    Found the perfect dress is a great boutique!

    I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Doreen and her shop! I came in with a very specific idea for the style bridal gown I wanted. In fact, Doreen had ordered a dress I saw online through her catalog free of charge, and it was ready for me when I arrived for my appointment. However, this style that I envisioned didn’t work well for my body type. Doreen was kind and patient as my mom and I looked at various gowns ands styles. She expertly guided us through this process so much that I felt beautiful the whole time, and she helped me maintain my confidence in finding the perfect dress, which I did! Doreen absolutely knows what she is doing and what style of dress looks good on a body. The dress I found is not a style I initially considered, but she brought out this beautiful gown and recommend I try it. The moment I saw myself in the mirror wearing this dress, I teared up. I saw myself walking down the aisle to my fiancé in this dress and I knew it was it. I would not have found my perfect dress without Doreen’s sage advice. I encourage women of all ages to come here to find the gown you’ll love and to have a wonderfully positive experience!

    Beautiful Dress

    Doreen helped me find my beautiful wedding dress. She’s a small business owner so she does the consultations and alterations herself. Lots of gowns to try on, a comfortable space to try them and show the ladies.
    Doreen also did my alterations and was super helpful. I had most of the train removed from my dress so she had to hem it. It’s surprisingly hard to stand up straight for a long period of time, but Doreen was really good about asking if I needed a break and sending me home when she could tell I was getting tired.
    I highly suggest Doreen and the Cinderella Cellar! She’ll help make your dreams come true.

    Very Accommodating

    They don't take appointments, but you will be seen to. Willing to work with my budget. Doreen offers all types of solutions and ideas which provides more options. Plus, she does the alterations!! Large selection and maybe too many choices! :-)
    I had so many compliments on my gown. It was just a bridesmaid dress done in white, but I was told I looked like a Greek goddess!

    Professional, high quality work from a lovely person!

    Doreen is amazing! She does amazing, quality work and she worked with me and my schedule so well. She had to do some major alterations on my wedding dress since my body is so disproportionate, but it fits like a glove now and I'm so in love with it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making my beautiful dress so perfect!

    The Cinderella Cellar's reply:

    You looked so beautiful in your gown! So glad that you felt good in it. Wishing you the best!

    Sincerely,
    Doreen

    Gallagher Wedding

    Doreen was so amazing! I called on one of her days off regarding alterations and left a message and in the message I mentioned my wedding date and she immediately picked up the phone in a panic because it was so close, she got me in the next day and was able to alter my dress within a week. I also brought her my reception dress to see if she can add a bustle and she was able to do that that same day and steam my veil. Her prices are reasonable and she does perfect work!

    I wish I could give Cinderella Cellar more than 5 stars! I live out of state but knew I wanted to wedding dress shop with all the women in my family so we met up in my hometown (Fresno) to do it. Cinderella Cellar was the first (and only!) place we went and we had a wonderful experience! I had a few horrible dress shopping experiences and was about to give up, but Doreen worked her magic and I found my perfect dress at Cinderella Cellar. She was attentive and helpful without being overbearing. She is very knowledgeable and gave me great advice on what size I should get (I'm kind of between sizes) and recommended the option that would work best for me - not just what would make her the most money. The prices were very reasonable, and you know what you're paying for up front aka no hidden fees. I have so much respect for Doreen and she runs a respectful, genuine business that I love. I loved it so much I'm doing my alterations there next time I fly home!

    Another huge bonus was that Doreen let me take the sample dress home to try on for my grandpa, who was unable to make it to the appointment. That meant SO much to me and my family, and he cried seeing me in my wedding dress (it was extra special because he won't be able to see me in it again since he can't attend my wedding in Colorado). This gesture was the kind of thing that you only get with a small, family-owed boutique and it only solidified my love for CC, Doreen and this whole experience :)

    I'm so thankful I happened upon Cinderella Cellar on Yelp, it was a great experience and I HIGHLY recommend any bride looking for a reasonably priced bridal boutique with fantastic customer service!

    Doreen was truly a dream to work with. A reached out to her when I had to get some altering done to my wedding gown. I'm a short gal so she had to take off quite a few inches and my dress had about 7 different layers to do. She also had to take in my dress about 4 inches (2 on each side) and add a bustle. The part that really amazes me was that my dress had intricate lace appliques throughout the dress and Doreen removed them and sewed them back on once the dress alterations were all done. By the time she was done it fit like a glove and looked perfect, like it came straight from the manufacturer made for me specifically.

