    Dream Come True

    I am so grateful for my experience at Jin Wang. I found the most beautiful dream gown among Jin Wang's incredible collection. The shop itself is dream and I loved each and every appointment there. Jin is amazing and was lovely to work with - she was so caring and thoughtful throughout the process and she tailored my dress to perfection. I knew I was in such good hands and loved that all fittings and alterations were handled in house. Jin played such a big part in making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day - thank you, Jin!

    A Dream Experience and Dress!

    Fabulous, professional, friendly, creative...these are just a few words that describe Jin and her wonderful staff! When I found my dream dress, I wanted to make a few modifications. Jin went above and beyond to turn my vision into a reality, creating perfect cap sleeves and a sash. She created a dress that I will cherish forever.
    The entire experience was one of the highlights of the wedding planning process: fun, stress-free, and unforgettable. Thank you, Jin and team, for everything!

    Exquisite, Magical Experience!

    Jin Wang Bridal was the second salon we visited, and even after finding the dress of my daughter's dream at a subsequent shop, we knew immediately we wanted to purchase the dress from Jin. The experience of trying on dresses there was above and beyond what one could hope for: a beautiful salon, an exquisite collection of dresses, an attentive, knowledgeable, and encouraging staff, and a clear investment in giving my daughter exactly what she envisioned for her wedding day. Jin handled all the alterations personally, and I have never seen someone so attuned to the details that would create the most flattering fit. She recognizes clearly how this is not simply a purchase, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and she earnestly wants to know the story that brought you to her door. She spent extensive time to review both bustling the dress and how to walk down the aisle. She welcomed an extended entourage into the space and calmly listened to and assured opinionated aunties. She creatively found a way to incorporate a piece of my wedding veil into my daughter's dress, recognizing the emotion that went into this symbolic gesture. Working with Jin Wang was one of the most memorable and happiest parts of the wedding planning, and I offer her my highest recommendation!

    Everything in your dress shopping dreams

    When I was planning my schedule for visiting some wedding dress salons in SF, Jin Wang was the salon that I just couldn't wait to go visit. Knowing that I was leaning more towards a contemporary style for my wedding dress, I just couldn't wait to see the curated assortment she had in person. About 2 weeks before my appointment, I received an email letting me know that her location had temporarily been moved due to construction happening in her downtown location. At first I was a bit frustrated honestly because I had planned my day to visit multiple salons based on location, however, once we arrived to Jin's new location in Twin Peaks all of those thoughts when away. The second you walk into her incredible salon, you instantly feel like you are in some rom-com and you are the only bride that matters in that moment. Jin is a great listener and also someone with incredible taste. She had exactly what I was looking for and new down to the stitch what she needed to do to make it work perfectly on my body. When it was time for my last fitting, Jin and I worked together in figuring out how I could get the hair accessory that I was envisioning. I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day and a lot of that was thanks to Jin and her work. Looking at my wedding photos, I fall in love more and more with the dress I chose. If you are looking for top quality service, a private experience and dresses that never go out of style, Jin Wang is your place!

    I can't begin to express how wonderful it was to get my wedding dress from Jin. Five stars in every sense.

    My mom and I went to many bridal boutiques around the Bay Area after I became engaged last fall. Our first visit to Jin's was in December, soon after she moved locations due to construction near Union Square. While the location was unusual, parking is easy, and the view is to die for. They have created a beautiful showroom in the space -- Jin and her team have added all the expected and required bridal showroom accoutrement, including, of course, an amazing selection of dresses. I really enjoyed Geneive, who took care of our initial appointment. Everything about our appointment felt very personal and nothing was rushed.

    Unable to decide, we visited again after the holidays. This time, Jin helped us, and we ordered a gown. However, for a couple of reasons, the dress was not quite right, and we were not sure how to proceed -- we considered restarting the search and finding another dress. Jin was wonderful about assuaging our concerns, and she let us know that she would redesign the bodice and undertake extensive alterations of the dress we'd ordered so that it would be perfect.

    Thanks to Jin, my wedding dress was everything I'd hoped for and more. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was, and I was so impressed with the time she took with all our appointments (never rushed) and her attention to detail (impeccable).

    What made the experience even more special, though, was how lovely Jin is, and how much we enjoyed spending time with her. My mom and I will both miss our appointments with Jin -- she is so much fun to be around and is simply the best. Thank you Jin and team for everything!

    Fantastic service and selection. Attentive to every detail and good at working with any kind of figure. (I'm curvy w rather large girls that I didn't want to steal the show. Jin is teeny and still knew how to work that dress to make me look amazing.)
    I'd highly recommend getting your dress here...loved the experience.

