I went into RK hoping to browse and see what they had knowing well they are closing in about a month. However, my experience turned sour, although I liked many of the dresses I tried on I didn’t LOVE any of the dresses. I worked with Katie who kept repeating “I’m not a pushy saleslady I’m a stylist.” I told her I wasn’t sure and needed time to think. She kept coming back, and pressuring me saying if I didn’t make up my mind the dresses would be gone. I ended up FaceTiming my cousin in Italy for suggestions and opinions and at one point in the call she said “yes I like it” automatically Katie took it to mean that it must be a yes and started screaming yes to the dress with the rest of the salespeople I didn’t have a chance to breathe and they’re snapping photos of me. I felt so uncomfortable. Next thing you know, I’m checked out spending on a dress I do not love. I know ultimately it falls on me but it was such a jarring experience I didn’t sleep all night. I am so miserable knowing I have a dress that looks nice on me but is nothing like what I wanted nor do I love. Katie, if you read this I want you to know how pressured, uncomfortable, and awful you made me feel just to get a sale. A very expensive mistake.
Do not be afraid to go there since they announced retirement of the store!! They can still order dresses and help you with all of your dress needs!
Diana, who helped me and my mother, was amazing and literally made for this job. She listened, was attentive, charismatic and actually had so much knowledge about the dresses themselves … pointing out things I would not have thought of myself. She was also a GEM with my mother who can be a much tougher critic then I am. A true professional. The owner of the store, Candy, also made us feel so taken care of. I had tried on dresses a few weeks prior at the bridal store we’ve all seen on tv and honestly my experience here completely blew it out of the water. From the dresses to the staff it was a 10 out of 10 experience. I’m also not the most slender of women, and I felt like they had something for me and ladies of any size. I said yes to the first dress I saw before the doors even opened! Basically they made my whole day!
Cheryl was an amazing person. I truly loved working with her. She helped me feel so confident and because of her i ended up with two dresses that i never thought i would be confident enough to wear. She truly is a gem of an employee there. If i could recommend her to everyone i would. Cheryl was not pushy or rushing us. She took her time and allowed me to find the dress that i fell in love with. She was also a big hit with my mom and bridesmaids they will not stop talking about how perfect she was. Overall because of Cheryl i will say my experience was a 100 out of 10.
I initially gave this place a good review because Bianca was nice at the time of purchase. However, my experience was not as cheerful and amped up as everyone else's with the photo op/RK Backdrop. I was brushed off and directed to pay and was rushed out. I am very disappointed in my services here throughout my entire bridal experience up until my wedding day. Alterations specifically have disappointed me greatly. I was told that all the boning on my the inside of my dress was covered and that everything was perfect on my “pick up appointment.” I waited a long time to be called for nearly 2 hours and when they got to me, they rushed me in and out the room telling me everything was done and perfect. My mother and I waited tirelessly each visit, maintained a nice relationship with Free and Juan in alterations, and have even gifted them lunch. During my wedding day, 2 boning's on my dress was exposed and digging into my back and underarm the entire night. I was constantly adjusting my dress through out the night. When I got home, I noticed the 2 areas of my skin was bloody and bruised, leaving my skin scarred. My wedding date was actually 9/17/23 but I am having a difficult time changing it on here.
I had high expectations from RK Bridal as my older sister purchased her gown there when she got married in 2004. I am completely disappointed and dissatisfied with my experience.
RK Bridal did a phenomenal job helping find the dress of my dreams. I shared my pinterest board and my loose visition for what I wanted my wedding theme to be like and they found the perfect dress within my budget. They were efficient, receptive of any feedback, and were there every step of the way. I’ll always appreciate them for creating a memorable experience and smooth process ❤️
Had such a great experience shopping with RK Bridal. The woman who helped me was knowledgable and knew just what to pull for me but was also honest when I asked her opinion between several dresses and how they looked on me. Ended up getting my veil and an overskirt here as well. Also big props to Juan and the alterations team - they took a dress I felt good in and made it one I felt completely confident and beautiful in. Highly recommend.
So my experience finding a dress was wonderful! Olga is incredibly talented and kind and knows exactly what she's doing! And the floor manager is wonderful too. But one of the tailors, Manana was awful. I dreaded every fitting. She didn't listen, was rude, complained about me pointing out issues, and didn't know how to let out a dress lining, which her assistant did with ease. The owner is also not open to hearing complaints and walked away mid sentence when I was telling her about Manana, and when she returned, she didn't seem to be taking anything seriously and made excuses for Manana's behavior. So while it's a good place to get a dress, I could never recommend getting alterations done here.
