    Very Cool Experience

    Loved my experience at Spina! It’s exactly what you would think when shopping at a luxury boutique in NYC. They were the only store that offered me slippers to wear around while trying on gowns and browsing their multiple floors. My sales associate Carly was so great and really understood my vision and made really helpful suggestions. I didn’t feel pressured at all to make a decision or try on something I didn’t like. Overall it was a very personable and relaxing experience.

    Amazing Experience & Supportive Team

    I went to Spina without any friends or family to try on an outfit they had in stock. I was worried about going without anyone I knew, but the friendly staff there made me feel like I wasn't alone and gave me amazing advice and company. They were even flexible to let me come back the next week and Giselle basically held a phone to Facetime my mom and take photos for me. When COVID changed our plans, they went above and beyond to help me navigate the situation. They have the most beautiful outfits (I tried on gowns and suits!) and welcoming environment. I absolutely loved my experience there!

    Beautiful gowns, amazing experience

    Spina Bride is a beautiful store and after going to two other bridal shops in NYC, this was by far the best experience. Giselle was lovely to work with, very hands on and attentive - not to mention you have the whole boutique to yourself for the appointment. She made the whole experience so pleasant and fun. I bought my amazing Liz Martinez dress from her and they were able to customize it for me. I couldn't wait to go back to the store when the dress came in. It was truly an incredible experience. Highly, highly recommend.

    I was in a unique situation two weeks before my wedding, and Giselle came to my rescue. She was able to ship the dress of my dreams into her store and sent me to alterations all within those two weeks. My experience at the boutique was top notch and the best in NYC. (trust me, I went to most of the boutiques and designers in the city) It seems kind of crazy to say, but every dress in the store made me feel like a bride. The designers carried at Spina are like no other-they are so unique and beautiful. I am so thankful to the Spina team and feel so grateful to be a Spina Bride.

    This was by far my favorite bridal shopping experience. I didn’t end up buying my dress here because I fell in love with a dress elsewhere, but this was a fantastic place to shop. It felt like being a celebrity – Giselle treated us like star clients, even though my budget was probably tighter than most brides she works with, and the studio is absolutely beautiful, zen and elegant and quiet and full of sunlight. The one-appointment-at-a-time policy goes a long way to making you feel special, and there was tea and slippers for all, as well as lush couches. The west village location also adds to the “celebrity” experience – I had tourists peering in at the windows and giving thumbs up when I came out in dresses, which was hilarious/made me feel fabulous. The dresses are unlike any others I saw in other shops, and absolutely stunning. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dress a little outside the box.

    I didn't buy my dress here but did have a lovely experience. The salon is intimate and beautiful. Everyone who works there is incredibly nice and knowledgable about the gowns. The salon only takes one appointment at a time, and they don't have a lobby, so be sure to show up on time. I came a little early and had to wait outside. They did however, let me know ahead of time that there was no waiting room. Great bridal salon!

    From the moment I entered Spina Bridal shop, I felt special. I was greeted by Giselle who supplied slippers and hot tea for myself and my entourage (two sisters and mother). The space was cozy, well lit, earthy, modern and elegant. I had Giselle full attention during my appointment. She began by informing us about her business and the collections she carried. The gowns come from various international designers, of which she has exclusive access. Her select collection of gowns are unique, beautiful and thoughtfully chosen. Representing more of a gourmet tasting then a smorgasbord feast. Giselle was a welcome respite to the parade of bridal shops I had experienced. She offered personalized attention demonstrating genuine joy for her work. Instead of feeling tolerated by bedraggled employees of larger shops, my experience was one of "playing dress ups" that I remembered as a little girl. Giselle assisted in accessorizing silk gowns with gold crowns, back necklaces, sheer jackets, dramatic lace veils, etc.. She focused on every last detail to help me envision how I would look and feel the day of my wedding. Her professional demeanor was in perfect balance with the relaxed and fun atmosphere. I highly recommend Spina if only for the sheer enjoyment of it.

    Of all the places I visited to check out dresses, Spina was by far the best -- and of course, I found my dress there! Giselle is an absolute joy to work with. She's incredibly kind and makes the whole process relaxing, easy and fun. It's worth checking out the shop because she's done all the heavy lifting, picking out all these gorgeous dresses from designers around the world. I found the perfect dress there (I hadn't seen anything like it anywhere else!) and Giselle was completely brilliant about how we could alter it (neckline, sleeve, train, etc.) to be exactly what I wanted. She's also a pro at measuring. The dress came in exactly as we'd hoped and Giselle was more than flexible on letting me pick a time to come by (I've got a sneaky feeling she even opened up the shop early for me...). Easily the best part of wedding planning so far!

