Great service and very happy with my dress!

I purchased and tailored my wedding dress at Ultimate Bride, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Their service was top-notch; the staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and made me feel so special throughout the entire process. The selection of dresses was absolutely stunning, offering a diverse range of styles, fabrics, and designers to choose from.

Special shoutout to Kathia, my stylist, who went above and beyond in helping me find my dream dress. She was never pushy or judgmental and made me feel very comfortable expressing how I felt about each dress I tried, which was crucial in finding the right dress for me.

In addition, Maya, the alteration specialist, also deserves praise for her impeccable tailoring service. She was patient and understood what I wanted to achieve. She ensured that my dress fit like a glove, with precise attention to every detail, making the entire experience stress-free.

Plus, their timeliness was impressive; my dress was ready well ahead of schedule, giving me one less thing to worry about before the big day.

Lastly, the store environment was elegant and calming.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience in finding my dream wedding dress. Highly recommend!

The BEST experience to find my DREAM dress!

I had the BEST experience finding my wedding dress at Ultimate Bride. We got married on 10/15/22 at the Sculpture Garden at Bridgeport Art Center and I began my dress search in September 2021. Brandy was an absolute dream to work with in my first trial appointment and my second. She completely understood my vision and brought me a range of styles that both read my mind and introduced me to something unique. She really helped me find the most perfect Ines Di Santo magical gown that delivered on the chic, one of a kind vision I had in mind!! She made me feel confident and assured. She also gave me the best advice to not show my dress to anyone and let it be a surprise on the wedding day! Once I landed on my dream dress, Ultimate Bride was highly communicative with next steps. I do not live in Chicago, so they were very accommodating with helping me to schedule my fittings. I worked with Gianna for my fitting experience and she was INCREDIBLE. Gianna was highly knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable throughout the experience. She made sure the dress fit me light a glove and that I was confident and comfortable in it. Both Brandy and Gianna and the entire Ultimate Bride team helped me choose a dress that made me feel like the absolute best version of myself for my big day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Flawless process for a perfect wedding look!

I found my dream dress at Ultimate Bride, and I am so happy I did because the entire process from try on to alterations was stress free and enjoyable. They suggested ways to make my bridal look my own by making a semi-custom cape with lace that matched the lace of my dress. It was so fun to see the look come together and they were so attentive to every detail ensuring that everything was perfect at the end. It was very easy to contact them via text. I would highly recommend them to any bride!
