    I just purchased my wedding dress last night from Sophie's last night and the service I received from my bridal consultant, Ianna, was outstanding. She was so patient, caring, helpful, and did not pressure me to go over budget. They had a wide selection of designer gowns and had some really great sale items! I can't wait to go back for my first fitting!

    I just bought my dress from Sophie's this weekend. A woman named Cheyenne helped me and she was great (and I think she was new too). She was so helpful and friendly and made my dress shopping experience fantastic. I showed her dress styles that I liked and while they did not have the dresses I showed her, she brought me similar styles after listening to what I liked. It just so happens I bought the first dress she brought me to try on (after trying on many others, going home and thinking about it, and then returning the next weekend.) She was also really funny and personable and paid attention to my budget. I am so happy with my dress and the experience I had there. I will probably go back to buy my bridesmaid dresses from her assuming the designers they sell have the colour I'm looking for. I can't wait for my dress to come in and I hope the rest of the process is as smooth as this.

    My experience with Sophie's Gown Shoppe was second to none. From the time I tried on dresses to my final fitting, I always felt taken care of. The alteration team was amazing too and didn't stop until the dress was perfect on me. Thank you so much for helping me look beautiful in my perfect wedding dress!

    Customer service is incredible. They were so flexible when I went back to switch the dress I paid for to another one I couldn't stop thinking about! Kudos to the team for helping to put my mind to ease during a stressful season. Thank you :)

    I went to Sophie's for my bridesmaid dresses (I wish I could have purchased my wedding dress there!). When I went with my bridemaids in December, we had an amazing consultant (I wish I could remember her name)! She was VERY patient with us and let us try on multiple dresses. We were a little bit of a challenging group because two of my four bridesmaids were hoping to be pregnant in time for my wedding. With that being said, she did a great job and found us a reasonably priced dress that everyone loved!

    When we went in to try on the dresses for the first time (in mid-March), my MOH dress didn't fit her because the zipper was ruined before she even tried it on. My other MOH had her clasp break as she tried to do it up. The manager, Tanya, came over and assured us that these issues would be fixed right away. We decided to get those two dresses altered at the store to ensure the problem was fix. When we arrived for the first fitting, I was happy to see that the zipper and clasp had been fixed!! The dresses fit great and the seamstress was awesome!

    I can't say enough good things about Tanya (the store manager). She has an AMAZING personality, and did everything to ensure we were happy with our purchase. I really enjoyed working with her and would recommend this place to ANY of my friends! if you have any issues, ask for Tanya because she will solve it and make you feel so much better!!

    After visiting over 10 shops, I was starting to be discouraged, and thought I'd never find THE dress. As soon as I came in, I noticed the shop was very nicely decorated, and seemed to have a lot of inventory. I received a warm welcome, although I had not made an appointment, and within a few minutes of describing the dress I was looking for, the consultant, brought me several dresses that fit the description. One of them was my dress. From the initial interaction to the final fitting, to the moment I left with my dress, the staff was truly great to deal with. I highly recommend this bridal shop as the first stop for any bride in the area.

    I bought my wedding gown and bridesmaids dresses from Sophies. Everything was perfect. I found the salesgirls to be very knowledgable and patient. Alyssa helped me and found my dress within the first 3 dresses I tried on, I LOVED IT!!!. My whole gown shopping process was very enjoyable. The seamstress was fantastic. They do all there alterations on-site even for my bridesmaids, it was perfect. I would definitely recommend all brides visit Sophies . They have the best selection of any stores that I have visited even in Toronto! The staff were so friendly I loved going in to see them everytime. Thanks Sophies

    Sophies Gown Shoppe was very helpful when selecting my dress.
    The ladies who work there are all ready to help you.
    You can also get your adjustments done in the store, which is nice and they do it quite fast.
    Lots of gowns to choose from.

    Bought my bridal gown at Sophie's last summer and it was an amazing experience! We *finally* got married on May 18, and the dress was absolutely perfect. They were very flexible - because I was moving to the United States in December, they put a rush on my gown, and had it ready a few weeks before I left. The seamstress was able to add an extra layer of crinoline to my crinoline that I purchased online, to make the dress extra poofy. Working with Tanya was a godsend. She is so talented at what she does. From the moment I tried on my dress, everyone agreed that it was absolutely perfect for me. We didn't even need to make any big alterations - all we did was add detachable cap sleeves, to suit the look that I wanted!

