“A Couture Bridal Experience Like No Other”After enduring disappointing experiences at traditional bridal salons, I made the decision to visit Lisa Van Hattem. From the very first moment, it was evident that this would be an extraordinary experience. Lisa’s commitment to service and attention to detail is unparalleled. As a true artist, she possesses the remarkable ability to transform imagination into reality. Each gown she creates is a masterpiece, meticulously crafted to perfection.Why Choose Lisa?* When you entrust Lisa to design your gown, you’re not merely selecting a dress; you’re choosing wearable art.* The touch of silk against my skin felt exquisite, and the intricate lacework and stitching left me feeling like I was adorned in the Rolls Royce of wedding gowns.* The compliments flowed, and I felt absolutely stunning. There’s simply no comparison to dresses found in traditional salons.* If possible, I highly recommend opting for silk fabric. Its graceful flow and elegant drape enhance every curve, creating a sensuous and sophisticated look.Lisa, thank you for turning my dream into a breathtaking reality.

Lisa is a master at her craft and I would recommend her to everybody. Working with her to turn my wedding dress dreams into a reality was an absolute delight. I looked forward to each fitting where I got to spend time with her in her picturesque home. She is so detailed and thoughtful with her work, creating meticulous designs that are perfect for each individual bride. She brought my vision to life, making a dress that is perfectly modest and perfectly me with a long tulle train, puff sleeves, and a beautiful veil to match. On the day of my wedding I felt like the most beautiful bride.I am so very grateful I was given the opportunity to work with Lisa to create my one of a kind, custom wedding dress. I could not have found the dress we created anywhere else. It was a magical experience from start to finish and was beyond what I could have ever imagined. It is something I will treasure forever. You will not regret having Lisa make your gown. Trust me <3

Lisa made my dream dress and I could not have been happier with my experience with her. From the get go Lisa was extremely approachable and guided me through the dress making process with ease. I needed a lot of guidance as I am naturally an indecisive person and Lisa provided me with comfort and reassurance throughout the whole process. She sat with me and went through materials and options from different beading to endless beautiful laces. I truly felt at every appointment that Lisa wanted my honest opinions and wanted to make sure I left the appointment happy and confident. She also made my dream veil to go with my dress. Lisa also went out of her way to help me find a photographer and makeup artist in the area, both whom I was extremely happy with! I cannot recommend Lisa enough! She was fantastic to work with and I recommend anyone looking for their dream dress to work with Lisa.

Although it was a while back now, Lisa created the most uncomfortable thing I have ever worn.Her sketch was perfect and exactly what I had envisioned, but once she started making it, every question I had was followed by “it’s not done yet”.I paid extra for a fuller skirt, but was told there wasn’t enough material to make it, I did not get a discount.The top of the dress looked and felt unfinished, with rough seems, which Lisa “fixed” by adding blister tape. When my mother went to pickup my dress after this ‘fix’ Lisa told her that I was just being difficult.To top it off, the dress started to fall apart before I even got to the church. One of my wonderful bridesmaids put herself on safety pin duty.If you can find someone else to make your dress, I recommend that you do!

Lisa created the most beautiful wedding dress I have ever seen. I already knew my future wife was utterly beautiful when I turned around for the first look, but I could not believe how completely perfect her wedding dress was. We have already recommended Lisa to every single friend or friend of friend who is getting married (or contemplating engagement, or, frankly, going on a second date). I see absolutely no reason to buy a wedding dress at a major chain when you can support a local artisan who can create a custom piece at a much better dollar value.

Lisa's work is beyond words!I came to her with a vague vibe or theme, and very little else. She was able to put this into words and sketches, and she patiently and thoughtfully created the most stunning dress that I (or any of my guests) had ever seen. The entire process was smooth, seamless, and stressfree. The gown was absolutely perfect - it let me dance the entire night, flowed and glowed like a Disney princess, and was a piece of artchitectural brilliance.Thank you, Lisa, for the entire process, the feeling that the gown gave me, and the incredible dress!Olivia

Lisa was very helpful and easy to talk to and patient with my indecisiveness. At first I don't think I knew exactly what I wanted but she brought my dreams into reality. I wanted a dress that I could dance and move in and I wanted a ballgown with a train. I think I got a deal because instead of purchasing two high quality dresses I had two wedding dresses in one with the purchase of an overskirt! It is amazing how easy it was to attach the overskirt to the A-line wedding dress. Afterwards you could not tell where the overskirt attached and it was so clever. The workmanship and quality of my wedding dress is simply impeccable and Lisa is a perfectionist. Putting on my dress was one of the high points of my wedding. I loved every second of wearing it and felt like a goddess that floated down from the heavens on clouds of tulle. The dress and overskirt were well worth the price and I am so glad I was able to have a custom dress. I will treasure my wedding gown forever. I felt so beautiful and ethereal every moment when wearing my wedding gown. I am already asking my husband to take somewhere special for our anniversary so I can wear it again. I got so many compliments from my family and friends and they were all amazed that I wore one dress for the whole wedding. Many of my guests thought I changed dresses. Do put your faith in Lisa in purchasing a custom wedding dress she will not let you down.

Working with Lisa in designing my dream wedding dress was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. She is so amazing at what she does and I highly recommend her work. The wedding dress she designed for me was high-quality, detailed, and fit me like a glove. Lisa is incredibly kind, detail-oriented, organized, and professional. She was calm and extremely accommodating even in dealing with the COVID-19 restrictions. Working with Lisa was one of my best and favourite decisions for my wedding. Thank you so much Lisa!

Working with Lisa was absolutely wonderful, and a stress-free part of my wedding. Nothing off the rack had what I wanted and Lisa was able to easily execute the five simple things I wanted all together in one gorgeous wedding dress. She also helped me navigate choosing fabric and lace (a field I know nothing about) by advising me on the nuances of how each would look and feel for what I wanted to achieve. Seeing her samples helped too! The whole process of designing my dress and going in for fittings was like meeting with a long-time friend. Lisa was always prompt and professional, and clearly very talented.On my wedding day, I felt simply amazing. It was clear to my family and friends that the dress was truly mine as I received non-stop compliments saying the dress fit me like a glove and really represented me. I couldn’t take any credit of course! Thank you for all your hard work, Lisa!
