Spectacular

Everyone, I mean EVERYONE, contributed to an incredibly positive experience at MaeMe! From the moment I walked in and saw my name on the chalk board, I knew I was walking into a special boutique. I was greeted by smiling, personable women who made me feel like the most important client of the day.

I would also like to specifically recognize and applaud Kristie. Her expertise, professionalism, attention to detail, positive attitude, and customer service were second to none, and her bubbly, inviting demeanor contributed to a comfortable environment. She was open for my honest feelings and feedback, and she was able to find the perfect dress for me. I started feeling badly for getting close to the end of my 90 minute window, as I hadn’t found the one, yet. She was calm, composed, and she reassured me that I was not to worry. After I found THE dress, she did not rush me to change; instead, she let me revel in its beauty, celebrate, and soak in the precious moments. I’m eternally grateful for her.

The little special touches, like the personal phone call and congratulations to confirm my appointment, really went a long way for me and made me feel warm and fuzzy. It’s one thing for y’all to say the MaeMe is a boutique where you care about a bride’s whole journey; it’s another to actually exude that mission. Thank you for all of the hard work that is put in to these little things. They are noticed and supremely appreciated. I could not be more pleased with my wedding dress journey, and I truly appreciate Kristie and your staff for being an integral part of it.

MaeMe was incredible!

MaeMe helped me choose the best gown! They made me feel special in every gown that I tried on and even ordered a dress that they didn't have in shop for me to purchase. I loved the family like atmosphere there!

Love this bridal salon!

My consultant Amanda was amazing and pulled exactly the type of dresses that I was looking for based on some ideas I sent prior to my appointment. I’m a plus size bride and The Bridal Boutique by MaeMe has soooooo many choices for plus size brides compared to most other salons and make you feel just as beautiful! I HIGHLY recommend checking them out to find your perfect wedding gown!!

The kindest bridal shop I have visited.

Prior to visiting MaeMe I had stopped by four other bridal shops in town. MaeMe's staff is by far the kindest, most accommodating and most inclusive staff. After having the perfect bridal appointment and finding my dress and veil with Kristie, I returned looking for jewelry. It was a Saturday and of course they were completely booked but still Melissa Ann took her time helping me find pieces. She had me get into the sample of my dress and veil and patiently showed me various of combinations and I ended up leaving with three hair pins and a custom order for a beautiful necklace. MaeMe's staff was pleasant throughout my entire experience and I am so happy I visited their shop!

I am a MaeMe Bride

Marrissa and the entire staff are everything. There is an excellent selection of dresses to choice from and Marrissa found some amazing dresses for me to try on. I found my dress in one visit. They really one me over when my dress came in. My mom had been hospitalized and I was not able to travel back to New Orleans to get my dress (I live in MS). They shipped my dress to me basically for free ($5🙏🏾)! I love them!

Best experience ever!

MaeMe was the first and only bridal boutique I went to but I couldn't imagine anywhere else being any more perfect! Amanda was my stylist and from the second I talked to her on the phone to schedule my appointment, I felt connected and KNEW that's exactly who I wanted my stylist to be. She listened to every detail, was very attentive, funny, so friendly, and treated my family like they were important as well. The entire staff was welcoming. The hardest part was deciding on just ONE dress when all of them that were brought to me were exactly what I was looking for. The selection here is amazing along with the champagne they offer once you say yes to your dress! I can't wait for my dress to arrive just to put it on again!!
Thanks, MaeMe Bridal for helping me say yes to the dress!!

Excellent!!

As this was my 3rd bridal shop of the day, I was not expecting to find anything “better”. However, Amanda was amazing, she helped me find my perfect dress! This store really does have the best selection and staff!! I would definitely recommend!

Wedding dress

Kristie at Maeme helped me sort through my uncertainty when it came to picking a dress. She stayed within my budget and I was able to find a dress I loved and fit my body type. She was so helpful! Would definitely recommend! The dresses they have there were also different from some of the other shops in town!

Above and Beyond Service

I was overcome with such happiness with my experience at MaeMe. I visited twice. My first experience was with Kristie, who i cannot day enough about. She was AMAZING. She totally understood my vision and kept my budget in mind the entire time. She had fun with me and my group also. We were fast friends by the end of it. I visited two other bridal boutiques in the city that day and i have to be honest, Kristie set the bar high. My other two experiences were horrible, i left on the verge of tears from one of them. I called at the end of the day and asked if i could ease come back and try the dress back on that i loves earlier in the day. Kristie was with a bride, but Melissa Ann was more than happy to swoop in and make me feel
Just as special and help me out. I went back in and ended my not so great afternoon with. Smile on my face. I did go back in the next day and i said “Yes to the dress”. The entire team at MaeMe is wonderful. You can tell they love what they do, they listen to their brides and focus on what each individual wants. They are super attentive and have a way of making you feel special. It makes the day special, which is the way it’s aupposed to be. MaeMe is by far the best bridal boutique. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely Perfect Experience

I cannot say enough good things about The Bridal Boutique by MaeMe!!!! I loved my experience from the time I walked the door to walking out with my dream dress in hand! Amanda made me and my bridal party feel special. Amanda listened to me and was really attentive what I wanted. I am a plus size bride and the shop had a plethora of dresses for me to try on and feel great in. I never had to squeeze into too small samples, like I've done at other bridal salons. I felt like a bride both times I visited the shop. I thought I had found my dress on my first visit, but wanted my future mother-in-law to see it. I wasn't pressured to buy. When I returned the next day, Amanda put me in the most beautiful dress I've ever seen! I found my dream dress and I couldn't be more in love with it! Also, the wine is amazing!
