    Great people to work with !

    I bought my wedding dress at Arlene’s bridal for my wedding in April 2024. Debbie was great and very patient with me . I just had a baby right before trying wedding dresses on and she gave me so many beautiful options . I loved their “Sunday Funday”, where my bridesmaid also received the VIP treatment as well. Alterations were perfect and reasonably priced. Overall, I had a great experience with Debbie and Jewel . I felt like a princess on my wedding day . I will recommend Arlene’s bridal to every bride I know.

    Thank you guys!

    Beautiful Dress/ Best Experience Ever!

    Finding my dress at Arlene’s was by far one of my favorite wedding planning experiences. I would call every bride in the world personally if I could, and tell them that this is the ONLY bridal shop you will ever need to go to. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Debbie, Jewel, and the rest of the staff here. I went in for my dress appointment with a style in mind completely different than what I ended up with. I told Debbie what I was looking for, and she found me the exact dress to try on. When I realized I hated it on me, and no longer wanted that style, but didn’t know what else I would...

    Excellent Experience!

    Debbie and her team were amazing to work with! I chose the first dress she had me try on, and I loved wearing it on my wedding day. I am so happy I bought my dress and had it altered at Arlene's.
    I was a 'Covid' bride and had to postpone my wedding twice. Throughout the pandemic, Debbie was patient and flexible with storing and altering my dress. I had no issues and was confident that she would take good care of it.
    I would definitely recommend Arlene's Bridal to any bride in the North Jersey area! Working with Debbie is like working with family. She makes you feel so good! Thanks again for all of your help!

    perfect bridal shop!

    Arlene’s Bridal was so wonderful to work with. This wasn’t the first shop I had gone to on my journey to find my perfect dress. Arlene’s was the most accommodating, personal and professional bridal shop I had gone to and I found numerous dresses that I really liked there. When I found my dress, I fell in love right away and Debbie helped make me feel like the most beautiful bride there was. I knew I should have started here, especially knowing that my sister bought her bridal gown from Arlene’s about 8 years prior. When we got the news that we needed to postpone the wedding for an entire year, Debbie assured me that they could hold the...

    SO amazing!

    After searching and searching for my wedding dress, who knew it was so close to home! I walked into Arlene’s and was happily greeted by Debbie and she helped me find my dress, and it was a spur of the moment pick by Debbie after actually listening to what I like and didn’t want in my dress! They all know their stuff and so amazingly sweet and easy going! She made me feel so comfortable and I knew that I was in great hands. I could not have asked to be able to find my dress with the best woman ever! Debbie and her team at Arlene’s was so helpful from start to finish! I felt so beautiful and...

    Incredible

    I could never thank Deb and Pam enough for all they have done for me. They dressed me from head to toe for my wedding day, and I felt so amazing. I had so many guests come up to me and tell me how stunning my dress was and how it was so different than anything they've ever seen. I had gone to a few other dress shops, and every dress the others had me try on were so wrong for me. I found a dress in another store that I thought could be the one, so, I e-mailed Deb a picture of it, and she knew the dress, right down to the designer and model number (I didn't...

    Perfect Fit!

    I originally found Arlene’s Bridal shop when I fell in love with an Essense of Australia gown and they were one of the few shops that carried it. What I didn’t realize at the time was that Arlene’s Bridal and the owner Debbie take such pride in their work and truly care about making every bride feel special on their wedding day. With a curvier figure, I often find it difficult to find dresses that fit me properly. My consultant Jewel was so knowledgeable about the gowns that she quickly calmed my fears and concerns. She made sure that I tried multiple options to be sure that my original choice was the best and helped me to reaffirm my...

    The best around!!!

    There is absolutely nothing bad I can say about this bridal salon. Debbie, Julz and the rest of the staff made every part of this wedding process a breeze. I got my wedding dress from here, all my bridesmaids got their dresses here, and my cousin also just bought her wedding dress here as well! They make you feel like family!!! They never ever try to push a dress that's more expensive, they will only tell you what they feel looks the best ! I Jessi the wedding dress tailor is amazing !! My dress was very large on me she had to take it in about 3 sizes and she did it in one fitting! It fits me...

