Everything about this place was perfect. We walked in with no appointment and got helped immediately. I loved the freedom of being able to walk around and look at the dresses and pick some out myself, but then having the experienced girls clip me up and find dresses I liked once they knew my vision was just an all-around perfect experience. Michelle was so helpful and Brie & all the girls were so welcoming and sweet. I walked in thinking I was just going to look around and then I found my dream dress and they took such good care of me!! The entire experience is one I’ll never forget.

Visited on a Wed afternoon with no appointment and was welcomed. Very helpful and attentive. Showed me where everything was in the store and gave great suggestions. My description of what I was looking for was handed to me as my first dress and it ended up being the one I chose! No pics yet lol but I did get to ring the gong 😊

New York Bridal helped us create such a special moment for my parents’ 49th wedding anniversary! My mom absolutely loves Say Yes to the Dress, so we wanted to give her that experience, and New York Bridal did not disappoint! The staff was so kind, patient, and accommodating, making sure my mom felt special every step of the way. Seeing her light up while trying on wedding dresses was priceless and she said that it was a dream come true! If you’re a bride-to-be, I definitely encourage you to check out New York Bridal, for your one of a kind and dedicated experience. Thank you for helping us create such a beautiful memory and making my mother’s dream of being a BRIDE come true.

Such a great experience from start to finish! Abby was incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the entire suit fitting and purchasing process. She took her time to make sure everything fit perfectly and helped me find the right suit for our special day. The whole process was smooth, easy, and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out! They also accept walk-ins. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality suit and excellent customer service at an affordable price!

Such a great experience! I went looking for a BLACK wedding dress and they pulled a handful of dresses that they could order in black and have back in time for my wedding (Less than 3 months). We found the perfect one AND my groom got his suit there. Julie is the MVP!!! She was SO helpful. She was patient with me from start to finish and even recommended an affordable tailor for my dress alterations that could be done in time. Julie saved my wedding 🖤 She is excellent at what she does and a dream to be around! Thank you Julie and staff!!

The folks at NYB&G were absolutely wonderful to work with throughout my dress-shopping experience! I initially had trouble finding the perfect dress for me, and the stylists really dug in to help me find the one! Additionally, the dress I had ordered looked different than what I was expecting from the designer's website, so the team at NYB&G took the extra step to coordinate with the dress designers and actually custom-build my dress to match my vision! Truly the best dress store in the Triangle area and I would highly recommend to any upcoming brides!

I had such a great experience with Shianne! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was professional, patient, and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. You can truly tell that she takes pride in her work and pays attention to the little details. I’m so happy with how everything turning out for the guys. I would definitely recommend Shianne to anyone looking for help with quality work and great customer service! Abby was also absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet, professional, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. She took the time to make sure everything was done properly and that I was happy with the final result. I really appreciate her attention to detail and the care she put into her work. I would definitely recommend Abby and will be back!

New York Bride & Groom is literally amazing. From start to finish, I can count on all of the ladies. I ran into an issue with my dress before my wedding and I reached out to the company to ask for advice. After a few days, Tanya reached out and had immaculate communication with me and made me feel so comforting. The issue that I had she helped resolve it quickly and I felt like a valued customer. Shout out to Riley as well. She was instrumental in making my day more than what I can ask for. If you want the best service for your special day, CHOOSE them ! 10/10 business....Did I mention, no appt needed, walk in and get a stylist to help you find the dress for you. Thank you for everything.
