Mariolka's Bridal Boutique

I drove 4 1/2 hours to get the only dress in Florida from Sottero and Midgley 2011 collection. They had a sample in the store. They were amazing with their patience and understanding. She made the dress fit me and my body as oppose to me fitting the dress.

Mariolka saved my wedding!! I went to her with a dress I had purchased at an charity auction, there were some damages to the dress but I was told they could be fixed. After taking my dress to Mariolkas 4 months before my wedding she told me it was going to cost more money to fix then what I had paid. (She was the 3rd person I had brought my dress to.) Long story short she helped me find a dress and had it ready for my wedding. She worked out a payment plan with me as well. My 2nd wedding dress was "my dress" it was outstanding she altered it to fit me perfectly and made several changed to create my dream dress. She is very patient and gives outstanding service in her shop!! I will recommend her to anyone looking for their dream gown.

The owners (husband & wife) seem nice at first, but BEWARE!!! I bought my bridal gown and my four bridesmaids bought theirs dresses there as well. Mariolka and I negotiated a deal on my dress, which included alterations. The receipt had the total amount on it and deducted from it as I made payments. One week before my wedding, I was charged two hundred extra dollars and was told that this was for alterations, which they were now saying is charged by the amount altered and was not included in my original price... On the phone Mariolka hung up on me. My fiance called back the next day and said they would not refund any money and this was the amount. I would never have agreed to buy that dress if I had known the alterations were based on the amount altered. it is not my fault the dress did not come in my size AND they gave me one total price at the very beginning. There is not much you can do one week before the wedding. We had no choice but to pay it. A complaint has been filed with the BBB. DO NOT PURCHASE YOUR DRESS FROM THERE!!

I had three other experiences with bridal stores that were just horrible. I only went to Mariolka's Bridal with my Maid of Honor so that I could see the dress she wanted to get, and I wasn't expecting to find THE dress there, let alone receive absolute perfect and wonderful service. My salesgirl, Maria, was a total doll! All I did was tell her what I liked, my size and my budget, and the first and only dress she brought out was perfect. I fell in love with it even before I tried it on, and it was on sale! They accept payments in installments, and their alterations are spot on! I can't say enough about there Customer Service and their honest interest in making sure every bride has a beautiful dress.
