PreVue Formal & Bridal

I absolutely loved getting my dress from Prevue. I was a little skeptical at first as they have a lot of prom dresses in there and wanted it to be my wedding day, not another prom, but I so loved being able to go in there and pick out any dress I wanted to try on. This is a great place to go if you aren't sure of the exact style you want. You are given so much freedom to try on all kinds of dresses to make sure you get the perfect one. The girls in there were so helpful every single time I went in and the alterations were reasonable. I even got a floor gown which gave me a little bit of a discount. If you don't totally like to be waited on at a bridal boutique, this is a great place to go!

Janice and her staff at Prevue were the best! They took their time with the Bride in helping her find her perfect dream dress. They had a bridal party of 20 girls to deal with and had no problem! I found my "Mother of the Groom" dresses there both for the ceremony and the reception as well as my shoes and purse! The quality of the clothes and the professionalism of the staff make this store a "must go to"! Always a smile and a helpful word.

Great service and prices!! All the sales associates were very helpful. their layaway program was a life saver and they even stored my dress until my wedding date!

Lindsey at Prevue found me the perfect dress for my wedding. It was the last dress of the day and I just fell in love with it. Prevue also did all of my alterations in a very timely manner. They handled everything for me as far as the dress goes perfectly.

Prevue had an excellent selection in all price ranges. I told them the budget I was working with and they worked within that budget and didn't bring me dresses I couldn't afford. They were professional. They also have a tailor there that I used for the hem and bustle. She was excellent and reasonably priced.

Awful. I had the worst experience with this store and it created more stress than planning my entire wedding! The girls that work there are extremely unprofessional. Every time I went in to try on my dress, I had to make an appointment, but still no one helped me. I had a corset back, so you would think they would know I can't tie it by myself. However, I was left alone in the dressing room for over 15 minutes every time and I had to walk out into the store to find someone to help me. We also had an issue with the veil and I know it is a formal dress store and they accept no refunds, but there are exceptions to every rule. We were pressured to buy a veil right before closing and when I got home that night, I realized I didn't want it and it wasn't the one I was thinking of. My mom and I went back the next day when they opened (mind you, I could not have gotten married in those 12 hours and they had my dress) and they refused to refund the money and wouldn't even give us store credit until after an hour of arguing. When I came back in to use my store credit on my alterations, they said it could not be used for alterations and tried to get me to buy some jewelry that I didn't want. Eventually, after more hours of arguing, they let me use it for my alterations.

I forgot to mention that when I received my dress it had a large black stain on the inside and when I brought it to their attention they said it was because of my trying it on. Really? The manager said she would clean it and when I came back for my next fitting, it was still there. I was completely fed up with the manager, her staff, and the entire store. I would never wish this experience on any...

Best place to go for a wedding dress. The only place where I was told, "You don't have to like what we pick for you. You choose what you want." Flexible. Great selection. Reasonable prices. The women there know their merchandise. Although unexpected, hands down best place.

Fell in love with this place.... So very nice and helpful:-)

I am not a typical bride. I got married in a subdued yet fabulous red mermaid-style dress.

If you are a bridezilla, this is NOT your store. Go to the bridal salons and say ye$ to that damn dre$$.

If you don't want to be shopping in the same store as teenagers looking for prom/homecoming/pageant dresses, go elsewhere.

If you're someone who hates dress shopping and tons of fabric rustling in your ears, deal with the waves of fabric and immense selection here. This place probably has something you'll like and look great in, and they have lots of look books in case you need ideas.

The quality of the dresses in here was a step up from the stuff I had been seeing (better sewing, better fabric). They carry a wide range of sizes and colors, and have a plus-size section to cull through if you have the patience.

After collecting an armful and a half of dresses, Alex and Caitlin helped zip me into all of them and gave me their opinions. Alex even got me a pair of Spanx to wear, since I had forgotten mine at home.

(Do yourself a favor: bring your shapewear when dress shopping. It may not be the exact same thing you'll end up wearing, but you'll have a much better idea of how things will fit.)

They do get quite busy towards the end of the day and on weekends, when everyone's out of school and work. The earlier you get there, the more attention you get.

Because my dress was a sample, I had to order it in my size and color. You can choose to pay in full or put down a deposit; because my dress is so reasonably priced I chose to pay in full. They quoted me a turnaround of eight weeks, and they were right.

