The Wedding Embassy

not give up until we had found my dress! I had also asked to make a few customizations to my dress which they were more than willing to do, they made the whole process a breeze for me. Even after the wedding when I returned to the shop to have my dress cleaned and sealed for storage, they came through! I had a massive cranberry juice stain on the top of my dress that I was sure would never come out, and sure enough it was gone when I picked it up! If you’re having a hard time finding your dress, look no further than the Wedding Embassy!

totally fine. It was just me and my mom, we all wore masks, and it all felt safe. I sent some pictures and showed my Pinterest board of ideas and immediately Megan (the owner) was off to the floor finding what I was envisioning). I found "THE DRESS" that day with the help of Megan, who is a bridal gown genius. I actually ended up buying the floor model (for about 50% off!) because it fit me very well. Megan did not try to convince me to get a brand new version of that dress (which shows she was not looking to make extra money!) because she said the dress was in really great shape. I was completely hooked and respected her after that! Monika did all of my alterations and she was phenomenal. I didn't even blink when she was free hand cutting off the lace to hem it because I trusted her. I even had a small meltdown the week before the wedding and wanted to try the dress on one more time before pick up and Megan reassured me that I was not in fact crazy and that it was totally fine to have peace of mind. I used them for the post wedding cleaning service as well (you get a discount if you are a Wedding Embassy bride) and it came out beautifully. I would not recommend any other bridal shop in CT!

ect dress!

ma, and bridesmaids. I had no idea what I wanted but had created a Pinterest board of things that caught my eye. Krissy was amazing and had us pick out dresses. I tried on probably 20 dresses and Krissy was helpful at staying in my budget. After trying on dresses, we realized I wouldn't need much in alterations and I was able to play a bit with my budget. Towards the end, she had a feel for my style and pulled a dress that we had looked at but was originally not in my range. I put it on and fell in love. It was perfect! The dress was a Stella York and wasn't in the color combo I would order, so Krissy was so helpful to underlay the correct color for visualization. I ordered the dress and then did a show and tell appointment in January of 2021. My show and tell appointment was also with Krissy and the dress fit amazing. We looked at the small areas I may need altered and set my first fitting with the seamstress, Phyllis. The seamstress I worked with was professional and thorough and very reasonably priced (I didn't even come close to the alteration cap, which was also nice that they have a cap!) I have 3 fittings total and then picked up my dress the week of the wedding. It was such a seamless process and I am now in the process of bringing it back to WE to clean and preserve it. The whole team (including Megan and Joseph via email) were always so helpful and made this bride so calm! I 100000% recommend The Wedding Embassy to any new brides!

. I highly recommend here!

nd try on all of the amazing gowns. There are SO many beautiful options to choose from at this shop, that it is honestly hard to pick just one dress. Megan is the “Randy Fenoli” of my dreams. At every appointment she came around giving honest feedback and was so helpful. She knows her stuff! She pulled dresses I didn’t originally consider and helped me make all of my decisions. I went back to the store just because I wanted to work with her! Phyllis did my alterations and she is legit the best. She was so honest and helpful, which is something that is often hard to find in the bridal industry because people typically only want to give you the opinion you want to hear. My dress came out beautifully because of her. Thank you to The Wedding Embassy!

I loved ended up being strapless. Lorraine assured me straps could be added and ordered extra appliqués with the dress to make it happen. My dress came in and just before my first fitting we decided to postpone our wedding. The Wedding Embassy had me come in to at least try on my dress and make sure I was still happy with it before they packed it up to store until I needed to do my fittings. Once it was time for alterations, Linda came in and worked her magic! She built the straps while I looked on in the mirror to make sure I loved every part of them. They looked perfect and immediately took away any concerns I had about making changes to the dress. She even added extra appliqués from my dress onto a face mask for me, though luckily I didn’t need to wear a mask at any point! Linda is fantastic at what she does and I’m so happy to have worked with her on my dress, everything was beautiful on the day of and I never wanted to take my dress off!

dress in just over two months. She is creative, accommodating, and honest. She is genuinely eager and happy to help. The other women who worked there were always very pleasant and happy to help me in anyway they can. Their shop is gorgeous and clean - I would highly recommend this shop!

