    Great bridal shop

    I visited several different bridal shops in several different states until I found my dress here. Cherished offered a variety of beautiful dresses with a good selection of options in all sizes. I found out that you can view the dresses online before going, however Barbara is happy to show you everything in the store without looking online first. She was patient and a pleasure to deal with. I am glad I purchased my dress here.

    Awesome shopping experience

    I had a great experience shopping for my gown here. Barbara was patient, supportive, and really listened to what I wanted. I got a gorgeous gown at an amazing price. Just remember to also leave room in your budget for the alterations.

    An absolute dream team!

    Barbara and Slubia MADE my wedding dress experience. This is absolutely the place to go if you want a chill, intimate, low-pressure shopping experience. Barbara was so knowledgeable and attentive and helped me find my dream dress and veil for way under my budget! And Slubia is the queen of alterations, so much so that she also helped my mom with her dress. I loved my dress so much I wish I could wear it again! I've already had another friend buy her dress at Cherished Bridals and she also had an amazing experience. I would recommend Cherished Bridals to every bride. Thank you, Barbara and Slubia!

    The perfect bridal shop!

    I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Cherished Bridals! Barbara, the store manager, is so kind, friendly, and patient. I showed her the style I was looking for, and before I knew it, she had at least 10 options for me to try on. I am so thankful to Barbara, because without her, I don’t know if I would have found a dress that I truly love. I’m so happy that I visited Cherished Bridals and was able to experience the perfect wedding dress shopping experience!

    Great Experience!

    Highly recommend Cherished Bridals! Barbara is awesome and extremely knowledgeable/helpful to provide an objective opinion. I ended up purchasing my beautiful designer dress for a fraction of the cost it otherwise would have been. They also have a solid selection of accessories, such as veils, belts, and hair pieces.

    Excellent Experience

    I went to Cherished Bridal two times visiting from NYC. The first time I found the dress I loved, and I went back to them a second time to make the purchase. Upon my second visit I found another dress that was spectacular! That's right, I found 2 dresses that I absolutely loved. The service was wonderful, the price is right, and if you are flexible you can not walk out of Cherished Bridals without finding something for you! The selection was impressive, and far surpassed any other sample sale salons I had experienced. The BEST of the BEST!

    Great dresses, accommodating staff!

    Cherished Bridal is an amazing bridal store with a wide range of dresses in various styles. I was surprised at how many dresses were available when I went! I found a unique, classy dress that fit exactly in my budget. Both Barbara and the seamstress Slubia were very king, helpful, and not pushy at all. Additionally, they were both very accommodating when I had schedule changes due to COVID-19. Such a pleasure to work with!

    5+ stars for cherished bridals

    Barbara and Cherished Bridals made my wedding dress shopping experience amazing!! There's only one bride shopping at a time (which makes for a very intimate and relaxed experience) and Barbara was so easy to work with. She actually picked my winning dress!! There were plenty of dresses to choose from and each one was in pristine condition. Plus, THE PRICE WAS RIGHT! You'd be doing yourself a disservice NOT stopping in here to try and find your gown.

    So Many Gorgeous Vintage Looking Dresses

    I was looking for an older style dress that was not too flashy and not stark white and I found SO many gorgeous options at Cherished Bridals. This consignment shop was exactly what I was looking for, super reasonable, with so many unique and older styles. I actually found more than one dress that I loved there and was so grateful that alterations and accessories could be taken care of within house as well. Everyone there was so friendly and easy to work with and I'm grateful I found them! Thank you!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    I couldn’t be more thrilled that I came to Cherished Bridals! Because I don’t love to shop, I was expecting the process to be such a stressful and overwhelming experience. Well, I was so wrong! Barbara made it such an enjoyable, easy, and personalized experience! Cherished Bridals was my first time looking for my dress and I was unsure of what I wanted, and was so afraid I would leave felling frustrated. Barbara, so patient and kind, allowed my mom, sister, and I to look through the dresses and take my time trying many on. I didn’t feel rushed at all and she used our feedback to help guide me to my perfect dress! My experience was so incredible and I highly recommend Cherished Bridals being your first stop to find the one! Thank you Barbara!!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Cherished bridals. This was not my first bridal salon stop, but it was my last. This salon is unique in that it acquires samples from other salons and sells them at a discount. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. My entourage and I pulled many many dresses, and our bridal consultant could not have been more gracious and hospitable in making recommendations and bringing the pulled dresses to the fitting room. I was not rushed; I was not pressured. I was undecided between two gorgeous gowns, and eventually made a decision and said "yes to the dress." Thank you Cherished Bridals!

