I had the greatest experience wedding dress shopping at Tamzen. It was such a great experience that my sister went there for her dress a few months later! I love that you get a pri...
vate experience and it's not in a busy shop. The employees did a fantastic job with listening to my comments about various dresses and adjusting their picks. They ended up finding a dress for me that I never would have picked but fell in love with! If I could go back in time, I would pick them over and over again!
Get your dress here!! The experience I had with Tamzen was so magical and personal! There was absolutely no rush, no pressure, and was a very personalized one on one experience!
I absolutely loved working with Tamzen's Bridal for my upcoming wedding. Tamzen and Elizabeth were so sweet and helped me to find the perfect dress. I felt right at home and couldn...
't imagine myself getting my dress from anywhere else. Growing up, my mom and I used to wait for Tamzen's Bridal to change their dresses and point out which ones we would try on. I knew once I got engaged that Tamzen's would be where I would go for my dress. It felt like a full circle moment. I highly recommend going there for your wedding dress, it makes for an amazing experience!
The communication with this company was not the greatest. Beautiful dresses but I was not told that my dress was possibly not going to be made until I kept calling about it. The ow...
ner did call me finally to discuss and the dress did finally come in. There was an excuse that the designer was not able to finish my dress and they didn’t want to tell me until we were getting closer to crunch time. All in all it was ok and I ended up getting my dress.
Tamzen is amazing! She will help you find the dress of your dreams - plus all the accessories you could ever want! Her inventory is beautiful, prices are great and her experience i...
n the bridal industry is unmatched! We also purchased our flower girl dress and all of the guys suits - they all came out amazing and the perfect size, even though our groomsmen were unable to stop by in store before the wedding for sizing. Tamzen was so accommodating to us and we couldn’t be more thankful. She was available via text and call on many stressful nights. I cannot speak higher of Tamzen and her staff at Tamzen Bridal in Carlisle.
Best experience!! Tamzen and all the other employees are so nice, helpful and encouraging. It's appointment only, which makes your experience so individualized and personal. Price...

I said yes to the dress at Tamzen's and I could not have asked for a better place!! Picking out a dress with my group was SO fun, and they have a wide selection of breathe-taking d...
resses. They really made the entire process so smooth and fun and enjoyable. I will forever recommend this place to future brides! Thank you!!
I was really anxious about dress shopping. My friend recommended Tamzen’s and it was the BEST experience. Tamzen was so easy to talk to and work with, and she really worked to unde...
rstand my needs as a bride. Her sample dresses were a wide size range making it easy to try on lots of gowns. She was so lovely to work with and turned an experience I was really nervous about into a wonderful memory. I found my perfect dress at her shop and would 1000% go back again. Thank you for everything Tamzen!
Tamzen & her team were wonderful to work with. They had a positive attitude during my appointment to pick out my dress and when I went to pick it up. They also listened to what I w...

I highly recommend Tamzen’s Bridal at Butler Manor if you are in need of a wedding dress.

s shopping experience was fun. I really liked the online portal that I used in advance to review dresses, it really simplified things. I highly recommend going to Tamzen’s Bridal. I couldn’t be happier with my experience buying my wedding dress at Tamzen’s Bridal. Thank you Tamzen!!
Tamzen's Bridal made the dress finding process super simple. I was able to pick out dresses that I liked online through their portal prior to my appointment and they had them lined...
up and ready to try on when I got there. They provided expert help and suggestions. They are super friendly and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. Overall it was a great experience.
Don't go anywhere else because this is the place! Once you make a bridal appointment they send you a link to create an account on their website. Once you create an account it gives...
you an option for a Look Book. This allows you to go through ALL the dresses they have in stock and favorite them. Then the day of your appointment all your favorited dress are already pulled when you get there. It saves SO much time and allows you to just jump right into your appointment. They allow mimosas and Tamzen is AMAZING. She is so friendly and gives great advice. And when you do pick your dress she's so happy for you and goes into great detail about how to preserve your dress too. Please just go here!
Tamzen's Bridal was fantastic! I called the owner the night before coming in back in October 2021 and she was able to squeeze me in for a Saturday 10 AM appointment. I came in by m...
yself and Tamzen helped me pick out dresses based off of what I had in mind, assisted me while getting into each one and helped me say yes to the dress! The dress fit me like a glove and I received so many compliments this past weekend at my wedding. Highly recommend Tamzen's Bridal!
