This was my second dress search. I have purchased from Wendy's before and worked with Michelle prior. I was ecstatic to work with her again!
She treats you like you are the most important person in the room! She was genuinely super excited that I found THE DRESS! She is amazing at finding your vision and working with it until you get the right dress. I love this place!
Jen was my consultant and found the perfect dress for me! I had tried on so many dresses in many different styles and she pointed one out that I fell in love with. Very nice selection of dresses and really made it about what I loved! Highly highly highly recommend!
As a plus-size Bride, going to find my dress was a bittersweet feeling. Going into Wendy's I was greeted with nothing but kindness and inclusivity. Michelle was amazing at helping me in and out of the dresses. She helped me find the style that I loved. Every person I had an interaction with was very kind and willing to help with anything I needed. They made the trying and buying process very easy and had all the information I needed ready to go! I recommend Wendy's to everyone.
Found my dress and cannot thank Michelle and staff for how wonderful they were. This was the first shop we went to, and despite 4 other shops — I loved the dress I tried on there. Michelle made me feel absolutely beautiful and was so excited I chose the dress I chose. She even let me try it on 3 different times. My experience was truly magical and I cannot wait to wear my dress on my big day!
Loved the atmosphere and the staff. I didn’t end finding the right dress for me at Wendy’s, but wouldn’t have hesitated to buy from them had I found it there. They were very sweet and caring. Jordan was very knowledgeable and helped me feel extremely comfortable. They also had plenty of affordable dresses. Definitely don’t hesitate to book an appointment with them!
Michelle was my consultant and was the absolute best. I saw a negative review on here about her which is outrageous. She’s cognizant of budget which is very helpful with bridal gowns, and did not give up on helping me find my dress when I had little to no direction going in there. When another bridal party started picking apart the dress I tried on and I started crying, she handled it professionally and made me want to continue the appointment when the rude strangers made me want to just go home. Michelle also helped to create my dream dress by custom ordering a few things on an already perfect gown. I could not recommend Wendy’s enough, especially Michelle. She made sure I felt like a bride, and I can’t wait to pick up my dress from her.
I had the best experience at Wendy's Bridal!
My first time ever trying on dresses was at David's Bridal and it did not go well at all. I left feeling very discouraged with zero confidence. Wendy's was a night and day difference. There were so many beautiful dresses. I thought the layout of the dresses within the store was very organized and easy to go through based on size and style. I walked in picked out a couple dresses myself, and then met Jean who worked with me the rest of the afternoon. I showed her pictures that I found online, she glanced at them and knew exactly where to go and grab whatever she thought I would like. Jean made me feel like a queen. I felt beautiful in every single dress that I tried on. I truly believe she was the reason that I had such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her!
It was a genuine and comfortable place to find my dress! The options were definitely smaller than other salons, but the options were all beautiful, as opposed to having several dresses and only a few of them meeting my preferences. My mother and sister-in-law both found their wedding dresses here and now I get to share in their beloved experience of Wendy’s Bridal!
My experience at Wendy's wasn't bad per se, but it was just ok. My mom had got her dress from Wendy's back in the day, and they seemed to be friendly and have a wide variety of dresses, so I decided to try this shop as one of two places to try for my wedding dress when all my bridesmaids were in town. My consultant was friendly, but I don't feel like she really got a sense of my style and helping me find something that was truly me. I felt rushed to choose between options that I wasn't really in love with. I also didn't like that they couldn't give me the name of the dress, in order to see if I could find it anywhere else for a better price. They could only give me the designer/brand name and their specific store UPC number for the dress. Lastly, at the other store I went to, the consultant laid the dress out carefully with a clear hole for me to step into and then she would bring the dress up around me, so I didn't step all over the dress while trying to get into it. At Wendy's, my consultant did not seem to take as good of care with the dress, leaving me to fumble through the dresses myself, stepping on excess fabric, and nearly tripping at times.