I visited RK Bridal November 2023 to wedding dress shop.
PROs: They have a wide selection of gowns, many of them reasonably priced. This place could be good for your "first" appointment to learn more about which styles you like.
CONs: Our sales associate was Lali who was 15-20 minutes to our appointment... We were the first appointment of the day. She did not want to let my mom look through the racks of dresses but I insisted she walk with us. We were the ONLY appointment in the store at that time and my mom was my ONLY guest, there was no reason to make her wait in the corner while we walked around. Lali rushed us through the racks (maybe because she was late?), it felt like we were running at some points. At one point, I stopped to admire a dress I liked and she yelled "You need to follow me! You don't want those!" referring to the dresses I literally wanted to try on. When it came to actually trying the dresses on, she couldn't figure out how to turn on the lights in the fitting room. She wasn't very good at clipping me into dresses so I could see the full picture, AND she left me standing without clothes on for long periods of time while she got the next dress ready. Even if I found my dream dress (which I think I could have, if she let me look at dresses instead of making me run after her in the store), I wouldn't have trusted buying it from her because my experience was so negative.
I cannot say enough good things about Nadine. She listened to my vision and found the perfect dress for me. That in house alteration process was simple, and they held onto my dress for me until the day before the wedding knowing I didn't have space in my small NYC apartment
I was smart enough to book the earliest appointment on a week day and it was the most amazing experience. I was helped by BIANCA, she is beyond amazing!!!!! She listened to my needs and was able to get an understanding of my personality and delivered the most exceptional service ever. It’s thanks to her I have the most stunning wedding dress. I’m very self conscious about my body and she picked a dress that made me feel gorgeous. She was so positive and sweet enough to offer a pep talk to help keep my focus on me. BIANCA is a kind, beautiful person and she was a pleasure to work with.
I tried a few different bridal boutiques in New Jersey, but I didn’t like that the attendant would bring me dresses to try on because I wanted to see the options for myself. At RK Bridal, we were able to explore the showroom ourselves for a little bit before our appointment, and we could pick out dresses that I wanted to try on. After trying several dresses on, the attendant was able to then learn about my style and preferences, and then she picked out several additional dresses for me to try on. I ended up choosing a dress (Jimmie Huang) that the attendant picked out for me. I loved the dress and (all things relative) it was pretty reasonably priced. The ordering and pickup process was very smooth (1-2 months between ordering and pickup if I remember correctly).
RK Bridal was the first place I went wedding dress shopping. Bianca was my consultant and she was the best! I showed her some pictures of what I liked and she pulled so many beautiful styles, but I ended up buying the first dress I tried on! Highly recommend Bianca, she was so professional and warm and made the process so fun for me.
I also got my alterations done there and the process was so efficient and everyone was so helpful!
I had an appointment with Sheryl and she was incredibly helpful, kind, and supportive - I would recommend her to any bride! I was able to find the perfect dress very quickly but I did not feel rushed at all. The store has a great selection and I felt taken care of and valued. Thank you so much Sheryl!
I went to RK bridal for my first ever wedding dress appointment, and I did not know what to expect. All I can say is WOW! I had the best experience I could have asked for with the best staff to help me. I am extremely indecisive, but with the help of Nadine looking at my inspiration pictures, the first dress she pulled is now going to be my wedding dress! I didn't feel rushed at all and had such an amazing time that I didn't want to stop trying dresses on! I then went over to look for bridesmaid dresses, and Mary helped me pick out the perfect dresses for my girls! Thank you again RK Bridal
It is not a easy thing to putting your trust in complete strangers to be a part of your wedding journey.
However, my wedding dress was an absolute stunner, and it's clear that sheryl made the perfect choice. The impeccable fit provided by Juan made me look absolutely radiant. However, through the process I was able to exprience Joy and during each fitting because of my attendant Free.
Thank you RK Bridal for the part you played in my beautiful love story.
A friend recommended RK Bridal and then when I looked at all the good reviews, I decided it was the first place I would look for my wedding dress, however, I did not share the same experience as other customers and really wished I went somewhere else. I never write reviews but coming to RK Bridal was not a good experience for such a special occasion.
