I am extremely satisfied with working with Bella Sposa for my wedding dress and alterations. Renee worked above and beyond my expectations. I was due for my alterations during the hurricane which flooded all possible avenues to the shop and Renee assured me the alterations would be completed before the big day, and she was absolutely right! She made special appointments to make sure the dress would be altered in time. When I was trying on different dresses, I never felt rushed. Renee took the time with both my mother and I and also gave her opinion which was helpful in making the big decision. It was nice to feel like you were the only customer she was working with. I highly recommend Bella Sposa!!!!

Bella Sposa was my first stop for dress shopping. I was nervous about the entire process and did not know what to expect. With Paige's help, I had my perfect dress in about an hour! She and Renee are so nice, personable, and accommodating. The atmosphere they create is professional but not stuffy or snobby. They had a ton of wonderful options in my price range. I will be recommending them to everyone who asks (and probably some who don't!) Even though I have only been to one store, I know that I have the most perfect dress ever!

Bella Sposa was great from the time I chose my dress to the time I picked it up. Not being a size 2 or a young bride, I was apprehensive about even wearing a wedding gown. Rene and her staff made me feel comfortable and helped me transform my dress into a dress suitable for me. Their service is very personalized. They were great helping me with my pink accessories as well! I would recommend them to anyone who is getting married if you want special attention.

Renee and her staff at Bella Sposa were amazing and extremely helpful during the entire process. I bought my gown there as well as had them do my alterations and everything was perfect! They had everything ready as soon as I arrived for my dress fittings and really listened to what I wanted. Everyone at my wedding told me how beautiful my dress was and the bartender even asked my friend where I got it from...she said it was the most beautiful dress he has ever seen! Thank you so much for everything!

Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. I had been to other stores before and kept trying on dresses that I thought I would like but didn't when I saw them on me. The staff paid close attention to my comments about dresses they picked for me and helped me to find the perfect dress! They were also very accommodating to my schedule because I had bought the dress from out of town. My one minor complaint is that the alterations didn't come out exactly the way I would have liked them. The dress fit well and looked great, but there was one minor issue with a wrinkled seam that wasn't quite resolved.

I was very pleased with the service I received from Bella Sposa Bridal. I went in not knowing what I was looking for since this was my second wedding. Paige was extremly helpful and pointed me in the right direction. Within an hour I had the prefect dress! Renee help me with the accessories and did a great job with the fitting and was very professional. Great job!

Bella Sposa has a beautiful selection of wedding dresses to choose from. I was very happy with the level of service I received and how my dress looked for my "big day".

I cannot say enough about Bella Sposa Bridal. This is the first and only shop I went to. My first appointment I went in with what I thought I would like, they selected many styles for me including ones I brought in photos of. . . . There was not one dress that they put on me that I did not love. An hour later, dress was purchased and I was cancelling other appointments. As for the alterations, my bridemaids and myself were truly amazed at how little alterations were needed. Even when I have a momentary lapse and "hated" my dress, Renee put me at ease and assured me it would all be ok. . . . .It was!!!!! Thank you Renee!!!!

Didn't like that there was no seamstress working. The owner offered to take the measurements and pass it to whoever would alter the dress - not cool. I found a nice dress but didn't buy it because of my concern. Dresses were overpriced and it was hard to get an appointment when I was available.

This place had beautiful dresses, it was difficult to make a decision. Renee, the owner, was extremely helpful. She actually pulled out a dress and told me to try it even though I did not think I would like it.... I ended up picking that dress!!!! She just knows what would look best on you, trust her!!!! I would not have changed anything about my experience here, she was great!!!!

Hi Rene, Nicole’s wedding took place at West Point last Saturday and it was a wonderful wedding! Everything was grand, it just could not have happened more perfectly. It was as if we were all in a fairytale. Nicole’s gown was definitely a highlight. I attached some pictures of Nicole. When the church doors opened, it was breathtaking! She was magnificent in her gown. We received so many compliments on the gown, and people remarked how striking it looked when tied up for her to dance. Nicole can't bear to put the dress away, so we still have it out for her to put on once again when she returns home next week! Thank you so much for all the attention you gave to Nicole and the gorgeous gown you delivered to us. I told many people we were treated as if Nicole were the only bride in town. The attention to detail was amazing, and as a result, the gown turned out even more spectacular than we expected. Thanks for helping to make Nicole’s wedding perfect. Rose

I got married August 29, 2009 and Bella Sposa Bridal was my first stop to look for dresses! I never looked any where else! I tried on 3 dresses, and the last one was IT. Renee and the bridal consultants were very professional and so helpful. I got a gorgeous gown, veil, shoes, the whole nine! I would recommend Bella Sposa as the first stop for any bride :)

They were wonderful to work with. They handled the many different personalities of my bridal party. Would recommend them to anyone looking for wedding dress or bridesmaid dress.

