Minerva's Bridal Suite

Minerva's has an excellent selection of gorgeous gowns for women of all shapes and sizes. They were really helpful and found my dream dress on the first try! I also bought my accessories there and they were beautiful. Out of all of the bridal shops that I went to, Minerva's made me feel the most comfortable! They were great!

Minerva's was the first place I went to, the second dress I tried on I absolutely loved. But I wanted to try on others. There were many other, nicer looking boutiques; however, I had fallen in love with the dress I had tried on. Minerva's boutique appeared crowded with a lot of merchandise. Christine was extremely nice. Nonetheless, the alterations were a bit pricey, not only for my dress, but for my bridesmaids too. Minerva's was also great, but the tailor was not very professional. I had seen various bridesmaid dresses online that they did not carry and, that was a bit upsetting, I did ended up getting the bridesmaids dresses elsewhere. I loved my dress!

Like most brides, I went to several different bridal shops to find the perfect dress. After months of looking, I ended up purchasing the very first dress that I tried on at Minerva's and I am so happy that I did! The dress was so beautiful and it fit me like a glove! Minerva and her staff, including the seamstress, did such a spectacular job. My now husband rented all the tuxes from the adjoining tux shop; they were wonderful as well! Absolutely no hiccups with the dress or tuxes. Bravo to Minervas!

I loved my dress and the alterations were done well, but I was really upset when I unpacked my dress and all the strings that were supposed to be cut off when it was steamed were not. I also found 3 holes in the lace of my dress. Did anyone else, see them, no...but I knew they were there. The sample I tried on was full sheets of lace, but when I got the dress it was lace flowers sewn on tulle. They said that's just how they come. I worked with Christine who was always helpful and was very nice. My mother lives out of town and I tried on dresses by myself and I was pretty bummed they wouldn't let me take pictures to email to her. I liked other boutiques a lot better, but Minerva's is what I could afford. They're nice, but I felt like one of many getting hurded in and out.

I had already tried on dozens of dresses by the time I went to Minerva's. It was the only place I went by myself, and I originally only went to see what would be at their trunk show the following Sunday.After Christine (who was AWESOME!) tried several different dresses on me, trying to stay within my budget (which, I know, was way too small, but I'm frugal), she said "I have an idea. There's a dress that's just been sitting in the back for a while, and I'm not certain what they're doing with it, so let me check. I'll be right back."It was perfect. It fit perfectlly. It was a totally different style than I had originally wanted, but it had all of the right elements. And it was one from their private line...and had been discontinued! We couldn't find a picture, and the straps in the back seemed a little odd, so we played around with them, and Christine made it beautiful (and, it turns out, different from the original idea, but much better in my opinion!). They knocked a huge chunk off the price, because it was discontinued, and had been around for a little while, and I was trying to stay within a budget, etc. I only ended up going a tiny bit over my little budget.I ended up getting my earrings there, which I love. And my alterations...which actually ended up being a lot more than expected, and they were really basic; they had to bustle, hem, and take in the straps slightly-the hem was more expensive than anything, and it was barely a chapel length train.I was one of the first brides to have her final fitting in their new fitting area, which is lovely! I'm so glad they did that, because when I went it for my other fitting, it was just too crowded, and a bit frustrating with all of the waiting, as they would be short staffed, trying to work with the girls who hadn't bought anything yet. I totally understand that, being in retail. It was just a little frustrating, but they seem to have fixed that issue with the new shop next door!Christine was fantastic! She was there for every fitting, even the extra when I brought my Mom (who lives OOT) to see the dress after I bought it; and they graciously kept my dress there so that my fiance didn't see it:)Absolutely wonderful! I will recommend them to everyone!

I had the pleasure of dealing with a couple of ladies at this store and I really want to thank them for all their help. They helped contact the designer when I found out my husband received deployment orders and we had to move up the wedding. I only had four weeks between the time I ordered the dress to my new wedding date. They kept in contact with the designer and were able to get my dress to me the Monday before the wedding. They were even able to alter it. They were so helpful and I really appreciate everything they did for me. Thank you so much!

