Fantastic selection, fantastic value and fantastic service! The Hope Chest was not my first stop in looking for a dress, but it was definitely my last. If any bride is as busy as me, I would recommend making them your first stop, because they have all you need and more. I could not believe the options I had. At other shops, I was lucky to find one dress I liked, but at The Hope Chest I found 5 of them that I absolutely loved! In the end, the shop owner really helped me make my final decision, and it turned out perfect. I also got my bridesmaid & flower girl dresses and tuxes there. They even had the right dress for my mom, which made her look so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you to the staff at The Hope Chest for making my wedding day truly memorable and perfect in every way!

We had almost 18 months to plan our wedding originally, but after I ordered my wedding dress, bridesmaids and tuxedos at The Hope Chest, we found out my mom had cancer and the prognosis wasn't very good, so my husband and I moved our wedding up almost a full year so we could make sure my mom could be there. I was so worried I wasn't going to be able to get everything I had ordered in time for the wedding because by the time we made the date change we only had a couple months. But the staff at The Hope Chest was amazingly understanding and accommodating. They did whatever they had to do to put a rush on the orders for the dresses and everything was here in plenty of time. They were so great because they continually told me not to worry and that they would take care of things, which they did. It really took a lot of stress off my shoulders and I was so happy to be able to have the wedding of my dreams and that my mom was able to be a part of it all. I don't know that any other shop I visited would have put forth the time and energy to making my wedding so important. The Hope Chest made me feel like it was their top priority. I'm so grateful for their help and so happy I didn't choose anyplace else!

Great service!

The Hope Chest girls were great! They had so much to choose from and I just love the peaceful setting of the store. The dressing rooms were a lot bigger than most other shops I visited, so I felt very comfortable; almost right at home. And that's how the staff made me feel...like I was a friend, not just another bride. It was a really wonderful experience all around. My dress was beautiful, and it fit me perfectly with the help of their seamstress. I got so many compliments at our wedding, and everyone wanted to know where we got everything. I gladly told them "at The Hope Chest", and I'll continue spreading the word for years to come. They truly made me feel special and helped make our wedding day and the entire process of planning it unforgettable. Thank you ladies!

They were great to work with! I am glad I didn't go with someone else

I cannot say enough about the ladies at The Hope Chest. Kohleen & Sue were such a dolls and helped me every step of the way--without them I think I would have gone crazy planning my wedding, but they really helped keep me grounded and on task throughout the whole process. If ever I forgot something, they would remember. It was particularly impressive because my wedding was on one of the busiest days of the year and although they were busy with many weddings, they always made me feel like important. Every experience with their store was first rate--not only was everything taken care of on time, but most things even came in or were completed early. I was so relieved to have found them and I knew almost the moment I stepped foot inside their store that I wanted to business with them. I was dreading going wedding gown shopping since my sister had a bad experience with another shop a couple years ago, but The Hope Chest really restored my faith in people, because it realy seemed like they cared about me and my wedding. We were able to plan most of our wedding with them. I got my gown, my bridemaids, our tuxes, my mom's and my mother-in-law's dresses, our invitations, flower bouquets, some rental items for the wedding and reception as well as a lot of the little things like jewelry and shoes and my veil. I wish they offered even more, I would have had them take my photos and bake my cake too! :) But seriously, anyone who is getting married should check them out. You'll be happy you did!

They made planning our wedding so easy because they had so much to offer at one place. They had the best selection of dresses of anywhere I looked. I got a great deal on my wedding gown, and I got so many compliments on it at the wedding. Everyone wanted to know where I got it, and I told everyone about this cute little shop in Ham Lake. The owner and her daughter were awesome to work with, and are very knowledgeable. I would recommend this shop to anyone getting married. We got our tuxes and bridesmaid dresses there too, and everyone looked beautiful on our wedding day! Thanks so much for making our day unforgettable!

I would definitely recommend The Hope Chest. I went to them for both my wedding Dress and my bridesmaid dresses. They had a much more unique selection of dresses than a lot of places and were reasonably priced

These ladies were great to work with! I loved my dress and they even put up with me stopping in to try it on several times before buying it! And it was on clearance! Excellent service, though the owner of the shop was a little pushy at times.

I would highly recommend The Hope Chest. The service was great, and since it is a small boutique, the staff gets to know you quite well and is very accommodating. Since my reception was less than a mile away, and they were still at the store, they even came to help me bustle my dress when we couldn't get the ribbons tied quite right. Their selection of gowns was great and I was very pleased with the quality of all of the dresses.
