Moni's Bridal and Fashion

Moni's has a HUGE selection of bridal gowns. When I had pretty much given up my search, I went there and found the dress of my dreams. And then the staff helped me find the perfect, matching bridesmaid and flower girl dresses. Everything I ordered arrived on time and in perfect condition, and all of the staff that I interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful. If you are in the market for a wedding dress, bridesmaid dress, flower girl dress, or any bridal accessories (veil, headpiece, shoes, and/or jewelry), I would highly recommend that you check out the huge selection that they have at Moni's. I got all of those things from them and couldn't have been happier with the results.

I did find the dress of my dreams here but I wish I would have found another place for alterations. They do have a great selection and the prices are not to bad. I would not recommend having your alterations done there. The owner is rude, and goes back on her quotes. I don't think she did that great of a job on my very expensive bustle either as it kept coming undone all night. The alterations ended up being 50% of the cost of the original dress and that is just for the hem and bustle. We also ordered all of our bridesmaids dresses through Moni's and were over charged for alterations for those as well. Stay away.

I went to 3 different locations to select my wedding dress, but Moni's Bridal was the best choice for me. It's a friendly neighborhood boutique with so many dresses to choose from! They encourage you to try on as many dresses as you would like (this is a BONUS because the other places I visited, I could only try on a few....) The ladies helped me find the exact dress I was looking for and specifically for my body type.

Fore me, it was truly a one-stop shop! I ordered my bridal gown and bridesmaids dresses, veil, jewelry, crinoline and they even did my alterations! Honestly, I didn't have to go anywhere else for my wedding! It's not super busy like other shops, especially during the week, which is good because they can give you one-on-one attention =) They go the extra mile for you and they WANT you to have YOUR special day!!

Here's a quick story: During my final fitting, I got lipstick on my dress :( Not to worry though because Moni came to the rescue and within a few minutes, the lipstick disappeared!!! What a sigh of relief!

On the day of my wedding, my dress looked fantastic and so did my bridesmaids...thanks to Moni and her team! I'm so glad I went to Moni's Bridal!

I purchased my bridal gown from Moni's, and my bridesmaids purchased their dresses as well. Moni's offers an excellent selection of gowns as well as bridesmaids dresses. Moni is also extremely knowledgeable, and made me very comfortable with ordering my gown based off of her measurements.

We had some bad luck with one of the bridesmaid's dresses coming in at the wrong size (to the fault of the Vendor, not Moni's). This occurred while Moni was on vacation, and it was very difficult to communicate with the other employees to come to an appropriate solution. Finally, Gina was able to talk to Moni and gave us an option to fix the dress so that it fit the bridesmaid properly.

I would recommend Moni's for their great selection and Moni's expert seamstress ability, but not for handling customer service issues in a professional manner.

Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Moni Bridal! Moni herself was present for nearly every visit and the staff there was nothing less than patient, fun, and professional.

My gown alterations were exquisite!

I had trouble with booking a time to pick up my gown- I work full time and felt there was not much flexibility there. No bride wants that extra stress. When I picked up my dress after alterations were done, dress was pressed, and all alteration markings were removed, the dress was on a dress form. This prevented me from being allowed to try the gown on one last time to check for any mistakes or flaws. Spending a hefty portion of the wedding budget on my gown, I would have liked to try it on prior to taking it out of the salon. There were a couple marks from the steaming on the gown, but the salesclerk kindly removed them quickly and effectively.

When all was said and done my gown was perfect and fit me like a glove! Thank you Moni Bridal for making me look and feel like a million bucks!

The quality of service when I was looking for my dress was disappointing. They don't take appointments so it was crowded and felt like you had to fight for a room to try on dresses. Moni's has an amazing selection of plus size dresses, which was difficult to find at other Bridal Shops. Moni was able to take my dress in when I lost almost 30 lbs for my wedding which I didn't mind paying the extra cost to do so. My dress was perfect, but unfortunately my Mom's dress had issues, the day of the wedding her wedding strap broke and she had to safety pin it at the reception, which is not acceptable when she paid over $400 for her dress.

I have completely mixed reviews on Moni and her store, so I'll start with the positives....the selection (bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, jewelery, veils, hair accessories, shoes purses) and prices are OUTSTANDING! I went to 4 other bridal boutiques and the selection, quality, and price at Moni's far surpassed those of the other stores!

However, I do believe that they have relied on their selection and prices to draw in clients that they may have a hard time keeping once the sale has been made. The other ladies in the store were always helpful, kind, and very easy to work with, but Moni was difficult at times. She is very strongly oppinionated and can be quite condescending, even when trying to be sweet.

We had issues with the way she ordered the length of my dress, and when it came in wwaayyyy too long (her mistake), she told me she was sure I had ordered it in that length on purpose (???) and that she didn't have the time or resources to shorten it properly (because of the intricate lace detailing on the whole gown). She suggested that I buy very tall heels instead of altering it, despite the fact that I made it VERY clear from our first visit that my husband to be is only 5'7" and is sensitive about his height, and that I would be wearing flats on our wedding day!

However, she did wind up altering it at the last minute and it was PERFECT by the time I walked down the aisle. The dress was stunning--exactly what I had pictured in my head all these years! And the price was great for the quality! My mom's dress and all 4 of my bridesmaid's dresses were also purchased there at a great price (she gave us a group discount) and came out beautifully as well! And truth be told--she did make me feel like a pricess before and after the shortening situation. So, at the end of the day, was I happy?......Yes, which is ultimately what matters most, and I would reccommend Moni's to other brides in the future!