I had the best experience. She made me feel beautiful. Was not pushy. Worked with me and all of my difficulties with 0 complaints! Highly recommend stopping by here to shop. Can’t wait to bring my dress home!
Wendy's is wonderful! I went in on a mission for a specific dress and my consultant, Michelle, found it for me. I fell in love with it. Unfortunately, a few months before my wedding, I found my dress to be extremely water damaged at the location I was storing it. I called Wendy's in tears to discuss my situation and they were so helpful. We ended up finding the EXACT same dress in the same size, color, etc. It was a miracle. They were able to get me the new dress within a matter of DAYS. I am so beyond grateful for the staff after that traumatic experience. I highly recommend them!
When I came to Wendy’s bridal three weeks ago, it was the first bridal shop I had checked out. I was excited to try on dresses for the first time. The staff at the front were friendly and seemed understanding when I said I’d ideally like to spend around $1000 and that I was getting married in three months. However, when the consultant Michelle came over, and I said the same thing, she seemed very dismissive and basically told me I wouldn’t find anything there, except for maybe some of the clearance dresses and that three months really isn’t enough time (I have since planned almost everything in two weeks because I just want a small and intimate wedding). I said I still wanted to look around. She wasn’t helpful as I looked around and was really more in the way, saying things like “so you’re not really finding much?” when I had just tagged a wedding and then “That dress is $1,200, you sure you can do that?” My friend was ready to leave after her poor treatment and while I must admit, it felt like the clip from Pretty Woman, I was there to try on dresses and no one was going to stop me doing this. I have good self confidence, so I didn’t let it phase me, but I can imagine how devastating this experience could have been to many brides. Once she took me to the dressing room with four dresses, her attitude did get better and she was more helpful. Maybe she realized she was being dismissive or maybe it’s because she saw my $450 Kate Spade purse and figured I could spend more, I’ll never know. She was fine after that, minus her mask hanging down half of the time, which seems ironic in a shop that specializes in items fitting perfectly. I left seeing a dress that I liked that was $1,200, but wanting to find a better dress because I really didn’t want to give her my business after her poor treatment. Fortunately, my next shop was at Something New, Borrowed, and Blue, where my consultant was very accommodating and actually helped me find dresses in my preference vs getting in the way. I ended up buying a dress for $1,300 from SNBB and would have felt extremely comfortable buying my second choice dress at SNBB for $1,400 as I was very torn between these two. It’s unfortunate that the Wendy’s consultant judged me as soon as I said my ideal price. The only reason I am giving Wendy’s a two star is because the other staff were nice when I got there.
THE BEST bridal shop! So helpful and I finally found my dress!!
I worked with one of the managers and she was phenomenal! I picked some dresses and she pulled some others for me and I bought my dress that day! I felt like she really listened to what I wanted and didn’t want and stayed true to my budget! These dresses are amazing as well!! I loved my experience!!
I worked with Michelle and she was super helpful and listened to what my likes and dislikes were. I ended up with the most beautiful dress. The whole staff was friendly and attentive. Wendy’s has a great selection of designers. I highly recommend you to visit Wendy’s!
Jean at Wendy’s Bridal is so SO wonderful! I came in with my parents over the weekend and she helped me find the perfect dress. She was so helpful and really listened to what me and I felt comfortable in and what my style was. 1000/10 would recommend Wendy’s and even more Jean ♥️
Found a beautiful dress here! They were all very friendly and helpful. Definitely would recommend you check this shop out when looking for that perfect dress!
Wendy's Bridal was AMAZING to work with!!! They were not originally on our list when visiting the Reading Bridal District, but after visiting two other smaller boutiques that just didn't feel right, we stopped by Wendy's on a whim. They were more than accommodating and took me in right away even without an appointment. I found my dream dress and the process of trying on, purchasing, and picking up was a breeze! I would recommend Wendy's Bridal to all brides.
Found the perfect dress for the perfect day. Our stylist was so helpful and really was on my side when it come to what I was looking for vs listening to what my entourage had in their mind. I could have picked a dozen of their beautiful dresses! So many options.
