I shared with GiGi in an email that there are many roads to a beautiful dress and I’m happy that mine path led me to her. It's a beautiful shop that offers great customer service, care and attention to detail. I can't be more pleased with my last minute but beautiful and perfectly matched wedding gown. 5 stars from me and if you don't know where to turn head to the National Harbor. There's a warm family vibe and a sweet smile to meet you at the door.I

I had a great experience finding my dress and working with Prandie at Jonlei Atelier! I must admit that it was never my intention to purchase a dress that exceeded my budget of $1,200 (i thought that was more than enough) but when I saw myself in my dress...wow! And the funny part is that before I even tried it on, Prandie said "This is the dress I picked out for you" based on what I told her I wanted. I took one look at it and determined that it would take a miracle for that "ok" looking dress to be "it" but guess what?! IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING DRESS and was far better than I could've imagined. I would tell any bride-to-be to never judge a dress by how it hangs on the hanger lol because it can take on a totally different look and character when it hugs your body. Speaking of hugging the body, Ms.Mary made alterations on my dress and she was not satisfied until it fit perfectly. No matter how many fittings it took, she did what was necessary for me to be happy! I'm so happy I went with this bridal shop because they also helped me select the most amazing accessories that I truly didn't appreciate until the wedding day and the day I received my wedding photos. The veil, earrings, bracelet, necklace and hair piece were in sync and accented my dress perfectly!!!!! Even though I didn't intend to spend as much as I did, it was totally worth it and I would do it again.

I love these ladies and gentleman! It's a lovely shop with sought-after designers. The owner and stylists are very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They're helpful to find dresses that meet your vision.

It's definitely worth adding to your wedding dress shopping trips in the D.C. area. Their tailor for alterations is pricey but she is worth EVERY penny.

Ask about their trunk show schedule. I actually found my dress while Paula Varsalona of NY was there showcasing her veils. One of her veils made the dress I tried on with her piece "the one" and I ended up ordering a custom veil as well.

I love their shop!

I'm totally lost for words this has been the best experience in my life. I'm getting married out of state and was going to have all of my girls order dresses at local bridal stores. After my 1st experience ( I obtain everything Dress, Vail, Earrings, Necklace, Shoes and unique Flowers to walk down the aisle with) I decided I wanted all of 11 of my girls to do the same and experience the royal treatment. Mrs. GiGi and her team are the best!! They are never to busy to answer your questions and assist in reducing your stress level. We love you dearly and will always remember the level of service you have provided.
Thank you for being a part of this special moment in my life.

Best,

GiGi and her staff were wonderful! GiGi helped me find my dream dress and we exchanged over 20 emails before even meeting. But it didn't stop there. They always made sure I was comfortable during fittings and were so sweet.

The ladies at JonLei were absolutely amazing. I had bad experiences thus far with staff at other bridal shops. Prandie was amazing and knew just what I was looking for as soon as I said it. I said yes to the 2nd dress I tried on and couldn't be happier!!! Will be getting the remaining bridal party attire from this location just off the strength of the service alone.

Let me first start by saying here is where I found THE MOST beautiful dress I am ever going to wear. The service was awesome and I loved how GiGi knew what dress was perfect for me before I did. I highly recommend this place for finding the perfect dress. My dress not only took my breath away but it didn't put me in the hole either.

Absolutely amazing! Service was great. My experience was the best at this boutique compared to the other bad experiences I had. My dress was gorgeous. I have no complaints whatsoever.

You will be in good hands if you put your faith in the House of JonLei Atelier. I am very happy that I was able to find the gown I wanted at this shop. As a matter of fact, they provided all the attire for my wedding. They have a nice selection of tuxedo rentals and their bridesmaid dresses are prettier than other salons I visited. After a while, bridesmaid dresses can all start to look the same, but the dresses at the House of JonLei are unique. Even if they don't have the bridesmaid dress you are interested in, if it is by a vendor they carry, they will order a sample for you to try on.

I can't say enough good things about the staff. GiGi, Bridget, and Vino go out of their way to provide impeccable service. No request goes unanswered and you will feel like you are their most important customer - because you are. Everyone in this charming shop takes the utmost pride in your care and your satisfaction. I wanted to make a change to my gown which would require ordering additional lace from the designer, and even though it was not available to be purchased separately, GiGi did not rest until she made that happen! It totally changed the look of my gown and it was stunning! Connie, the seamstress assigned to do my alterations, should get a lot of the credit for that. She did such an excellent job, it looked like it was designed that way from the very beginning, and the fit was perfection.

GiGi, Bridget, and Vino - I would like to say that you are all very warm, caring, and lovely people, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in your shop. My only regret is that the fittings are over.

GiGi and her crew are perfect! My dress was perfect! The experience was perfect! I am so happy I found this shop after the original shop I bought my dress at went out of business and left me dressless. GiGi calmed me down and went straight to work trying to find me another dress. The whole crew's positive and upbeat attitudes made the dark cloud over me disappear. They also helped me pick out my bridesmaids dresses and a last minute dress for my grandmother. I purchased my flower girl dress elsewhere but they did the alterations and her dress came out as perfect as the other dresses purchased there. They make you feel like a part of the family by the end of the experience. If I had had the room I would've invited them all to our wedding!
