We love Weddings & Dreams!!

Many, many years ago I had bought my prom dress here (when they still sold them) so we knew the owner Arnold, who is the nicest!! A cousin of mine bought her wedding dress here so this was the first (& only) place we went to look for mine -- I ended up picking the first one I tried on! Pricelle was very kind & patient as I tried on a few others, juuust to make sure, but ultimately kept going back to the first. We also got the tuxes for my husband & his best man here - we liked the variety in color options & the rental process was so smooth. Overall, I cannot recommend this location enough!!

Knowledgeable and friendly

Wedding and Dreams Bridal Shop was a delight to work with. They were quick with their appointment scheduling. At the appointment, they were very knowledgeable and helpful. They worked within our budget and made the process seamless. They made a potentially overwhelming experience feel quick, stress-free and memorable. We are so happy that we shopped here!

Amazing! Super clean, and nice staff.

Since the first time Pricelle contacted me about my appointment I immediately knew I made the right decision. They are so nice & attentive. I said yes to the dress on my first day of dress shopping! They have such a wide variety of dresses.

Mindblowing expirience

Hello Future Brides! My expierience with with weddings and dreams has been outrageously amazing! Arnold, Pricilla and Virginia have not just treated me like their own daughter but have also cried along with my family at my final appointment. They have made me feel like a true princess. Please do not skip them, and make an appointment with them, truly they will not disappoint you. They have an amazing staff and I am extremely thankful that. They have made my experience as easy as possible, even with covid being obsticle they kept in communication! I did go to other store like trudys or davids bridal but they could not ever top the experience I have had with weddings and dreams

Fun experience

The shop is small, and it was really busy when I went, but I really enjoyed being helped by Virginia. I went just to look, but ended up buying the third dress I tried on.

Dress of my dreams

My wedding dress was perfect! I felt like a princess! Weddings and dreams really helped me out by shopping my dress directly to me when I moved. Thank you so much for everything and for helping me find the dress of my dreams!

Truly Amazing

I first come across Wedding and Dreams at a Bridal Show in SF. At the shows they had this stunning strapless fitted mermaid dress with the most amazing detailed train. Several months later I happen to be in Ferment for a nail appointment. The shop just happen to be down the street from my nail salon.

I walked in to the shop wirh no appointment and told the wome behind the counter about the dress that I saw at the Bridal Fair. Her name was Virginia and she was so kind and helpful. I showed her a photo of the dress I wanted to look at. She was happy to show me the exact dress. She toke me to the dressing room and helped me into the dress. It amazingly fit like it was ment to be. This was the first dress I had tried on and it was the last.

After a lovely long conversation with Virginia about the dress and how I felt in it, she really made me feel good about the dress. After making the decision on the dress in was such a relief to find out that they had a layaway program that I could take advantage of. I paid an initial amount and agreed upon a monthly payment.

In May the company I worked for relocated and that left me unemployed. I called Weddings and Dreams up and told them the situation. They where so understanding and helping. They where kind enough to allow me to chang the amount of my monthly payment. It was such a relief and helpful to my financial situation.

Today I picked up my dress after making the last payment last week. Virginia was there to help me again anf I come with my best friend Roxanne. I tried the dress again to make sure it still fit and didn't need alterations. NOPE, still fit like a glove. I tried some jewelry on to complete the look. And had another amazing conversation with Virginia. She remembers our conversations from the 10 months ago.

I purchased a garment bag, a bracelet, earrings, and a undershirt for my fiancee. I cant wait to share my dress photos after my wedding on December 1st with Virginia.

Thank you so much Virginia and Weddings and Dreams. You are top notch

I needed a modest wedding gown (which is hard to find in CA) and they have temple wedding dresses! I had discouraging experiences prior to my appt here, but this was so different from my other experiences. The person assigned to help me was so patient and helpful. I wish I remembered her name because she was fantastic! I got a beautiful dress and they helped me order it rushed so I had it by my wedding date. They also steamed it for free because they were excited about it being a white dress (not the usual anymore, apparently).