Tamzen and Britt are absolutely fantastic! They helped me find the perfect wedding dress for my special day and never pressured me into a sale. As a matter of fact when Britt saw I...
was overwhelmed she told me to go home, think about it, and make another appointment in a week or so. I did and it was much better. We also got the Mother of the Groom dress here and all the suits for the Groomsmen, Bridesmen, and my bridesperson. I have a dear friend who came out as non-binary and preferred to wear a suit. Tamzen didn't even flinch and when my friend told Tamzen this would be their first suit she hugged my friend and was so happy for them. Just an extra touch of wonderful. Thank you for everything!
I am so beyond happy with choosing Tamzen’s Bridal at Butler Manor for my wedding gown. They were SO helpful and fantastic to work with. You are the only bride in the shop so you t...
ruly feel catered to. When I put on my first gown I immediately fell in love. I still tried on more but I kept going back to the first one, which I ended up saying “yes” to! I would 100% recommend getting your wedding gown with Tamzen’s Bridal, you won’t be disappointed.
Tamzen's is such a great bridal shop! Tamzen and Britt are both SO helpful, honest, and caring. They have a great selection of dresses, veils, and accessories, as well as a helpful...

ll of the pieces that I liked from each dress and helped me find the PERFECT one. They were so helpful, patient, and not pushy at all! My now husband also chose to go with Tamzens for his men’s ware and he was not the most organized with everything.. Tamzen took every phone call and did every re-measure he needed as we rescheduled our wedding multiple times due to COVID. I can’t imagine our day without Tamzens!
I bought my wedding dress from here and let me just say, this has been the best experience! I had gone to 4 other bridal salons and no one made me feel as comfortable and at ease a...
s I did here! They truly want to help you find the best gown and will help you visualize all aspects of your look from your veil to your earrings! It’s truly a personal, one on one experience that will help ease any stress you may have! Thank you!
Tamzen's Bridal was my first stop in looking for wedding dresses. I was nervous and had a vague idea, at best, of what I was looking forward. Brittany was professional, warm, and...
very knowledgeable. In the end, we found a dress that was very much me, exceeded expectations, and was in my (tighter) price range. I would highly recommend Tamzen's Bridal. At Tamzen's you'll feel more like you're on an outing with girlfriends, then under pressure to find the perfect dress.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Brit, Tamzen, and the shop’s collection of dresses. I was very wary of wedding dress shopping in the beginning as I thought it could ...
be frustrating or overwhelming BUT my whole experience was different at Tamzens. When I first went shopping I didn’t find “the one” but they encouraged me to check out the Herve collection when it arrived in stock at their store (they are the only store in the US with this collection). Tamzen kept in touch with me and was timely in setting up an appointment when they arrived (she texted me the day they arrived and sent me photos of the dresses I was anticipating the most). I ended up choosing a dress that I am so in love with and cannot wait to wear for my September wedding. These ladies truly made me feel so special and are incredible at listening to what you *think* you want and infusing their expertise. I will forever sing their praises!!!
Tamzen bridal was AMAZING from start to finish! They provided me with an online “look book” to identify dresses that I loved. When I arrived, they were already pulled. She made m...
e feel so comfortable and listened to my concerns and gave great advice throughout the entire appointment. She pulled other dresses based off my comments while trying on dresses. This was the first dress shop that actually made me feel welcome and excited to dress shop. It was a beautiful shop with a wonderful owner! Highly recommend!!
This was the most amazing experience. We had shopped at two other places but this place truly catered to the bride (my daughter). They have just you in the whole place! So amazing!...
Brit...ask for Brit! She had the most encouraging words & can take any dress...too large or too small & make you see the vision. So gifted at her job. My daughter said yes to the perfect dress!
So glad I scheduled my first bridal appointment here. Very attentive, educational, and fun!
I cannot say enough good things about Tamzen's bridal! Tamzen herself was absolutely fantastic! She made my dress shopping experience so exciting. She was such a sweet, kind-hearte...

Tamzen is the best there is! The moment I met her I could tell she was someone who knew bridal gowns and the bridal industry very well. She knew exactly which gowns would look am...
azing on me, and she was the one who ended up picking out "the dress" after realizing the ones I was picking just weren't right for my body type. She made me feel very comfortable with her warm and genuine personality. She basically treated me as if I was HER daughter getting married! I can be very indecisive (and it didn't help that she has sooooo many beautiful dresses to choose from), so when I finally had it narrowed down to three dresses, she guided me to the right one by giving me things to think about that other places didn't, like what alterations would be needed and how that would affect the overall look and cost of the dress. Again, she really knows her stuff, and that is exactly the type of consultant you need when making such an important purchase. She gives you her complete and undivided attention, and she will not pressure you into anything just so she can "make a sale". She truly cares about her clients and making sure they walk out of her shop feeling valued and beautiful. The dress I ordered came very quickly - about 2 months - and it was exactly as I ordered. I thought finding and ordering a dress would be one the most stressful things about my wedding, but it turned out to be the easiest because of Tamzen's outstanding professionalism. I cannot say enough nice things about her and her staff, and I highly recommend anyone getting married to see Tamzen and only Tamzen. You won't need to go anywhere else - trust me.
