Wedding dress shopping for any bride can be extremely overwhelming. From the moment you walk into her shop, Vassa makes you feel completely welcomed and comfortable. I wasn’t sure the type of dress I wanted to try on but she being as knowledgeable and professional as she is, picked dresses for me which would fit my body type best. After trying on a few, I was excited to “yes” to the perfect dress. Even through a pandemic and a few postponements, the entire process with Vassa was seamless. My husband and I had a small intimate ceremony during the peak of Covid and then had our big reception party months later. Most brides only get to wear their gown one time but I was fortunate to wear mine twice. She was with me the entire way and I feel so lucky to have met her and gotten my gorgeous dress from her. Wedding Dresser Couture is an absolute true gem! 1000% recommend!!!!

Horrible store!! She makes promises n never returns calls. After disputing with credit card, she has $1000 of mine n will not return. Calls me 8 monthshi later with an arrogant attitude n wants to call cops because I want my mo ney back n asked merchandise credit. Strange lady and her dresses are fraud!!! No real names on them???? Won't let you take pictures??? What is she hiding??? What bridal store does that????

Horrible experience: small store, higher prices, attitude, no photography and a horrible work etiquette...Let me start from the beginning, I went in and was asked what I was looking for (like every other place)... I said I have a bunch of pictures of my favorites. I was not told about the "recording" policy (which none out of six other places had) until I put her first dress on.After trying on all my options she told me that "you could video chat with them” speaking of half of my bridal party that are out of state. (One thing I don't understand is, what's the difference? You can take photos that way either way..). On top of it the entire time she spoke about the stupid photography policy and complained thinking my Mom may have taken a video.Lucky for her? We couldn't get a good photo anyway and ultimately didn't go with her because of it. Keep in mind the store is so small I couldn't even fit my bridal party which maybe larger but I wouldn't have been able to fit a total of 10 people in there. It was tight just bringing the MOB.When I was walking out (clearly upset) after trying on multiple dresses she told me I could call back to bring everyone in...still not understanding. I ended up not giving a deposit that day ONLY because I couldn't show half of my bridal party since they are out of state.I went to another place yesterday and found the same dress for more than $600 less.After, I found out my attendant went and spoke negatively to the person who referred us saying we "recorded her the entire time" and my mother who didn't pick one dress out when she normal does help (knowing my style) was "too pushy". I'd love to see the proof of us recording her, since I still have no footage of the dress and all photos were deleted that day after her ranting about it.Horrible etiquette...the dresses are under lock and key. Nobody, including your mother can see if there is a dress you may like. Nobody can stand near the dresses besides the attendant and bride.

Can’t take pics so it’s a small chance you’ll remember what your top choice looks like and come back - it’s also a small boutique (enough only for a party of 3-4) with no AC - just fans and the door open. Vassa is nice and she tried her best to stay within my price range but I still give it an average rating because it wasn’t an ideal experience. She dresses you so you have to change in front of her. She said I should have called ahead if I was early(I arrived 15min before) because she would have told me to wait in the car but I definitely don’t remember her saying that I needed to that over the phone. I explicitly told her over the phone that I live in the city and had to take the LIRR but I think she forgot. Which makes sense because it took 4-5 calls of “phone tag” and voicemails to get a hold of her because every time she was able to call me back, I was unfortunately in a meeting. By the way, I asked over the phone about her no pic policy because I saw reviews mentioning that and I asked if she can make an exception to a top choice or something and she said we can talk about it in the store - she should have just said no she doesn’t make exceptions and I would have gone to a different boutique because even if I find a bridal dress I love, I need at least a couple of days to make sure it’s the one so I don’t have buyer’s remorse for something that costs a lot of money. Long story short - I get that it’s a small business but it wasn’t worth the long travel over. Just average

Vassa is amazing!!! She made the entire wedding dress shopping experience so personalized and seamless. She truly helped me find the perfect wedding dress for me. The dress I ended up choosing was not even the style I thought I wanted. She just knew based on my comments from trying on different dresses which dress I would love. She truly has a gift. Her talent with the alterations is incredible as well. My dress fit like a glove. I highly recommend her!!

Today’s visit was more than perfect. Vassa’s patience and kindness was more than I could imagine. I appreciated her care in making me feel comfortable and confident. Vassa takes her time and makes sure she shows every detail of the dresses. I didn’t feel rushed in any way. The dresses were all stunning. I enjoyed every second of my visit.

Vassa was amazing to work with. She was so willing to share her knowledge and expertise. She knew the exact dress to put my daughter in and she said, “yes to the dress!” Thank you so much, and we look forward to working with you!

I said YES! to my dress at Wedding Dresser Couture by Vassa. She is absolutely amazing at what she does. I was very anxious at my appointment and she picked up on it immediately. She made sure to make me feel comfortable, listened to everything I asked for, stayed in my budget, and did not pressure me at all. She did all of this while giving me the total ‘Bridal Experience' (private appointment in salon, wine, family/friends can come with you) and without feeling like you HAVE to go Kleinfeld's. Vassa is extremely talented with a gorgeous selection of dresses. Vassa knew my dress was THE dress before I did… she really knows people and her collection of dresses. She also altered my dress perfectly. If you are looking for your dream dress and your own bridal moment, I highly recommend Vassa

Vassa is the wedding dress Guru! It's the BEST experience I had while shopping for a dress. It is so much more personal and intimate than the factory/commercial dress places. If you want to feel your best and have confidence in the delivery/fitting department...You need Vassa!

Vassa made every step of my wedding gown experience magical! From the moment I stepped through her door, I felt like a princess. She made sure every detail was perfect, and that all my questions were answered - even the ones I didn't know I had. After looking at every several stores, I knew right away when I went here. Highly recommended!
