Bri was so helpful from the moment we arrived. She asked questions to understand what I was looking for, but also gave great suggestions. I found the perfect dress for my day because of the time she invested in me. She was very friendly and I highly recommend NY Bride and Groom!
I had the BEST time wedding dress shopping! As someone who’s super indecisive and had no clue what I wanted, I was a little nervous going in. But the whole experience was absolutely amazing! Madison was so patient, helpful, and kind. There was zero pressure, which made it so much more enjoyable. I tried on a few styles, and just when I thought I wouldn’t know what to pick, I found "the one"! It turned out to be such a fun and relaxed experience, and I’m so happy to have said "yes" to the dress!
Such a great experience! If you have it in the budget, I highly recommend a Sunday appointment. You get to work one on one with an associate and have the store to yourself. It is so intimate and stress free as possible.
I personally liked not having to make an appointment so I was able to visit more than once on my own time. I still felt like I got all the perks of having an appointment as far as attention and assistance. They had a wide variety of dresses and I felt the alterations services were reasonable. Very professional business!
We visited this shop approximately 5 times during the process of my daughter purchasing her wedding gown. The consultant who assisted her in trying on approximately 8 dresses during her first visit was excellent. The seamstress who completed all the fittings was excellent and did excellent work. And yes, this store has an excellent selection of dress to choose from. My main reason for giving 3 stars is the very poor advice given us by the consultant who assisted my daughter when she committed to her dress and placed the order. The dress she was trying on was at least 3 sizes too big. In order to determine what size to order, the consultant measured my daughter, then brought a size 8 dress by the same designer, but not the same dress. It was still too big, and the consultant stated that according to the measurements my daughter was between a 6 and and 8. Her advice was to go with the smaller size. That should have raised huge red flags for me, but we were all caught up in the moment. When the dress arrived, we couldn't even get it zipped initially. When they did get it zipped, she couldn't breathe. They insisted they could let it out, but when we met with the seamstress, she pointed out that there was very little seam allowance. In the end, they were able to let it out just enough, but my daughter admitted to me after the wedding that she really couldn't take a deep breath. I worried throughout the fitting process that the dress would not be able to be made big enough. My daughter had to watch her weight fastidiously in the months before the wedding. The advice of that one consultant caused both my daughter and I hours of stress and worry, needlessly. My advice is YOU CAN ALWAYS TAKE AWAY FABRIC, BUT YOU CAN'T ADD IT BACK!!! This consultant bragged to us about all her years in bridal, but her advice sure didn't reflect that. I had no recourse to go back to the store about this, because they make you sign off on what your ordering. But learn from our lesson, wherever you get your dress - DON'T ORDER DOWN A SIZE!!!! And don't blindly take advice from a consultant because you believe them to be knowledgeable.
After going to several dress consultations at other stores and getting ideas of what I’m looking for, I finally said “yes” to the dress at NY Bride and Groom of Raleigh! Wendy is the absolute best consultant there is. Not only can she “read” your body like none other but she can perfectly envision your special day and your wedding dress vision and goals. She makes you feel supported and beautiful throughout the entire process and can add/takeaway to any dress to make them unique and personalized to you! She has the sweetest heart and she is so incredibly knowledgeable. I recommend any bride to go see Wendy at NY Bride and Groom!
Everything from the environment, to their professionalism, to just being a great light for a bride! There is no other place I would have dreamed of finding my dress at! And Bailey, Bre and the GM were great. I can’t believe I said yes to the so quick! But hey, when you know, you know!
My experience at NY Bride of Raleigh was more than I could have ever asked for. My sister signed me up for a “Say yes to the dress” experience which is the way to go! We got snacks, mimosas and most importantly for me the store to ourselves. Julie was incredible and so attentive. I sent in pictures of ideas I was looking at which truthfully was all over the place, yet Julie found the perfect dresses for me to try on. I also got to go around and pick my own dresses to try on. As a plus sized woman who struggles with finding things I’m comfortable in, Julie made this experience so comfortable. She was so positive but realistic which is exactly what I needed. The dress I went with was one that Julie picked out for me and the second I had it on and looked in the mirror a wash of calmness came over me…I knew. Before I even said anything Julie saw that it was the one and pulled out a vail to complete the look. Her knowledge, attentiveness, and calmness made this experience amazing. I cannot recommend Julie or NY Bride of Raleigh enough!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Lots of beautiful dresses to choose from, excellent assistance by Wendy ☺️
New York Bride & Groom of Raleigh I’d highly recommend going to!!!!
