I’d give this 1000 stars if I could! Nicole is the absolute BEST there is. My cousin found her wedding dress when Nicole was still in the Brick location & we had a fantastic experience. I knew when it was my time I was going to her! My first appointment was in October 2022, Nicole makes you feel immediately welcomed from the moment you walk in. The new location is just absolutely stunning & it shows how much time & thought she put into creating the space! I showed her some inspo pictures of dresses & she went and picked a beautiful selection of gowns for me to try on. We laughed, we had happy tears and I found my dress! The design of the dress is Nicole’s design & I was able to take it home the same day! I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision & the entire appointment was an experience that I’ll cherish forever.
Fast forward to middle of January 2023.. after hours of starring at myself in pictures of my wedding dress & veil.. I felt like I picked the wrong veil. I reached back out to Nicole & she immediately calmed my nerves & told me to come back in to try on different veils. The first appointment I only had my mom & future mother-in-law so this time some of my bridesmaids were able to make the appointment. After trying on a handful of new veils, I ended up actually keeping the one that I originally purchased. Nicole knew I made the right choice the first time but again never made me feel rushed or pressured.
You can have a beautiful building, and gorgeous wedding dresses but Nicole is what makes the experience beyond perfect. I’d recommend anyone to go to her for wedding or prom dresses! (Wish I knew about her when I was going to prom!! Lol)
Nicole is the best! My wedding dress appointment was private and I had the whole store to myself! As I tried on the dresses I picked out myself, Nicole was quietly taking notes of things I liked and didn’t like. She then picked a dress for me, and it was the one! She knew my style better than I did just by listening and having great inventory. Nicole is so sweet and personable. She truly wants you to find “your” dress. Her customer service is excellent and I highly recommend checking out her shop if you are in need of a wedding dress!
I cannot say enough great things about this boutique, the staff and the owner Nicole. There is a reason why this boutique has been in business for 20 years. I went into my appointment with some ideas but nothing concrete and I really didn’t expect to leave with a dress, but I did! The appointment was so chill and they really created a no stress environment which helped me choose the dress. Nicole and her staff listened to my needs and helped me get the most perfect dress.
Nicole’s boutique was amazing! I purchased my dress before the pandemic hit, and during they were always available if I needed to come in for any reason!
I had most amazing experience with Nicole at Nicole’s Boutique while shopping for my wedding dress. I started shopping for my wedding dress during COVID. Not once, did she make the process feel any different than it should have, despite these crazy times. She made sure I still got the special experience I always wanted. She made my guests and I feel so comfortable the entire process (I came in multiple times and can be very needy!) Nicole is so accommodating with everything as well. You truly get a one on one experience with her. She has great taste which can help you in deciding and choosing what would look best. I could never imagine going anywhere else too my wedding dress. Thank you Nicole!!
Nicole was absolutely amazing to work, from plenty of times being a bridesmaid to now finally becoming the bride. I had ideas of what i wanted and Nicole and her employee gave me all the dresses to try on. But when i found THE DRESS, i knew it was the dress. I couldn’t be more excited to wear it on my special day. Thanks so much guys ❤️
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole’s Boutique. These ladies are so beautiful inside and out and SO NICE to everyone! They were so patient with me when I went back not once but twice to try on the same dress, and then a few months again to try on my veil with it! They truly care about each and every customer and make you feel at home. Dress shopping can be so stressful and they made it the easiest experience of possible. Huge shout out to all of them. I’m so grateful!!!! I found my dream dress all thanks to you 😘
I NEVER write bad reviews EVER. This is my first one and I just feel it’s important to let people know. I went here to look at bridal gowns. The girl working with us was very nice the whole time up until the end when I tried on my last dress. It was a dress I really liked and was considering buying but was just not 100% set on it. She told me I would have to buy it right now that I didn’t even have time to go get a drink and think about it... I couldn’t even believe she said that. I told her I couldn’t commit to the dress right this second and she walked away and never came back to us. It was extremely odd and super unprofessional. I was going to go back for my bridesmaids dresses but will not give them my business now.
