There aren't enough wonderful things I could say about my experience with Marie & Serki!! I live in San Diego but was in VA for a work conference. I didn't love any of the dresses I had tried back home, so I thought I'd take a shot at trying a few dresses during my lunch break! I called Global Bridal and they told me to come on in.. I rushed over to Global Bridal and Marie met me immediately with the dress I had inquired about and the most incredible amount of loving energy I'm still deeply appreciating 1 month later. I didn't love the dress I had picked, but Marie had already picked out 3 dresses for me to try.. every dress was more & more beautiful! I was sure the 2nd dress was the one, but Marie convinced me to try one more.. and my goodness, IT WAS PERFECT! My mother passed away 5 years ago to the day.. and wedding dress shopping without my mom has been something that I've been truthfully dreading.. but the way Marie & Serki were celebrating with me and loving on me.. it was one of the first times since she's passed that I felt my mom's presence in a big way. I truly believe that my mom led me to visit Marie & Serki that day and the memory of my trip at Global Bridal still brings me tears of joy. Marie & Serki- thank you from the bottom of my heart! You didn't know this, but you both made what would've been a dreadful experience for me one of the most enjoyable and heart-warming days for me. Your love for your brides is felt in a way that is SO unique and authentic.. I will forever be so grateful for my experience at Global Bridal, the two lovely ladies who brought me so much comfort & joy, and the MOST PERFECT dress I'm not-so-patiently waiting to wear on my perfect day

I had the most amazing experience with Niccole at Global Bridal Gallery, she had me try on dresses that I was not expecting to love so much and ultimately helped me to find my dream dress. The whole process was fun, easy, and stress free. The entire team at Global Bridal will be your biggest cheerleaders for your big day!

Marie was so kind, helpful, and excited but not too pushy. The gallery is cozy but clean and bright. Great selection, good prices.

I had such a wonderful experience shopping at Global! Marie is truly the best! She made me feel so beautiful and made the dress shopping experience so fun! My sister AND sister-in-law also went here and found their dress and had a wonderful experience. Every staff member I've interacted with is very friendly and helpful. I can't recommend this shop more!

I unfortunately had a terrible experience at Global. Four of my friends have bought their wedding dresses from here and I have fond memories of being part of all of their experiences at Global and really thought I would get the same level of service. Unfortunately it seems Marie, the owner, is the only employee at present who is really skilled at conducting a design consultation. Even though I had made an appointment with her and paid a $50 fee she made the choice to spend my entire one hour appointment time and beyond with the bride that had come before me and had already utilized her one hour appointment. I hope that other bride had her dream appointment because it was clear my time or experience was not valued at all. Global also sacrificed the opportunity of getting any of my business or future referrals from me. If you do still decide to try shopping at Global after reading this review, I highly encourage you to demand to be serviced by Marie and make sure you receive your full hour’s worth of appointment time. I didn’t even go on a weekend and had booked at least a month in advance. The real kicker is I asked for a refund of my $50 fee and while they agreed, they instead made the mistake of charging me another $50 fee. I’m still waiting on my full $100 refund but it is incredibly annoying that I have to spend so much time getting attention from a company that clearly doesn’t value my business.

Pretty dresses, but I had a hard time explaining what I wanted. You do not pick dresses here. You need to have a clear vision and dresses will be pulled for you. Little intimidating for my first appointment. Prices were fair as were alteration packages.

Global bridal hands down was a fabulous experience. They were accommodating to our group, made the bride to be feel very comfortable and did not rush us into anything. I would highly recommend them for bridal gowns and they have a wide selection !!

I had a wonderful experience at Global Bridal Gallery and would highly recommend it! Marie makes you feel cared for throughout the process, and I was impressed with their selection and the dress buying experience as a whole. The dress, and then the alterations, were ready even before the estimated date I was given. I found my dress about 9 months before my wedding date. I don't have any reservations with recommending Global Bridal Gallery!

Amazing experience here for my first wedding dress shopping appointment. Marie was the best. She made sure to understand my vision and my budget, and then pulled several dresses for me to try on that fit my needs. She made everything really fun, and I now have 3 options to chose between! Highly highly recommend - I will definitely be purchasing my dress from here.

Global Bridal Gallery was AMAZING to work with! I ended up buying the very first dress I tried on here and it was one they pulled for me based on inspiration photos I shared with them. Everyone that works here is extremely helpful and I felt so safe & secure trusting them with the process of finding a wedding dress and getting it altered to fit perfectly for the big day. I would highly recommend going to Global Bridal Gallery to look for your wedding dress!

I highly recommend Global Bridal Gallery! After about a week of wedding dress shopping, I found Global Bridal Gallery. The dress shopping experience there was the best compared to other places I had been, and their dress selection in terms of styles and prices matched what I was looking for. Marie is amazing, and she makes you feel cared-for throughout the process. I went into the process not sure about what kind of dress I wanted, and I ended up with a dress that I loved. The dress and then the alterations were both ready before the dates which I was given. It was overall a smooth, stress-free process and I would recommend Global Bridal Gallery to other brides!

I had the most AMAZING experience with Global Bridal Gallery in Old Town Alexandria! Ms. Marie and her entire team were an extreme joy and pleasure to work with from start to finish! I worked with Global Bridal for several months when it came to selecting and making alterations to both my wedding gown and also my bridesmaids' gowns. When searching for my wedding gown, I had already had an image in my mind of how I wanted my gown to fit and look; however, Ms. Marie and her team introduced me to a Morilee wedding gown, and I completely fell in love. It was the second gown I tried on, and immediately I knew it was the one!Once Ms. Marie ordered the gown, we were not expecting it to arrive until a couple of months later, but destiny would have it that my gown arrived in less than two weeks, but of course I recommend selecting and ordering your wedding gown at least 6-7 months in advance, and give yourself even more time if you will need time to get your finances together. In addition, because I was so happy with my wedding gown, I also called on Ms. Marie to help me select my bridesmaids' dresses, which amazingly also ended up being a design by Morilee. Ms. Marie worked with me and my bridesmaids with our payments and was so patient and kind. Ms. Marie even took some of the burden off of me and helped to reduce my stress by offering to call and follow up with each bridesmaid to make sure that they ordered their dresses in time, came to try them on, etc. I was so grateful! I even ended up purchasing some gorgeous custom sleeves through one of their vendors to add to my dress, as well as my wedding earrings, veil, and headdress.Joy and Dina in alterations were so amazing with altering my gown and some of my bridesmaids' dresses. The day of my wedding (Sept. 2, 2023) was so beautiful and completely epic! We all looked so elegant and like an image out of a magazine or picture book. Everyone said that I looked like a princess, and I certainly felt like one! If I would go through this process all over again I would choose to select my gown and bridesmaids' dresses through Global Bridal! You can tell that the staff absolutely LOVE what they do, and they aim to make you happy and satisfied with your dress/es, pricing, and overall outcome! THE BEST BRIDAL SHOP TEAM EVER!
