AMA is AMA-zing!!

From the moment we stepped into Genesis Bridal for our upcoming wedding, we knew we found our forever seamstress! Ama made you immediately feel comfortable, and by the time we left our first appointments we felt like we had made a true friend. She takes her profession very seriously, and makes you feel like you're her most important project while you're there. She takes her time to explain everything to you, make suggestions, and is very detailed and thorough in all of her work. We wound up sending our entire bridal party to her because we had many different issues with the fit of the dresses we purchased online. She not only worked her magic with the brides, but she made the entire wedding look top notch. Her creative mind/work allowed for adjustments that saved many of the girls a lot of money and headache with having to order a new size.
We honestly couldn't recommend this place enough! Ama was transitioning to a new store front during our process and literally welcomed us into her home to finish our order and make sure everything was perfect. Do not look elsewhere, she is AMA-zing! :)

Amazing Experience for a bride to be

If you’re looking for top notch customer service and a phenomenal wedding dress experience this is the place! The owner Ama was a miracle worker! My mom passed down her wedding dress to me, that was over 40 years old. Ama was able to restore, make some modern changes, and create a beautiful dress that fit me perfectly! I didn’t realize how long something like this would take, so when I expressed the short deadline I had, Ama surprised me with her sense of urgency and worked overtime to make sure my experience and final product was everything I had hoped for. It actually turned out way better than I even thought! She was so sweet, personable, and extremely talented at what she does. The venue was intimate and you can tell she loves what she does. I couldn’t have asked for better results and I would recommend this place to any bride looking for a stress free experience and the wedding dress of their dreams. She captured mine and my moms vision, while offering her own suggestions that made all the difference. Absolutely loved it!

I called this store after having a bad experience with another place. I was very discouraged after my appointment with the other bridal store. Just after talking to Ms. Ama on the phone I knew I had found the right place. I went to the appointment and she was nice and very friendly. She was very straight forward and honest about what the dress needed. I was happy with the quote I was given and excited to work with her.

She is a hidden gem :-)