I purchased my wedding dress at Nicole's and was so pleased with the service, selection and quality! Nicole and her staff are so sweet and knowledgeable! They really make you feel comfortable and help you find THE dress in a sea of dresses!
About a year away from my wedding, I decided to make an appointment at Nicole's just to "look" at dresses. Little did I know that I would be purchasing one that day. Nicole's was the first and last store that I went dress shopping at. From the moment my mom, grandma, aunt and I stepped foot into the store, we felt like family. Nicole was a total sweetheart, extremely kind, friendly and genuine. She listened to exactly what I wanted and also had great ideas and input about what would look good on me as well. She even took a dress off of the mannequin for me to try on. It was the third dress I tried and it ended up being the one. It was perfect. Nicole went above and beyond showing us different things I could do to make it more mine. Different style veils, bussel styles, adding a belt, etc. She even pulled dresses in our color scheme so I could visualize everything together. I truly had the perfect bridal experience, tears and all.
A few months later and we were back looking for bridesmaids dresses. All my girls had the same wonderful experience and they all ended up picking out the perfect dress.
After my dress came in, Nicole held onto it until right before my wedding, which was fantastic because my parents were renovating their house during this time. She also steamed and pressed it to make sure it was perfect the day of.
I got married on 10-4-19, and the day was truly perfect. I felt absolutely beautiful in my dress and my girls looked fabulous. I cannot thank Nicole enough for helping make our day truly amazing. I highly recommend any bride searching for their perfect dress to come here. You will not regret it!
I had the best experience at Nicoles Boutique! I already knew I would because I had got both my prom dresses from her years back. So I already knew how awesome she was!
But really- Nicole is just fabulous! Her energy is amazing. She really knows what she’s talking about, and she makes you feel so comfortable! And like you’ve known her for years! Her laugh is definitely contagious also! I had the pleasure of working with Nicole and Miranda! They helped me find my DREAM dress!!! Nicole was actually the one who had picked it out! I went in thinking I wanted a completely different style and she said to me, “you have to try this on!” And when I did, I didn’t want to take it off! No pressure at all to buy right then and there like other bridal boutiques. I actually came back a week later because I just couldn’t stop thinking about it and then said YES to the dress!!! Both Nicole and Miranda are so great to work with, I also got my bridesmaids dresses there... all I have to say is, stunning!!!!
Thank you Nicole and Miranda! You guys are the BEST!!❤️❤️
Nicole’s Boutique was the second place I went to look for dresses. I kinda had an idea of what I wanted to try on but once I started trying on that style I knew it wasn’t the one I should wear. I tried on probably all of the dresses in my price range. The girl that was helped me was super friendly and never seemed annoyed that I was trying on so many dresses. I never felt rushed when trying on the dresses as well. Once I found the dress, the whole process was super easy. From the moment I stepped into Nicole’s Boutique to the day I picked up my wedding dress, Nicole and her staff were so amazing! Even with all the times I came to try it on, they still were just as nice as the first time I met them. I couldn’t think of getting my dress anywhere else! Thank you so much for making my bridal dress shopping such a breeze!
My sister got her dress from Nicole's Boutique seven years ago, and I remember the experience being magical for her. When I got engaged, I knew I wanted to go as well. The experience was perfect, and I found my dream dress. I didn't feel rushed to make a decision, pushed, or pressured. Nicole and her team allowed me to take my time, and make the best decision. (i am so indecisive) It was a truly amazing experience from start to finish, and I am so happy!!
Nicole’s was the first place I visited to look at dresses and I fell in love right away with a dress that fit my personality perfectly! The employees and Nicole were the sweetest and so accommodating. I would 100% recommend them to anyone in search of the perfect wedding dress!
Nicole and her staff are hands down the most professional, respectful, and loving people to work with. They are not intrusive or rude; and they make any bride feel very comfortable. My 2 sisters and sister in law all had gotten their wedding dresses from there. It felt at home to be the last sister to get my wedding dress from nicoles. I recommend everyone to Nicole's so they can feel just as comfortable as I did.
