    I will never go anywhere else

    I bought my wedding dress here. My mom got her mother of the bride dress here. All my groomsmen, ring bearer and fathers got their suits here. I will never go anywhere else for suits/formal wear again!
    Everyone here is so amazing and friendly. I loved how they worked with us so easily like we were family. I love this place so much!! You will definitely be able to find what you want here.

    Pics of my dress and my husbands suit. Wish we could have bought his suit instead of just rent tho, he looked FINE🥵♥️

    Part of the family!

    Immediately when I walked in to Marien Mae boutique, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff. I had booked an appointment to try on a dress I found online and brought my mom and sister. Lana, our consultant, couldn't have been nicer! She pulled so many amazing dresses for me to try on including the one I initially wanted to try on. She listened to exactly what I liked/disliked and helped me pick out the dress of my dreams! I have my first try on appointment in a week and I cannot wait to go back!

    Great Experience

    I had gone with a friend to get her wedding dress at Marien Mae and knew that’s where I wanted to go to look for my own. Not only do they have a great selection of dresses at affordable prices, but the whole staff was kind and caring. My mom had recently had surgery and couldn’t go up stairs, so the staff made sure we could have our appointment downstairs and even stayed a little after closing so we could do it. Susie helped me find my dress, and even brought out different tuxedos so I could see what it would look like next to the color we were thinking. Lana helped me when I went to pick up my dress, and she helped me choose the perfect hair accessory. Thanks for a great experience!

    Amazing staff!

    All of the staff at Marien Mae are extremely friendly! I am so happy I bought my wedding dress here. Susan was extremely helpful and definitely wanted to find me the most gorgeous dress that fit my budget. I am so happy with my experience here and how beautiful everyone there makes you feel while trying on each dress.

    Personalized, friendly service

    I knew from the beginning that I would be purchasing my wedding dress from Marien Mae. What I didn't realize was how wonderful the staff was going to be to work with. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. I was blown away that every time I walked through the doors they called me by name and knew exactly when our wedding was. My dress was everything I had envisioned, the tuxes were the perfect compliment to our overall look, and the linens tied the table decor together. Hands down the best service!

    Marien Mae Bridal Boutique & Events's reply:

    Hi Danielle! We are so happy that you enjoyed the experience as much as we loved helping you! We appreciate you putting your trust in us with your gown, tuxes, and linens. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you with your big day. Congrats on your beautiful wedding and many blessings on your marriage!

    Beautiful shop, great people!

    I originally came to Marien Mae with my bridesmaids just to look at styles, but we loved the dresses there and the customer service so much, we decided to order each girls' dress from there. The shop is so cute and everyone who helped us was so kind. The staff kept me updated on which girls still needed to make payments and style decisions, and let me know as soon as the dresses came in and were ready to pick up. I loved using Marien Mae and would recommend them to anyone!

    We rented the linens for our wedding from Marien Mae and were very pleased! We rented linens for our guest tables, cocktail tables, head table, and other long tables such as favor & guestbook tables, as well as matching napkins. Our consultation was very informative and helpful, and we chose 2 different linens colors to accent our décor; Marien Mae’s staff was wonderful in helping us reach this decision, and even ordered linens in our second color! They delivered & set up our linens the day before our wedding and did a great job working with our venue and coordinator! I would highly recommend Marien Mae’s linen services for any special event!

    I cannot say enough about Marien Mae's customer service. Due to a unexpected shipping delay out of Marien Mae's control it looked like my dress may not make it before we had to leave for my daughter's destination wedding. They treated the situation with honesty and did everything in their power to keep my stress minimal. They made me feel confident that they would do everything in their power to make the situation right and kept me updated throughout. I am happy to report my original dress arrived and the back up dress they held on reserve for me was not necessary! Marien Mae has beautiful dresses, a friendly, helpful staff and an owner(Amanda) that treats every customer like they are truly someone special & important to them!! Thanks Marien Mae for helping me find the perfect dress to feel beautiful at my daughter's wedding.

    Our experience at Marien Mae was beyond amazing! The staff that we interacted with were all so friendly and welcoming. Susie, my consultant, was wonderful to work with. She was incredibly knowledgeable, truly wanted to help me find the perfect dress, and helped make the process go smoothly. They have a great selection of dresses, and I was able to try on so many beautiful gowns and find the one for me! The boutique is beautiful, the atmosphere is perfect, and the whole experience was exactly what I was hoping for. I can't say enough great things about this shop and its staff, and I will always recommend Marien Mae to others in the future. What an amazing place!

    i love love love this bridal shop!! It's such a gem in the burbs! Erika was amazing and I highly recommend her. Not only was she very polite but gave just enough of her opinion and expertise to make you feel special. I drove an hour and a half to get here after my hairdresser recommend it and it was well worth the drive. They went above and beyond to make the experience feel magical. My budget of $1,500 was very warmly welcomed. I ended up purchasing the dress Erica picked out and could not be happier. Everyone should take example of the personalized service from this place. Thanks Erica and Marien Mae!!