Phenomenal wide selection of styles with all sizing ranges! Shoutout to the staffing at this store, their patience and customer service plus support when I got stressed out I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
The rooms for your family and friends coming with you are super cute and private!
I’m a bride who didn’t think I’d feel anything but STRESS when it came to wedding dress shopping. Especially not being your typical sizing of a bride.
A special and well deserved shoutout to Bailey S. This woman, OMG, I can’t thank you enough for your support, guidance and helping me find confidence!!!
With All the Love,
Caitlin Manuel
Highly Recommend! Bri was amazing! She gave a wonderful tour of the shop and all the in/outs of finding your style!! She helped with selections and pulling more when I needed them. Bri made sure the dresses were fit to give the best look while trying them on!! She felt like a part of the family and made the experience phenomenal! I had been to three shops prior ranging in customer service but this was BY FAR SUPERIOR! I love the fitting rooms that have a lounge inside for family! Very intimate to showcase the dress while not having a whole store looking at you. The whole staff was very knowledgeable and VERY friendly! I felt like we all shared my vision for what dress I wanted and I ended up finding it at this shop!!! You ring a gong after finding the dress which was so neat!
Plus size selections were amazing!!
Came to this store with a friend and had an amazing experience! Wendy was so helpful and patient. They have a very wide selection of dresses and styles. It was a really special day for all of us that came!
Wendy is so professional in how she helped me pick out my dress. She listened to all my concerns and picked out a dresses that met all of my requirements I had. She helped me with and add on that I needed and she was extremely patient and did not rush me while I tried on dresses. She’s extremely respectful and honest and I appreciated her feed back and knowledge on everything we were working with as well as all the effort she put in! She definitely knows how to do her job well!
Julie is absolutely amazing. I found a gown I wanted to try on on the designers website online and Facebook messaged her store. She literally responded to me after hours (not expected as I thought they would just reply in the morning) by showing me pics of gowns like it they had in my size and offering to order my gown I wanted to try in a size I could fit in to try. She went above and beyond what I would ever have asked for or expected. She is also so sweet and kind and truly show how much she loves what she does and how happy it makes her that she gets to be a part of helping you find your perfect gown. I went to many shops before New York Bride and Groom of Raleigh, and none were as awesome or helpful as Julie and her staff. She is also very friendly and welcoming and the whole team there seems to be so cohesive and work together so well that they step in and help each other with anything in a seconds notice before even being asked. They also have so many dresses and such a wide selection. Everyone gets a private room with a little sitting area for your group and changing area for you that is private. They help you put on the dress and will happily help you with anything you need help with! They are a locally owned bridal store and truly amazing caring people.
I had the absolute best bridal experience of all here! I am a curvy bride and have been to at least 6 different bridal shops that didn’t have my size available to try on. This store has a plethora of a curvy dresses to try on and I couldn’t have found my dress here without the BEST STYLIST IN THE STORE! Her name is BAILEY and she listened to what I liked and what I didn’t, made me feel comfortable and provided pure comedy while making my experience beautiful!!! She was determined and worked hard to get the dress and accessories I desired. I love her and consider her a friend for life!!!!! Please go here FIRST and you will find the dress of your dreams plus an unforgettable experience! 😊 🤗 🥰
Professional, helpful, knowledgeable
So WOW!!!! Just WOW!!!! I have to say ….I’m a woman over 50 and walked into this gallery in tears, because of the previous shops that I have been to. I was incredibly discouraged, and felt totally deflated in the world of trying to find a wedding dress for myself. So when Bailey met me at the door and I was already in tears, she said hang on…..let me get the perfect person for you. And indeed that’s what happened… Julie (Fairy God Mother!!!!!!) helped me…..as a 55-year-old woman, trying to find a dress for myself. The experience was absolutely, incredible!!! These people are MORE than any other bridal shops you have been to. I’m here to tell you…. I was ready to just embrace a pair of shorts and a tank top, or just a silly little sundress. They made me feel amazing and beautiful and helped me pick out exactly what would fit for my body style. And then I came back with my daughter, and together, for a second time, we both experienced the same thing! Please, if you are a woman who has had this same feeling when you go into a bridal shop, please visit this amazing Bridal boutique.
