I’m honestly shocked that this place has such a low star rating. Please do not let that stop you!! We worked with Lisa this past weekend and she was beyond amazing. I had been to other places before and I was genuinely just going to look. We’ve...
“loved” dresses at other salons, taken pictures and then been like eh after looking at them more and more. Lisa made the whole experience so memorable for us, we ended up saying yes right there! We were all so surprised that my mom who was paying for the dress didn’t even bring her credit card lol. What I also appreciated was that Lisa took my measurements and I was in between sizes she didn’t pressure me to order up, or automatically order two sizes larger like another salon told me they did. She was upfront about what it would cost to be altered and overall just a happy, pleasant experience.

with another dress, the sales team was incredibly understanding and supportive. She brought in several different types of dresses to narrow down what style I wanted and once we had that down, she brought in dress after dress. Not only did I LOVE my dress, but she found one that was actually way under my budget! I was never pushed to go above my budget, which I loved, because I had been to other shops where that’s all they did. I had my alterations done here as well, and while I thought they were a little pricey, it was a pandemic and I knew their shop was clean. Overall I highly recommend this bridal shop!

I am aware that many bridal salons have poor reviews, given unhappy customers that are mostly likely to write them, however, I am here to write another bad review. The women running Village Bridal are extremely unprofessional for starters. Seco...
ndly, my girls dresses were very poorly altered - while they were supposed to be form-fitting, they were loose and long. One girl mentioned during her pick-up that the dress was larger in certain areas than she hoped, and the women literally replied “oh well - you will have to eat a lot in the next couple of weeks and hold you bouquet to cover that area.” Additionally, I had nine bridesmaids - and one bridesmaids dress was dyed the wrong shade even though they were all ordered in a group order to get - so the $10k+ that I spent on photos and videos were negatively impacted as one of my girl’s dresses did not match all of the others - it was really terrible. When the salon was informed of this error, they denied any fault. I could go on and on - but overall, please avoid using this store - they are poor in quality and service. I will end with one positive - given the number of women in my party - the salon was willing to price match a competitor and saved the women $40 per gown, however, in retrospect, I would have much rather spend the money elsewhere to have all the gowns ordered appropriately and color-match.

We did have to wait a bit during veil shopping for them to find my dress, but they made up for it with a 15% discount off the veil! I was so happy I didn’t buy it the same day since I was originally going for fingertip, but changed my mind to cathedral! I went back with my bridesmaids and found their dress there as well! They let me try on the sample dress again to show my girls my dress! I came back at a later date with my other sister who lives out of the country, and they were so accommodating. All alterations were done at Village Bridal by Effie except my sister who lives out of the country. They were so accommodating and everyone’s dresses fit perfectly. At my final fitting, I had an issue with the boning popping out around my bust from having it taken in. They had me wait in the waiting room with a robe while they fixed it. It came out absolutely perfect!

Just "ok". I actually ended up getting my wedding dress from Village Bridal for my September 2016 wedding, but only because I was in love with the dress - NOT because I loved this place. The sales women were actually good, and did a decent job...
of listening to what I wanted while still showing me some things outside of my "comfort zone". However, the tailoring on the dress was atrocious and barely passable for "good". I didn't have a choice but to use their tailor due to time constraints (I didn't have time to order the dress and then find someone new once it came in). However, the front was still too long after shortening it twice. The back never sat in the proper place, the chest area fell a bit too high (photos look fine but it was very uncomfortable), and the worst of all was that the custom ordered straps were sewn on so poorly and cheaply, they came apart halfway through my wedding. I literally had to go to the bathroom with 2 bridesmaids and put 14 safety pins in just to keep my strap held on so I could dance at my own wedding. I'm so disappointed in this place - if it weren't for the tailoring (especially the straps, which were crooked 1 week before my wedding and I think that's why they were so poorly sewn on during the actual wedding), they would have gotten 4 or 5 stars from me. Such a letdown.

