    Beautiful Dresses, Impeccable Service

    Jana from Veka Bridal was fantastic! What really sets Jana apart is her keen eye for what looks good on all kinds of bodies, all delivered in a kind and non-judgmental tone. I am a quick shopper - my appointment was one hour and I ended up choosing the second dress I tried on (out of five) that day. Three of the dresses I tried on were just "for fun" at Jana's insistence that I try on a few more dresses while I was there. My dilemma was that I liked the second dress but preferred the back on the first dress. Jana assured me that it was not a problem to customize the second dress, which I ultimately did.

    While I loved my Rembo Styling dress in the shop, I was a bit nervous that it would look "plain" during my wedding - it was anything but. People commented on how beautiful the lace was (even the photographer!), how "stunning" the dress was, and how much I looked like a "princess." People said things like, "I've never seen a dress like that before - it is so beautiful!"

    I would recommend Veka Bridal to anyone who is looking to stand out from other brides on their wedding day :)

    Exceptional Service and Taste

    The owners at VeKa were a dream to work with throughout the process of choosing and altering my wedding outfit. Absolutely exquisite taste and guidance.

    Absolutely recommend VeKa!

    I cannot say enough great things about my experience with VeKa, and was so happy with my dress! I came across VeKa while walking down Atlantic Avenue with my mom (after visiting several other stores in Manhattan with zero luck), due to a striking dress in the window that caught our eye. We went in, spoke with owners Ksenia & Jana, and scheduled an appointment. Beautifully curated dress selection, varied price range, expert tailoring, and all interactions directly with the owners themselves (who are insightful, thoughtful, and great at their jobs). Definitely recommend VeKa!!!

    Fantastic experience!

    Veka is the perfect bridal salon - the selection of dresses are modern and soft without being too out there, the salon is charming and welcoming, and owners Jana and Ksenia are friendly, knowledgable, thoughtful, and not pushy at all. Jana went above and beyond and saved me when I found myself without a wedding dress two weeks before my wedding, and I ended up with the most perfect dress from Veka. Would recommend Veka to anyone!

    Wonderful Boutique

    I loved working with Ksenia at VeKa! Their dresses are so beautiful – I honestly didn’t try on a single dress I didn’t like. Ksenia really took my budget and style into account and helped me find the most perfect dress.

    Most amazing dress selection and service!

    Jana and her team are wonderful! Their dress selection is amazing! They did an incredible job on my dress and I’m forever grateful for their patience and skill! The dress that I fell in love with was meant for women that have a smaller chest. I’m larger up top and they were able to create a custom size for me. If you're looking for someone who will give you the extra attention you may need I would 100% suggest VeKa Bridal.

    Thank you again!

    Romantic, Offbeat, Unique, and Boho Bridal

    stumbled upon Veka Bridal because they carried one specific boho designer, Rembo. I was pleasantly surprised at the beautifully curated collections of dresses from several uncommon designers that showed a range of styles, but which were all unique and beautifully crafted. The experience you’ll get at Veka is thoroughly personalized and private. There’s no sales pitch or rushed feeling. The owners listen carefully to your preferences, offer recommendations, and also offer their honest opinions.

    VeKa is a NYC gem. Small, personal, intimate, and beautiful. Ksenia and Jana are experts who truly take care of their dresses and their customers. I was moving in and out of New York in the middle of my fittings, and they accommodated my schedule and shipped my dress and accessories. I received so many compliments, not just on my dress but on its tailoring and styling-- all thanks to Ksenia and Jana.

    Thank you VeKa bridal for saving me! Dress shopping was one of my least favorite parts of wedding planning as i thought (and was almost right) that it would be impossible to find a unique and flattering dress for a reasonable price. Went to dozens of stores and I felt like i tried on the same 5 dresses over and over again with a slight variation in detail. Until i came to VeKa! The store carries brands you won't find in many other places and I found the romantic and flattering dress that i was looking for my farm wedding! The girls were also very helpful and great to work with! In-store alterations were perfectly done!

    Jana at Veka Bridal was so awesome to work with! And I found the perfect dress! The boutique is gorgeous -- the store has large windows that allow in all this beautiful sunlight and overlook this incredible garden. This experience itself was also amazing. VeKa has a nice selection of dresses -- some bohemian, some more traditional. And you have the whole store to yourself during your appointment. I never felt rushed or pressured. And the tailoring was perfect!

    I seriously don't have one complaint. Definitely check out VeKa!

    If you're a bride who's getting tired of seeing the same 10 (boring) dresses in every bridal shop, then please visit VeKA! When I'd given up on finding a dress, I went to their shop … and sure enough, they found me a beautiful, different, and unique wedding dress, which was truly special.

    The owners are incredibly helpful, and have real taste and a real knowledge of their stock, designers, etc. They were able to work with me to customize the gown, helped me to find something within my price range, and were very responsive and patient with me throughout the process.

    Highly recommended!

    What a wonderful experience at VeKa. From the moment I walked into this boutique, I felt as if I was in great hands. The dresses are well chosen as they are all elegant, timeless pieces that 30 years from now when you look at your wedding photos, you will still be happy you chose. When you are at VeKa, you are the only client and given full attention, unlike what you would experience at the big bridal shops out there which seem like a nightmare, for which I was not interested. VeKa was the first shop I went into. At no time did I ever feel rushed. Not only did Jana help me with my dress selection and fit, she helped me finish my look with the veil and head piece and gave me advice on shoes and other accessories. The seamstress was very talented and able to take my dress in perfectly despite my shrinking size. Every moment was an absolute joy. If you are looking for a wonderful experience and timeless look, go to VeKa!

