This was the best experience I could have ever ask...

This was the best experience I could have ever asked for. Slightly overwhelmed by the whole wedding experience, my mother came down from nearly 3 hours away. After finding a couple dresses at nearby places we were less than thrilled. I was panicked because she had to leave the next day. We happen to drive by Marie Gabriel's and figured we'd give it a shot. They were a half hour from closing but were SO welcoming. The owner even came out and offered my mother and i mimosas.

Every other place we went to before Marie Gabriel's we felt like we were bothering the employees... not here. Peggy took me under her wing and was so welcoming. My mom and I kind of gave each other a look like: "There's no way we can afford this." Peggy walked me through what I liked and what I didn't and even asked me what word I would want people to remember my dress and our wedding as. NO ONE had ever been this thorough or cared this much. When we told her our price range, she said not a problem and took me to a special line.

She was amazing and found me MY dress after only trying on two. Peggy was great at what she does and even does some of the alternations so she suggested a removable train for my casual reception. I didn't even know you could do that!!

She did up my hair and put me in shoes and a veil and I just knew. I'm indecisive and she was SOOO patient and walked me around the shop to look in different mirrors)... When I finally said yes, EVERYONE came out of what they were doing to clap and cheer for me... Quite possibly the coolest experience ever.

Best part: Got the veil an the dress for less than what the other dresses were costing at the competitors. Whatever you want: budget, experience, high-end... they treat you like a princess.

Thank you EVERYONE at Marie Gabriel.
