Just picked up my gown this week for my 1/14/12 wedding and I can't thank Park Ave enough!! The staff is INCREDIBLE, all so kind, nice and "smiley". I bought my gown almost a year ago from Teresa and LOVE it even more now than I did the day I got it! She was so sweet and helpful. We also bought my mom's dress and my 5 bridesmaids at Park Ave. Jean helped us and she too was THE BEST!! She made all my girls feel comfortable even when they picked their sizes (which could have been a very stressful experience). She was fun and really gave good advise. I would recommend Park Ave to everyone!!

I need to clarify that the sales team and the front desk at Park Ave did a fantastic job and were great to deal with throughout the process. The reason for them not receiving 5 stars all around was mainly around the fitting/seamstress process. I had to go back four times to get my dress fitted correctly, which is fine, if it wasn't for the main seamstress trying to convince me that a) there was nothing wrong with the bustle (when it was clearly longer on one side compared to the other) b) tried to tell me that the dress was steamed and ready to go when it clearly wasn't with all the creases in it and c) was very rude when my mom and I would tell her that the bustle still was not right (after the 4th time there!). Park Ave has a great selection of dresses but the seamstresses left a bad taste in my mouth about the this place (except for Theresa the bustle "specialist" who was very patient, albeit slow and seemed to be unsure of how to fix the problem). Just be careful as you need to be on top of them for all fittings. Everything worked out in the end though and I loved my dress.

We got my bridal gown, veils, and bridesmaids dresses and had such a great expereince the whole step of the way!!!! Angela was my bridal consultant and was always super sweet!!! Gary Is amazing!!!! Originally my bridesmaids where suppose to be in a dusty rose color but the color palette they had said the dress didn't come in the color i had wanted...So i changed it to a lighter purple color...When i got home I saw online that they did carry that color in the dress we ordered..I quickly called Gary and told him..he double checked and realized the they didnt get updated color charts..no problem they fixed everything and when my dresses came in they were the color i orginally wanted and looked gorgeous!!!! I would recommend them in a heartbeat!!!!

My daughter lives outside of Washington DC and was married at Highlawn Pavilion on 9/4/11. She found the perfect dress together with her Aunt Sandy, myself and Patty. The staff at Park Ave Bridal and the seamstresses were absolutely attentive and professional. I also bought my dress there (MOTB) and was just thrilled with it. Thank you for making my daughter's day just perfect!

I found my dress at another bridal shop, but called around for the best price. Park Ave Bridal just had a trunk show with my designer and were willing to give me the trunk show price even though the show was officially over. They came in $800 under other salons, so I rolled the dice and went with them. I also got my veil there too. Although it was more than I wanted to spend, it was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. It really complimented my dress to a tee.

If you go to Park Ave Bridals, you must must must have Patty as your consultant. If it weren't for Patty, I don't know what I would have done. She makes you feel very comfortable, tells you how it is, and finds the perfect to solution to any problem. The alterations lady was also great, and she made me feel at ease that my dress would fit perfectly & it did!

I also got my bridesmaid dresses there too, and got a great price on all of my girls' dresses. They also have late hours on Monday/Friday's which helped as I live 30 minutes away and work in Manhattan. I would recommend Park Ave Bridals to a future bride. If you don't want a stuffy feel and want down to earth people helping you, than Park Ave is your place.

Overall the prices were great and I ended up with a great dress. I just wasn't pleased with how the top of the dress fit, it was a sweetheart neckline and I felt like I was talked into it. I really wanted a strapless that was straight not sweetheart so that I didn't have to worry about people seeing down the front of my dress or worry about bending forward in it. The saleswoman told me it would be fine when it was in my own size and that it would lay flat against my chest... when the dress came in, the seamstress explained to me that that would be impossible unless she stapled it to my chest. Bottom line, the dress was beautiful but I was not comfortable all night worrying about my boobs showing. Oh and also, they never called me to tell me that my dress or the bridesmaids dresses were in. Good thing I finally called them.