My experience with Bella Sposa was great. Renee was helpful and easy to work with, and was never too pushy as you sometimes see in other boutiques. I was looking for a straighter, no-poof dress and there were tons of options. Most of the other bridal stores that I looked at had very few "non-traditional" dresses.Buying my dress was such an easy, fun thing to do, I wish I could go back to Bella Sposa and buy one again!

The worst experience I have ever had. We paid for a dress that she sized inappropriately because she is not a seamstress. Then she charged me hundreds of dollars extra for alterations. We paid for the dress in full by check and she forced us to wait not the standard 3 business days but an astonishing 14 days before she would release the dress. She feared the check would bounce. When we assured her the bank cleared the check and had her speak with our bank she still was not satisfied. I would NEVER refer a bride or any one else for that matter to patronize her dirty little store. Least of all women of color. Rene's poor, inappropriate attitude made a time in my life that should have been exciting and joyful, A NIGHTMARE....STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!

Renee is truly amazing and so knowledgable about what she does. Thanks to her, I had the wedding dress of my dreams. The selection of dresses in her store is fantastic, as is the selection of accessories. Renee was sweet, fun and just a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her and her store to any brides, mother of the brides, bridesmaids or girls looking for prom dresses. She was nothing short of spectacular!

I loved my wedding dress! Rene was very good at listening to what I wanted and at helping me to find "the one" that fit my style and personality. I would not change anything about my dress but I do wish I had ordered the next size up so that my alterations involved taking the material in rather than letting the seams out and adding panels. My dress was form fitting and a piece had to be added because the size we ordered just fit but didn't fit perfectly. During my reception I did get a rip in the lace, which no one notice but me of course! Also, make sure you bring someone with you that will be bustling your dress after the ceremony. I did not and I am pretty sure my dress was not bustled correctly. Other than those two little things, my overall experience at Bella Sposa was great.

Bella Sposa Bridal saved me from being just another generic magazine bride! To make a very long story short, my family forced me into David's Bridal where they proceeded to pick out everything for our wedding including the dress without too much input or approval from me-The dress from David's was nothing I ever wanted or dreamed of. I knew about Bella Sposa from when I lived in NJ-I had friends and family that raved about their service and selection. While venting to one of my friends that still lives in NJ, she told me she was just there for a dress for her 4 yr old niece and suggested I to go to the website and check it out, maybe I'll find something I liked instead-it can't hurt to look right? Just out of curiosity and wanting more then what I wound up with, I pulled up the website and just started browsing-I found it, my dream dress! I wasn't sure how to go about getting it b/c I live in Florida now and I already had the dress from Davids'. I called Renee, the owner of the shop-she's awesome! I told her the whole story and suddenly felt I was talking to my sister and not just the owner of the store. I told her my measurements and she called the designer the next day. Lucky for me, they had my size in stock. She placed the order and had it shipped out that day-I had it in my hands in about a week.Honestly, I'm probably the only woman on the planet missing the "bride gene," thank goodness Renee isn't! She asked me if I thought about a veil-I knew I wanted it long, but not too full, I wanted to have some sparkle, but not too much detail to take away from my dress. After looking through tons of pictures and corresponding back and forth through email, we came close but, I still couldn't settle on anything. She knew I was about to settle, and instead asked me to trust her-she custom made my veil and it was perfect, exactly what I pictured and couldn't find. She even found and suggested a tiara for me to try-she remembered she had it stored in the shop-so she shipped it to me and told me to just try it on and see if I like it, if not just send it back and we'll try something else. If it wasn't made for this dress, it should have been, it match perfectly...Here I had it, the whole package, exactly what I envisioned, from a million miles away she made it come true! For less then what I paid for just a generic dress from Davids'-I got my dream dress, veil, headpiece and new friend.Bella Sposa Bridal is the real thing! During an emotionally challenging and stressful time, Renee took out the guess work and relieved that pressure-My family agreed 100% that it was perfect. I recommend Bella Sposa for their superior service and selections to anyone looking for help with their wedding or formal wear-you won't be disappointed!Sincerely,Cherie Cramer
