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. Prices are reasonable as well. I'd recommend Tamzen's to everyone!
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 dresses. 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 understand 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 was looking for in a wedding dress and pulled multiple options for me to try on.
I highly recommend Tamzen’s Bridal at Butler Manor if you are in need of a wedding dress.
When looking for my wedding dress I went to several stores but my experience at Tamzen’s Bridal was the best! Tamzen is very personable and having her be a part of my wedding dress 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 myself 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 truly 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 list of local seamstresses. I can't say enough good things about Tamzen's Bridal! Highly recommended!
Tamzen’s bridal is a warm welcoming salon with a very knowledgeable staff. I came in with a picture In my head and they made it come true. I appreciated the honesty and guidance while I was trying to find the perfect dress!
Wonderful boutique with outstanding customer service. Made me feel like I was their only priority. Very patient with me helping me find the perfect wedding dress and being sure I was comfortable with the choice. No pressure. All of the wedding party attire came from Tamzen's. Very professional, organized and caring. They also connected us with a great seamstress.
Tamzen and Britt were AMAZING! I didn’t have much of an idea of what I wanted in a wedding dress. My group picked several dresses for me to try on and the ladies at Tamzen’s took all 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 as 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 me 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-hearted woman! The dresses she has in her store were all beautiful! I said 'YES' to the dress at Tamzen's bridal!!!!
My mother and I had such an amazing experience finding the wedding dress of my dreams at Tamzen's Bridal. We were treated so well from the moment we stepped in the door to see my name on a personalized sign, through trying on numerous dresses, receiving information, being treated professionally and personable, through follow up phone calls. I highly recommend this boutique as a wonderful experience!
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 amazing 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!
Tammy did a great job with helping us find the perfect dress for not only me, but my bridesmaids as well!! I would suggest her to anyone she’s amazing and goes out of her way to help anyone with the most important day of their lives!
Completely fell IN LOVE with this shop and the ladies who assisted me. Your appointment is private and personal, which I loved. They're warm and welcoming, anxious to give you the FULL bridal experience.
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 varying 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 honest, 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. Then 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 couldn'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 helped 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, Tamzen 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 in 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!
Tamzen and Doc really took care of us right from the beginning. My daughter and I went in one day to just make an appointment but there wasn't another appointment in progress so Tamzen was gracious and let us start our dress shopping right then and there (and found the look I was wanting right then and there!) I went to two other places to look for a dress but didn't find the selection and, equally as important, the service to be what Tamzen had right here in my hometown of Carlisle. Her gowns are elegant and classic and she made each of the appointments for me/us special. We also rented the suits from Doc and they were perfect! He has a great selection of high quality tuxes and suits and we found exactly what we needed. I think the dress you wear at your wedding is an important decision and finding it at a place where the owners truely care about their customers was the only way to go. Thank you both for making it all of it so easy!!
I hate trying on clothes, and was very nervous to try on wedding dresses. I am happy to say that Tamzen's made the whole experience a good one. Tammy was great about following my lead, but still helping me to figure out what style would suit me best. I felt special -I never was rushed or pushed to make a decision, and I had the place to myself during my appointment. They have a great selection of dresses, as well as accessories. My mom and maid of honor were both impressed too!
absolutely loved Tamzen and the experience! this was my first shop and the only I needed to go to. everyone went in and picked out what they wanted me to try on. Tamzen was extremely patient, helpful, and funny. There's only one appointment at a time which is awesome because the focus is all on you and getting what you want. I loved their selection of dresses and that they were all affordable. wonderful shop with wonderful staff! It is a small shop and they're super helpful.
Where to even start.. Well we had a bridal party of 20, and Tamzen's Bridal handled it like it was a piece of cake! With 10 Guys and 10 Girls, they got everything perfect! We bought vests and rented shoes for the guys! We bought all our bridesmaids dresses there along with all their jewelry! Talk about a one stop shop, this is the place to go! Would recommend this shop over and over again! Book your appointment now! =)
Tamzen and Doc were absolutely wonderful!! When I walked into Tamzen's Bridal I immediately fell in love. I was the only appointment and they even had a welcome sign with my name on it. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I really felt like she listened and took all of my ideas into account. Tamzen was wonderful and pulled dresses that I might not have pulled myself. She found my absolute dream dress! I got compliments on the dress all night long and I felt stunning! Tamzen was so calm and really puts you at ease. My experience at Tamzen's Bridal was fantastic and I recommend it to everyone! I can't thank you both enough!!