I worked with a consultant, Bianca, and she was not very friendly and seemed very uninterested from the start. When we began I showed her pictures of dresses I had in mind. She picked about 5 dresses that fit the style I had showed her. When I tried each on she didn’t offer any commentary about how I looked, how it fit, how it would pin up, nothing. My family picked out a few dresses but then after about 40 minutes the appointment was over. Maybe I had the wrong idea, but I thought the consultants were experts and would provide more input and possible options that were a little outside the box of what I was thinking. I was also not provided with any information about the purchasing process even though there was 2 dresses I really liked. I have no idea how I could purchase the dress, how many fittings there are, etc.
Save the $25 and find somewhere that will provide a warm, helpful, fun environment for your special day!
I went into my appointment to RK bridal with no idea what kind of dress I wanted and with no intention of buying one. Bianca was my consultant, she was very patient with me and asked me all the right questions and was very understanding of my tight budget. I fell in love with a dress on my second try on and the rest they say is history. Thank you so much Bianca for helping me find the perfect dress , you rock!
I went to RK to browse for a dress with no intentions of buying one…I was met by a bubbly Sheryl and we IMMEDIATELY vibed! Her service, her warmth, her overall personality was amazing. Sheryl made sure to learn the names of everyone I came with and their relationship to me which I found to be so amazingly personable. She immediately asked me my ideas, what I liked and what I didn’t like and got right to work. She brought me 10 dresses and we moved along from there. I eventually (surprisingly) found my dream dress despite being extremely picky. I honestly had no intentions of picking a dress that day and if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have. Sheryl made me so comfortable and just made me feel like I was chatting with family. I kept telling her how picky and difficult I was and she just took it in stride and worked so well with me. The rest of the staff at RK were also very hospitable and supportive. As my first (and now only) Bridal shopping appointment I was so happy with everything. The shop is clean and sleek and everyone there seems to love working there. The customer service is unmatched and just an overall amazing experience. Thank you to everyone at RK (ESPECIALLY SHERYL) for making my experience top tier!
1) Make sure to visit RK Bridal NY! 10/10
2) Bianca was and is the best consultant here! 100/100
This shop has so many dresses! Bianca was so patient with me, truly listened and paid attention to me as a whole person and what I liked/didn't like. Since I was open to suggestions, she introduced me to MY dress and the ONE I affectionately call the "Bianca". When she asked how I wanted to feel in my dress, I said whimsical, magical and romantic. The "Bianca" isn't something I would have pulled myself, but I trusted her and the process and, in the end, I found the most amazing gown and bonus, it’s within my budget! I will find another reason to wear this dress, LOL! Thank you RK Bridal and many, many thanks to Bianca!
I had a wonderful experience with RK Bridal and here’s why… I had tried on about 15 dresses by the time I met Bianca. Bianca at RK bridal is the best of the best. She is kind, sweet, and knows the dresses really well. She is encouraging when it comes to exploring styles and listens to your needs. I told Bianca my experience and what I thought I was looking for and she found THE DRESS for me. She helped me feel beautiful every step of the way. The staff in general was kind and welcoming- 95% of them, which is enough for me! Highly recommend shopping here and if you’re lucky enough to work with Bianca you will not be disappointed!
I just want to say thank you so much to Natalie.C she definitely understood the assignment and made my experience so welcoming.
If you go here to shop (which you should) you NEED to request Sheryl. I️ previously didn’t have the best bridal experiences and was very unsure of myself and my vision for the dress. Sheryl made me feel not only comfortable but confidant and like the bridal princess I️ always envisioned. My 8yo niece came with me and Sheryl was so inclusive of her and made her feel extremely special. Sheryl made my bridal experience 1000000x better. She’s like the positive (but honest) bff everyone needs when dress shopping!
I had the most fabulous experience here today. I had Olga and she was such a sweetheart. She was so knowledgeable, and she help me find the dress of my dreams. I had so much time and was not rushed at all. I had a fabulous experience!
I had a great experience with Bianca! I went in blind, and didn't have any style numbers picked to try on. I simply showed her pictures of dresses I liked and she pulled similar ones for me to try on. She was super chill and not at all pushy, which I loved. After I showed her pictures, the very first dress she pulled was the one I ended up choosing! She was super kind and warm to both me and my mom. All around, a great experience with a wonderful staff member!
