Camarillo Bridal

Everybody is so nice at Camarillo Bridal!! It was so nice and fun to shop for my dress and it's and experience that I will never forget.

I would recommend this shop to anyone getting married. I traveled 2.5 hours twice to get to this shop because the service and selection far surpassed all of the other bridal shops I had been to.

I had to order my petticoat separate from my dress, it did not arrive on the day it was supposed to so I called the shop and they checked into it. They informed me that it had been lost in the mail.

They promptly sent me a new one at no additional charge.

Oh, also, my dress was...

Amazing!

I got my bridal gown here and 8 bridesmaids dresses. From the first appointment to the last they were nothing but friendly, professional, and dedicated to making my experience perfect. The salon is beautiful, with lots of mirrors and space. I had an awful experience with the dress designer. When my dress came in, there was a big lump around the waist of the dress, and it was made poorly. Cam bridal went to bat for me and battled the designer until they agreed to make me an entirely new dress in only one month! The girls were sympathetic and understood how anxious I was about the entire situation and kept me calm reassuring me every day that I would have a dress to wear at my wedding.

The staff is enthusiastic, and so much fun to work with. Thank you Camarillo bridal!!!!

I went to many different bridal salons to search for the "perfect" dress. I went to Camarillo Bridal because they had the dress I wanted and another by the same designer in the two color options I was choosing between. I instantly fell in love with this salon. The ladies are truly magnificent. I ordered my dress that day! They kept me updated when my dress would be available and recommended a great seamstress to make my dress perfect. Thanks, ladies!

I had a great experience with Camarillo Bridal. I found my gown on the dress first shopping trip. I live in AZ and came to Camarillo Bridal to try on gowns with my bridesmaids and mother, and get their opinion, intending to come back home with this opinion and shop some more. After trying on a few dresses that were beautiful but not what I was looking for, Shelley, brought out a dress that I hadn't looked at yet, and it fit like a glove and when I walked out I knew it was the one. Except there was just something not right yet- Shelley explained they could add straps, change the neck line to a modified sweet heart, change the color to ivory instead of off-white, and after this, I was sold. When I called back the next day and asked if they could add a scallop, as this was one of the only aspects of my dream dress that was missing- no problem, they called the designer and were able to add it for an additional price. My dress came back looking like a completely different dress and I was IN LOVE! Every one agreed the scallop was such an upgrade and looked perfect. All of my changes really made it MY gown, and I was just so happy with the personal attention I received at Camarillo Bridal. Later when I came back to do my final fitting, I ordered a petticoat. When the petticoat came in I had issues picking it up due to the store being closed on sundays and it being a holiday weekend. CB worked with me to allow me to send them a prepaid shipping label and they 2-day mailed my petticoat to me in a hurry so I could get my alterations done. And they remembered that they owed me a gift so they slipped in a tote bag with it, which was so thoughtful. I was thoroughly impressed- Thanks Camarillo Bridal!!! You have been a pleasure to work with. My gown is a dream, I can't wait to wear it. Your store is beautiful, always fun to come visit.

Camarillo Bridal was fantastic and fun. I bought everything there, my dress, my bridesmaids dresses, groomsmen tuxes, shoes, purse, jewelry, undergarments, books, etc.

The women that work here are helpful, experienced, professional, and have great energy!

They were very helpful and nice while getting everyone fitted and ordered.

Wonderful experience! They have everything you need!

Overall I had a very pleasant experience at Camarillo Bridal. I felt I overpaid for my dress, but the personalized service made up for if!

I had the best experience with this shop. I purchased my whole wedding attire from Camarillo Bridal. My dress, earrings, veil, petticoat, sash, garter set and couldn't be more happier with my choices. The whole staff was extremely helpful, friendly and super sweet especially Renee, Tabitha, and Claire:) They took really great care of me and made me feel so special. I had such a fun time! I highly recommend this shop!!!!

They were so helpful and Renee was my consultant and absolutely amazing! I found my dream dress on my first visit and they made the process so easy and so much fun!