Tamzen's Bridal was amazing! I had a hard time finding gowns that made me feel beautiful in them. As soon as I walked in the doors Tammy welcomed me and told me "I got you girl". ...
She sure did! I am a curvy bride and would recommend Tamzen's in a heartbeat!
She made getting ready for my big day so special! From helping me pick out the perfect dress to my bridesmaids I would recommend her to anyone and would def use her again!

Tamzen is the sweetest!! We met Tamzen through a personal connection and we are so grateful! We had a vision for all of our bridesmaids to be in different styled dresses in varyi...
ng jewel toned colors the only similarity was that they would be long. We came in on our first appointment with all 4 bridesmaids not expecting to make any decisions, just to start the process, but we ended up finding all of their dresses right there within our one and a half hour appointment! We were pleasantly surprised and honestly it still shocks me with how simple and easy that process was! She had such great variety and so many options that are very reasonably priced.
We had such a great experience that one of my bridesmaids ended up getting engaged during our planning process and was able to use Tamzen for her bridal gown!
Thank you so much for all of your help and being such a special part of one of the best days of our lives!
Tamzen and her team are wonderful and always going above and beyond to make sure your desires for a dress are honored.
Tamzen’s was the best decision I could have made for my dresses and suits for my wedding day! Tamzen was a dream from the beginning.. personalizes appointments, no rushing, and hon...
est, professional guidance and opinions. She made trying on dresses so much fun! She also gives a preferred list for alterations which was such a big help. They also offer a ton of jewelry and other accessories! She was super helpful in scheduling multiple appointments for the groom and groomsmen to get in for fittings and pick ups. They are all wonderful and super accommodating to your needs. I would recommend all brides see Tamzen for their big day!
Thank you!!!
Where do I start, Tammy is awesome. When you enter the salon, you are greeted warmly, then you get a tour and Tammy asks what You want in a dress, she pulls some, you pull some. T...
hen the fun of trying on dresses, she will continue to listen to the I like this, I dont like this. Until you find the perfect dress. I was a little hesitant since I am tall and the dress I tried on was tight in the arms, there was NO pressure to purchase that day, but she assured me that once ordered the arms area would be fine (halter dress Stella 6553). I did go ahead and order it and I could not have been happier. We also purchased my bridesmaid dresses there and again, she listened to what I wanted and what the girls were comfortable in.
I LOVED Tamzen's Bridal!! Both my MOH & another bridesmaid got their dresses from Tamzen's and raved about them and their service, so naturally they were my first choice and I coul...
dn't have agreed with them more.
I was able to bring my 3 bridesmaids (as 1 lived out of town) and my mom and we had the place completely to ourselves. I was able to try on many many dresses and they were great with helping me realize exactly what I was looking for (as I wasn't 100% sure ahead of time, only had a general idea). When I found THE dress, they even changed the lighting to reception lighting and I fell even more in love.
When I picked up my dress, Tamzen (the owner) checked in with me about how my planning was going. I expressed some struggles finding hair/makeup and she wrote down some places for me to try - I was THRILLED with how helpful she was and how much she seemed to care. I HIGHLY recommend Tamzen's bridal to EVERY bride to be
I found the most gorgeous wedding dress here. they employees were so kind and accommodating. They provided input on a dress when asked, the recommended a seamstress etc.
Tamzen’s Bridal gave me the dream wedding dress shopping experience you imagine since you’re little. I was so nervous about trying on dresses but the experience was great, I found ...
multiple amazing dresses, and they helped me to figure out the perfect one to say yes to! I love the private & personal experience at Tamzen’s, which is a very unique thing you don’t get with many bridal shops. Overall I had an amazing day & I would tell everyone to check them out! 💍💕
Tamzen's was the first bridal shop that I stepped into after getting engaged and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was extremely nervous about trying wedding dresses...
on and did zero research as to what kind of dress I may want. Tamzen was amazingly knowledgeable, friendly, kind and helpful. She really made me feel like a beautiful queen.
After I left Tamzen's after my first visit, I went to a few other places where the salespeople did not make me feel beautiful and that was not a good feeling at all. I then made another appointment at Tamzen's to re-try on a dress.
