    She made my dreams come true

    I loved this place and kind of found it on accident. Best accident ever. They not only had all the styles of dresses that I was looking for but after showing here my pictures, the third dress I put on was it and I love it still even though I’m married now.

    Beautiful dress and great service

    Have you ever wanted to be on "Say Yes to the Dress"? My experience was kind of like that at Wedding Time. I gave them what I was looking for, and they chose the dresses for me. We landed on one that was absolutely beautiful and I put down a deposit right away. What's great about this place is that after the deposit, you can change your dress as many times as you want before your first fitting, so you can come in multiple times and pick out a new dress if you so desire! This was great because I didn't have to be afraid of second guessing my choice; if I did, I could just simply change it. What's also great about this place is that all the alterations and jewelry rental is included in the price! This saves a great deal of money. They have a lot of variety in dresses as well, definitely give this place a try!

    Amazing service & beautiful dress!

    I bought my pronovias wedding dress here and I am soooo happy and thankful I did!! Christina is very attentive and catering to your needs!! I was being an indecisive bride and even changed my dress order after I confirmed a different dress and she never got upset or judged me and did everything she could so that I was happy. She is willing to work with you on a fair price and veil and accessories rental are included. I shopped around a bit in ktown and felt Wedding Time was the most reasonable in price, especially with the customer service that you get and alterations included as well. And also they are not pushy at all with your budget or needs!!

    After I received the dress, there were some issues with making the bustle because the material was so heavy and Christina even stayed up at night stressing about it and she really wanted it to be functional, but also look the way that I'd want. We had to trim the train and came up with a solution for the bustle and everything turned out PERFECT!! She changed around her schedule so that the dress would be ready for me to take up to norcal. All the alterations also turned out great and they were very meticulous with even adding more lace on certain parts of the dress.

    I can't thank the wedding time staff and Christina enough!!! The dress fit like a glove and they made me feel so comfortable and beautiful in it! I don't think you'll get this kind of attention anywhere else in Los Angeles so whether you are renting or buying, definitely get your wedding dress at Wedding Time!!

    Gorgeous dresses to make you happy!

    Wedding Time was the first and only wedding dress rental place I went to and I cannot emphasize enough what a fantastic place it is. From deciding start to finish, it was a phenomenal experience. They have such beautiful dresses in their homey/boutique parlor and the quality to price ratio is just unbeatable. They were so good at gauging what fit me in terms of body and personality (in the short time I was there) and eventually they brought me THE dress that I absolutely adored. The staff is so pleasant and great at their jobs. After the fittings, my dress fit like a glove! And let me tell you, I felt so fabulous and beautiful on our special day and I received so many compliments on my dress. Many people asked me where I got my wedding dress and I proudly recommended Wedding Time to their future wedding needs. They offered me a great option in wearing a higher-quality dress at a fraction of the price. In addition, the fact that alterations, cleaning, and accessories are all included in the rental price is just mind-blowingly awesome. I’m so lucky I can live in an area where wedding dress rental is even an option. I LOVED my dress but did I want to have a wedding dress sitting in my closet for who knows how long? No, not for me. I want to reemphasize how great the ladies that work there treated me. Full disclosure, it rained before the start of my wedding and the wet ground wasn’t the best condition to wear a rental dress plus I danced the night away. This resulted in a not-so-perfect condition at the time of return for the dress and I was fully prepared to pay for any damages or additional cleaning fees. But the ladies at Wedding Time just told me they are happy I had such a great time and sent me on my way with no additional fees or criticism. They didn’t have to do that but it just goes to show how much they care about their brides.

    Out of all the rental bridal salons in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Wedding time was the most professional. Other salons simply wait for you to pick out your dresses and then insult or compliment you on your choices (generally more insulting than complimentary). However, with wedding time, after asking a couple questions Amy quickly picked out several dresses and I fell in love with the first dress she picked out for me. Although it was very simple, Amy dressed it up with a off shoulder lace jacket and long veil with lace trimming and it was beautiful! They ended up customizing the veil for me and you simply cannot beat the price for their quality of service. 3 alterations are also included in the price. My dress felt tight on me because there was a corset in the bodice of the dress, but I would like that I never had to worry about my dress falling down. For the reception, I changed out the lace jacket for a simple crystal belt and a beautiful hairpiece that was also part of the rental package. I highly recommend Wedding Time for anyone looking for a wedding dress. Because honestly, who would want to keep a huge puffy dress in your closet forever?