Camarillo Bridal had the biggest and best selection out of all the stores in Santa Barbara, Camarillo and Thousand Oaks. They were accommodating and listened to my desires to find the perfect dress. Still a little pricy at $1700. Dollars but also had a built in corset and slip which would add to the cost if bought separately. Remember to factor in the cost of the alterations( don't go cheap, you invested in the dress you should to in having it done correctly). It cost me 600 due to all the alterations and some modifications I had done. Good luck in finding your dream dress.

I had a great experience at Camarillo Bridal. I went in to just 'look", I even told my consultant Shelly that I was not buying anything because my mom wasn't with me. I told her what styles I liked and she pulled some wonderful gowns and they were all in my price range. I wanted to stay around $1000. There were so many options. The salon is nice and you definitely get the whole experience. Shelly was not pushy with trying to make a sale and did inform me of the Platinum package you get if you buy your dress on your first visit. I tried on a wonderful chiffon gown that was so me - I knew it was the dress. I still didn't think I was buying it because my mom wasn't with me and Shelly was okay with that and said she would just note it on my card so my Mom and I could come back. While she was noting it and I was getting changed I realized there was no reason to wait it was THE DRESS and why not get the Platinum package they were offering with the gown purchase (free veil, steaming of dress, tank top, discounts on accessions). They let me get back in the dress and send a video of it to my mom and told me they were signing up for Skype so it would be easier to video with parents that don't live near by (this is such a great idea). Needless to say, I spent over 2 hours here and everyone was helpful and the selection was great. I love that I found such an amazing dress at such an amazing price! Thanks Camarillo Bridal! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and it was because I had the perfect dress!

The Camarillo Bridal Babes are amazing! They are all very kind and super helpful. You're always greeted with a smile and excellent service. They helped me find my dream wedding dress in my first visit (although I did have a couple ideas to begin with), and when my fiance had to help me pick up my dress the day before our wedding, they made sure to double bag it so he couldn't see a thing. I'm very happy with their service and I definitely recommend Camarillo Bridal!

Camarillo Bridal was amazing in helping me find my wedding dress. They really take the time to get to know you as a bride and only bring you dresses that really compliment your body and personality. They will tell you when you dont look good in a dress and i really appreciated that kind of honesty in my consultant. They are seasoned professionals and will find your dress for a very reasonable price. The staff is very friendly and willing to help with anything they can.

They over charged me for everything. They were annoyed when I opened the jewelry box and found my necklace was missing pearls and I wanted to return it or exchange it. Tabitha was very nice and helpful (she wasn't even my assigned salesperson), but the other ladies just seemed annoyed with me. I bought my dress elsewhere. If they are that crazy about a necklace I can't risk the gown. I ordered some other accessories and they all came in different than I had tried on or wanted, but I couldn't return anything. It was very frustrating. They said they would exchange things for me, but when I went in to try they were so rude and bothered by it. The items I purchased were not inexpensive, but were cheaply made. The prices here are entirely too high for the quality. Go elsewhere and save yourself some money or at least get quality products for your money.

My dress was gorgeous! And, Shelley did an amazing job of making me and my bridesmaids feel special. I truly had a great experience.

I had a great experience at Camarillo Bridal. Jazmin was my consultant and helped me find exactly what I was looking for on my first visit. She never brought me anything that was too expensive and was really sweet when I switched back and forth between my top 2 dresses several times. My dress came within a reasonable amount of time and everyone loved it at my wedding. Working with Camarillo Bridal was effortless and pleasant.

I LOVE Camarillo Bridal! These girls were incredible and I am going to make sure all my friends who need bridal gowns at least give them a try! I had already been to probably five (or more bridal shops) and tried on about 100 dresses before I went to Camarillo Bridal. I was so discourage...after trying on so many dresses, I didn't find anything that felt even remotely right. But then I went to Camarillo Bridal and Shelley and Renee were lifesavers! They were patient and great to deal with. They listened to what I wanted and what I didn't like in other dresses I had tried on. They found me the absolute perfect dress - it was like it was made for me! And the price was incredible. I would 100% recommend this place!!