I placed an order with Wendy’s bridal for four bridesmaids dresses. All four dresses arrived on time however three of those dresses were an entirely different dress. The manager at the time seemed to be sincere in her apology and assured Me that they would take care of it. This was early July. The correct dresses did not arrive until August 1. I get married in September and my bridesmaids will now have to scramble to get alterations completed. I asked the manager if there could be anything done to assist with the alterations due to the inconvenience of having to wait an additional month to receive the proper dresses. The managers response was not the issue. The fact that they contract out the alterations is not the problem either. The problem that I have with Wendy’s bridal as the fact that that manager(different than the first one) made absolutely zero attempt to even act as if she was concerned with the fact that I was put out by their mistake. When she delivered her response it was very dismissive and almost as if It were an inconvenience to her that I requested a way to resolve this and remedy it so that I felt valued. No attempt was made. On the way out she pat me on the shoulder in a very sterile and uncaring way saying good luck with your wedding with a tone that made me feel as if she were shooing me out of her store like I was a bother. Would I ever recommend Wendy’s bridal to anyone? They had a good selection, and were professional, until today.
I had a traumatizing experience here. I had recently found a dress I had loved at another store and was trying to see if we could find anything to "top" it. I showed the consultant a picture, told her my budget, and she immediately grabbed a dress that was dead on what I was looking for! I was thrilled! I put it on, started to fall in love with it, and then got a little stressed. I didn't want to make a bad decision! I teared up a little and needed some time to sit in the dress and consult with the people I brought with me. My consultant sat and watched me struggle and cry over the decision and only then did another consultant walk by and mention the dress was $1900... $400 over my budget. I looked at my consultant sheepishly looking back at us- ashamed that she had gotten caught. What kind of person watches a bride CRY over the stress of the decision while HIDING the price of the dress??! Talk about emotional trauma. She clearly was just trying to make a sale and didn't care about me at all. I cannot stress how TRAUMATIZING the whole experience was. She tried to make up for it by lowering the price to $1686, but this was still above my budget and she only tried this after she was caught hiding the real price. I cannot believe Wendy's would put someone like this on their staff.
I was anxiously awaiting all of the bridal stores to reopen due to quarantine, which made me even more nervous about my first-time dress shopping. Michelle at Wendy's Bridal made me feel completely comfortable and pulled a lot of great dress options for me. I felt she really listened to my family members and me. We found my dress quickly, it was the fourth one I tried on! The store is really nice and had a lot of options for different styles.
You have to wear a mask and can only bring a total of 4 people, but I was thankful to be able to shop and have the dress in time for my wedding. Michelle even took the time to give us advice on our bridesmaid dress options.
I had originally scheduled an appointment in March, but at the last hour or so it felt...I had to call and cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. I explained it was not covid related, and I’d reach out again when I was ready. I recently rescheduled my appointment and they worked with my needs so that I could have the best experience bridal dress shopping ever. I said YES to the dress and so far I’ve not had any issues.
I had an amazing experience at Wendy's with Michelle as my bridal consultant back in June 2019. The selection of dresses here is amazing and absolutely beautiful. Michelle really helped me to figure out my style and kept things really on track in the yes/no pile, and then making the ultimate decision! I came out smiling so wide and so incredibly obsessed with my dress! Everyone had a great time trying on dresses for about 2 hours, and I was lucky and had the store to myself!
The dress arrived a little earlier than planned, and we had no issues! The custom length on the gown was perfect and helped me to save a lot of cost on alterations (my gown had a LOT of lace and beading detail). The pickup was easily scheduled and there were no issues with the dress. My experience was great!
Thank you!
