Amazing experience
Worked with Beth, had an amazing time, I gave her a description over text what I was looking for and she found the perfect dress for me! We altered it a little by adding an extra sparkle later and the cap sleeves and the hem for my 5’4” self. I could trust them with my dress and knew it would be taken good care of! -

Wendy Sent on 07/21/2013Every single staff member at Evaline's Bridal has been professional, courteous, supportive, friendly and caring throughout the entire process of selecting my dress, to making payments, to choosing accessories and handling my fittings. It has been a fantastic experience. They have kept me posted on special events and bridal shows, and I have been able to follow them and interact with them on Pinterest and Facebook. I would highly recommend Evaline's Bridal to anyone who is getting married or needs a formal gown for prom or another event. -

Natasha Sent on 02/17/2012I found my wedding gown at Evaline's, and I knew it was the one! I had looked a several places that had pressured me into buying their gowns, but when I walked into Evaline's, I felt no pressure at all. I actually went in after work one day just curious to see what I could find because I just started my wedding gown search, and to my surprise, I found my gown! Joy was absolutely wonderful, as well as Jade. They made me feel so special. It was a very positive experience. I also had my bridesmaids dresses ordered from them as well, which I was happy with so we would all get our dresses from the same store, and it made it much easier for my girls to go and get their measurements taken. I feel like the girls are family, and they are so wonderful. Although it can be stressful at times planning a wedding, the girls always make me feel comfortable and never like I'm a bother to them or a crazy bride!! :) :) Love them! Can't wait til my dress comes in May! -

Eva Sent on 02/03/2012They were very flexible with my schedule as I lived out of town and had limited times that I could come to the store. My dress was totally remodeled, straight neckline to sweetheart, and turned out just how I imagined it.
My only problems with this store were that my bustle broke on the first dance so I had to hold my dress up all night :( and I was sold a broken tiara which they "glued" back together instead of exchanging it.

My dream dress but...
Evaline’s was super helpful with the entire bridal experience even though I found my dress very quickly (it was like the second one I tried on) but tall and/or plus size (I am both) brides be careful. My dress was ordered multiple sizes too big (I did not lose any weight or diet at all for my wedding) and even after altering it down it was still too big. I should have caught this at my final fitting appointment but I’m not an expert and trusted them when they said it fit well. I had a strapless dress and it kept sliding down through the entire day and I had to have my bridesmaids help me hike it back up numerous times. While walking down the aisle it slipped enough that I was no longer able to walk with the dress going in front of me and had to hand my bouquet to someone sitting in an aisle seat just so I could pick up my dress and walk forward. The entire night I was never able to just walk without picking my dress up with me and I was wearing converse so we know it wasn’t a shoe problem. Not being able to walk led to some serious comic relief and broke a lot of the tension. The entire ceremony was filled with laughs after the aisle fiasco, so I could be more upset but I was a laid back bride as it was but I know this would really bother a lot of people. Also they sewed on the sash that I picked but very loosely and only in the front so it kept riding up in the back and wouldn’t stay in place which was a bit frustrating. Again, stunning dress and very helpful staff but I would be a lot happier if I hadn’t had these issues on my wedding day.
Also lots of “hidden” fees. I’m sure this is across the board in bridal salons but the price on the tag is nowhere near what you actually spend and I wish I had known that. One fee for being tall, another for being plus size, another for an appointment for measurements just because you’re tall and plus size, alterations to fix your tall and plus size dress, 250 to add a bustle etc. I believe my dress was originally around 1300 but after all the add-on fees I ended up spending just over 2700 total. -

I went to Evaline’s Bridal in Warren, OH after attending their Bridal Show at the Covelli Centre in Youngstown, OH. I was very excited and nervous as this was my first time trying on wedding gowns.
Needless to say I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND Evalines Bridal unless you are fortunate enough to be able to spend THOUSANDSSSS of dollars on your wedding dress.
When I went in I was greeted at the counter by Mary Katherine. She began asking me what I was looking for in a gown. I explained that I like bling and sparkle as well as lace. She then asked me by budget. I told her it is $1,000. Now mind you I am a 28 yr. old bride who has been working full time and living independently since I was 18 years old. I am paying out of pocket for my wedding with some help from my mother who is retired. My fiancée is working on buying us our first home this year so that is where his money is committed. After I told Mary Katherine my budget she basically scoffed and told me that I was not going to find what I want in that price range. She then offered to see what she could find and offered to put me in a dress that fits what I was looking for so that “I could see what a little more money would do.” I firmly told her that I did not want to do that at all as my budget is very firm.
We then looked at a few gowns on the rack. She pointed out one and told me that it was $1300 but that it would be more what I was looking for. I agreed to try on this gown as $300 wouldn’t be completely impossible. I tried on a total of 3 dresses. Mary Katherine even offered me an additional 10% off of my gown. How nice right? I was told by Mary Katherine that they were all the same price range. I fell in love with the 3rd gown that I tried on. Mary Katherine asked if she could get the matching veil. I asked the price of it and she said it was $200. I tried it all on and I was close to tears.
I finally composed myself and went back to the dressing room where she checked the prices while I got changed. She then told me the dress was actually $1600 and that the veil was $300. Far cry off of $1300 and $200 that she initially quoted me. As I was a hopeful bride enamored by the dress I asked her to get the total amount together for me. She came back with a paper with $2185 written on it and told me that the slip, alterations and 2 other charges (that I didn’t understand) to the tune of $260 were included in that price.
Mary Katherine did EXACTLY what I was firm in asking her not to do at the start of my appointment. She put me in a dress that was LITERALLY TWO AND A HALF TIMES MY BUDGET. Mary Katherine got my hopes up so high.
Reality set in and when I finally called back the following day to tell the receptionist that I will have to pass it was everything that I could do to not break out into tears.
Needless to say I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND Evalines Bridal unless you are fortunate enough to be able to spend THOUSANDSSSS of dollars on your wedding dress.

User3204014 Sent on 09/11/2017THIS IS TRULY ONE OF THE MOST HORRIBLE EXPERIENCES I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! PICKING A GIRL'S WEDDING DRESS IS SUPPOSED TO BE VERY SPECIAL DAY AND IT WAS NO WHERE NEAR SPECIAL! AFTER WALKING IN TO A CLUSTER OF PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT, THERE WAS NO WHERE TO SIT. THE SALES GIRL HAD TO ACTUALLY GRAB A TABLE WHILE SOMEONE GOT UP FROM THEIR SEAT. WE HAD MULTIPLE DRESSES TO TRY ON AND WHEN THE TIME CAME TO SHOW EVERYONE MY CHOICES, I COULD NOT GET ANY OF THE DRESSES ON! I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE ALL THE SAME SIZE AND YOU CAN HOLD ONE UP IN FRONT OF YOU TO SEE IF YOU LIKE IT! HOW EMBARRASSING THIS WAS FOR ME! WHEN THE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IF YOU ARE NOT A SIZE 8 YOU WON'T FIT INTO ANY OF OUR DRESSES. WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME THIS WAS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY THAT WERE THERE! I WILL BE TELLING EVERYONE NOT TO COME TO YOUR STORE ! I REALLY FEEL THAT THIS WAS SO UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE! AFTER SPENDING DAYS CRYING ABOUT THIS, I NOW KNOW THAT THIS WAS NOT THE STORE FOR ME! EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, SO I'M SURE THAT THE STORE THAT I PURCHASE MY WEDDING DRESS FROM, WILL MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL AND BEAUTIFUL! THANKS FOR RUINING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY SPECIAL DAY!