Do not come to this shop if you are not intending to pick a dress that day. Once my sales rep Bianca, who was wearing slides and socks which looked sloppy, figured out I was there to just narrow down choices and try things on, it was clear she wasn't going to put any care into my experience. You need to go with style numbers already picked out so they can be pulled for you. Bianca wasn't knowledgeable of the inventory and when I asked for suggestions she had nothing or to offer, or it was clear she was just suggesting designers or dresses I'd already looked at. When looking through the inventory I asked if she knew what a certain dress looked like on the bottom (because they are bagged on the rack) and she said "google it," so I pulled out my phone and went on a wild goose chase. While my friend and I were conferring about a dress I was wearing, she rushed me out of it and hurried me into the next one. Then after only 40 minutes and rushing me through all the dresses, said I was welcome to keep looking around but if someone else came in she'd have to go help them, which was fine because she was no real help anyway. Only after it was clear there were no other immediate appointments did she let me take my time and ask if I wanted to walk over to the monitor to be able to see the back of a dress. This is clearly a place who pumps out a ton of appointments a day. If you're looking for a relaxed experience where you can really shop, don't come here! What's more, they make you pay $25 to even g
This was the first place I went to try on dresses and I was able to find the dress! We worked with Sheryl and she was absolutely amazing! From our initial conversation to her energy through the entire appointment. She made sure that everyone was heard and also made me feel super comfortable and confident. Sheryl is absolutely amazing at what she does and made sure I was able to find the exact dress and style I was looking for. I did give her a bit of challenge because I had such a short time frame but in the end I walked out with the dress that I absolutely loved. I can’t thank Sheryl and the entire staff at RK bridal for their customer service throughout the entire process. I cannot wait to wear my dress on my wedding day!
I had an amazing experience at RK Bridal thanks to Sheryl. She was so kind, knowledgable and helped me to find the perfect dress for my wedding. She went above and beyond in her customer service to ensure that I was pleased with my final choice. I am so happy that I was able to find a beautiful dress at a decent price. I highly recommend anyone looking for their wedding dress to come to this salon and ask for Sheryl. Thanks RK Bridal!
RK Bridal is a goldmine of wedding dresses. I was having a hard time going to many wedding shops in Manhattan and Brooklyn (typically smaller and boutique) unsure if a larger outfit like RK Bridal would provide the same service. They not only proved me wrong, but were the best customer service I received. Their appointment system was organized and easy to get in touch with someone either on their sales floor or in the alteration department. The owners of this shop are hands on with all of their sales and actually went and found my dress for me once I described what I was looking for. It was really nice to have a team dedicated to their dresses, designers, and customers. I also used their service for alterations for my dress and was very pleased with the results and progress made at each of my fittings. My veil was also purchased from RK Bridal as they had many options that also looked beautiful with my dress. The best part was not only did my dress arrive earlier than they said it would, the alterations were also completed earlier than anticipated! It was such a relief to have this part of wedding planning be so seamless. If you visit RK Bridal, you will walk out of there with your dream dress! Thank you RK Bridal!
Fun experience browsing the extensive selection! Was able to find a more unique dress here, just as I was looking for. Bianca was beyond sweet, calm, and supportive. She was attentive and didn't pressure me into making a decision. Thankful for my experience here!
RK boasts 1,800 wedding gowns and a 90-minute appointment yet the consultant told us there weren’t many gowns fitting my daughter's criteria which was a classic look and told us the appointment was only 45 minutes. The $25 fee is not worth it unless your lucky enough to get a knowledgeable consultant. During the initial conversation, it was clear the consultant had no idea what to pull so we had to pull gowns ourselves. After expressing our dissatisfaction, the only response from management was that the consultant was one of their top ones and to come back in with no fee (no refund for what we had already paid). So, if that was a top consultant, RK should take a look at their employees' skills. Waste of time, money, and effort to travel into NYC and pay for an appointment!
Bianca at RK bridal was absolutely a dream to work with! She was so pleasant, calm, loving and in tune with exactly what I was looking for. I ordered my bridal dress and many thanks to Bianca for all of her assistance!!
RK Bridal was recommended to me by my most fashionable friend. She had tried on a go of dresses at multiple places and bought her dress at RK Bridal. I got engaged during the pandemic, so this was the first wedding task I did in person with my mom since getting engaged. We had an appointment on a weekday at opening. There was a line waiting for opening, but the space was large enough that it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Olga whisked me around the store, pulling dresses based on my initial thoughts. Once we had 5-6 dresses pulled, she asked which dress I wanted to try first. I picked one, walked out, my mom started crying, and that was that! I tried in the test, but the first was the clear winner. Olga was a joy to work with. She provided good feedback on which dresses worked well for me, and pulled others with similar features. My dress arrived quickly and in good shape. I had a great experience at RK Bridal!
