Christine from Carrie Karibo went above and beyond to ensure that I had the best day. She made me feel like an absolute princess. She spent so much time trying to find the right dress with me and was EXTREMELY patient with me. The dress she suggested was the one I ended up with. When I went back the second time she wasn't working but she made sure Sherry knew the dress and all the details. I also worked with Sherry and a few other of the ladies, who were amazing. Everyone was so friendly from the minute I scheduled through purchasing. I will be bringing my mom and MIL back to find their dresses. 10000/10 recommend. -

The ladies at Carrie Karibou took such amazing care of me when I was shopping for my wedding dress. They listened to what I was looking for and found the perfect match. In addition, their selection can't be beat. After shopping at 4 other shops, I found my dream dress here. -

Carrie is the absolute best!!! She is so patient and attentive with her customers. She made sure I had exactly what I wanted in a wedding dress. I never felt rushed or pressured to buy a dress like I did at other bridal shoppes. Everything came in on time and all my needs were met throughout the entire process!!! :)))) -

Most beautiful dresses!
I had multiple appointments set up in the area and this was our second stop, we ended up canceling the others! I knew I wanted to go to Carrie Karibo because of some of the designers they have. Their dresses are so beautiful! The staff is so kind, they were patient and helpful. They didn’t rush us at all, we had the best time and they did a champagne toast when we said yes to the dress! The only issue I had was that I didn’t get their email when my dress came in, only until I called to follow up did I know it was ready for pick up. I wish they would just call when the dress is in rather than relying on the email system. Other than that, not a single issue, my dress was perfect and I would definitely give them my business again if I had to do it all over! Ended up getting accessories here as well! Highly recommend going here to find your dream dress! They also gave me a recommendation for alterations and she was fantastic! -

Lydia W. Sent on 01/01/2020Beautiful dress, amazing service, highly recommend!
Stepping into this beautiful boutique, I was questioning if my "dream dress" would fall out of my price-range. The workers there were not pushy in trying to sell me something out of my price range. The actually worked with me in only looking at dresses in my price range. My dress (the 3rd one I tried on) was absolutely beautiful and everything I could have dreamed of (and more!) They recommended a seamstress, Jenny for me and she altered my dress beautifully. Working with everyone from Carrie Karibo was such an amazing experience. I highly recommend checking them out!! -

I booked a few appointments and stopped after shopping at Carrie Karibo Boutique. I worked with Sherry and she was so kind!! When we found the dress everyone was crying. They have beautiful dresses! I got an Evelyn dress that was actually a trunk show dress. A trunk show is a special event in which a bridal salon features a particular designer's collection. The bride has a unique opportunity to view and try on wedding dresses straight off the runway before they are available in stores. Evelyn gowns were being featured! It was so incredibly beautiful. 100% recommend making an appointment here. -

Joan Sent on 04/01/2018Carrie Karibo Bridal Boutique is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL and I would recommend them to any bride needing help with DECISIONS AND HONESTY.
They are not there to sell dresses for the sake of selling but instead are there to honestly help you find the perfect dress for your body and shape and for the vision that you have and the image you want to project. We visited Carrie Karibo 3 times and tried dresses. They never lost patience with us as we were struggling to make the right decision.
We visited four boutiques during our hunt for the perfect dress. By far, Carrie and her staff were the nicest, most honest, caring and sincere professionals.
I'm not sure I can explain the gratitude we have for Carrie and her staff in simple words. They are the most patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable . We had an idea of what we wanted from a shopping online and through magazines and Carries' staff was able to make our vision happen. They saved us money by suggesting we cut things that weren't necessary. Megan was so thoughtful, thorough and one of the absolute nicest people we've ever met. I’m so thankful we purchased the most incredible dress from Carrie Karibo's boutique.
Another very important factor for us is that they have a tailor/alterations person that they work with and is awesome with her craft. They do not give you a list of alteration businesses and close the door behind you. Carrie cares that you have an excellent alterations person who is tried and true to her craft. They care that your dress fits perfectly after alterations have been made.
If you are like we were it's a MUST that you visit Carrie Karibo in the Reading Bridal District. She will not disappoint and you will most assuredly find the dress for your vision.