    What an amazing experience! I actually went there last summer with my Mom. I met Barbara and her sister who happened to be covering for her daughter that day. Barbara's amazing sister helped me find my dress. Those two were the most honest, patient and understanding women that you would ever want there when trying to buy a dress. I wasn't sure what to expect but I went in with an open mind. 98% of their dresses have never been worn. What you see is what you get. Almost all new unworn dresses that is available in that one dress as is. Size and color with an amazing price. I love saving money and was over the moon to walk out with the very last dress I saw while my mom and I was actually leaving after not finding anything. Thanks to Barbara, I was reassured it was okay to go back in the dressing room and try on the dress. Mind you this was my 4th store. I tried on plenty of dresses. However there wasn't one dress that I liked from top to bottom. Finally I found my dress that fit like a glove!!! I still look at pictures from that day. Thank you ladies for an unforgettable experience. I will be back this summer to get my dress altered and ready for my upcoming September 2017 wedding. Worth the time to see what Cherished Bridals have to offer!

    Cherished bridals was the first of many amazing finds along the wedding planning process. I tried on 30+ gowns around NJ and NY and could not find the just-right one. All were beautiful but none were 'it'. The first dress I put on was beyond unique and perfectly me. Not to mention the price was actually jaw dropping (in the good way!). Slubia was incredible... adding on a completely new skirt and train for me, always reassuring that every big 'issue' was not an issue in the slightest. SO grateful for Barbara and Slubia. Thank you!

    I did not buy my dress from Cherished Bridals, but I did have my dress altered there. Their seamstress was amazing. I had a size 12 dress that needed to be fitted to a size 2. You would never know that my dress was altered so much. It came out perfect. I would highly recommend Cherished Bridals.

    Barbara is so helpful and kind. She was patient and provided feedback to help with finding a wedding dress. They have new and used dresses, which look like they are brand new! Some of the dresses are so unique and alterations were reasonably priced.

    Buying my dress at Cherished Bridals was a great experience! I got engaged at Christmas and I'm getting married in July and didn't start shopping until February, so I was very nervous about finding a dress that would be ready in time. When I found Cherished Bridals, a consignment shop, online I figured maybe this would be a great solution. I didn't have any issue wearing a previously worn dress and I really liked the idea that I would by buying MY dress, not ordering a dress that would need several months to be made and shipped. I was the only bride at the store during my appointment, I was helped by Barbara who was very sweet and helpful. Barbara encouraged my mom and I to pull dresses off the racks and she also helped pull dresses. I was worried that there wouldn't be a large selection of styles, but there was plenty to chose from. I tried on about 12 dresses (I didn't want to get overwhelmed) and found 3 that I really liked. I would have happily purchased any of those 3 dresses, but I ultimately settled on one that was everything I was looking for (Barbara had actually pulled this dress after seeing which dress styles I liked best.) The dress looks great, no wear or tear from the previous bride. The dress originally retailed for $1200 and I paid $600. I believe all of the dresses are 50% off of the original price, most of the dresses I was looking at ranged in resale price from $500-$1000.

    If you are looking for a Say Yes To The Dress experience, this might not be for you. Barbara was awesome, but this type of dress shopping just isn't a "you're a princess, all eyes on you" type experience. It's more laid back and you have to be open minded, because you don't really know what will be at the store when you get there. But, if you're a bridezilla type you probably aren't considering buying your dress at a consignment shop to begin with!

    UPDATE
    The recommended tailor, Slubia, did my alterations. She did a great job and it was a very reasonable price!

    My wife purchased her dress from Cherished Bridals, and we both went there for dress alterations. She looked stunning! She was also very happy with the price of her dress after looking at several other shops. I wish she had found Cherished Bridals before I bought MY dress- I definitely would have shopped there as well.

    The shop owner and seamstress were both awesome - very friendly and they helped make sure we didn't see each other in our dresses when we came in for appointments together! Alterations were quick and both dresses fit perfectly! We would recommend Cherished Bridals to anyone looking for a dress or alterations in the NYC/NJ area!!

    Posting my mom's Facebook review since she doesn't have a WW account:
    What a charming store my daughter had found! I could not believe I would find my dress here and the prices were unbelievable! They have a wonderful assortment of dresses, veils and accessories too. Had an early morning appointment and we had the store all to ourselves and had the best experience. I highly recommend this shop, Cherished Bridals, to all brides looking for a dress on a reasonable budget! The owner was very sweet and was able to select some gowns for me as I was open to anything but I found a gown that I never expected would be perfect for me! Thank you so much for your help!!!

    I was so lucky to have found Cherished Bridals for my wedding gown. Cherished Bridals is a consignment shop specifically for wedding gowns that sells both used and new gowns. They only carry gowns from the most recent years and at half the price. The owner Michelle and her employee/seamstress Molina were both very friendly and helpful. Molina found the perfect dress for me (it helps to be open to different styles) and did a great job with making the alterations. She was so very patient w me as I looked through the collection and finally chose a veil that I found out Molina herself had made.

    I found the most perfect wedding dress here!! Everyone was incredibly patient and helpful while I tried on dress after dress. Once we picked out the one, the tailor made it fit like a glove, with a very short turn around time. It only took two fittings, and the dress looked spectacular. Even better, the dresses are consignment, so they are much more reasonably priced. Great experience!