There are not enough words for me to describe how wonderful my experience was at Weddings & Dreams. The customer service of Arnold and his team is tremendous. It's rare to find such great customer service and I am so happy I found this shop.

Here are a little more details about my experience: I was torn between a dress I tried on at Weddings & Dreams and a dress at another bridal shop and Arnold found the other dress and brought it in to the store so I could try them on side-by-side. He and the team really went above and beyond to make sure I found THE dress and they were so patient and understanding when I was indecisive. I genuinely felt that they wanted me to leave happy with a dress that I loved versus treating me just like another sale.

Very happy with this dress boutique. My mom and I just went in to get ideas and low and behold....I walk out with buying a dress. I literally tried on 6 dresses and found the one. I had an idea of what I wanted....It didn't look good on me. The girl picked out a dress and I loved it! I wouldn't take it off.

They were professional and made sure everything was OK. And lined up my appointments. I was extremely happy with how the staff was. And their selection of dresses keeps expanding!

Ah-mazing service! I was helped by Megan and she was so lovely and accomodating! The first dress she found was THE DRESS. She helped me try on the dress with a veil, as well as helped me figure out how to get into it! I couldn't have imagined a better "finding THE DRESS " experience! Would definitely recommending this place. Oh and did I mention that my dress price was a STEAL?! :D

Weddings & Dreams and staff were great!! Shortly after my engagement, made a non-planned stop to look at and try on dresses with my mom. They were very accommodating with no appointment. I had picked a number of dresses/styles from Pinterest. They had those available to try on. I was able to try on several dresses and ended up deciding on one that day!! They were very attentive and responsive with the fittings and alterations.

Celena was a great help to me. She saw the dresses that I liked and suggested many different dresses that I liked and ultimately picked out the perfect dress for me. She was quick and I enjoyed having her help me with finding my dress.

This review is strictly for Weddings and Dreams (not including their seamstress). There was a great amount of styles available, but not too many where it was overwhelming. The first dress I tried on was the one, and it wasn't even the silhouette I was even looking for. The bridal consultant knew what would work for my body type even though I wanted a different style. Their service and professionalism were so great that I opted to even buy a 2nd dress for the reception as well as a couple of other accessories that the store offered. They also offer tux rentals and bridesmaid dresses, but I opted to get the BM dresses elsewhere since we were on a strict time crunch.

They also had a seamstress available there, but payments to the seamstress went directly to her and not the store, which is why this 5 star review is not including seamstress services, and if it did, I'd actually rate this lower. One of the straps I had added on to the dress ripped apart from the dress on the night of the wedding, luckily I had safety pins, but it still ruined the straps in the end. I was planning on getting it preserved, but I'd have to get the straps fixed first. She also had the nerve to ask me if I was wearing the same shoes from a previous dress fitting, which I was, because her hem cut was way off. I had to bite my tongue so hard on my final fitting with her. My MOHs were even irritated with her during the first and second fittings, so I didn't have them attend the third one to make it less stressful. It shouldn't have taken that many fittings to just hem, add my provided straps, and a rhinestone belt. There's a couple other things I can mention, but to cut it short, to save you some time, just look for another seamstress.

Nonetheless, this bridal store was the best as far as quality of service, selection and people. I did go to other places like David's Bridal (never again) and Trudy's in Campbell. You'll find yourself served with more attention here than other places.

I bought my dress there ... and it was the most gorgeous dress i've seen! It took me only one visit to decide that that was the dress I will be walking down the isle in. Seriously outstanding! It was a designer collection, i received 40% off because it was from passed season. I got the alterations done there as well, the seamstress was very nice.
Highly recommend!