This was my very first experience trying on wedding dresses. I had told my mom before we went in that I had no intention on buying a dress the first day that I was shopping. This was before they moved into their new location, so it was a little crowded with dresses inside. But I immediately felt at ease with Marissa. I had filled out the on-line questionaire and Marissa asked even more questions to narrow down what I was looking for. I was very specific with her about my budget and she was very careful to only select dresses within my price point. We took 10 dresses into the fitting room, with the last selection from their sample rack. That dress ended up being the first I tried on and even though it was opposite of everything I thought I wanted, I fell in love. That became the dress to beat. In the end, I bought the dress and the fact that it was off of the sample rack (at a sample price) was the icing on the cake. They recommended many different people to do alterations and I chose Jennifer Hyatt to do the minor repairs that the dress needed. She was awesome by the way - would HIGHLY recommend her for any and all repairs you might need and certainly for the fit. I have been back to Camarillo Bridal many times since for other items. Because I bought my dress on the first visit, I received a discount on everything else I bought from them going forward - didn't matter that I bought a sample. I ended up getting my veil from there, the bridesmaid's gifts and also had my shoes dyed there. Every time I was in there, they treated me as if I were a VIP customer. My experience was great and I would go back there in a heartbeat.

When I tried on my dress for the first time the zipper broke! I was stuck IN my dress for over an hour before a seamstress could come and get me out. Camarillo Bridal got me a new dress with in days and I was confident that everything would turn out perfect and it did. Renee Barnett is the ultimate wedding fan and makes you fell special every step of the way. Thank you Camarillo Bridal.

I love, love, love this store!!! The gowns were beautiful, of course, but what really set Camarillo Bridal apart from all of the other bridal shops I visited was their staff and service! These ladies were amazing! Shelley found the PERFECT dress for me right away, yet indulged me as I proceeded to try on about a bazillion more dresses "just in case." She then ensured that the bridesmaids dresses were the exact (hand-selected, special order) color that we wanted. Tabitha was unbelievable at helping us coordinate our "look" and she had a charming way of putting us at ease (calming the crazy bride) about when the dresses would arrive (we ordered them only 5 months before the wedding) and then getting them pressed only 2 days before the wedding, when we had forgotten all about that little detail! Renee was awesome! She graciously dyed my shoes not once but twice to get exact look I wanted - because of course, I changed my mind. More importantly, she was hilarious to work with as the bridal party went through at least 10 catalogs (no joke) of shoes. She even had to go to their other store to get more books for us! Oh and "of course we can press that dress right here, right now, while you wait because you have to leave for the wedding pretty much now and you forgot all about the existence of one of your bridesmaids...no problem!!" Did I mention our dresses were gorgeous?!?

The girls at Camarillo Bridal are amazing!!

I found THE DRESS after trying on only 4 dresses there :)

I got all of my accessories through them, they were always delivered on time and sometimes even earlier than expected. I got follow up phone calls and plenty of help every time I went in :)
When I walk through the doors I get a chorus of "Hello!" from multiple girls all with a smile on their face :)

I can not say enough about them :) a wonderful experience!