I have only the best things to say about Nicole, her staff & the boutique! They listened to each detail of what I liked and didn’t like about wedding gowns & helped me find the perfect one so I could say YES to my beautiful dress!! They are so friendly, helpful, and awesome all around. Thank you, thank you, thank you! From buying my prom dress here 7 years ago to buying my wedding dress now, I wouldn’t recommend anyone go anywhere else 💕
Nicole's Boutique is incredible. Nicole and all her girls are so attentive, so sweet and so helpful. From the moment I walked in with some very scrambled ideas of a wedding dress, they helped to streamline my ideas and quickly found the most stunning dress (ever!). They were so patient and never made me feel rushed or pressured. They were honest, too!
My bridesmaids chose their dresses from Nicole's, also. They again were so accommodating to everyone's different personalities, needs and concerns. We had a few minor hiccups after a couple of the dresses were ordered and delivered but Nicole handled everything so professionally and graciously.
Nicole and her staff helped me and my girls feel absolutely beautiful in our dresses for my wedding day. I could never thank them enough for all of their help and guidance!
I ordered my dress from Nicole’s this week and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I had gone and tried dresses at Nicole’s the week before and Meghan helped me. She was very helpful and sweet! When I came back to order my dress the owner, Nicole, helped me and was just as wonderful! It was a great experience from start to finish! I can’t wait until my dress comes in! :)
I bought my dress from Nicole’s Boutique and all I can say is amazing things! After being to a few different shops getting disappointed because I couldn’t find the dress of my dreams I walked into Nicole’s and there were so many wonderful choices! The staff was sooo friendly and accommodating I was extremely happy and can’t wait to bring my bridesmaids back for their dresses!!! Highly recommend going to this boutique you will not be disappointed
I bought my dress from Nicole's after trying one other store and was so happy I found this store. The dresses she had were perfect and the entire staff was so accommodating and helpful throughout the whole process. No matter how many times I wanted to go in and just try on my dress, that was never an issue. Make sure you stop in here during your search, I don't believe you'll want to anywhere else.
I had an amazing experience at Nicole's Boutique. Meghan, along with the other workers were extremely nice, extremely helpful and easy to work with. I was nervous going to a bridal boutique because some can be rude and too uppidty for me.. but Nicole's was perfect. I found my dress on the 3rd dress I tried on, and was there for the amazing Bridal Sale! I got my dream dress at half the price! I would recommend Nicole's due to their professionalism, sweet workers and beautiful store!
I just ordered my dress from Nicole's today! I was very impressed with the staff and the store. Staff and owner were very nice and helpful. They really made my wedding dress shopping experience more pleasant than I ever thought it could be. They had a nice selection of dresses in different styles and were very knowledgeable about which designers would allow changes to be made to dresses. I ended up ordering a customized dress (making strapped dress strapless) and I can't wait to see my dress when it arrives!
I'll start here: don't buy your bridal gown at this store. I don't ever write reviews but this needs to be known. I initially looked at gowns here and fell in love with the 1st one I tried and I'll be honest was drawn to go back to this boutique because Nicole and her girls were very nice. So although i could've gotten my dress in many other stores, I went back to Nicole's and what a mistake that was. Once I bought my dress there I wanted to buy a beaded belt for he dress which Nicole was charging $400 for so I looked elsewhere and a woman from another boutique told me that Nicole tends to give away floor sample bridal gowns. Well when I went back the dress was not on the floor and Nicole told me that another girl I saw there had bought the dress "and decided to take the floor sample". BS- I happened to see this girl and she did not buy the dress so for $1520 Nicole was planning to give me a used worn sample dress in size 14, which I definitely am not. That explains why she didn't even measure me for my own bridal gown!! When I looked up the measurements my size was between a 8-10. So I didn't find a belt I liked as much and Nicole told us there were only 2 left of a kind and she had designed it herself-BS again because after I bought it from her for $389, I saw it in two other stores for $280. She also charged us $380 for my veil which we saw for $190 in two other stores. Nicole is a liar and her store is a rip-off. She is a good actress in pretending she cares about you and your day, but we actually overpaid $400 at her store and paid $600 in alterations that she should pay the bill for considering she did not measure me or order me the right size. She knows she was caught in this lie and truthfully I don't know how she's still in business.