    My coworkers suggested that I rent my wedding dress since they both had done so for their weddings and had a wonderful experience. The place they went to didn't have great reviews, so I went to google and yelp to find alternative wedding dress rental locations. Several google searches and yelp pointed me to "Wedding Time" which has the best rating out of all wedding dress rental stores within Los Angeles. I'm so glad I decided to rent my dress. The entire experience was amazing! I went 10 months before my wedding date and fell in love with the first dress I tried on. I had no idea what kind of dress I wanted, so I told them I wanted to try on several different styles. I loved the first dress, continued to try on 4 others, put the first dress back on and I was sold! The girl told me that when she saw me she thought about this dress for me and she was right! I was in and out of there in 45 minutes with my wedding dress picked out! =) I went in 4 other times for fittings and the final pick up and every time I was in and out of there in minutes. Everyone is very nice, helpful, and efficient. I ended up renting my wedding dress, veil, earrings, and head piece all for the price of $1,100. Amazing deal if you ask me! I absolutely loved my dress and loved my experience at Wedding Time. And I definitely recommend to all girls out there, to rent your wedding dress. You'll save yourself a fortune and let's be honest, when will you ever wear it/bring it out of the closet again?

    This place is amazing! My friend suggested that I rent my dress instead of buying it, since we were working on a budget. I was hesitant at first, but I would absolutely recommend this to anyone! It is a fantastic plan. I found a dress I loved, but couldn't afford. Wedding Time had the same dress to rent for a fraction of the price. And this price included alterations, cleaning before and after, a veil, belt and jewelry if I wanted them (they even offered to let me take multiple options if I wanted to change accessories between the ceremony and the reception!). They did an absolutely perfect job on the alterations, and I was IN LOVE with my dress and accessories. I was so in love, I was sad to return them, but I am thrilled to know that another bride will get the absolute joy of wearing that dress. And the people here are THE BEST. They are great at their jobs, so flexible (they fit me in at the last minute several times when I had to change my schedule), and just SO incredibly sweet and helpful and lovely. They made me feel so beautiful and so taken care of. It was a delight to go into their shop for each fitting. And the shop itself is so lovely! It's inside a house on a residential street - very boutiquey feeling. Gorgeous, but also homey. I would recommend them to anyone. I hope my friends get married soon so I can take them here :)

    After friends recommended renting a dress over buying (which I agree with now, what would I do with a huge wedding dress in my closet never to be worn again...), I visited six stores in Ktown. Wedding Time had great reviews on Yelp, so I had high hopes, and they delivered.

    -Located in a house, feels more boutiquey
    -Parking is easy
    -Good selection of dresses, more A-line dresses. They didn't have as many tighter fitting/mermaid dresses, if that is what you are looking for
    -A lot of other Ktown wedding dress rental places would now allow you to take photos, but Sue allowed me to take photos. It ultimately helped me decide on a dress later on after having tried on so many
    -Sue and her assistant recommended dresses that they thought would look good on my body type, taking into consideration my taste
    -I brought cash and paid in full, hoping for the best price. Seems like they were higher priced than other locations, but not sure if it was because of the dress I chose (Paloma Blanca)

    The main reason for the five stars is because of their service.

    First fitting:
    Got measured and was in and out (aside from waiting for another client)

    Second fitting:
    They were extremely attentive. They sewed in cups on the bust to make sure it fit well, and most impressive, I was taller (than the average Asian girl), so the front of the wedding dress was on the shorter side. Sue bought lace and sewed in an extra layer in the front of the dress, which I thought was completely above and beyond. They were also very patient as I chose my hairpiece and necklace. They were also open to customizing and making changes on the sash, brooch, etc.

