“Nilah did such a lovely job on my dress, she is a true craftsman. I had a very small wedding so I chose a simpler dress (from The Sample Rack in Philly) and she showed an incredible amount of care and detail to turn it into My dress. She made sure I knew exactly how to bustle it, and lay it for transport so that it wouldn't crease. She is very professional but still seemed genuinely happy for my and my bridal experience and I am so happy to have worked with her. (photos by @stillsbyhernan)
Edited to add - the dress was so beautiful that we all forgot that I even brought a veil. It would have been a crime to cover up any part of the dress anyways. It wasn't until I went to change into my reception dress that WELP....there the veil has been the whole time XD”

“I worked with Caroline and she NAILED it with the first dress. Tried on others but kept coming back to that first one. The entire process of fittings was so smooth and it fit so well come wedding day. I highly recommend Van Cleve for making something that’s a beautiful event in life so much more special.”
“This is a very long overdue RAVE. I genuinely cannot talk highly enough about Claire’s fashions. I had a short time frame for finding a dress (2.5 months). The very first time I tried on wedding dresses was this bridal shop, and I went home that day with my dress. I felt absolutely beautiful, and listened to throughout the entire process. After putting in my preferences online before the first appointment, I wasn’t sure what to expect. When I walked in, all of the options that they had pulled for me (in addition to the ones I had suggested) were quintessentially me which blew my mind. The process was easy, comfortable, and everything that I could have asked for. Thank you for making this such a memorable experience for me. ❤”
“Not only was there a great selection of dresses I had the BEST experience with Jennarose! She made me feel comfortable, didn’t rush me, listened to everything I wanted and helped me find my perfect dress. I couldn’t be happier from start to finish working with Jennarose! Highly recommend her!!!”
“I got my alterations done here for my wedding dress and my daughter’s bridesmaid dresses. Nadine is so kind and Pat (seamstress) was very patient and does great work!”
“Was nervous going to my first appointment to try on a dress but Gretchen and the rest of the team were wonderful! They have great selections here. I highly recommend this place”
“I found my mother of the groom dress at Occasions Boutique & Bridal Salon and am so happy Mia of Mia's Alterations recommended the boutique. Susanna went above and beyond in having the dress for me on time after a unfortunate experience elsewhere making my timeline limited. Susanna recommended a dress I had not intended on trying after trying several that I picked and it was perfect! Susanna has a great eye for style and color that work best for her clients. I appreciate her help and would highly recommend Occasions Boutique & Bridal Salon.”
“Janice and Irene worked with me to create the heirloom wedding dress of my dreams. They honored the family heirloom dresses I brought to them and incorporated my personal style into the new design. The dress is truly one of a kind and felt so much like me with loads of love and care incorporated into each step.”
“I originally started my wedding dress journey at EJ’s and found the idea of what I wanted but not exactly the right dress. Fast forward to many other shops, I went back to EJ’s when they got the Nicole and Felicia line. They were great about getting me an appt to try on the dress. I felt like the communication lagged a bit when I was trying to pick up my dress—dates got pushed back, which is stressful for everyone, but in the end, my dress arrived in Feb for my May wedding. They never pressured me into buying a dress and were very nice about me trying on veils with my dress even though I ultimately went with another company.”
“I had such a wonderful, down-to-earth experience shopping for my wedding gown at The Wedding Shoppe. I actually started my dress search with an appointment in NYC, and while it was a lovely store, I quickly realized I wanted something that felt more personal and welcoming. That is exactly what I found here.
Donna treated me like family from the very beginning. She was incredibly patient, helped me try on what felt like a million dresses, and made the entire experience fun and comfortable. Once I found my gown, she continued to be wonderful throughout all of my fitting appointments and was fantastic about communicating every detail along the way.
Even after the wedding, The Wedding Shoppe continued to take care of me by coordinating professional cleaning for my gown, which made the process so easy.
I truly loved my experience here and, more importantly, the people. If you’re looking for a bridal shop that feels warm, personal, and genuinely invested in making you feel special, The Wedding Shoppe is it. I’m so grateful they were part of such an important chapter for me.”
“Debra was so patient and helpful while I was looking for a mother of the groom dress. Pria did a wonderful job on my alterations. They have a good selection of dresses for moms and brides as well. I recommend highly.”