through 2020. The dress was a huge hit and everyone loved it. Thank you to the wedding embassy for getting me the dress of my dreams!

to help me find the perfect dress in my first appointment.

wn and Joseph was amazing and so accommodating, he was very nice and was able to fit me in and i am very thankful. Second, at the store Lorraine was my sales consultant and wow she knows her stuff. The suggestions she gave and the dresses that she pulled out for me were all amazing. She was great with my mom who doesn't speak much english and was very patient with me and my choices. We finalized the appointment with a whole look with veil and earrings and WOW, i looked amazing. Also, this was my first appointment at trying dresses and she completely understood and never pushed on a dress or for me to say yes and leave a deposit. Was very honest with me and even suggested the right timeline for me to purchase the dress, since i am a little bit early in the process. The whole team AMAZING.

me to try on. There was so much selection, and as a plus sized woman, I was so excited to see so many I could actually fit into. They were all beautiful, but still none of the ones we picked out felt like the one. My sales associate had me tell her a few dresses I had seen online that I liked and she picked one dress out for me to try. When I put it on, I felt so beautiful. It was definitely the one, and also definitely not one I would have picked out myself, so I’m so grateful she brought it out! I ordered it that day, and never had any regrets. I also had all of my alterations done through the store, and my seamstress was incredibly nice and did a wonderful job. I could not have been happier with the way everything turned out. The Wedding Embassy helped make me feel so special and beautiful for my big day. Thank you so much!

is awesome - very professional, knowledgeable and polite. The gowns are gorgeous and there was a wide variety of styles to choose from. Even our experience when selecting and styling the tux rental for the groom was great! Before and during the pandemic, I couldn’t have had a better experience with how they handled the whole situation. Megan was so accommodating, I am so grateful for Wedding Embassy!

end, I had a dress I loved, but I wasn’t ready to say yes because it was my first appointment. So, I went to two other appointments, still loving that other dress and trying it on at the other salons, but I went back to the Wedding Embassy during the week to get the dress because I really wanted to order from them! They’re alteration and customization prices are also very reasonable

oing to feel so overwhelmed by different styles of dresses, how many there is to choose from,etc. I can tell you, you have nothing to worry about once you go here, you feel so good about yourself the whole time. The reasonable prices, great customer service, and definitely the champagne all make it worth while! Go to the Wedding Embassy, they will have everything to make your wedding dreams come true!

thought I had an idea of what I wanted. As I tried dresses on Chrissy listened to what I liked and didn't like and like magic helped me find the most perfect dress. The dresses they have are beautiful and so reasonably priced. Trust me when I say you will not have to go anywhere else for your gown needs, The Wedding Embassy has it all!

SO many dresses. I ultimately didn't end up buying my dress from them. I bought from a bridal store closer to my house, however, I had the best experience here out of everywhere I tried on.

rraine was so helpful, and I could tell how much she cared about helping me find a dress that I absolutely loved. They have so many dresses to choose from in every style imaginable, and the salon is beautiful. If you are thinking of going there to find your dream dress, you will not be disappointed. Thank you to Megan and Lorraine for all your help!

, didn't rush me and let us take our time. And I found my dress and am completely in love!! I can't wait until my wedding!!

unday and it was to great to have the private space. I was able to have all my bridesmaids and family members present. It was so wonderful! I highly recommend going to the wedding embassy.

judged and looked down upon from the wedding industry vendors for not wanting to spend $1k+ on a dress. My intention for the Wedding Embassy was to originally go with one friend who I felt emotionally safe with and try some dresses on and then go to a consignment shop... When I walked through the door though, I got a very unexpected and different experience - I was welcome by Megan who had a genuine smile on her face and Starbucks in her hand. I showed her 2 inspiration pictures, my budget (OK'd sample dresses) and she picked them all out. When I tried the dresses on - she and my friend were quiet so that I could process the emotions and form my own opinion and would give her opinion if asked. She was so warm, understanding and genuinely a caring person, that she made my experience enjoyable. I ended up actually finding my dress at The Wedding Embassy and was able to stay within my budget due to a sample dress and her not pressuring me once into spending more than I was comfortable spending. Every time I came in for an appointment (tried on my dress for my mom w/ hair & makeup trial & fittings) it was an absolute pleasure and all staff were so helpful and friendly. I absolutely recommend and not only will you walk out with a beautiful dress, but you may also leave with extra fun advice like where to get amazing smoothies, which is just an extra bonus.