Thank you, all of you! from the bottom of my heart Joannie
I stumbled upon this amazing boutique as you don’t need an appointment, and my life forever changed! While you shop you get your own bridal suite with hands on assistance. Ms. Nicki was so helpful and informative. The prices were great as well. I really recommend any future brides in the Raleigh area to check them out
What can I say…my best friend and I had the BEST experience today. Julie was AMAZING and so was the other staff. We entered the boutique with no idea of what style of dress we wanted and Julie was patience with us. She educated us on the different styles and what worked for our body type and so much more. You won’t regret visits this store. If you’re looking for a dress, this is your spot!
Julie helped make what was a potentially stressful situation fun. Plenty of room for loved ones to relax while trying on dresses and extensive collection. Would recommend this location to any future bride.
Absolutely wonderful staff! Bri and her sister was incredible. Thank you so much!!
Had a wonderful experience! Kasey was absolutely amazing to work with. She was super sweet and personable and seemed to truly understand my vision.
Wendy was absolutely amazing today. She was patient and really knew what I was looking for. I ended up saying “ YES” to the dress of my dreams.
I worked with Morgan at NYBG to get a custom suit for my wedding, and I had the best experience! It came out perfectly, and I got SO many compliments on it.
I can not express how amazing this place is. During my visit, they were super sweet and listened to what I was looking for. They have such a wide range of wedding dresses and accessories to choose from. They also don't rush you to find what you are looking for!!❤️❤️
Best Place in Raleigh to find a wedding dress! So classic and timeless! Staff is amazing and fast with fittings! They are awesome! Brie is awesome and so patient! She helped me find my dream dress! It was everything I wanted!
New York Bride and Groom was fantastic! They have a beautiful selection of dresses that I could view online through the designers websites. I took screenshots of the dresses I liked and the staff members were able to pull them for me to try on. They also provided great recommendations. They had very reasonably priced dresses as well. I went once and tried on so many dresses and there is no time limit. I went back again a second time after I had time to process everything and found my dream dress! The staff hyped me up, were so kind and made it an amazing experience. I got to ring the gong when I found my dress! I highly recommend this salon.
We cannot say enough positive things about NY Bride & Groom! My husband and I both used them for our wedding attire and had a wonderful experience. They were very kind and responsive during the wedding dress shopping process to ensure I found the perfect dress. The alterations process was seamless and they were very knowledgeable, making me feel confident in their work. My husband ordered a custom suit and the staff members were incredibly patient with our many requests and changes. We felt we had made new friends by the end of the process! It was so nice to have a one stop shop for everything. Highly recommend!
Skip David’s Bridal and make this your first stop! A wonderful experience all around. The attendants were knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. They listened to what I liked and didn’t like about each dress and would bring me more dresses to try on with different elements until I narrowed down what I liked. They helped me find the perfect dress for me! The atmosphere and setting was also very nice. They also let you and your entourage shop the racks yourselves. Would 100% recommend this bridal shop!
I had the most amazing experience today at New York Bride and Groom of Raleigh! Everyone was so welcoming, patient, and helpful! We worked one on one with Mattie and she was beyond amazing! I highly recommend New York Bride and Groom of Raleigh to any bride looking to find your dream dress!
THE BEST!! I wish I wouldn’t have even thought about looking for a dress somewhere else. I had so much fun trying on as many dresses as I wanted with my party. I was able to have them each pick several dresses for me to try on, which really elevated the experience. They also have more choices than anyone else I had seen. Highly recommend coming here for your dress shopping needs 🥰.
Amazing selection of dresses! Staff is amazing
and tentative. 100% recommended!
I had an incredible experience at NYBG. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding dress. The space was great and I loved having an intimate room for me and my guests. Jordan never rushed me and was incredibly patient as I waded through SO MANY GORGEOUS DRESSES. I struggled to chose because they had so many amazing options!!! She was so helpful with everything! Everything about my experience was amazing.