Tamzen and Doc are the best! From beginning to end, our experience was amazing. We felt so welcome and my fiancé was so comfortable trying on dresses. Tamzen was great at choosing dresses that suited my fiancé's figure and she was so helpful in narrowing down the selection. We felt so at home and Tamzen and Doc made it the most enjoyable experience. Tamzen's Bridal has an amazing selection for all shapes, sizes, and budgets.
My fiancé said YES TO THE DRESS at Tamzen's Bridal, and she could not be more happy with her choice. We can't wait to go back to Tamzen's Bridal for final fittings!
Tam was wonderful. They had scheduled me in as an accessory appointment instead of a gown appointment, but they accommodated and made the appointment go so smoothly and wonderfully. They actually gave us additional discounts on the dress because of the miscommunication and the fact that I am an EMT. Tam was wonderful to work with and was such a sweetie with my family.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bridal boutique! Tammy and Doc are the absolute sweetest people on earth and it's evident that they love their job! It took me two appointments at Tamzen's to say yes to the dress, but both times I was treated like royalty. Unlike other shops I've shopped at, they book only one appointment at a time and give you their full attention. Tammy is very personable and has a knack for picking dresses she knows you'll feel beautiful in.
My bridal appointment was perfect. I came to Tamzen's as my third bridal salon. I had a vision for my dress... but the one I had in mind was almost out of budget. With my vision in mind, Tamzen pulled nearly a dozen gowns similar to what I wanted. They were each beautiful but with her help, I found a better version of the dress I wanted -- for $800 less! I love that Tamzen and her husband have stacked their racks with quality dresses for very reasonable prices. I also loved the environment they gave me. I was the center of their attention and felt she really listened to what I wanted. I'm grateful I found them!
Tamzen's was the bridal shop I couldn't get out of my mind when I was looking for my wedding dress! It was the first place I went – and the last after a long search brought me back to their doorstep. I was beginning to think I would never find the dress, but the team here was so incredibly helpful and encouraging. They aided someone indecisive in pruning down the sometimes confusing options until I was left with the perfect dress! I wouldn't have wanted to find "the one" anywhere else.
I had a wonderful experience working with Tamzen and everyone at Tamzen's Bridal. I am not a huge fan of shopping generally, but Tamzen put me at ease and made the entire experience of trying on different styles of gowns exciting and fun. I commuted from NYC for all my appointments, and Tamzen was always extremely accommodating with my schedule. I am so grateful to have met and worked with her! The dress was beautiful and worked perfectly with our beach wedding location, and it was all possible thanks to Tamzen's Bridal!
Thank you so much Tamzen!!!
We had a great experience on the day my daughter-in-law found her dream dress. It was beautiful. It went downhill from there. We choose to order tuxedos from Tamzen's which was the biggest mistake. The sizes were wrong and didn't ship ahead of time as promised. The owner Doc was rude and didn't take respnsibility. Don't order your tuxedos from there.
Where to even begin? This was my third stop with my mom and bridesmaids as we continued to search for the perfect wedding dress for me. Tamzen welcomed all of us with open arms and made us feel at home right away. She had already picked out some dresses based on pictures I sent her, but I soon discovered that what I initially picked out was not at all what I wanted in my wedding dress. She listened to me discuss everything with the other girls and quietly picked out dresses based on what she overheard. One of them ended up being the absolute perfect dress. She dressed it up with ribbon, a beautiful veil, and a hairpiece which made the whole look unique to my taste. She understood my concerns about the bust area and talked me through different options. I was thrilled to find my wedding dress, but I was equally thrilled to buy it from Tamzen, because she was an absolute joy to work with.
She and her husband have a great balance. He coordinated the arrival date of the dress and any other questions we had. They also recommended an amazing seamstress who did all of the work at a very fair price.
Overall, I would make the trip to Tamzen's even if you're not local. It is worth your time to meet these two genuine people and know that you're in capable, trustworthy hands when picking our your dress!
Tamzen's was the best salon I went to!! She helped me find my dream dress! She is very personal and does not put you in something you don't want. She also knows her stuff and gives you her professional opinion. Everybody raved over my dress and it made the wedding even more perfect! Also check out her son, he owns Pencil Me In. He does day of coordinations as well as amazing florals! I highly recommend!!
