Wedding Atelier

It took me all of 45 minutes to find the dress of my dreams! I met with Anna...tried on 2 lace dresses (what I thought I wanted) before she asked me to try something she thought would be PERFECT for me. She was right...so very right! I wore a dress on my wedding day that made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. My dress was amazing...I wish I could wear it every day!

The best! Give them a range your willing to pay and they will bring out the best dresses for you within your price range. In addition, it was the first place that I visited and had been the best vendor compared to other boutiques in NY. Renay and the seamstress were friendly and professional. Worth the trip from Mia to NY just for my wedding dress.

Almost gave up but then I found the dress of my dreams here! Alteration turned out great! Didn't want to take my dress off at the end of the night.

I originally went to Kleinfeld's to find a dress, but I was so overwhelmed that I ended up buying a dress because the representative helping me said I should, not because I was in love with the dress. I ended up trying Wedding Atelier on a whim and I am so happy I did. The people are wonderful. Everyone was so patient and nice and I didn't feel rushed at all (like I did at Kleinfeld's). It is a smaller salon, but I didn't feel like there was a small selection of dresses. In fact, whereas at Kleinfeld's I didn't fit into any of the dresses I was given to try on (I'm a size 8), I fit into every dress at Wedding Atelier. Jessica was my representative and she was amazing. She knew exactly how the dress should be tailored to look best on me and the seamstress was equally as great. The dresses, veils and jewelry were all really well priced and everyone was very professional and organized. I am so happy I ended up at Wedding Atelier; I highly recommend!

Marny and the team at Wedding Atelier are the best! From start to finish they made me feel so happy and beautiful and made sure my dress was perfect! I can't thank them enough for helping me to look so fabulous.

I shopped around A LOT to find the perfect wedding dress and I finally found it at Wedding Atelier! Well, I thought I did on my first visit, put in my order for the dress and then woke up the next morning and realized that it was not my dream dress but everyone at the store was wonderful and very understanding when I called to cancel the order and come in to re-select my gown. My consultant Jenny was amazing but that she no longer works there(I heard she is now at Kleinfelds). Wedding Atelier was also wonderful to work with for my fittings. I live in Philadelphia so they let me schedule my fittings for weekends and late Friday afternoons. I bought all of my accessories; undergarments, veil, headpiece and earrings from Wedding Atelier. They make their accessories in the store so I was able to customize everything exactly the way I wanted it. They were a pleasure to work with!

Renee at Wedding Atelier was one of my favorite people that I worked with during the wedding planning process. When I went into the store for my initial consultation she really listened to what I wanted, asking lots of questions, and brought out dresses that matched what I was looking for. When I tried on a dress I would say "I like this but not this" and she would bring out the next dress based on my feedback on the previous dress. That first day there was one dress that I really liked, but I wasn't quite sold on one particular detail. I ended up having an email back and forth about it with Renee and when I came back a few weeks later based on our conversations she had picked out the PERFECT dress and had it waiting for me. The dress came in in plenty of time and the alterations were all on schedule - Mae did a great job. I also did an accessories consultation with Renee and the others there and got a gorgeous veil and some earrings from Wedding Atelier. I was so happy with the dress and very happy with my experience at Wedding Atelier. The only negative was that my bustle came apart during the reception and my coordinator had to do an emergency sewing job on me - but overall I would recommend Wedding Atelier in a heartbeat.

I worked with Jessica at Wedding Atelier. After visiting 2 other bridal salons in NYC I knew Wedding Atelier was for me. Even though their selection is smaller than some other places, the dress selection is beautiful. Being a smaller shop, the service is 5-star.

Everyone at Wedding Atelier is a delight! From the moment you try on a dress there they make you feel special and valued as a client. My dress was perfect and when I had a last minute bride freak out they took care of me with huge warm smiles. The location itself is beautiful and there selection of gowns is exquisite. You won't find anything of poor quality as I feel Carrie, the manager, has great taste and an appreciation for quality over quantity.

I went ALL OVER the city to try on dresses, and Wedding Atelier was one of my favorite places - while it's not the largest selection out there, it is clean, and they are nice friendly people. I could have gotten my gown (Alvina Valenta) elsewhere (they carry it at Kleinfields, as well) but I wanted to give my business to WA. Alterations were really really thorough and profressional.

I love this little shop. They have a great staff, who were super helpful, and even with the smaller size of the shop, they can get whatever you need. I purchased my veil and hair clip from them. I'm from PA, but no store around had the veil that I wanted, so I went to Wedding Atelier. I walked in, told her what I was looking for, and she walked over and had the sample in the store. It was an easy transaction. We had gone to Kleinfeld's to look too, but compared to Wedding Atelier, Kleinfeld's is a hectic and slightly uncaring place. They didn't care about my order being incorrect, at Wedding Atelier I also had a problem, but the apologized and order the right item and shipped it to me at no cost to me. It was well worth the trip.

