Simple yet exciting, and stress free!

I will never forget my experience here! The staff was incredibly helpful - Erin was amazing! She got up and immediately helped me when I walked in. She did not pressure me to make a decision and was so wise in working with what I was looking for. She knows the collection very well and was able to pick out dresses that kept building on from the last ones tried. In the end, I said yes to the perfect dress and was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it felt on me. Not only that, but the price points are perfect if you want quality dresses on a budget. If you want quality and budget friendly dresses, along with a pleasant and pressure free shopping experience, go here!!!!

Go here not the full price store - nj brides

I purchased my wedding dress from Castle Couture in NJ for my December 2023 wedding. And although I LOVED my dress and the alterations were flawless for the day of, I do regret not going to their sister store, Castle Couture Off the Runway, also in NJ because the prices at the regular store are just outrages. My little sister got married 6 months after I did and she found her dream dress at Castle Couture Off the Runway for 1/8th of the price!!! I have to make myself forget about how much money we spent on my dress because I truly believe if I went to their Off the Runway store I would have found the same exact dress for a fraction of the price! I recommend all NJ Brides start their wedding dress shopping at Castle Couture Off the Runway!!!

Such a dream experience for my dream dress!

Castle Couture: Off The Runway absolutely blew me away!

Since I had read reviews of others finding some torn dresses or not enough dresses in their size, I decided to start my dress shopping early. Let me tell you, the dresses were in such great shape and there were SO many sizes! They had so many styles in sizes 0 to about 28!
As a curvy bride I personally loved that I had so many options in styles that I absolutely loved. I worked with Flo, who made the experience an absolute dream. They had a select amount of veils and hair accessories to try for style with the dresses. Though I did not purchase either, I loved the experience. I expected to need a few trips to find my dream dress, but I found it in my first go!

When I found my dress they had a sign, a photo-op wall, and bells to celebrate!

I highly recommend checking out this boutique and going back a few months later to see new stock if you do not find your dream dress in the first go. They made the experience a dream, Flo was the best, and I left the boutique with a nearly perfect fitting dress of my dreams all for $799 (+ the small garment bag fee)!

Thank you to Flo and the rest of Castle Couture: Off The Runway!

Awesome experience

I had never been dress shopping before, but I knew what I didn’t want: strapless, ball gown, or poofy. I told this to Floriana, and she picked out a beautiful dress, while I picked a few others with my mom and sister. I tried on 7 dresses (we were able to stay as long as we needed!), but the first dress I tried on was the one Floriana picked for me, and it was the one! Patient, kind, and not pushy at all, she was very helpful throughout the shopping process. On each dress, she pointed out areas that would need to be altered if I selected that specific dress. She also helped me to determine a veil length!

Though I did not initially want a fitted dress, she pulled a couple of fitted options, as well as lace options, so I could determine the difference. This really helped me to “seal the deal!”

It was very relaxing and not stressful. I would recommend Castle Couture Off the Runway to anyone!

Best experience ever!

I got engaged in March and our wedding is in a few months. I went dress shopping for the first time this week and was in tears from two bad experiences. I saw Castle Couture - Off the Runway mentioned in a bridal group and called them up! They let me walk right in and Barbara helped me out. Let me tell you, she made all the difference! She suggested a dress and instantly I knew it was the one. It was so far from what I thought I wanted, but it was PERFECT. Less than an hour later I walked out with my dress! She was so professional and was honest about any imperfections with the dresses and what could or could not be fixed. She was also so sweet and professional and made the whole experience low stress (so different than my other experiences!) I am so glad I went - I am over the moon!

The Best Shopping Experience

I never thought I would have that “bridal moment”…and then I went to Castle Couture Off The Runway.

I purchased a dress from a different salon that I was so upset with. I was so dissatisfied that I went shopping 6 more times in search of “the one”. I had completely given up on finding a dress that brought happy tears to my eyes and I could envision celebrating my wedding in. AND THEN I MET PAT.

Call it lucky number 7, I walked into Castle Couture Off The Runway and was fortunate enough to meet Patricia Lee. Pat listened to my story, empathized with my situation, and helped me find THE ONE. In no other experience was I afforded the kindness and respect Pat showed me. She didn’t put me in dresses just to make a sale. She heard what I was looking for, took time to understand the style I wanted, and relentlessly search her inventory to find something I would feel perfect in. And she hit the nail on the head! I cried more happy tears than I ever imagined! In one appointment, Pat made me feel like her own daughter and I could not be more grateful for meeting her.

I wholeheartedly recommend Castle Couture Off The Runway and can honestly say you can shop with confidence in their staff and selection.

Friendly Staff helped find my Dream Dress!

Cinderella Bridals was only my second shop to explore, and I have no regrets! The entire staff was professional, friendly, and accommodating - they made the whole dress fitting experience extremely comfortable and personable. You're surrounded by so many beautiful and unique dresses in a very intimate, boutique setting. The seamstress did a fantastic job, and I didn't want to take my dress off by the end of the night. So many compliments!

Incredibly helpful and mimosas are a plus :)

This was actually my first place I went for my wedding gown, I had no idea what style would work or how any of this process worked and they were BEYOND helpful in assisting me. They made me feel so comfortable and after trying a few dresses on she said “I know exactly what dress is going to win your heart.” She was right. I went to MULTIPLE other places but went back and got my wedding gown. Couldn’t recommend more! Plus they served us mimosas which definitely was a huge plus (and needed).

Friendly, warm, and welcoming

After trying on over 100 dresses and going to 10 different bridal salons, I couldn’t have been more happy with Cinderella Bridals! The staff is warm and welcoming. Syd was amazing and helped me find my dream dress. I never felt pressured into anything. They just wanted me to be comfortable and find a dress I loved! Their selection is huge and they let you look through dresses yourself if you want. They also do alterations on site. It was an amazing experience!