Minerva's was the first and last place that I went to look for a wedding dress. The selection was very diverse and ranged with many styles. I picked out three dresses, and the second one I loved and purchased. All of the ladies at Minerva's were very helpful and made me feel beautiful. The pricing for the dress was good, however the pricing for the alterations is what really needs some attention. My dress was taken in twice, and I hadn't lost a significant amount of weight in between, but I was still charged even when I questioned it. When I had some bra inserts sewn in, they were too high and it didn't make my chest look right at all, but they took them out and lowered them, and everything was back "in place". My mother also was looking for a dress there, and we found the perfect dress in the perfect color for her. Since she was visiting from New York we put a deposit down and left completely happy. It was a couple of days later we got a phone call and were told that the dress is no longer being made. :( We didn't want to purchase the floor gown as it wasn't the right color, so we went to Davids Bridal instead. I would reccommend Minerva's Bridal to any Bride, I loved my dress and it was absolutely gorgeous!

They were great- Had a couple of situations happen but worked it out. The alterations were a bit pricey. I got my jewelry else where at the cost was a bit pricey there. I would recommend them for a dress.

I walked into an empty Minerva's with my mother and several bridesmaids and waited for several minutes before anyone was in the room to greet us. Though the prices and selection were varied enough, they had a policy of not allowing photos to be taken of me trying on dresses and not telling me the gown or designer name. I did love one dress, but had no way of looking up the designer to see if I could find it at a better cost. Overall, it wasn't the warmest experience I've had and I decided to bring my business elsewhere.

I went in looking for a particular designer but they didn't carry the dress I was looking for but instead they pulled dresses similar to my taste. Needless to say the first dress I put on was a stunning Sophia Tolli creation. I bought the dress right there. They were very flexible with payments and pick up. Loved this place, highly recommend it!

I bought an absolutely beautiful Sophia Tolli dress from Minerva's. There was a mix-up with the delivery date, but it arrived on time despite of that. Minerva took my measurements when I originally ordered the dress. She measured me perfectly, and I didn't require ANY alterations at all. Her and her staff are incredibly professional and courteous. I would recommend them to everyone!!

I wasn´t looking for anything too fancy. In the prom section I ended up finding this beautiful although simple gown. I received a lot of compliments! And we went to check the tux section without previous appointment and they were also great! I ended up get my hair accessory and jewelry there too. Definitely recommended!!!

I tried on probably 100 dresses no lie. I walk into Minerva's and tried on 2.. number 2.. the dress! It was beautiful. I got so many compliments.

I had tried on several dresses, and Minerva's was the last stop of the day. My sister and Mom picked out a few dresses for me, and then the women helping me picked a few out. I didn't like the one she picked out on the hanger, but when I put in on, I started crying and just knew it was the dress for me!Minerva's was great from beginning to end!

Minerva is an outstanding individual, along with her husband Jim, both of whom handled my bridal gown and the the tuxedo rentals. Minerva and several of her staff went beyond the call of duty in helping me get dressed on the day of my wedding, and I appreciated the personal attention and care provided to me. Minerva's seamstress is an awesome lady who handled my many gown alterations.There was a slight problem early in our working with a couple staff members providing incorrect information on shoe ordering/bridesmaids gown order, and later failing to call me when my shoes and bridal gown had arrived at the store. However, after calling those problems to Minerva's attention, those issues appear to have been resolved. Excepting for the earlier experience above, I enjoyed working with Minerva and her staff and would highly recommend their services to couples planning their wedding attire. Thanks again, Minerva!

Minerva's was the only place I looked. The staff was great and so were the prices. I found my dress after only trying on a few!

Loved working with Minerva's. I bought my wedding dress, second shorter reception dress, and all of the groomsman tuxes there.They were professional, honest, and everything was priced wonderfully.Highly recommend!

Minerva's was fantastic!!!! Even though I had bought my wedding dress somewhere else, I choose her to help me with my Jr bridesmaid’s dress! You would have never thought it would be so perfectly matched to my other bridesmaid’s! Minerva and her staff never made me feel bad for not buying my other dress there; her goal was to make sure to please me with the one dress! Now, I did go next door to UPTOWN Tux with Jimmy, her son, for the tuxes!!! Jimmy worked with me on matching the color vest with the all the groomsmen and ushers and father inlaw and my escort! Most of the guys were out of town and there was no stress on getting measurements from out of town. It all was smooth and boy did they all look GOOD!I have known other to buy there wedding dress from her and was amazed and beautiful! I also bought a few bridesmaids dress from her prior. She is wonderful person and I do love her shop! I would have bought my wedding dress from her if she was my 1st stop! Thank you for everything Minerva & Jimmy!!!! XOXO

I was relieved to finally visit Minerva's after visiting eight bridal shops in Central Florida. There selection of wedding gowns is very tasteful and their service is excellent. My wedding dress will arrive in four months instead of the six months it takes other bridal shops to receive the dress. So far I am very impressed with the quality and beauty of Minerva's dresses and professionalism. I give them four stars only because I have not completed my business relationship with them.

