I highly recommend Vanessa and couture Fashion house absolutely incredible and beautiful experience that had me in tears. Happy tears

Extremely professional and kind! I could not have asked for a better experience. They listened, they cared and they made me feel right at home.

Vanessa Alfaro Bridal is one of the best dress shopping experiences I’ve had!!! Ladies were so kind and welcoming, they took their time to ask me about my venue and vision of the wedding to find a perfect dress for me. The trying on process was super fun, Vanessa was always making sure I felt comfortable. And let me tell you this, the studio is stunning!!! It really helps to put you in a bridal mood and you really feel yourself like in a prestigious bridal shops, which it truly is! The dress selection is amazing, all the dresses are so unique, so stunning. If you are looking for something unique, you have to make an appointment like right now, as you won’t find anything like it in any other store of San Diego area, and I’ve been to pretty much every single one! There is something for everyone and you WILL find your dream dress there!

This is the absolute best place to go wedding dress shopping! I had been to a couple of other dress shops and they didn't compare to my experience at Vanessa Alfaro Bridal and Couture. I was looking for a more unique dress and hadn't seen any that really stood out to me until I got there and there were just soooo many amazing dresses. They were exactly what I was looking for and there were so many different styles and designs. Vanessa and Liz are the nicest people and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. There was never any pressure and Vanessa even encouraged me to come back another time so I could really think about what I wanted in my wedding dress. The whole dress was customizable too which is something I did not see at the other dress stores, or if I did it was extremely expensive. Here, I got to basically design my dream wedding dress for a reasonable price within my budget of what I was looking to pay. The actual house itself is beautifulllllll, with snacks and drinks, comfortable couches and privacy to get changed, it was amazing. It is also so nice being the only one in there and not being around many other people trying on dresses. Vanessa and Liz make you feel so at home and relaxed and walk you through the whole process. They bought out so many different dresses for me to try and I got to really take my time and pick what I liked and didn't like. I never felt like anything was a problem and all my questions were answered. My wedding dress was absolutely beautiful and I really could not have wanted anything more. I highly recommend seeing Vanessa when looking for your dream wedding dress! Thank you so so much Vanessa and Liz for helping me choose and design my dream wedding dress. It was perfect and even better than I could have ever envisioned!

I recently purchased my wedding dress from Vanessa Alfaro Bridal, and the experience was magical! The boutique is beautifully decorated with a welcoming ambiance. Vanessa and Katherine made me feel like the most important bride. They took the time to understand my vision, preferences, and budget, and were incredibly patient as I tried on multiple gowns. ALL of the dresses are absolutely STUNNING!! I had tried on dresses at different boutiques and was worried I wouldn’t find my perfect dress, but here, I couldn’t decide which one I liked best! They truly went above and beyond to ensure I found the dress of my dreams. I highly recommend Vanessa Alfaro Bridal to any bride-to-be.

I visited Vanessa Alfaro Bridal for a custom Wedding gown & fell in LOVE with the dresses she had! Vanessa is very friendly & professional. She gave my family & I an exceptional experience that I will never forget! It was my first time trying on wedding gowns & she made the process go so smoothly. She reassured me that she can make the dress of my dreams & I truly am so thankful and grateful for her. It was such a beautiful night with my friends & family, she accommodated 10-11 of us even though she doesn’t usually have that many guest. The fashion house is stunning itself and I am so glad I found it! I can’t wait to see my beautiful dress when it’s finished! Thank you Vanessa & Liz for everything! ❤️

From the moment we arrived, I felt the love! Vanessa was so sweet, patient, honest, attentive, great listener and above all wanted me to be happy with my choice of dress. I strongly recommend coming here for brides like myself who may need time and patience. I loved how she was able to add more stuff to my dress and change something that I did not like. About the dress, I couldn’t be more happy with my choice, this is going to be a moment in life I will remember for ever and I am certain is going to be one the most beautiful dress! The place is Absolutely gorgeous and has treats and drinks for the bride’s party and your child. At of all the places I’ve gone to! I’ve felt like she was the most helpful.

Vanessa and her team made my experience truly out of this world. She made me feel at home and not rushed into making any decision without truly taking the time to think about it! She listened to my wants and desires for my future wedding dress and aided me in picking out each dress I wanted to try on. My appointment was 2:1 and personal without any interruptions. I recommend any bride to come to her - she has a large variety of dresses that are custom made to you! I would go back here in a heartbeat and wish I found her sooner. Her dresses truly feel high quality, and she is able to customize everything to your liking. She is very easy to communicate with and so calm and friendly. My family and friends absolutely loved her!