    I got so many compliments, and so many people told me that my dress was made for me. Couldn't be happier with my dress, and with the staff at Sophies! https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10151465691573520&id=108492123519

    After buying my first dress and having dress regret I went to Sophie's in search of a perfect dress. Bobbie who helped me was amazing and she pulled the perfect dress. I did my alterations at the store and I recommend going during the day if you can since it can be pretty hectic in the store for evening alteration appointments. I had issues getting the fit I was looking for and the girls at the store were very patient and accommodating and the end result was fantastic. I did not find the salespeople pushy at all when shopping for a dress which was my experience with another bridal salon.

    After only two appointments I found my dress. It was not what I originally had in mind but the sales girl suggested I try it on. It was love for sure. Sophie's carries a large variety of current dresses. They are very helpful and make it a positive experience. When my dress came in they had me come and try it on. They suggested I try crinoline underneath to see if I would like it. They also reminded me to bring any shoes or jewelry to the appointment. I ordered my veil from them also. My next fitting will be in June and I am very excited about it. I loved when they showed my how the bustle would look at the back of the dress - it was different and a big selling feature for me.

    I went to Sophie's in a Friday afternoon, so I had a lot of space, and was not too crowded full of other brides and their groups. I could see it getting very squishy and crowded on a busy Saturday, so I recommend a weekday visit if you can. Gordana was super helpful and pulled many dresses that I loved. There were a few that I just stood and stared at myself for a long time and she was totally patient with me, and felt like part of my entourage. She let me change into the gowns myself, and came in to help zip/tie the back- if anyone is nervous about having someone in your change room! I never felt pressured to buy anything. Out of all the dress shops I've been to so far, Sophie's selection is massive... You could definitely find something you liked here. The only thing I didn't like was that the sample sizes were a little too small, so I had a hard time picturing what they'd look and feel like in a bigger size.

    The service I received when looking for my dress was awesome. The lady was very helpful and listened as to what I was looking for in a dress. She was also very helpful when helping me choose the colour of bridesmaid dresses. My wedding gown is champagne so, it was a little tricky for me, she suggested sangria as my colour and I couldn't be more pleased. They were really flexible on my down payment for the dress and were extremely helpful when it came for sizing for my girls and I. I haven't gotten my dress back yet, but I'm not worried with how smooth everything went in choosing a wedding gown. I know with great service I'm in good hands :)

    I purchased my wedding dress from Sophies and my bridal consultant was Omi. She is the sweetest lady! I felt horrible each time I asked to try on another dress because after trying on a bunch those things get SOOO heavy, but Omi was so happy to let me try on as many as I needed to...and re-try dresses, etc. Omi was very honest the entire time about how dresses looked on me which was refreshing because I had been to other places where I definitely knew a dress looked aweful and the sales associate was obviously just looking for their commission. Omi had me in and out of dresses that didnt work quickly, complimented what was working and kindly mentioned what was not. She's great with clamping you into a dress so you can get a better sense of what the dress will look like once you have it in your size. She looked so genuinely happy for me when I found my dress. If you're going to Sophie's - ask for Omi! As the for other staff, everyone was great. My dress took a really really long time to arrive, like 9 months, but apparently this is the norm....my friend however, bought her dress back in January and it has already arrived so I guess it just depends on a number of things. The prices were reasonable and the store has a great selection.

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience choosing my dress at Sophie's. My consultant was Tanya, and she was amazing. I was a little unsure what I wanted at first, but she showed me a bunch of styles until I decided what I wanted and really focused on narrowing it down to find "the one". All told, I think she spent over 4 hours straight with me, and I was shocked when we heard how long we'd been at it! (I was there during the week, it's probably a lot harder to get that much time all to yourself on a weekend!)

    I made a few adjustments to the dress, including add a little cap sleeve that didn't originally come with my style, and it was all smooth. I definitely got the attentiveness I needed from all the consultants on my first and subsequent visits. I had a destination wedding as well, and Tanya even gave me her personal number and told me to call her if I had any trouble at all with my dress at the airport, or anything!

    I will say, working with the seamstress was not my favourite part of the process. She was a little pushy at first steering me towards getting a crinoline, even though it was not the look I wanted, to avoid doing a hem. In the end I changed my mind and had a hem added. Alterations were quite pricey! But I didn't want to shop around for somewhere else to do them.

    In conclusion, I really enjoyed my experience at Sophie's. Particularly because I went to two other bridal salons for my bridesmaids dresses, and the experience there wasn't close to as nice!

    I had a great experience with Sophies finding my gown.
    They listened to what I wanted and delivered for a fantastic price!
