Carolyn Allen's Bridals & Tuxedos

After going to a couple of pushy, impersonal tux rental places...we really felt comfortable at Carolyn Allen. Keith and Sue really care about your wedding, get to know you and make you feel like family. I loved that they delievered and picked up the tuxs from our hotel. We had many out of town groomsmen who didn't get a chance to try on the tux before hand. Sue came to the hotel the morning of the wedding to fix sizing or exchange for a better size. Sue also altered my wedding dress. We had 3 fittings and it was just the perfect fit. They also steamed and delivered my dress to my hotel room in perfect condition. Thank you for dressing me, hubby and our wedding party!!

Had my dress steamed and pressed. It turned out wonderful! The staff was very professional and would highly recommend!

Carolyn Allen came to my hotel room twice to steam my dress for different occasions. Absolutely perfect. I cannot say enough about their service. Professional and efficient. Highly recommended.

I had two dresses altered at Carolyn Allen. Sue was absolutely wonderful to work with. She did a great job on my dress and the bustle held my long train the entire day. Everyone was so friendly and I enjoyed my fittings:) My dresses were steamed and packed for my cruise ship wedding and they looked spectacular on my wedding day! Thank you!

Setting up my steaming appointment with Carolyn Allen’s was easy and straightforward. I had to change the time of the steaming a couple of times and they had no problem with the changes. They came to our hotel room and steamed my dress, my mom’s, mother-in-law’s and maid of honor’s. They had both the steamer and an iron, which we needed. They worked quickly, carefully and quietly. I ended up feeling comfortable enough to leave my dress at bell services for them to pick up, clean, and ship back to me. It arrived exactly a month after the wedding (they informed me of the timeframe). They were very pleasant to work with!

Great deals and tuxes!

Everything was comfortable and affordable! Great job!

Never rent a tux from them. If the wedding gets canceled and you want a refund it is a no go for getting your money back. Considering the large number of people who travel to Orlando for a wedding from out of town there should be a full refund policy on rental items with enough notice. Instead I am told that I can only receive half of my money back because they processed paperwork. I have never worn the tux, tried it on or have been fitted for anything. It is a nice racket where people who already are in a crappy place get screwed some more.

We had a destination wedding and used Carolyn Allen's for tuxedos and to store and steam my dress along with the dresses of my bridesmaids. The quality of service we received was incredible and I could not be more pleased. The tuxedo rental was flawless and they were even willing to make a few trips back and forth when things didn't fit just right. On the day of my wedding two people came to my small hotel room to steam 8 dresses and despite all the chaos in the room they managed to stay out of the way and get everything done. All with a pleasant attitude and kind words.

Sue, Walter, Kat, and Stephanie are the best! They are so helpful, and they made us feel like part of the family! ^_^ They have the most beautiful and current styles, and Sue made any needed alterations so that all of the dresses fir perfectly. The chocolate brown tux that my groom selected for himself and his groomsmen was gorgeous, and even a last minute size exchange was handled gladly and quickly. They also have an amazing selection of shoes, veils, headpieces, as well as cleaning and preservation. You won't find value and service like this anywhere else!

What a great staff!! You can absolutely count on these folks to make your wedding day less stressful, because your dress and tux will be perfect. They even arrive early and are happy to see you. I would use them again and would recommend them to everyone!

The family team at Carolyn Allen's was great! They were very attentive, helpful, and on more than one instance they stayed after closing time.They have some awesome deals during their sample sales. I got a beautiful gown for a steal! Great idea for brides on a budget like me.

Carolyn Allen's is a wonderful place to get your wedding attire! Sue and Keith run a wonderful family business, they are professional and personable and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that your wedding day is perfectly dressed! I would recommend them over and over again. Thank you so much!!

This is a wonderful family establishment. When I walked in I immediately felt welcome. I was on a tight budget for my gown and there were lots of dresses to choose from in any budget range. I found the perfect gown for my special day. My dress fit me perfectly (because of Sue's great alterations). I will be definitely going again for any future alterations or just to stop in and say hello.

Even though our wedding was on short notice, the staff at Carolyn Allen's was exceptionally attentive and was able to fulfill all of our bridal party needs. It was so easy to ship down my wedding gown and my flower girl dress, and the cost to do so was not as bad as I had initially anticipated (roughly $30.00). The day before our wedding, we were able to meet with the staff and obtain measurements for my wedding party. It took no time at all and the staff was able to crack jokes with us and were just down to earth and very funny. I would strongly recommend using this facility for any occassions, whether it be a wedding or other formal event. I also was able to ship all of my items back home for the same amount of money and it was extremely easy to make these arraignments.

