Precious Memories was one of my favorite experiences during the wedding process. They were incredibly kind and helpful when helping me look for my dress. I am a plus size bride and was very disappointed in many bridal shops, which had no selection for someone my size. Precious Memoires on the other hand had many Designer Dresses that fit plus size brides. I never felt so beautiful in my life and the PM staff helped me every step of the way.

Very Very Nice Botique! The Owner and staff were awesome! They always greeted you by your name. This was my one and only stop because i have been to bridal stores in the past for my sister and didnt get the best of service. Precious Memories on the other hand had the nicest and most helpful staff. The gown i purschased was BEAUTIFUL and resonabley priced. I loved Precious Memories so much that i purhcased everything there for my wedding party, of course minus my Husbands tux which we would have definilty rented if it was available then :). Thank you again everyone at Precious Memories for help making my Dreams come true.

My first experience with Precious Memories and Joyce was 17 years ago. I bought a wedding gown there for my wedding, but never got to wear it. A few months ago I brought the gown in to be taken in. Joyce remembered who I was and took very good care of me, however I didn't appreciate the things her seamtress was saying. She took in the arms a little bit too much and asked if I gained weight. I fond that to be very unappropriate, unprofessional, and insulting.

Joyce is a great person and I would do business with her again and I would recommend friends to go there, but I would suggest she gets another seamtress.

Precious Memories is a great find, i think they recently moved but there old shop you would not even know the quality dresses they have in there. I visited them after visiting a few other salons that day that are on the more high end, i did not think i would find my dress there. The other salons were rude to me when i told them my budget ($2500, which i think is fine, i mean it is a DRESS) Precious Memories let me have full rain of the store, when i told them what i was looking for they headed right over and picked out a specific dress for me, i tried it on and did not want to take it off. It is so nice to know that they are able to really listen to you and know the dresses so well they can pick out what you are looking for. The dress was under budget and i did alter it a bit to my taste. Josephine who does all the alterations is amazing as well, she was the cutest and made it everything i dreamt it would be. Love all the girls at Precious Memories and i will be telling all of my engaged friends to go there first!

You don't know what indecisive is until you've meant me!!!! I am normally an indecisive person but since I was under a time constraint and I wanted to find the perfect dress, the characteristic worsened. Despite my inability to make-up my mind the girls at Precious Memories were incredibly patient!!!!!I went into the store about 5 times and would spend hours in the shop trying to make-up my mind. It got to the point where I would go into the store just to be there, yet Marize and the owner were so welcoming and so patient. They always gave me individualized attention and would help me try on the same dress 5 times in one day. It was incredible!! Marize was so attentive, honest and helpful! I went it a few times by myself and she would take pictures for me and I felt she gave me advice as a friend would and not someone who wanted to make the next sale! Even better they had great prices!! I got my dresses $400 cheaper at Precious Memories than at other bridal shops where my dress was also being sold in.

Months after buying my dress, I went to look at veils and the indecisive behavior continued. Despite the fact that I already bought my dress, the girls were just as helpful with my veil. I also appreciated the fact that they sent a really sweet card after I purchased my dress. This kind gesture goes a long way!!! I watched them with other brides and you can tell they strive to give everyone very individualized attention. They did one thing at a time and really were committed to the client that they were working with! What more can you ask for ! I am so happy both myself and my mom got our dresses from Precious Memories. And I super excited that they store is moving into a bigger location!! Keep up the good work!

I got my dress and all of my alterations done at Precious Memories. I had a great experience and LOVED my dress and how it came out. They did a great job during the initial process of trying to find a dress. They understood my style and what I wanted. The prices were great, I enjoyed all of the people there and everything on my dress was perfect. It's not the fanciest or nicest store (they are moving though so that may change) but you wouldn't know it with the service I got.

I do have to say though, they did mess up my mom's dress quite a bit. We got the dress there and a month before the wedding had alterations done. When my mom went to pick it up, they told her it was steamed/pressed and that she didn't need to try it on. If I was my mom I NEVER would have listened to them and I of course would have tried it on. My mom did listen to them though and didn't try it on. Three days before the wedding she finally tried it on, and low and behold the alterations weren't correct and it was way too big still (the sleeves were falling off her shoulders). To Precious Memories credit, my mom was so panicked, she didn't try calling them to fix it since they're over 1.5 hours away from her home, and I'm sure if she did, they would have fixed it no problem. She had a seamstress near her house do it and the seamstress told her she couldn't understand what the inital/original seamstress was thinking/what she did -- it was all wrong. But I would just say moral of the story -- please try on the dresses you take home before you leave the store just to be safe.

Overall, a great store and a great experience. I would recommend them to anyone.

After having a difficult bridesmaid, I went here to give it a try.
They were awesoem for squeezing me in and we found a great dress.
First time there it was really busy and we didn't get quite the individualized attention I would like, but I shrugged it off because we got an amazing dress for a great price.
Went there a second time with another bridesmaid(conflicting schedules) at around noon and it was empty and we got even better service.
overall great selection and very cute shop.
They have a seamstress on location which is awesome!!
going there a third time tomorrow for my maid of honor!

I’m torn about Precious Memories. Ended up with a perfect dress. Consultants were so sweet, and I know they wanted me to be happy with my dress.

But there was a snag.

I tried the dress on when it came in. The consultant said she didn't think it would need alterations just the sash and bustle. Great! Went in for my real fitting, same weight I was the last time, and the seamstress insisted it needed to be taken in, that if I lost any weight the dress would be too big. I thought it looked fine, but believed her. She told me that if I didn't lose, it would be fine.

