Connie Sent on 07/02/2025Best dress place for all future brides!
My sister went to Genevieve's a few years ago to get her dress with Monika as her consultant -- it was such an amazing experience!
Now that it's my turn to dress shop, I booked a trip to Kleinfeld in NYC with my mom and sister. However, our flight got cancelled a few hours before takeoff, so we were stuck with no appointment. I sent an email to the owner at Genevieve's early in the morning to see if there were any last-minute appointment slots due to my unfortunate trip cancellation. They were able to squeeze me in the next day and gave us the same experience that we had with my sister and more. We found my dress but came back a week later so my other sisters and future MIL could see it for the big reveal with another stylist Brooklyn who was also so helpful.
Cannot reocmmend Genevieve's enough for all brides!!! -

Had the most incredible experience at Genevieves! Ended up having to cancel all of my other appointments because I found the one! Andrea was amazing and helped me stay in budget, she even pulled the dress I picked and it was never something I would have pulled for myself!! Cant say enough great things! -

Liz was wonderful in guiding me through the process as I had not been wedding dress shopping yet! She helped make me feel beautiful, calm, and enjoying the moment through what can be a very overwhelming process. I am so happy I got my dress here and would recommend Genevieve's to any other brides! -

Willow Sent on 09/05/2023The BEST dress shop in the area!
Lizzie made the experience of buying my wedding dress so wonderful! I cannot recommend this salon and Lizzie specifically, enough! Unlike other salons she allowed me and my guests to browse the racks with her and pull anything I wanted to try. My mother and Mother in Law felt included which was important to me. Her joyful nature was shining through the entire time! I really appreciated her politeness with my guests. She made sure I wasn't overwhelmed and told me if I was she would give me a moment alone in the fitting room. Unlike other salons she was very encouraging while still telling me that finding my dress was the most important thing - not pressuring me to buy it right then and there. This salon is beautiful inside and all the staff are very welcoming with bright smiling faces. -

I had only tried on dresses at one other bridal salon, so I was very nervous going into this process. My experience here was nothing short of amazing. Monika was so kind and welcoming from the beginning and made me feel so comfortable. She knew exactly what questions to ask me and was so creative in styling to help me better visualize. I felt so beautiful the entire time. It truly was the most amazing experience & more than I could ever ask for. The other sale associate (I wish I knew her name) was also so complimentary and kind. The salon is beautiful and I felt so confident saying “yes!” -

Genevieve’s was the first boutique I visited for my wedding dress and needless to say, I said yes to the dress here! The place is beautiful and very well setup. There is a variety of dresses in such beautiful designs!
The staff was very welcoming and friendly. I got the opportunity to work with Monika as my stylist. She is absolutely amazing! She is so kind and professional. She really took the time to get to know me and my style. I was nervous at first, but she really helped ease my anxiety and made me feel so confident in every dress I wore. She made my friends, mom and I feel so comfortable and really listened to our opinions. I tried on multiple dresses, but we eventually found the PERFECT dress and my veil as well! I truly appreciate her patience with me. I couldn’t have found it without her and her expertise.
I am so excited to wear my dress and veil. Definitely recommend any bride-to-be to come find their dress here! -

Hannah Sent on 01/11/2023Fairy-tale like experience!
Cannot stress enough how absolutely wonderful this boutique is! I worked with Andrea and she was SO kind and so attentive, and it felt like as soon as we started working together on finding a dress, she anticipated everything I was thinking and just knew exactly what I would and wouldn’t like. The whole staff is encouraging, the boutique feels welcoming and comfortable, and the dresses are some of the most beautiful (and unique) dresses I’ve ever seen. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fairy-tale like experience during their dress hunting season! -

I had a great experience at Genevieve’s. The staff was wonderful and so helpful. I was worried I wouldn’t get the same bridal experience because of Covid restrictions but it was actually better I think because I limited the amount of people who could come the the appointment but also because we had the whole store to ourselves. I felt listened to and understood by the staff and most of all not pushed into something. Thank you Genevieve’s team!! -

Mary Sent on 09/14/2021Cutest Shop to Find My Dream Dress!
Genevieve’s was the perfect place to find my wedding dress! I went wedding dress shopping with my mom, only two weeks after I got engaged, with zero intention of buying a dress. I walked into my appointment at Genevieve’s and was awed by the beauty, and that we had the entire salon to ourselves! Our stylists were so helpful, honest and kind, and let us have time to process each dress and try on my favorites multiple times. I ended up seeing a dress immediately as I walked into the store, and there was no looking back! After I said my unexpected yes, we were treated to champagne and cried happy tears. It was one of the most special moments of wedding planning with my mom. The dress came in on time, Genevieve’s was amazing with communicating and our experience was flawless! It was a beautiful studio, everyone was so kind and the dress selection was incredible. There were styles for all body types and tastes, and I had a blast trying on all kinds of dresses. Thank you for giving me the dress and experience of my dreams, Genevieve’s!! -

Kelsey Sent on 01/24/2021Amazing Experience
I had such a wonderful experience at Genevieve's! It was the first shop that I looked at for a wedding dress and didn't have to look any further. I went in without a strong idea of what sort of gown I was looking for, and the employees there were able to curate selections to my liking. After trying on 10 dresses at most I walked out purchasing the dress of my dreams. It was the most seamless, relaxing process I could have ever imagined. It was also very COVID-safe, as my appointment was in January 2021. The staff at Genevieve's worked hard to make sure that I felt like the star of the show! It's every girl's dream to one day pick out their wedding dress - and Genevieve's made that experience so special. I can't wait to pick up my dress! -

