How did I forget to write a review for Birnbaum & Bullock? I was initially very nervous about trying dresses at any of the boutique shops because I figured they would be snooty and turn up their noses if you gave any budget below $5k. That was not the case at all at Birnbaum & Bullock. I was made to feel very welcome by my attendant as well as the rest of the staff. I even got to meet Robert Bullock himself (I purchased a Robert Bullock dress so it was very special). Lovely dresses with great workmanship at reasonable prices compared to the rest of the industry. Nice and comfortable salon. I definitely say check it out.

Absolutely amazing experience at Birnbaum & Bullock! Everything went so smoothly - from trying on to alterations to the final pick up. My dress fit perfectly after the first round of alterations!

Though I didn't end up getting my dress there, I wish that I had because this was hands-down the best experience I had at any bridal boutique (and I've been to far too many this year!) There was a glitch in the online appointment service I used so they weren't expecting me when I came, but Anthony worked with me anyway and couldn't have been kinder or more patient. He has a great eye and pulled out one beautiful sample gown for me after the other (I preferred samples because you can take them home right away instead of having to wait for an order). Everything he suggested was exactly my taste AND worked with my budget. He also had very helpful tips on what would be most flattering. The dress selection overall was just lovely. Each one had a special "something" about it - it's definitely the place for someone who wants a dress that's beautiful, but also unique/distinctive. AND they also allow pictures - Anthony even took them for me!

When I was there they were offering a promotion - if you bought a new dress from them, you got an account credit that you could apply to a veil, accessories, etc.

Thank you to Steve Birnbaum and the team at Birnbaum & Bullock for my gorgeous wedding dress that fit me like a glove. I received so many compliments on my dress and have been told to be sure that I preserve it so my sister can wear it. Their dresses are not inexpensive, but you are definitely can see the quality in their dresses and in the tailoring which is done by the designer himself.

I had an amazing experience with Birnbaum & Bullock from the moment I walked in the door until over a year later on my wedding day. My mom and sister came to visit me in NYC for a whirlwind weekend of wedding dress shopping and after a couple less than pleasant experiences at other establishments Birnbaum & Bullock was a much needed breath of fresh air. Calm, complimentary, low pressure and down-to-earth. We were greeted at the door by Robert Bullock and worked with consultant Mandy - who was wonderful. We were allowed to look through the dresses ourselves and all were clearly labeled with prices. Together we picked a selection of dresses to try on - she took into account my vision and contributed a few suggestions of her own as well. I ultimately ended up falling in love with one of her suggestions, a couture gown from Steven Birnbaum's collection, Paige.

I had a seamless fitting experience as well. I worked directly with Steven Birnbaum, my measurements were taken perfectly and at each of my six fittings the dress fit beautifully with just small tweaks needed. At my final fitting he carefully explained the bustle to one of my bridesmaids. Steven was wonderful to work with very kind, patient and understanding in addition to being so talented. One major stress factor for me was that the dress had to be shipped to Minneapolis but Steven and the staff were very reassuring, handling the shipping and providing me tracking information. The dress made it to Minneapolis without incident and just needed a simple professional steam to remove the few creases that resulted from being in a box.

On my wedding day the dress fit perfectly and was everything hoped for. I received so many compliments about how the dress was truly me and I felt absolutely beautiful. A million thanks to Steven Birnbaum and the crew at Birnbaum & Bullock for making the whole wedding dress process so calm and wonderful. I would highly recommend them to any bride.

I had an amazing experience with B&B. I added them to my list of places to shop at last-minute, and am glad I did — it's where I found my dress! I loved how quiet and personal the showroom felt (not that I didn't love the Kleinfeld experience, too, but this was a breath of calm and fresh air) and the fact that one of the designers was always around for a fitting was a great comfort.

As for the dress itself, I absolutely loved it; it was modern, traditional and unlike any dress I've seen. The fitting process was a breeze compared to the horror stories I've heard from friends, and I felt their prices were fair. I can't recommend this place enough — it's a gem, and so are the designers!

I had a wonderful experience working with the team at Birnbaum and Bullock. I went to a sample sale on a whim after a friend recommended them and surprisingly found my perfect dress! I later bought my veil there which went perfectly with my dress. The alteration process was so easy. The designers are so easy to work with and they want you to feel as beautiful as possible. I felt like a princess on my wedding day and am so glad I bought my dress here.

I went to a few places before coming to B&B. I found a dress I liked at another shop, but wanted to exhaust the marketplace of wedding dresses before making a final decision. I'm so glad that I did because once I got to B&B I was blown away by their selection, craftsmanship and customer service. I fell in love with a few gowns and went back several times to try them on. They had so many elegant, beautiful gowns to choose from it was hard to select just one! They were so patient with me on every visit, not making me feel like a number or rushing me out when the appointment was over. I also really appreciated and enjoyed that the designers themselves are present and on the sales floor for appointments. So you get personal attention from them for suggestions and they are involved in all alteration appointments. I loved the gown I choose and I'm happy I dealt with B&B for that experience because they made it wonderful!

This was the best experience with any vendor of my wedding. I was able to find my dress (first dress I tried on) at my first appointment. Everyone from Darcy to Robert were incredibly easy and wonderful to work with from start to finish. They were able to help me with decided what looked best for my body type, help me find a look that I adored, and adjust the dress to my style. I wish I could wear this dress again and again. I also purchased my veil from them after much consideration (secondary to the price). This small intimate setting really made feel like a bride and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