To sum up my experience, they kept telling me one thing and then doing another which caused an extreme amount of stress on me and my bridesmaids. Had they been honest and forthright from the beginning I would not be posting this, I realize that things can come in late but it is the run around that I was given that makes me so angry. For details of exactly what happened to me (bride) with ordering my bridesmaid dresses from Camarillo Bridal see below:
1. I ask if the bridesmaids order their dresses by the date that Friday if they will need to have expedited shipping and still have the dresses by the week of Memorial Day weekend. The answer is yes. My wedding date is July 3rd and I want to not have to stress about rushing everything.
2. I find out from my bridesmaids that they have to pay rush shipping fee of 30 dollars to get the dresses in by the week of Memorial Day weekend. Then Camarillo bridal calls me to let me know after the dresses have been ordered.
3. They forget about one of my bridesmaids and tell me that I only have 6. I have to argue that I really do have 7 and then give them the measurements of the last one and pay for it.
4. I go in to sign the paperwork to say that they are not liable for the sizes fitting the girls and then they tell me that the actual date they should be in by is June 10.
5. I call up on May 31st just to check to see if the dresses might be coming in early, I am told they will be in on June 3rd.
6. I call June 3rd and am told that they actually got shipped on June 3rd and will be there by June 10th.
7. I call June 10th and am told that the dresses have not been shipped at all and they will put me in contact with the owner on June 11th.
8. The owner of Camarillo Bridal calls me and tells me that the dresses were actually shipped on June 9th and will be here the next week and will give me a tracking number for them on June 13th. There has been no offer of refunding the rush shipping costs.
9. I call on June 13th and am told that Alfred Angelo’s tracking department was closed on Saturday and Monday so I will be given the tracking number on June 14th. Keep in mind my wedding is now less than three weeks away and all of my bridesmaids are not local.
10. I call on June 14th I am assured that the dresses will be there by the end of the week but they will still not give me a tracking number.
11. The dresses finally arrived on June 16th, there was no refunding of the rush order.

Awesome little shop! Found the perfect dress for a great price!

Everyone was super nice. Only thing my dress wasn't measured well.

I bought my gown from Camarillo Bridal. I emailed them for an appointment about 6 months before our wedding, they helped me find a beautiful dress! They were helpful and found dresses in the styles I liked. The dress I bought was actually a dress from Alfred Angelo, but it was last year's style, so I saved $550.00 from the original price! I received many comments on how beautiful the dress looked, and it has been easy to clean and keep. The owner gave me tips on how to clean the dress, which saved me money in dry cleaning bills. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend!

I had a hard time finding a dress till I went to camarillo bridal! their consultants are the best! they are so nice and really help you find the perfect dress! I am so thankful!

I had an amazing experience at Camarillo Bridal! Marissa was amazing to work with. I didn't make an appointment and she fit me in at the last minute. She listened to me and found exactly what I wanted. Every experience I had with them was amazing and they had a great selection of dresses. Give them a try!

I needed help with finding my dress and had no idea where to start...they were very helpful finding me a dress that worked well with my style..:)

This store was so fun to search for dresses! I went to a few different stores and this store was certainly the most welcoming. The women who work here are friendly and flexible to your needs. They understand and make suggestions if you're shopping on a budget, and they were fine with me taking two different days before deciding on a veil. They offer plenty of services and products, are well organized, and have comfortable seats for family/friends to sit and wait. They also send out an occasional newsletter if you want it.

You won't be dissappointed ... GO HERE!! The staff is amazing! From the owner to the workers. My only complaint was there is one worker there that really rubbed me the wrong way... I was going back for a second visit and the girl originally helping me was tied up with another bride when I arrived so I got a new girl... tall blonde, like super tall blonde, straight hair.... I did not like her at all. She was very short with me and frankly did not like the way she talked to me... kind of snotty. I would ask her a question and she just ignored me. I kept hearing her complain that she was suppose to help another family. I was thinking really... I can freakin hear you! I felt like I was a total burden to her. I even told her, look you can switch with another person if you must. I saw my original girl, Marissa and I said please help me. She was eating her lunch and stopped to assist me! I was soo happy. Don't get me wrong everyone ELSE is amazing. I met and spoke with all the girls... but save your self and don't get the super tall blonde! Hate to say it but she has got to go. I don't know much about designers or their gowns but I told Marissa what I was looking for and she found me the perfect dress! Special thanks to Miss Patty (owner), Renee (manager) and Marissa and Breanna! I loved these gals!

They have an excellent section! And I didn't feel any pressure of upsells. I told them my budget and they respected it and kept me under! I truly appreciate all there help.

Thanks Camarillo Bridal!!!

I had an excellent experience at Camarillo Bridal. The girls are very helpful and excellent at helping you find the perfect dress. They remembered me (and my mom) each time I came in for various things, even if it had been months since I was last in. I am so happy I purchased my dress from them.