I got my dress at Park Avenue Bridal and it was the only thing I regret about my wedding. I have given all of my other vendors 5 stars except them. I felt pressured by the consultant there and she was telling me that my family wasn't crazy about the dress I liked but they all like this other dress. I got so upset and confused that I ultimately bought it and I'm upset about that. The alterations process did not go well either. It was not taken in twice when I asked for it to be and before I even left my house that morning the elastic in the top was starting to stick up through the top and I only had it on for an hour! They also never even called to confirm a fitting or appointment and all of my bridesmaids got calls from the place they purchased their dresses. I know many people have loved this vendor but my experience was not pleasant at all.

Don't judge the outside before you enter - the outside of the place doesn't look the greatest...but the service and quality of dresses are great. Everyone is very nice and welcoming - last minute cancelations they work around. All in all, I LOVED my dress!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. My dress was perfect, alterations were perfect! Ask for Gene or Joan both were wonderful.

My sister, sister-in-law and two friends also purchased their dresses from Park Avenue Bridals and while there were a couple of things that were out of their control, for the most part, they were a really great vendor. They have really, really nice and helpful consultants who immediately got what my sister and I were looking for in our dresses. The cost for the gowns was really affordable and I got a lot of compliments on the dress. They also offer a 10% discount on your bridesmaid dresses if you get your wedding dress there as well, which was great for my girls.

The only complaints I have were nothing major. I got married in January and they were closed for two weeks during the holidays so it made it a little tight for my girls to get fitted and alterations done. It didn't interfere at all but it was just something we had to be aware of. The other thing was one of the seamstress was a little pushy about having two of my girls turn their necklines into sweethearts without consulting me. In the end it wasn't a big deal and it looked fine but I wish they had either offered the change to all of my bridesmaids or to none.

Other than that, they were a really great salon and I would definitely recommend them to other brides!

Park Ave Bridals was WONDEFUL!!!! Of all my vendors this one was the BEST!!! I first went to Park Ave a year ago from a recommendation by my mother in law. Both my sister in laws got their gowns at Park Ave and my mother in law was a huge fan!!!
I met with Patty who within minutes, just seemed to "get me". I had so much fun with her laughing and quoting funny movie lines. She was so attentive to my needs as well as my own "issues" with my not so perfect body. Every dress she picked out for me was beautiful, but "THE ONE" came at the end. The very last dress I tried on... and we both started to cry!! I LOVED MY GOWN!!!! It was within my budget and actually made me look and feel SKINNY!!!! That was soooooooo important to me.
I also bought my bridesmaids gowns from Park Ave. Gary and Jean helped me with tracking down a Jim Helm dress that my girls wanted and gave me a GREAT PRICE!! Jean measured all my girls and even helped figure out what size to get Maria, my 8 mont pregnant bridesmaid. Park Ave was always professional and kind to me and my girls- I had the best experience there and would recommend them to all my friends!!

I enjoyed getting my dress at Park Avenue Bridals, they did a great job and I will recommend them to anyone I know who needs something for Prom, Wedding or any other formal event!

I purchased my dress with Park Avenue after a good review on the knot. The shop itself is decieving, but they had a great selection and prices in dresses.

After 8 months, my dress finally came in and was exactly how I ordered it. The problems I had was that they charged me $400 to add straps to my dress (which is ridiculous for a the amount of fabric used) and I had to return a few times because the alterations weren't right. The seamstress was also a bit rude, but that shouldn't reflect the shop itself.

They were really nice and accomadating. Found my dress, was resonably priced. Didnt like the price of the veil, but because I procrastinated I had to get something and I didnt ask the cost until I signed my credit card statement...

Park Avenue has a nice selection of dresses. For my fittings I had to get the top re-done 3 times before they got it right and they told me it was pressed and ready to go but it waswrinkled so they hadto press it again before I left. The people helping you in the back were very helpful but the people at the counter always seemed annoyed. All my bridesmaids had problems with their fittings, some were too big some were too tight, my one bridesmaid went for her final fitting and they broke the hook on top while trying to zip her in, they fixed it real quick in the back but when she tried it on again the hook came off so she had to go back again and have them attach the hook. Nice selection, but not so impressed with the service.

Found my dress on the very first visit and fell in love. Park Ave had a great variety of different priced gowns to choose from which was so helpful. The seamstress was amazing and my gown fit like a glove.