Tamzen's is a great shop to purchase your wedding gown. They make it their priority to give you their undivided attention to help you find exactly what you are looking for. By far the best customer service!
I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Beautiful boutique with gorgeous dresses. Tamzen was wonderful! She gave helpful feedback and ask thoughtful questions that made picking the perfect dress so much easier! Would highly recommend.
I would recommend this bridal boutique to any bride to be! They make everything personal for you from the moment you step in. Each bride gets their own time in the shop and Doc and Tamzen really take the time to get to know you and what your looking for. I went in with an open mind and ended up leaving with a beautiful dress! I can't thank them enough for helping me to find the dress of my dreams!
I can't say enough about how wonderful it was working with Tamzen! I live in Pittsburgh, but my fiancé grew up in the area and his family is there. It was important to me to involve his Mom in the process, so we went looking back in August. I had already been to a few appointments elsewhere and was beginning to get overwhelmed, but Tamzen and her staff were helpful, honest, and warm people. It was a little too early to make a decision, so I booked another appointment for November. I went to some local bridal shops in between, and I had found a dress online that I loved that wasn't out yet. I called Doc and corresponded with him a few times over the phone as he tried everything to get it in for me before November to try on, which was super appreciated and wonderful customer service. When we went back in November, the experience was just as wonderful as the first time. I brought my Mom, his Mom, and his sister, and I ended up "saying yes" to a dress I had fallen in love with the first time I was in the shop. Tamzen was very helpful with suggestions about belts and other accents to my dress, and my Mom ended up finding her dress as well! I've been recommending as much as possible to people here to make the trip, but if you're already in the area, go to this wonderful shop!
Tammy and Doc are truly amazing! I made an appointment with Tammy, and had no plans to purchase a dress that day. She was so wonderful throughout the entire process. There was no pressure, we had the entire shop to ourselves for our time, and Tammy made reccomendations that I never would have considered. I actually went into their shop with explicit instructions not to put me in silk/satin, Tammy said "just try it" sure enough as soon as she put the dress over my head I said "that's it!" She is just the most wonderful person and I am SO happy I decided to go there! Thank you Tammy and Doc!
At such a great experience at Tamzen's Bridal! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for their wedding dress!
I said "yes" to the dress yesterday at Tamzen's Bridal and I could not be more thrilled! When I was looking for a dress, I kept coming back to the same three designers that I loved. There two salons where I live that carried the designers, but I had terrible experiences with both of them in the past so I wanted to go somewhere different. I am so happy I went with Tamzen's! From the beginning she listened to me and my opinions and didn't force me into anything. She pulled a couple different styles to keep my mind open, but never forced the issue if I didn't like it. It was very important to me that I not be forced into selecting a dress and Tammy was wonderful about that. I am happy to say that my dress is ordered and I cannot wait for it to come in! I would highly recommend this salon and I am so happy it was my first and only stop!
I had an amazing experience at Tamzen's Bridal! From the moment I called and scheduled my appointment, I was treated with kindness and respect. I came in with five women in tow, and Tamzen (Tammy) kept them all in line with ease. We were the only customers in the store and I received undivided attention. I had a very specific vision, and Tammy pulled dresses that perfectly matched what I had in mind. She read my reactions to each dress and perfectly expressed how I felt when I couldn't find the words. We took our time trying on quite a few options, but I never felt rushed or pushed to make a decision or a purchase. I ended up choosing a gorgeous Stella York dress, and Tammy was very careful to order the correct size - measuring me and going over the specifics of how a 6 would fit compared to an 8, how alterations would work, etc. She was detailed and kind and fun, the shop was well organized, and I would recommend Tamzen to anyone!
Five stars just isn't enough, I would give a hundred gold stars. I've been to several salons and it was ok but the second I stepped in I felt the connection. Tammy, Joyce and Doc were thoughtful, caring, attentive, personable and they listened. It wasn't about making a sale with them it was about the journey to fund your dream dress. I found my dress and at the end and there was so much love from all of them and it's genuine. I have nothing bad to say about any of it. I recommend this place and the wonderful people all day long. Hands down the best place to go with great affordable prices and what an unbelievable selection of dresses.