my dress for my big day!

ecial and beautiful. My gown was purchased and ordered from WE and we did pur groomsmen and grooms tux through them also. Part of our wedding party was not arriving until Thanksgiving night, with our wedding on Saturday. Megan accommodated our needs and our guys got everything they needed included a jacket shipped over night to the hotel where our guys were getting ready. Their service is top notch, they are so friendly, all of their gowns are beautiful. I highly recommend The Wedding Embassy for your bridal needs.

their dresses that was definitely affordable. I had no idea that when I started dress shopping in March for my October wedding that I was already behind, but The Wedding Embassy made it so easy for me to find the perfect dress. The setting was great for my audience of six and there was definitely champagne. I tried on maybe a dozen dresses but I kept coming back to my all-lace halter dress with a gorgeous back and train. We even did all of the many buttons so I could get the full effect! They found the perfect veil to match and I ordered it all that day. We planned for three alteration appointments but only needed two: one for pinning/planning what type of bustle to create, and the other to try on the completed dress! I took it home two days before the wedding and it was packaged to make it to the venue without wrinkling. I felt amazing wearing it all day and the bustle was so easy for my maid of honor to do. I only wish I could wear my dress every day! I will probably use them for cleaning and preservation as well.

the best gown! I am very petite and the whole alteration process was easy and my dress fit perfectly on my wedding day. They are very organized and I loved that they had appointment reminders via text and email!

ing to end was stress free and I am so happy with my dress choice. Lovely staff the entire time, from the associates who helped us picked out dresses to Linda the amazing seamstress!

o find the perfect dress, and after small alterations (done by Wedding Embassy), the dress fit perfectly!!

t fun! There were no timelines, no pressure, just trying dresses on and keeping an open mind! After a full appointment of trying dresses on, the last one I tried gave me “the feeling” you really hope for when finding your wedding gown! From alteration appointments to pick up, to our tuxedo rental - every single aspect of the work that the wedding embassy did for my dress/tuxes went completely smoothly. Megan is a total rockstar and eased my mind every time we went over details. I couldn’t imagine a better bridal shop. They are 5 stars through and through! I will genuinely miss walking into that place! Thank you all again!

rom finding my dress to the picking up my dress was Amazing!!!!

commend doing the Champagne Sunday its worth EVER PENNY! The wedding embassy had a wonderful selection of dresses and Krissy was wonderful at helping me find my dream dress (that I wouldn’t of imagined as my dream dress)! Anyone who gets the opportunity to work with her is truly blessed she’s amazing! I HIGHLY recommend the wedding embassy, they really have a dress for everyone, and you’ll leave feeling like the most beautiful bride in the world! Thank you Wedding Embassy!

mfortable and really listened. Please don’t go anywhere else!!

in currently) who helped me knew exactly what I wanted and helped me find my dream dress. They were also so accommodating when I wanted to drop in a few times to reassure myself of my decision and to try my dress on when I had my hair and makeup trial. The seamstress also did an amazing job altering my dress to fit me perfectly. I highly recommend going to wedding embassy to find your dream wedding gown.

hroughout the entire process- from ordering the dress to my final pick up I knew my dress was in good hands. The alterations were perfect and exactly what I had envisioned. Megan was a lifesaver when it came to making decisions and had great suggestions.

om the rest. I will never forget walking through their aisles with those little pink clothespins with my mom trying to find the perfect dress, and her tears when we both knew we finally found it. Kristine was so patient and positive - I think it was one of her picks that was the dress I decided on! I loved coming into the shop each time with Monika who was so meticulous as she tweaked and perfected my dress to fit me like a glove. And of course, Megan, the incredible driving force who seamlessly makes it all come together every day. You can get a dress anywhere, but the experience at The Wedding Embassy is simply unparalleled.

need your wedding dress, definitely check out WE!

o all of my needs and made my dress perfect!

