Amazing place!

I had a great experience at my bridal appointment last September of 2021. It was very private and an employee was helping me the entire way. Once I found my dress, I was even helped to find the perfect veil.

3 Months later in January of 2023 my Grandfather was admitted into hospice. I contacted the bridal store if i could borrow the sample of my dress I tried on to show him since he was not going to make out wedding. They were more than happy to help with request and even wanted to speed up my dress I ordered. Unfortunately he passed a few days later and I let Julie Allen know. They were very sympathetic and so kind about my loss.

In July of 2023 my dress arrived and when I went back to their store I got the same excellent treatment as when I was there the first time. Before I left my appointment, an employee introduced herself and said she was so sorry again about my Grandfather. That was the best ending to my appointment I could have received.

I am so happy that I chose to get my dress at Julie Allen. Not only are their employees hard workers but they are compassionate, caring and will do everything they can to help you in any situation! I will be back next summer (2024) to start on my alterations and will definitely be posting an update!!!

Amazing place!

Julie Allen Bridal is amazing!! 10 years ago I helped my sister find the dress of her dreams and then I found the dress of my dreams. When I told them my vision and budget they matched it exactly and I bought the second dress I tried on. Alterations were SO easy and they pressed and steamed the dress so it was all ready for me on my big day! Highly recommend.

2 Days Notice

I highly recommend Julie Allen Bridal. My husband and I decided to get married and plan a wedding in less than a week, due to my mother in law getting diagnosed with terminal cancer.
I made an appointment on Thursday to look for a dress. I was overwhelmed when I saw the large variety of dresses and accessories, but given a description of the dress I was looking for Melanie already had a dress in mind. I don't know how Melanie did it but it was like she was in my brain and knew exactly what I was looking for. One look at it and I knew it was the one! The dress was everything I dreamed about, but lost hope for knowing I didn't leave any time for alterations. They fitted me the same day and OVERNIGHT they managed to make a size 10 dress fit me, who is around a size 0. The dress looked like it was made for me. Melanie went in the back and returned with the perfect veil.
I cannot say enough good things about Melanie (and her staff), she really is a fairy god mother!
