    The BEST experience w/Chrissy!

    I am SO grateful I found NFBS and had the opportunity to work with my stylist Chrissy. Prior to going to to NFBS, I went to two other bridal stores in Long Island. I had a terrible experience at one store (it was as if the stylist had never seen a full chested woman and brought me the tiniest dresses) and a decent experience at one store and thought I found my dress so was going to cancel my appointment at NFBS but my sister pushed me to go and I am SOOOOO happy I did. NFBS and Chrissy were different than the other stores/stylists and from the moment you walk in you are family and a VIP client. I was very nervous, scared, and worried to go dress shopping because I am self-conscious of my body and gained weight during COVID. NFBS and Chrissy never made me feel self-conscious, had dresses in my size, and made me feel like the MOST beautiful bride to be. Chrissy listened to what I was looking for, what I liked and didn’t like, and ultimately picked out a dress I would have never picked out for myself but looked AMAZING on me, was classic, elegant, and very bridal. For my first appointment I went with my sister and knew I had to come back with my mom. Chrissy came in on her day off to meet with me and my mom. Chrissy was truly the best and I could not imagine getting married in a different dress. I am so happy I said yest to the dress with NFBS and Chrissy and will be going back for an accessories appointment.

    I found my perfect dress!

    I had a wonderful experience at NFBS! I did the VIB appointment and would definitely recommend doing that! My family and I had such a magical day and to top it off... I found my perfect dress!

    All of the girls are so sweet, helpful and knowledgable! I worked with Victoria & Morgan and felt so comfortable in their hands. Not only did they listen to my verbal comments, they could also help me decipher my non verbal feelings. They stayed within my budget and picked out the perfect dresses for me to try on based on what I described I wanted. My family really appreciated how knowledgable Victoria & Morgan were too since they had a lot of questions.

    I definitely suggest booking an appointment here. There are really great photo opportunities too so it's an entire experience!

    Just wanted to hop on and update my review after my wedding! The dress was perfect, I got so many compliments. The dress I tried on had different coloring but with the guidance from the ladies at NFBS, I was able to get my dress in ivory and have the fabric to line to the top. Looking back, finding my wedding dress at NFBS was one of my favorite parts of planning! Again, definitely recommend! I included pictures from the day I bought the dress and my wedding day!

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe's reply:

    Thank you Samantha! We’re so thankful that you came to see us and trusted us with finding your dress! The dress you chose seems just perfect for your overall vision for your wedding, we can’t wait to see how it all turns out. Congratulations!

    Amazing experience! Such a comfortable and welcoming environment!

    Ali made the process so simple and stress free! She listened to everything I was looking for and even used her own expertise to suggest dresses I wouldn’t have picked for myself and I found my dress based on her recommendation! It was my first time going dress shopping and I had no idea what to expect but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe's reply:

    Thank you Marisa! Thanks for making us your first and only stop! We’re so happy for you that you found your dress! Can’t wait to have you back when it arrives! Congratulations!

    Look no further !

    There is no other place to go for your dress. They are amazing. The second you walk in it’s a nice personal experience. Chrissy asked me what I was looking for and when that didn’t look the way I thought she effortlessly switched gears and got me in my dress on the 3rd try. They are all so sweet and let you take your time. Go here! You won’t regret it

    Exceptional Service — NFBS Helped Me Find the Perfect Dress!

    I couldn't be happier with NFBS — not only did they help me find my perfect wedding dress, they went above and beyond in terms of their customer service. I worked with Ali, who was fun, personable, and knowledgable and who communicated with me every step of the process.

    10/10 recommend this business!

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe's reply:

    Thank you Sarah! We're so happy you had a great experience and Ali was able to help you find the perfect dress! We hope you're loving married life!

    Amazing Experience and Great Customer Service

    I rate NFBS 10/10!! ✨ I found my dream dress, which was not exactly what I always pictured. I’m always very indecisive and Sophie was so patient with me while I tried on dress after dress. They also made sure they stayed within my budget. Everyone I interacted with was so kind and friendly.
    I had went to 3 different places before north fork and this was by far my best experience. They treat every bride as special as they deserve to be treated. Not to mention the place is so adorable. Plenty of photo ops.
    Thank you NFBS for helping me find my dream dress and giving me the BEST possible experience while doing so 💖

    Thank you Jennifer! We are happy to hear you had a great time with us and of course so happy for you that you found THE dress! Thanks for choosing us to shop with, congratulations!

    beautiful dress shop with personable employees

    I have seen some mixed reviews on here about North Fork Bridal but I had a wonderful experience. I went during peak COVID in October 2020 and the store is huge so I had my own corner of the store, it literally felt like no one else was in there. Being inside the store feels like being inside the most instagrammable store - it is beautifully decorated, down to the bathroom. This was the only place I went to try on dresses, and the dress was probably the 5th dress I tried on. I am usually the most indecisive person so the fact that I found the dress at the first visit was a total surprise. I had such an emotional reaction to the dress and even cried a little when I put it on. I went on a day where they were having a trunk show, left with my dress at a discount with a free belt and a bouquet of flowers. When I went to pick up my dress, and try it on, I expressed to the attendant that I had back acne that was problematic with my very open back dress. She recommended a product that legit cleared it up in like 2 weeks at most, and I still haven’t had another bout of it (SLMD salicylic acid spray if anyone was wondering -worked miracles). Would highly recommend them.

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words Ali! We are so thankful that you chose to come and shop with us, and happy to hear we were the only stop you needed to make! It was a pleasure helping you find your perfect dress, and we wish you all the best in married life!