Not LGBTQ+ friendly at all. My consultant was extremely friendly at first until she had started asking questions about my wedding and I mentioned my female fiancee. After that I felt rushed and like I was an annoyance/unwelcome. I had picked my five dresses to try on and after the 4th, the consultant tried to tell me I was done. I had to point out my last dress to try on. The second I walked back into the room the consultant told me to get dressed. I was told upon arrival after the first five the consultant would pull dresses for me once she had a sense of what I was looking for. I left feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Kathleen was so amazing and so very helpful. She allowed me to try on dresses multiple times and spent extra time trying to figure out my style and what I want! Would recommend her!
I would absolutely recommend Wendy’s Bridal to all brides out there! Jean is absolutely fabulous, patient, funny, and extremely accommodating! She gives all of her attention to you and your needs and makes you feel like you are the sole customer which gives of a very intimate and comfortable feeling which I did not always feel at other stores. Overall I had a WONDERFUL experience!
I would recommend Wendy’s bridal to every bride out there searching for the perfect dress! Tiffany was beyond professional and helped me find my dream wedding dress. She offered a lot of great feedback and allowed me all the time I needed before saying Yes to the dress. I can’t wait until the dress is ready for pickup!! My sister had a good experience there 6 years ago and the staff did an exceptional job. I knew I wouldn’t regret when I also chose to go back and find my dress.
Gene was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and made everything stress-free and was so much fun! Trying to find the perfect dress for you can be so difficult. Gene is great at listening to what you like and don't like and finding what fits you. She in fact is the one that picked out my dress and I absolutely love it! I had been to 5 different dress stores and she by far was my favorite. As they say there is only one dress for you, I believe there is only one dress consultant and Gene was certainly mine!
My experience at Wendy’s was amazing!! Kathleen was so helpful and made me feel so special. I went to another shop that day before Wendy’s and had a really bad experience. Went to Wendy’s after they happened to have an appointment cancellation and offered me the appointment for that time. Kathleen was amazing, she helped me try on every dress and even helped me pull a few she thought I might like. She was there every step of the way, and even ended up picking the dress I felt best in. I am definitely thankful she made it so amazing for me! Would highly recommend going there and asking for her!
My experience at Wendy’s was amazing! Kathleen was so helpful and made me feel so special. I went to another shop that day after Wendy’s and had a really bad experience. Went back to Wendy’s after and ended up re-trying a dress on and found the one. Kathleen was very patient and answered all my questions. And was there every step of the way! Definitely thankful she made it so amazing for me! Would highly recommend them. I also think they have a wide selection of dresses to pick from.
I didn't get my actual dress here, only my tiara which is what this review is based on. My tiara shopping experience was easy and fast, and I ended up finding the perfect one! The ordering process was easy, and while it took longer to come in than expected it still arrived on time. The reason for a loss of a star is when I picked it up, the woman who I dealt with was not very friendly and acted as though we were a burden to her. Overall, my tiara was beautiful, fairly priced, and I would recommend them for accessories.
Absolutely loved shopping at Wendy's. Tiffany made me feel really special while trying on dresses and she listened to my feedback!
The staff was not friendly. I was told by my consultant that because I did not pull many dresses that I should just leave and not shop their. I would not recommend. They were not helpful.
Kathleen was awesome! I came in for an appointment with just my mom and aunt and set up another time to come back with my future mother-in-law and some friends, and she was so incredibly friendly and helpful! I couldn’t decide between two dresses and she let me put each one on with a veil and headpiece to compare, and really made it easy for my to make my decision. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! SO HAPPY that I said yes to my dress at Wendy’s!
Michelle was great! She helped me find the perfect dress and she was not pushy! I would highly recommend Wendy’s bridal!
Went to Wendy's Bridal today for a wedding dress for my granddaughter. What a fabulous experience with Michelle!
She helped us find the perfect dress that would be available for a wedding in a few months. She was kind, upbeat and made the bride to be feel very comfortable! She knew just the right size, and fit for her figure. I recommend Wendy's very highly. We are thrilled with the dress and the service!