Village Bridal and Boutique was a positive experience all around. I had excellent service while at my bridal appointment with Krissy and ended up purchasing the perfect dress for me! We were also interested in bridesmaid dresses from Village ...
Bridal, but were hesitant on the prices. Because we had brought prices from another salon that was more competitive (for both my dress and the bridesmaid dresses), Krissy did everything she could to give me the best prices possible, even giving me credit toward my veil as compensation. My mom was so pleased with the service she decided to come and get her dress here as well. Two of my sisters needed their dresses shipped to them and the office was able to help us with that as well. Theresa, the tailor has had about 30 years of experience and it was definitely helpful. My dress fit like a glove, and another dress was taken out, but still looked phenomenal. The times available for alterations were difficult, which required me to take some time off of work to make it. Overall, very positive experience! Everyone looked great in their dresses, and so happy that the salon could work with us on their pricing.

d bridal shop I went to when I had started dress shopping, and it was by far the most welcoming and elegant. We were helped by Krissy who was SO sweet and importantly, she stuck strictly to my budget. There was plenty of seating for family, there were tissues, and we were allowed to take pictures of the gowns (which some shops will not let you do). Krissy was so patient as I tried and re-tried on several dresses and my mom took numerous pictures. When I found "the dress" which was already in my budget, she gave me an even better deal on the gown and veil without me asking for any sort of discount. Once my dress came in, the ladies at Village Bridal let me come multiple times to try on the gown for my bridesmaids who lived out of town and wanted to see it when they came to visit. They said I could "visit the dress as much as I want". Additionally, I had a great experience with the alterations. Theresa was my seamstress and she did a WONDERFUL job and there are no scams with their capped prices. She gave me a beautiful bustle on my ballgown dress and even went back to hem it a little more after my third and final fitting and they allowed me to come back once more to try it on before picking up to make sure it was perfect. Please do not listen to all the bad reviews and give this place a chance. I would highly recommend them to any bride. They have a beautiful selection of gowns and a great staff with no hidden fees or scams. You hear about places screwing you over as soon as they get the full payment for the dress but these women remained so wonderful and sweet throughout the entire process!

Another, big plus for this place, is that I was able to bring 6 people with me. You just have to make an appointment and let them know.

When we told them we werent looking to try any gowns on, we are just browsing for styles and colors, the workers wanted little to nothing to do with us. They had asked my mother what color she was looking into, and while my mom is currently unsure, and their job is to help guide her with their expertise, they made negative remarks and rolled their eyes.

My fiance and I live in Manhattan and it is definitely a hike to plan to go out to Babylon. I explained my work schedule and that I didn't live locally. They didn't care. They were ironclad inflexible. "We ONLY do first fittings on this day, we ONLY do pickups on that day, the seamstress is NEVER here on xyz day..." on and on. I ended up having to take time off work for my second fitting. Like I needed to be using a vacation day right before I'm taking 2 weeks off for the wedding/honeymoon! They just wouldn't work with me at all. Worse than the scheduling fiasco was the pricing. They straight up LIED about how much certain alterations were going to cost. I was quoted a $250 flat rate for "all alterations". My dress needed ZERO body alterations - no letting in or out, no adjustments, nothing. The only thing I needed was a hem (about an inch) and an adjustment to the train. They quoted me $650 for this service. Not in my budget. Ended up having to skip the hem (hope I don't trip over my own feet during our first dance) and just go for the bustle. The store is very high end and the dresses are nice, but unless you live NEXT DOOR to the shop, don't count on being able to make an appointment that works for you, and unless you want to pay twice as much in alterations as you did for your dress itself, don't let them pick up a needle and thread until you have something in writing.

ly speak to their customer service regarding listening to what you are interested in and showing you possible choices. Their store is beautiful, clean and full of lovely dresses ranging in prices. The girl that helped me the day I bought my dress was friendly and helpful. I put my deposit down and couldn't wait for my dress to come in a few months later! I didn't want to start my fittings too soon as I was just starting to be strict about dieting and working out. So when my dress came in Feb. I knew I wasn't ready for any alterations. Village Bridal let me make an appointment just to see my dress and try it on for the first time. It was a little snug and I was really upset but the girls that were working that night were beyond nice. A few months later when I went for my first fitting it was a little big and the woman who did the pinning for the alterations and for my bustle was very nice and informative. However, I didn't realize that the bustle she suggested was pretty pricey. I figured it was a once in a lifetime thing and ended up paying close to $700 for all my alterations. The day of pick up, I was hoping to pick my dress up a little earlier than my scheduled time but the woman I spoke with was pretty unfriendly and told me no. Upon pick up, the woman who showed me my dress before paying the balance and leaving also was very unfriendly. Overall, Village Bridal had beautiful dresses and I couldn't be more happy with my dress the day of our wedding. Choices are pretty limited when it comes to buying/altering a wedding gown on Long Island at a reputable salon that doesn't have tons of negative reviews. I would def. suggest Village Bridal to other Brides who are shopping for a wedding gown. Also, one of my bridesmaids had a baby a few weeks before my wedding and when she tried on the dress the night before my wedding, it didn't fit. She bought her dress in Miami, not at Village Bridal. She brought her dress to Village Bridal to see if they could help her and they immediately got to work fixing it. The tailor stayed until almost 11:00pm making sure that the dress was okay and ready for my wedding the following morning. They really were her saving grace because I don't know what we would have done if it didn't fit and wasn't wearable!