    Love this shop!

    I had been following NFBS for awhile and they posted one of the attendants modeling an Essence of Australia dress. I took a screenshot and when I went in for my appointment it was the first dress I tried on. I knew it was my dress the second I put it on, but tried on a few more to make sure. The entire staff is so sweet and the ambience in the shop really makes you feel like a princess. I used their seamstress Tatiana which I was really nervous about after seeing some reviews, but she was so kind to me and did a beautiful job on my dress.

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe's reply:

    Thanks Krista! So glad you had as much fun working with us as we did with you! Please send photos we would love to see how it all turned out! Congratulations!

    Top of the line

    From the second you step into this gorgeous shop you are blown away. It is totally stunning. The staff are professional, experienced and so sweet! Kayla made all of my bridal dreams come true! I was not sure of the silhouette or the style gown I wanted and Kayla made sure to pull gowns that would help me to figure out what I was looking for. My LORD did she help me pick the most beautiful gown! I was stunned that I found my gown within the first appointment. From the gown shopping, to fittings, to alterations, to the day I picked up my gown to bring her home, Kayla and the staff made me feel like family. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making my bridal dreams come true. I will continue recommending all to North Fork Bridal for an incredible bridal experience.

    Thank you Christina! Brides like you make our job so fun! It was always a pleasure having you in the shoppe, and you look SO BEAUTIFUL in that dress! So happy all your bridal dreams came true! Thanks for shopping with us and congratulations!

    Great Service

    My sister and I were both getting married around the same time and we both had great experiences with NFBS. We were both Covid brides, so we originally got our dresses in the old shoppe, and got fitted in the new one. Both were gorgeous shops with great staff. We had many different people help us over the years and delays, and every single one was accommodating, friendly, and helpful. My dress was perfect, as was my veil. Very proud to be a North Fork Bridal Shoppe bride!

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe's reply:

    Thank you so much Tara! It was always such a pleasure to see you, Elissa and your mom coming into the shoppe! We're so happy you guys had a great experience and could finally enjoy your perfect days! We hope you're LOVING married life!!

    Great Experience, Great Dress

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe really knows what they're doing! They made the experience so fun and exciting. It's exactly what you imagine when shopping for a dress. I worked with Arlene last October and she was the absolute best. I have some body issues so I came wearing Spanx and she immediately chastised me! She said my body was beautiful and really gave me the boost I needed before putting dresses on. She also extended our appointment so I could try on more styles to convince me to see my body differently! I definitely fell in love with my dress but it was Arlene and the experience at NFBS that really sold me.

    I ended up with an All Who Wander dress (Raine) and it was definitely not what I pictured myself in but it is still the most beautiful dress I've ever seen and it fit the mood and the day so perfectly. Highly recommend visiting NFBS!

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe's reply:

    Ummmm you look GORGEOUS! We are so happy that you were able to see just how beautiful you are and find a dress that is equally as amazing! It was our pleasure helping you and having you as an NFBS bride! Please email us some of your photos (info@northforkbridalshoppe.com) we would love to see more & share your beauty on our instagram! Congratulations!

    Amazing Shop with Amazing Staff

    My best friend went to North Fork for her wedding dress last year. After a long search, she was able to find her dress there. While we were there, I fell in love with their shop (before they moved) and the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful! I decided it was going to be my first stop for dress shopping this year. I had the pleasure of working with Scott who was absolutely amazing! He listens to everything and adjusts what he picks to find the perfect dress! Everyone in the shop was super sweet and helpful and made the process so amazing. It is a definite must to check them out!

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe's reply:

    Thank you Kerri! We loved having you in our new space and were happy to help you pick out your dream dress! Happy New Year and Congrats!

    Only Place to go

    I ended up getting the recommendation to come here from a coworker. It was truly an amazing experience and I ended up finding the dress and didn't have to look any further. You have their undivided attention from the moment you walk in and are greeted warmly by the staff which was personalized by a welcome sign. They really add that personal touch and listen to what you are looking for. I love that they have a screen where you can also see the back of your dress. They are amazing to work with and are not pushy and really want you to be happy. I even came back and got an engagement shoot dress here from a sample sale. Everything worked out smoothly which was particularly comforting during these crazy COVID times.

    Beautiful gowns and people!

    I had such a wonderful experience. I went in with no expectations and Scott delivered with a perfect gown. Since it was my first experience dress shopping, I wanted to check out a few other spots before committing. No other dress or shop compared and I found myself looking back at the pictures of the dress I fell in love with. I made another appointment and said yes to the perfect dress! From start to finish I had a wonderful experience.

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe's reply:

    Thank you Brittany! That is so kind of you to say about our shoppe! We are so glad that you had fun working with Scott and that you came back to say yes! We are so thankful to have you as an NFBS bride!

    Amazing Experience

    This place is everything. Its a beautiful shoppe with the most attentive workers. I purchased a dress at a different place originally and ended up not liking it and headed out to North Fork. It was well worth the hour and a half drive for me. I had the best day with my mom picking out a dress there. Scott was beyond helpful and friendly. He stayed within the budget and he picked out the best dresses. Their selection was incredible. Their seamstress was also amazing and knows what she is doing. She was super accommodating. They made the whole dress shopping experience stress free.

    North Fork Bridal Shoppe's reply:

    Thank you Devon! It was a pleasure working with you from the day you came to shop until your big day! We can’t believe it went by so quickly! But you looked gorgeous and we were so happy to have been able to help! Congratulations!