    Simply the best! I traveled from the Caribbean to New York in hopes of finding my wedding dress. From the moment I arrived at Spina Bride, I knew Giselle and her team had created something special. The salon is absolutely breathtaking, starting with the attention to detail in the decor to the beautiful & unique accessories and top notch designers they carry. Giselle and her team were fabulous to work with and I could not have asked for a better experience. They took the time to hear my story and helped me find the dress of my dreams. I highly recommend Spina Bride for the bride who wants an experience that is intimate, relaxing and truly a dream come true.

    Spina Bride is absolutely amazing! Wonderful boutique, incredibly helpful staff, beautiful space, and the dresses are gorgeous! I went to so many wedding dress shops before coming here- nothing compared to my experience at Spina. Giselle is a doll, and provides the best customer service! She took her time, helped me figure out what looked best and fit my personality and never pushed to complete a sale. She also helped my vision shine in a group appointment with my mother, MIL, two aunts and sister in-law. Going there was like spending time with an old friend. Everyone there is so inviting and helpful. My experience at Spina has been, by far, the best throughout all of my planning for anything for my wedding. She even personally delivered my wedding dress to my apartment on the Upper East Side! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Spina. I referred Spina to another friend who was looking, and she had the same wonderful experience that I did. You will not regret visiting the boutique and spending time with Giselle and her stunning collection of wedding dresses. :)

    Bought my dress at Spina Bridal

    I walked by Spina Bridal when I was in NYC just before I had gotten engaged, and I said to myself 'If and when I get engaged, I want to go there to try on dresses."

    About a month later, I was engaged, and several months after that, I had an appointment at Spina to try on wedding dresses. It ended up being the only bridal shop that I went to. I purchased a dress there that day.

    The customer service was excellent throughout my whole experience, starting with Kendall who was the bridal associate I had my appointment with. They allowed me to look through the racks myself and decide which dresses I wanted to try, rather than having a sales associate pull them based on what they think I would like. I found a couple dresses I really loved, and decided to leave to sleep on it. About an hour later, I felt like I didn't have enough information to make my decision(my sister didn't take the best pics), so I called them up and asked if I could pop back in. Kendall was super accommodating, got me back in within an hour, and I purchased a dress that day.

    Fast forward to my wedding approaching, and the customer service at Spina continued to be exemplary. The owner, Giselle, was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, and I can really thank her, Spina, and the designer of my dress, Santos Costura, for making me feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day.

    Disappointing experience

    I went to Spina in Chelsea as the first place to try on a dress, as it was recommended to me by a friend. I unfortunately did not have the best experience and was really disappointed in the quality of service that I received. The woman who greeted me was extremely unfriendly and cold, and seemed annoyed to be there. I didn't feel special under any circumstances or find the experience to be a unique one. I did think they had an interesting selection of dresses and although I did not find the dress for me, they definitely have options for others. I look forward to another experience.

    It was a terrible dress shopping experience

    This was one of the worst shopping experiences I ever had. I would give zero star if I could. I went to the salon this afternoon. The staff who received me and my best friend was incredibly rude. It was definitely not an intimate, relaxing experience that I was hoping for. I learned about the salon because my venue has Spina as their preferred florist and I was very happy to find out that they also sell wedding dresses. But even from the moment we walked into the salon, the lady who greeted us was very cold and not welcoming at all. She asked few questions about my preferences. She did not even ask about my venue, a common question most stylists would take into consideration when they pick out wedding dresses for the clients. She asked my price range and I told her my budget is on the modest end ($3500). My guess was that most dresses there were more expensive than the budget I told her so she was very, very, very impatient. She did not give much guidance or recommendation when we were browsing. Rather, she hastily picked out a few dresses for me. And while I was trying on the dresses, she did not care much whether I like a dress or not. She was definitely rushing me to switch to the next dress. I would only have the dress on for like 2 minutes and she would ask me to change to the next one. There was one dress she did not even bother to clip the back. She simply ask me whether I like it or not and whether it's worth clipping the back for me. How would I know whether I like the dress or not when the dress sits loosely on my body? In the end, there was a dress I really, really love and I asked her the price. Instead of answering me directly, she was like "I'll email you the price and information." And when she did email me, the email begins with "it was great to meet you and your sister today." I did NOT go with my sister. I went with my best friend. Simply because we are both Asians, she just assumed we were related. (Also because she did not even bother to ask who my friend was.) And guess how long our appointment was? It was less than 25 min in total. I booked the appointment for the entire hour! I am still so shocked that I was treated in such an unprofessional fashion simply because I gave a relatively modest budget. The dress I picked out was so pretty and I would very likely buy the dress if the staff had not been so rude to me and my friend.
