    It was a dream experience!

    Summary: Coming here was truly a dream, so the business name is very fitting! Andrew is an angel and made this experience for me so magical and easy. I am very grateful that I came across this business on Google as this was the only place I had to visit to find "the one"!. He was very attentive, kind, and made the process fun and memorable not only for me, but for my family and friends that came with me! He is truly passionate in his work and really has an eye for choosing the perfect dresses. If you are a bride to be, I would HIGHLY recommend coming here. I was working with a budget of $1200 and Andrew made it happen! I feel beyond blessed to have met Andrew. He is so professional and made this so seamless and enjoyable. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!


    Long Version: This was the first and last place I looked for bridal dress shopping! It really felt like all the stars aligned for me. I made an appointment in advance online, and quickly received an email asking to confirm my appointment. I called in to reschedule timing over the phone and was warmly greeted by Andrew who took care of the changes.

    Fast forward to actually going into the store, Andrew checked us in and reviewed my budget, wedding details, and dress style I was looking for. I am getting married this June in Julian, CA so I was looking for something that would work for an outdoor wedding. I am not too picky and was really open to anything he presented me since I trusted him as he had been doing this for 30 years! We really connected since the moment I called and felt like he truly cared about finding just the perfect dress for me that I felt beautiful in. Not one time did I feel like he was trying to "sell" me. He genuinely cared and honored my budget.

    If you are a bride to be, you must pay this place a visit. I would recommend staying open to what Andrew suggests. He takes into account your wedding setting, your body type, and making sure that you feel excited about the dress. He picked out five for me to try in and I LOVED the first and third one I tried on. The other three dresses were nice, but he mainly wanted me to try them on so I could see different styles. I ended up choosing the third dress which was gorgeous! I wish I could post pictures, but I am not married yet and don't want to spoil the surprise! Please save yourself time and at least pay this store a visit.

    I am returning in a few weeks to get measured with the shoes I plan to wear at the wedding. I am sure this will go just as smoothly as finding the dress!

    My daughter wanted to add lace from my wedding dress to a plain strapless dress she bought at David's Bridal. 2000 Dreams Bridal was recommended to us and we could not be more happy with the way the dress turned out. The plain dress went from lovely to a one-of-a-kind couture gown. The workmanship was excellent and fairly priced, too.

    I was drawn to Maggie Sottero's gowns since I started looking at wedding dresses on Pinterest. 2000 Dreams Bridal was right down the street from me and carried the brand. My very first visit was awful and lasted 5 minutes, but after exploring Alfred Angelo (also down the street) and not being blown away by anything there, I wanted to give it another try. I made an appointment and was greeted with Ana Maria. I showed her a few pics of what I pinned, gave her my budget, and off she went! She literally ran around the store grabbing numerous dresses like a pro, hung them up, and asked me to try them on. The first one was the winner. I was so impressed with how well she knew the dresses and how quickly she was able to grab them for me to try - it made me forget about the first visit! The owner/manager was also very accommodating.

    I had found my dress at another bridal shop, but decided to see if I could find better pricing at 2000 Dreams based on 2 recommendations. Right when I walked in, I was greeted by Nancy and given a hug! I loved her immediately. I told her about the dress I had already found but wanted to try on other dresses. She allowed me to try other dresses, but told me that if I already fell in love with a dress, trying on other ones would be useless because I would always dream about the one I loved. After tax, the dress was $20 cheaper than the pre-tax price at the other bridal shop! And included alterations and veil! LOVE LOVE LOVE 2000 Dreams!

    The first time I visited 2000 Dreams Bridal, I brought four people with me and there was enough seating for them. They let you take photos! Andrew is very knowledgeable and was able to recommend certain dresses and colors based on your body type and likes.

    By the second visit, I had changed my mind about the type of dress I wanted. I came in by myself looking for a specific dress that they didn't have, but Ana Maria found a similar dress that ended up being the one! It had everything I wanted, and it came in under my budget of $1200, even with the additional cost of custom sizing.