I ended up buying the very first dress that I tried on - which I think Tamzen actually picked out for me! She was so helpful and reassuring through the whole process. If I could give more than 5 stars for Tamzen and her staff, I would. They are the best!
Tamzen is so knowledgeable about all things wedding fashion and helped me pick and feel comfortable in the perfect dress, but even more than that, she is personal and relational. I...
wish I had another reason to go visit her! Absolutely phenomenal service in the cutest shop ever!
Tamzen is so wonderful. Out of all of the boutiques I visited, I felt most comfortable here. I knew I wanted to buy my dress here the moment I walked in because the atmosphere was ...
so laid back and welcoming. There was no pressure and Tamzen made it easy to find the perfect dress. There are dresses in stock for all price points. I highly recommend for anyone in the central PA area!
Tamzen's Bridal was my first and only stop when shopping for dresses! Tamzen and her staff made me feel comfortable and not overwhelmed throughout the entire process. She also help...
ed me branch into styles outside of my comfort zone and ultimately helped me decide on my perfect Essence of Australia dress! I highly recommend making Tamzen's Bridal a stop when wedding dress shopping! They are absolutely wonderful and I can't thank them enough.
My experience at Tamzen's was the best! I went to the appointment with my mom and we had a great time and excellent service. I unfortunately didn't buy my dress there because I was...
unable to really visualize myself wearing the dress without being able to put it on fully (the size was too small and I couldn't get it over my chest). I do, however, intend to get my bridesmaid dresses here because of how wonderful my overall experience was.
Amazing experience from the initial contact! I needed something off the rack, as I was only a few months away from my wedding and Tamzen was awesome! I was only in town briefly, as...
I live in Chicago, and she fit me into her schedule with short notice! She was patient and helped me find the perfect dress for my wedding! I have since gone back to purchase some accessories and she remembered who I was, which meant a lot. I HIGHLY recommend Tamzen's Bridal!
I had to take my daughter in to find a specific designer for my sons out of state wedding.. Tammy the owner was so helpful and nice.. The atmosphere was relaxed which was so needed...
.. I was so impressed even after telling her I wasn't sure about ordering the dress there because my future daughter in law wanted them to be ordered together.. She explained the process and also offered (with receipt) to match any price or sale discount we were offered.. She has that small town feel with a personal touch.. I will refer everyone I know to her for all their Bridal or formal needs.. Defiantly someone I would give my business to in the future..
Absolutely amazing experience with Tamzen's Bridal! After spending a few hours at David's Bridal and finding absolutely nothing, we walked into Tamzen's a bit apprehensive. Well, T...
amzen stepped in and changed the game! She took my vision into consideration, but clearly I knew nothing about finding the perfect wedding dress. Tamzen requested she pick a few she thought I might like and boy was she ON POINT! We quickly narrowed our options and settled on the perfect dress for my body type. Everyone was in tears! I am so happy Tamzen pushed me outside of my comfort zone. Also, the feel of the boutique is so much more inviting than somewhere like David's Bridal-- you get individualized attention and it is much easier to find a dress perfect for you!. I also got my veil and earrings from Tamzen's. I would definitely recommend stopping in to the amazing small business!
My experience at Tamzen's Bridal was unparalleled! Not only did we enjoy the private appointment and personalized experience, but Tamzen even went out of her way to book us a hotel...
room across the street after we got stuck in a snow storm and were unable to drive home for the night! Also, I am an out of state bride, and she has been a blessing in helping coordinate my fittings. In the end, I found not 1, but 2 dream dresses with Tamzen's help! I highly recommend Tamzen and her Team!
I don't even know where to begin! Tammy and Doc were absolutely wonderful. They were so kind and worked with me and each of my bridesmaids in the most professional manner. I went i...
n looking for a fitted gown with sparkles and lace, but none of those seemed to be "it." Tammy pulled a simple A-line gown and showed me that less really can be more. My dress even had pockets! She dressed it up with a cathedral-length veil and a sparkly headband. Her expertise is out of this world. We're so thankful for such a great experience!
Can't say enough amazing things about Tamzen and Doc! My dress and all tuxes were ordered through Tamzen's and we had a fantastic experience on both ends.
They are so personable ...
when taking care of their clients. I was the only one in the store during my bridal appointment which made me feel comfortable trying on dresses and it made me feel special. She was giving her honest feedback the entire time and made sure I got the dress that fit me best.
We had some issues with the tuxes the week of the wedding and Tamzen and Doc worked thru the night to fix the problems! I am so appreciative of everything they did to make me and our groomsman look great on the wedding day!