NYBG of Raleigh provided a wonderful wedding dress shopping and alterations experience! They have a HUGE selection of dresses and designers to pick from, and the staff was great to accommodate my shopping group on a busy summer Saturday. I also used NYBG alterations for the dress that I found there, and I was SO happy with the end results! My dress required hemming, a bustle for a very long train, straps shortened and brought in, waist brought in, and cups added. I was a little worried at first since the dress had a lot of beading and delicate lace in all of those areas (with crepe for the rest of the dress), but my seamstress did an absolutely amazing job. I was a bit pricey, but she clearly knew what she was doing, and I left my first fitting appointment feeling confident that she would do a good job. And she did an excellent job! Overall it was great working with this store and their entire team :)
I think like many brides, I was unsure what to expect at a bridal salon. I was extremely surprised at everything NY Bride and Groom of Raleigh offered in the best way possible! I didn’t feel pressure or rushed. I liked being able to walk in when worked for my schedule rather than scheduling an appt ahead of time. The selection is wide and there are colored tags that help you determine price point so there’s no surprises. In my first appt, I was there for over two hours trying to find the right one. The employees who work there are positive, patient and happy to work with you. I actually went to a second bridal salon “just to be sure” I had found the right one - and I couldn’t wait to leave there and go back to NYB&G! I felt listened to, cared about as a bride, and I also did alterations there which were easy to schedule and affordable. Thank you for helping me find my dream wedding dress and making it such an enjoyable experience for me, my family and my maid of honor! I recommend any of my engaged friends to go there!
This was the first and last wedding dress shop I went to. I LOVE it and would recommend it to anyone. It was the first time I had looked at anything so I had no idea what style, designer, or size I wanted. They are so welcoming and the staff is so helpful, without being over the top. Best experience I could’ve ever wished for. I found my dress and they made everything u wanted in it possible. Morgan was who assisted me throughout and we loved her help and ideas. She was professional but fun to work with! So thankful!
This was the best bridal shop I visited. I liked that appointments were not required, my guests and I could pull dresses, the 360 mirror area, and the private rooms. I hate that I did not catch the name of the consultants helping me, but they were the ultimate hype team and made me feel relaxed and confident.
I had the absolute best experience shopping for my wedding dress at NY Bride & Groom! This was the first place I went to try dresses and I was extremely nervous and unsure of what I wanted. Susie guided me through the whole process and was absolutely amazing to work with. There was no time limit and I was able to try on the same dress multiple times to help compare to others. It was a perfect experience and I found my dress!!! They have a huge selection and everyone else was super helpful too. Definitely a highlight in my wedding planning so far.
Just this past weekend we went to get my dress! They had so many designers and each one was in there own space so it’s easy to see. I knew what style of dress I wanted a head of time, but we did try a few different ones, when I was unsure of something someone was always right there to help and even bring in another dress. When we were stuck between two dresses she took us out to the mirrors and had me wear a vile and that was it! We found the dress!! They were so kind, hopefully and knowledgeable about every dress.
I had an awesome experience at New York Bride & Groom! Susie was so helpful and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. She pulled dresses that I never would have thought I liked and I ended up getting one she picked out!
I was nervously excited to go dress shopping and didn’t know what to expect or to bring. New York Bride & Groom was an incredible experience!! As soon as I walked in I felt special and important which helps when you’re making a decision & a special one as picking out your dress! Veronica was more than helpful! She was so sweet, gentle, and cared about my thoughts. She made the experience easy and was able to answer any questions or was willing to find the answer along with me. The store itself was clean and organized. The dressing rooms were spacious & comfortable! I liked the privacy the rooms offered while being in the same room as your family & friends (divided by a wall). I loved the big mirrors that were able to show the dress at every angle. The prices were very reasonable!!! I was very surprised and the dresses were in great quality! Every sample dress was clean & well taken care of as well. Amazing experience, highly recommend!!
Susie was amazing! I went from being so frustrated and in tears to finding my dress. Highly recommend working with her.
This was the absolute best experience!! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They were very accommodating to my group and helped anytime we needed something. Love how private and nice the rooms were! Overall, this was the best experience we had while dress shopping!!
If you’re thinking about coming here, don’t think anymore. I was nervous about trying on anything but as soon as I walked in I was made to feel comfortable. I was able to walk around on my own to find what I wanted while they chose for me as well. Each dress was different and unique, and the staff will not stop helping you until you have found the one (not in a pushy car salesman way, but you’ll feel like you made an appointment and you’re the only one in the store). The store layout and design of the business is pretty cool too; a cute little white dog walking around, hair ties in the front, a HUGE dressing room with no wait or appointment, and a 3 sided mirror with lighting that enhances your dress from every angle. Once you choose the one, you even get a little gift to take with you. Amazing experience. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
I came in while visiting my cousin on a whim and was BLOWN AWAY. Everyone was so helpful and encouraging. It was my first time trying on dresses and I walked out with my dress. I cannot recommend enough!