After having visited several other bridal stores I started thinking I would just have to settle. However, when I walked into Carolyn Allen's (which I unknowingly passed every day going to the supermarket) it was COMPLETELY different. I chose a couple different styles to try-on and after Sue saw what I was going for she also chose a couple. She is in EXPERT in her field and I can honestly say that the 4 gowns she picked for me were my 4 favorite. I couldn't narrow them down any farther. It was exquisite service, very personal, and I would recommend any bride & groom!! If there was a rating higher than 5, I would have chose that!! Thanks again!!!

VERY FRIENDLY AND PROMPT SERVICE!

I would HIGHLY recommend Carolyn Allen's Bridal! My wedding was planned quickly and they were great to work with. For starters, I came into the shop right as it was closing and one of the ladies stayed there with me past close and continued to suggest dresses for me to try on. In addition, the seamstress had to shorten my dress in a short-time period and took such great care and pride in her work that it was flawless! She had to shorten the length and to do so she had to remove all the decals from the bottom. Instead of getting rid of them she carefully placed them back on the dress! She was amazing! I couldn't have asked for anything better! I got SO many compliments on my dress!

The staff at Carolyn Allen's made my wedding day wonderful. From my dress to my veil to my jewels to my shoes everything sparkled and I felt like a princess! Thank you!!

I was very worried about shipping my dress to FL for our destination wedding. I read many positive reviews about Carolyn Allen's, specifically that they were a recommended vendor for Disney weddings. They promptly contacted me after I sumbitted an initial request and put me at ease about shipping my dress. They delivered it directly to my hotel room, as scheduled, and did a very nice job steaming it, as well as steaming several other items that we requested on site. I hadn't made post-wedding arrangements for how to get my dress back to MI. I called Carolyn Allen's on the day I was departing to schedule dress cleaning, preservation, and return shipping. They were very accommodating and came back to the hotel, that day, to pick up my dress. Wonderful service! I did not research pricing from other vendors, so I can't say how their prices compare, but I felt that they were worth every penny for the peace of mind they gave me.

It is always sad when a wedding is cancelled because of issues in a relationship. It is truly unfortunate when the company renting out the tuxedos makes it worse when it decides it will keep half of the rental fees for "processing", despite the fact that the wedding date was still a month away. Through no fault of their own, each of the groomsmen lost $77, never received or wore the tuxedo, and Carolyn Allen's has no plans to rectify the situation. If you're planning a Florida wedding, you'd better hope there's no hurricane, because your rental fees are forfeit, no matter what.Seriously, how do they justify getting one month's notice of cancellation but STILL keeping 50%?

We used Carolyn Allen's for the groom's tux rental, additional men's shirt rentals and steaming of bridal gown, bridesmaids dresses.They always got back to me very quickly with detailed answers to all my questions, showed up on time at our hotel for the tux fitting the day before the wedding and on time the next day to steam the dresses. We added the additional shirt rental to our order last minute (less than a week before the wedding) and they were able to provide us with fantastic shirts and a great price!I could not be happier and highly recommend Carolyn Allen's services!

Of all the bridal stores I visited, they were the most attentive, knowledgeable, and professional!

Great service.. Awsome people!! Was willing to work with me through my unexpected situation..

Sue and Keith at Carolyn Allen's Bridal & Tuxedos were BEYOND amazing! They were extremely friendly, professional, and the quality of their work was superb.Sue provided all the alterations needed for my dress and my mother's dress and I was very pleased with everything she had done. We also rented all of our tuxedos here and were very happy how everything turned out.

The staff at Carolyn Allen's Bridals & Tuxedos are awesome. They performed my alterations to my wedding dress and provided the grooms tuxedo. We looked great. Sue's craftsmanship is beautiful. My family lives in NJ and wasn't able to attend any of the fittings but Sue and Keith and the rest of the staff made me feel at home.

We rented tuxes as well as a flower girl dress from Carolyn Allen's for our wedding, and we loved everything about this shop. The staff was so friendly and made you feel right at home. The tuxes were great, and the flower girl looked adorable in her dress. My junior BM and junior GM both got alterations at the shop and they were also excellent. This shop is definitely one to consider when choosing your bridal attire!

All the staff at Carolyn Allen's were helpful and kind to me when I was feeling very stressed out!!! And I found a beautiful wedding dress, I love it.

They were absolutely wonderful and a delight to work with. They answered all my questions, very responsive and made everything easy and stress free.

There service was great, couldn't fault it!