    I ordered the dress about 10 months before the wedding. It came in about 5 months after I ordered it. They had me come in to try it on, and then had me take it home until it was time for alterations.

    Wendy has been doing alterations for many years and she knows what she's doing. Having said that, if there's something you know you want but Wendy doesn't think it will look good, stand your ground (politely)! I wanted the drop-waist skirt to be brought up to my hip line (I have short legs and drop waist made my bottom half look even shorter), but Wendy was hesitant and told me it wouldn't look good. BUT after politely asking her to try different things, she found a way to satisfy both of us! Besides the hip thing, I had bra cups added, the skirt hemmed, and a bustle added. To show me what the bustle would look like, Wendy just stuck a few pins in and it looked amazing. I think I loved the bustle way more than the train!

    Picked up the dress the day before the wedding. The dress was all ready to go, cleaned and steamed. The rental petticoats had been steamed as well.

    On the day of the wedding, the dress fit perfectly and poofed perfectly. Even though it was a strapless dress, it felt secure the entire night and I never had to pull it up. My maid of honor was able to do the bustle in less than five minutes, and the bustle held up all night. I seriously couldn't be happier.

    During my wedding dress search, I fell in love with a Kitty Chen dress. The problem was, that no store in Florida had this particular dress and after searching, I was able to locate the dress at 2000 Dreams Bridal in San Diego. I ordered the dress without being able to try it on and do not regret it. The dress was perfect, beautiful and unique and Andrew from the store was just a phone call away to assist with questions. He was super helpful and made the process so easy. I highly recommend 2000 Dreams Bridal to other brides.

    I've tried dresses at various places in town, but I ended up coming back to this place because they are simply the best. My heart was initially set on a Casablanca dress that I tried on at another boutique. I showed it to Jazmin and she told me she could order me the dress, but wanted to put another one on me before she placed the order. In my mind, nothing was going to top this dress. But as soon as i put on this Justin Alexander dress, I knew it was the one. There were no mirrors in the dressing room and when I came out and saw myself in the mirror, I just knew it was the dress! Everyone else agreed.

    Everyone at this place knows about the products that they sell. They are also very honest with you and will give you their professional opinion when you are making a selection for your dress. I always refer people to come here for that reason. There is nothing worse than a vendor telling you things you want to hear in order to make a sale. You will not have that experience here because they will tell you the truth! They are very professional and courteous. Make an appointment and try on some dresses! I'm sure you'll find "the dress" here.

    I love love love this place!
    I went in last year with my mom around Mother's Day for wedding dress shopping. My husband was freaked out because we get pho two doors down at Phuong Trang and he didn't want my potential dress to smell like pho (it didn't!). At this point, I had already been in 3 other shops and had tried on at least 20 dresses. I got there earlier than my appointment and they helped me right away. Yessamin asked to see what other dresses I had tried on at other shops, which I initially thought was odd, but it helped her figure out my style. I feel like some of the other places didn't listen to what I wanted (no strapless, no ballgown, interesting back), but Yessamin made sure I was away from the ballgown section and every gown she pulled complimented me so well. She also gave great advice along the way, like how to sit in a mermaid dress --- even though I didn't get one from there, my Chinese tea ceremony dress was a mermaid and that was a huge help! I did end up getting my dress here and it was way cheaper than my mom expected --- always a good thing!
    The next time I went in was for a fitting, and Wendy had taken such good measurements during my initial visit that only the straps needed to be shortened, which was awesome. Again, everyone was really helpful and attentive.
    My last visit was this past month to pick up my dress. Wendy had done a great job with the bustle (it was invisible!) and I left with roach killing advice from the lady who helped me out (can't remember her name but she's from the Bronx).
    Even though I managed to dance the bustle off, I LOVE my dress and I got nothing but compliments on it all night. They also had a good selection of bridesmaids dresses and accessories. I keep telling engaged people to come here because they have a great variety of dresses and everyone working there is amazing.