    Thank you, Sue & Wedding Time!

    This boutique was perfect every step of the way. The boutique itself is very cute and very nice inside. Their selection of dresses, though a little small, was great. The girls helped pick out the most perfect dress for me. I purchased the sample dress and it saved me over half of the price a new dress would have been. They also threw in the alterations in the price. One awesome perk that this bridal salon offers is free rentals of veils, belts/sashes, hair accessories, and jewelry. This gives you more flexibility to have what you really want and not having to worry about breaking the bank. The ladies working at and running this boutique are very sweet, helpful, and bridal knowledgable. I recommend this wedding dress shop to anyone who wants a great dress and great service.

    Sue and Tracy from Wedding Time were there for me from day one. When I say day one, I mean, it was my very first visit to a bridal salon. Within minutes, my mom and I found THE dress. It was a Mikaella mermaid style dress. I didn't think I would like the style, but once I tried it on, I fell in love. I didn't think finding a dress could be that easy and Sue was very understanding when I said I wanted to hunt around just a little more. After a few visits to some other salons I decided to go back to Sue and put down a deposit.

    I was an out of town bride and Sue was kind enough to let me stop in whenever I was in town to try on my dress one more time just to be sure it was still what I wanted. Tracy handled all my alterations and made the dress fit like a glove! She even included a modesty bone for less busty girls like me to keep the dress from gaping when I bent over or leaned in any direction. The dress was a hit on the wedding day and was topped off with a free veil and jewelry rental. I couldn't be more grateful to such a great team I found in Sue and Tracy.

    Wedding time in LA. We decided to rent. Sue was so helpful in picking out the right dress and altering it beautifully. She was really flexible top stars for all above. She provided matching accessories such as flower hair clip, necklaces, earrings, and a variety of veils to choose from. We had a total of three fittings. And she allowed us to take the dress several days before to fit our schedule. My husband loves the dress!

    Sue, the owner of Wedding Time, was really great helping me pick a dress. She has style and knows exactly what type of dress you need to go with your body type. She also will provide you with alterations and includes jewelery in your rental. I would recommend Wedding Time to anyone who wants to rent a coutour wedding gown.

    If only there were an extra 5 stars to highlight!!! I live in Northern California, my wedding was in Orange County (as I was born and raised there)... but every trip made to LA to see Sue and Tracy for my wedding details were well worth it!!

    Sue and Tracy are absolutely FABULOUS!!! They really know what they are doing and spend so much time with you to make sure that your dress, bridesmaids dresses, tuxedos or whatever it is... is perfect! The best part is, they will go to every extent to snip and tuck away in order to make sure that the details of your dress is EXACTLY what you have in mind. And most importantly, they are so incredibly down to earth and really make you feel that you are in great hands! :) For example, not all of our groomsmen were able to make it to Wedding Time for a second fitting... we would not have been able to see what the tuxedos fit like until literally the day before the wedding. Sue was willing to drive down from LA to Orange County in the evening to make all the necessary adjustments. Thankfully we did not need for her to come down, but if that's dedication to your clients, I don't know what is!

    The short of it all, they are one of the kindest vendors that you will ever have come in contact with. They are loyal to their clients and really make your feel comfortable in their hands. I am referring all my brides-to-be to Wedding TIme! They are undeniably amazing!!!

    Sue from Wedding Time is the best! We rented everything we could from her.....my wedding dress, the bridesmaid dresses, flower girl dresses, and tuxes for the guys. She's really nice, helpful, and truly cares about you being happy! She has a great eye and knows what will look good on you. My mom and I picked out some dresses. Then we asked Sue what she thought would look good on me. The dresses that she picked out looked a thousand times better on me than the dresses that my mom and I had picked out! She did the same for my bridesmaids! I ended up renting a dress that Sue had picked out. She (and Tracy) made sure that the dress was perfect before my wedding day! They are both so nice and caring! I highly recommend Wedding Time!

