Mecklenburg Bridal

I enjoyed my experience here. I looked at Bridesmaids dresses with my maid of honor. We worked with Kay and she was extremely nice. She was not high pressure at all. My maid of honor and i took our time. We had plenty of selection and we ended of finding a dress. My biggest concern was my other bridesmaids. They are all out of state. But Kay advised that i buy all the dresses at the same time, that way they are all from the samel lot and will match exactly. So i sent my girls measurements to Kay and sure enough, a few weeks later, they all received their dresses to their homes. It was much easier for them, and i didn't have to worry that they found the ""right dress"". I chose not to wear a vail at my wedding, but i did sit down with Jet anyway and she was a doll. She does do beautiful work, so don't forget to meet her while you are there. \r Pros: Selection, Staff Cons: Fee - it was initially a turnoff, but after the valuable consultation i received - i would have paid double! more

I had the pleasure of puchasing my gown at Mecklenburg Bridal with the help of a very qualified and delightful saleslady. She knew her Bridal gown designers and gave me much more information than I found in bridal magazines. I felt no pressure, even though my wedding is in February! I needed a gown to walk down the aisle! My consultant was patient and I felt all the attention was on me. I am a size 18, (thanks to my Italian genes) and found the perfect gown for me. \r Twenty-five dollars??!!!? Geez. Come on! Grow up! How much do you pay for a manicure? Hair style? A pair of shoes? The video and photographs of your wedding day are forever!!! Give Mecklenburg Bridal another chance, gowns look very different on a body than a hanger; attitude. Pros: Beautiful store! Knowledgeable sales ladies! Cannot wait to see MY gown! Cons: Nothing! more

I visited Mecklenburg Bridal after two very disappointing experiences. One at a local bridal chain, and one at a higher end salon. I did not have an appointment and was caught off guard by the consultation fee, but the consultant encouraged be to look around at their selection to see if I though it would be worth it to pay. \r (She explained I would later be able to use it as a credit towards my gown, my bridesmaid dresses, or my mother's dress.) Boy did I! I had no idea how many gowns they had....it was hard to pick. And the prices were unbelieveably affordable!\r Fortunately, I had gone during the week. This proved in my favor, although I did not have an appointment, I was able to take my time trying on several gowns. I found my gown after trying on the 1st one! But the consultant encouragement me again to give them all a try before deciding. Which I did, and still loved the first one! I was pleasantly suprised how easy it was. I made an appointment for that Saturday with my mom and maid of honor to purchase. My mother was so impressed with the service she too found a dress. My maids will be getting 15% off. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bridal shop. Save yourself the hassle of going from store to store and get everything done at Mecklenburg Bridal!\r \r Oh and by the way, I put my credit toward my maid of honor's dress... Pros: Selection,Prices, One stop shop, great service more

My mother and I had the most wonderful experience here and I feel the story should be told! Yes, they do have a consultation fee.....BUT you have 3 opportunities to get it back as a credit! (I am from the north where these fees are not uncommon!) And I was informed clearly about this fee when I called to schedule my first appointment. Their gown selection is AWESOME.....I did not find a selection like this ANYWHERE else!!! The entire staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to assist us with whatever our needs were! My gown came in right on time and the alteration process was a dream.....both seamstresses were more than happy to make suggestions to accomplish the look that I had envisioned! This store comes highly recommended by many of my friends who also had nothing but GREAT things to say about their professionalism and willingness to follow the entire process though! I could not have been more pleased with my entire experience at Mecklenburg Bridal Gallery!!!!!!!! THEY ARE GREAT!!!!!! Pros: Service, Selection, Awesome customer service!!!! more

This place charges 25 dollars just to try on dresses. They are very rude and do not help you pick out dresses. So what is the 25 dollars for??? Who knows. Probably because they can't sell wedding dresses. There wedding dresses are way over priced. Other shops have the same dress cheaper (ex. bridal mart, impressions bridal and formal wear in Concord). The only reason to go here is to visit Jet Taylor. She makes handmade veils and is independent from the ladies that sell the wedding dresses. Jet is amazing and does high quality work. She is able to make a veil quickly if you need it in a hurry. Just remember do not go here to get your wedding dress only your veil. You don't have to pay Jet to look at her veils! Pros: Jet Taylor who makes veils, She is amazing!! Cons: Charge 25 dollars, rude, snobby, won't help with the dresses, won't refund your 25 dollars more

I had a pretty bad experience as well here, I drove 45 minutes to get there and came with a long list of dresses both bridal and bridesmaid that I was interested in and not one of them did they have in the store even though they carried the designer! I was told they couldnt order a sample dress so I could see it in person, I had to buy the dress to even try it on! Not to mention they dont tell you when you book your appt. about the 25 dollar appointment fee, which is just ridiculous who pays money to try on dresses especially since they didnt even carry anything I was interested in! Pros: nothing Cons: location, appointment fee, no selection more

I had a great time trying on gown here. I read a few reviews on other sites that didn't speak so kindly of it. Some mentioned not having dresses for girls that weren't a size 2! well I'm a size 8 (in normal clothes) and all the gowns I picked out were not a size 2! I personally enjoyed it. I felt as though I was thouroughly taken care of and was not rushed. My 2 hr appt last 3 hrs! I even got to try on my favorites a second time after I tried on a ton of gowns of various styles and by many different designers. I was however not aware of the consultation fee ($25) but as a service provider I understand and I think it was worth it plus if you get you gown from them they take the $25 off the price of the gown. Pros: Selection and service Cons: Consult fee more

I love Mecklenburg Bridal! After shopping at many different bridal shops for the perfect dress, I realized that this was the place for me. I loved the one-on-one attention and the fact that they are honest with their opinions. Yes, you may pay a little more than you'd expect for your dream dress but I would gladly pay double that amount to get the wonderful service. Kay and Alice are so nice and helpful. I had an issue with several ""picks' in my silk dress and Kay took care of it like a true professional. more