I purchased my wedding dress here, and the groom and groomsmen rented their tuxedos here. This is a lovely little mom & pop store that has great service. Megan helped me with wedding dress shopping. She was patient and kind and very informative and helped me a lot when deciding what style would work best for me. Arnold helped the groomsmen and groom with tux fittings and rentals. Again, helpful and professional. We always received phone calls when items were ready, to confirm appointments, to confirm details etc. Their pricing was fair and they were always no pressure. The have a third party seamstress if you need alterations and her prices can't be beat. I highly recommend this place for great value and service.

This was the first boutique I went to to begin my search for my wedding dress. I had not anticipated finding THE dress, let alone buying one. But it happened; it was the first dress I tried on. The staff was very helpful, very knowledgeable about what looked great with my body type. It was the perfect dress with the most perfect price tag. Very reasonable. They also have an in-house seamstress that altered my dress. They did as many fittings as needed to get it right. They also have a beautiful selection of jewelry and other items one would need for a wedding. My girlfriend, who bought her dress elsewhere, also found a bejeweled appliqué from here, and the associate the bridal boutique she bought her dress from was in awe of how beautiful the piece was. They are a company of their word and goes above and beyond to make the customer happy. Everything they promised was delivered and I am very pleased with my experience here. I love that their selection is special and more than likely, the dress you find isn't going to be one where many other brides have worn.

I am a huge fan of the folks at weddings and dreams. I highly recommend them to everyone, you get personalized service and they're not pushy, just very helpful and friendly.

WEDDING DRESS: It was the very first store that I visited during my search for a perfect wedding dress. From the moment i stepped into the store I was greeted by Arnold who asked if I had tried on any wedding dresses and proceeded to explain to me the shapes, styles and asked me to pick a few I liked. He also picked a few for me to try on. They have a huuuge selection of wedding dresses, but the very first dress i tried on turned out to be my dream dress. After visiting over 6 stores and trying on countless dresses, I returned to weddings and dreams to purchase my dress. The dress came in fairly quickly they said I should expect it to take about 5 months but it actually came in less than 3 months.

BRIDESMAID DRESS: They also have a great selection of bridesmaids dresses - so much that my bridesmaids were tired after looking at how many dresses I had picked out for them to try on. Both the bridal and bridesmaids dresses are excellent quality.

TUXEDOS: Our entire male bridal party ordered their tuxedos from them. They were excellent quality, perfect size and exactly as we had requested. Because we rented so many items from them the grooms tux was free, which my husband was really happy about!

Arnold and his staff are a dream to work with! They are a mom/pop shop with a wide selection of dresses, tuxedos, suits and all kinds of accessories. We worked with Megan to find the perfect dress and not only did she patiently and happily answer our long lists of questions, but she also made suggestions where we may find customized items that weren't available in the store. Also, although we ended up using an out-of-store seamstress, Megan offered tips on where to get cheaper but quality fabrics. Finally, when the dress got inadvertently stained, Arnold stepped up at the last minute and ensured the dress would be cleaned quickly, thoroughly and professionally without breaking the already broken wedding piggy bank.

We received so many compliments on our formalwear and you can totally tell that folks like Arnold and Megan sincerely enjoy helping others plan this amazing milestone!

We met Megan and Arnold at a wedding faire and we were attracted to their traditional Filipino garb. They were friendly, welcoming, and very enthusiastic! I instantly felt a connection with Megan and decided to check out their salon and made an appointment. Low and behold I found and purchased my dream wedding dress with Megan's great patience and eye for detail. She listened to all the details I wanted and brought me samples that enlisted all of them. The last dress I tried on made me feel like a queen and I thank Megan for that! My fiancé also bought his traditional Filipino Barong from Weddings and Dreams and we are set for the groomsmen and bearers to buy their Barongs there too. Thank you to Arnold for going out of his way while on vacation in the Philippines to get us a sample of my fiance's ivory piña Barong! They make you feel like family and they definitely go beyond to make your special day as perfect as possible.

This place was everything I thought wedding dress shopping should be. I went to a few other places in the Fremont area and it felt more like trying on clothing then wedding dress shopping. The staff was very helpful. The only annoyance was that regular shipping for the dress I liked was 5 to 6 months, so I had to do rush shipping.