Moni was was extremely helpful and doing everything she could to upsell me during the purchase of my dress, promise me it would be "perfect - I will make it perfect for you". I was thrilled after I bought the dress. But when it came time for my first fitting - she wanted nothing to do with it or me. I had an appointment for the fitting, and was ignored for over 20 minutes when I got there (the store was slow), once she brought out the dress, I had no direction, had no help to get shoes in my size, Moni was not helpful at all, she was rude and did her best to talk me out of any changes. She kept disappearing into the back while I stood in the store in my dress awaiting direction, she would come out for a couple minutes, then go in the back again, and then she came out a last time and told me she would not do my alterations - I should go elsewhere (which by the way would have only been to hem the dress and slightly alter the neckline). Yes - I was fired by Moni as a paying client - I was planning on having her do my alterations, and buy my shoes from her so they could be dyed to match. Admittedly, I was anxious, but not a bridezilla by any means. Apparently once the sale is made, the customer service is over. I would strongly recommend to any bride, bridesmaid, MOB out there to NOT go to this store. I ended up with a beautiful dress which needed altering, but I would never recommend this store to anyone - EVER. I wish I had taken these reviews seriously before I went.

I found my dress here, and it was the second one I tried on. I was a little worried it might not fit me right when it was ordered, because I wanted it REALLY fit in the middle so that I felt like I had a waist (since I'm very straight up and down). They assured me that it would be perfect. When it came in I was really worried because I had lost some weight and I was swimming in it, but Moni altered it perfectly. I was still worried it might be a little big by the time the wedding rolled around, because I was going to Korea for a month before the wedding, and was planning on working out there too. So she took it in half an inch on either side for me, and by the wedding day it fit like a dream! I wasn't expecting the alterations to be quite so expensive, but her expertise in fitting it to my body was, in my opinion, worth it. I felt beautiful on my wedding day. Thank you!

Moni and her staff were wonderful, they make sure they attend to your every need.

Though I've heard a lot of mixed reviews, my Moni's experience was completely positive. I dealt mostly with Cathy & Cynthia, though I did speak to Moni, as well. They price matched for me, my dress came in ahead of schedule and I didn't encounter any problems. I did not, however, have my alterations done there, so I cannot speak to their quality or price.

Though many people seem to like Moni's Bridal, I had a really negative experience with them. My dress was reasonably priced, and the staff was very good about helping me find my dress. Once my dress came in, however, the helpfulness stopped. Everyday following the day I purchased my dress, the staff was rude, inconsiderate and quite frankly, mean to me. Moni yelled at me hard enough to make me cry, none of our groomsmen had tux's that fit the day before the wedding, and my maitron of honor's dress was altered incredibly wrong. We had to pin the dress together on her or else it would've fallen off. Moni also wasn't going to give me my 10% off of my dress that she had promised. She told me it was my responsibility to remind her to honor the discount. She also charged me a fortune ($270) to hem my gown, after quoting me $125 when I bought the dress. I was very unhappy overall, and I felt like an inconvenience to Moni and her staff rather than a paying customer.

We love Moni's!!! Very personable service and she is a very talented seamstress that can turn any dress into your dream dress! The web site is very well set-up as well. One note - they do not take checks!

They were excellent

Moni was absolutely amazing. She did a phenomenal job with my wedding dress. The alterations turned out great. She was also able to alter the bridesmaid dresses in a day. One of my bridesmaid flew in Friday and the wedding was the next day. Moni was able to alter the dress in less than a day.

Overall I had a good experience. Was shown several bridesmaid dresses until I found what I liked, but felt like owner was a little too pushy. Did not receive any alterations from this location.

Moni's was great, I found the dress I liked there, ordered it, and they did all the alterations too. My dress got stuck in China during the earthquakes and came about two months late. Moni's was on the phone with the designer and kept me updated before I even had a chance to call them. The only problem I had with them was with the alterations. They charged me an arm and a leg (practically as much as the dress itself cost) for alterations. And I never knew what the cost was going to be until after I had my first fitting. Also, I'm not sure how this happened, but when I went to put on my dress on the wedding day, the clasp at the top of the zipper was broken, well one side of it wasn't there. This ended up being a huge headache for me all day, because my zipper kept coming unzipped. My mom, bridesmaids, and DOC tried to sew it multiple times to no avail. We tried to safety pin it but it wouldn't work. I'm not sure if it was broken during alterations or what. On the plus side, I only had to have the dress altered once, it fit perfectly at the second fitting.

Moni's has a large selection of bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses. Anything you order through them will be gorgeous. You are paying for quality. They have a nice selection of tiaras, veils, and bridal jewelry.

Moni was absolutely incredible. She treated my girls and I like total princesses. She was patient as I tried on about 20 different dresses, and she even helped pull additional dresses that she thought I might like (which by the way the one that I picked was one that she picked out for me!). And, with getting my dress from her, she gave all my girls 10% off their dresses. She orders all her dresses straight from the vendor, so no need to worry about getting a used dress. And, if she doesn't have the dress in her store, she is willing to order it especially for you. And she is an amazing seamstress. So, even if a dress is found somewhere else, I highly recommend taking any dress to her for alterations.
