    Wedding Dress

    I got married in my dream wedding dress thanks to Gail at occasions! She worked with me as I tried on countless dresses and she gave me honest feedback as well as advice. I didn’t have an idea of what I specifically wanted so Gail had me try on a variety of silhouettes to find what looked best on my body and made me feel confident and beautiful. After trying on a lot of dresses over the course of a few visits, I ended up choosing one of the first dresses I had tried. I felt like an absolute princess on my big day and am still so in love with my dress! In addition to my wedding gown, my mother and bridesmaids also got their gowns from Occasions. They all looked stunning! Gail worked with my bridesmaids (who weren’t all in the area) and made sure everything was perfect. I can’t recommend Occasions enough!

    Found the perfect dress

    The ladies here are beyond sweet. I loved the selection and quality of their stock. Going into david’s bridal after going to occasions was a huge difference. The care I received was unmatched. I was able to find a dress that wasn’t something I had seen on a hundred brides already. Truly a showstopper dress, and I owe it all to these ladies!

    I loved using google Occasions! Being a size 16/18 I have had issues finding dresses in the past. Occasions had a wonderful selection that not only fit but came in almost any style that I could have wanted. While I went in with an idea of what I wanted, I ended up altering that when I found a stunning dress that made me look amazing! They were also very helpful with suggestions to alter the dress to make it even more unique.

    Gail is absolutely amazing. I went with my mom to browse wedding gowns with no intentions of getting a dress and I ended up falling in love with a dress that day- this dress is my ultimate Pinterest dream come to life! Gail made my experience fun and and easy with her calm and gentle personality. She was very patient with me when I had trouble deciding on a color (who knew there are different shades of white- I sure didn't). Both Gail and Liz (another team member at Occasions) let me come to the decision on my own but were able to offer great tips and advise along the way. I couldn't he happier with my decision to my get my dress at occasions, I feel like I've made a great friend in Gail look forward to continuing to work with Gail and her team throughout the rest of my wedding planning process.

    Gail was such a sweetheart!!!!! This was the first dress shop I looked at and within an hour I had my dress. I spent WAY under budget. My dress was one they designed. It was comfortable and I could dance in it (we did a choreographed dance). I got so many compliments and I did not spent a fortune on it. I forgot my shoes once at my dress fitting and she let me borrow a similar shoe for the fitting (tailor is across the street). I highly recommend Occasions. There is something for every budget. My mom even found her mother of the bride dress there!

    My mother in law spent more on her dress than I spent on my dress, veil, shoes, alterations and additions to my dress combined. It was insane. I'm SO BEYOND THRILLED. I loved my dress so much and it was very meaningful because I was able to add beads from my mother's wedding dress and put my late cousin's initials in blue in the back inside of my dress. The affordability let me be able to do this. YOU MUST check out Occasions!

    Gail was amazing!! So helpful throughout the entire process. One of the best dress shops I have been to.

    The selection of dresses is not overwhelming like other stores which helped me out a lot. There is a dress that fits every style, but not 100000 dresses to make you more confused and stressed. At larger stores like David's Bridal I would just get more confused and did not really have that feeling like they were really trying to help me pick what I really wanted, but rather just wanted to make a sale.

    The one thing I liked was how Gail really made you feel at home and was super personable and remembered you every time you came in/called. She is also honest and will tell you what styles may work best with your body type. I hated how some stores told you a dress looked amazing, when in reality it was one of the worst style dresses you try on! The last thing you need it someone lying to you throughout a process that may already be stressful. What I thought would be one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning was actually the most fun and relaxing because of Gail.

    I am so happy that I went to Occasions for my wedding dress AND bridesmaid dresses AND mother of the bride dress :) She has styles that worked for everything! I would recommend that every bride at least stop by to see what they have to offer. You will not be disappointed!!! Even if you are from out of state, make the trip :) A friend of mine that is getting married in October made the trip from NYC and ended up getting her bridesmaids dresses there as well. She also raved about how great Occasions is!

