Every bit of Mari’s 20-plus years of experience shows in her professionalism and skill. I couldn't afford the dress of my dreams. Although I liked my dress, I wasn't in love with it. All that changed the instant Mari opened the door and greeted... me with her warm and welcoming smile. Her enthusiasm for my dress and me personally were so sincere it was contagious. She was friendly, quick, efficient and it was extremely clear that she would offer not just experience but passion for her work as well. Since all of my bridesmaids and my mom were in another state, I asked Mari if she would mind snapping a few pictures of me in my dress to send to them. She was not only totally ok with that, but even took pictures with her own camera and emailed them to me. After Mari was done with the dress it didn't even seem like the same dress! Suddenly, I fell in love with a dress I’d thought was just ok. I was stunned at how affordable all of the alterations were.