    We order our chair covers and some tablecloths from Marien Mae. Everyone that we spoke with was extremely helpful. It was well worth the money spent to have them set up and remove all of the chair covers and bows. The room was ready to go when we arrived to decorate and we didn't have to worry about it at the end of the night. And best of all, we didn't have to tie a single bow! I love, love, love their sparkly table cloths. They are a little spendy if you are looking to use them on every table but it looked great on our cake table.

    If you are from the area, do not even go to the suburbs or the city to go dress shopping...the best boutique is here! The BEST service you could ask for and the sweetest people to work with. Susie is amazing. After the first day meeting with them, they instantly knew my name every time I went in the boutique after, which makes you feel special! I am sad that my wedding is over and I won't have a reason to go into the boutique! I got my dress, accessories, mother of the bride dress, and gold chair rentals from them.

    I have nothing bad to say about Marien Mae. The gowns here are beautiful and the service is great. I was stressing about not finding a wedding gown I loved at previous places I visited, but I loved so many that I tried on at Marien Mae that I had a hard time picking just one! Sure, the gowns here will cost a little more than those at some popular chains, but the quality far surpasses them! My mom also found a great dress here to wear for my wedding.
    I will be returning to Marien Mae in the future if I need to buy a special occasion dress!

    Having worked in the bridal industry for years, I have been to hundreds of bridal stores but few live up to my expectations like Marien Mae. This is what a bridal store should be! From the moment I walked in, I was pampered and made to feel special. It is a beautiful store with amazing employees. Everyone there made me, my friends and family feel like we were the only ones there. They allowed us to take plenty of pictures and we even used their wiFi to Skype my sister and mom who live in different states, it was perfect! I found my dress there but it wasn't exactly what I wanted so the owner called the company and asked to make the minor changes I wanted done to the dress. it turned out perfect!

    We used marien mae for wedding dress, mother of the grooms dress, bridesmaid dress, chair covers and table runners, and tuxes. We could not have been more pleased with them. They made sure everything was taken care of and everyone looked great! They are wonderful!!!!

    Best bridal boutique I've been to. The staff is very helpful and the owner is great. It's a one stop shop- we purchased my wedding dress, accessories, the bridesmaids dresses, & MOB dresses. We rented chair covers, linens, & tuxes. We were satisfied with everything we purchased/rented from Marien Mae.

    We went to Marian Mae for our wedding day linens. They did a great job of working with us to pick out the perfect color and quality of the floor length linens and cloth napkins that we chose. We were very pleased with their services and would highly recommend them. I also got my Rehearsal Dinner dress from there, which I absolutely loved!

    I found my dream wedding dress at Marien Mae! They made the whole experience all about me. They really know how to make you feel special. We also rented the tuxes from them. All of the guys loved wearing them so much that they wanted to purchase them (sadly, they could not). They were very quick about ordering a larger jacket size for my husband. We ordered it 2 days before the wedding and it was in the next morning! The one snag we ran into was the mother of the bride dress. It was ordered in the wrong size and color but the owner personally took care of the issue. Overall, we had an amazing experience with this bridal boutique. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a dress in the Illinois Valley.

    I really loved the marien mae experience! It is exactly what you would want as a bride. It is a seriously pretty boutique that takes special care of each of its clients. My Dress is gorgeous and held up all night! I did not do my alterations with them because I have my own seamstress that I love so I cannot comment on that aspect but I loved my dress and all of my bridesmaids dresses. They are a little bit more in price but you are paying for the quality that you get.

    Overall the customer service was pretty good. We did have a total of 9 people including 2 children under the age of 4 so I expected it to be a little bit of a zoo. Our group was split into two, the girls and the guys. I was with my girls and we had Sherri who was super helpful. My girls were able to try on as many dresses as they wanted and any dress they asked for she made sure it was ready for them to try on. I found a dress that I really liked but I didn't see it in the pattern/color I wanted on the floor. When I asked about the pattern/color she went out of her way to find it. For the zoo we created, I think Sherri did an outstanding job of still focusing on the task at hand and getting our goals reached quickly.
    My fiancée and her best man had another consultant, Holly, who helped them with their attire. She was absolutely great in taking my ideas, what they wanted and merging it all together. I met with Holly at the very beginning to provide my ideas and our concept. I left my fiancée and her best man to consult with Holly and she took care of everything. I was able to focus completely on my girls while she took care of helping select the shirts, vests, pants and even ties. Normally, my fiancée relies on me when making decisions for the wedding. I'm not sure what it was but Holly was able to help my fiancée make the decisions regarding the attire.
    I only rated a 4.5 because I was less than impressed with Susie, who seemed to be "in charge". Her attitude was very condescending and just rude. Most of my bridal party has never been in a wedding much less a bridal shop. We are purchasing all of our dresses and renting our tuxes from Marien Mae. When it came to discussing the pricing and how it worked, Sherri wasn't completely sure so she had to ask Susie who seemed irritated that we didn't just whip out our credit card and pay for it without question. As for the rest of the staff of Marien Mae, I think they were all outstanding, friendly and super helpful.