Mallory Sent on 11/01/2019Very Nice Experience
I have visited a lot of bridal shops recently while looking for my wedding dress. When I walked into Genevieve's, I knew I would find my dress here. The shop is so cute inside with the decor and furniture and the overall vibe is very relaxed. Both Monika and Maya were very welcoming and sweet when we walked in without even having an appointment. Since there was not another appointment at the time, they were more than happy to allow me to look around and try on anything. Lucky enough, that is exactly how I found my dress. I really enjoyed the laid back experience. I felt no pressure or stress trying on dresses which really helped me in making my decision. They allowed me to try on any veil, belt or jewelry they have to complete the look and I appreciated that they allowed you to take your time. Monika was super helpful in explaining everything and allowing me to come back a couple more times to try on the dress. When I finally said Yes to the Dress we got to enjoy a glass of champagne and take a "Yes to the Dress" picture that they later shared on their IG story which made me feel really special. I would recommend all future brides to check this place out. -

Michelle Sent on 10/13/2019Amazing and stress-free experience!
Genevieves’s is awesome! This was my first dress shopping appointment and it ended up being my last. Me and 2 of my bridesmaids went and got there a bit early. They were more than ready for us and had my name posted on a chalkboard outside welcoming me. The consultant was amazing! I had a couple of pictures and a description of what I liked but didn’t have anything specific in mind. She started by pulling dresses similar to my pictures and then encouraged me to try a few other styles just to see. I liked what I had “envisioned” but ended up falling IN LOVE with a different style that she had suggested! It was the second dress I tried and no matter what else I tried after that, nothing compared. She explained the details of each dress thoroughly and showed me what they would look like bustled. In the end we put my favorite dress back on and they gave me a veil and jewelry and I knew it was the one. They let my bridesmaids take all the pictures we wanted and gave us a champagne toast. After I was back in normal clothes I got an “I said yes” pic and they explained the ordering process. My consultant was BEYOND thorough and made the experience amazing instead of stressful. The prices were more than reasonable and the staff is fantastic. They custom order the dress according to size and don’t do alterations but partner with an awesome shop in Arlington Heights; make sure you visit and order at least 8-10 months in advance. I would absolutely recommend Genevieves to ALL future brides! They are friendly, thorough, fun, and pressure-free. -

Bella Sent on 06/12/2019Amazing!!!
As soon as I walked in, I saw my dream dress! I tried two other dresses on before this dress and then knew it was the one. I had another dress appointment that day but nothing could compare to the dress and experience that I had at Genevieve’s. I went back a few hours later and bought the dress! I 110% recommend Genevieve’s for any bride looking to find their dream dress! I had so many dresses pinned on Pinterest not thinking I would ever find my dream dress so quickly! Monika helped me out and she was so amazing! Definitely recommend! -

I am so happy I went to Genevieve's for my first appointment - they were so nice, and helped me find my DREAM dress! I had no idea what I wanted, hadn't really looked at styles, and Monica was SO helpful in finding me a PERFECT dress! They are EXTREMELY reasonable with pricing! I am so excited to go back for a fitting and even more excited to get married! Highly recommend! -

Mary Sent on 07/18/2018Genevieve's was the best experience I could have asked for! We had the shop to ourselves which made it very personal for my appointment. They were very nice and found many dresses for me to try on within my budget and the style I was looking for. I found the wedding dress of my dreams at Genevieve's! -

Kylie Sent on 07/09/2018Everyone at Genevieve’s was so helpful and accommodating. Smaller selection but everything they had was high quality for a great value, and I much prefer smaller selections to not get overwhelmed! They were running a trunk show sale and I found the gown of my dreams, but was hesitant to buy without important family members there. The owner allowed me to put down a deposit to hold the sale price, but held off on ordering the dress so I could come back next time I’m in town. Truly awesome service. -

Justyna Sent on 11/18/2017I would highly recommend shopping at Genevieve's for your bridal gown. From start to finish the whole experience was very pleasant. A few things I liked most about the experience is first they provided you with a questionnaire about your bridal gown and style of your wedding, secondly the hospitality (from closing down the entire store for your appointment, the friendly staff.. to the champagne when you make your decision) and lastly the overall value and quality of the gown. I knew what I wanted in a gown but now I feel like I received something more than what I could have ever imagined! Thank you Genevieve's!!

Taylor Sent on 08/23/2019Great Experience
I worked with Monika at Genevieve's Bridal Couture to find my wedding dress. Before making my appointment, I looked at their Pinterest page to see if they carried the style of dress I was searching for. I got there early but was able to start my appointment right away. Monika asked what my style was and about my wedding venue to get a sense of what I was looking for. She let my mom and I look around the store and point out specific dresses that I'd like to try on, and Monika picked out others that she thought I would like. We had the entire store to ourselves, which was awesome. Monika was so knowledgeable about each dress I was interested in and was able to answer all of my questions (i.e., What would this look like if it was lined? Could I get the sleeves changed? I don't like this part, could it be altered?). I wound up choosing my dress at this appointment, and Monika poured my mom and me some champagne to celebrate. I would definitely recommend shopping at Genevieve's and working with Monika! -

Anna Sent on 11/11/2018The most beautiful dress
The stylists at Genevieve's picked out the BEST dresses for me. In fact, the one I ended up purchasing was the very first one I tried on. I loved every single dress I tried and I would recommend Genevieve's to all of my friends.
