Max Bridal

Fantastic store with excellent customer service unlike some other bridal stores I visited (RK bridal). We had our own suite with a curtained off area for changing and a couch for the guests, which was so much more private than having to walk outside of the room to the middle of the store to look at your dress. The selection was not huge but I found the highest selection of dresses I actually liked. The consultant was attentive, fun, and pulled out the stunner gown, which I ended up buying, after I showed her a picture of a dress that I liked the most at other bridal stores. I have been to 3 other stores and had the best experience at Max Bridal.
You also get 10% off if you order a dress on your first visit.

Review is long overdue, but I visited Max Bridal around Sept 2015. I was given a 10 AM appointment. Unfortunately, the store assistant was running a bit late, but was very helpful. They let me try on as many dresses as I wanted in an hour. They were very helpful in trying to determine my taste and the style I was going for. So they get 2 stars just for their friendly demeanor. Unfortunately, another bride came early for her appointment and was there with her entire family for approximately 30 minutes of my hour appointment. Not only was I uncomfortable but I didn’t like that the store assistants and receptionists just let them stay there and watch me try on dresses with my mom and MOH. I felt like if you have a boutique with a main dressing room/​stage, it’s very uncomfortable to have strangers look at everything you’re trying on. Their selections were nice, but didn’t fall in love with anything.

I haven’t even decided what wedding dress I want to buy but I had to sign on to talk about the service here. Celia was amazing. She made the process so special and was so attentive and willing to accommodate my needs. She went out of her way to find me the perfect dress. She made me feel so special, not like just another bride. Even the seamstress came and met with me. I would recommend Celia and Max Bridal to anyone looking for a wedding dress!

I said yes to the dress here. They gave me an undivided attention and I was able to try on multiple dresses. There was a cancelation appointment before me so they were able to accommodate me at an earlier time. I would recommend this place over and over again.

Nice boutique, the atmosphere was friendly and they had a great selection of bridal gowns. Amy was very attentive, made me feel fantastic and had exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend brides check them out. Johanna

I had the greatest experience this weekend shopping for my dream wedding gown at Max Bridal. Celia was so amazing and sweet, and knew exactly what I wanted in a gown! I briefly told her the qualities I like, and within minutes she had 7 gowns pulled for me. And of course, the first gown she had me try on, ended up being the ONE! I really appreciate Celia and Amy’s patience while I made my decision, my mom and I truly enjoyed our time at the store. I look forward to seeing my gown when it arrive in July! If you are searching for bridal boutiques to visit, please put this one at the TOP of your list!

I visited the boutique last night, and couldn’t have been any happier with the customer service, selections, or attention to detail.
We were fortunate to have worked with Celia, who is professional, energetic, compassionate, witty, and makes the trip worthwhile. From the moment we walked in she was all smiles. She made us feel welcomed, at home, and referred to me by name, as opposed to using pronouns all night.
She took the time to really listen to my requests, body image issues, what I wanted to accentuate, what I did not, what I liked, didn’t, and why. She also listened to my mom’s comments, and although I was stripped down to a thong and nothing more, I didn’t feel uncomfortable alone in the dressing room with her. She’s hysterical, very down to earth, and honest; which I appreciated, and her feedback never made me feel bad or offended (which has happened in other stores). It is obvious she loves her job and it is even more apparent she «knows her brides,» and has a nack for pulling the right dress for your body. She does appreciate a bride who is open to different styles and options; there’s a method to her madness.
Yes the boutique has 1 dressing room, but it’s for your benefit; they’re giving you all their attention.
The Allure dresses are gorgeous. They’re sample gowns and are tried on hundreds of times by the time you see it so, as in most shops, they will have some imperfections, but they are not at all to the degree which the other reviews mention. I actually had no issues with the dresses, maybe 1 or 2 beadings were loose, otherwise, fine. The boutique is clean and organized. Music is playing, lights are bright.
This was our 2^nd day shopping, the 3^rd store we visited, and they surely raised the bar. There’s a chance we may have found the dress, but as in all good (maybe crazy) bridal fashion, we will continue to search, but the dress we had on last night is definitely #1 thus far.
Xo!

Came here on a Saturday with a bunch of my bridesmaids. They have literally 15 samples of bridesmaids dresses and bascially no mother of the bride. The wedding dresses are on two long racks of either side of the store. The condition of the dresses are horrible. I had tried on a beautiful Allure dress that I was considering earlier in the day and saw it again here. After trying it on here, I actually liked it less because it looked in such bad condition. They only have one dressing room as well. The women were nice, but the selection was poor. The photos are painting the store in a better light than it actually was.

Max Bridal was amazing. They have a wide selection of dresses and the staff is wonderful. I worked with Amy and she was so patient and helpful. This was the second place I visited to try on dresses and I was still trying to figure out what style I wanted. Amy let me try on various styles and let me know which best suited my figure, my venue, and my personality. There was no pressure at all to buy, which made the experience comfortable and easy. I did end up buying my dress there and could not be happier. Thank you, Amy!!!

What a lovely shop. My daughter had a totally stress free experience. I have to say that the woman who helped her, Celia, was awesome. She listened to my daughters preferences and was so helpful and sweet. The gowns were priced right with a nice variety of styles.

Although Max Bridal had a decent selection of wedding gowns and a lovely store, I was unimpressed by the service. The girl that assisted me in the dressing room made several rude/​abrasive comments that left a very bad taste in my mouth, which was unfortunate because the other two ladies that helped me were delightful. For me, the overall experience of trying on wedding dresses was very important, but Max Bridal seemed to miss the mark.