Nicole's Boutique was the first Bridal Salon I went to and as soon as I walked in I felt completely comfortable. I had a great experience here. They staff is so friendly and makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I will definitely be coming back with my bridesmaids!
One and done! First and only Bridal Boutique I've ever been to. Best possible experience I could've had. Everyone was so patient and knowledgeable, laid-back and efficient. (Especially when I got my hair stuck in a lace gown.) I went in there not really having a solid idea of what I wanted or what would even look good on me and I started and ended the appointment in happy tears. Their gowns are all gorgeous but the tasteful and creative eye that these ladies had to tie the dresses together.. with the veil and added cap sleeves.. it was a dream. The whole appointment was a fairytale dream. This boutique does not disappoint! Save yourself some time and effort and just go to Nicole's Boutique!
Nicole and her staff were extremely attentive and friendly. I had been to a few shops before stopping into their boutique and it was definitely the most intimate, least overwhelming experience. They had beautiful dresses to choose from but not so many it made your head spin. Nicole made me feel comfortable and in no rush. She found the perfect combination with my belt, detachable skirt and headpiece. Even after fully paying off the dress she has been super helpful. Highly recommend.
I have been a customer of Nicole's Boutique for 10 years now-- in 2007 and 2008, I purchased prom dresses, in 2011 and 2012 my sister purchased prom dresses, and because of her wonderful store and staff, my family and I promised we would return for our bridal needs. Sure enough, come June 2017, I walked into Nicole's and was not disappointed. She and her staff provided the most excellent assistance in finding the dress of my dreams. Their patience and expertise are incomparable, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Nicole is an amazing business owner, and will go above and beyond to ensure that each and every bride or teenager headed to prom is thrilled beyond measure. I have recommended her to many friends over the years and we can all agree that Nicole's is the place to go for everything bridal and prom related.
I can't say enough about Nicoles Boutique! From the staff to the gown selection, my experiences have been exceptional. I have bought four gowns here - two prom, cocktail dress and my wedding gown!! Not to mention all of my bridesmaids purchased from here as well. The boutique is very clean and accommodating in space. They have not one, but two runways for you to walk down! The gown selection includes everything you could possibly want. The entire staff is extremely helpful and profesional. I highly recommend this boutique for any special occasion! Absolutely wonderful. You won't be disappointed!
I had 2 appointments at Nicole's around December of 2015, and worked with Nicole both times. She made the experience so pleasant and was able to recommend dresses based on features I liked/didn't like. After trying on quite a few and feeling disheartened that I still hadn't found one, Nicole and my mom ended up picking out my dress-a beautiful Sottero&Midgely with a lace back. I could hear the guests ooh-ing as I walked down the aisle.
I absolutely recommend Nicole's Boutique to anyone looking for a dress. I went there (after going 5 other places before) to look for my wedding dress and I was amazed. The girls were so knowledgeable and they really truly LISTENED. Sam was my consultant and I LOVED her. She knew exactly what I liked and didn't like in my first dress I tried on. After 2 visits (since I am extremely indecisive) I said yes to my favorite dress. I wouldn't have bought it anywhere else (even if it has been cheaper!) Nicole, the owner, was fabulous as well. I haven't met a store owner that was so involved.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR MAKING THE DAY FABULOUS!