Had the best experience and found a wedding dress that I absolutely love!! My consultant Bianca was the most sweetest, helpful, personable, and was VERY PATIENT with my family and I! I know I'll love my dress forever. I recommend asking for her and come HERE for your bridal shopping experience!
When Sienna said she wanted to go with my mom to New York to find her wedding dress, I didn’t think I would be coming along but my mom had other plans! She didn’t leave my sister and I out and made sure we had THE BEST TIME IN NYC! It was the experience of a lifetime and I will never forget it.
Our mission… to find Sienna the perfect dress! The first stop was RK Bridal, a family owned bridal shop where we met Bianca. I have never met a person who knew SO MUCH about wedding gowns. She explained every detail of the dresses and even showed my sister how to walk in them and gave us a tutorial on how to bustle the dress, how to tan out the trains (which is going to help me for sure since I’m the MOH). She was lovely and my sisters and I quickly fell in love with her. Sienna tried on many dresses there and liked a few, really loved one but we knew we had an appointment next at THE Kleinfeld’s in Manhattan. We had a nice brunch and saved some energy for more shopping! We got seated and waited and waited. We weren’t allowed to browse dresses or help my sister pick anything out unlike RK’s Bridal shop who allowed us to browse the entire store. Sienna came out in the first gown which was NOTHING like the Pinterest board she sent the shop and we started to quickly miss Bianca. Although it was a beautiful dress, it wasn’t HER dress. So, I showed the sales lady a picture of her favorite dress from the previous shop so we could get SIENNA’S dress. We waited and waited and saw only a couple more dresses until sienna felt defeated and we decided to end the appointment. My heart broke for her because I knew how badly she wanted to get her dress from that store. I was so disappointed in the sales lady and the shop after sienna prepared them with an entire Pinterest board of what she wanted.
Sienna began to give up hope but I told her not to forget the dress she loved at RK Bridal and we convinced her to go back and get her dress after all she found a dress she absolutely loved there! We quickly grabbed a car and rushed back to RK’s bridal. As we ran into the store we quickly asked for Bianca, she came running out and was so HAPPY to see us back. She said, “let me get YOUR dress” and Sienna quickly put it on with the perfect veil Bianca picked out and we all agreed THAT WAS THE DRESS and she was ready to be a bride! We went to do measurements and Mr. RK Himself came out to measure her to make SURE everything was absolutely perfect for my sister. We spent the rest of the time laughing and Joking with Reed and he made sure we had extra goodies to take home with us!
We were so elated that she said YES TO THE DRESS at Mr. Reeds RK bridal shop! He left us with this gem that we will never forget. “After all, SOME good things happen in New York!”
As we were waiting for our car outside the shop, God sent my sister her affirmation that she probably really needed… another bride and her family walked in and quickly remembered us from the waiting room at Kleinfeld’s! Our families laughed and joked about how terrible the shop was and the other bride even dubbed them “Bride Jail”! That was the icing on our cake. My sister knew she made the best decision and found the ABSOLUTE perfect dress!
If you want the PERFECT DRESS WITH THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE GO TO RK BRIDAL AND FIND BIANCA!

OMG. 3rd place I went to in the city and thank god I did! Was honestly looking for dresses at higher price points but was thrilled to see the plethora of beautiful dresses at RK Bridal! Natalie was amazing, amazing doesn’t even cover it tbh, she was insanely helpful, supportive, and basically a mind reader because I was so indecisive until I found THE ONE! Which SHE picked out based on me trying on a few dresses and asking me different questions. She took a million pictures, was patient, cool, kind and all around knowledgable and experienced. I cannot recommend Natalie and RK Bridal enough! Even if you are looking for higher price points please check them out. I personally think they had more options and a better selection for plus size women. The dresses were flattering and I didn’t need to be sucked in or clipped like crazy, majority of them were almost my size (14-16)! The front desk staff was lovely as well and emailed me almost instantly with alteration details. They gave my mom, sister, and I all tote bags and overall it was a lovely experience.
First off all I have to say if you are thinking about going here do it!!! The selection of dresses they have at all different price points are amazing. Second off I would like to say if you come here ask for Bianca she was AMAZING!! She made me feel so confident and comfortable in all they dresses I tried on. She was sooooo attentive to my energy and my groups opinions. She never rushed the appointment or made me feel like I had to purchase or say yes to a dress.