    Sue from Wedding Time is the best! I was referred by my best friend to go there and found my wedding dress the first try around! I described the style that I liked and Sue went to the back to get a dress that was on hold for another bride. She came out with THE DRESS! I loved it! The fittings and alterations were hassle free and she took the time to fit it to my satisfaction. The rental fee was not too bad. I would have liked to spend less, but the price for THE PERFECT DRESS, that you can't put a price tag on. Service is great and they have a lot of pretty designer dresses there. I highly recommend Wedding Time to anyone who is looking to rent a wedding dress!

    Wedding Time has many beautiful lacy A line dresses that's in fashion now, which I didn't think was what I was looking for at first, but after trying them on, I liked this classic and elegant look much more than the pickup skirt ones that I was envisioning myself in. And Sue was so patient and helpful in selecting my wedding dress. She allowed me to try on several ones, unlike some places, and even put dresses on hold for me, so that I could bring my mom in on a separate visit. She even suggested modifications and additions of these pretty accessories from Korea to make the dress even more unique and beautiful than the original design (she added a satin belt with a blingbling brooch for accent and changed the neckline to sweetheart for my dress). By the way, she does a fantastic job on alteration. I got so many great compliments, even from my florist, on my dress. Thanks Sue!

    I decided to rent my wedding dress from Wedding Time without shopping around at the other places in k-town. I agree that I may have been a bit compulsive due in part that my wedding is in CA when I live in MD, but I put down a deposit to rent dress after trying on 6 dresses. I of course did not know what type of dress would suit me, but I had a lot of suggestions from the staff. For the dress I choose, the price was $850 which included the dress, alterations, veil, and jewelry. But beware, the jewelry rental does not include the sets in the display case, but some sets in the back.

    After putting down a deposit, Sue told me that I could change my dress choice before the alternation process which would occur after the first fitting. Fast forward to 1 mth before the wedding. I fly into LA to specifically for the fitting and I try on a few other dresses. I do choose another one but it turns out to be an extra $100 for the rental, which I agree to pay (along with the remainder of the fee). Then I'm measured and agree to come back out 2 weeks before the wedding. Two weeks before I fly again for the fitting to find that they didn't do any alterations because the seamstress wanted to double check the measurements since the previous girl that rented my dress was super small. I was assured that the dress would be near perfect and any corrections can be easily done. Three days before the wedding I come to get the dress and it fit perfectly, the length though is a bit off due to the asymmetry of the dress. This was fixed while we waited and then the dress was packed up for us to take.

    The dress was beautiful and Wedding Time did a great job on it! I got several compliments :) The main negative is the parking lot. Its small and quickly fills up. Someone that worked at the cell phone place in the same lot was also very rude regarding parking.

    I got my Rosa Clara dress from them, and it was beautiful! They did a great job of altering it to my figure (maybe a little tight though, but I guess most brides want that), and the dress looked amazing! I also rented gorgeous earrings from them. The only snaffu was that they ordered the wrong brooch, but we quickly resolved it and they made a beautiful brooch that went perfectly with the earrings and bracelet I wore.

    Wedding Dress Rental - 5 stars
    Sue listens to your preferences and selects dresses accordingly, but she'll also guide you and make recommendations based on your body type. I had my appointment 8 months before my wedding and tried on 5 dresses (3 based on my preferences and 2 based on Sue's recommendation). I ended up picking a Mikaella gown (style 1750) that Sue pulled for me. I had my first fitting about a month before my wedding (don't worry girls, it's enough time for them) for a total of 4 fittings. As others have already mentioned, Sue and her staff are perfectionists! Due to an old injury, the dress didn't fit my body perfectly. I was fine with it being a bit off center, but Anna was insistent and kept on tweaking the dress here and there to make it fit. Anna also helped me pick out a belt/sash and a veil that paired perfectly with the dress and my day-of jewelry (all of which comes included with the rental). On the day of my wedding, everyone commented on how great the dress looked on me (which they're supposed to do, right?) and that they wouldn't have ever guessed that it was a rental if I hadn't told them.

