Alfred Angelo Bridal

When we arrived we were greeted. Chelsea was our consultant. We were their for my maid of honor and bridesmaid. We were able to find my maid of honors dress. A form fitting limited addition Disney dress. Looks so pretty. Unfortunately disappointed nothing fit my bridesmaid. Chelsea was so helpful and patient. I can’t wait to see her dress in the color we ordered!

5 Stars for the Consultants.
2 stars for the dresses.
If you’re going to this place Please book your appointment with Olivia. She is the sweetest lady ever and tries to give you exactly what you want. I personally didn’t like the dresses at the store because they’re all about the same, cookie cutter, manufactured gowns. There’s no diversity. The only reason I’m giving 5 stars is because of Olivia. I personally think she should work somewhere higher end to make more of commission because Alfred Angelo is holding her back. Anywho shout out to Olivia.

I got my dress at the Huntington Beach location and went here with my future mother in law to looks at veils. This store is a lot cleaner and overall nicer looking than HB. We were helped by Tearra and she was awesome. Very personable and great personality. She was very attentive and listened to what we wanted.

Nothing but good things to say! I had a horrible experience at David’s Bridal a week prior and made an appointment at Alfred Angelo and went in not expecting much. I ended up saying yes to the dress! I was helped by Kelsey and she was amazing! She listened to everything I wanted, very personable, and super sweet! I would recommended this bridal store for any bridal needs!

Sarah helped my sister the «bride to be» and us brides maid choosing dresses. Although she didn’t end up finding her wedding dress at Alfred’s. We did find our brides maid dress! Sarah was so helpful and patient. My sister lives in San Diego and was calling the Clairmont location to place the our whole dress order, but because the lady on the phone and in person was so rude she decided to drive here to Oceanside and who helped her… SARAH… it was so easy to process the order and didn’t feel awkward that she went somewhere else for her wedding dress. Just F.Y.I they do not serve champagne here. You have to bring your own «water bottle.»

They deserve every bit of this 5 star. We walked in 20minutes before closing on a Sunday. I had just came from David’s bridal, totally bummed. I went there with high hopes and came out feeling insecure about my figure and low budget.
Sarah and the young women she was training totally changed that!
Going into this store was one of the best choices. I was not at any moment pressured with sales and no one made me feel like I HAD to spend more to look better. I was in no way being cheap, just had a budget to work with due to a last minute wedding.
Sarah was just amazing. She made me feel beautiful with her humble attitude. She asked all the right questions. She just was awesome. She truly gave me the ultimate experience! I don’t have ANYTHING bad to say. She told me she would try her hardest to have me walk out with the dress I wanted and she did. I truly want to thank the staff at this location for making my wedding dream come true.
I will be going in for alteration this week and definitely include an updated review with pictures of this amazing dress.

8 months later. Still nothing. I’m over it. Just want people to know before they choose this service.

My name is Bree and I had such a wonderful experience looking for my wedding dress today, so much so that I hacked into my fiancé’s Unilocal account just to leave the only review I’ve ever given.
We stepped into this Alfred Angelo’s without an appointment and me without a clue as to what I wanted in a dress.
Kelsey was amazingly welcoming from the beginning. She put my worried mind at ease, and was very patient and kind throughout my time there. She was also funny which also helped. She listened to my worries and what I thought I would like and brought out multiple styles for me to try. She allowed me to try on as many as I needed to without ever rushing me. We found what I think is the perfect dress and I’m so happy I had her as my wedding dress coordinator.
I would suggest making an appointment with Kelsey who was also very welcoming to my family.

I love Alfred Angelo! I bought my wedding dress here, and my brides maids bought all of their dresses here. I even referred my good friend and she recently purchased her wedding dress from here. I highly recommend that you schedule an appointment with Kelsey. She helped me find my dream dress! She’s so nice and helpful!