I returned to this store numerous times to try on my gown before i purchased it. The employees there were great to work with. I had a screaming baby and a stroller along with a dressing room full of gowns and the people there were so patient and wonderful to work with. I would defiently go here again for any formal attire.
5 stars for customer service!

On the first visit my sales associate didn't seem to happy that I wanted to try on as many styles as possible...isn't that the point? I found the perfect gown after several tries. I then came back another day to try it on again to make sure and to purchase it. I thought it was a reasonable price and the lady I spoke with that day was friendly. I paid half down non refundable to have it ordered and was told they would call me as soon as they got a delivery date. They never called I had to call them. Then I was told they would call when it had been shipped, they didn't call. So I called around the time they said to expect a call. The gentleman this call said oh yes it shipped out 3 days ago and should be here tomorrow, we'll call you. You guessed it no call. I waited a week and called. It had been there for 4 days. I am frustrated that I am paying a good amount of money and I am having to keep calling them for updates. I think they should be calling me. I have not gone for the fittings yet I plan to wait until after the holidays. ;o)

I like minerva's beautifal gowns ( i bought my wedding dress there) They are a little expensive though! But they were very helpful throughout my process

My dress was gorgeous!! And they are very helpful.

Minerva was so wonderful!! The dress selection was the best in town, as were the prices and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Unlike some shops, Minerva's is only concerned with helping find your perfect dress so you will feel fabulous on your wedding day. The selection process was relaxed and without pressure and the alterations were fast and accurate. I would not recommend going to anyone but Minerva for your dress. Thank you, Minerva's, the dress was perfect!!

I got a wonderful Sophia Tolli bridal gown from Minerva's Bridal Suite. The bridal gown was simply amazing. I went in and they really put a lot of time into making sure I was happy their services and they really showed me around. I tried on many bridal gowns but it did not take long at all for me to find my Sophia Tolli bridal gown that I had to have. I was really happy about the whole experience I had with them as they are really good place to go.

Minerva is wonderful. Even if she doesn't have a dress that you like in stock. She will find one for you. Promise.

My experience at Minerva's was pretty good overall, but I have to admit that I expected better customer service from them since I was spending so much on my gown. They also treated me differently (less courteous) once I told them I was getting my alterations done by someone else. I would still go there again, but I think they could work on their customer service skills.

Beautiful dress at a great price...

At first I wasn’t too thrilled with Minerva and her staff. Mainly because she hides the real designer tags, so you can’t price compare. I think it’ s wrong, but totally understand where she’s coming from. All in all her staff was very helpful, and knew my name each time I came into the shop. They did a great job altering my dress, and made sure that my dress was wrinkle free for the big day!

Minerva's was such a pleasure to work with. I went to many different bridal salons to try and find my perfect gown. At all the other salons I just felt like a number but at Minerva's everyone made me feel like I was special. I would recommend Minerva's to anyone searching for their perfect gown.

I couldn't be happier with my, and my girls, gowns. They were absolutely perfect and we were all WELL taken care of. It was easy to book appointments, even last minute ones for those of us who aren't as organized as we want to be. I can't tell you how many compliments I got on my gown and my maids thank me too b/c they can wear their gowns again. Wonderful service, Minerva really knows how to pamper her brides!

Minerva has very unique gowns. I got an absolutely sexy & beautifull dress from Minerva. Go check her out.. you will definitely like what you see.

Patty was so helpful and professinal. She helped me to better choose my wedding gown. Minerva was very flexible with the payments. They were fabulous!

I found a beautiful dress at this shop; and overall they had a very nice selection of bridal gowns and brides maid dresses. I also bought my slip, veil, and jewelery at this shop. They have high quality items and are very helpful and professional. The only problem I had was with alterations. At my second fitting I was not happy with the way the bottom of my dress drug on the floor and curled up under my dress. At first they were reluctant to do more alterations and tried to talk me out of it. I knew that since I was having an outdoor wedding, I would end up with grass stains on the front of my dress. They did eventually agree and correctly altered the dress with no other problems.

We bought my daughters wedding dress here and I am one of the Pastors at Discovery Church right down the road from them. They did a great job and the prices were good too. Pastor Kirk Bane