ew I had found the dress, but at a salon I did not want to purchase from. I went back to the Wedding Embassy after loving my experience so much and shared my woes with Megan, the owner. She is a dream-maker, for she informed me of their contract with the designer of my dream dress and ordered a loaner of that dress THAT DAY! She also informed me that if I still loved it when I tried on the loaner then I could order the dress through the Wedding Embassy. Best news ever!!! I not only worked closely with Megan, the owner, but also with the amazing Monika. She is one of their seamstresses at the shop and is a magician with a needle and thread! She is so good at what she does, explaining to me what she thinks should be taken in and fixed to make the dress perfect. And perfect it was! I was so confident in working with Monika that my dress would look flawless on the day. And I was not disappointed. It was an absolute joy to work with Monika, Megan and the whole Wedding Embassy team. Wish I could go and buy my dress all over again! Cannot wait to return to get my dress preserved.

ightly alter my dress to add a little extra sparkle to the bottom to make it perfect. From the first time I went, to every fitting and the final pick up of my dress, everyone was amazing!

an option based on my answers on the appointment questionnaire. Not what I was expecting and was such a happy/pleasant surprise. I had my alterations done here as well and my seamstress was on point the whole time. Everyone is raving about my dress and most importantly, I felt absolutely beautiful on our special day. Thank you thank you, thank you!

and everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I couldn't decide between 2 dresses so Alison helped me basically design my own and the changes were super affordable! Also - Monika the seamstress is a wizard :)

ress and felt beautiful. Alterations overall went smoothly. In general appointments tended to run behind, but I was very happy with how my dress turned out.

gan, the owner, is amazing and so skilled at what she does! Once I had my dress, the seamstress who did the alterations was AMAZING! When I went to pick up my dress, Megan steamed it again and made sure it was perfect before she gave it to me. I had a wonderful experience there and I give The Wedding Embassy the highest of recommendations!

ndays with mimosas an the entire place to ourselves. It was great because my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law were all able to pick dresses for me to try. The Stella York dress I found was nearly $700 under my budget and I bought a jaw-dropping veil to go with it. It was all anyone talked about at the wedding. Not to mention, my bridesmaids all loved their gowns and they were great quality. They were all mix matched- in the blush, rose gold colors and mauve. The woman Christie (I think) that helped me did an amazing job color coordinating so that everyone looked different, but cohesive. My seamstress was AMAZING as well! I would definitely recommend! 10 stars!

with Krissy which was great because we had the whole place to ourselves. They had so many options in my price range and in the style I was looking for. Krissy was great at finding what I wanted and, in the end, ended up picking out my dress. One thing I also loved about the Wedding Embassy was that each dress already had established maximum alteration prices so there were no surprises in the end. My seamstress, Monika, was amazing and I am so lucky I had her. She listened to all my concerns and worked to fix all of them. She even thought of things to fix that I would have never even thought of. The hem was perfect and the bustle was easy and flowed perfectly. Everything was perfect the day I picked up my dress and veil. I am so grateful that I found the Wedding Embassy. Thank you again!!

also considerate when it came to alteration prices. They even reduced my cost of alterations by making sure they didn't attach the lace at the bottom of my dress until it was perfectly my size. Their attention to detail will SHINE on your wedding day.

g it was changed. Also, Krissy worked with me to find the perfect bridesmaid dresses I was looking for. Highly recommend!

y had me order a size bigger than i measured at. Fast forward a year later and i lost some weight.. not much but some..the dress needed a LOT of work.. alterations started out OK. typically you get 3 fittings, i had 4. The last fitting the dress finally seemed to fit the only thing that needed to be done on the dress was for the lace on the bust to be taken in a little more. Aside from that, the dress finally had a shape again and fit really well, nice and tight.. i could barely breathe and i loved it...After your final fitting, you don't try on the dress again.. You pick it up, steamed and ready to go for your wedding day. I was in for quite a surprise when i got dressed on my wedding. day..less than a week later... to find out the dress was too big again. No idea what the seamstress did but the dress barely stayed up. So big that when i lifted my arms up at one point, my breasts fell out of my dress.. I spent the entire wedding night pulling it up and holding it up... Overall i was so upset, thankfully the pictures are okay, but you can see where the dress is hanging off me. AND the lace that needed to be pulled back, wasn't. My guests kept commenting that i kept pulling my dress up.. The whole experience was so good until the alterations. Diane did my alterations. Not happy at all with how things turned out. I never reached out after the wedding because you pay your seamstress directly with cash and I'm not sure a refund could even make up for it. You could get your dress here but i would highly recommend going elsewhere for alterations, or at least trying it on one more time before your big day. Just so upset over how it turned out.

