Sorelle Bridal Salon had always been my dream salon to purchase my wedding dress from. When I took my first step into their establishment, I instantly felt welcomed. All of the sta...ff members greeted my bridal party and I as they walked past, regardless of their position within the salon, that’s something you don’t see too often!
We were due to be married in October of 2021 and we weren’t having any luck with our venue search due to the 2020 brides moving their dates, so I decided to book an appointment at Sorelle Bridal Salon in hopes to brighten my mood. We were “assigned” a woman named Marsha, Aunt Marsha to be exact and she was the sweetest woman I have ever met!! I explained to her our situation and how upset I was about this pandemic ruining everything and instead of joining my pity party, she changed the mood of the subject by introducing beautiful dresses and personal stories of her experience with brides and weddings. I was laughing and smiling the entire time and couldn’t remember why I had even been upset. I didn’t love anything I had put on until the final dress she had found. She asked me to close my eyes before looking in the mirror and she painted the most beautiful image of our wedding day in my mind, something I had never done before.. I opened my eyes and couldn’t catch my breath, tears just started rolling down my face and my now husband and I’s song came on over their speaker system. I was escorted out to the “big mirror” and was greeted by a woman named Jeanie. She was very helpful when it came to briefly discussing alterations, accessories and my dress. Jeanie floated around the room but always made sure to stop by us to make sure everything was perfect. After my decision was made, she congratulated me and we small talked about Aunt Marsha, our big day and my experience/expectations.. I thought this woman was a random employee just being nice, SHE WAS THE OWNER. For her to willingly make small talk with me, a young adult, it meant the world to me because you don’t see higher-ups taking time to get to know their customers. It was almost like it was meant to be and without the positive reinforcement from Aunt Marsha and Jeanie I wouldn’t have been excited about planning a wedding at all. Of course I said yes to my dress even though I told myself I wouldn’t cry or purchase a dress that day! From the moment Aunt Marsha appeared in front of me until my final appointment with her, I felt so important and loved by her as if I’d known her my entire life. Before I left she reminded me that it would all work out, and of course it did.
I made a second appointment with Aunt Marsha to show the mothers and sisters the options, they had no idea I had already said yes to my dress. As they watched my try on a handful of dresses one stuck with them, luckily it was the dress I had already decided on. The entire staff put on an act as if they’d never seen me before, it was great!
I made a third appointment because we moved our wedding up an entire year and I had two months to receive my dress. A receptionist, Ms. King, was able to have my dress in within 6 weeks for me to pick up, a huge weight off of my shoulders to say the least! The level of professionalism from Aunt Marsha, Jeanie and the rest of the staff was truly amazing. There was not a single detail overlooked or unaccounted for by anyone during our entire process. I received numerous compliments on my dress & a thank you card & well wishes for our perfect day from the staff!