    I found "the dress" at Jin Wang last December and finally got to wear it on my big day last week! When I was searching for wedding dresses, I made appointments at Novella Bridal, Bridal Galleria and Jin Wang. What made Jin Wang stand out was their selection (I was looking for something that was slightly more modern, and the other salons simply didn't have the inventory), the level of service (NO pressure to buy whatsoever - unlike Bridal Galleria where I felt they were practically talking me into buying a dress), and the people (both my consultant Lily and Jin herself were so great to work with).

    Most bridal salons I researched didn't do in-house alterations. This always struck me as odd since it felt like they could just sell you a dress then send you off on your merry way, leaving someone else to deal with the bustle or making sure the dress fits properly. Jin Wang herself did all my dress alterations and I was so grateful for that. There was a bit of an issue with the designer of my dress changing the neckline between when I bought it and when it was delivered (yes, apparently this happens). Jin was super patient and attentive to detail and reconstructed the neckline I wanted using extra fabric she requested from the designer. I'm quite meticulous so I'd ask her to move fabric over by an inch or half an inch so I could see what it looked like, and she worked with me 1:1 until we got it just right. By the time she was done, the neckline was perfection, and the dress fit me like a glove. I doubt you can find this kind of skill and expertise anywhere else.

    Jin herself is an absolute sweetheart. She's witty, kind, personable, and funny. My parents loved her, and she was great working with my maid of honor to show her how to bustle my dress properly (complete with a step by step diagram!). She got to know me and my family on a personal level, and I'm sure if I walked in randomly she'd come out and give me a big hug hello.

    Jin Wang's salon is breath taking. Jin and her staff are friendly, warm, and know how to style a bride. My experience at Jin Wang was unmatched by any other bridal salon in San Francisco.

    My friend who worked as a wedding planner in the Bay Area insisted that we go to Jin Wang to find my wedding gown. The top floor space with floor to ceiling windows is breathtaking and Jin Wang’s gowns are no different. Working with Jin and her team was an absolute dream - she spent time and showed incredible care with us at each appointment and I could not have been happier to wear her beautifully designed dress on my wedding day!

    Jin Wang was exceptionally nice, knowledgeable, and made the experience of finding a wedding dress wonderful! We were looking for the wedding dress as a couple, which was a bit unconventional and Jan was super supportive and helpful. We had about 3 months until the wedding and didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on a dress and so we were looking at sample dresses. Jin Wang had a great selection of sample dresses that were in good condition and very much discounted. We found a lovely Jenny Packham dress that was perfect for the summer with breathable silk materials and incredible handwork/beading and discounted around 80%. It was the perfect unique dress and nothing like what other wedding dress stores carried. Jin Wang then was a tremendous talent in fitting the dress perfectly and working around the beautiful bead work in a limited amount of time... the service was exceptional and we were treated as if one had bought one of the most expensive dresses. The dress was breathtaking on wedding day. In addition I must say that she has a beautiful selection of other dresses that we could not find anywhere else (we went to about 10 highly rated wedding stores). This is a must stop for anyone shopping for a wedding dress and even if you are the unconventional bride do not hesitate to stop by here. The service is wonderful and not pushy at all.

    Jin Wang, Emily, Peony, & Lily were amazing. The shop is impeccable, white, and a PENTHOUSE! They all made my experience worth every trip to San Fransisco. Jin was the sweetest ever, she had to take in my dress twice and it looked perfect. She taught my girls the bustle, taught me how to walk with my father, and everything else you can imagine. She truly is an amazing designer dress designer. My dress was a Tara Keely, but my belt was Jin Wang design and it was breathtaking. The whole process was more perfect than i could have imagined. I love Jin Wang and the crew!

    I loved working with Jin. From my first visit to the final fitting I had the privilege of working with Jin herself and she was fantastic. They were able to ship my dress out of state so I didn't have to worry about carrying it on a plane and come the wedding day it looked absolutely stunning.

    I bought my Angel Sanchez gown from Jin Wang. She was my second stop after Bridal Galleria (which I was sure I wanted a Monique Lhuiller from). The consultants there dote on their brides, catering to every need and whim. It was the first place I went to that I felt like a real bride! Jin was there for all of my trials and she was so sweet and attentive and detail oriented.
    It is amazing and a luxury to be fitted by a gown designer herself. My dress fit like a glove and I felt like a million dollars in it on my wedding day.

    Excellent value, quality and overall experience. Getting a custom dress does away with the headaches and costs of alterations. My dress was beautiful and more importantly comfortable.

    Jin made my wedding jumpsuit dreams come true!

    I could not recommend Jin and her bridal shop enough. I had a specific piece in mind through designer that shipped sample sizes to her shop. Jin's team made this process easy and once they arrived at the shop I got to come into her beautiful space to try them on and others the shop carries. The process felt personal, not rushed and my time and decision felt valued. I did end up choosing the piece I special ordered. Jin's staff then placed the order for me through the designer, measurements were sent and all I had to do was wait for it to be shipped back. Alterations were complicated, due to the piece and my small frame, but I appreciated again and her staff for their professional nature, honesty and expert eye for what alterations were needed. 
    Jin is so sweet and accommodating. I could have sat and chatted with her all day. Again, I felt valued and pampered as we really worked together to try the piece on through the process of alterations and the finished product. Once it was ready, it was shipped to my wedding destination, beautifully packaged. I wish I could go through the process all over again! I enjoyed it so much and am so grateful to Jin, her staff for making me feel like the most beautiful bride in my stunning wedding jumpsuit.