I bought my wedding dress at Camarillo Bridal. And my shoes, my slip, my Spanx, dresses for both the mother of the bride and mother of the groom, dresses for the maid of honor and the bridesmaid. We rented all of our tuxedos there, too. We even bought our guest book, ring pillow, and flower petal basket there. Needless to say, we loved Camarillo Bridal. The staff is helpful and VERY friendly. They knew me by sight. They were prompt in calling me when my items arrived. If you are looking for a wedding dress (and more), you won't be disappointed at Camarillo Bridal.

After being kicked out of 2 bridal shops, they let me try on as much as I wanted. I bought my dress from them, as well as the bridesmaids and flower girl dressed. They made sure everything matched and were really helpful.

I recently purchased my dress from Camarillo Bridal. They have been so easy to work with, and all of the women in the store are so fun and supportive when you're trying dresses on. Both times I went here, I had an attentive worker with me in the room helping me change from dress to dress. They were very friendly with my family and friends, and let me stay there for hours trying dresses on. I found their prices to be comparable to Pebbles (which is mentioned in another review). I would definitely recommend them if you are interested in the designers that they carry. They made this entire process easy and enjoyable!

They were absolutely amazing and stayed on top of everything beautifully. They are so helpful and friendly - they're a joy to work with. I definitely recommend them.

Renee and the rest of her staff are wonderful!!! Have a few concerns with the altering girl Myrna, shes overproced, but the other lady who is their local girl is wonderful

Being a very picky bride, I was both grateful and impressed when the ladies in the shop were able to find the perfect (not what I originally asked for, but even better) wedding dress for me.

Loved Camarillo Bridal.
I am the groom and this was the only place remotely close that had the tux I wanted (Brown pinstripe).
The customer service was great for my wife (who purchased her gown her) and my rentals. Everything was smooth, communication was perfect and they gave us advance notice so we could be there on time to pick things up.

Recommended!

I bought my dress and veil from this place and was completely happy with both purchases. The people in the store are very friendly and helpful with all sorts of questions. The store is not that big, but it has a certain charm about it. Make sure you make appointments to go in and try on dresses if you decide to go hunting on a Saturday! This store carries all types of designers and the cost ranges from $500 to $2000. This store will have something for every type of bride.

I love this store! They had a large selection of dresses, many that you would not be able to find elsewhere. Their prices were very reasonable, especially for how beautiful the gowns were. Just as important was the helpfulness of the staff. They were all so sweet and did not pressure you into buying a certain dress, they really listened to what I was looking for. Any changes that needed to be made they were more than happy to help me fix. No need to buy a pricey dress from a store farther away, try them first!!

The Crew of Camarillo Bridal were all friendly and nice, they helped me found the perfect dress for me after trying on thousands of dress (what feels like thousands of dress) on different stores. They have a lot of selection for a small store. Although they made a mistake in my measurements. The size wasn't a big problem cause I eventually lost the weight so the dress fit perfectly but the length of the dress was too short and they were not able to fix it because of the intricate lace design. When I was getting measured they even said the length for my dress have to be longer cause it will not have a seam, but it still came in short. The only we where able to do is to buy new shoes that has a lower heel. (My first shoes was not refunded caused they already dyed it to match my dress, so they just waived the cost of the dye of both shoes) Hours was restricted to their open hours so that was stressfull esp. I have a full time job 1hr a way from the location. Cost is alittle expensive but the dress was a Maggie Sottero Cotoure so I excused the cost.