Was very happy with their services and highly recommend. Katy was very patient and calming to work with. Her ideas to how to wear the gown plus her choice of gowns to try on were spot on. May the seamstress was also very help and willing to do any alternations to make sure the dress looked great. Everyone loved the dress

Renee at wedding atelier was superb. I told her what I wanted and she helped me create the perfect dress! And i was able to get a discount since I bought the floor model.

Clean, airy, quiet, and modern, The Wedding Atelier was a welcome change from some of the other mega-salons I visited in the course of shopping for a wedding dress. My sales associate Marnie was helpful, warm, and pulled the perfect dress for me almost instantly, despite my initial reluctance to try something that differed from what I thought I wanted. Alterations were a breeze--the shop's seamstress could not be any more sweet--and my communication with the store was professional and courteous.

I ended up buying my dress at the Wedding Atelier in Manhattan after finding the actual dress I decided to purchase at the Designer Loft boutique. I went with the Wedding Atelier for 2 main reasons: 1. they charged me less for the same exact dress and more for the alterations: Great! When it comes to a strapless, huge-train heavy satin wedding dress, i want a seamstress who knows what she's doing. The person who referred me to the Designer Loft gave me the caveat that her bustle fell apart midway through the reception and she had to cut her train off with scissors (!) The seamstress - May - at Wedding Atelier knew exactly what she was doing, and gave my train a french bustle in the back that went nowhere, with all the number coded strings to hold it up. 2. As my maid of honor reminded me: you don't want to be more anal about your wedding dress than your wedding dress store. The Wedding Atelier is pristine, clean, and they make EVERYONE take off their shoes before entering the main floor. That way when you walk around in your dress for fittings, there's not junk and dust all over the bottom of it. My only note on this is that I had a disappointing second fitting that almost made things not work out. I had to call back and say that I wasn't happy with the way the dress was fitting me (the back was all loose and there was no waist shape whatsoever). Renee, my saleswoman, got on the case immediately, scheduled me a do-over fitting with no charge, and I walked out of that fitting very very happy. So if you don't get the sense that May the seamstress understands what you want, it may be a language barrier. Just keep pushing till you get through to the saleswoman and once she knows what she's doing, her work is stunning.

I loooooooooooooooove this place!!!! They were excellent in everything from start to finish. If you need a wedding gown and you live in the tri-state area, go to them. Their selection is unlike any other and I went EVERYWHERE- Kleinfeld's, Pronovias, Priscilla of Boston, Bridal Suite of Centerreach, etc..so many places, I lost count. My gown was so unique and elegant and fit my personality sooooo much. I loved my choice and everyone I dealt with is sooo pleasant. Grace and Carrie (the owner) are the best!!!! The gown was a bit pricey BUT it is a designer gown and well worth every penny and every thousand. Sometimes if you call them, it is hard to get a live person because the answering service always picks up BUT this was one place I will recommend for eternity!! They are the best!

They didn't seem to finish the alterations. The dress was too big on top. But they worked with me on the price and my sales woman was very very nice.

Wedding Atelier gave me a great deal on a designer gown. And their seamstress did a great job with alterations. However, they need to work on their professionalism. I once arrived for a fitting and nobody was at the store at the time of my appointment. I had to wait outside for about 15 minutes and then did not even receive an apology from the store owner. My original salesperson quit while my dress was being ordered, and I got assigned to another lady. She was also late to one of my fittings and did not apologize about her lateness. They also changed the price of alterations while my dress was being ordered. I had to throw a fit in order for them to give me the quoted price of alterations which was promised to me at the time I ordered the dress. So, I appreciated the discount on the dress, and cannot complain about the quality of the alterations, steaming, bagging, etc. which was all impeccable. The space of the store is beautiful and I was happy to go each time, but they should work on their professionalism.

They were wonderful. The sales girls remembered me when I came back for my fittings and were very helpful.

Everyone there was really nice. I liked the fact they make you take off your shoes- it keeps their sample dresses clean. I tried on a dress there that i really liked and the sample fit me almost perfectly and they allowed me to purchase the sample at 50% off retail price. They stored the dress for me there untill it was time for alterations. I had a few changes made to the dress (cap sleeves and a bow removed) along with the usual alterations and their seamstress did a wonderful job. However, if I had to do it again I would have just taken the dress home the day I purchased it and found someone to alter it here. Considering I live in Philly it got to be a pain having to return to NYC 3 times for alterations, not to metion the money spent taking the train. I didn't like the fact that they didn't allow you to take pictures of yourself in the dress(until you purchased it)- it made it much more difficult to decide and I probably wouldn't have purchased that dress from them if it wasn't for being able to get the sample at half price. Overall tho I had a wonderful experience. They were very personable (not snooty like some of the shops you come across) and accomodating.
