I shopped around a lot before purchasing my dress and Jinny's had the best value for your dress. However they were not very helpful with helping me determine the size dress I should buy, I was between sizes and probably should have bought a size smaller dress. They also were not as responsive to my questions after I purchased my dress. My bridesmaids also purchased their dresses with Jinny's. Some of the girls were not able to come in for a fitting and they had difficulty with submitting their measurements.

I really enjoyed my experience at Jinny's Bridal. Everyone was super nice really helpful. It felt like I was in a small, boutique type place but they had so many options.

My sister got her dress from Jinny's so that was one of the first places I looked. I feel in love with the dress and loved Marina, but that was about all the good that came out of the experience. I had to call several times to find out the status of the alterations. The alterations lady was reluctant to do what I asked and charged WAY too much!!

I would not recommend Jinny's Bridal to anyone who wants to remain sane during the wedding planning process. This is the only vendor I had difficulties with. First, my dress came in nearly a month after the date that it was supposed to. I would understand if it was completely out of their hands but the store actually lied to us a couple of times and said the dress had already been shipped and would be here, when that was definitely not the case. When the dress did come in, because it was so close to my wedding, it was easiest to get alterations done there...big mistake! An hour before my third fitting, the alterations person calls to tell me she is not finished and needs to reschedule. I waited at the store for an HOUR for our rescheduled appointment and she never showed. It was extremely unprofessional. And, she had my dress at home with her so I could not just take it with me and go somewhere else. Luckily, they had one good alterations person who did all of the last minute alterations when I insisted a new alterations person, Margot, and she ended up fixing things in time. It was definitely not worth the added stress. If anything, by your dress from Jinny's about very far in advance and do not think about getting it altered there.

They were very helpful and accommodating while selecting my dress. I told them exactly how much I wanted to pay and they didn't pressure me to spend more. I also only had 10 weeks before the wedding and Jinny got the dress to me early. The only problem I had was with the alterations - but you could go somewhere else.

I was very very happy with my dress and the cost was only a little over budget (after buying the dress, alterations, and steaming...phew). I was however a little stressed out and a bit frustrated with the employees. For the most part the were helpful but it seemed like they were all over the place and kinda said what I wanted to hear a lot. So go in relaxed and try to just do things yourself...

After going to about 5 other "discount" wedding dress boutiques, including large retailers like David's Bridal and Alfred Angelo, I was getting pretty discouraged about finding a dress that I liked that was within my budget (under $800). Originally I had thought that was plenty, but I guess I have expensive taste, and the only dresses I found under $1000 were made out of really cheap material and were styles from the 90's. Ew.
Some of my friends suggested going to Jinny's Bridal (a couple of my now-husband's friends from college got their dresses there too!), so I went and checked them out.
Holy cow what a selection!! The difference between them and the other boutiques I had visited were like night and day. It was crazy! I literally just ran around and chose about 10 different dresses I liked off the racks, and ALL of them were under my budget! And I'm picky, so that's saying something. The sales ladies there are very knowledgable and very nice and I felt like I was well taken care of. I think the 3rd dress I tried on that day was the one I ended up with!
I was so happy with it! I got a mermaid style with more of an a-line skirt (flared out at the hips, not knees), and it was a sweetheart strapless neckline, with a corset back, in diamond white. It was genuine Maggie Sottero too! Because it was corset-style, I didn't need to have it altered (yay!), and with 2 1/2" heels, I didn't need it hemmed either. Just a bustle! It was perfect, I couldn't have been happier with it!

My best friend found her dress at Jinny's and I totally forgot about until after a bad experience at another dress shop. I went into Jinny's by myself with no appointment, but it wasn't a problem at all. Before I knew it, we were pulling dresses over my head. I gave her my price range and she never blinked an eye. The dress I chose was the last one I tried on and I didn't like it on the rack. But when it got cinched up and that corset did what it's supposed to do, I fell in love with it. Anything that can make my waist look tiny I'm all about. The dress was a couture Maggie Sotterro that had only been tried on once before and since I could buy it off the floor, I got a 50% discount. The dress was stunning, and well under $1000.

Have no complaints!! Very helpful, love what they do. The only thing is make sure you ask if pressing the dress is included in alterations.

This was the first bridal shop i came to when I first got engaged. They are family owned and very friendly BUT I didn't find the dress I liked. We did come back here since it was so close to my sister in law's house and it was like 3 weeks till the wedding and we were looking for a flower girl dress for my niece. I called couple shops and they said I would need 4-6 weeks at least to get the dress in if I order from them. I freaked out of course and had to go running around to see if there was any off the racks that we liked but there wasn't since it all looked kinda old and worn since a lot of girls probably tried it on and above all they didn't really have a size 3. So as soon as we got to Jinny's - Jinny took care of us and told us there's a designer that could get it for us in a week and when she showed me the dress - my sis in law and I both said YES since it looked just like my wedding dress style but just the mini version. I custom made the bow so it would match my bridesmaid dresses and it all worked out. Less than a week we got a call from Jinny that the dress was there. We were so excited to see our cute flower girl in her dress. It worked out great and above all it was reasonable. Other places charged at least $100 for little girl dresses but Jinny was definitely reasonable. After my wedding I got my gown preservation box from Jinny as well since she was $50 cheaper than most places plus she even helped me putting everything together. Great bridal shop and not pushy at all!!

All the people at Jinny's are very sweet and kind, the bridal gowns are beautiful and an amazing value. My only complaint was that it is a busy store and even with an appointment you could find yourself talking over several other brides. Also they never called when my dress finally came in so it was a bit of a scare to find that it had been sitting there for nearly a month! But the dress was lovely and pressed to a T when the day came.

Got my dress, bridesmaids' dresses, and flower girl's dress here. I was very pleased with the quality for the price. The dresses were very affordable, and looked like they costed a lot more than they did. I absolutely loved my dress. Jinny was great to work with, and Elizabeth does wonderful alterations. I would definitely recommend Jinny's Bridal.

I purchased a discontinued dress which was a great deal, but prior to getting to that point, I had some issues with Jinny as I was in the searching process. I felt rushed every time I went in there and she'd say one thing and then a few minutes later say something totally different. I also ordered my veil through them from another company. The veil turned out nice. All in all, I had an ok experience, but maybe if I was working with another consultant it would have been better for me. Once I had my veil and dress in hand, I was thrilled to be out of there. I had my dress altered else where. Brides, do your homework and don't settle.

When my mom and I went shopping for wedding dresses, we went to every shop in the area possible. Because I had been to so many shops, I immediately knew Jinny’s Bridal was the place I wanted to buy my dress from. The girls were very friendly, acoomodating, helpful and truthful. I didn’t really know what I wanted and spent hours trying on dress after dress and even going back to some dresses to try them on again. When I tried on “the one”, I was able to take a picture so that I could sleep on my decision. The prices at Jinny’s are very competitive (for both bridal gowns and bridesmaids gowns) and turn-around times are quick. Even though my wedding was over a year away, I ordered my dress and it came in 3 weeks later! I choose to order my bridesmaids dresses from there also. I had no idea what I wanted and went into the shop numerous times to try to figure out what style and color would be best for my wedding. I explained my “theme” and was given suggestions. In the end, I choose Mori Lee long lipstick shade dresses. I never would have thought the color would look good, but the girls at the shop suggested it and they were right!
