I went to Allegria after a terrible experience with another salon. I wish I had started with Allegria as this was the experience I thought that I would have dress shopping. Everyone was wonderful and attentive and the salon was intimate and beautiful. Marina understood that I was stressed and made it her mission for me to not only find my perfect dress, but to enjoy the experience. I ended up finding a dress that I loved and was a totally different vision than I had gone in with. I was three months to my wedding at this point and they were able to rush order it with plenty of time for alterations. Even with the rush order, it was still within my budget. I worked with Maria downstairs for alterations who took care to ensure that the dress fit perfectly. They checked in throughout the process to ask about accessory appointments and dress preservation in a way that has been helpful and not pushy. I loved my dress and felt so beautiful and comfortable in it all day - big thanks to Marina, Barb and Maria!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I had the best experience finding my perfect wedding gown with Allegria Bridal. Barb knew EXACTLY what I was looking for and was able to find me the most stunning dress and I even canceled another bridal shop appointment I had as a backup because I knew she found me the one. The process was stress free and easy because of Barb and Allegria Bridal and they are the reason I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. Barb let me try on as many dresses as I wanted and I did not feel pressured to purchase that day if I did not want to. My mom was with me and even mentioned how easy and fun the process was and she knew instantly Barb had helped me find the perfect dress. I even used them for gown cleaning and preservation after.I also went with their alteration services and Luciane of Boston was amazing to work with! The process was stress free and I enjoyed every appointment with Luciane. She scheduled as many appointments as we felt were best and even created a video for my train for my matron of honor. Luciane made the perfect alterations and my dress fit like a dream.I can't say enough great things about Barb and Allegria Bridal and Luciane of Boston. They contributed to my wedding day being so perfect and I highly recommend them!

I had the most wonderful experience choosing my wedding gown at Allegria Bridal. I came here a few years prior with my cousin to pick out her dress, and the experience was nothing short of positive. The women were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable in their field, and didn't put an ounce of pressure on me to make a decision. Barb is extremely attentive, personable, and accommodating to anyone who walks into the store. I also was able to get my bridesmaid dresses here - a win-win. I couldn't recommend this place more highly for a bride-to-be!

An absolute must-go for a bride-to-be. Allegria Bridal has the most attentive, welcoming, accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable staff. The team makes sure you are comfortable throughout the entire trying on, purchasing, and post-purchase process. Barb and her team went above and beyond to make sure I had exactly what I needed for my big day. I would recommend this place highly to anyone that is in the Boston area (or Massachusetts - worth the drive)!

Allegria was a wonderful experience to find my wedding gown a few days ago! Compared to other stores, it was so much easier to focus here as we were the only party in the store at the time of my appointment. The staff let me try on as many dresses as I could find in the store, and were so knowledgeable about adjustments that could be made to each style. My one piece of constructive feedback is that the inventory here is on the smaller side. For me, it was incredible because I knew what I was looking for, but for a bride who wants a very wide selection of styles and designers, this could be a drawback (and why I gave 4 stars).All in all, I'd suggest this to anyone who wants an attentive, quiet experience while shopping (and already have suggested this store to multiple people in the 2 days since going)

I had a lovely time with Kristin as my stylist for my very first time trying on wedding gowns. She was incredibly kind to me and my mother, and was helpful and patient when I had questions or wanted to see other variations or wanted to try on additional accessories. When I tried on all my top choices again, she added all the different lengths of veil so I could get an idea of the whole picture. She gave me her honest and expert opinions and that was really meaningful to me! I had an amazing experience at Allegria!

I went to Allegria for my wedding dress and had a great experience! I was able to make an appointment right away, went with my bridesmaids and friends, and was well taken care of by the staff to look through as many dresses as I wanted. I was on a budget and they were very accommodating in helping me find something beautiful that was still within my budget - off the rack. It was a really fun experience and they were able to give great suggestions for accessories as well. I would highly recommend going to Allegria!

The staff at Allegria, including Barb, Gigi, and especially Luciane, were so wonderful to work with. I had been to several Boston bridal boutiques before our appointment at Allegria, but was actually enchanted with several of their dresses during the visit! They have a wonderful selection of timeless style dresses. The one I selected I am so pleased with, and wish I could wear it again! The fabric quality, the selection of the accessories they had to style it with, the top quality of the alteration services available on-site, and the service of all who worked with us make this a boutique I strongly recommend to brides in the Boston area. Had we not had two west coast bridesmaids who would not be able to travel to try on dresses, we would have also likely chosen bridesmaid dresses there, as they had a beautiful selection as well! Thank you so much again, Allegria!

Had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Allegria. Julie helped me pick my dream dress (she was so patient and truly helped me to pick the one that was perfect for me) and she also assisted in selecting our bridesmaids dresses. She made the whole process fun and stress-free! Luciane did my alterations and she is also just wonderful - such a sweet woman and ensured that my dress fit perfectly and that I was happy! It fit like a glove and felt confident in it!

Nichole was absolutely amazing as a consultant! I cannot say enough good things about our experience here. All the dresses were stunning and Nichole was wonderful to work with and knew exactly what to pull based on my preferences. Thank you!

I bought my wedding dress off the rack and several sizes too big, and Ling worked wonders! She achieved a beautiful fit, hemmed several layers to the right length, and devised a two-layer bustle to hold the train. She even color matched a perfect sash and buttons for the waist! Couldn’t be happier and would definitely recommend for alterations.

Julie from Allegria was extremely helpful throughout from the initial email exchange, first fitting, to the extended dress/veil storage during COVID times. She is knowledgeable, friendly and not overly pushy - allowing me time as long as needed. Allegria carries a wide range of elegant wedding dresses. (I had visited several bridal salons before this one, I definitely recommend Allegria.)As soon as I put on Legends Romona Kevena, I knew I found my dress (I couldn’t stop smiling). Julie also helped me pick a perfect veil. The veil arrived well before the wedding dress so Allegria held it for me. Then COVID was upon us and I had to try on my dress with a mask - I confessed a blue surgical mask just didn’t go with a wedding dress and a veil!! We decided to postpone so the entire ensemble went into long term preservation for a couple of years.Julie was very responsive to my questions regarding timing to re-try the dress for alteration, etc.She was also very accommodating when I wanted to try on the dress a few months ahead of the schedule - I was afraid it would not fit. Thank Goodness that was not the case and with the help of the local wedding alternation (Lucianne) - the dress and veil were perfect for our wedding.Lucianne added structure to the front of the dress, altered lace trim to the front so that it's more modest for the church while keeping to the silhouette of the dress. Of course, she also added bustles and perfectly trimmed the length. I also asked for additional lace to be added to the blusher part of the veil so that it has a little weight to it. It worked perfectly.I would highly recommend Allegria and their entire staff. Be guided by them and let them know if you have specific preferences, then let the magic happen.