I got my dream dress for half the price. After 3 days of going to several potential vendors and trying on multiple designers only to have my soul ripped out after looking at the tag and realizing I truly didn't want to spend a ridiculous amount on a dress that would only be worn once when I stumbled on the hidden treasure tucked away in a weird little shopping mall.. The owner was amazing and believe it or not I fell in love with the very first dress I tried on.. And best of all I payed less then a grand for my dress and it's beautiful..

The only reason I gave some 4's are because I was not allowed to take a picture of myself in the dress. Otherwise, great price and excellent service.

These guys are absolutely amazing. They were patient, took their time, made you the center of attention and just wanted to make sure you left the store happy. I bought the dress of my dreams here. Only thing I had an issue with is how one of the owners of the shop would hover around and make some customers uncomfortable. But if you voice your concern, he is very understanding and leaves the space for you and your loved ones. Overall amazing experience. I came here at the start of my dress shopping experience, came back a couple of months later after going to several dress shop locations, and no where could compare to these guys hospitality.

This was the very first place I shopped at for my wedding dress. My MOH took me and we had a great time together. The consultant was very nice but too young to be helping a bride. I wasn't able to find my perfect dress, but the consultant helped me get started.

I bought my dress through Weddings and Dreams in Fremont. While I did find the dress of my dreams, some aspects of buying a dress there could have been better.

1. I was not informed that the dress I purchased came in ivory, only white (which I saw online) and champagne (which was the in store sample).
2. No pictures in the salon, and all dresses are marked as a "store brand". I've heard horror stories of other stores doing this and selling knock offs. Clearly not the case here, as I love my Stella York dress, but it did have me very worried.
3. I was told the dress would be in after 10-12 weeks. I called at the 12 week mark (July) and was told my dress wouldn't be in until November. Now, this was fine for a February wedding, but it was terribly misleading.

I did not do my alterations there, which I am glad about because it would have cost the same for a hem and a 5 point bustle there as it did for my 11 point bustle plus a hem and moving the corset panel elsewhere.

I went to Weddings and Dreams because I saw their flyer at a bridal fair. I ended up finding my wedding dress here. I was very impressed with the styles of dresses that they had and I really liked the designs more than any other place. The prices were great too. It was easy to find a dress within my budget. After I got the dress, the alteration process was not so smooth. I had to go in at least 4 times for check ups. The lady who does the alterations would schedule out monthly appointments, but it seemed like there was hardly anything done in between the appointments. The closer it got to the wedding, the more nervous I became that it would not get done. Somehow she got it done a week before the wedding. One issue that I did have, was that the applique that I had her add on my dress came off in the middle of the wedding. I don't think she stitched it on properly.
We also rented our tuxedos for the groom and the groomsmen. Somehow everyone's measurements were slightly off. The groom had to change his jacket the day before the wedding. They also forgot the shoes for one of the groomsmen and a vest with a tie for the ring bearer. Luckily, we were able to get everything to us the day before the wedding too. Everything ended up looking very nice, but it was quite stressful.
Overall, this place is awesome for wedding dresses and good for tux rental.