Maggie Sent on 07/18/2016Wow! I don't even know where to start. First, I am from NYC so my only interaction with Carrie Karibo has been on the phone or email. I found my dream dress, but I couldn't buy it here so I was on a search to buy this dress! I must have emailed or called about 20 salons all over the US and CK was the only one willing to help!
I knew I was taking a risk buying the dress from a totally different state, without seeing it or knowing anything about the salon. However, Carrie and Julie were so happy to help me and they went out of their way to make it happen! I even had a nervous moment of uncertainty about sizing and must have emailed them a dozen times but they were so sweet and supportive and talked me through it.
I just got the dress in the mail last week and I nearly cried! It is gorgeous, came perfectly wrapped up and fits like a glove! I cannot thank them enough for making my wedding dress dream come true!
Thanks a million Carrie and Julie!! -

User2165617 Sent on 06/05/2015Even though things did not work out so perfectly (no fault of theirs) and I was unable to wear my mother of the bride dress for my daughters wedding, I have to say that Carrie, Julie and Hillary were so wonderful to work with, so professional and just a pleasure. We also ordered my daughters bridesmaids dresses here as well. They noticed a slight color discrepancy and immediately had Jenny Yoo remake the dresses for us in plenty of time for the wedding and they were so perfect. What service, care and attention to detail we found at this boutique. My son is getting married too this October and we ordered those bridesmaids dresses here as well! We have already received those dresses and they are just beautiful! This is the shop you want because, you know, sometimes things don't always go as planned and you need a team you can count on to be there for you, to take care of everything with care, professionalism, kindness and compassion. Thank you Carrie Karibo and Team for everything you did for myself and my family from beginning to end. -
User1783266 Sent on 08/27/2014Carrie Karibo Boutique is a brides santuary in Reading's bridal row. Its has a calm/quiet/light feel and you can tell the owner puts thought into the dresses she stocks. Its kinda like the Nordstrom of bridal boutiques...fantastic quality and design for a decent price!
Carrie really knows her dresses well, she can tell you straight away if they can be modified or what color they come. Best experience ever! I love my dress! -
User1607421 Sent on 05/05/2014I searched several bridal stores in my home town for the perfect wedding gown but could not find anything that I loved. My best friend has always raved about Carrie Karibo Boutique in Cincinnati, so I took a day off from work, got in my car and I drove almost 200 miles. I and so happy that I did because it was totally worth the time! This was a wonderful place with a great staff. I told the ladies what I was looking for and they showed me several gorgeous gowns including the one I will be walking down the aisle in. I am so happy I took Ami’s advice and whet to this place. The selection is so different from all of the generic bridal stores and they made it so easy and comfortable! -

Lauren Sent on 10/17/2014I wanted a dress that was not: poofy, strapless, or lacy. I wanted something that was classic but not necessarily traditional. This is harder to find than it sounds. Thank goodness for Carrie Karibo.
I visited on a Monday morning, which was fabulous, as we had the place to ourselves. (It is nice not to be rushed or crowded for these things.) The staff @ CKB was awesome. I was introduced to the different "sections" of designers, shown a few pieces, and then let loose to browse on my own. Unlike some boutiques that had only 1 or 2 dresses I would even consider, CKB had SO many beautiful, modern, unique (but still wearable!) gowns.
As I tried on dresses, the staff was super helpful in getting me in & out, tucked & clipped. We played bridal barbie and tried on different accessories with the dresses. Photos were snapped (they allow this here!) and I narrowed it down to two. One of the dresses was a bit more glamorous and form-fitting than I had imagined for myself, but it looked so lovely on and the ladies at CKB and my family gave me the confidence that I could totally pull it off. I wasn't quite sure, and since this was my first stop, and I decided to check out a few more places before deciding. I went to two other boutiques in Cincinnati.
The next time I was in town, I went back to CKB to buy the dress. Luckily for me, I came in on "White Friday" - the day after Thanksgiving, and got 10% off my wedding dress & veil. The comb on my veil wasn't correct when it arrived, but with a quick phone call, CKB took care of it. My San Patrick dress was so beautiful, and I cannot tell you how many people complimented my dress saying it was unlike any other wedding dress they had ever seen. I am so grateful to Carrie Karibo & her team for helping me pick the most beautiful dress for our wedding. I just wish I could wear it again. -
User1501465 Sent on 01/09/2014I recently got engaged on Christmas, so my mom and I decided to go celebrate and went looking at bridal gowns. We went to a couple of stores, not expecting to buy anything yet, since I don’t even have a wedding date. We were unimpressed with what we saw and were about to give up for the day but decided to look at one more store, Carrie Karibo Boutique. We walked in and were greeted by Carrie herself. She made us feel so comfortable and special. I told her what I liked and she pulled a few gowns for me to try on. When I tried the second dress on, I knew this was “the one” and bought it that day. So now all I have to do is pick-out a date to wear it!