I was recommended to Village Bridal through a family member who used them, which ended up giving me a discount - score! Upon first entering, before my consultant (I believe her name was Theresa) knew I had a connection, I will admit she made me...
feel a bit like Julia Roberts during her first visit to Rodeo Drive. When I told her my budget was $1000 she almost had a heart attack in front of me, and responded something to the affect of 'she wasn't sure if they had more than 1 or 2 at that price', followed by telling me and my girls to look around, "but be sure to look at the price tags". I almost walked out right there, but decided maybe she was just having a bad day?! Anyway, I ended up leaving with my dress purchased that day, so it all worked out. After hearing of my connection, they took $325 off of my dress to bring it down to my $1000 budget, and offered a discount on any veil from the shop. After that experience, I was always treated very well, and was extremely happy with my dress. My guests are still calling and complimenting it! Give them a try, but don't jump on the sticker price, as with most bridal shops, they will discount if they know you are serious.

Awful, awful experience. If I were ever to give a recommendation for this place, it would be to avoid it as long as it is staffed the same. Also, the dress I ordered was marked up there $60... (not a tragic amount, but still why mark it up???)...
Over a year ago, I went in looking for my wedding dress - I was 5 months pregnant at the time and wanted to get a dress before I was bigger and couldn't see how a dress looked. And, as a side, in normal jeans I was about a 12 at that point/medium size for my shirts. A little above average in the bottom department, but nothing out of the ordinary. When I made my appointment, I told the woman I was pregnant so I didn't have to show up and it be a surprise. When I walked in to the store, with my mother, Aunt and cousin, they initially looked confused that I was even there and took a minute to even acknowledge me. A few minutes later the consultant who had my appt came out and greeted me only (not acknowledging the crew with me) with the wrong name. Right there I knew I was headed for trouble. With barely any other words spoken besides my price point - she sends me and my crew to look for dresses by ourselves. No consultation on what i liked, nothing. We started pulling dresses and she made a fitting room. Once inside the fitting room with me she whispers "your pregnant? do they know?" Really. you think i'm shopping for my wedding dress 5 months pregnant and they don't? Yes i tell her...then the torture really began. She goes to help me into the first dress, it wont pass over my small but growing baby bump. I look at the size, 12 -- I was told i would probably go up at least one size in a wedding dress... so i ask the attendant about the sizing and she says - "oh these are the biggest sizes we have, we only have a few options in larger sizes". and insists on trying to squeeze me into the dress. For those of you never been pregnant before, your already a little emotional and conscious of your changing body. Needless to say I wanted to cry instead of getting into a dress that I would marry my husband in. Oh, and the comment that took the cake was "why don't you come back after the baby, maybe you should wait" She ended pulled a few dresses that they had in larger sizes and tried to tell me they all looked good on me, when clearly they were awful for my body. When i said, "maybe you are right I should wait" (just wanting to end this god awful experience) she told me to 'RELAX'...that was the moment i was done. I still cant believe I let that experience go on that long, but after she told me to relax (and I was actually very calm - my cousin later said to me she doesn't know how i remained so calm through it all) Not only did the attendant suck at greeting me, assisting me in something I wanted, or making my guests feel welcome, she actually made me feel bad about my body and self. After we left I went back to Bridal Suites in Bay Shore where my experience was 10x's better and ordered my dress. No bride-to-be should ever feel the way i did ESPECIALLY when you are trying on wedding dresses.

But I am convinced that they ordered the right size for me, and the bridesmaids as well. 3 of them needed NO alterations whatsoever, and the other 2 just a simple hem! The day of my first fittng, I felt kind of neglected by the salespeople, who were busy helping brides select a dress, and no one was available to help me select a veil that could accompany my dress. Later, when I returned for my second fitting, the wrong bustle had been sewn into my dress, but I called and spoke to a manager and this was corrected to my satisfaction!