These girls get 5 stars, no question!
I went to Alfred Angelo only once before finding my dress. My wedding was 10÷24÷15, and my first appointment was for me and then 2 of my bridesmaids (the other three live out of state). *KELSEY* was absolutely amazing. She was very attentive and listened to everything I wanted. She was bubbly and excited, which added to my own excitement. She also gave me several options.
When I decided on one, she gave me a few veils and a headpiece to try on, along with a fake bouquet to make it as real as possible. Let me tell u, she had me and my girls in tears (the good kind).
All of the girls were really patient with me — from my first appointment until my wedding date. I went with their in-​house seamstress, who I must also say did such an amazing job with my dress. She suggested alterations I didn’t even know I needed at first. The seamstress leaves at 7pm, and it was a bit difficult for me to get there by the 6:30 appointment times I was setting. I was late almost every time, but they never made an issue of it or made me feel like a jerk for it. With everything else «wedding» going on in my life, feeling at ease here just made such a difference.
I had a few interactions with every girl there, in one way or another, and all were so incredibly sweet. One of the managers really stood out to me as well, I think her name is *SARAH*? She is passionate with her work, and it definitely shows.
Thank you to all of the staff at Alfred Angelo Oceanside. Everything to do with the dress was truly amazing, due to you girls.

Got my dress for the Marine Corps Ball this year here and was pleasantly surprised! Kelsey was amazing and totally picked out a dress I never would’ve picked out for myself. It was exactly what I was looking for: Classic, old Hollywood, glamour.
Hortencia made the necessary alterations for me and the fit was amazing. She did an absolutely wonderful job.
I spent around $ 200 and I’m happy with how it all turned out. Can’t wait to get all dolled up and will definitely consider shopping here in the future.

Such an amazing and memorable experience @ Alfred Angelo. Not only did Sarah find my dream wedding dress, she and some other consultants helped each of my 4 bridesmaids find their dresses and the mother of the groom find her dress! I showed Sarah a picture online to give her an idea of what I was thinking and she is so amazing at her job that the first dress she picked and had me try on was exactly what I pictured myself getting married in, and under budget! We then experimented with a variety of different accessories to get my whole look perfect. Beyond content with our experience at Alfred Angelo with Sarah. We all can’t stop raving about our successful experience.

I GIVE SARAH 5 STARS!!!
She was awesome
But the store 4.
Sarah didn’t have access to my Favorite Dresses online, I had to pull the style numbers off my phone so she could pull the dresses.
Also they need more Chairs, we ended up random chairs and two folding chairs. =(

I absolutely loved my experience at Alfred Angelo! The gowns are gorgeous and the staff is super friendly and attentive! RANDI helped me out on my first visit and I went back today to finally place my order and Sarah and cassandra helped me out and all were very, very helpful! They take walkins but I recommend making an appointment before going.
Thank you Alfred angelo! Can’t wait to wear my dress again!

My experience back on 7÷3÷15 was great at this location. I’m already married, but we are planning our vow renewal formal ceremony for May 2016. I came in with my MOH & 1 outta my (3) other bridesmaids to try on gowns. My wedding party felt very comfortable and had a pleasant time thanks to Julia. I already had styles in mind, she helped solidify which were the best fit for my ladies.
I also came in recently 9÷5÷15 to find a ball gown for the Marine Corps Ball. I had previously bought a gown for the ball at the Beverly Hills location in Fall 2014 so I knew I could definitely find out here again. Cassandra the manager was such a doll at helping myself and another Marine Wife out. We both walked out that day with dresses.
Highly recommend this location due to their professionalism, cleanliness, knowledge of their product and overall extremely pleasant experience.

Heather was my rep and she was phenomenal. Went in twice for my wedding dress, and she was helpful 100% of the way.
When we went in for the bridesmaid dresses again Heather helped us and made us feel very comfortable. She listened to everything we had to say regarding styles and colors and made sure we left happy.
Side note, we had no idea, but you can bring wine in with you!

