Wonderful experience

Gabriella's had my dream dress, and no where else I looked could even come close to what I wanted. In addition, the salon experience was relaxed and fun. I had a few issues and Derek fixed them quickly and easily.

Wonderful bridal salon!

Working with everyone at Gabriella was a dream. From my first visit, to finding my dress, to alterations, they were fantastic from start to finish. In fact, I would have never picked out the dress I ended up buying if Ashley hadn’t suggested it to me and I absolutely loved it so thank you Ashley! The salon itself is super chic, everyone who works there is patient and kind, and their dress selection is the best of the best - they have a range of options that are all stunning. Their starting price is pretty reasonable for NYC. They delivered my dress for alterations so I wouldn’t have to which was really helpful and I absolutely loved the woman who did my alterations (works with Gabriella). Definitely a must visit when dress shopping!

The BEST part of wedding planning!

The staff at Gabriella Bridal made the experience special for me. KiKi worked on alterations. She was incredible. This was by far the BEST experience of wedding planning!

Gabriella's made dress shopping comfortable and fun!

I had such a lovely experience at Gabriella’s! This was my first stop trying on dresses so I had no idea what to expect, but they took what could have been a stressful and overwhelming experience and made it fun, comfortable, and productive. We were greeted by name when we arrived, led to our private room, and quickly introduced to our fantastic stylist Lexi. She asked about my wedding location, preferences, and really listened to me when picking some first dresses to try on (but also adding some surprises to make sure we tried everything). Gabriella’s is an adorable and welcoming boutique environment with a gorgeous, curated selection. I would recommend to anyone in NY or even visiting!

Beautiful bridal shop and great, personalized service!

Gabriella Bridal Salon is a beautiful little shop right in SoHo. Andie, my dress consultant, was nothing but amazing. This shop was a little on the higher end of the budget for me, but Andie was still able to pull beautiful dresses for me to try. One in particular was the absolute opposite of the style I had described to her, but she encouraged me to try it just to see. I ended up buying the dress! All because of her expertise about what would fit me well and look flattering. I am so happy and pleasantly surprised with the dress I ended up with. We came back a couple days later to make the "final" decision and get fitted, and Andie treated my friends and family that joined to a champagne toast. The shop also has beautiful accessories and veils to choose from. I highly recommend visiting this shop and Andie if you are able to request her!

Great Customer Service, Gorgeous Dresses!

Working with the team at Gabriellas was a dream. They have an amazing selection of designer dresses and helped me tailor my Jenny Packham specifically to my taste.

Fittings were a breeze! I was always out in under 30 minutes and they made my vision of tightening bell sleeves and removing some of the larger sequins come to life!

It was so nice to go to a salon where they remembered my name and I was constantly working with the same associates. I think I was almost always the only one in the salon. It was heavenly.

Gabriella was awesome and I loved finding my dress there. After a long day of trying on old and tattered dresses with disinterested sales people at Lovely Bride and Kleinfelds, I was so happy to walk into Gabriella. They had clean gowns, with unique and elegant dresses that I didn’t see at other places. And our helper (who’s name I forget because it was so long ago) was SO sweet, really taking time to get to know me and hear what I was looking for. I found an awesome Kelly Faetenini dress that was perfect for me, and my entire alterations process was clear and easy. I was training for an endurance race right after my wedding so my body changed a lot, even fitting to fitting, and Alzira in alterations was so nice and did whatever she had to in order to make my dress fit tight and well. Everyone always goes to Lovely Bride for chill, elegant (non cupcake) dresses, but Gabriella was 1000% better in dress selection and service. I was a little turned off by the website because it looked a little too “bridal” for me, but the store is charming and modern and very easy going. Must add this if you like Lovely bride, Ramona Keveza, Limor Rosen, etc!

I had an AMAZING experience with Briana, she was super helpful and attentive to my needs. I love the intimacy of the salon and the selection is superb (and that natural light is everything). I will be honest and say that I ultimately did not end up with this salon because I heard from a friend that the tailor and fitting situation was a disaster.

If I could give my experience at Gabriella New York more than 5 stars I would! Nicole and Annie were extremely professional, warm, and worked with me to help me find my dream wedding dress! They treated my family and me like old friends making us all feel very comfortable, laughing and crying together . I never felt rushed (I stayed for 3 hours!) and they were never pushy. The selection of gowns is amazing— chic, sophisticated, the best quality, fabulous designers, and of course all gorgeous! The salon itself is very clean, airy, and welcoming. I could Not have asked for a better experience to find my perfect wedding dress! Thank you Nicole and Annie for an unforgettable day!