inding my wedding dress was one of my top favorites of wedding planning!

because they carried Stella York, Madison James, and Essense of Australia (all designers I loved). The moment you walk in, you are immediately wow'd by their selection. You would think they were all expensive, but there wasn't much that wasn't in my price point ($2500). Krissy was my consultant the first time around and she was patient, kind, and knowledgeable. She actually chose MY DRESS, and for that, I will always be grateful. Even when I had second thoughts (yes, I said yes to the dress TWICE), they were all so understanding. The alterations process was also seamless (pun intended). Nancy did a wonderful job with my hem and bustle. The thing I loved about WE the most was their responsiveness. There was never an e-mail that went unanswered, whether it was Megan or Krissy, they were always there to answer any questions I had. The day of pick up, my dress and veil were steamed and ready to go. I cannot thank them enough. xoxox

dresses to choose from and I didn't feel rushed or pressured through the whole experience. I was most impressed with Linda, their "magical seamstress." I thought I loved my dress when I first tried it on, but I loved it even more after Linda worked on it! My dress fit like a glove and Linda worked hard to make sure the fit was perfect and that both my mom and MOH had the bustle down pat. Being in the Hartford area, it was a bit of a ride to get there but it was TOTALLY worth it and I 100% recommend checking them out no matter where you're located in the state! Thank you again, Wedding Embassy!

originally thought I wanted. The staff was always very friendly and made me feel special at every visit. They were easy to communicate with and sent out frequent reminders to keep me on the timeline. The alterations were affordable and my dress fit perfectly! I would highly recommend the Wedding Embassy to anyone looking for a dress!

uely and perfectly yours.

ook and feel on your big day. I want to shout from the rooftop how wonderful this business is!

, but still want a current style & designer, this place is a dream. Nothing is more than $4000, so I knew I wouldn't fall in love with something that wouldn't be out of budget! I was able to browse the racks myself, while my family members were given clothespins to help mark their own picks! Believe it or not, it was Megan (the owner and my consultant that day) who picked my winning Allure Bridals gown! The team is patient and supportive, from first appointment to final fitting. My seamstress, Diane, took unbelievable care in making sure the dress fit exactly as I wanted it. I felt amazing and wish I could wear it everywhere!

nd put pins on dresses to try.. I loved that my bridesmaids got to be involved and that I got to try on styles I never thought of. Loraine was full of helpful advice and never made me feel rushed or like she was trying to make a sale. When I chose my dress everyone was genuinely happy! The process from there was so smooth, the seamstress was amazing and every staff member I worked with was friendly and accommodating. My dress fit perfectly and my only regret is that I only got to wear it once! Thank you Wedding Embassy for the wonderful experience!

er, shopping at The Wedding Embassy made all of my anxiety disappear. From beginning to end, the experience was AMAZING. I did the 3-hour, private dress shopping experience that they offer on Sundays, and immediately Meghan put me at ease. I got to search through all of their racks with my mom, maid of honor, and my aunt. Then, Meghan pulled dresses that I liked, and that she thought I would like based on the other dresses that I had chosen. Meghan was so knowledgeable about every aspect of wedding dresses that she was able to answer every single question I had, and even ones I didn't think to ask. She helped me narrow down my choices, and ultimately pick the PERFECT dress. And, when it came time to have my dress altered everything we just as smoothly. The seamstress, Linda, was amazing, and did a phenomenal job with my dress. It legitimately fit like a glove. On top of all of these things, when my mom had issues with getting her dress fitted (just days before the wedding after already having issues) she brought her concerns and some pictures to Meghan to get her advice. Meghan was happy to help and actually solved most of my mom's problems just from listening to her and looking at pictures! The crew at The Wedding Embassy goes above and beyond to assist their customers, and I have never had a more pleasant shopping experience. I've been recommending them to everyone who needs a wedding dress (and even some people who don't yet!)! They're just that good!

to every little detail I wanted!!