    Several friends got their dresses here so I felt confident walking in...and highly pleased walking out. Naomi was my sales assistant. She didn't try to sell me something that I could never afford. She has such a great attitude. She listened to my dream ideas and found a STUNNING gown in my budget in line with what I dreamt of that also was very flattering (I have a curvy women's body; I enjoy life and eat great healthy foods). I received many compliments on my dress. The experience here is not like larger chain dress shops with over-priced, poor quality gowns that every shop staff says you look great in (even when it's clear that you do not). The staff at 2000 Dreams know wedding dresses well and have reasonable prices, countless options within every budget and beyond all else, friendly staff. Naomi was so much fun to work with. I appreciated her expertise and her reality checks (cost, design, etc.). Thank you 2000 Dreams!

    2000 Dreams is the best!
    I purchased my dress 10 months before my wedding here at 2000 dreams. Come the final fitting I did not expect that I am having second thoughts about my dress. 6 days before my wedding I had anxiety and wanted to see if I can do something about it or maybe add an embellishment, so I called 2000 Dreams to come in and try on my dress again .They accomodate my request even if I don't have any set appointment that day. Wendy was so helpful! I left the bridal store relieved and happy! My dress is phenominal and gorgeous!

    Cheers!

    I live in Orange County and I bought my wedding dress here because of the great price! The staff at 2000 Dreams is very nice, helpful and accommodating. I originally visited the store to try on a dress but I did not end up buying it that day. About a month later, they called me to tell me that they were having a trunk show for the designer that I wanted. I thought that was very nice of them and it shows that they value the interests of their clients. I came down that weekend and purchased my dress for a great price!
    The dress came a couple of weeks before they had anticipated and they were great at working with me because I was making the drive from Orange County. I had so many compliments on my wedding dress and I am so glad that I purchased it at 2000 Dreams!

    Nancy and the ladies at 2000 dreams do a great job. Not only did I find my dream dress (that even the designer, Pronovias, told me I couldn't get) I also found the perfect dresses for my bridesmaids. They work with each bride to make sure she stays in her budget and include alterations in the purchase of a wedding gown. Great work!

    The ladies at 2000 Dreams Bridal were really helpful in finding a beautiful, high quality wedding dress for me that fit my budget. They included all the alterations and dry cleaning in the price and did a FANTASTIC job at all the detailing, including making sure every single bead was in place. The worked with me patiently to find the right dress and I am very happy that I came to them. I had shopped around at several other bridal shops on the same street, but 2000 Dreams Bridal I believe has the best dresses for the best price. You can probably find a similar looking dress at another store, but it might not be as high quality or it will be much more expensive than 2000 Dreams Bridal.

    I found the most stunning and gorgeous dress at 2000 dreams, the second I put it on I knew it was the one. Noemi and all of the attendants here are so professional and so caring; they pay so much attention to detail and their selection is huge! And the pricing is right, they are not trying to rip you off. As I left with my dress I got such detailed recommendations on how to take care of it and make sure it was perfect the day of. This is THE place to buy wedding dresses, don't be fooled by the modest exterior and look of the place, it is a fantastic shop and the service is very personalized! absolutely the best experience!

    My best friend got her gown here, so I had to come here too. I love the service and one on one consultation. They found the perfect dress for my body type and for my wishes as well. They have so many dresses to choose from and at a reasonable price. I loved them so much we bought the bridesmaid dresses there too. Only one of my bridesmaids lives locally, so they were great at getting everyone else's measurements and getting the dresses back to me so I could mail them out with plenty of time for the girls to get them fit.

    I first learned about 2000 Dreams Bridal when my sister got married seven years ago. They provided great service when we chose to purchase our bridesmaids dresses there back in 2006, so I knew I would return to 2000 Dreams when it came time to buy my own bridal gown. Not only did they give me the best deal for my gown, they also gave my bridesmaids a great deal on their dresses. Their alteration services are great, and Nancy is always willing to work with you to make sure your gown turns out just the way you've pictured it. Some may be turned off when first entering the store because the service can be a bit "harsh", but I promise it is worth it!

