My mother and I visited every bridal store in Ohio. There are many choices in this state, however we decided upon Matina's because it was fairly close to our home. The selection is fine although a bit on the higher end, but well worth it for the special day. The staff was accomodating and knowledgable. The second time we went in to look at our remaining choices, the owner was on site for a few brief moments and didn't even speak to us, and in fact gave us a look of irritation. When we went in for the fitting, my mom and I experienced the same thing. The owner bustled by and looked at us as if we didn't belong there. With all of the choices out there, one would expect the owner, of all people to be gracious, friendly, welcoming and warm. Thankfully she has a staff of sweet women to make up for her lack of professionalism. Be sure not to allow the owner to assist you. She seems rather full of herself for some unkown reason. Other than that, it was quite a lovely experience.
