Once Upon A Time Weddings Reviews

This bridal shop is what every new bride should experience, it's totally worth the trip! They are so friendly, passionate about what they do cause it shows and you feel comfortable being one-on-one in private rooms with your bride tribe. I truly felt like a princess when I said yes to the dress, and with their exclusive gorgeous gowns I'm confident you will find what you're looking for. Finding your dream dress should be stress free, and the last thing I wanted was a rushed busy atmosphere which you won't find here.

I had seen OUAT on social media through other weddings and knew when my time came that I wanted to go and try on gowns there. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the fantastic experience I would have, even with all the positive reviews. Sharon made me feel so at ease when I wasn t sure about something and thoroughly explained every detail about each gown. I have a feeling she knew what I wanted before I did because she left the dress I ended up buying in the dressing room even though I must have put on another eight or nine after! My maids of honour also ended up getting their dresses there a few months later. They weren t just appointments, they are fantastic memories that I will always carry with me. If you are looking for outstanding customer service and unique wedding gowns, you don t need to look any further.

After a long day at other shops searching for a gown, I was beginning to think I wouldn't be saying "yes to the dress" yesterday. Thanks to the staff for taking their time in helping me find "the one" without feeling like there was a time restraint on my appointment; especially in the midst of moving locations. It was an amazing and personal experience, I would recommend this boutique to anyone!

Such a great experience here! Rebecca was incredibly helpful in helping me narrow down the look I was going for and found me my wedding dress! She was so accommodating to my family who came with me as well. So glad I found my dress here!!!

Erin and her team are fantastic, to say the least! The gowns, prices and service are amazing, and their selection is exquisite. I highly recommend Once Upon a Time to all brides and bridal parties looking for their dresses. Truly a boutique experience with personal individualized service. The only issue is trying to choose just one!

Amazing customer service. They went above and beyond to make sure I found my dream dress!

Greeted well and a very pleasant time while i was there

Great local bridal store catering to brides throughout SW Ontario. Unique selection of Bridal Gowns and great boutique atmosphere.

I worked in the bridal and fashion industry so my standards were incredibly high. I actually didn't expect to even be able to find a dress I liked and thought I would have to have something custom made. I was incredibly impressed with what this store had to offer. They exceeded my expectations in service, sizes available in samples, styles and price. Thank you for making wedding gown shopping such an enjoyable experience !

I had been to 5 other stores before finally making the trip out to Once Upon A Time, and I was blown away by the difference here! The care, attention, and effort that they put into making sure each bride has a great experience was completely unique and refreshing. Definitely worth the visit - even if they don't have the dress for you, it's a wonderful, personalized experience that will remind you of how wedding dress shopping is supposed to be :)

This boutique by far has exceeded my expectations. Having been in my friends wedding last summer, I endured the business of a traditional bridal store where it was pure insanity. Once Upon a Time Weddings came up in my instagram when I was starting to plan for my upcoming wedding. I can't begin to say how lovely Erin and her team are. I had gone in prior to my bridal dress shopping date to take a look at the shop and loved the private suites for you and your bridal party - much better than a crammed change room. There is a curtain that sections off where you would try on your dresses which is roomy. Rebecca who helped me pick our my dress was super sweet and attentive. She listened to what I was looking for. I only tried on 5 dresses but I picked it that day! They were also very wonderful when I came in last week to shop for bridesmaids dresses and we found those easily too. OUTW is absolutely wonderful and I have already recommended it to a few other friends who recently got engaged. Thank you for your amazing service!

I reached out to Once Upon A Time Weddings to make an appointment. I was excited to start my dress shopping and felt it was important to to shop local. I was extremely impressed with the amount of detail that OUTW put in before I even stepped into their shop. I was asked to complete a questionnaire and then had a follow up telephone conversation with a consultant. When I arrived to look at dressed, Erin had pulled 5 dresses for me based on our prior conversations. I was elated when every dress that was pulled was s direct reflection of my own vision. I purchased my dress that day, along with my veil and belt.
I was provided with a binder of information that contained time guide for planning a wedding, contact information for a seamstress, sample invitations and a tipping guide for vendors.
My dress came in exactly as I ordered it, and arrived when OUTW had told me it would.
I, at every chance I get, recommend brides, maids, and moms to visit the shop in Strathroy.

My experience could not have been better. After trying on 50+ dresses at various other stores, Erin was the only one who helped me see that the style I had been trying was not the style that my heart was after. I came to her extremely stressed, discouraged, and frankly exhausted. I thought I had run out of options and was preparing to settle for a dress that was just okay. Not only did she calm me down and help me to feel comfortable, but she encouraged me to try something different and helped me find the perfect dress for me. She accommodated all my requests and even went the extra mile to contact the designer about some very particular questions/requests that I had. I am incredibly grateful for this amazing experience, Erin really made finding my dream dress possible. Thank you so much!!! If you haven't been here, you definitely NEED to check it out!! This is a dream spot for any bride-to-be

I had an amazing experience at this shop! Sharon helped me figure out what I was really looking for in a dress and played a big role in helping me find my wedding dress. Although, I didn't end up getting my dress here, I would highly recommend putting this shop on your list!
The environment is very intimate as there are individual rooms with couches for your friends/family rather than one open space.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Erin from Once Upon a Time Weddings for more then 8 years now. She has been a friend, someone I can learn from and collaborate with.
Erin always demonstrates being both knowledgeable and supportive. She has been generous in her time and I look forward to every wedding we do, every styled shoot we have collaborated on, every networking event, and every coffee date.
Nothing short of professional, positive, and insanely supportive

I had a last minute dress emergency and needed a new dress a week before my wedding, and am so grateful I stumbled upon this place while frantically googling. Erin was incredibly helpful and kind, and found me the perfect dress. I m so happy I went here!

I can't begin to express how wonderful this experience was! Thank you so much Erin for a wonderful experience finding my wedding dress:) I absolutely loved the individual rooms so that my friends and family and I were able to enjoy finding a dress without having the hustle and bustle of other shoppers around. I was so pleasantly surprised by the selection of larger sizes you had available for me to try on, it was a huge plus! I have already recommended Once Upon A Time to my friends, everyone deserves to have this wonderful of an experience. Thank You, Thank you, Thank you:)

The lady was way too pushy.. She barely let my party give me their opinions on dresses, she seemed to be the only one talking over people... If I ever gave the impression that I liked a dress, she was so quick to ask me "is this the dress". I felt extremelyyy rushed to make a decision. After saying "I'd like to have lunch to think about it", she responded with "well, we're going to be pretty busy later so..." Too busy to take a couple thousand from me? Ok, I don't need to think about it at all then... Way too pushy and really just upset my entire party that came with me.

Dress was fitted then ordered a size too big. Alterations are not included with the purchase, so therefore it cost me just about as much to alter as it did to buy. :( Be mindful of the sizing if you go here.

The venue is beautiful, with a lovely barn, stained glass windows and chandeliers. An absolutely awe struck set up from the alter, places to take pictures, the barn and the entire property! The family that owns the place are amazing people, they are also great photographers! This venue will make your once upon a time come true, like it did mine!

Erin and her team were wonderful to work with! She instantly made me feel comfortable and made all my dress dreams come true. OUTW is a very beautiful shop with unique dresses that you can t find anywhere else.
