The Bridal Suite

Had an appointment for today at 3pm. Get there and there’s no one there. Lights on but doors locked. No phone call received no sign on the door. Waited an hour anyway for nothing. If this is the way they conduct business I want absolutely nothing to do with this shop! Waste of time and gas smh

this place is horrrible! A brides dress is supposed to be special. If you want to have a beautiful dress and great experience during your dress fittings and everything in between I DONOT RECOMMEND this place to any ANY bride. I do not want anyone to go through the pain I went through at this place.

Upon moving to Stamford, I had tried on and checked out multiple dresses all over MA. Bridal Suite was one of the first boutique I stopped at in Stamford. I came on my own first to make an appointment as my parents and moh were coming up and I also wanted my MOH to try on some bridesmaid dresses. When I spoke with Miriam (the owner) she advised they do appointment only for the bride and she makes sure only one or two brides are in at the same time so she can focus all her attention to us. She did however advise to try on bridesmaid dresses, there will be a fee (which I thought was odd).
I made a Saturday appointment and luckily, I was the only bride. I had an idea of what style I liked and Miriam pulled few different dresses for me (in that style) — I tried on multiple dresses and fell in love with 2 different styles. My MOH was able to try on numerous bridesmaid dress and I came to a final decision to go with Bill Levkoff. Since I couldn’t decide on my dress, I told her I wanted to come back and try it on again. When I went to pay for my MOH trying on her dress, she did say that was not necessary as we were ordering the dress from there.
I went back multiple times to try on the different dresses as well as my bridesmaids were in and out with me trying on the bridesmaid dress and never once did Miriam ever complain or seem annoyed.
Once I finally made my decision on my gorgeous gown, we paid half at the time and the rest was paid when the dress came in. She did say it would take about 6 months for the dress to come in but it actually took only 4 months or so. The bridesmaid dress came in soon as well and they all ended up getting a 10% discount.
My fitting was also done at the shop with their on site seamstress and she was an absolute doll!!! I absolutely LOVED her! So sweet and she kept calling me «madam» which I thought was so cute. Thankfully, I didn’t have many alterations to do (just the bussel, hemming a bit and press — not gonna lie, didn’t realize how expensive it is to get your dress hemmed!) But she did an outstanding job and my dress fit me like a glove!
I have recommended few friends to this place and actually one of my friends ended up buying her dress here as well!

Worst service ever! I made an appointment on a Saturday afternoon as they suggested to try on a bridesmaid dress. When I arrive I am completely ignored. Then they act surprised when I tell them I’m here for my apt and that I would like to try on a bridesmaid dress. They then put me in a room with a dress that is 4 sizes too big and again complete ignore me when I come out with it sagging off my body! I go and get another dress to put on, still being ignored and unhelped. I try it on again, too big. I give up, and put my clothes back on and walk out the door while they stand by and say nothing. Appalling service! I would not recommend doing business here.

If I could give them a zero stars I would!!! I called to make an appointment to try braid-​maid dresses and I was informed that they have a new policy where they charge $ 10 per braid-​maid just to try any of their dresses because they found that many girls come to try they dresses and never come back!!! this is the most ridicules policy I have ever heard of what store charges you to try any type of clothing? they implemented this policy because they are overpriced and today everyone compares the prices and why would you want to overpay if you could get the same dresses in another store for cheaper– make no sense. I definitely will not be going there and also WILL NOT recommend this rip– off store to anyone!!!

The salon is so feminine and inviting. We had such a great experience and Marilyn is so warm and friendly. I felt very comfortable and there was no pressure. There is a large selection of gowns at a great price point, totally within our budget. My goal was to obtain quality at price I could afford and that is exactly what I found. Most of all, Marilyn was so great to work with and that meant so much to me.

After having a weird and disappointing experience elsewhere in Stamford, we walked into Bridal Suite with no appointment. Marilyn accommodated us even though she had another girl coming in. This lady can multi-​task. 2 or 3 girls were trying on dresses, another came in for measurements and Marilyn kept it going.
When it’s just you and her in the store she gives her honest, polite and thoughtful opinions. When I was unsure if I liked A line or fit and flair better, she said I had a «cute figure» and that the fit and flair would be a better fit.
Patient, helpful and works well with mothers (a must in my opinion). What more do you need? Currently it’s 4 stars, but I’ll make it a 5 if my future experiences go as well. I’ll be back to try on more dresses or create my own (Casablanca is really good about this).

Beautiful salon, beautiful dresses. I wish I could have found «the dress» here but alas, it eluded me here.
The woman who I believe owns the store and helped us, unfortunately reeked of cigarette smoke but was great nonetheless. No pretense, it was business all the way with a dash of whimsy. I really appreciated how she did not push a certain style or designer on us but really let us pick pick pick through the dresses ourselves. This isn’t a place where they help you into the gowns, but they will help cinch you up and go over the pro’s and con’s for each dress with you when you walk out onto the podium/​stage.
My mom told the lady her frustration at an earlier store that had only shown us corseted dresses. The woman replied, «Oh no, your daughter has no need for a corset with that little waist! She has the kind of figure men dream about!» Ha! While that may or may not be the case, such flattery is always nice when shopping for the most important dress of your life! She wasn’t just saying it to make a deal, though, which is what I appreciated. Blunt honesty and great dresses.
While I didn’t find a dress here, the owner said she could call one designer (Marissa) and see if they would make specific changes to one of the dresses I was considering to make it more «me». I guess because she does a lot of business with that company, sometimes those customizations are possible through stores.
A small selection of accessories are also available.