My expectations were beyond exceeded at Wendy’s bridal. I shopped Saturday the 4th. It seemed pretty busy but that didn’t stop the employees from being attentive. I was blessed with Michelle as my consultant. She has been working at Wendy’s for over 20 years. She made me feel so special, all her attention was on me, and she really cared about helping me find my perfect dress. She only pulled dresses in my budget $1000-$1300 & didn’t make me feel bad about my budget. she gave honest feedback. She helped my change in the dressing room so my family could just relax and wait to see me come out in the dresses. She realized it was a big decision and didn’t make me feel bad about waiting a few hours to decide. Moral of the story my experience here was wonderful because of Michelle, she wasn’t a pushy sales woman she really cared about me and my opinions. I said yes the the dress & I cannot be more thrilled! They had a HUGE selection of dresses in many different sizes and styles and prices and let you try on as many as you want without feeling rushed. If you’re not sure where to start, don’t waste your time going anywhere else.
We had so much fun shopping at Wendy's Bridal! We were well taken care of throughout the day. Jean was fantastic!
I had a great experience at Wendy’s! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Michelle is awesome! I would recommend Wendy’s to anyone!
Although I did not select Wendy’s Bridal as my wedding choice, their impact on my experience is one worth noting. I did want to highlight their level of professionalism and attention to detail. I met representatives at an Ohio bridal show and they were warm, inviting, and went above and beyond to fine tune what I was ultimately looking for.
I had just recently had my appointment at Wendy’s. My gown stylist was Michelle. When me and my group first got there I was a little nervous. Not knowing what fit my body or what i would even look good in. Michelle introduces herself right away and was all smiles. She totally eased my mind and apprehension! Michelle was very accommodating. When it came to trying in dresses, being undressed in front of others is something I am 100% uncomfortable with. But Michelle was so professional and quick about the dress changes. Michelle listened to each concern about each dress that me and my group had, and just when I was about to call it quits, Michelle pulled one more dress out and said— just try this one for me. I immediately cried and ended up picking Michelle’s gown. I am so thankful for her! We chose the gown of my dreams and even a beautiful veil to go with it. I could not recommend Wendy’s enough. If you haven’t been, just trust me when i say go!!! It was an amazing experience.
I had a great experience at Wendy’s Bridal. I was greeted and sent searching for dresses quickly. I loved that the store was set up by style. It made it easier to find what I was looking for. I worked with two consultants at different times of the day. Both were amazing and helped me find what I was looking for.
I came here at the beginning of november bringing 5 of my family members and friends which they were able to accommodate without issue. they provided me with free range with picking out dresses to try on and Tiffany my consultant asked if i wanted her to pull a few dresses for me to try on in addition to my picks. I felt very at ease during my appointment and no pressure to make a purchase on the spot. I did end up buying my dress from this salon and couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend.
My appointment at Wendy’s was absolutely amazing! I found the perfect wedding dress. Michelle was so helpful and made this day very enjoyable for my family and I.
I made an appointment for 2:30pm at Wendy's Bridal for Friday, October 18th, 2019. It was my very first time trying on dresses and I was nervous. I am considered a plus size (size 18 in jeans and 20 in wedding dress) which made it a little difficult to find a dress in my size to fit. When we first arrived, consultants were running around looking confused so I am assuming was going on before we got there. Therefore, I gave them the benefit of the doubt when it took a while to get my appointment started. But my main reason for the 1 star is because of our treatment. My consultant, Jean, started to stay negative things to me in the fitting room about my grandmother and best friend. I decided to ignore her comments, only responding once with "I brought them because I wanted their honest opinion". I did find a dress that I fell in love with, it was two sizes too small and my grandma couldn't picture what it would look like fitted and she expressed that. When she did, Jean leaned into my mother and asked my mom if she could "make grandma shut up." I was mortified to see the look on my mom's face when Jean whispered that to her and I was so embarrassed because I was going to ignore Jean's negative comments and never tell my grandma or friend what she was saying, but her nastiness came out of the fitting room when she said that. I can tell when someone is looking out for my best interest and when someone is trying to sell something to me. A wedding dress is a big purchase and should be coupled with an unforgettable experience. Mine is definitely unforgettable, just not in the way brides hope for. We decided that day to leave and we went back out the next morning. I was accepted into another bridal store, called Love Curly Bridal, within the bridal district the next morning without an appointment and my experience was a million times better and I purchased a dress that I adore and it fits my personality perfectly! I loved both dresses equally (they were the same designer) but ultimately we decided to put our money where we trusted our consultant!