This was my last stop after a long day of wedding dress shopping. We called them in the morning and they were able to fit us in for the last appointment of that day, which was great since we were in the area and we wouldn't have to come back another day. The girl that helped me was very nice. I probably tried on 5 different dresses. The last one I tried on was one I really liked, in the style I had been looking for. Another worker, who I think was the owner, started to come over to talk about the dress. I felt she was very pushy and it really turned me off from the dress and the store in general. I felt like she just wanted me to buy the dress to benefit them and didn't really care if it was "the one" for me. This was the only one of that dress and was no longer made. She told me if I bought it right then and there, she would take off $200. I told her that was great but I couldn't make my decision right then and there because I wasn't ready. Then she said I could put a $50 deposit down and if the next day I decided to get the dress, the $50 would go to the dress and if I didn't decide on it, I would lose the $50. When I said "no thank you" to that she then said she'd honor the $200 off until 12pm the next day. I told her I would sleep on it. She kept saying that she knew I would come back for this dress. I didn't go back for the dress. I liked it but it wasn't "the one". I really didn't like how pushy she was when clearly I wasn't ready to buy it. I wasn't going to settle for a dress just because you take money off. The other thing that I didn't like (and most other reviews say the same thing) is that you cannot take pictures in the store which makes it hard because you can't go back and look at a picture the next day or show people who couldn't be there. The dresses are also made my "private designers" so you have no information about the dress which I didn't like and which is why you cannot take pictures. I really think they need to change this policy.

If you are looking for an excellent price on a wedding dress, I would not hesitate to shop here. The sales staff are friendly, attentive and have a good eye in what you want to wear for your wedding.

If you need any alterations - take the dress somewhere else and don't look back. The seamstress works random partial days and is not flexible at all. She will also tell you she doesnt need to pin the dress, she can just "remember" all the alterations needed. This caused 3 additional return trips (at my expense) to the store to ensure the dress fit properly. Note that the seamstress will either arrive 30 minutes late and with a bad attitude or she won't show up at all - causing the sales staff to do her work for her. The staff "forgets" to mention that the seamstress wants only cash payments for her "services". You get ambushed by this information as you are holding your dress. Needless to say, with the "owners" approval - you can pay by credit/debit card. Just a word to the wise.

I just picked up my dress today and the whole process has been a nightmare - I highly recommend avoiding this bridal shop! They make mistakes which they are unapologetic about, including shipping my wedding dress in the WRONG SIZE right before my wedding!

1) After purchasing my dress, they quoted me an arrival time of 5 - 8 months, which meant there was a huge chance it would arrive AFTER my wedding! They had known my wedding date, and did not express any concern. When I tried to push them for a solution, they said my particular dress would probably arrive between 5-7 months, which still has potential to arrive too late and definitely too late for alterations. Had to talk to 3 people and a manager to have them put a rush on the order.

2) When I arrived to pick up the dress, I noticed it was one size larger than what I ordered! When I confronted the front desk, she tried to tell me I was wrong. She finally pulled out the purchase order and realized that it was indeed the wrong size. Her solution was "well, it seems like it fit" (I hadn't actually tried it on all the way since it was a corset style)."When I pressed about what if it doesn't fit, her response was "Once you walk out of here, you can't return it." She said I could also see if I can get the correct size ordered. I asked her how long that would take and she just shrugged and said she would call on Monday. It is WAY too risky to try and order another dress a month and a half before the wedding when I know it needs alterations. There was not a single apology or attempt to remedy their mistake and I had no choice but to sign and walk out or risk having no dress for the wedding.

3) Not a big deal, but prepare to walk in and pick up your paid-in-full dress and then have to pay $25 for a cheaply made garment bag, or otherwise walk out with the wedd

Dress took longer than promised to come in. I ordered extra pieces for a jacket when ordering the dress, however they forgot to order them, therefore when my dress did come in I couldn't work with the alterations lady to get that piece made until 1 week before my wedding. She rushed to make it, therefore when I went to put it on at my wedding, the snaps didnt work, therefore the jacket kept popping off. When I returned the dress to get it cleaned, the owner, Arnold wasnt there so I asked the ladies to have him give me a call. After waiting 3 weeks, I never heard from Arnold, so I called him to explain my disappointment, and he promised to send me $50 back. 3 months later, I wrote a less than favorable review on The Knot website, and conveniently got an email apologizing saying he was going to send the refund right now. 8 months later and I have yet to receive my reimbursement and the whole experience now has just left a bitter taste and I wont refer them to other brides. It's such a bummer because the experience started out amazing - maybe its just to get you in the door and buy their stuff, then you're stuck with dealing with their poor business ethics.