Chloe welcomed me into the store and we got right to chatting away. I felt like Chloe invested her time and expertise into our wedding dress session, she made me feel so comfortable! Getting to know Chloe and her process of only having three dresses in the dressing room with me, made me so happy and less overwhelmed! Chloe immediately answered our questions and reassured me (a plus size bride) that I would be able to try on many dresses. She even spoke to my niece who is 8 and wanted to help, she was following Chloe around and helping choose the dresses for me to try. My sister loved that Chloe was equally attentive to all of us, 8 years old and up!
Chloe helped me into each dress and made sure I was comfy and then rated each dress. She even let me use my coupon on a sale! Chloe is by far the best! There were a three ladies in the front who kept talking to each other and looking at me but never said anything, which made me a little awkward, but I tried to focus on Chloe. In the end I chose a beautiful wedding dress and I can’t wait to walk down in the aisle in it! It is a 10, as is Chloe. Please request her if you visit the store, you won’t be disappointed. Her manager should be very proud of her style and attention that she gives her brides. Thank you Chloe for making my day extra special!

I admit that my experience here is lacking because I bought a dress elsewhere and came in just to window shop to ensure that the one I had was IT. It is. Alfred Angelo has a great selection and I loved that Lily wouldn’t let me try anything on for fear that it would detract from my opinion of my dream dress. She outfitted me instead with a veil, sash and head piece for the dress. While it wasn’t an ideal bridal experience it was good and I walked away satisfied with the help I received and the items I have for my special day.
The store itself could use a good face lift, better lighting, more flattering mirrors and new carpet, better chairs for the «ladies in waiting».

Thank you! And my apologies for my delayed response. I blame excessive travel.
They did indeed call me and apologized which absolutely means the world to me. Like I said before, still incredibly thoughtful process when you are looking for a dress. I went to another big name in San Diego for bridesmaid’s dresses and I was not impressed. Alfred Angelo makes the selection process stress free.
I’m looking forward to wearing my dress in a few months!

My sister-​in-​law and her man are due to wed in July 2015 and being that I am their lawful sister as well as mother of their adorable ring-​bearer, I was invited to be a bridesmaid!
I first came here to attend a Bridal Expo with bride, mom-​in-​law, and party and it was actually a lot of fun to my then 6 month pregnant dismay. The shop is by no means giant or warehousey, certainly does not have dresses and accessories for miles, but it houses enough to give you a decent idea of colors and designs. The staff is friendly, but they certainly seem to prioritize their customers. (That’s cool, I’m a looker that doesn’t need much, if any, checking-​in on.)They made for great hostesses though, for both potential customers and venders during their Expo.
My most recent visit here was to finally order my dress. My sis by law picked out the specific style and color, so no room for choosing anything of my liking or fit preference, bummer! The shop had called me about two days prior to let me know I could order/​pay over the phone, but I’m old school in that I like purchasing «big» things in person (in this case my $ 200 dress). I was allowed to make a deposit and pay the dress off over the next 2 months and I went with that option.
When asked to take my measurements, I apprehensively told the nice girl helping me that that would not be a good idea, seeing as I am 8 months pregnant. Still needing some sort of number to put on paper, she took my bust size and based on that alone, according to her chart, I needed to order a size 14 dress.
I typically wear size 5 or 7 when not with child, meaning that YUP my bust must currently be enormous :(The same girl offered the advice: «well, the bust usually gets smaller after you have the baby», which in my personal experience with post-​pregnancy is quite the opposite for the breastfeeding mom; I’m talking tiny waste, wide hips, and giant boobies (at least in my case).
I’m for sure going to need alterations up the wazoo and they let you know the shop does them but of course at an extra cost. I wish I had piped up and said «maybe a 10 would be better» but I may have been holding back tears from the shock of being told I needed such a large dress (large for me at least).
A dress fitting was taking place when I went this last time, the attendees looked to be having such a great time, yet another reason not to get hormonal/​emotional at their front desk. Yikes!
Overall, a quaint shop that devotes amazing attention to the bride and her bridesmaids and decent effort to all others.
