I love the wedding gown I picked out at Weddings 826. I used the in-house alterations, and Rachel was truly a miracle worker to make the dress fit me absolutely perfectly. Thank you to the entire team who were patient through multiple fittings and gave me great advice leading up to my wedding day. The dress was perfect, and I felt beautiful in it.

Weddings 826 literally saved my wedding. I got my dress in San Diego while I was still living in California and then moved back to Chicago and needed my alterations there. Thank God I found Weddings 826. I was incorrectly sized for my dress when I bought it and lost some weight. The seamstress, Carolyn (who is also amazing), had to take in 16 inches. Not only that, the fabric was beaded!

The dress turned out perfect. She literally deconstructed the dress. I don't know what I would have done without her. I did 6 fittings and she gave such helpful feedback with everything. I am so grateful they were recommended to me. Definitely come here for alterations!

I cannot speak more highly about my experience wedding dress shopping, purchasing, and tailoring with Weddings 826! From the very start they were accommodating, kind, and helped me pick out my dream dress as well as tailor it. Brian is magic and really made my dress feel special and like my own even many months after purchasing. They allowed me to bring guests to all of my appointments and of course Summer the shop dog is the best support while wedding dress shopping. Thank you for all that you do!

Lisa and the rest of the team at Weddings 826 were absolutely incredible to work with. Lisa re-did my mom's wedding gown from 1984, and turned it into the dress of my dreams. She was so careful to consult me during every step of the process, and the result was phenomenal. Pricing was incredibly reasonable too. I couldn't be happier with Weddings 826!

I cannot recommend Weddings 826 enough. Every time I was there, from my initial appointment to choose my dress, to my accessory appointment, to my final fitting, everyone made me feel special and beautiful. They have a wonderful selection of dresses that contain both classic and unique looks in a wide variety of price ranges. Kayla did a great job of listening to what I was looking for while still giving me options that were a little bit different, and I ended up picking a dress that was different (but better!) than I imagined I’d be in. I also loved the convenience of working with Weddings 826 for alterations - my dress fit perfectly and looked beautiful for my day!

I had a wonderful experience at Weddings 826 with Suzi and her team. Michelle helped me find my dress back in February 2020 and it wasn't until August of 2021 that I started my alterations there. We had planned on doing 3 alteration appointments but ended up having to add 2 additional because the top of my dress was not fitting as I had hoped. Rachel was absolutely amazing and did everything to make sure that my dress fit by my wedding date. My last fitting was the week of my wedding and although it was a little nerve-wracking, she did an amazing job making me feel confident that it would be ready and fitting perfectly. Well it did and I received so many compliments about how incredible it was. It fit like a glove. Suzi and her team were helpful, responsive, and very hands-on. They answered all my questions and made sure my dress was steamed and ready. Thank you Suzi and team for all your help throughout the process!

I did not end up buying my gown from Weddings 826, but I had a wonderful experience with Sarah trying on gowns. She made me feel heard and comfortable and the gowns were a great value. Plus, the salon is super cute and the fitting rooms are MASSIVE. You should absolutely make Weddings 826 part of your dress shopping experience.

Wonderful experience! I did not purchase my wedding dress at Wedding 826 but they were able to help me alter my dress only two days before my wedding. After several visits to a different alteration shop (and clearly disappointed with this shop), Wedding 826 very patiently helped me. I would not have expected them to do this especially since I did not purchase my dress from them. However, they could tell that I was disappointed with the fit but they wanted to ensure that I was happy with my day. They went over and above what I would have expected of them. Thank you so much for being flexible and accommodating!!

Both my sister and myself have worked with Weddings 826 at this time. You will not find a better team in the city. Everyone is professional and goes the extra mile to make each bride feel special and like a priority. They work with exceptional tailors that can transform even the most difficult of fabrics and styles so that the dress fits like a glove! Suzi has exceptional attention to detail and years of experience that is invaluable. We cannot recommend Suzi and her team enough!

Weddings 826 saved me! I bought a dress from another store in December for my June wedding. When the dress didn't arrive as scheduled in March, I was left scrambling for a new dress 3 months before my wedding. Weddings 826 helped me find a lovely (off-the-rack) dress and their in-house tailor, Brian, got the alterations done in time. For such a small place, they have a wide selection of dresses, both off-the-rack and order-only. They are extremely professional, organized, friendly, and caring, and I cannot thank them enough for helping me out of a pinch! Thanks Suzi and Brian!!