I did in fact say yes to my dress and was sooooo happy. I’ve never felt more beautiful. RK Bridal was the second store I came to to go shopping and the overall experience was awesome. I would definitely recommend this store to any brides to be you won’t be disappointed.
I had an incredibly fun time shopping at RK- and I said yes to the dress! This was my fourth shop, and I frankly was starting to feel disillusioned and almost like I was being too picky. I had tried on so many dresses and kept feeling like none of them were “me.” I was nervous too, because I knew RK was a big store, and i was scared I’d feel pressured and overwhelmed. I was starting to feel like I might have to settle, but the experience was phenomenal. The store was practically empty when we went at 3:30 on a Friday, and my consultant Cheryl was AMAZING! She listened to me and totally understood my vision. She was the best hype girl, talking me up when I needed a confidence boost and helping me get out of my own way when I started to overanalyze. She stayed well within our budget and totally respected our wishes. Once I found the one, she took 1000 pics of me, my mom, and my FMIL - we had a whole photo shoot! I’d recommend RK to anyone, and ask for Cheryl!!
This was the first appointment I had out of 4 and I ended up canceling the others because I found my dress so early! They have such an amazing selection of gowns, for every style. My dress was absolutely perfect! It definitely isn’t the same atmosphere as a smaller, more boutique salon but you can’t beat the selection.
I had such an amazing experience I don’t know where to begin. First and foremost I hope everyone gets to experience having as incredible of a consultant as Sheryl. I had not tried on dresses prior and on top of that I also have a lot of body insecurities. Sheryl not only made sure I felt comfortable but brought me out of my comfort zone and convinced me to try on dresses I never would have thought looked good on me - and I ended up picking one them! RK bridal has such an incredible selection and their consultants make you feel special and beautiful. I had 3 other consultation appointments and I canceled them all. I recommend RK whole heartedly and I think a major aspect of that was also my experience with Sheryl and how confident and comfortable she made me feel. Their selection was amazing and the process was so easy. I recommend RK whole heartedly- I can’t wait for my first dress fitting !
We went to RK bridal for my sisters dress and it was the 4th bridal shop we had been too and let me tell you BIANCA is the girl you want! She was absolutely perfect at her job, I truly feel like she made the appointment perfect and literally did not expect my sister to find her dress here and Bianca made that happen. She not only was professional but she also made a point to get to know bride to be and make a connection with her, every other bridal place we’ve been to I would help adjust the dress or veil and that was not needed with Bianca, she was really such a pleasure to have durning our appointment for this special event. Thank you again Bianca!!
I have to say that RK Bridal honestly is the real deal. My consultant Bianca was AMAZING, and the store itself just really does right by its customers.
Bianca is awesome, she's so good at handling conflicting opinions and personalities and being your hype girl the entire time you're there. When I changed my mind about my dress after having put a deposit down (not the store's fault, I just genuinely pivoted on what I wanted), she called me herself to talk through it and was sooo patient and understanding when I came back in to try on dresses again and was so considerate and careful to make sure that I felt confident in my decision the second time around. The store also honored the initial discount I had gotten on the first dress I purchased, and were in general so accommodating with having me come back in again.
Honestly I'm so glad I went here, for a big store they do really treat you personably and make you feel comfortable. I'd recommend coming in on a weekday when there's fewer people shopping if you tend to get overwhelmed easily like me, but their selection is huge and if you get to work with Bianca, you'll be in super calm, capable hands :)
I had the most wonderful experience at RK, specifically with my consultant Bianca. From the moment we walked in to the celebratory photos she took of my group after I chose my dream dress, Bianca created an environment where I felt comfortable and excited to find my gown. She was just as invested as I was in making sure the gowns I tried on fit the look I was going for, sharing her insight and thoughts while giving my group and I the space to talk through what we loved and didn't love about each gown I tried on (until we all wept when I came out wearing the perfect one). The entire team at RK made the process so seamless and wonderful - I cannot say enough good things about the experience as a whole!