    I initially came here in early 2017 to purchase a bridesmaid dress for a friends wedding. Doreen was super helpful and did alterations herself and was very affordable. So of course when I got engaged I had to come here. I purchased my wedding gown from the Cinderella Cellar in May 2017.
    We recently went looking for bridesmaid gowns as well and all three of my bridesmaids found beautiful gowns for the wedding. Doreen made a special appointment to open up just for us which was so sweet of her! Plus I got to try the sample version of my dress on again and it is just stunning I am still so in love with it. We also found the perfect belt accessory to compliment the sweet simplicity of my dress.
    This is a DIY dress shop. You get to look through the racks and find dresses you might like. If that's not your thing, Doreen is great and if you tell her what you want or show her a picture she pulls the perfect gown off the rack for you to try on.
    I've been to other shops like David's Bridal and it just isn't the experience I wanted and to be honest, the gowns aren't that much cheaper in price. Doreen is typically at the lower end of what sellers can sell gowns at and I would highly recommend the Cinderalla Cellar to any bride!

    I came here to have my wedding dress altered. I was nervous because it was very delicate: lots of layers, unhemmed tulle, and intricate beading. It fit well for the most part, but was extremely long and needed to be shortened.

    Doreen made the process painless. She set an appointment for me before the shop opened so I could have her undivided attention. She took her time pinning the dress and having me move around in it each time she made an adjustment so I could be sure I was happy with the length. She gave me options for shaping the hem if I wanted to and recommendations on the right length for certain shoes (I had not finalized my shoe choice at the time). After we’d settled on the length, she bagged the dress, gave me a ticket, and told me to allow about 4-8 weeks for alteration.

    To my surprise, she called me about a week later to let me know my dress was finished! I came back to the store for a final fitting and it was perfect. Not only was the hem perfectly even and exactly where I needed it, but you would never have been able to tell it had been shortened. There was no bead disturbed, no weird edges. She had also reinforced the zipper in an area I had been worried about. My dress fit perfectly on my wedding day and I loved wearing it.

    I also brought my dress back to Doreen after the wedding for her to clean it and preserve it for me. When I dropped it off, she explained the cleaning process and checked to make sure my dress was the right material for the type of cleaning she does. She finished about a month later and it was beautifully boxed and ready for me to take home.

    Doreen was a great resource for us! Her shop has a wide variety of styles, I bought my wedding dress, bridesmaid and flower girl dresses here-as well as alterations. I bought my wedding dress first, and had such a good experience that I came back to buy other dresses for my wedding as well. She was very flexible and was able to order the exact style and shade of veil that I was looking for. She is a very sweet and accommodating professional, would definitely recommend!

    I purchased my dress for cheap at a dress store which was closing but I needed alterations. I chose the Cinderella Cellar and I'm 100% glad I did. I told Doreen my ideas and instead of a puzzled face, like I expected, she gladly accepted. And her prices were reasonable. I'm so happy I chose the Cinderella Cellar, one less stress for this bride.

    Doreen at Cinderella Cellar is so nice, she let us come in last minute and was very accommodating even with a smaller shop. She carries so many beautiful gowns and keeps a variety of sizes on her racks so every bridal can try something on! She also has a great price range. I would definitely recommend every bride stop by The Cinderella Cellar!

    Where do I begin? I'm a low-key bride and can't handle the pushiness of mass retail bridal shops so I thought my journey to finding that special dress was doomed. Thankfully, I ended up on WeddingWire and found The Cinderella Cellar. This little quaint shop is amazing. The dresses are beautiful and the owner, Doreen, is the sweetest person ever! Not pushy, very patient, and very helpful to shy brides like myself. I did find something that I loved and wanted to customize the sleeves. I contacted the designer, but sadly the designer wasn't able to do this for me. Doreen came up with many suggestions in making my dream dress come true, but we ended up deciding that a custom dress was the way to go. I took many photos of the dress I wanted, including up-close detailing of the bead-work and went on my way to find a seamstress. Although I didn't find my dream dress at The Cinderella Cellar,I did purchase a wedding dress storage bag from her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this shop to any bride as the service I received was exceptional. Thanks Doreen!!