Ambiance is is amazing Vanessa and her staff are very helpful and professional. Looking forward for my dress to be made by them

Blown Away!! Not only did she make it so easy to communicate, I love how attentive Vanessa was to all of my request to get a truly custom dress!

Vanessa Alfaro is an incredible professional! She is very attentive and focused on her customers' needs. Vanessa and her assistant were outstanding in helping me find my dream wedding dress! I couldn't have found a dress that I liked as much anywhere else! Five stars is more than deserved, I truly recommend visiting Vanessa Alfaro Bridal & Couture if you are looking for a special wedding dress!

As a wedding florist and venue owner for over 15 years, I have seen it ALL. So when it came to planning my own wedding, finding vendors that met my very high standards was not an easy task. Vanessa is the definition of professionalism and her work is absolutely exquisite. Her attention to detail is beyond reproach. She truly has a gift at turning dreams into reality. I could not have asked for a more beautiful dress, a more perfect fit, or a more easy and stress free experience. Hire Vanessa to design your gown, you won't regret it!

As the Mother of the Bride, I was more than blown away by the experience at Vanessa Alfaro's Bridal & Couture. From the moment you step into her Luxury Fashion House, it takes your breath away by how beautiful the location is and all the beautiful gowns. Vanessa and her assistant clearly love what they do and every detail is seen to happily. Her dresses are absolutely stunning! Vanessa listened to my daughter's dreams and guided her to the perfect dress. She offered many different styles that were all beautiful. The attention to detail on all of her dresses is breathtaking! Getting a stunning dress that Vanessa is customizing to fit perfectly is every bride's dream.

Vanessa & her team will give you the most magical experience finding your dress! You’re swept away in bridal couture the moment you walk in. Every one of Vanessa’s dresses has beautiful detailing that you cannot find anywhere else. They truly give you the full experience & help make your day everything you dreamed of.

My experience with Vanessa Alfaro was unlike my other bridal appointments. Vanessa and her assistant took a good amount of time asking me about the dresses I liked and leaned towards and the ones I did not. She provided great fashion knowledge on the dresses I tried on and let me know the flexibility of customizing specific areas of the dress. I felt like I had endless options to select from. I did not feel overwhelmed with the experience at all. Every option was exciting! Each dress was absolutely gorgeous! The decision was tough, but Vanessa encourages you to take time to think and reflect on the dresses. She encourages you to reflect on photos of you in the dresses. The bridal experience and quality of the dresses will not leave you disappointed.

My experience with Vanessa and her bridal couture shop was nothing less than perfect!! She really made me feel at home and was willing to go above and beyond to help me find that perfect dress for my wedding! I would definitely recommend her to anybody who’s looking for a dress for the wedding. And all the gowns she design are amazing to say the least. I’m truly blessed that I was able to have this experience. Thank you, Vanessa ❤️

This was my first dress fitting and I was extremely nervous but Vanessa quickly put me at ease and allowed me to customize my dream dress.

I had a wonderful time working with Vanessa and Lily! They were detailed oriented and super friendly. They listened to what I wanted, gave me their opinion and ultimately let me decide! They weren't pushy or trying to make a quick buck. I really felt respected, unlike other bridal shops. The dressing room is an entire room, which is so nice especially when trying on big dresses! When I picked up my dress, Vanessa inspected the entire thing to make sure there wasn't any loose threads or misplaced beads. This really showed how much she cared about her clients. Her pricing is absolutely SHOCKING! She was cheaper than all the bridal shops I looked at. All in all, I had an amazing experience with Vanessa and her staff, I got the dress of my dreams, I didn't break the bank, and overall, I supported a wonderful lady and her business. The dresses on her website show all tight , form fitting styles but I promise you, she has a whole inventory to go through and they are all well made and designed! I could go on, but I am telling you!! If there is any hesitancy, just book a consultation with them! They eased the pain of dress shopping so much with just a single phone call!