Tamzen's was an amazing experience! I had gone to a number of places prior, and was completely underwhelmed at the dress shopping experience. That is until Tamzen. She was unbelievably helpful and wonderful. She gives her full attention to her clients and makes them feel so special. She seems to genuinely care about each and every one. I was able to try on anything and everything. I was so lucky to have found my dream dress there! Best bridal shop I've been to!
Customer service is top notch. We walked in and were promptly greeted. As this was my first bridal shop stop, Tamzen was very patient in helping me to decide what styles I liked and flattered my body type. She also encouraged trying on a variety of styles and designers. She helped put my hair up and put on a variety of veils, hair accessories, etc. She is very knowledgable and professional. Wonderful experience!
The worst service ever. Doc is the rudest person and a very mean person to deal with. He never answered our phone calls he was so rude he swore at me he ordered all the boys suits wrong and my fathers suit completely wrong. He told us that we need to get a seamstresses opinion to later find out they ordered all the wrong suits then he calls back acting like its a joke. If you can stay a away!!!!
I honestly can't say enough about this wonderful place, and the fabulous people who work there. I was treated right away by Tammy, and she honestly took care of EVERYTHING. I felt as though I was her number one priority the ENTIRE time. She listened to what I was looking for and didn't try and push anything on me I wasn't in to. She was great with my guests as well. Honesty by the time we left they felt like family. Tamzen's is clothing our entire wedding!
I'm writing on behalf of the experience I had with my mom and shopping for her MOB dress. (I live out of the area and bought my wedding dress in my local city). She had met Tamzen and Doc at a local wedding expo, and she won a gift certificate to their store. Upon walking in, Tamzen gave my mom and I her undivided attention, while Doc gave my fiance and my dad his undivided attention. They were both accommodating, friendly, and obviously knew their stuff. When my mom decided on her dress but was having a hard time figuring out which size she would be more comfortable in, Tamzen was able to work some back-end inventory magic and order another size for my mom to try on in a couple weeks, at no extra cost. Not only that, but they also honored the expired gift certificate my mom had. Talk about customer service--even for a MOB dress! We will most likely end up ordering my fiance's and his groomsmen's suits from Tamzen's as a result. I obviously can't speak to their bridal inventory, but I can tell you that their customer service made for a wonderful experience for us.
I would highly recommend Tamzen's bridal! The whole experience was perfect and the dresses are gorgeous!
My experience with Tamzen's bridal was exceptional. I had three appointments in one weekend, Tamzen's being my last stop, and they were by far the best one I had. I loved so many of their gowns and Tamzen's expertise helped me to find the right one. They focus on one person (or bridal party) at a time which was awesome to receive their full attention. I would recommend them to anyone and I cannot wait until my fiance and guests see my gown!
What a wonderful experience! I loved working with Tammy and her team to find my perfect wedding dress! She was so accommodating and had me try on so many different styles and colors just to make sure everything was perfect. I felt great and not at all stressed! They even recommended a great place to get alterations done! We had such a fun time at Tamzen's and I absolutely found the gown of my dreams!
They were amazing with helping me find the most beautiful dress. They were able to take the vision I had for my wedding dress and take it up by 1000! And able to get all my accessories there as well!!
Tamzen bridal is truly amazing!!!! Tammy and doc are so kind and helpful. Tammy truly is terrific at what she does and will know your style after a few minutes of working with you to find that perfect dress. The atmosphere is terrific and the dresses are truly breathtaking. I have never been to a bridal store that was so unique and that had such a vast array of dresses. There is no other bridal shop out there like Tamzen's!!!
I would highly recommend Tamzen's Bridal at Butler Manon to any bride-to-be! I LOVED my experience at Tamzen's bridal! Not only is the staff extremely friendly, but they also do whatever it takes to find your perfect dress! They will listen to what styles you like as well as have you try dresses you would have never thought to try to get the style and fit that best fits you. I would have never picked my dress off the rack and I am so thankful Tamzen had me try it on! I love my dress and cannot wait for my wedding now thanks to Tamzen's Bridal!
This was my first time dress shopping and I must admit, I was overwhelmed. Tamzen and Doc are so friendly and really helped me through the process. There were tons of styles to choose from and I said yes to the last dress I tried on! The staff seemed truly to want what would be best for me on my special day and told me valuable industry knowledge. On top of all of that, the price is right! Tamzen's comes highly recommended.