Consultant was very helpful. I was torn between two dresses and she put me back into each of them 3 times with no complaints.
I found my perfect dress else where. But the price was outrageous. I turned to Wendy's Bridal and was greeted by Michelle. She knew exactly what dress I needed, let me try it on and gave me a great deal!! She even followed up with a cute congrats email after the purchase. I love their selection and service.
The consultant was very helpful . She picked out dresses similar to the style I was interested in and ended up finding the most beautiful dress ! The entire process was amazing .
Great Experience, lots to choose from. Tiffany was very personable and helped find dresses in the style i was looking for.
Amazing selection and people. It was a joy to be there and they worked with my budget!
I only had to try on a total of three dresses before I found the one! All the employees were extremely nice and helped me find what I was looking for, given I was a nervous wreck. I didn't think I wanted a veil for my wedding, but they asked me to try it on just for fun, and I looked so beautiful with it! My bridal party also had such a fun time trying on bridesmaids dresses whole I was busy looking! The atmosphere makes you feel comfortable. 5/5!!
Wendy’s was amazing and Michelle is definitely the best consultant out there! I walked in early for my appointment after leaving a disaster of an appointment down the street. They were so nice to take me early and assure me they would take care of everything. Michelle helped me pull dresses that I liked and knew exactly what dress to put me in next based on my critique of the dress prior. I can not thank Wendy’s enough for making my day so much better and helping me find my dream wedding dress in budget! I would tell everyone looking for a wedding dress to skip the rest of the stores in the bridal district and go straight to Wendy’s!
Great store! I found a GORGEOUS dress in my price range, but it was a size too big and a bit long so Michelle clipped the dress in the back for me to show what it would look like fitted and found a great slip to make the dress flare out a little and fix the length issue without hemming. She was kind, obviously experienced, and just the right balance of helpful but not pushy. I had some bad experiences before this, but I managed to find a beautiful dress at this store (they have a great collection and let you look around without rushing you or hovering over you), and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you!
I had my appointment with Tiffany and she was INCREDIBLE. I went to many different shops before this one, with horrible experiences. She made me feel very comfortable the entire time, and went above and beyond what I expected. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
I had a great time wedding dress shopping with my mom at Wendy’s! Michelle was very helpful, knowledgeable, and not pushy at all! Highly recommend!
I loved my visit to Wendy’s Bridal! Jean was an amazing & provided so much help!! She helped me find the right dresses to try on that really suited me well, even though all the dresses were gorgeous. I highly recommend Wendy’s & especially working with Jean!
My experience with Wendy's was great! Michelle was my consultant and she was so nice and helpful throughout the entire process. I had a style in mind and she helped bring everything to a reality. There was a great selection of dresses to choose from and everything was well organized. I am so happy with my decision. I had another appointment with a different salon scheduled right after and I cancelled it as soon as I walked out of the door. I highly recommend Wendy's.
Wendy's gave me a wonderful dress shopping experience! The store itself had a great selection of bridal gowns size 16 and up, so I was able to actually see what the gown would look like on my body.
Michelle was my consultant and she was amazing! She was warm, welcoming, and patient. She was able to find exactly what I was looking for, even though I was not totally sure what that was! I am very excited to wear my gown for our February wedding!!
I had a wonderful experience dress shopping!! Everyone was helpful and very nice. I live a bit away and due to traffic ended up being late for my appointment. This was not a problem at all, they were very accommodating. I ended up finding my perfect dress for a very reasonable price!!!