    Beautiful Wedding Dress

    I bought my gorgeous wedding dress from Arlene’s for my December 2018 wedding. This is a family owned business and they have the most BEAUTIFUL dresses. The owner Debbie handpicks these beautiful gowns. I was pleasantly surprised with the assortment she had and they were so helpful on helping me find my dress. The tailoring was perfection and I honestly could not be happier with my experience.

    I couldn't be happier with choosing Arlene's, this group of ladies are nothing but the best. I found my dress at another salon but realized Arlene's also carried the designer. They we're in my budget, including alterations. Their hours are great & the staff is wonderful. I'd recommend Arlene's to anyone who is looking for a wedding dress. They also have gorgeous bridesmaids and mother of the bride dresses also. Thank's so much ladies, my dress was stunning!!!

    What's the most important thing about choosing a wedding dress? That you love it, whatever one you pick. I bought a Maggie Sottero Chesney dress from Arlene's and was just so pleased!! It fit so well and I got so many compliments while staying within my budget. Jewel and Debbie were wonderful to work with and they completely accommodated my timing. I'm in NYC and had tried RK for a Maggie dress...which would not have arrived until a day before my wedding. When I went to Arlene's I was relieved to order one in the style I'd wanted with plenty of time to spare. And even though it was a form-fitting sweetheart dress with an inner corset, the beautiful...

    I had been looking for a sample of a certain dress throughout all of Manhattan and couldn't find it until I expanded my search to NJ and found this gem of a bridal salon and they had the sample dress that I was obsessed with! Jewel was extremely attentive to me and my "entourage" and even though I had my dress already picked out, she made sure I tried on many different styles to make sure that my pick of the dress was "my" dress. She actually took extra time when I could have tried on the 1 dress and been happy with it! I did end up buying the dress I came in looking for and while paying,...

    I originally purchased my Maggie Soterro dress from another vendor. After a few months of placing my order the store went out of business and never told their customers'. I went on Maggie Soterro's website and came across Arlene's Bridal. I went on their website and noticed that on top of carrying Maggie they also carried Alfred Angelo dresses, which is what I wanted for my bridal party,
    On my first visit to Arlene's I met with Jewels. I explained to her my prior situtaion and she was very helpful and honest with me. She explained that my wedding was near and there was a possibility that my dress would have to be rushed. I appreciated her honesty because...

    THANK YOU SO MUCH Debbie, Jewel, and the entire Arlene's staff. My family, 8 bridesmaids and I were treated like family. You took such great care of all of us. Thank you Jewel & Debbie for helping me find "the dress." I'm so glad you were the 1st & last place I went!!! The prices are so reasonable too. You made me feel so special. I felt like I got to know you ladies so well. Debbie (the owner) & I cried the day I picked up my dress! It was such a great journey...My dress was tailored to fit my body perfectly after loosing over 40 pounds!!! Thank you ladies for such an AMAZING & UNFORGETTABLE experience!!! We love you!!!

    Kleinfeld's Who? Our dresses were phenomenal (wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses) and everyone really treated me like a family member. The prices were excellent and the seamstresses were top notch! Debbie and Juiles were there with me from day one well over a year ago when my dress shopping began. I highly recommend this boutique to everyone that it looking for a personable experience!

    We used them for all our bridesmaids dresses and mother of the bride and mother of the groom dressses.....We loved them. They always took care of us (and believe me, we were not easy to deal with.) They did a great job with alterations as well....Would use them again in a heartbeat!!!

    I absolutely LOVE Arlene's Bridal. I have never had such a great and personal service. All the girls are absolutely wonderful and sweet. Jamie and Debbie (the owners) are so helpful and very hands on. They did not give up until I found my dream dress. I went to lots of bigger bridal shops and high end shops and the service there could never match the great service and attention that I received at Arlene's. Most people think that because it's a smaller and local place that they won't find what they need or want there, but it's the complete opposite. They have a large selection of different styles and sizes. They are also very great when it comes...

    Best Experience!

    Arleen’s Bridal gave me the best wedding dress experience. They helped me and my mom find the most gorgeous dresses. Both of which were very well priced. My mom was undergoing cancer treatment when we went to pick out dresses and they made sure the clear the show room for her so that she wouldn’t be exposed to COVID. Their seamstress is incredible and can literally solve any problem you have!
