Manhattan Bridal Inc.

I got my wedding gown at manhattan bridal and also used them for my photographer and videographer. My photographer and videographer were both very proffesional and easy to work with. They made us feel comfortable and worked hard to get all the shots we wanted. I do feel i wish we could of taken more photo's with the family, but on our part we did arrive late.As far as getting the dress, they were the only place that carried my dress after calling many places. I was very pleased with that. Only part i did not like was the tailoring. I recommend that you buy the dress there if you find your dream gown, but get it tailored elsewhere.

I rented the white Mori Lee 6106 style from Carol at Manhattal Bridal Inc. They have dresses available for rental and purchase, as well as other wedding services such as photography, videography, hair/makeup, tuxedos, bridesmaid dresses, and limos. Carol was referred through a good friend, whose family has recommended and used Carol's service many times. Carol was nice enough to order me a new dress in my size. I picked up the dress about 1-2 days before the wedding and I returned the dress the next day. The dress was beautiful and I got a lot of compliments that day. It looks nice in the photos. The rental price included a petticoat which I wore underneath the dress to lift it up for dancing. I felt that even with my 4" heels, the dress was a little too long for me. The rental price was supposed to include alteratoins. They probably should have altered the length a little bit since I'm petite. The woman who helped me try on the dress assured me that the length wouldn't be a problem without the alterations. Unfortunately, Carol was on vacation when I went to pick up the dress. Overall, the dress fit great except for the length. I felt like I was going to trip down the stairs constantly and I had to pick up the bottom and be careful when I walked. I did fall down on the dancefloor once when I was dancing. I only give Manhattan Bridal 2 stars for responsiveness because I felt like I always had to call to follow up with the company. Everything came through in the end, but I felt like they could've have been a little more proactive. I had asked Carol for a makeup person recommendation and she never called me back even though I asked her a few times. All in all, renting your dress is a great way to save money on your wedding.

I purchased my Maggie Sottero Style "Kym" wedding gown from Highlight Studios. I've shopped around multiple stores and Highlight had the best price for my dress. They ordered my dress, it came in on time, and I was able to bargain with them and get them to throw in the bustling into the price.
