    Amazing!!!!

    I had the most wonderful experience here. It was my first time dress shopping and the attention I received is next to none. The very first dress was "the one" but my stylist and my friends stuck with me as I tried on soo many others - as I had no idea coming in what style I wanted! My stylist Sue picked up on what I liked almost immediately and kept bringing me great dresses, all were amazing! There was no pressure to buy, and I did leave to go to another shop in the same day. I called about an hour before close to come back to buy my dress and they were absolutely amazing in getting me in, getting me back into the dress so I could see it one more timea nd finalizing the sale. I would recommend this place again and again!

    Amazing customer service and dress selection

    MA Carr was amazing to me. The first time I went in was my first time trying on dresses and I went with my brother and mom and they were so nice and sweet and accommodating. The second time I came in was six months later and Karen worked with me, my sister, and my best friend. They had all of my information and, while they didn't have the dress I was looking at last time, they brought out other dresses that were similar. This was how I found my perfect dress! They were so nice and helpful. I had another dress appointment afterwards and asked if I could come back later if I still wanted that dress and they said no problem. We did end up coming back later and they stayed open a little later for us. They were so helpful, from start to end. I would definitely recommend

    Enjoyable and Memorable

    The team at M. A. Carr provided an easy and memorable experience finding my wedding dress and veil. I received so many compliments on my dress.

    Knowledgeable, Friendly and Professional

    I had an amazing experience at MA Carr! I visited and had several appointments, one on short notice and Jillian was able to fit me in. Each time, my appointments were with Karen, who is an absolute sweetheart! Both ladies are very knowledgable in the designers they carry, lead time for ordering, different looks and pairings with veils, options for material and color and asked helpful questions that help make this wonderful decision something that you envision for your big day! Me being indecisive, they knew which ideas and options to throw my way to help me narrow down the search! I truly loved my experience at this boutique!

    Professional and personable

    The young woman that I worked with at MA Carr was truly amazing. She took all of my likes and dislikes and presented me with my dream dress. The only set back is that they do not provide alterations. I went to Village Tailor for alternations and is was an awful experience.

    Amazing Staff & Beautiful Dress Selections

    I cannot thank everyone at MA Carr enough for helping me pick out my dress for my Fall wedding this past October. Kim was a pleasure to work with and she helped me pick out the perfect dress! The dress was stunning and I received so many compliments. I can not recommend MA Carr enough!

    Karen was absolutely wonderful

    I went into MA Carr after going to a bunch of bridal boutiques but not having any luck finding THE dress. I had a vision of what I wanted but everything I tried on just wasn’t for me. Karen brought me out dresses based on pictures I had shown her but I still didn’t find one I loved. She asked me to humor her and try on one that wasn’t exactly the style I wanted and it was MY dress. The second I put it on I knew I had to have it. I could not have had a better experience there. Trust the stylists there...they know what they’re doing and they will not let you down

    Amazing help finding my dream Hayley Paige wedding gown!

    I went into M.A. Carr about a year before my wedding because they had a Hayley Paige trunk show. I had a few different ideas of what I wanted, but that quickly changed once I started trying on that style dress. The lady I worked with came back with a gown that was a perfect mix of what I had been liking and I knew it was the one before I even put it on. This was only dress #5. It was perfect. Everyone was so helpful and nice in there.

    Loved my dress

    I had visited another dress shop before going to MA Carr and I had a terrible experience. At MA Carr my wants were taken seriously and I felt so comfortable. My dress....BEYOND what I had pictured. I am so so happy!

    I had the most wonderful experience shopping at M.A. Carr Bridal! I cannot recommend this bridal salon enough. This was my last of four appointments that day, and the 8th bridal store I visited overall. Needless to say, I was exhausted by the time we got there and feeling discouraged by the whole process. After so many appointments, I had a very good idea of what I wanted, but really wasn't looking forward to trying on any more dresses. I worked with Kathy who was absolutely wonderful from the beginning. When I explained to her that I had already been to many bridal salons, she asked to see any pictures I had of dresses I liked. Right off the bat, she was very patient and attentive as I showed her my two favorites dresses and explained to her what I liked and wasn't sure about with each one. It was such a relief to be listened to as I had been to a few appointments where you feel like the consultant isn't truly listening or already thinks they know what's best for you. Kathy asked a few additional questions to make sure she understood what I wanted and set out to pull some dresses for me from the back, and boy, did she find the most beautiful dresses! I was completely blown away by their selection! I tried on about 6 dresses, each was the silhouette and fabric I knew I wanted but with different necklines and details to make each unique. Kathy was very helpful during the actual on-and-off process. She allowed me to change in the room by myself which I prefer, but then would come in to zipper/button me up and add the clamps. As soon as I tried on the second to last dress of the day, even before Kathy added the clamps to it, I knew I had a different feeling in it than any other dress I had tried. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting to end up with, but I fell completely in love with it instantly. I walked into M.A. Carr Bridal feeling tired and defeated with the whole process, and walked out on cloud nine with a more beautiful dress than I could have imagined!

    Awesome Staff & Beautiful Dress Selections

    I cannot thank MA Carr & their staff enough for all of the assistance in the wedding dress process! I purchased my wedding dress here, along with my bridesmaids dress and my mothers dress. From start to finish, all of the staff was amazing and so helpful! They gave us lots of options to chose from and suggestions. My wedding day wouldn't have been as perfect as it was without their help! THANK YOU again for everything!

    Amazing experience! Great selection and fantastic staff!