Went in for my 2nd fitting, a few lbs lighter than the 1st. First thing I noticed was that the panel behind the corset was not reaching the other side. my skin was showing. i was also hanging over in the back. No one mentioned the issue with the panel until I pointed it out, and when I did the seamstress waved her hand and said "It's too small now." Too small? You insisted on taking it in! I said it had to be fixed and they said they would add extra fabric. The seamstress also said I would "just need to watch it," meaning my weight. I'm 5'8 and wear a 6/8. Everyone insisted it looked fine, so I had my BM take a picture of the back, and left. They wanted me to pick it up 4 days before the wedding.

I got home and pulled up the picture of the back from the first time I tried it, and compared it to how it looked now. HORRIFIED. It was like a totally different dress.

I called in a panic about how I wasn't happy with the fit. They were SO nice and assured me that it would be perfect for my wedding. I had to go for another fitting 5 days before my wedding, but they fixed it. I just wish it had never been taken in to begin with! They also never offered to remove the charge.

I'd recommend the shop because of the consultants and the selection, but i'm not sure about the alterations side.

Precious Memories was fantastic. I had never heard of them before I checked out bridal shop reviews when I started the search for my dress. To be honest I was dreading dress shopping a bit, because I'm in my mid thirties and was afraid that I'd have less options for my big day. When I walked in for my appt I met Marize, and she immediately put me at ease. When I explained my price range and that I didn't want a sleeveless dress, she listened intently and found a number of great options for me. She showed me some dresses and explained that even the sleeveless dresses could easily have sleeves added by the seamstress. The result was that I couldn't have been happier with my dress. It was within my budget and felt like it was completely designed for me. Their service was excellent and in the past I felt like sometimes shops can charge you more for the alterations when they know they have your business (my exp being a bridesmaid in 8 weddings) - but that wasn't the case here. The staff was so personable in the store that it felt like I was visiting with friends during my fittings (I know it sounds corny but its true). I couldn't recommend them higher and hope that every bride has as positive of an experience as I did at Precious Memories, as it made my day that much more special.

If every bride has as memorable an experience as I have had with Precious Memories they are well on their way to a happy and stress free wedding experience. The first time I went to Precious Memories I was greeted by my consultant Marize. Marize made me feel right at home. It didn't take long for me to know I had found the place I would purchase my dress. Everyone at Precious Memories was pleasant and professional. They were very understanding and accommodating. I enjoyed visiting the store for my trials. Each visit was like a trip to see long lost friends. I was impressed by the care and attention to detail when preparing my dress for final pick up. Thanks Precious memories for being apart of such a very special and precious experience.

I was nervous at first to go because I truly had no idea what I was looking for. They had me try on several dresses and I felt comfortable and had fun. My mom got to sit back and enjoy the process of me modeling. The staff was not high pressure and when I found the dress I wanted I felt it and knew it! The fitting process was easy and fun and the seamstress was easy to talk to and willing to work with me on what I wanted my dress to look like. I loved my dress and didn't want to take it off all night!

So delightful to work with! My dress was beautiful, and they did a fantastic job with all alterations.

There were a few issues with providing the right recommendations for my bridesmaids' sizes, but other than that minor issue, they were great!

Precious Memories is where we found the dress for the Bride and the dresses for the Maids of Honor.
My first appoinment was with Sharon. She was very helpful. She let my sister and I pick out some dresses that we thought I should try on, and she also picked a couple of dresses also. As it turns out, Sharon is excellent at her job, and "The Dress" was one of Sharon's picks.
During subsequent visits everything went well. All of the staff was very helpful. My sisters ended up using this salon for their Maid of Honor dress picks also.
Alterations are done on site. The dresses all fit perfectly and looked wonderful. All of them were delivered within the time frames that were expected.
I would recommend Precious Memories for dresses for the Bride and the Wedding party.

There are simply not enough good words to say about this perfect bridal shop. From the owner Joyce to all the bridal consultants this place is a hidden gem. My older sister got her gown here 4 years ago and since my family has sent all of our friends and family here. I also found my beautiful gown here at a perfect price. It was my first time trying on dresses and the first and only place I thought of going. The gown selection is skillfully chosen, and the intimate atmosphere makes you feel so special. "The dress" was only the 5th dress I tried on. The consultants are so in tuned with their inventory its like having your very own personal shopper. It was literally so easy, Sharon got a sense for my style within the first dress I put on and single handedly she found the dress of my dreams! No stress, just laughs and happy tears. I will never forget my experience with Joyce, Sharon and all the staff at this amazing shop and fabulous team! THANK YOU :)

A hidden gem! I have to admit I was completely anxious about wedding dress shopping - I had a general idea of what I was looking for and it simply just did not exist. The staff at Precious Memories took that anxiety and washed it away completely. Once they understood my vision, they were able to accommodate me and make my wedding dress better than I could have imagined. Their incredibly talented staff took a couture gown and remade the bottom into an adorable, fashionable and fabulous knee-length, bubble hem, 50's-ish style dress that matched my husbands plaid sport coat perfectly. The seamstress did such an amazing job on it, the dress maker is even considering adding this in as a style option for the gown! And, the cost! Oh my gosh, Precious Memories has the most gorgeous gowns and such phenomenally affordable prices. Both my mom and I were shocked at how excellent a value we got by going with Precious Memories. When considering recommendations for a place to shop for wedding dress, I would say the only place you even need to consider is Precious Memories!

I chose Precious Memories as it had the best value for the quality of the dress around the Boston area, with a wonderful selection. The staff were all very courteous and pleasant to deal with. The dress came as expected and was flawless.