    Jin Wang and her stylists are wonderful. From your first visit as a newly engaged bride-to-be, to the last fitting. They are warm, welcoming, patient, kind and extremely honest and helpful. They made this part of the wedding process painless and enjoyable. I could not have asked for a better experience finding the most beautiful dress.

    I first gave Jin Wang five stars on Yelp just after purchasing my dress there after visiting 11 bridal stores in SF. Not only did I find the perfect dress (finally!) but I tapped into a level of caring, knowledgable, customized service that only continued to exceed my expectations as I continued to have my dress fitted and finished by designer Jin Wang and her charming, professional staff. From the get-go they didn't push me into any decision making (what a change!) but put me in a relaxed state of mind where I felt could really imagine working with them to create my vision. I felt internally compelled to buy the dress the next day! (Had to have it!) Both my mother and fiance agreed that not only was the dress truly special but that I was in really good hands. This held true from start to finish. My work with Jin was the most enjoyable part of preparing for my wedding. From watching Jin pin every last detail at our fitting sessions while we laughed at her warm sense of humor, to her teaching me how to walk gracefully down the aisle and give me advice on how to wrap a handkerchief around my bouquet stem in case I cried . . . I can't imagine anyone more perfect to work with. I will tell you upfront that it is pricey, although I would have paid twice as much just to have had the same wonderful experience. She does carry sample gowns from previous collections at once-worn/sample sale/Glamor Closet prices but in much better condition because of how carefully the staff treats their gowns. I will say that I have no regrets paying "How much?!?!" for such a beautifully crafted dress (by Angel Sanchez, which she carries exclusively in SF) but more so for the patience, unwavering commitment and level of personalized service unlike anyone else in the business just selling you a gown. Service aside, this store carries the goods! Whether Jin's own designs speak to you or some of the other exclusive brands she sells, this is the store for the chic bride with a penchant for luxe fabrics, unique design details, figure flattering cuts and who needs custom attention outside a "standard size" dress. Just finding the dress style you like is half the battle. You must contend with making the dress fit YOU. You forgo the uncertainty of what will happen to any beautiful dress ordered in a standard size to be nipped and tucked in the hands of an unknown-to-you, potentially inexperienced "tailor" with personal guarantee from Jin Wang, a bonafide bridal gown designer that she'll do your fittings and that YOUR dress will fit YOU whether or not it's her design. It's peace of mind worth the price. Even my bustle was absolutely perfect - I looked like a mermaid. If fashion is an important part of your life and you can learn to budget accordingly, want a special experience and a gown that warms your heart, definitely come to Jin Wang to fulfill your dreams.

    I loved my dress! Once it came in, Jin made alterations to suit my smaller stature, and was able to let it out a bit to accommodate the couple of extra pounds I had gained. She took the time to walk me through all sorts of important things at the last fitting, like how to walk in such a big dress, and taught a friend how to bustle. The dress was shipped on time and in perfect condition. It looks fantastic in all of the pictures, and I felt so confident in it.

    My only issue was that the bustle was a little hard to do, and even with the directions, a little bit of the slip was showing underneath sometimes once we had it bustled. Even so, it was perfect.

    The process of finding a dress worked well for me because once I put my dress on, no other dresses could compare. If I hadn't been ready to buy a dress that day, it may have been difficult to make up my mind as Jin Wang doesn't allow pictures of dresses before you buy one, so I think that policy is important to be aware of. But they have a great selection and are really helpful in making selections.

    Unfortunatley my dress wasn't complete when picked up. When I went for my last fitting there were two major adjustments that needed to be made. Upon pick-up (day before my wedding) these two things were supposed to be complete. I didn't know this at the time because it is their policy that you don't try the dress on when picking up (b/c of pressing). So when I went to put the dress on (day of wedding) it was too big around hip area and a major part of the dress was incomplete. My mom and hair stylist had to sew me into the dress. After spending 5K on this custom dress I was extremely dissapointed especially b/c you can see the unfinished part of the dress in my photos.

    Awful experience. Jin charged me an obscene amount for money for alterations which were almost the price of the dress itself. She insisted that I didn’t need to try the dress after the final fitting as the last alteration was so ‘minor” However the dress didn’t close when I decided to try it in the day before my wedding day. When I told her, she blamed “weight gain” (it wasn’t, I was the smallest of ever been on my wedding day)
    Dealing with Jin herself was the worst part, she is rude and condescending throughout.
    I would avoid Jin Wang at all costs.