Truly bless this store. RK was our third store of the day and we were tired and stressed. By the time we got there, we were the only ones in the store on a Thursday evening, but they were so thrilled to have us and it was so cool having the entire store to explore. They were so patient and fun and they stayed open an extra half hour for us without even asking! I found my dream dress and I couldn't be more grateful. <3
First of all, ask for Bianca. She is an angel. She helped me find my dream dress and had the patience of a saint. After THREE bridal shops and 2 different days, she was my favorite experience and overall the best person I met during my search. She was the first person who let me and my sisters walk through the store and choose the dresses we liked first! From there, she made suggestions and chose other picks.the owner came out to help me with style and other options. Reid, you are a true hero for being the owner yet still getting your hands dirty with brides. Such a graceful pair- Bianca and Reid.
We had a 60 or 90 minute appointment and she stayed with me until the store closed. I chose my dream dress and honestly it was because I had A DREAM helper/expert with Bianca. I cannot Thank RK bridal enough!
Bianca and the whole RK Bridal team was so amazing in helping me find my dress! The shop is HUGE and I found it a little overwhelming at first, but Bianca was so supportive and helpful and honestly just an amazing hype woman! Great place to shop, especially for curvy brides and folks on a budget!
Absolutely incredible experience with Bianca. This was my 3rd shop (out of 4 scheduled appointments) over a 3 day stretch. While I fully intended on just trying on some dresses and going to my final appointment the next day before making any decisions, I cancelled my appointment at Kleinfeld the next day after finding THE dress with Bianca. My previous bridal salon experiences, while high end boutiques, felt sterile and impersonal - I left those appointments not fully in love with any dresses and not feeling overly optimistic - in some cases I even felt rushed out the door or pushed to make a decision I wasn't comfortable with. Everything changed at my appointment with Bianca - we had FUN. She patiently asked me questions to learn more about my style, was extremely warm and upbeat, and most of all patient with me. I brought only my mother to my appointments, but having Bianca there felt like having an incredible friend with you - you couldn't help but smile being in her presence. She made me feel so beautiful and special on such an important day.
Switching over to RK Bridal salon itself, I can't imagine walking in and not falling in love with a dress. Their selection is huge, the dresses are absolutely amazing, and you're able to walk the floor and pull your own dresses if you'd like. I highly recommend you check out RK Bridal and hope you are lucky enough to work with Bianca - she is truly one in a million.
Shopping for wedding dresses was a much more overwhelming experience than I anticipated. RK Bridal was my third shop, and I had come from a less than great experience that morning. I showed up nervous and a bit disillusioned, but from the moment I met my consultant Natalie, she put me at ease, got me EXCITED again, and found me MY dress!
Natalie is an absolute rockstar -- knowledgeable, kind, patient, understanding, and FUN! I truly felt like she was focused on finding the *right dress* for me. She listened to my concerns, adjusted her selections, and at one point was pulling swatches of fabric and crawling under the dress I had on to show me the different skirt coloring options.
When I found my dress, Natalie celebrated with us like she was part of our family. My mom took a photo (that I can't share until post-wedding!) of Natalie hugging me when I teared up realizing I'd found the dress! This is what you're getting at RK Bridal -- knowledgeable consultants that CARE about their brides. If you're shopping in NYC I cannot recommend RK Bridal highly enough (and request Natalie).
Absolutely worst experience with the associate Bianca, tried on 2 dressss, she told me there was nothing in my size (20) and that I should go to the place where I had tried on dresses they were nicer dresses. I wrote a review and they responded that she actually nice and some would say religious!
I went earlier in August for what I felt would be getting a “feel” for dresses I’d like in the future. In person, i did not expect to find so many dresses gorgeous just at first glance - let alone my dress! All the gratitude truly goes to Dale, who made this experience really feel special - listening to me & finding dresses that matched my keywords (and budget) as well as making sure my family was taken care of as well. Truly the absolute sweetest, most loving energy, and I can’t be more thankful for that! I found my dress and I couldn’t be happier with it or the experience. Extra shoutout to the other sweet workers there - the energy really was positive and open overall there. So Dale - thank you - I cannot wait to have my follow up fittings and I really recommend RK bridal :)
Let me start by saying I was super nervous leading up my appointment but as soon as I meet Dale she immediately made me feel at ease. Dale was super honest about my budget and wants but she swore she would find me my dress in this visit (she did!). Dale listened to all my critiques about the dresses I tried on and she brought out a dress that checked all my boxes! Seriously if you come here as for Dale, even though I only spent an hour with her by the end she felt almost like family due to how supportive and funny she was! You won’t make a mistake getting your dress here! I was even quoted a delivery date super quicker than I was expecting!