Love, Love, Love these people!!!

Sue from Carolyn Allen's altered my wedding dress by adding a bustle and fitting it quite accurately. I also bought my veil from this location. Sue and her staff (including her daughters and husband) were so warm and friendly. They were quick and efficient. I even returned after the wedding to share photos with them. Now my family and I go to them for all of our evening gown alterations. Sue's beading work is immaculate. True artisans at work.

The ladies came to our hotel room at the Ritz Carlton, Grande Lakes and one steamed my daughter's wedding dress, while the other hand pressed the reception dress. We had them look at the bridesmaids' dresses and they touched up them so there were no wrinkles. I also asked them to press pashminas that were purchased for the cold weather.They were very nice, professional and knowledgeable about their trade. Thank you very much.

We used Carolyn Allen's for our tuxedo rentals and dress steaming for our Disney wedding. We were extremely happy with the personalized attention and service!

Great shop and the staff is very helpful!

They did an excellent job with our Tuxedos and care of the Wedding dress.

The lady that came to steam my dress was absolutely wonderful! She did an excellent job and helped calm me down as I was dealing with some family wedding issues at the time. She was truly great! I cannot remember her name, but I believe she was from Trinidad, if I remember correctly. Hopefully that helps with determining who steamed my dress.

Sue at Carolyn Allen's was a lifesaver. Since ours was a destination wedding and we were traveling to the locale about 3 weeks before, she stored my gown there. When she brought it to my resort, the gown was beautifully steamed and hung and laid over an ironing board so that it looked PERFECT on my wedding morning. CA's also steamed and delivered our Maid of Honor's gown. We also rented tuxedos and shoes from CA's. When Sue came to our resort to do the first fitting, she noticed a tie did not lay right and returned later with a replacement bow tie as well as more comfortable shoes for both men. The service was always so friendly and accommodating to our schedules.After the wedding, we left the tuxedos and my wedding gown and the MoH's gown with bell services at our hotel. Someone from CA's picked it all up and both gowns were promptly shipped to my home. We could not have had piece of mind about our attire without the amazing folks at Carolyn Allens!!

An amazing job with alterations! My dress was ordered incorrectly from another store and this crew came to the rescue!! Fair pricing and excellent quality! This family run business is flexible with appointments, professional and very quick to cater to your every need!

Everyone are Carolyn Allen's was absolute pleasure to work with!I never had to worry about the tuxedos, dress steaming, or dress preservation. Everything was perfect!As an added bonus all of the tuxedos were delivered / picked up at Disney!

Carolyn Allen's was a one-stop shop for all of us! Not only did I get my dream wedding gown from this store, but my bridesmaids got their dresses from there, as well as my husband and his guys! The prices were very reasonable, their dresses are so beautiful, and their tuxes are quite nice as well. Everyone at the store was very polite and professional.

Our experience with Carolyn Allen's was fantastic.Ours was a destination wedding - like so many others that they do - and they stored my gown and did a minor hemming to one of the layers, as well as provided the mens' tuxedos and did gown steaming for all the ladies. In addition, my mom purchased her Mother of the Bride gown through them - they were incredibly patient with her, not ever pressuring her.On the morning of the wedding, they were prompt and friendly and dropped off all the tuxedos, my gown and steamed the ladies' dresses so quickly and efficiently that they were gone before we knew it.Thanks so much for making us all look so good!!

I can not say enough good things about Carolyn Allen's. My dress had to be taken apart at the waist and put back together in order to hem it and make it look right. You never would have known that it had any alterations done to it. The prices for alterations were very reasonable compared to other bridal shops. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who needs alterations done.

They were wonderful to work with! I never felt rushed or pressured, they were always very nice and happy to see me. They got to know, not only myself, but also the rest of my wedding party and family. They were always willing to help if I ever needed anything. I can't say enough great things about them!

I can't say enough about them!! They were amazing and understanding in altering and fixing my dress to fit me perfect! Plus, I didn't spend an arm and a leg like other places I checked out!

She did a wonderful job! I was very happy with her services.

My wedding was in 3 months and they were able to rush my dress. It came in just a week before I flew out to New York and Sue was able to do all my alterations! She was the sweetest lady to work with and they helped me out with everything. I honestly don't know what I would have done without them.

