Impeccable from start to finish

I did not understand fully what the wedding dress shopping experience should be like until I arrived with my group at The One. The word that comes to mind first is impeccable: the quality and quantity of the gowns available, the service from Peggie and her team, the environment of the shop, everything was a carefully curated experience designed with us in mind.

I brought a couple of my bridal party and MoG with me, and all of us were put at ease from the start. Covid regulations were clearly being followed, but we never felt unnecessarily restricted. My ladies felt comfortable lounging while I dressed and sharing their thoughts while we went through the appointment. I felt that my wishes were kept in mind and that the process to narrow down dresses was extremely collaborative. The team at The One is clearly knowledgeable and experienced, but good-natured and conscientious of wants and needs, budget and venue.

If I had visited The One first, it would have been my only stop. I cannot say enough about how much my group and I enjoyed our experience. I have no doubts that I did find "The One": both the shop, and the dress :D

The BEST!! Highly recommend

I had the most wonderful experience at The One Bridal! Peggie was AMAZING, so sweet, and has a great eye for dresses that fit your style/vision. She was also able to work with my budget. I loved how intimate and relaxed it was. You get the whole place to yourself and whoever is coming along with you. You feel like the star of the moment (as you should!) throughout your time there. They have many beautiful dresses to try on and I would highly recommend this place. They’re also great with communicating and are patient and flexible. This was the first place I looked at and it didn’t take long before I said “yes to the dress!” I’ll remember that moment forever and I’m glad The One Bridal could be a part of it. So so happy with my experience here.

Peggie is patient, attentive and thoughtful

From the initial booking to the moment I said yes to the dress, Peggie delivered exceptional service every step of the way. Her prompt responsiveness via email and text during the booking process was invaluable, especially given my tight timeline as a bride. Peggie expertly navigated the timing for ordering my dream dress, alleviating a significant source of stress during the process.

The experience at her beautiful boutique salon was nothing short of wonderful for my bridal party and me. Peggie has a knack for making each moment special. She attentively listened to my vision and utilized her expertise to select the perfect dresses for me to try on. Throughout the fittings, Peggie ensured I had a moment to gather my thoughts before stepping out to reveal each gown to my loved ones.

Peggie's approach was balanced and thoughtful, knowing precisely when to offer input, ask insightful questions, and allow me the space to contemplate. Despite my indecision, Peggie remained flexible and patient across multiple appointments, making the entire journey seamless. While I explored several boutiques, Peggie's unparalleled service truly stood out.

I am immensely grateful for her passion and dedication, which shone through and ultimately instilled confidence in my decision when I (finally) said yes to the dress. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend every bride to visit The One Bridal Salon. Thank you, Peggie! :)
