress shopping an enjoyable experience and I highly recommend anyone in the midlands of South Carolina to check them out.

etely opposite of that you want (like I experienced at another shop). Anna was amazing! She was so friendly and helpful. There is a very large selection of dresses, especially compared to other shops in the area. I will definitely recommend NY Bride in the future!

really important decision. I really appreciated her help and expertise. This was the first and only time I tried on wedding dresses. I’m so glad I didn’t have to go a lot of places to find the perfect one!

the most amazing combinations to really make me feel like a bride. I fell in love with a style of dress and she actually pulled a dress that was a third of my budget that I was similar that I ended up loving more and eventually choosing. Trying on the dresses could be intimate, but she couldn’t have been more professional and made me feel comfortable. In addition, the suite to try on rooms was clean and sophisticated, with plenty of room for my entourage. The selection was amazing and there were at least 20 choices for the shape I was looking for. I said yes to the dress here, and every bride in SC should too!

lpful in clipping all of the gowns I tried on and helping me envision what an altered version would look like. Julie, the manager, went above and beyond to do the same and even pinned white fabric under a tulle overlay on the dress that I said yes to, to help me get a better idea of what the dress would look like in a different color. All of the ladies at New York Bride and Groom were wonderful and provided excellent customer service. Thank you!!

en the dressing room suites were perfect! I will be telling everyone to come here!

and walked out with the perfect dress for her wedding. We are grateful for their help making selecting her dress such a wonderful experience.

to help me. My bridal consultant would disappear for long periods of time, so my maid of honor also had to start clipping me into each dress. My bridal consultant kept bringing terrible dresses, not listening to what I wanted, and then when I told her I didn’t like the dresses she brought she would respond with “but WHY?” and would defensively insist I tried them on anyways, even though I was sure I didn’t like them. When I asked her to fan the train behind my dresses so that I could see the back, she couldn’t figure out what I was asking for- my maid of honor eventually just took over that part too. If you are looking for a “say yes to the dress” experience, where your bridal consultant helps pick out dresses, helps you get in and out of them, then brings you out to the pedestal to show your friends and family- this is NOT the salon for you. We wanted to go out to lunch after finding my dress, and I didn’t want to leave the dress in the car in downtown Columbia. I asked if I could leave the dress on hold, and come back to purchase it later in the evening (my dress was an off the rack, “as-is” purchase). The associate said “yes, we close today at 7” I came back at 5:30, turns out they closed at 5. I came back AGAIN the next morning, and explained what had happened. They had already put my dress back on the rack, and not a single person apologized for the misinformation.

ce and willing to work with a budget if you have one. I will refer them to everyone I know!

ered all of my questions regarding Hank f sleeves added to the dress, let me put 2 dresses back on in order to really know which one was right and stayed after closing to let me take as many pictures of my dress as I wanted. They did not rush me at all and it was the best experience. I love the private dressing rooms and just the overall atmosphere of the store.

f you need somewhere to start dress shopping... this is the place!

for me was the first one I tried on and ended up buying!

on a different day to do the measuring and ordering process since at that point it was 7. But they stayed an extra 40 minutes after closing to get it done. Loved the entire experience and definitely felt special!!

e staff is super sweet and helpful, and my bridal attendant Melody was wonderful! I am so in love with my dress (which is a house designer only carried by NY Bride and Groom, how cool!) and cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day.

nks again! Kurt and Rod Johnson Seabrook Island, SC

ulie and she made my dreams come true, PLUS MORE! She was so patient, kind and attentive. I highly recommend them if you are looking for the full bridal experience.

ith Erin & Makayla, who are both awesome!!

erday and it was perfect. I recommend any bride to go check out the dress selection. They add a great selection for plus size brides compared to David’s Bridal only had a few in my size.

ds of dresses to choose from. There's no way you won't find your dress here!

same day so I wouldn’t have to drive back or postpone portraits! Love this place!!

e dress!

my dream dress!

y spacious, great lighting, cleaning and they have me an awesome gift. Thank you New York Bride and Groom!

hey also have a HUGE selection in a range of prices ranges which most small boutiques don’t have so finding the right dress was so easy. They pulled dresses for you as you tried on so I only looked around the store once. Shout out to Erin at the Columbia location for making my last shopping experience so amazing!!

rough the store and pick the dresses we wanted to try. Cammie was able to pull the dress of my dreams and then let us enjoy the moment as a family. It’s definitely the place to look with all of the options and for the experience!

great! I just love this place now and Erin was my consultant and she help me pick a beautiful dress for my reception. Thank you!

mom and I were there for about 2.5 hours trying on all different dresses imaginable to try to find my style. We were greeted immediately upon entering the store and shown to a suite. The suite was large enough to accommodate multiple people. Erin was my consultant. She was so patient and helpful. No matter how many dresses I asked her to pin up she had an infectious attitude the entire time. I ended up getting put in a suite in her section when I went back the second time. She even reminded me of what I though about certain dresses from my previous visit which was super helpful when the dresses were starting to run together. I can't wait to walk down the isle in the dress I picked from here!

happy with it! I would recommended NY Bride and Groom to any bride!!

of tuxedos for the groomsman and dads! Every single person that works here is beyond professional, very sweet and just all around easy to be around! Couldn’t recommend this place more!

other bridal salons.

me which rack to stay away from, which I appreciated so I didn't get my heart set on something more than I wanted to spend. Definitely recommend to anyone, extremely personalized service.

nice and helpful in lending their opinions and suggestions. I really love the staff here so it's a shame I won't have a reason to go back in again! I also got my dress altered here and the woman did a great job! I just dropped off my dress to be preserved by them as I wouldn't trust it with anyone else. Highly recommend!

ride and had an amazing experience. The young lady I believe her name was Elisa knew all the designers they had in store what silhouette would fit on my body type and even found materials that I preferred in my price range! Every dress I tried on had something I loved but I found the perfect dress and bought it! The store was beautiful and had employees beyond what any other bridal shop could offer in Columbia!!

hat a Blessing Today!

so helpful they were there every step of the way and after going to the dressing room I got to look at their rather large selection of wedding dresses. I am a curvy bride but they had tons of options for me! I was encouraged to try all kinds of dresses and to take as much time as I need! Eventually I got down to a top 4 but I knew the one. They celebrate with you! This was truly a incredible experience and memory that I will have for my wedding!!

ned!

magical. She gave me options and stayed within my budget and the gown is beautiful. I was recommended her me by a friend and I am so glad I went.

