If you are looking to dress shop at a classy and modern salon with experienced and professional staff, I would highly recommend you go the the Marie Gabriel Couture Bridal salon to find your own wedding dress. A good friend referenced me to the salon, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I bought my wedding dress here and have already recommended several of my bride-to-be friends to the salon. I would make the same recommendation to you, and here is why:

1. Customer Service
This store has amazing customer service that goes above and beyond to work with you to ensure you know your options. After being dead set on a designer line carried by Marie Gabriel Couture, I phoned the salon about a specific dress that I was interested in. The dress wasn't carried in the store, but they quickly informed me that it is sometimes available during the designer's trunk show. The owner and staff at the salon worked with me far in advance to give me trunk show dates for this designer so I could have the best selection and price. They worked their butts off in the mean time, and had the dress I requested shipped to the salon, so it was there for me to try on. Talk about customer service - they went out of their way to be sure I was able to take this dress into consideration.

2. Friendly, Experienced, and Professional Staff
When I arrived, the owner and staff greeted my family and me and were all extremely friendly and helpful. They walked us around the salon and helped me select gowns to try on. I ask a lot of questions and they happily and professionally answered them! As a very researched shopper, I very much appreciated their honesty, opinions, and advice regarding the dresses and accessories I tried on. After trying on the dress that I thought I would love and that had shipped to the store for me to see, I was unsure. I tried on several other dresses prior to making a decision. The staff working with me recommended a similar style dress they thought I would like. I ended up going with their recommendation, which was actually less expensive than the dress that had been shipped to the store per my request! They were honest with me on what looked best and worked for my wedding day, and weren't concerned about making the best sale, which spoke volumes in my eyes. I truly appreciated this!!

3. Overall Positive Experience
Needless to say I bought my dress at the salon, and would do it again in a heart beat. All of the staff was so helpful and worked with me to customize the dress to my taste with the right color, size, and accessories to boot. They also helped me pick out my veil and belt, both of which complete the look. Overall, the staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and fun, which created such a positive experience that met my expectations for what shopping for your wedding dress should truly be like. They made me feel special and helped me make the right decision.