    What a winning shop! It is not upscale by any means, so do not go there expecting champagne or the royal treatment. What you will get is excellent service, tons of dresses that will look fabulous on you, and a rockin' seamstress for any tweaks that need to be made. They were quick and wonderful and I highly recommend going here. The dressing rooms are not great, but they are fine. The prices are great and the selection is vast. They only got a 4.9 because they do not let you take photos of any of the dresses unless you buy them. Not sure what this policy is for, but it is silly and kind of annoying. But all in all, I was very pleased with the shop and adored my dress! Try this place out!!

    2000 Dreams is the store you come to to find the perfect dress for you! The staff here is brutally honest, and will tell you when something doesn't look right, but they are also excellent at listening to your style and assessing your body type and helping you find what will look great on you.

    Pros:
    Large selection of a variety of designers at fantastic prices
    Honest staff - they aren't going to tell you something looks good just to sell you a dress
    AMAZING PRICING ON ALTERATIONS! - My dress just required a bit of padding and bustling, and it was included in the price of the dress, something that would have been hundreds someplace else.
    PRICE - I purchased a Maggie Sotterro here, and priced it out at several stores, and 2000 Dreams was several hundred dollars less, and that was before alterations.

    Cons:
    There is no perfect lighting, leather couches, soft music and champagne here. What it lacks in ambiance, it makes up for in selection and value. So come here once you are ready to buy.
    As I said in pros, the staff is brutally honest. To some this may be a turn off. I am someone who appreciates someone telling me when I don't look my best. If you are only looking to be flattered, this probably isn't the place for you.

    Nancy was nothing but helpful, honest and great to work with in purchasing my dress. I saved hundreds of dollars getting my dress and veil here!!!

    I went to 2000 dreams after a quick Google search and seeing & hearing good reviews. The woman that helped me (I'm awful with names!) listened to my ideas and was honest & helpful, making the experience everything I could hope for. They happened to have the dress of my dreams, new on the rack and never hesitated offering me that dress to keep me in my budget. She was very knowledgeable about the dresses she had and helped me visualize what me dress would look like even bustled. An awesome experience!

    Very flexible. Very fast. One of the ladies at the shop seems a bit mean, but I think that's just how she talks. Dont take it personal. Other than that, great place. Highly recommend. Great value and far cheaper for tux rentals than anywhere else. They give you way longer to return stuff than anywhere else so you dont have to rush there the day after your wedding. Great alterations too!

    I was a little hesitant to go here after I read the reviews, but I really did have a great experience here. First piece of advice. Go here already knowing what dress you want. I actually found my dream dress at another boutique, but I knew I could find the dress for less. This was my goal when I went with two friends on a Sunday afternoon. Although it was busy, Nancy spoke with me right away. She's all business, and was open to negotiating dress price. She was able to order the dress in my size, and the dress arrived the week she said it would. I went for 2 fittings. Second piece of advice, bring a friend to the final fitting. I'm glad my friend came because they showed her how to bustle my dress. I picked the dress up the week before the wedding, the 2 other women in the shop were very hesitant for me to try it a final time with my maid of honor there. A little put off by their customer service, but when I tried it on at home, it was perfect, beautiful and ready for wedding day!

    Naomi was a pleasure to work with at 2000 Dreams. I described (vaguely) the type of dress I wanted and within minutes she had 10 dresses that perfectly fit my body and style lined up. She even recommended a simple beading modification to the dress that was the perfect touch. It made the dress go from slightly perfect with a little too much snowflake, to absolutely perfect and 100% elegant. I spent a little more than I wanted to on the dress and veil but the overall service and satisfaction was top notch.

    I had my dress custom made, but if I hadn't I would have bought it at 2000 Dreams Bridal. It's a little family-run shop in the middle of a non-descript strip mall, but the people who work there couldn't be nicer. There's no hard sell or pretentious bridal boutique atmosphere. And the prices were really good.
    I only had a maid of honor and we got her dress here. We just spent the afternoon trying on lots of dresses and had so much fun. No one bugged us to make a decision but someone always checked on us periodically in case we needed help. Bridal boutiques feel unnatural to me but this place felt like home. That's why I recommend them.