    While trying on wedding dresses, I visited a number of boutiques and larger stores in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Generally, I found the experience lack luster, as most dresses in my price point looked very similar and I was completely confused as to how to pick on over another.

    My experience with VeKa was entirely different. Ksenia, one of the two store owners, helped me at my appointment. She provided several styles for me to try on, each one different from the rest, each embodying a totally different look for a different type of bride. She suggested that I try on one dress in particular that I never would have selected for myself, but that ended up being my perfect dress.

    I wasn't sure about the dress in my first appointment. Ksenia encouraged me to take time to think and perhaps schedule a second appointment when I was ready to take another look. In the meantime, I visited additional stores but found myself comparing every dress to the one Ksenia had shown me. When I returned, I tried on only that dress and purchased it on the spot.

    Ksenia, Jana (co-owner at VeKa) and Zuly (VeKa's fantastic seamstress) were all at all of my three fittings. They were all wonderful, friendly, and accommodating, willing to tweak the tiniest aspect of the dress to ensure that it was perfect.

    By my third fitting, Zuly had masterfully tailored my (tricky satin) dress to fit me perfectly. Everyone at my wedding loved the dress and I was so, so happy with my choice. I have never felt more beautiful (and at the same time, comfortable!) than I did in my dress.

    I highly recommend VeKa for any bride looking for a wedding dress to reflect her personality. Their well curated inventory includes short and long dresses in numerous styles and they are a true pleasure to work with.

    You must check out this small east village boutique in nyc for your wedding dress. They work with a range of designers and every dress is extraordinary. I went in thinking I would "just look" but then when I saw the dresses, met the owners (who work there everyday!) and felt the peaceful nad inspiring vibe of the shop, I knew this was the place I wanted to buy my dress. After going to many places to look at dresses, I told them what I liked and they picked out 1 dress for me to try on. It was it! Even though the dress was a little more than I planned on spending, it was totally worth it. When I put it on, I realized it set the tone for the evening. I felt incredibly beautiful. They were never pushy, very relaxed, honest and paid attention to every detail. They have impeccable taste and I promise they will guide you to looking your absolute best.

    I searched far and wide for my wedding dress -- and finally found what suited me, my family, and the venue at VeKa Bridal. Jana was a breath of fresh air from the moment I walked in the door for my first appointment. She was honest and gave genuine recommendations rather than just repeating back to me my own comments about the dresses I tried on (which was what I found at most other shops in NYC, PA, and Minneapolis). I immediately felt I could trust Jana and she understood my taste and hopes for the dress. I did not want to wear what all the other brides I was seeing were wearing, and I found a dress by Rembo Styling that I could adapt a bit to my own particular taste. Unfortunately, that adaptation got lost in translation and when the dress came back to Brooklyn from Belgium/Portugal, we had a few surprises a month out from the wedding --the seamstress would have to rebuild the back from the waist up! Thankfully, Jana and Kseniya were looking out for me and their seamstress, Zully, did an amazing job on an abbreviated timeline. After five fittings, I actually like the finished product more than what I originally ordered off the rack. Jana helped me think about my hair accessories and style, as well as my jewelry with consideration of the dress. She even was in touch with me a couple of days before my wedding to advise on transporting it and steaming before putting it on. I received many compliments on the dress and only wish I had more occasions to wear it... Thank you for thinking creatively with me throughout the entire process.

    Veka is a lovely place to shop! Jana is kind, calm and helpful and the store carries such a beautiful selection of dresses. They were able to accommodate all of my needs - and I was buying a dress pretty close to my wedding date. I would definitely recommend visiting here if you are looking for a somewhat simple and non-traditional yet elegant wedding dress.

    I had a great experience getting my wedding dress from VeKa. The shop is small & they let you come in & look at everything & try anything on you like. I told them my budget & they helped me to stick to it by giving me the option of buying dresses right off the rack. Overall I really enjoyed my shopping & purchase experience.

    The prices are comparable to other wedding dress shops, so it isn't cheap. Also be warned that they do alterations only 1 month prior to your wedding date- totally worked for me, but if you are a nervous type you might need to address this with them prior to your purchase.

    The women of Veka are fantastic. They were the very first shop I made an appointment at, and from the very start "got" what I was looking for -- something a little unique and not an uptight wedding dress. They still encouraged me to try on a range of styles AND to even shop around more before I made up my mind. I went to over 10 other stores (none of which compared in terms of quality of service) and felt confident in returning to Veka to purchase my dream dress (which was one of the first ones I tried on there). From fittings to pick-up, to helping me decide what to do with the dress post-wedding, Veka has been like a supportive parent. I trust them completely and would recommend them to everyone.

    Wow my dress was stunning. It fit perfectly and the material was just beautiful. The women at VeKa were both really helpful and knowledgeable about how the dress should fit and look and they were spot on in their assessments. After ordering the dress, I lost 15 pounds and the dress needed to be taken in quite a bit. I guess this is normal as they didn't even blink an eye and were very reassuring that it would look perfect in the end - which it did.

    Jana was very sweet and understanding of my needs and limitations. She did a fantastic job. The dress was perfect. My only reservation is that I had to wait both time I went, and the second time it meant that the seamstress was in a hurry. In fact, I don't think she did a great job and wasn't cheap either. Next time (!) I'd take my dress to some other seamstress for alterations. :)

    An awful experience at Veka! Bad customer service, running late on appointments, wrong item shipped in (!!!) and even they tried to say I requested that item so i needed to pay to get switched or altered...They know you are only a few away from the wedding and they'll try to squeeze you for more money! AVOID THOSE 2 CROOKS, bring your money somewhere else and be an happy and STRESSFREE BRIDE-TO-BE
