Had a great experience here this last weekend. One, they have an amazing selection of BEAUTIFUL dresses for being a smaller salon (a huge plus was the intimacy of the appointment with it only being myself and my mom and nana). Also after I started branching out on styles they ended up picking THE PERFECT dress for me. It was nothing I would’ve picked myself but based on my comments they knew it’d be a winner. I was sold almost immediately. Two, if you want an AMAZING dress for a lower cost. Check them out! They also recommended a tailor that I was able to get into right away which was a huge relief even though my dress doesn’t need my alterations. Wonderful experience.

I recently bought my dress from Sample and Soirée with the store manager Ali’s help. She was amazing and gave excellent advice about all things wedding related. My mom also got her dress here and we are so happy for the expertise that Ali provided.

What a wonderful experience! The owner who helped me with my appointment was kind, respectful, helpful, and beyond knowledgeable. She was upfront about price and helped me find out what I really liked and didn't like about each dress to land me on my final pick!
The dresses were also so beautiful. It was a pleasant change from the standard things I saw at Davids Bridal. These dresses were unique and made with high craftsmanship.

I had the best experience finding my wedding dress. I went in not knowing what I had in mind and the woman that helped me was incredible!

Wonderful experience! I walked in not fully aware that this was a sample store, so I didn't have the family there with me that I would have originally planned on. I feel head over heels in love with a dress and just couldn't walk away without taking it home. Ali took the time to help me come up with alternatives that allowed me to include the rest of my family in the "yes to the dress experience" later on down the road. Not to mention, I was able to get a brand new designer dress for a half the price! She sends you on your way with the name of a seamstress who is experienced in working with certain types of gowns. I left the store with not only the biggest smile, but also the biggest sense of relief!

Had a great experience! You can only bring 4 people with you which is not always ideal, but I understand why because the shop is smaller. The ladies who work there were super helpful and amazing the whole shopping process!

Ali was fantastic to work with. I approached wedding dress shopping with a tight budget in mind, and she was very easily able to accommodate it!
When my family and I arrived at the store, Ali took the time to look through some dress pictures I had collected and recommend that I try on a few that matched my vision. Their dress selection was fantastic, and the dress I took home is even more beautiful than I could have imagined.
My sister even said she looks forward to shopping at Sample and Soirée when she gets engaged!

I need to start by saying Ali is literally amazing! She made my experience go better than I could have ever dreamt. Ali went above and beyond to ensure that I found thee dress that made me feel like a princess. Ali is not only knowledgeable about all the dresses they have, the designers they partner with, veils they carry, etc.; she also has the knack for making the entourage feel just as comfortable and excited as the bride-to-be! I know some people may be skeptical about buying samples but the samples here are well taken care of and do not have stains or tears. Though, it is also important that everyone know you may find a style that can still be ordered new too - I decided to order new with mine just so I could add a longer train. If I could redo my dress shopping experience I would not go anywhere but Sample and Soiree. Hands down, Sample and Soiree has the most caring team and a very accommodating owner.

I had the best appointment yesterday! The ladies at the salon were so patient and helpful. I got to try on almost every style of dress in my price range to truly see what would be the best fit for me. They were not pushy for sales in any way, but I did find my dream dress! I also got to try on a variety of accessories and veils, again with no expectations of purchasing. When I purchased my dress, they wrote down the specific style of veil and jewelry that I liked, so I know what to look for when I go to shop for accessories! And, probably the most exciting part, I got the most beautiful designer dress that originally retailed for over $3,300 for just over $500. I would recommend this store to everyone!

I had a marvelous time looking at sample gowns at Sample and Soiree. Ali was amazing and super helpful. It is a definite must to see if you can find a sample dress you love. The dresses were all beautiful and well taken care of. They also have amazing customer service and even sent emails after the visit ensuring that I had a top-notch experience and offered further help with any other needs concerning my dress.