Last weekend I had the exciting experience of wedding gown shopping with my future daughter-​in-​law and her mom. After visiting many bridal shops, her dream gown was purchased at Max Bridal. The shop has a wonderful selection of gowns and the consultants are lovely.
Celia, our sales consultant was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She showed my future daughter-​in-​law beautiful gowns in her price range. We really appreciated her expertise and patience. It was truly a pleasure working with Celia.
If you’re bridal gown shopping, I recommend visiting Max Bridal.

I felt like I had to fight the stylist… I was pretty adamant that I was looking for a dress with sleeves in an A-​line silhouette, but I felt very pushed towards dresses that I did not feel comfortable in, and that I was told could, or should not be altered to be more like what I wanted. The dress they chose were extremely beautiful, within my price, and did incorporate some elements that I liked, but overall, I felt that my personal taste was over-​ruled. Long story short: If you like strapless, mermaid/​fit and flare dresses, go here! If you’re looking for something else, be warned that you might find yourself in a dress wondering how the heck you got there.

Professional staff, amazing selection and great prices! First day out looking for my daughters gown and they nailed it on the third dress! Highly recommend! Celia was fantastic! Happy daughter means a very happy mom!

Celia helped me to find my dream dress! She listened to my wants and needs, but also helped me to step out of my comfort zone and try on other kinds of dresses she thought I would like. It worked like a charm and I fell in love with a gorgeous gown! The other women who work there are lovely, as well. They did not pressure me, but instead helped me feel confident in my decision. I am so happy I came here and highly recommend you go, as well! You won’t regret it!

Stephanie is awesome. Wonderful customer service and she «got» me and my style within a few minutes of walking through the store. The appointment began promptly on time and the staff is hospitable. There was a huge selection and a range of prices that can accomodate several budgets. I haven’t decided on a gown yet, but I’m leaning with going with something out of Max Bridal just because I have a feeling that I won’t get flustered or stressed dealing with them.

Make this your first and last bridal salon! Max Bridal is a hidden gem, and I cannot rave enough about my experiences there. Although they didn’t have the exact dress I *thought* I wanted, Courtney (amazingly patient and knowledgeable and nice and honest) and Amy (one of their managers — all of the above adjectives too!) found some similar styles for me to try on.
Since I was open to trying all different styles, they started pulling some fit and flare dresses that I never thought I could wear, and I found my gown! I had another appointment later that day at another bridal salon, and I never felt pressured by anyone at Max Bridal to purchase the dress that I knew was the one! It’s not even worth mentioning how disappointing my other bridal salon experience was.
Love how Max Bridal only takes one appointment at at time. They let you take pictures, which is super important! I thought I loved one dress when I had it on, but when I looked at the pictures, I really didn’t like it at all! They also have a comfy couch for seating for you family and friends (which the other bridal salon did not). It is a smaller salon, but they have so many gowns, so don’t let that deter you from making an appointment here!
I also had my bridesmaids purchase their dresses here, and Jillian was so patient with my indecisiveness about picking out 4 different colors for the same dress for my girls. I honestly think I spent more time picking out the colors for my bridesmaids than picking out my own gown!
My dress fitting appointments with Ines were great as well. She was always on time and did a great job! Ines is nice and honest… I trusted her when she said my gown should be a touch tighter just below my butt (I didn’t want it), but she was right, and I looked AMAZING on my wedding day!
I never had trouble with parking, but just some tips: leave extra time to park on street. Otherwise, there is street parking on Banbury Road, which is a block north of the store. Also, there is a metered lot on the corner of Banbury and Mineola Blvd.
So, what are you waiting for? Make that appointment with Courtney and you won’t be disappointed!

I had a very clear vision of what I wanted for my wedding gown, and though I didn’t find the perfect dress for me at Max Bridal, I found a very warm staff and many dresses that fit my style. I made a last minute (day-​of) appointment after hating everything I was seeing from four other bridal shops, and was surprised by how nice Courtney and Jillian were. Jillian didn’t even mind that my sister had to bring my 8-​month-​old niece to the shop since it was such a last minute appointment. She listened to me when I told her all of my criteria and actually picked out dresses that I really liked. She gave honest opinions, but wasn’t pushy at all, and genuinely wanted to make me happy, comfortable and look my best.
I would highly recommend this shop to any bride. If I weren’t so picky about having an unconventional gown, I’m sure I would have found a dress at Max. Oh, and the dresses are affordable for Long Island bridal shops.

This place is a gem; truly amazing. The warmth and friendly service you receive here is what every bride should experience. I spent so much time negotiating with vendors that I was almost tense walking into Max Bridal; I quickly changed. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is wonderful. I worked with Jillian and she exceeded my expectations. Beyond grateful I found Max Bridal!

I loved this boutique so much! It’s a small boutique but they only do one appointment at a time which was perfect! It is so nice having the place to yourself! The staff was so sweet and very accommodating, before I went I asked how many girls I can bring and they simply said «as many as you’d like!» I ended up bringing 8 and they all had places to sit and the staff didn’t care at all!
The selection of gowns was great and they even had their own line which were priced very well (400 – 1,000 $). We tried on a bunch of beautiful and very well priced gowns and I never felt rushed. They made it a very fun, relaxing experience, exactly what it should be!
I totally recommend this boutique to all brides!