I really loved my dress. The staff was very helpful. Everything arrived in a timely matter and they steamed my dress for me. Make sure to make appointments with their tailor well in advance to ensure everything is ready on time. I was very pleased!

so heres the thing.. my wedding is coming up in about 2 1/2 weeks.. i just picked up my dress today and man is it beautiful...
the people were wonderful!!!!! Everyone there was great.. i ordered my dress late and they made sure it woul be here in time.. they stayed on it and were so helpful!!!!! I had been to so many dress shops and the people at camarillo bridal were the best. I must have tried on 100 dress and they were kind and wonderful... i mean it i would go back there over and over again and would tell everyone to go there.. really they were so nice and i could sit here all day and tell everyone how great they are... they helped me with everything!!!! they even tried to get me a bird cage veil that i had a hard time finding... they found one but it was to expensive.. they even gave me a military discount becuase my soon to be hubby is in the military.. they are the nicest people so if you want wonderful service and kind people go to camarillo bridal

This is a true story of how they treated my daughter. (Yes, I am the mother of the Bride and every mother knows you don't mess with my kid)

1. I had to fly to Texas to take care of my sister and niece. My sister is in the army and came back from Iraq with some health problems and needed surgery. I couldn't be here to help my daughter with shopping for her Gown. she would call me and send my pitcures of what she tried and the problems she had at different Bridal stores. I was so upset about what was going on and there was nothing I could do but pray she would find a nice person to help her. My prayers where answered at Camarillo Bridal.

2. My daughter called me from Camarillo Bridal and was explaining that she finally found the right place. They treated my daughter like family and helped her get just what she wanted. They didn't have the exact dress she wanted so they had to order it. The owner knowing I was worried and not around so she talked to me on my daughter's cell and told me not to worry and they would take good care of her. SHE WASN'T LYING, THEY DID JUST THAT!

3. There was problems with the dress coming in and they kept my daughter informed and stayed on the company to make sure that dress came in. My daughter also wanted a special type of head piece and they went way out of there way trying to find it for her. (At a price she could afford)

The bottom line is the dress was beautiful and perfect! The price was excellant! There Costumer Service was FANTASTIC!

Truthfully, if you are looking for a wonderful experience getting your wedding gown or if you are helping your daughter. Take my word and go to Camarillo Bridal. YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED!

A very happy mother of a BEAUTIFUL BRIDE

Stay Away from Camarillo Bridal in Camarillo, CA!

Camarillo Bridal is a popular bridal boutique that often participates in the bridal shows at the Hyatt in Westlake Village. Stay away - their customer service is HORRIBLE! When I placed my dress order, the store was under different management than it is now. These are the problems we had:

1) They accused me of stealing a 1” square fabric sample and tried to charge me $25 for it.

I asked for a fabric sample when I placed my MoH’s dress order. One of the attendants pulled a sample out of a book and taped it to one of the store’s business cards for me. A week later, the manager of the store called and accused me of having stolen the fabric sample! They threatened to charge me $25 unless I drove back to the store and returned the fabric - immediately. When I told her that I had asked for a sample and that was what I had been given, she told me that her attendants “would never do that.” So she had accused me of lying too!

2) When my dress came in, I wasn’t given any assistance trying it on.

We were hurried out of the dressing room for taking too long, even though I had an appointment. One of the attendants moved our personal items (purses, etc) out of the dressing room and ushered in another bride to be. The rest of the time there, the attendants didn’t help AT ALL. I wasn’t offered any undergarments or veils and they didn’t offer any fitting services either (hemming or bustles). We were forced to pack up and leave!

3) We were overcharged.

I highly recommend Pebbles Bridal in Woodland Hills - they have the best prices. I was disappointed to find out that I’d overpaid for my dress, even though I had negotiated the price. I also found out that the following week, the Maggie Sottero dresses had gone on sale, and they refused to apply the sale to my dress. I was also told that if we ordered 3 items from the store, I would receive a discount on any one item – whether it be a dress, jewelry, shoes, etc. But they reneged on that deal - they said since I didn't have a bridal party of 6 or more, no discount.

Now, we all know the stories of Bridezillas and the panic that can ensue. I assure you I was a calm, nice person, and this store did nothing but treat me, my mom, and my MoH with rudeness and attitude! Save yourself a terrible headache and stay away from that store!

The Maggie Sottero dress I chose was fitted for me beautifully.

I was very happy with Camarillo Bridal, I found my dress there and they ordered my size, it did not take long for it to get there. I also used them for tayloring it as well, very quick and happy with the overall outcome. not to expensive as well
