Janene's Bridal To The Rescue

I originally visited Janene's Alameda location to try on dresses, and while I found some real stunners, I couldn't bring myself to pay the price. I ended up going with an off the rack dress from another store who promised the alterations needed were doable. Turns out they weren't and the dress was a disaster....and my wedding was three weeks away! After leaving my fitting in tears, I ran to Janene's off the rack location in SF. I walked in asking for a specific style and they had it and the price was perfect! Since it was off the rack, it of course needed some alterations, but the SF team worked with the Alameda team and I drove there THAT DAY for my first fitting. In less than three weeks, over the course of a couple fittings, they worked a miracle! It honestly brings me to tears just thinking about how they turned an awful situation with another store into my dream wedding dressing in such a short period of time. I am forever grateful to the entire team at Janene's for ALL they did to save my wedding! I cannot recommend them enough!

A perfect dress

Janene's Bridal is the one and only stop I made for my wedding dress; in fact, I picked out the first dress I tried on! Great staff who made the experience a fun visit.

the absolute best

Janene's was the absolute BEST. They were incredible every step of the way. Tiffany was so helpful, a lovely stylist who led me to my dress. Shae did such a good job with my alterations and everything went as planned. Bianca made me feel so special and helped me find the perfect veil for my dress. The assortment is to die for, the alterations were flawless, and each appointment was a great experience where I felt so supported. I wouldn't go anywhere else if I were to do it again. Love Janene's!

Dream dress!

I had such an amazing experience at Janene’s shopping for my wedding dress and getting it altered! I was able to try on a variety of styles I was interested in within my budget, and the whole ambience of the store is romantic and fun and whimsical.

I went shopping with my mom and my sister which felt like the perfect number given the space for our dressing room. All three of us explored the dresses on display to tag which ones we wanted to try, and the Janene’s staff also helped pull a couple options once they got a sense for my style. They were extremely patient while I tried on dresses more than once and did not pressure us when we left without purchasing that day. My mom and I returned a couple days later to revisit a favorite dress and Maesa assisted us, who was AMAZING! He ended up pulling one last dress for me that he thought I would like and it ended up being the winner.

We also used Janene’s alteration group for some pretty straightforward alterations, and everyone on that side of the business was so sweet and helpful and easy to work with. They did an incredible job with the dress and made some great recommendations on shoes, jewelry, veil, and hair accessories as well.

From scheduling to staff interactions to the final product, Janene’s was so easy to work with and gave me exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend!
