  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.

  I cannot say enough about this place! This was the first store I visited when trying on wedding dresses, and I ended up buying my dream wedding dress here. All the girls were so wonderful! My stylist, Te-ojah, is the one who picked out the dress I ended up buying. I'm so happy I trusted her! She was so supportive and I felt like I was shopping with a friend I had known forever. ❤️

A huge shoutout to Layla and Bri as well! Layla helped my vision come to life when trying to picture my dress lined, and Bri was so helpful with my measurements and ordering. Just an amazing, wonderful staff and experience as a bride!

P.S. If you buy your dress here, you get a free veil as well!

  My mom and I went to New York Bride and Groom in Garner so I could look for a dress. When we walked in we were greeted and already felt a great vibe when we walked in. Everyone there was so pleasant but I worked with Teósha and she helped my mom and I letting us know the layout of the store and what to expect. Other than her, we also got assistance from Bri and these two were just the best to work with. They were so down to earth, with the different dresses I tried on they asked what I liked and didn’t like and picked other dresses to try along the way per what I liked and didn’t.
I wound up saying YES TO THE DRESS and honestly I don’t think I would have without their help and assistance. When we checked out we worked with Julie and she was so sweet, explained everything I needed to know about my dress. They keep my dress stored with them up until my wedding. What place helps you out by doing that, that made me so happy and stress free.
This was the BEST EXPERIENCE I ever had and so happy that this group of ladies were able to help me pick the perfect dress for my perfect day!!!! Can’t thank you all enough.

  Such a beautiful and special experience at NY B&G! All of the staff from the moment we walked in were so welcoming, yet lowkey, giving us the space and comfort to browse without pressure to explore our vision. Michelle was an absolute gem who was incredible as she guided me and my crew through the most memorable afternoon finding my dress. She was genuinely so invested in my experience and helped me find the perfect dress! Could not have done it without her! Would recommend to everyone!

Update: We also did my fiancé’s look through Suited. Abby and Cheyenne were incredible, kind, and took their time with him, and us, as we found the perfect look for him. We love Abby’s energy and approach, and Cheyenne was so adorable and direct, helping my fiancé make final decisions. They are a part of our story forever!

  New York Bride and Groom was my first and only wedding dress store!  They have such a large variety of dresses to choose from, and as a curvy bride, they were able to work with my body in such beautiful and respectful ways.  Julie was AMAZING--when it seemed like the dress I was excite about wouldn't go over my hips, she helped me get into it, and that ended up being the dress.
The only thing that wasn't wonderful was the robe in the dressing room.  Again, I'm a bride in a larger body, and it was a little sad/frustrating that the robe didn't fit me (especially given that there are so many plus size dress options).  If you're a curvy bride, you may want to bring your own robe (if that's important to you).
But other than that, what a beautiful experience.  It was clear when I put the dress on.  I ugly cried.  Julie (and the entire staff!) was wonderful throughout, even with the ugly tears.  I'm so thankful to New York Bride and Groom for helping me find my dream dress (that fits my curvy body!).

  Oh my goodness everyone at this bridal shop was AMAZING. We worked specifically with Te-ójan, and she was so kind, thoughtful, and did not rush or push any sort of decision. Would 10/10 recommend coming to this location and asking specifically for Te-ójan, MY SISTER FOUND HER PERFECT DRESS.

  Wow, it was such a treat to go to NY Bride & Groom. I came from out of town and just had the best experience with Julie there. I sent an inquiry about purchasing a specific garment for me and she replied not only swiftly but urgently because just so happened the designer was having a trunk show. Julie and the team helped the vision come together and with such ease. It also helps that Julie was so personable. I’m pleasantly surprised and will 100% be back for any other accessories I may need.

  I wish I would've made NY Bride & Groom of Raleigh my first stop for wedding dress shopping. This beautiful place has a large variety of dresses, & my consultant Lissa was amazing & patient with me as I was unaware at first that I arrived at the last hour on a busy Saturday. Lissa arranged to have a brand-new dress shipped in preparation for fitting within an impressive time frame. I plan to recommend NY Bride & Groom of Raleigh to family & friends!! Thank you for your amazing customer service & friendly staff interactions during my experience there. The staff were genuinely happy & excited for myself & my family after finding the most beautiful dress. I felt as if I made friends that day!

  I went there on Saturday and had such a wonderful experience! Michelle and Bree were absolutely amazing and so helpful throughout the entire process. I found my dress, and they even helped me customize it to make it exactly how I wanted.
Since we came from out of town, they stayed past closing to make sure I was able to order everything exactly the way I wanted. Their kindness, patience, and attention to detail made the experience so special. 10 out of 10, would definitely recommend this place to any bride-to-be! They have a huge variety of dresses, and everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. I’m so glad we made the trip here! 💕👰✨

  Bree was absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for her to be kinder or more patient. She had great taste in pulling dresses for me and really listened to what I wanted.