Best place to find your dream dress! I had my bridal appointment with Vanessa & her assistant Liz, they where so incredibly helpful! They took their time in explaining and showing me every option, and helped me in an out of the dresses so easily. She has the most beautiful unique styles to choose from! I wasn’t able to find my dream dress anywhere, but after booking with her I found THE ONE! 💕

Vanessa and her team have been so amazing and patient in helping me find the dress of my dreams. As a type A bride it wasn’t easy to find exactly what I wanted, but Vanessa listened to all my desires and picked out stunning dresses every time. Even moved my appointment so I could try on her new collection which is when I found the one 😍 So sweet, personable and overall the best experience ever. Go with Vanessa you won’t regret it!!

Absolutely amazing experience. Not only are her designs super beautiful and high-end, but she really took the time to guide me and offer options to customize the dresses based on my taste. Her salon was gorgeous and spacious. I really felt like I was VIP. She also had tremendous patience and was not pushy, not even once. I will be booking my second appt. soon and take my sister and Maid of Honor along with me this time. I feel like you can't beat her prices - her dresses are stunning.

Vanessa and her assistant were so incredibly helpful! From the beginning to the end, they made the process so easy! This was my first time trying on dresses and there’s no way i would go anywhere else!

When I saw Vanessa’s dresses online I knew right away that they were different from any others I had seen. Didn’t know if it would be my style but when I showed up I fell in love with more than one dress. Vanessa and her team are extremely helpful and absolutely the sweetest! If you have any doubts on where to purchase your dream dress Vanessa is the one! Excellent customer service! Thank you for everything Vanessa!

Vanessa and stylist Liz were such a great help and were very knowledgeable about all the different dress styles which made it easy to narrow it down to what would look great on me. They made it an intimate experience with my family & bridal party & all her dresses are so gorgeous & so detailed! Highly recommend!

V A is beyond my expectations. She has class and style. Prompt service with attention to detail. She should be your first and last call.

Vanessa is AMAZING! truly a master of her craft. All of her dresses are beautiful. The attention to detail is impeccable. After going to multiple places and seeing pretty much the same dress over and over again I was desperate for something to really catch my eye. Not only is she super attentive but when I told what I was looking for she nailed it! and her pricing is everything. I cant wait to walk down the isle in one of her dresses

It was my first time trying bridal gowns. Vanessa the owner made my experience unforgettable. She is very helpful and listen to what you have to say about the detail of the dress your looking for. She made my feel comfortable the whole time I was there. I had plenty of time to choose and try on the dresses. I never felt rushed which is a plus. I highly recommend brides to come you won’t be disappointed!

Ladies ... please listen to me when I tell you that you won't find a better dress anywhere else !!!!! All of her dresses were drop dead gorgeous...unique....and at a fair price. If you want to stand out and make a statement with your wedding dress please come see Vanessa. I'm telling you she's making better dresses then anything you've seen at any other shop! It's very obvious she loves what she does and puts time and attention on your experience. You wont feel rushed and she makes you feel like youre royalty . I had 6 other shops lined up after her appointment and immediately canceled all of them because I found the dress of fairytales with Vanessa!!!

Vanessa and her team are the best of the BEST!! She is so nice and makes sure to take her time with her clients. Her designs are amazing and beautiful. Nothing like I had ever seen in other bridal shops. I would recommend to check her out 100% you won’t regret it.

I went to a large supplier of wedding dresses before I contacted Vanessa Alfaro Bridal & Couture, and basically, the stylist there was sweet, but not very educated. She wanted to compliment me on every dress, but wasn't very helpful finding what flattered my figure the most, and she was very eager to close the sale. When I made the appointment with Vanessa and Liz, I was so nervous. I am not a huge fan of trying clothes on, and I definitely do not like to be under the watchful eyes of others, but as soon as I arrived at her boutique, I noticed how gorgeous it was. It was welcoming, warm, and spotless! Not to mention, how beautifully decorated the place is. Vanessa found dresses which accentuated the right places, and distracted the eye from the other not so flattering places. I found my dream dress here. Additionally, she has been so helpful and understanding with any of my questions, and is mindful of my budget as well. They made my visit so memorable, I had not previously known that was important to me, but it is. Vanessa definitely cares about the people she dresses, and she has such a natural eye for what works with each body. Liz was so sweet as well, and absolutely helped calm my nerves. If anyone is looking for a one of a kind experience, please look no further than Vanessa Alfaro Bridal & Couture.