They offer alteration services, though I can't vouch for the quality of the workmanship since my dress didn't need much and I didn't use it. I overhear that their seamstress can do beading and rework the necklines, so if you're buying your wedding dress...

My wedding dress was beautiful as were my bridesmaid dresses! Great customer service...had to order 2 of the dresses. Had dresses on layaway which was a great help when paying for a wedding!

I loved Pre Vue!!!! the girls they have working there are so nice. I went in with a tight budget and they got me into the perfect dress for what I wanted to spend. The alterations were done perfectly and I over the 6 months that I was going in to regularly try on my dress they never told me no and always were happy to see me!!!

I bought my wedding dress at Prevue in La Mesa and my dress fitting experience was wonderful! They have tons of dresses to choose from and the ladies that work there are very helpful. They are extremely busy during prom and winter formal season so try to make your appointments outside of their busy season. They are all very nice and professional and the value is great!

They are amazing!Teri was so much help. She organized everything from my bridal attire to the bridesmaids. Great quality for a great price with above expectation service.

I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FIND MY DREAM WEDDING DRESS HERE.. BUT I DID.. AND IT WAS A FRACTION OF THE COST EVERYWHERE ELSE!

I got my shoes and my mother's dress here. The girl who helped us out was great, she was very patient and brought us dress after dress after dress. She even picked out the dress that my mother ended up purchasing. Not only were we able to purchase my mother's dress and my shoes, she also provided us with other helpful accessories. When she heard my wedding was going to be outside in the grass she got me these neat little things that would go on my heels so I would not sink in the grass. We were very pleased with our experience.

I worked with Liza, she was amazing. Some of the other girls were very rude to my bridesmaid when she went to pick up my wedding dress for me, so I would highly recommend working with Liza, and not the other girls.

They were absolutely great! They were the only store in Arizona/California that had the dress I was looking for, and it was perfect. They were easy to work with, and after a few fittings knew me by name and would greet me as soon as I walked in the door. They also put up nicely with my mother, who was a bit of a pain, since she HAD to have a certain dress. They worked with her for weeks and eventually found the dress at another store and had it sent down ASAP, as the wedding was 5 days later. Would recommend these guys any day.

I absolutely LOVE Prevue. A few of my bridesmaids and I spent a Saturday looking at dresses for me (the bride) in Dec. 2008. When any bride first gets engaged, the first thing we do is look at dresses in magazines. I looked through so many magazines and thought I found my dress after looking through a David's Bridal catalog. So, naturally my girls and I went to DB first. Unfortunately, I was let down after trying on the dress that I thought was going to be "the one."

So, my MOH decided for us to check out Prevue since it was just down the street from DB. I, of course, was reluctant to go, but I still needed to find a dress, so I did. Without having made an appointment of anything, the sales lady were willing to still help us out. Liza, was absolutely great. She treated my girls and me like we were the only customers in the place. She even let us use the BIG dressing room. I showed her a few pictures of dress styles that I liked and she went and picked out 3 dresses for me right away. One of which she said "...doesn't look great on the hanger, but when brides' try them on, it's great." Each dress I tried on, I fell in love with. I even cried after wearing the 2nd dress I tried on. However, the 3rd dress was the dress I chose. It was a Maggie Sottero which was the dress that Liza made the above comment on. My girls loved it and I loved it, but of course I had to have my mom and godmother see it before I bought it. The funny thing was that my girls and I also ended up choosing a bridesmaid dress that same day as well!!

So, a month later I set up an appointment with Liza so I could bring my mom & godmother to see the dress that I wanted. Once, again, Liza was absolutely superb. I highly recommend Prevue to anyone who needs a wedding dress or any formal dress. They have a variety of dresses to choose from and have the best people working there as well!!! They even have someone to do the alterations. I had a lengthy train, and the lady did a french bustle, which was perfect for my reception!! Liza, and all the other staff at Prevue were always courteous over the phone and in person!!

My sales rep was Nicole. I was 5 months pregnant looking for a wedding dress. They had a great selection of dresses for those who aren't pregnant (smaller sizes). Although Nicole been there for (she told me) 12 years she suggested a size too big for me (and I took her word for it because of the length of time she's been with the company) My wedding was just 3 weeks later. I had gone back a few days later after paying the deposit (I tried to call her, but she wasn't working the next day). I tried the size smaller and it would've worked. So to make a long story short, I had to pay extra for a bigger size and extra for more alterations. I expressed my disappointment, in which she looked suprised, but didn't do anything about it.