    I went for an appointment at a different bridal salon and did not purchase a gown but planned to go back for a second appointment to make a decision. In the mean time I went for an appointment at MA Carr and the experience was a million times better! I am SO happy I went there and found my dress. The stylist ended up suggesting a gown I would have never thought to try on and I ended up loving it! Everyone was amazing!

    Beautiful Dress and Friendly Staff

    I got my dress from M.A. Carr and it was absolutely beautiful. It made me feel like a true bride. When I received my dress it was very big on me. I had lost some weight before my dress arrived and I was very nervous about it fitting. The owner of the shop spoke with my mother and I and helped to calm our nerves and recommended the perfect tailor. I could not be more happy about how the dress turned out. My bridesmaids also got their dresses from this shop and they always kept open communication. The only complaint I have is that my junior bridesmaids got measured at the shop and her dresses ended up being huge on her! I am not sure what happened but otherwise the service and the dress selection was amazing!

    Excellent experience

    Erin and everyone at MA Carr were extremely kind and professional. Erin did an amazing job helping me find the perfect dress (I had a very specific vision in mind) and was even able to order a sample of my dress in a different color so I could make the right decision. I was so incredibly happy with my dress; it was perfect the day of my wedding!

    As a plus-size bride on a budget, I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to find a dress that was affordable and that I loved. I figured that I would have to make a decision to either settle on a dress I could afford, but didn't love, or spend more on a dress I love and rearrange my budget. I found my perfect dress at M.A. Carr, and it was well-within what I could afford. Everything else I had tried on looked fine, but none of them were "the dress". When I tried on the dress I ultimately ended up purchasing, I cried. I didn't feel fat, I felt beautiful--something I didn't think was possible. My consultant was fantastic; she worked within my budget, and listened to what I liked and didn't like about specific dresses. The moment I put my dress on with a veil and other accessories, I knew that this was the dress I was going to get married in. I cannot recommend this bridal salon enough! I did not have to settle on a dress at all, or worry about how much I was spending. They truly made my dress dreams come true!

    Thank you so very much, Sara, for this phenomenal review!!! We are thrilled that we were able to help you find "THE" dress!! We cannot wait to see pictures of how amazing you will look on your wedding day! Thank you for choosing to become an #MACarrBride!!! xo M. A.

    bridemaid dresses gorgeous

    I had gone into MA Carr to look for bridesmaids dresses after seeing one they had displayed at a bridal show that I really liked. I ended up not liking that particular dress but picked out another one that I absolutely loved! Everyone there was so kind and helpful and gave me great service even though I did not get my wedding dress from them. The bridesmaid dresses were priced reasonably and came in within 5 months. One of my bridesmaids did not live locally and she was able to order her dress remotely which was great!! My mother and MIL also went there to look at dresses and did not find exactly what they wanted but also had nothing but great things to say about the salon. Their consultant had even sent them thank you cards in the mail and told them if there was anything they could help them out with to let them know. That was an extremely personal touch that was so nice in my opinion. Makes you feel like you were not just a number. I would definitely recommend MA Carr for any formal event.

    Found my perfect dress!

    M. A. Carr helped me find the absolute perfect dress for my wedding. I fell in love with it when I put it on, and all throughout my wedding people were gushing over how completely perfect and “me” the dress was. Melissa helped me figure out the perfect fit and style for me within my budget, and brought my dream gown vision to life. I cannot thank you all enough for helping me find my perfect wedding dress.

    Wedding Dress

    Kim was nothing but a pleasure to work with while finding my wedding dress! I am a bigger girl and was very worried about finding a wedding dress that I felt comfortable in. While I was working with Kim I never felt as though I was a “big girl” and she made the wedding dress experience just as wonderful as any other girl. When going into the appointment I didn’t give her much as far as what I wanted because I was honestly not sure. Each dress I tried on she took into account what I did and didn’t like and each dress got better and better until I found the one! She also was extremely patient with me and made several phone calls to the designer to ask about purchasing extra material to eventually add sleeves, raise the back of the dress, and add extra lace. Although I worked with Kim directly, the entire staff at M.A Carr was absolutely awesome! They create an extremely professional, friendly and fun environment while finding your wedding dress!

    I LOVED my experience at MA Carr. I worked with Erin and she helped me find the dress of my dreams. She did so an amazing job. I gave her an idea of what I have like and had not like so far in previous boutiques and the first dress she pulled was my dress! It was perfection. Before MA Carr, I only found a dress or two that I was okay with. I wasn't in love. But Erin pulled me at least 3 or 4 dresses that I would have excited to get married in and would have picked above anything I had seen before. If you want sparkle on your dress, MA Carr has way more sparkle in their dresses than any of the other stores in WNY. I also loved that Erin helped adding sleeves to my dress. She was able to mix and match sleeves from another dress maker that completed the look I wanted. I just picked up my dress yesterday and I am so happy! I can't wait to walk down the aisle in my dress! I had the best experience at MA Carr and I highly recommend that every WNY bride checks them out before purchasing a dress anywhere else.

    From the moment I called I received the best of service. Everyone was so nice and accommodating and were very helpful! They answered all of my questions and were so patient during my appointment. When I came back with my bridesmaids they easily were able to get us in and helped all of us as well. I got my dress and 7 bridesmaid dresses, all of which came on time and were stunning. The best in Buffalo!

    Great Selection & Wonderful Staff

    All the staff was great. Karen had a great eye with not only selecting the dress that I ultimately said yes to, but to pick the dress for my maid of honor and bride's maid. They have a great selection! They honored the price range we gave them and none of the dresses that I narrowed it down to were at the upper end of the range. They had accommodations for out-of town bridal party members which was very helpful! They were great to work with and I would definitely recommend them.