Went to Nicole’s Boutique specifically because of the quantity of Bill Levkoff bridesmaids dresses the boutique had in stock—I loved a handful of the gowns and wanted my bridesmaids to be able to select the gowns they each felt most comfortable in so quantity of pieces to choose from within the same collection was super important to me. Pricing for these gowns was comparable to most other stores I researched in New Jersey as well. When my bridesmaids all came in to try on dresses, we had a pretty positive experience and everyone left pleased with their selection. When the gowns came in we were a bit disappointed as they all seemed to be significantly over-sized (understood that being a little big is better than being a little small, but this was more extreme than we had anticipated). Wasn’t a huge deal as all of the girls had plans for alterations but this definitely did create some extra work for our seamstresses and increase the girls’ individual costs.
Although Nicole Boutique was not the right place for me to find my dream wedding gown, I will definitely recommend them to future brides shopping for bridesmaids dresses since I was so impressed by the selection.
I got all of my prom dresses at Nicole's, so obviously it was the first place I went to for my wedding dress. Nicole remembered me and right away pulled a bunch of dresses for me to try, but insisted on the first one. The first one was the one I ended up getting! I also got all of my bridesmaid dresses from her. I told her the color I was looking for because it was very specific and she found the dress for me. Everyone commented on how beautiful all of my girls looked and how awesome the color was. I would never go anywhere else for a dress! Nicole knows what she is doing and has great things!
Nicole's was the first store I went to to look for my dress. I gave Nicole tons of pictures of different dresses that each had something I was looking for and told her I wanted my dress to have all of those things. The first dress she picked out for me ended up being my dress! She really knows her stuff. The dress was one of the most important parts of the wedding for me, and going to Nicole's was a wonderful experience and everything I hoped it would be. Also, the prices might seem high but are pretty reasonable for designer dresses.
My only regret is that I didn’t go here first! We came to Nicole’s when a friend highly recommended the shop after purchasing her wedding dress there the year before. She spoke such wonderful things, but still I was amazed by the staff, service, & selection. The service was nothing short of extraordinary. Nicole personally welcomed us upon entering her store and was there to cater to every question and concern throughout the whole process. All of the dress stores prior to visiting Nicole’s made you feel like just another one of their appointments. You were only given the thirty minutes of their time that they allotted for your appointment and seemed to forget your name as soon as they were through. Nicole and her staff truly took the time to help you find the right dress for you, no matter the amount of time in took. And when I did finally find that dress and tried it on, I couldn’t tell if the staff or my mother and grandmother were more excited for me. It was a truly beautiful dress and an even more beautiful moment that I will remember for the rest of my life. There was such sincerity in every minute I spent with the staff at Nicole’s Boutique that I question why anybody would shop anywhere else.

The day I went shopping for a wedding gown I started at a small salon far away, who's staff could have cared less that I was there and left me to fend for myself amid a sea of tulle and taffeta. After quickly leaving that bad experience, we walked into Nicole's and my day turned around entirely.
We were greeted by friendly staff who were clearly experienced and understood that this is an overwhelming day for any bride. They asked what styles I liked, colors, themes. They let me have time to look around independently but followed up to be sure I got answers to my questions. Once I selected my dresses I received the utmost attention while trying everything on-- I got that true "bridal gown shopping" experience you see on TV.
Although I ended up falling in love with the first gown I set eyes on when I walked in, Nicole and her staff allowed me ample time to try on anything I wanted multiple times. They were patient, kind, and fun. No one tried to talk us into a sale or spending any certain amount. They simply let me find what I loved and let me make my own decisions.
Throughout the process of ordering, fitting, and steaming the dress right before the wedding, Nicole and her staff were amazing. We also chose to order bridesmaids dresses through them since we had such a wonderful experience and they offer a discount on bridal party gowns if you purchase your bridal gown with them. While they do not do alterations on site they have several fantastic tailors they recommend and truly care to see that you have a great experience overall.
I am so happy we chose Nicole's!
Could not say enough about how kind and wonderful the staff is at Nicole's Boutique. I went to David's Bridal initially with high hopes, but I've seen so many of the dresses (bridesmaids dresses included) before and I was really not sure of exactly what I wanted. At David's, I kept getting handed dresses that didn't fit with my do's/dont's of my ideas. At Nicole's, I was given 3 dresses to start and from there I gave what I liked about each and what I didn't like, and the staff really listened and I was handed what turned out to be "the" dress before I knew it. So amazing. Highly recommend this boutique.