The people here were so nice & understanding. I changed my mind umpteen times about the style of dress I wanted all the bridesmaids to wear, then had to change sizes a couple times when I gave them wrong info, then had to deal with my complicated payment schedule... and they all dealt with it with a smile.

I did end up having some trouble with the balance that was owed, but they were more than happy to sit down with me to figure it out, and it turned out I owed even less than what I thought.

Also, if you are shopping during prom season (February - April) - watch out for the crazy teen shoppers & their overbearing parents! Probably best to go when they aren't there (early morning, or weekday).

This place has EVERYTHING. Just make sure that you make an appointment, and the earlier, the better. Ask for Nicole (I had an appointment with another girl there and it ended up being that she scheduled me on her day ! WTF?!, Nicole stepped right in and helped me and my bridal party of 7, even though she had another appointment at the same time. No quality of service was lost). They have great dresses ranging from $250 - $3k, so something for every budget. They also have shoes, veils, MOB dresses, BM dresses, FG dresses, even prom and pageant. Great store!

Prevue is a good place to shop for mainly wedding dresses and high school prom dresses (and Quinceaneras). They have a ton of "sale" dresses to choose from which you buy right off of the rack for the "as is" price OR they can order a brand new one for you at full price. They do have a lot to choose from and most of the girls that work there are very friendly and personable. Janice (the manager) was very helpful and it was apparent that she has been in the business for a while. She is extremely accomodating and does what she can to make sure that the customer is completely happy with their purchase. That store also sales jewelry and headbands/tiaras so theoretically it can be a "one-stop shop". They have an in-house seamstress (who does a phenomonal job) and can take care of the cleaning/steaming/etc within the store. All in all, they were very professional and helpful and I would recommend giving this store a chance when shopping for your perfect wedding gown.

I really liked Prevue and Im glad I got my dress, veil, shoes, and jewerly there. The sales women there are very friendly and helpful. Some times when I went there it was really busy so the saleswomen couldnt help me right away but they did there best with so many customers. The alterations they did were great and I had no complaints. The only thing that was kind of weird was that I had to pay for my alterations when I first got fitted and not after they were dont and I went to pick it up. Ive always had to pay after the alterations are done in the passed. But besides that they were great.

I had a great experience with this vendor the sals girl was very helpful and went out of her way to make my experience a good one.

Prevue was a fantastic place for me to get my dress. My salesperson Courtney was fantastic. She was always friendly and available to help me even if I didn't have an appointment. The day I came to pick up my dress it was not steamed as had been promised but they quickly got it to the seamstress and had it ready within an hour. I was really impressed with the customer service skills and their seamstress was fantastic. My dress looked absolutely beautiful and I could not have been happier.

Young, contemporary, fun women wedding attire! I got my dress and veil here and they were very helpful in making the dress "my own" (alterations).

Amazing

I got my wedding dress at PreVue and I love it ..it was beautiful. I ordered it on line and when I picked it up in person it was exactly as discribed.

I looked for my dress early on and found and ordered it with plenty of time. I loved my dress and had no problems except for the alterations. I took my dress in 3 times and was never completely happy. She was rude, didn't appear to listen or care to what I had to say, and did a poor job on what alterations she did do. Also, one of my bridesmaids got her dress though here, and when her dress finally came in, it was the wrong one, and the new one she got 2 weeks later didn't fit. Since most bridal stores have pretty strict no return/refund policy, we unfortunately had to have the same lady do her alterations. She had the same bad experience I did. Overall, the store has a great selection of dresses and most the staff is very nice, but take your alterations somewhere else.

I don't live in San Diego, but got married there, and they were very helpful over the phone and in person. They don't get five stars because only most of their staff was helpful, some of the girls seemed to have their heads in the clouds some days, but I guess we all get that way. Overall, I'd highly suggest this vendor. The price on my dress was better than I found anywhere.

I found the bridesmaids dresses at Prevue- they were the ony store in town that carried them. They have a great selection and their employees are professional and helpful. One of my bridesmaid lived out of town and they were great accomdating her needs since she couldn't come down beforehand. I loved the dresses and the way they looked on my bridal party- I highly recommend Prevue.
