    Officiant & Day of Coordination

    We had Kate officiate our ceremony, for day of coordination, and take down services. Saying Kate was AMAZING is a complete understatement. I can’t count how many people absolutely raved about how sweet and helpful she was. She truly had wedding “spidey senses” and just knew when someone needed something. She was there within seconds asking what she could do to help.

    Working with Kate was an absolute dream. I felt supported and comfortable trusting her to set up all wedding decorations the morning of. I was able to relax and enjoy being pampered knowing my wedding was in amazing hands. I even had my venue’s coordinator get Covid the day before and cancel, however I didn’t have an ounce of worry knowing I had Kate for the day.

    She wrote a beautiful ceremony and took the time to get to know my husband and I to make it absolutely perfect. I truly can’t say enough how much I enjoyed working with her.
    For future brides, I can’t say enough about how having day of coordination is worth it. I especially recommend Kate and Savvy Bride to make your wedding day dreams come true.

    Thanks for everything Kate!

    Best bridal store in the area

    This store is fantastic, I got two bridesmaid dresses from here. They work 1:1 with you and your bridesmaids when picking out dresses, and both experiences were really great. They have a vast selection of bridesmaid dresses and put 110% into helping with any issues before, during, and after your big day!

    Also a huge shoutout to Kate, the store owner, that worked hard on helping us pick out all of our bridesmaid dresses, helping coordinate and officiating my friends' wedding, running in and saving the day with my dress malfunction, and for being so personable and approachable.

    The Best Dress for my Best Day!

    Savvy Bride was the last stop on my journey to find a wedding dress and I am so glad that I stopped by! The very first dress that the picked out was THE ONE!! It was everything I was looking for and more! The staff was so friendly and attentive, they completely understood my taste. They made everything easier from picking up my dress, picking out a veil, finding a seamstress I love, and letting me try on my dress "one last time" before walking out the door. They even handled my dress cleaning afterwards! Such a wonderful shop to visit, I feel happier every time I walk in. And so affordable too!!

    Amazing experience

    We specifically worked with Nikky for wedding planning- she was absolutely amazing. I am not great at wedding stuff and Nikky took away any stress or anxiety that I had. & She made sure that everyone will be dressed fabulously! Nikky really goes above and beyond in everything that she does! I totally recommend Savy bride for your wedding needs

    Worth Every Penny and More

    We used Savvy Bride for a lot of various aspects for our wedding. We were able to do rent/buy suits for all the guys for a great price, and loved the quality of them. We also got my second dress for the reception and loved the quality and movement that it afforded me on the day of. We also used them for all of our paper products, which turned out amazing with great quality and personalization with them as well. We were able to also do the week of planning through Kate and could not have asked for a more positive and amazing experience. She was able to help organize all of the vendors and ensured that the day went off without a hitch. She even helped when someone spilled on my dress and took it to complete preservation and cleaning. She helped my now husband when he was having stomach issues on the day of. She was a total godsend and I couldn't be happier we used her and the company.

    Dream Team

    Working with the crew at Savvy Bride was such a blessing! I had a lot of trouble finding the dress I felt matched my style, and Nikky went above and beyond to help me create the most perfect custom gown that incorporated everything I wanted!! All my girls got their bridesmaid dresses here as well and they had the perfect amount of dresses to select from. Everyone found something they loved and that fit their body well. We also utilized the Tux Rental as well. The guys looked amazing and all got items that fit well!! It was so nice to have all our wedding attire from one location! The service and friendliness of all the employees was refreshing and so appreciated during the crazy months of planning our wedding - I cannot speak highly enough of the staff here!

    I had a great experience with SAVVY Bride! Lisa was a lot of fun to work with and did a great job finding dresses within my style and budget! SAVVY lets you customize your grown which I did, and the gowns are made to fit your height! You can tell the staff clearly love what they do!! Thank you to the SAVVY Bride team!!

    I'm so glad I got my dress from Savvy Bride! Kate and her team were so easy to work with and really made me feel special throughout our time together.
    The salon is super cute and they have a really great selection of beautiful dresses under $1,000.
    I was a little nervous about taking ten ladies to try on dresses, but the private appointment was perfect! I'd definitely recommend setting up the private appointment - everyone had a nice time sipping champagne and having treats while I tried on dresses.
    We decided to customize the dress - change the color, add straps and buttons etc. and Kate was quick with the drawing and kept me in the loop around timing. After months of waiting for the dress, it was perfect! Thank you Savvy Bride for a great experience!

    We found my dress at Savvy and we also ordered tuxes for my husband and his groomsmen. The ladies at Savvy are extremely welcoming and laid back which was exactly what I needed on the dress shopping day. I had already had a meltdown over not finding "the one" and being on the border of forcing the sample sizes to fit. They made the experience enjoyable and I quickly found the right dress. They were helpful to discuss alterations as I fell in love with a Casablanca dress. Everything was easy and the team at Savvy was always responsive to emails or any questions I had. They are the ladies that will laugh and cry with you because they truly want your day to be perfect.

    Savvy Bride deserves a huge shoutout-- They were nice enough to bring bridal gowns to my moms memory care home so that she could watch me try on dresses without the stress and burden for her that comes with her leaving her home. I would highly recommend Savvy Bride-Kate and Lisa and great! The gowns are priced great and they have a wide variety of styles.

