Officiant & Day of Coordination

We had Kate officiate our ceremony, for day of coordination, and take down services. Saying Kate was AMAZING is a complete understatement. I can’t count how many people absolutely raved about how sweet and helpful she was. She truly had wedding “spidey senses” and just knew when someone needed something. She was there within seconds asking what she could do to help.

Working with Kate was an absolute dream. I felt supported and comfortable trusting her to set up all wedding decorations the morning of. I was able to relax and enjoy being pampered knowing my wedding was in amazing hands. I even had my venue’s coordinator get Covid the day before and cancel, however I didn’t have an ounce of worry knowing I had Kate for the day.

She wrote a beautiful ceremony and took the time to get to know my husband and I to make it absolutely perfect. I truly can’t say enough how much I enjoyed working with her.
For future brides, I can’t say enough about how having day of coordination is worth it. I especially recommend Kate and Savvy Bride to make your wedding day dreams come true.

Thanks for everything Kate!

The Best Dress for my Best Day!

Savvy Bride was the last stop on my journey to find a wedding dress and I am so glad that I stopped by! The very first dress that the picked out was THE ONE!! It was everything I was looking for and more! The staff was so friendly and attentive, they completely understood my taste. They made everything easier from picking up my dress, picking out a veil, finding a seamstress I love, and letting me try on my dress "one last time" before walking out the door. They even handled my dress cleaning afterwards! Such a wonderful shop to visit, I feel happier every time I walk in. And so affordable too!!

Best bridal store in the area

This store is fantastic, I got two bridesmaid dresses from here. They work 1:1 with you and your bridesmaids when picking out dresses, and both experiences were really great. They have a vast selection of bridesmaid dresses and put 110% into helping with any issues before, during, and after your big day!

Also a huge shoutout to Kate, the store owner, that worked hard on helping us pick out all of our bridesmaid dresses, helping coordinate and officiating my friends' wedding, running in and saving the day with my dress malfunction, and for being so personable and approachable.

Worth Every Penny and More

We used Savvy Bride for a lot of various aspects for our wedding. We were able to do rent/buy suits for all the guys for a great price, and loved the quality of them. We also got my second dress for the reception and loved the quality and movement that it afforded me on the day of. We also used them for all of our paper products, which turned out amazing with great quality and personalization with them as well. We were able to also do the week of planning through Kate and could not have asked for a more positive and amazing experience. She was able to help organize all of the vendors and ensured that the day went off without a hitch. She even helped when someone spilled on my dress and took it to complete preservation and cleaning. She helped my now husband when he was having stomach issues on the day of. She was a total godsend and I couldn't be happier we used her and the company.

Dream Team

Working with the crew at Savvy Bride was such a blessing! I had a lot of trouble finding the dress I felt matched my style, and Nikky went above and beyond to help me create the most perfect custom gown that incorporated everything I wanted!! All my girls got their bridesmaid dresses here as well and they had the perfect amount of dresses to select from. Everyone found something they loved and that fit their body well. We also utilized the Tux Rental as well. The guys looked amazing and all got items that fit well!! It was so nice to have all our wedding attire from one location! The service and friendliness of all the employees was refreshing and so appreciated during the crazy months of planning our wedding - I cannot speak highly enough of the staff here!

I'm so glad I got my dress from Savvy Bride! Kate and her team were so easy to work with and really made me feel special throughout our time together.
The salon is super cute and they have a really great selection of beautiful dresses under $1,000.
I was a little nervous about taking ten ladies to try on dresses, but the private appointment was perfect! I'd definitely recommend setting up the private appointment - everyone had a nice time sipping champagne and having treats while I tried on dresses.
We decided to customize the dress - change the color, add straps and buttons etc. and Kate was quick with the drawing and kept me in the loop around timing. After months of waiting for the dress, it was perfect! Thank you Savvy Bride for a great experience!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