With everyone coming from out of town, they made it super easy for everyone in our party to get fitted and look great! They came to our hotel the day before to drop everything off and make sure it all fit well, and we could easily return everything to the front desk. They offer wonderfull services, I even got my dress steamed, along with all my girls the morning of, and beleave me it needed it after the travleing

Carolyn Allen's Bridals & Tuxedos provided me with outstanding service and exceptional quality. I had an original idea for my dress and the master seamstress took my idea and created a dress that was nothing short of a masterpiece. It was everything I’d dreamed of and so much more, it absolutely dazzled all of those who attended my wedding. On top of their exquisite workmanship Carolyn Allen’s customer service is unparalleled; you’re not just another customer you are THE customer and in an impersonal world that makes all the difference. I would recommend Carolyn Allen’s Bridal and Tuxedo to all of my family and friends because I have the utmost confidence that they will not be disappointed.

They did excellent work. I had scheduled the date about a year in advance, and then emailed about 4 months before the wedding to get the dress steamed a day earlier, they responded that same day, and changed the date with no problem.Very professional, very good work!

I cannot say enough great things about this vendor. They we're amazing. My bridal party had 22 people in it with 6 of them being young kids and they were awesome! They worked with us so wonderfully and did not hesitate at all when i made appointment after appointment. The're proffessionalism was increadible. I would definetely reccomend them to ANY bride and please tell Sue that Alicia says hi if you do! Also, the price i spent with the vendor below is high because we bought all of our bridesmaids dressed and paid for thier alterations and got ALL of our wedding day essentials there including my shoes, vail, bra, guest book, flower girl basket, ring bearer pillow, and all of our guys tuxes!

I went to many bridal shops before visiting Carolyn Allen's. They were unlike the other wedding mills I had gone through on my search for the perfect dress. They gave me personal attention and took time to get to know my tastes so my whole wedding look would come together perfectly. They are also the only vendors that I felt like they had my best interest in mind and when the event was over, I considered them my friends. I have and would recommend Carolyn Allen's to anyone getting married or looking for formal wear.

I bought my wedding dress here as well as a few bridesmaid dresses. My mom and grandmom also bought the dresses that they wore for the wedding here. This family owned, relatively small shop carries the most beautiful selection of gowns. They are so sweet and really good with taking time with each costumer to find the right dress within their budget. They were one of the only shops I went to that did not try to push you out of your price range, but instead helped you to find a dress you love at a price you felt comfortable with. I had very specific time constraints, because I worked out of town, and they could not have been more flexible about fittings and appointments.

Bridal Shop: 5 Stars - I went to pick out my dress about 9 months before our wedding. I received personal attention even though there was another bride there doing her final fitting. The people there were wonderful and I got the dress of my dreams. I also bought my bridesmaid dresses there. Everything was taken care of promptly at the store and it gave me one less stressful thing to worry about for our big day. I bought a Jasmine bridal gown, which had to be altered, but the people at Carolyn Allen’s were able to alter it perfectly.

Bridesmaids Dresses: 5 Stars - I ordered my 6 bridesmaids their dresses through Carolyn Allen’s. Alterations were also taken care of at the store. They did a wonderful job.

Alterations: 5 Stars - They did a great job altering my dress even with all the details found in my dress. My dress has fine stitching as well as Swarovski crystals sewn into the fabric. You would never know, looking at my dress, that anyone was able to do such a fine job altering it to fit me.

We had all of our dresses (mine and my bridesmaids), as well as all the tuxes steamed by Carolyn Allen! They brought out the machine to us and did it for us at the hotel! PERFECT service!

Fantastic job on my dress steaming! Thanks Carolyn (although now I hear someone else is doing the steaming).

Great, fast, even brought the tuxedo to our room at Walt Disney World for both the initial fitting and to bring us the rental. Oh, and they even pick up the tuxedo from the hotel. Since we left the resort the day after the wedding, this was a great convenience to us! :) If we ever have to attend a formal event in or near the Disney World resort area, we'll definitely call on Carolyn Allen's again.

Fast service, convenient, professional but friendly -- would definitely use again!

Really nice dress, but it was a bit over our price range. However, it was GORGEOUS!!!

I love Sue and her team at Carolyn Allen's! I have worked with them many many times over the years and they are true professionals and really wonderful people. Always on time, pleasant to be around and they do a fantastic job helping you with all your bridal gown needs. I highly recommend them.

Carolyn Allen's Bridals & Tuxedos provides great service and gorgeous, quality merchandise at affordable prices. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, able to assist brides in choosing the entire ensemble of dresses, viels and accessories.

They are wonderful to work with! Sue is an expert seamstress and has taken care of all my bride and groom's needs. They genuinely care about their customer's and go the extra mile to help with any need whether it is attire related or not.The gowns and accesories are top quality as is their service. :) I highly recommend their shop and service to all wedding parties!
