Unfortunately found this experience to be fairly frustrating. The initial experience is great, the consultants are helpful and not pushy. No appts needed and you can try on as many...
dresses as you want. I was able to call and order my dress over the phone at a later date after having some time to think about it. I wanted to add buttons down the back so we had to calculate how many buttons I needed to order from the designer so they match my dress. I did the math and told them how many buttons I wanted based on the length of the train, and there was quite a bit of back and forth on them disagreeing with my math, which after many explanations, they concluded my math was right but the tone of the stylist got pretty condescending toward me before they realized their math was incorrect, The dress also ended up being significantly more expensive than advertised. The store canāt help fees and tariffs from designers but there should be more transparency up front about these as my dress was double the cost.Ā
I used their recommended in-house seamstress, which I believe they have now parted ways with, and would not recommend using them. They were insanely expensive compared to other local seamstresses and I had MANY issues with them making adjustments that they said they wouldnāt do. The store also handled payments for the seamstress and every time I went in, they claimed I still owed them for things that I had already paid for and had on my receipts as paid. I had 5 total fittings due to all the issues I had. As an out of town bride, this took MONTHS and lots of unplanned trips. I wonāt go in to more details on what all went wrong but please shop around to other seamstresses as my dress ended up looking way different than it was supposed to after they tried to fix all the things that were done wrong.
NYB&G was so accommodating on the day of selecting my dress, and was very streamlined through the process of ordering, when my dress arrived, and throughout alterations. They store...
d my dress from arrival all the way through when my alterations were completed. The alterations were beautifully done. Overall a very positive experience!
Everyone was friendly and nice. I found my dream dress here. My husband also had a good experience throughout getting his tux from here to start to finish.
I had not heard of NY Bride & Groom before, but now I will be highly recommending them to everyone! I came in looking to try on one particular dress they had in store, and the staf...
f was so welcoming and kind to me. I ended up saying yes to it and I am so glad I found them! You can tell the entire staff are knowledgeable and I really loved how the rooms were more private, rather than all brides having to stand in the same room/mirror (although there is still a large mirror to use). They made me feel so confident in my dress and were great to work with throughout the process!
Perfect experience!! Found my perfect dress š„°
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 becau...

y 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 wouldnāt know what to pick, I found "the one"! It turned out to be such a fun and relaxed experience, and Iām 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 s...

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 durin...
g 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 Iām looking for, I finally said āyesā to the dress at NY Bride and Groom of Raleigh! Wendy is t...
he absolute best consultant there is. Not only can she āreadā 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 canāt believe I said yes to the so quick! But hey, when you know, you know!

, 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 Iām 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 meā¦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 āŗļø

ce and customer service plus support when I got stressed out I couldnāt have asked for a better experience.
The rooms for your family and friends coming with you are super cute and private!
Iām a bride who didnāt think Iād 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 canāt thank you enough for your support, guidance and helping me find confidence!!!
With All the Love,

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!!

Sheās 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 expec...
ted 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 didnāt have my size available to try on. This stor...
e has a plethora of a curvy dresses to try on and I couldnāt 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 didnāt, 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! š š¤ š„°
Professional, helpful, knowledgeable
So WOW!!!! Just WOW!!!! I have to say ā¦.Iām 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 onā¦..let me get the perfect person for you. And indeed thatās what happened⦠Julie (Fairy God Mother!!!!!!) helped meā¦..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. Iām here to tell youā¦. 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

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 :)

idnāt 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 thereās 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 ājust to be sureā I had found the right one - and I couldnāt 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!

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.

nd 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 youāll feel like you made an appointment and youāre 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.