    Tux Rental - 3 stars
    We also rented tuxes for the groom and groomsmen from Wedding Time. Overall, pricing was fair and the process was fine. The 3 stars are due to the tuxes being a bit worn (which doesn't show in pictures) and us having a bit of a crisis right before the wedding. A groomsman was supposed to pick up his tux 2 days before the wedding, but the a prior wedding party had not returned their tuxes yet and Wedding Time didn't have another tux that fit our guy. They had one day to get the tux back, dry clean it, and for us to pick it up before our Saturday wedding. Upside, things fell in place and we were able to pick up the tux for our groomsman right before rehearsal on Friday. Downside, the groomsman didn't get a chance to try on the tux and realized he sleeves were a bit short. It wasn't really their fault and it wasn't a hu

    I didn't make an appointment but the manager there was very helpful and squeezed me in to help me out. They were willing to negotiate prices and all the dresses were beautiful. You can rent or buy from them. They have wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, and tuxedos.

    I hope that no one experiences what I experienced with Wedding Time. Selecting your wedding dress is supposed to be one of your fondest memories, yet mine was the most stressful.

    I just want to say that I am being 100% truthful in this review and not exaggerating in the least with what I have to say. I am a no-frills kind of girl... After getting engaged in April '09, my mom and sister bought one wedding magazine after another, and I saw "the dress" in one of them... A beautiful, simple Paloma blanca (style 4111). After researching, I found that Wedding Time in Los Angeles was an authorized vendor and they even gave you the option of renting a brand new dress. I called and made an appointment with Sue, the owner. After reading various reviews on Yelp and other places about how nice she was I was excited.

    My first meeting with Sue happened in January '10. I knew I wanted the Paloma Blanca dress but tried on others at my mom and sister's urging. After trying on 3 other dresses, I still loved the Paloma Blanca. Sue then suggested a Mikaella dress (Paloma Blanca and Mikaella are apparently sister house brands) which would save me some money. My wedding was set for September and Sue was very persistent that I needed to order my dress then, that the 8 month timeline I had was pushing it. So I decided I was going to rent the dress (which at $1000 is still pricier than a dress I could've gotten elsewhere but I loved this dress) and paid my deposit. Sue said she would order the dress and call me when it arrived, that it would take about two months.

    Three months later in April '10 I hadn't heard from anyone and so I called, and was told that the dress hadn't arrived. I called two weeks later and was shocked when Sue told me she had "ordered the wrong size" and had to reorder it. Later, I found out that the correct size was ordered, however she had someone who wanted to buy the dress and so Sue unprofessionally gave her my dress to make a bit more money. She said she rushed the order and would call me when my dress arrived. A month later, still no news so I called- no dress. In late July '10, I called again and spoke to the seamstress, my dress had finally arrived! I eagerly made an appointment for a late Saturday afternoon. That Saturday morning I get a call from Sue- UPS had not delivered the dress. At this point I was going crazy... I ordered this dress 7 months ago and hadn't even had a first fitting!!!!

    Sue said she would get the dress if she had to pick it up from UPS herself... A notion I felt she should've done before she even called me. She said she would pick up the dress and come to my house the following Monday. Sunday night I get a call... She had the dress, but there was damage to it. This was when I had my only bridezilla moment.... It was now almost a month until my wedding, if the first one took 4 months to get in, how would she get my dress on time? I desperately went to other dress shops, but it was to late, they could not guarantee I would have my dress on time so I was stuck with Sue and Wedding Time. TWO WEEKS BEFORE MY WEDDING I finally had my first fitting. Thankfully it fit, and minor alterations would be needed. I squeezed in two more fittings and picked up my dress the Friday before my Sunday wedding.

    In short, I would never recommend Wedding Time... My experience was truly stressful. In the end the dress was beautiful, but just not worth it. The dress salon is in Los Angeles, and I live in a city about 30 miles away one way... Getting those fittings in last minute amid all the other wedding madness was just crazy. Not once did anyone call to follow up with me, I was the one who called THEM each time to check on the status of my dress. Truly unprofessional.