ess dress and she covered it in lace - looked so perfect!! Also, Megan is so knowledgeable and always put me at ease. We also got some of the bridesmaid dresses here and they looked fantastic. Would highly recommend!!

ff went above and beyond to help me with my dream dress and I could not be more grateful. I highly recommend all brides-to-be go to The Wedding Embassy for your wedding/bridesmaid dresses!

places I had been, but I knew they had the dress I wanted, so it was fine for me. We had our own consultant help my bridesmaids try it on, and the store was very helpful with placing the order for 7 bridesmaids who were all paying individually and all lived in various locations. They even shipped it to some of them that lived far away for a small fee. Some of my bridesmaids opted to have their dresses tailored somewhere else, while others had The Wedding Embassy take care of it. It was nice to have The Wedding Embassy tailor the dress because they put an $85 cap on the cost of tailoring no matter how much tailoring the dress needs. All my bridesmaids looked gorgeous, and everything was taken care of professionally and easily. The Wedding Embassy is definitely worth the trip!

r boutique. Every appointment the staff was timely and respectful. They bent over backwards to be sure I was happy and found THE PERFECT dress. I was not rushed through the process and worked with an excellent consultant, Hannah, who knew just the dress to pull or the modification to make so I could achieve my vision. They made the process fun and stress free, hope every bride can feel as special as I did! Thank you everyone at wedding embassy!!

f my dreams. I had a vision of what I wanted, but she helped me comb through all the options to make sure it was THE one. She answered all of my questions, even ones I didn’t know I had! I was 1000% happy with my decision and never once questioned it. From there, the dress came quickly and I was able to go in and try it on for a “show and tell” appointment before alterations began. I also got my veil and my BEAUTIFUL earrings here - there jewelry selection is amazing!! The dress fittings (3 of them) went great, and Linda was absolutely amazing in making sure the dress fit and looked PERFECT. When I picked up my dress for the final time, they went through every single detail I needed to know about how to care for it leading up to the wedding day, and each and every time I visited the shop the entire staff was so lovely, kind, and made me feel so special. They take all of the anxiety of dress shopping away! I HIGHLY recommend the Wedding Embassy to help you find your dream dress!! You will have an amazing experience!

they were kind enough to accept and do the alterations for me again. Their alteration prices are very reasonable in comparison to what some of the other girls in the party paid. The customer service is outstanding!

first visit to my last visit- I truly enjoyed working with the Wedding Embassy. I would also highly recommend Linda for alterations- she is phenomenal, as well as kind. Thank you so much! My dress was perfect this past weekend!

re just now pressing the entire dress. Additionally, they only accept cash for alterations. What legitimate business only accepts cash for one aspect of their store? Clearly alterations are being done under the table. I was also told that they capped bridesmaid dress alterations at $85 and I knew my dress needed a lot of work so I wasn't too surprised when they said it would be that much. However, when I looked at the payment breakdown in the car (given to me after I paid in cash of course and stapled to the bottom of a pile of papers) I realized that my total should have only been $70, so clearly they charge everyone $85 for the alterations regardless of what you need done. Would not recommend this salon based on how they conduct business.

that this is where I would go. A few years later, I got engaged and made my first appointment! For my wedding, my wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, and flower girl dresses all came from The Wedding Embassy. When choosing my wedding dress, I scheduled a 'Champagne Sunday' with about 6 of my family members, and the whole experience was perfect. My mom and mother-in-law loved getting to choose dresses for me to try on, and Meghan helped sort through them with me to really try on the ones that best fit my vision. It was such a fun way to pick out my dress! I brought my bridesmaids back to look at their dresses, and again, everyone there was so accommodating and helpful :) The sizing was accurate, and my wedding party appreciated getting the size they needed for their best fit. With my flower girls, they loved getting to try on many dresses, and Meghan was so helpful in working with their sizes to help find the best one for them. Scheduling alternations was so easy, and I completely trusted that my dress was going to fit perfectly. My seamstress was able to attach personalized straps from my mom's vail, which made both my mom and me so happy. All of my questions and concerns were addressed, and when I put on my dress on my wedding day, it was flawless! I highly recommend The Wedding Embassy! Meghan and her staff are remarkable :)

compliments on my perfect dress! They helped me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!