I would recommend this bridal salon to any bride. You will not be disappointed one bit!!

ry my dress on and each time they were professional and accommodating! I am so glad I chose to purchase my dress here!

without an appointment, and there was no wait. My consultant, Jojo, was simply the BEST! I waited almost 39 years to feel like I did looking in that mirror tonight, and New York Bride and Groom made that happen. Can’t wait to get married!!

e extremely nice and excited to help! My favorite part was the fact that you do not have to have an appointment, which makes it a lot more convenient. I would recommend looking here first to anyone and everyone! I absolutely love my dress and loved the experience at New York Bride & Groom!

private and personal. Jessica was my consultant and she was so sweet and helpful. I never felt pressured during the appointment! Highly recommended!!

keep reading. I had my bridal party purchase their bridesmaids dresses from New York Bride and Groom of Columbia. The 6 of them, plus me (the bride), went in together to get measured and to try on styles. They were absolutely fantastic that day! They let us try on different styles, have our own little section of the store, they measured us and wrote the recommended sizes down on a piece of paper, which they all had to initial before we left. None of us thought to take a picture of that paper or remember what size they wrote down, because they were professionals and they were taking care of it. Once the dresses came in one of my bridesmaids went to try on her dress and it was no where near close to fitting. So in a panic she went straight to an alterations shop while I called New York Bride to see what our options were. They told her to go straight to them so they could see what was going on! So she left her spot in line at the alterations shop to drive to them, just for them to say "Yea it doesn't fit." (Did they think we didn't know how to put on a dress? Is it even possible to do that wrong?) They said her only option was to order $70 of fabric and get a corset put in the back and pay $100 of alterations to get it fixed (more than the dress itself costs). Then we had to convince them to even do the alterations in house because they had stopped selling bridesmaids dresses between when we ordered them and when they arrived. So I reach out to my other bridesmaid (the one that was measured at the same time and was determined to be the same size as the one who's dress does not fit) and she said she received a size 12. We look at the dress in our hands and it is a size 8!!!!! So i call new york and ask them to read the sizes of each bridesmaid to me and off the computer it said we had 3 8's, 1 12, and 2 16's. This made no sense to me because the other bridesmaids who ordered an 8 have a B cup breast size!!! The one with trouble fitting into the dress has a Triple D cup breast size!! There is no way they would all fit into the same dress! So I ask the lady on the phone to read me the sizes on the original paper!!! And it did in fact say that she was a size 12, which is what she initialed next to!!!!!!! But, they accused her of calling up later and changing the size and "thinking she could fit into something smaller" Which there are zero phone records for. After lots of back and forth she still had to pay $75 dollars extra on alterations that were not her fault in the first place. The entire staff decided to band together. The initial girl that measured her was there and they asked her if she measured her at a size 12, and she said no it was an 8. First of all, she should be fired for poor measuring skills if she measured someone with a triple D as the same size as someone as a B and completely different body types. They refused to show us the original paper. I have never experienced such horrible of customer service. This was stressful being bridesmaids dresses, but I cannot imagine if this was someone's actual wedding dress. I highly recommend you take the time to drive to the Charlotte location. That is where I found my wedding dress and the people there are absolutely amazing.

all gorgeous. I had so much freedom to choose as many dresses as I wanted and to try them on over and over until I was so confident in my decision. I had my “yes” moment and the staff genuinely seemed just as excited for me as my family and friends were. 10/10 would recommend New York Bride and Groom to any bride with any budget!! :)

t the staff was so amazing and encouraging. They made me feel beautiful in every dress. I love not being able to make an appointment and the speedy walk in service. The various dress selection they have are gorgeous. The store itself was beautiful. Thank you for helping my day become extra special.

make my vision of a beautiful bride come true!

elf was beautiful, very spacious, well-lit, and clean. I would highly recommend this bridal shop to anyone looking for a great experience for wedding dress shopping.

first stop!!

she knew I wouldn’t like but still encouraged me to try them on. I’m one of the most indecisive people and she made the process so much easier than I thought it was going to be. I was overwhelmed when I walked in because there was so much to look at it. She started eliminating styles right away as I tried things on and really helped narrow things down. I was able to get down to 2 dresses to choose from after trying on over 10. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I traveled up from Charleston because I didn’t want to get a dress at the local bridal shops that everyone else I know did. I wanted something different and today I found it!! Thank you so much!

ecommending them! Thank you for helping me find my dream dress!

rl helping me went through the entire store looking for the same lace on another wedding dress so I could have the matching lace appliqués from another designer. It was an amazing experience and all the girls were very nice and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this to everyone! Thank you for making saying yes to my dress such an amazing experience that I’ll never forget! ❤️

l, I loved how they let me walk through all of their dresses and pull whatever I loved. The dressing rooms were spacious and private, they allowed my mom to go in with me and help me put everything on before they came in and fitted it. Erin was my consultant and she just went above and beyond. I am so thrilled and will recommend them to anyone I know getting married!