    Doreen (the owner of The Cinderella Cellar) was incredible. I found a dress that I LOVED in her store. We had to order it in my size (size 2). However, one of the bra cups had been sewed in poorly, and between that and the difference in size, the dress looked really different. I didn't know what to do, since I wasn't even sure if I still liked the dress. Doreen sent the dress back to get the bra cup fixed. But she told me that if I still didn't like it when it came back, then she would give me a refund. That was really generous of her, since the manufacturer wouldn't give her a refund, and she probably wouldn't have been able to sell the dress, since it was so small. So she was willing to lose money on the dress in order to help me out.

    I fell in love with the dress again when it came back, though we had to send it back again to get some buttons on the back fixed. Throughout this whole process, Doreen was very patient and helpful. And on top of everything else, she even hemmed my dress for free, because of all the trouble we went through with the manufacturer of the dress! I can't recommend her and the Cinderella Cellar highly enough.

    Doreen, the owner, was awesome. She opened early so that I could come in and try on dresses with my mom and maid of honor. We had the shop to ourselves and it was such a great experience. Doreen pulled out some beautiful dresses for me to try on and I ended up picking one! She was helpful but not pushy, which was perfect. I'm so excited to go in for my first fitting; I only wish I didn't have to wait 5 more months for the dress to come in! I would definitely recommend a visit to the Cinderella Cellar!

    Just want to add to my previous review: My dress came in early and Doreen was great with providing the alterations in a very timely manner. She took care of everything I asked. My experience with the Cinderella Cellar was overall awesome! Whether you are looking for a dress or need someone to alter the dress you already bought, I would definitely recommend this shop!

    Doreen was amazing! I had purchased a dress at another bridal shop and needed alterations done. I emailed her and within a day I had an appointment set to go in and see her. Best of all she worked around my schedule. She had my dress completed in plenty of time for me to look and feel beautiful on my wedding day! Thank you Doreen!

    Doreen, (the owner), is amazing. As soon as my family walked through the door, she saw my twin toddler nieces and directed them to a bunch of toys in the shop which was a blessing. She asked me what I was looking for, and all I had to say was "something that will fit, and flatter me". My bridesmaids had picked a few off the rack, but the two that she brought for me were the winners! It was hard to decide which one i liked more. She knows what she is doing, and she knows what will look good on her customers! There were other brides in the store, but she is excellent at multi-tasking. I never felt any pressure from her, and the two dresses she had picked for me ranged low to high in price. I am a bigger girl and she had dresses in a wide range of sizes and budgets, which is very important to me. I told her I was going to Davids Bridal, (just to please my sister), and she smiled. ( I think she knew that I was going to come back). I am so glad I went here first!!! I knew that was THE ONE when I was walking away.
    There is no quality to the dresses at Davids Bridal, and I tried on ten before giving up, and the sales people only care about the money, and put a BELT on the dress to make it pretty. A dress should never need a belt for you to love it.

    Bottom line: Cinderella Cellar is fantastic, and has BEAUTIFUL dresses. They look and feel beautiful, and have so much detail.
    OH, and a huge plus was that there are little fans in the dressing rooms! It gets hot trying on dresses, so that little touch of a fan in the room tells me that she cares about the comfort of her customers. Go here first!

    Loved that the owner did all the work herself. She had many dresses to chose form and found the one there after looking at other places. Just loved the place and easy of working with the owner.

    Oh my goodness! this place was a godsend!!! I purchased a dress from davids bridal ( something i would never recommend. ) and it was horrible after i got the end result. so with 3 weeks before my wedding I stumbled across this beautiful store. not only was i able to get a reasonably priced dress ( seeing as i havent received my money back from davids bridal) . the dress wasnt just easy on my wallet it was gorgeous, perfect !. the service was amazing! Doreen the owner was such a lovely lady, one of few i have had the pleasure of meeting that work in the wedding industry. she knows your style before even talking to you. so helpful and such a kindhearted person. you are making a mistake if you pass up on this store! i am telling all of my family and friends to shop here from now on. thank you so much for being my fairygodmother ! you made it possible for me to have my dream wedding when i had lost hope!!!

    Can I just say Doreen is amazing! She is so sweet and helpful! My older sister and I both got our dresses from here. She had variety of styles and prices. It was so easy, one of the only stress free aspects of wedding plans . Definitely go in and check out this shop, I'm so glad I did.

    I had my wedding dress altered here: hemmed, bustled, belt hemmed, and ended up added a hoop the day I went to pick it up. She seemed a bit irritated that I wanted to add a hoop last minute (but what bride doesn't make last minute changes) but she ended up taking the hoop out of an old dress she had and put mine together and had to me the next day.
