Bridal Shops near Matawan, NJ

“I had a wedding dress emergency. I bought a dress online that didn’t fit. 10 days before my wedding I came in (obviously in a panic). The owner was incredibly sweet, patient, and didn’t judge me. I found a dress that fit me perfectly and I love. Not something I just settled for because my original didn’t fit.”

“I didn't know what to expect as this was my first time gown shopping and I really had a wonderful experience! The staff were so friendly and professional, particularly Erin who helped me today. I was not rushed, nor pressured, and that to me was priceless. I had so much fun and it was such a pleasurable, and memorable experience. Thank you Erin for your help, kindness, and patience in helping me find my beautiful dress!! I said Yes To The Dress At Castle Couture Off The Runway!”

“This review is several months overdue. I cannot say ENOUGH good things about The Curvy Bride. Where to even begin?

I was actually referred to them after having a lackluster plus-size experience at another chain boutique. The consultant there was a curvy girl herself and was kind enough to be honest with me and recommend I check out The Curvy Bride instead.

All of their reviews were super positive and promising so I was really excited to check it out, and boy, I was not disappointed! Right when I walked in for my appt, there was a personalized sign at the front desk welcoming me by name. Such a sweet, thoughtful touch.

The shop manager sat down with
My mother and I, offered us snacks and asked me what I was looking for, my do’s and don’ts etc. I had read on their website that they recommend ordering a dress a year in advance. Being that my reception was only about 7-8 months out, I fully intended on looking for off-the-rack only so I could purchase something that day to take home. But the manager assured me that there were several designers they carry that could be ordered and altered in time, and they were careful to ONLY pull looks for me to try on that could in fact meet this deadline, which was so kind.

Then I met my lovely consultant, Kaitlyn. Super warm, personable and incredibly talented at what she does. She pulled a whole 7-8 dresses for me to try on in my desired style, and each one was more beautiful and flattering than the last! As a curvy girl that has gained quite a bit of weight over the last few years, I have not been feeling particularly confident or beautiful in my body lately, so to have so many flattering choices was emotionally overwhelming.

All the dresses were stunning but we finally narrowed it down to a top two, then ultimately finalized “THE dress.” I was actually moved to tears, and I am not a girly girl that expected to do this. I’m not sure it was so much the perfect dress as it was just feeling so supported and accepted by everyone in the room - they truly made me feel beautiful, a feeling I haven’t felt in a long while.

After picking the dress, even the owner of the shop personally came and double checked my measurements to help me order the perfect size - it should be in by December or early January, with just enough time to do 3 months of alterations for my April 2025 reception. All 3 ladies were so personable and attentive, oohing and aaahing and they really made me feel special. It is by far the best customer service experience I have ever had in my entire life, and I am so grateful I found them.

As if this fabulous consultation wasn’t enough, a few weeks later I received a hand-written “congratulations/well-wishes” card in the mail from my consultant Kaitlyn - it was a true testament to how genuinely these women love what they do, with a passion. Thank you Curvy Bride, I know you are going to make me look amazing on my wedding day!!”

“Hey, guess what? We finally found the perfect dress for my daughter's Sweet 16! After visiting seven dress shops, we finally struck gold. And let me tell you, Nora, the saleswoman who helped us, deserves a raise! She went above and beyond to make sure we found the perfect dress. She's an absolute gem!”

“Castle Couture is truly a special and amazing place. From the staff to the facilities to the inventory to the service, it is top notch! My family and I had an incredible experience here and we are so thankful for it! Shout out to Angela and Carolyn for their amazing service and help! If you are looking for a dress - look no further than Castle Couture!”

“Had an amazing experience. I went to castle couture the week before and had a terrible experience there. As soon as you walk in, hearts for you, they make you feel at home. Michelle was my bridal stylist and she was phenomenal l. Not only did she make me feel comfortable but she was very respectful and helpful. I found my wedding dress and couldn’t be happier. This place beats castle couture out of the ball park! Thank you ladies for your help and opinions!!!! Can’t wait to come back for a fitting!”

“I can not thank the bridal boutique enough for helping me choose my wedding day dress. From start to finish the service was amazing. Diana and Melissa go above and beyond for you to make sure your dress is perfect for your special day. Everyone at the store is so friendly and always accommodating. Thank you so much!”

“thank you guys for helping my grandma get her rings off today. The cuts were very clean, and the woman I talked to when I called agreed with me that this was a way better option than the emergency room. The er would've stressed grandma out.. and then they'd butcher the rings.I think we're just gonna put her other ones on a necklace from now on so that it doesn't happen again + she'll still be able to keep them close.Thanks again. you guys are awesome.”

“Just went to Mervats on Sunday to look at my options for wedding dresses. The store was very organized and clean and there were a lot of options for me to choose from. My family and I were greeted by Floriana and she was nothing but amazing. She was very attentive and helpful. Even though I ended up not getting my dress from here, Floriana made my experience more memorable. I wouldn’t oppose to coming back and possibly getting my dress altered.”

“Thank you to Rosanna and the ladies at Angels Bridal for helping me find the perfect wedding dress! They have a beautiful selection, were a pleasure to work with, and the seamstress did an excellent job with my alterations. I highly recommend!”

“So happy that Belle bridal was reccomended to me by a friend for my daughter's prom dressNot only is the owner sweet and funny she made our experience so enjoyable. No pressure and honesty was so refreshing after several bad shopping experiences....great prices.too! We left with a beautiful dress! Highly reccomend.”

“I can’t begin to say how much Maritza and Giselle were a blessing to my daughter and I! They made her enchanted Forest sweet 16 come to life and they worked with us and guided us every step of the way! They were truly a blessing to work with and we will definitely be doing business with them again! We love you guys! Thank you for everything you guys did!! God bless!”

“Extremely happy with my tux rental! Rented a tux for a wedding and was very satisfied. The fitting was a breeze, when I came in to try it on the pants & jacket needed a slight adjustment, and it was ready that same day. The staff is the absolute best and they are there to help you look better then your supposed to!! I will absolutely be back ?”