Vanessa and her assistant were pure magic! My fiance booked an appointment for me because I was not in love with my wedding dress that I had bought previously from another vendor. I went in with an open mind, and I was blown away by all the choice available on hand to try on. All of them with extra details and embellishments. The beading alone on some of these dresses had to take forever because quality is top notch! If you love sparkle and want to feel like a glam bride, this is your one stop shop. On top of hundreds of gowns, she has everything to accessorize and polish the look, from veils, tiaras, jewelry sets, and more. I ended up falling in love with a mermaid dress with gorgeous lace overlay details. I feel beautiful in it and love how it fits my frame perfectly! It's I dress I never would have picked for myself, but am so happy Vanessa pulled it for me to try on. She really has an eye for wgat looks good and is incredible at her craft of dressing the female form. Thanks to Vanessa and her team, I am one VERY happy bride to be!

Great service. If you want a dress where the details matter, Look no further. Looking forward to seeing my daughter in law to be in her beautiful custom gown.

I had the most amazing experience working with Vanessa and Liz! Upon arrival, my party and I were greeted and given water. We spoke about my likes and dislikes for my wedding gown, and I was able to choose a variety of styles to try on. Let me say this, my dislikes in gowns turned into my wants! The room to try on the gowns was so lovely! It made me feel like a star. This was the first and only place I went to try for Wedding Gowns. And I said YES TO THE DRESS of my DREAMS!!!!  Thank You!

Vanessa made dress finding experience more amazing then I expected! She was so personal and professional and her dresses WOW nothing that I've ever seen anywhere, they are so beautiful and unique and stunning and her ability to design to fit you style and body! I'm just still so excited from the experience.

The best costumer service ever, Vanessa is amazing and her assistant too, they really made this experience for me unforgettable (in the best way possible) thank you!

Vanessa’s team was amazing. From beginning to end, they were informative, welcoming, and very patient. If you are looking for a beautiful, custom made dress that is budget friendly, Vanessa Alfaros boutique is the place to go.

Vanessa Alfaro and her team were nothing short from amazing. I absolutely love her!!!! They were so attentive to me and my bridal party. They catered to all of my needs and had me try on many different types of dresses and vails all with in my budget. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone of my family and friends!

A true hidden gem in the IE! Vanessa Alfaro turned her home into the most beautiful bridal boutique I’ve ever seen! It can easily rival any Beverly Hills boutique as far as style, but with more affordable price tags. Not only did I find the wedding dress of my dreams, Vanessa really worked with my budget. She also has bridesmaids dresses! This place is a one-stop shop. She is truly a professional and one of the most talented designers I’ve ever met! I can’t wait for my future husband to see me in my custom, one-of-a-kind gown!

Vanessa was amazing. Her dress selections was exactly what I was looking for. She had so many choices and the styles were just breathtaking. I’m so happy with my dress and how fast she was able to get it for me since I am eloping.

Vanessa and Liz both were great! All her dresses are beautiful and a great price. I went to a few bridal boutiques before hers and there was not one dress that I fell in love with. At Vanessa Alfaro boutique every dress I seen and styles that I wouldn’t even think to get we’re drop dead gorgeous. I would definitely recommend going to her first and I promise you won’t waste your time.

I worked with Katherine & absolutely LOVED the entire appointment with her. For someone who has been to multiple places looking for the perfect wedding dress, I not only enjoyed my time but found it!! She was a life saver & would recommend this cute boutique to anyone. Not only do they find the best dress for you, but will even customize it to your own preferences!!

You MUST check out this place, I cannot recommend Vanessa enough. Her meticulous attention to detail, her passion for what she does shows through in every single dress she creates. I felt like a bride, she helps you with literally everything and your appointment is strictly about you, she doesn’t book other appointments while you are there. I recommend this place a million times over, she will customize any dress you like, her prices are beyond reasonable. I’m even going to have her custom make my bridesmaids dresses. She is AMAZING!!!!!!!

Vanessa is a wedding dress goddess! She had the most beautiful dresses in her show room that it was so difficult to only pick one dress. I went in thinking I was only going to “shop around”, but I left leaving a deposit for the dress of my dreams. Vanessa was extremely patient, welcoming and so easy going. I felt like I was at home with her. She works with your vision and budget. I will definitely be recommending her to my friends and family.

Hands down to the most amazing wedding dresses designer!!! She custom made my dream dress with so many details!! the entire dress was hand beaded!!!! she created a digital design of my dress and hand beaded the fabric to perfection! the beading was exactly as her sketch! She over delivered and worked within my budget. I was sooo happy that I cried when I saw my dress! I received so many compliments and felt the most beautiful bride thanks to Vanessa Alfaro!