From the moment we walked in the door we were treated amazingly. Susie greeted us, gave the spiel of how they operate and from there made it a laid back experience and was very attentive. I didn’t feel pressured. I wasn’t given dresses that went against my asks. She was super supportive of the idea of what I wanted to do with the dress. I did take a couple of weeks to think on The Dress but wasn’t hounded with calls. I truly recommend this bridal shop. It was recommended to me and figured might as well check it and am so glad I did!
Madison was fantastic to work with while I looked for a wedding dress. Unlike other bridal shops I’ve been to, I felt no pressure towards buying a dress just to make a sale. The dressing room set up is really great and private unlike many bridal shops. I love that there was a large variety of larger sized dresses as well. 10/10 would recommend
Susie, Elise, and Jordan were all amazing helpers when it came to finding my dress! I had the best and most stress free experience that I possibly could’ve. I would recommend New York Bride and Groom of Raleigh to anyone who asks!
Loved my experience! The staff was so nice and there were so many options to choose from!
Discovering this store was such a blessing, I was recommended here by one of my friends who had bought their dress from NY Bride and Groom. With an extensive selection, no appointment shopping, and stress/pressure free environment it truly was the best experience I could have hoped for. Everyone is so friendly and eager to help you find your dress!
My groom even got his suit from here as well, it truly is hands down the best place to go for you wedding attire needs. I cannot sing their praises enough!
NY Bride and Groom of Raleigh was fabulous to work with! They have suites for each customer to try on dresses in rather than small fitting rooms, which made me feel much more comfortable. They had a large selection of dresses to choose from. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. After visiting another bridal store before coming here and not finding anything, I felt defeated, but I was able to find my dream dress within an hour at this store. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone trying to find their perfect dress!
The absolute best experience that I’ve had on my journey to finding “The Dress”. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the space has plenty of lighting and space and they also provide a private space for you to be with your family as you try on dresses. The staff is welcoming and kind, everyone seems happy to work there, and the owners daughter works with the establishment and greets her clients personally. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.
After extensive research on bridal shops all over the state, I chose New York Bride & Groom of Raleigh because of their extensive inventory, reasonable prices, and selection of designers- and I could not be more happy with my experience! Everyone was SO helpful, encouraging, and knowledgeable. They knew what I wanted even before I did and helped me find the perfect dress. 10/10 would recommend.
A friend told me about this bridal salon. It was the third one I went to and I found my dress! They have so many different designers and styles which is so helpful! The women who helped me were so nice and helpful. I love how did the dressing rooms are as well and how everyone helps each other out. This is a must go to for brides in the Raleigh area
As my fiancé and I came in to look for our wedding outfits, everyone was beyond helpful!! I worked with John, who was really great in helping me get fitted not only for my first suite but the one I’ll wear the day I marry the woman of my dreams!! We are so thankful for New York Bride and Groom for their help in making our special day come alive!!
This was my 9th bridal boutique visit in my yearlong quest to find the one… from high-end $5K minimum designer shops to specialty stores… and this is where I found the one! Honestly, it was the best customer service and layout experience of them all as well. No appointment needed, but you still had a team of help. You had a private dressing room but your guests were just on the other side of a short wall, so you can still chat with them and walk out to show off the dress in your private area. You can have privacy getting into the dress- no awkward stranger in there with you, but lots of help getting the right fit. The sales associates were also very knowledgeable of the inventory, so if there’s one aspect of a dress you liked they could find another for you quickly. The pricing is more affordable than many other boutiques, but there are some very high quality gowns there. All in all, a really lovely experience and I am thrilled to have said yes to the dress well under budget! They even give you a yummy smelling candle as a congrats gift for finding your dream dress.
So many choices and can fit every brides budget! They hold the dress for you until the wedding day, which was helpful for me and provide steaming so that your dress looks great!
So many beautiful dresses to choose from! The prices are great, the dresses are plenty and the bridal consultants are wonderful! I had an amazing experience here.
This place was packed with absolutely beautiful dresses ranging from all sizes, colors and styles. Everyone was so friendly to work with and made my experience worth the while. I had Keeley helping me and she was AWESOME! 10/10!!
Highly recommend for your wedding dress needs! I went on a weekday with my mom and friend and had the best experience! The staff were very helpful in finding exactly what we were looking for and adding the perfect accessories! The alterations process was so easy and the dress fit perfectly after final pick up!