First of all the selection in this shop is amazing. Secondly the help that we had today was above and beyond! Natalie C. helped my daughter so patiently and with such caring and understanding..then went out of her way to find me the perfect mother of the bride dress...she never pressured us and took her time. The manager, Candy, was also a gem. Highly recommend them.
Had a great experience wedding dress shopping! Our stylist was Dale and she brought really positive energy to the whole process. Awesome selection of dresses and everything Dale brought me to try on was in-budget and fit the description I gave for what I wanted. Would recommend!
I had a great experience at RK and I highly recommend them to anyone in search of their wedding dress, pls work mainly with Dale. She is the best one. I was there with not a lot of expectation and she found my dress absolutely astonishing . She was so welcoming and knowledgeable and could recommend me the right dress. I am supper happy! Thanks Dale you are the best.
We were there yesterday with my daughter and Cheryl was our consultant. She was fantastic. I called several other places before RK and told them our budget. Most hung up on me. Cheryl was extremely respectful of the budget and landed on the perfect dress exactly in the budget. My daughter walked in not knowing what exactly she wanted, only knowing that she didn't want "poufy." Despite her sister and I wanting her in a dress with a bit of a pouf, Cheryl worked hard throughout the appointment to realize my daughter's vision for her wedding. After trying on a slew of dresses, my daughter walked out of the dressing room in one dress beaming. I knew when I saw her face that this was her dress and Cheryl made it happen. Thank you Cheryl for realizing my daughter's "quirky" vision and giving her a fantastic experience.
I would definitely recommend RK Bridal to anyone looking for a dress. They are respectful of all price points and really worked hard to realize the bride's vision.
Choosing RK Bridal for my wedding dress was the best decision I have made wedding planning so far. Consultant Dale made it such a fun and easy process. She listened to some of my ideas, immediately knew which dresses to pull out for me, and found the perfect one. She was very sweet and made me feel so special, as well. I am grateful to have had this experience.
An absolutely magical experience! I spoke with my stylist, Cheral, for a few minutes and she chose several dress options for me. Her expertise chose the most perfect dress and I knew it was the one the minute I tried it on.
She went above and beyond to make me feel special, took a million photos, and made the moment truly come to life.
Bianca, another RK bridal stylist was also amazing and helped me with my veil.
These ladies made me fall in love with the dress and the experience. I went home with butterflies in my stomach and I am forever grateful.
Ladies, you must work with Dale! She is an absolute pro - I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find my dream dress on a short time frame, and Dale helped me far exceed all my expectations! She has exceptional taste, listens to what you want and is a partner the whole way through. I wasn’t expecting to find a dress on my first trip to “just look” but Dale made it happen. Thank you Dale!
I had a great experience at RK and I highly recommend them to anyone in search of their wedding dress. I went here for my first time wedding dress shopping and my attendant was Olga. She was so welcoming and knowledgeable and a great listener. She encouraged me to be open minded but never steered from what I told her I liked and what she knew looked good on me. We had picked out this one beautiful dress together that I loved and tried on first. By the end of the appointment, she used the critiques I had given from the rest of the dresses I tried on to find another beautiful dress (THE one!). I wanted to go to other salons just to do my due diligence but had continued to think about those two dresses. When I came back to try them on Olga was so helpful to help me make my decision based on her expertise and her opinions and was so patient as I alternated trying them on. She also never pressured me to purchase a more expensive dress which was another positive. Overall, I'm so grateful for RK and their extremely friendly staff and huge selection of dresses and for Olga for her help and for finding the one!
I did not expect to find my dress on my first day of shopping, but thanks to Nassim at RK Bridal I fell in love with a gown and happily said yes! She was a fabulous consultant, always making sure to prioritize my voice and preferences. I communicated what I liked and she pulled dresses I had not seen before, each fitting the description in a different way. One dress she pulled I thought "no way I will like this" when I saw it on the hanger, and it ended up looking totally different on, and in fact becoming my wedding dress! Just goes to show that a real professional like Nassim knows the inventory and most importantly knows how to communicate with a bride-to-be and make her feel like the most beautiful and genuine version of herself.
I have no idea how to think RK enough for helping me find my dress and veil in no time. I came to them in February for a June wedding date and they were able to find me my perfect dress and get it two weeks later. My bridal assistant, Cheryl, was incredible. She was patient and genuinely wanted me to be happy in my dress and in my life. When it was time to find my veil, they opened the doors for me after hours and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. I love this store and its people and am so grateful for all of their help! There is a ton of selection, it's not snooty, and you will find what you want here!