    Overall I'm satisfied with my dress, the consultant was very sweet and helped me find the right dress! I would recommend this boutique and remember to keep an open mind because it is an "off the rack" shop.

    I had looked at 4-5 dress shops in one day. I found one dress at another store that I liked, but it was a "buy off the rack" and it was too small for me. I was starting to lose hope after going to all the other stores and not finding anything I liked in my budget of 1k or less. Savvy Bride was the last place on my list. I show the girl helping me (I think her name was Katie?) pictures of what type of dress I was looking for, which was sort of a bohemian sexier type of dress. She immediately said she thought she knew a dress I would love, and pulled it out. I liked the way it looked before trying it on, and immediately when I tried it on, I fell in love! I tried on several other dresses at that store, and did find 2-3 others that I liked, but none compared to the first one she picked out for me. The extra bonus was that it was a "buy off the rack" dress, and cheaper because of that! I was so happy that I found my dress, and everyone was so helpful at that store. I got so many compliments on it (it's Casablanca 1975). Thanks Savvy Bride!

    I would definitely recommend this bridal store! We ordered my girls bridesmaid dresses there and my experience was nothing short of amazing! They helped me find exactly what I wanted, color, price range and style. The girls worked with me and understood that my bridesmaids are not in the area so everyone will be calling in with their sizes to order. Savvy Bride is very flexible, has many options and are wonderful people to work with. Definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for mother of the bride dresses, wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses. They also have many accessories to chose from!

    A Savvy Bride's reply:

    Thank you so much Shannon! We are so happy that you found a dress for the girls! xoxo

    This was my 3rd dress appointment scheduled for the day of very frustrating outcomes. I was worried when I first walked in as the store seemed a little overwhelmed with customers and no wedding dresses were to be seen. I immediately assumed this would be the 3rd horrible appointment of the day. Wow, was I wrong.

    My consultant was Teri, and she was just an upbeat and reinforcing energy. At the other salons I had visited my size 14 hips could not fit into over half of the sample size dresses, which I explained to her. She encouraged the 3 people with me and myself to look through the racks, however she also grabbed some of her suggestions. Savvy bride tends to carry larger sample sizes, (around 10-16) which was such a relief after a very emotional day of not being able to fit into anything, I could actually try dresses on. I tried dress after dress that were finally exactly what I was looking for. Teri did not push the sale on me, but rather just followed my lead and let me explore. I felt so comfortable with her and she gave honest opinions. My appointment ran a little long, past closing, however I felt no rush to leave and was encouraged to take time to make up my mind. This was such a positive experience and I am so glad I ended my day at Savvy Bride. I would recommend this store to anyone, especially those girls who might be slightly curvier. I bought a sample dress that fit me perfectly and only cost $700.

    A Savvy Bride's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so glad you enjoyed your experience here and we look forward to helping you with all your wedding needs!!! :)

    The Staff at Savvy Bride have become girlfriends during this process. I walked in there not knowing what to expect after several other places. I was pleasantly surprised at not only their attentiveness to me, but willingness to jump in and offer suggestions! My whole Bridal party loved it!

    Royal Valet did a great job at my wedding. They charged a fee per hour for driving and then a fee for hour for valet services. They worked to figure out what parking lots could be used in the area since our venue only allowed overnight guests to park in the parking lot. We were able to put down a deposit and then pay the remaining bill (based on the hours worked) after our event. It was a nice feature to have for our wedding so that our guests didn't have to worry about where to park.

    We came across Savvy Bride sort of by mistake. We were looking for a day-of coordinator and all the coordinators in the Madison area were out of our price-range. When I emailed Savvy Bride requesting a consultation, I didn't realize they were about an hour and a half from us until the day we were supposed to meet them. I'm so glad we did though! Right away. Kate of Savvy Bride made us feel comfortable right away. She got all the details down, helped us with our wedding ideas, and gave us other ideas. When she quoted the price, we were so relieved that Savvy Bride was within our budget.

    Correspondence with Kate was prompt and friendly. We ordered our groomspeople presents through them and were very happy with the results (engraved pocketwatches!) As the day-of approached, I became more nervous and anxious especially because I wanted a private first-view with my husband and the weather in Madison was due for rain. She managed to help organize it that rain or shine, we'd get our first-view. She helped set up and take down things at the venue and truly put my mind at ease!

    Any one looking for AMAZING customer service NEEDS to go to Savvy Bride!
    My wedding got moved up because of a dear friends who is in the military. We really wanted him to be in our wedding so I only had 2 months to find a dress. (OH NO!)
    I did not think I would be able to find anywhere that would be able to help me do that and Savvy Bride did. They were so helpful and even opened the store for me on a Sunday (when they are not normally open) so that I would be able to get a dress as soon as possible.
    I would highly recommend their shop for all your wedding needs! They have amazing staff and so many gorgeous gowns, it was so hard to choose but with the help of their consultant by the end of my time their I had chosen a dress!!!
    I will for sure be recommending this shop to all my engaged friends!

    The staff at Go Savvy Bridal did an amazing job. I went shopping with my mom, sister, matron of honor, and cousin (bridesmaid); they did an incredible job making us feel welcome. After going through several dresses, the consultant started to see my style, and asked if she could pull out one more. The dress was amazing; everyone loved it! One of the things I really wanted on my dress was a corset and they placed the custom order with Casablanca. Oh, and my dress came in earlier than expected!!
