My dress was the perfect dress and working with them at the shop was so easy! I loved everything about them and would highly recommend!

I initially chose this shop because they carried a Maggie Sotero gown that I wanted to try on. I was able to make an appointment and bring a few guests. Karen helped me at this first appointment. She knows what she is doing! She pulled the dress I came in to try and a few others. After watching my reactions, she pulled another Maggie Sotero gown and told me to try it on. It was the one, and Karen knew it before I even knew it. I did not need to try on any other or look at any other shops. Karen styled it by adding a belt, earrings, and a veil. They all looked perfect with the dress, so I did not need to look for accessories. She even had a suggestion for how to bustle the train.

Mary Beth and Karen were so kind. Every time I came in to the shop for fittings, they remembered me. I was never actually worried about my dress because I knew it was in good hands. My dress had a very long train, which I wore as is for my ceremony. We were able to alter my dress for the reception so the train was actually hidden underneath, maintaining the dress shape. They also gave me recommendations for preserving my beautiful dress.

I highly recommend Martellen’s Bridal.

A beautiful boutique with even more beautiful staff! I could not have picked a more perfect place to find my dress. These ladies were with me from start to finish through the bridal process and my gown was absolutely perfect! Highly recommend Martellen’s Bridal.

After postponing due to COVID, I had some strong doubts about my original wedding dress (which was previously purchased at a different dress shop). It needed lots of alterations, and even then, I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. So I went dress shopping again to find a different dress. After going to nearly every dress shop in West Michigan (some of them twice) and not having any luck, I ended up traveling back to near my hometown in Illinois to dress shop. The consultant that I worked with was so helpful and kind! She listened to what I was envisioning, what I liked, what I didn't like, and she respected my budget by only showing me dresses that were within my range and that would arrive before my July 2022 wedding. I found my dress at Martellens, and they helped me customize it to exactly what I was looking for! They sent me occasional status updates, and also texted me photos when it arrived. They were also able to accommodate my need for dress fitting appointments in the evening, since I drove in from Michigan. I strongly recommend them for purchasing a dress!

I went to 4 bridal shops when shopping for my wedding dress. My budget was $2000 and I came in right at that mark in a Stella York including alterations (I did buy a veil separately). The women at Martellen's were by far the most professional, least pushy, and had a great eye for what would flatter me. Karen spent close to 2 hours going through all the racks and ultimately found the dress that suited me perfectly; I got compliments the entire day of the wedding and even after the fact.
Alterations were done in house and were perfect.
They keep the dress until the week of your wedding, steam it, and bag it for you.

The ladies at Martellen's were so helpful as we shopped for our dresses. We came in with an idea of what we both liked, and we both left with dresses that we LOVED! And they made the whole experience so much fun. We wanted to shop together without seeing each other in the dresses, so they helped us alternate coming out of the dressing rooms. When we had our favorite dresses at the end of our appointment, they even helped us come out blindfolded so that our families could see us both in our dresses next to each other!

I found Martellen's through my cousin & sister, who'd both tried dresses on there, but didn't end up getting their gowns there. I however found my dream dress at Martellen's. Not only that, but about a month before my wedding when I went in for a fitting the dress was tight. I was on the verge of tears when the seamstress said, "It's no problem. There's plenty of room. I can take it out a bit." Sure enough, on my next fitting the dress fit like a glove. I felt like a queen the whole night, and people are still telling me how gorgeous my dress was. Thank you, Martellen's!!!

I love Martellen’s!! My sister found her dream dress there last year so I knew I had to go to find mine. We both worked with Missy who is an amazing consultant and truly cares about finding her brides the perfect dress. Off of only a few details I provided of what I liked, she was able to pick winner after winner and I found my dress!
The best thing about Martellen’s is how supportive and body positive the staff is. I had emailed ahead of time to make sure there would be samples I, a size 12, would be able to put on my body. My experience was awesome and never at any time did I feel uncomfortable with my body. I appreciate the large selection of sample sizes as well as the compassion and enthusiasm of the consultants! I can’t recommend this salon more.

I had the longest day of trying on dresses and was so drained but the workers at Martellen's were so patient with me and did everything they could to find the right dress for me. I didn't even want to put on the last one they pulled but I'm so glad I did because it became my dream dress! they have the best selection and were so flexible and helpful to get me everything I needed. They catered to me so well and helped decompress this stressed out covid bride. Go there first!!

This is the place to go for your one of a kind wedding dress!!! Make an appointment and go try dresses on! It’s fun and they really get to know you and your style! Didn’t have to go anywhere else looking for a dress!