I purchased my senior prom dress from Nicole way back when, so I knew when I got engaged that Nicole's was the first place I was going to try on Wedding dresses. She has gorgeous dresses for a modest budget and her personalized service is out of this world! I felt like a princess!
Great customer service and great bridesmaid gown selection.
Love, love, love Nicole's Boutique. I ended up getting a Maggie Sottero dress that I fell in love with. Nicole is not only a great owner, but she has a fantastic sense of style for special events.
Thank you for making me feel like a rock star on my wedding day!
Very Friendly and knowledgable staff, Very up to date with the latest styles etc! GREAT SHOP!!
I bought my Maggie Sottero dress at Nicole's and I could not have been happier with the level of service I received. My dress was amazing and it was so nicely pressed for the wedding. Thank you!
My bridesmaids got their dresses from Nicole's. Nicole and her staff like to order everyone a size up from what they really are, which ends up costing everyone more money in the end for alterations. The places she recommends for alterations charge an arm and a leg for the same work a local cleaner can do. One of my bridesmaids questioned her about the size Nicole had ordered, she was assured it would fit. When the dress came in it was SWIMMING on her. Nicole and her staff proceeded to come up with a variety of lies about why that size was ordered--including saying that I was the one that told her to order that. I had no involvement in this as I would never recommend what size any of my girls get. This is not the first time I've heard people complain about the dresses being ordered too big. It seems to happen more than it should. Her bridesmaid selection isn't different from what other places carry so I would just be careful about what size she orders you and don't go by her judgement because she doesn't even take a tape measure out.
Before going to Nicole's I had been to 2 other bridal boutiques. I liked the other dresses, but I was looking for something I LOVED. I knew I was going to like this place because when I called there I asked about specific Maggie Sottero dresses. Nicole knew exactly what dresses she had, and if she didn't carry the specific dress which dress was similar in fit and style without even checking a computer... she is very knowledgable about her inventory. When I first saw Nicole's Boutique, I wasn't sure about it simply because there were prom dresses in the window. Do NOT judge this book by its cover!! Once you get to the back of the store, there is a beautiful selection of wedding and bridesmaid dresses just waiting for you. Nicole has not only a platform but a huge runway set up so you can see every inch of your dress in the mirror. Plus, back in the dressing rooms she has recess lighting so you can see how your dress will look at a night ceremony/ reception. When I walked in I was greeted by both Nicole and Katie. I told them what I was looking for and they told me to go through and pick out dresses I liked, plus they would go through them as well picking out dresses I described to them. They were both very helpful. I ended up finding my dress that night, and just when I thought I couldn't love my dress more, Nicole showed it to me in the recess lighting (GORGEOUS). Throughout the following 8 months, Nicole would keep in touch with me. She would let me know things like when they started making my dress, and when they shipped my dress. Anytime I called with a question she knew exactly who I was, and what dress I had ordered without even looking up anything in a computer. Once my dress was in she sent me to a seamstress she works with, Tara. Tara works out of her home, and she is very experienced and has worked on most of the dresses Nicole's Boutique carries. My dress came out beautifully, fit like a glove! I could not have asked for a better experience. Nicole made it an enjoyable experience for me. She is not only a business woman and a professional, but she is also one of the nicest people I have ever met. I loved her and her boutique so much that I actually sent my future sister-in-law to her, and she found her dream dress there as well. Just goes to show, if you want to find a dress with the "WOW" factor, Nicole's Boutique is where you want to go!!
I found a beautiful dress online and the only store between NJ, NY, PA & CT that had this dress was Nicole's Boutique. I drove an hour from my home to go to this store and ended finding a dress I loved even more. They were SO nice and I got individual attention. I never felt that they were just trying to get me to buy something and they were so attentive. I even got a congratulations card from the girl who helped me with a swatch of my dress color. They also offer to steam the dress for free before the wedding. They are truly wonderful!!