Every little girl dreams of the day she will find her wedding dress and Tamzen's Bridal did not fall short of any of my dreams. From the staff to the selection of gowns and accessories to the atmosphere Tamzen's Bridal exceeded all of my expectations. I would recommend Tamzen's to any future bride whether they are from Central Pennsylvania or from surrounding areas. Let Tamzen's help you find your perfect dream dress!
I cannot say enough great things about this bridal salon! First off, Doc and Tamzen are the most amazing people to work with and to share a conversation with. Very down to earth, sweet, personable and easy to work with! I made an appointment and had 6 people with me. We were the last appointment that day which was nice because they worked with my late work schedule and we had to salon to ourselves. Tamzen let me pull any dress that caught my eye, while making suggestions along the way based off my vision of the wedding. I think the best thing that Tamzen and Doc let me do was take pictures of myself in their gowns. This is what ultimately led me to making my decision for my gown! I've since then purchased my veil and some accessories at Tamzen, while my brother used them for his senior prom attire. These people are so genuine and kind, it made a world of difference to me and my family.!
I can't say enough about my experience at Tamzen's. I stumbled across their boutique when searching for a store in the area that carried Sorella Vita bridesmaid dresses and happened to browse through their wedding gowns online. Coincidentally, I came across one that I had my heart set on so I called right away to schedule an appointment. This was my first and only bridal appointment. When I arrived to the shop, there was a sign welcoming me with my name and I had the entire shop to myself with my closest family members and maid of honor. They brought us champagne and Tamzen went through every wedding dress in the store with me and made sure I gave every style, shape, and texture a try. My experience there was better than anything I could have imagined. It was such a pleasure to have Tamzen help walk me through finding my dress. I felt comfortable with her and thought she was extremely helpful and honest. I left without purchasing my dress (since I was torn between three of them!), but made a return appointment to purchase the one that I knew was mine. I am anxiously awaiting for it to arrive in September! I strongly recommend Tamzen's to any bride. Their selection of gowns is exceptional. They have beautiful dresses both for brides and bridesmaids and I am looking forward to meeting with Robert to discuss suits for the guys. The hospitality and service that Tamzen's provides would be hard to beat!
I very highly recommend Tamzen's Bridal for picking out the perfect wedding dress! Of all the places I went to, I was impressed with them the most. They made me feel so special and at home (they even remembered me months later). They were incredibly friendly and professional, and provided sage advice, while not being pushy. Plus I found the dress of my dreams there (they had an absolutely gorgeous selection). :)
AMAZING! Tamzen and Robert are so sweet! Tamzen works with what you want and finds you the best dress! I never thought the first place I stopped I would have found my wedding dress! Best place to go by far!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely AMAZING experience! It was the first bridal shop I tried dresses on at and I had the best experience. Tamzen and her husband Doc are absolutely lovely! They treat you like family and want the best for you! They don't try to sell you on any dresses. They want you (the bride) to be happy and feel beautiful in the dress you end up walking down the aisle in! I bought my dress from them and it was awesome! They also make it a priority to only have one bride in at a time so that they can focus on her and make her feel special! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone getting married! :)
After getting engaged, it started to become overwhelming thinking of all the things to do, especially when it comes to the dress. Tamzen's Bridal is the best!! The owners are very kind and helpful by offering a personal touch for each bride. At the appointment, it was solely me and my family; no other brides waiting for their turn to be swapped around various consultants like you'll find at other shops. I had an idea of what I wanted, but not completely. Tamzen was very patient and put me in all types of silhouettes until I found the perfect shape. All of the dresses are beautiful and very affordable, which was important for a frugal bride like me on a very tight budget! I found my gown, and it's perfect! Tamzen went above and beyond, providing ideas for veil length, hairpieces, and jewelry to make the look extra special. Make this your first stop in your dress search. Thank you, Tamzen and Robert!!
In the past few weeks I recommended Tamzen's Bridal at Butler Manor to two friends. They both were impressed with the wonderful and personalized service from the owners (Tammy and Robert Sonntag). They also said that the prices were better than they could imagine, the selections were unbelievable, and their overall experience was phenomenal!! I will continue to recommend Tamzen's Bridal at Butler Manor for anyone in the need of a bridal gown, mother of the bride (or groom), bridesmaids dresses, tuxedos, or just the most beautiful and elegant formal wear.