    Gail is the reason why I bought my dress there. Her attention to each customer makes the whole difference! I had 6 months to plan my wedding from the day I got engaged to the day of the wedding, and while most bridal stores wouldn't even allow me to look at options Gail helped me get the dress of my dreams which would arrive in time for my wedding! Very pleased with her.

    Occasions Bridal has been amazing to work with for my wedding dress! Gail was SO sweet upon my arrival and made me feel so comfortable. I had a previous experience elsewhere that was not so warm and fuzzy so this was certainly appreciated. While trying on the dresses she had good advice so what would work with my body and made me feel beautiful in all the dresses I tried on. I came back with more family for the 2nd visit and again, Gail was wonderful! I can't wait to continue working with her when my dress comes in!

    There are not enough words to truly describe my experience at Occasions Bridal! Gail, Debbie and the other lady that works there are phenomenal! I was not planning to go to their store but after looking on a Saturday without a scheduled appointment and not being able to receive help at Majesty. I called their boutique and Gail told me to come in at that moment. When I arrived there were many girls trying on dresses for prom. Gail immediately greeted us with the sweetest welcome. Once a room was available I began trying on dresses that I selected. Her boutique was the only store I found that had dresses larger than a 12. While trying on dresses, Gail kept checking on me and right when I decided I was about to leave because nothing I selected really looked good on me, Gail encouraged me to try on some dresses I had not chosen. To make a long story short, I found my dress which made a group of ladies cry who were there shopping for prom dresses for their daughters while I had the dress on. Gail's attention coupled with her expertise and professionalism made choosing my wedding dress a memorable and beautiful experience. I'm going to have some alterations done to my dress and she is working with me every step of the way. For me picking my wedding dress was not all about the "posh" experience it was about someone truly listening to what I wanted, working with someone who really showed they cared about me finding a dress without a guarantee if I was going to purchase a dress from there, they weren't concerned about how much time I was there and just being nice. If you are looking for ladies who truly will take a personal interest in you choosing your dress from start to finish, who are the sweetest and most helpful ladies at a boutique and who believes in giving the highest level of customer service, I highly recommend you go to Occasions!

    Warm, friendly welcome and throughout the entire dress selection process made my daughter feel like a queen. We had been to several other dress stores prior and was thoroughly impressed with the owner's attention and helpfulness.

    I was very nervous about starting to shop for a dress because I am very indecisive. My experience here was beyond what I expected. I could not be happier with their service and assistance. I felt like the experience was made easy by Gail! Their selection and prices were great and I did not feel overwhelmed when I walked in. I highly recommend Occasions!

    I did not think I would find my dress so quick or so easy. But the staff at Occasions were so warm and friendly. After trying on 3 dresses I found the gown of my dreams and it was even better that it was on sale. I even bought my bridesmaids there to look for and try on dresses, and her staff was extremly helpful and professional. Looking forward to my big day now :)

    Occasions Bridal's reply:

    Syreeta,
    I too can;t wait till your big day . You are going to be a beautiful bride. I have so loved working with both you and your girls.

    All the best Gail

    As a very self-conscious bride, working with Gail at Occasions was refreshing. She is genuine, caring, and kind. She really worked to make me feel comfortable, and she seemed just as excited about the dress I picked as I was! I found a dress that was much better in quality and more gorgeous than anything at "the D word," and still more affordable. My dress was available for pick-up more quickly than I anticipated also.
    She has a wide range of sizes available.

    I purchased 2 wedding dresses from Occasions and it was a wonderful experience! If you are looking for unique one of a kind dresses this is the only places to go! Gail will make you feel like a princess and knows exactly what looks good on all body types. I have purchased several dresses here and have always had a great experience.!!

    I found an amazing dress at occasions and truly felt amazing on my wedding day. From the first day I walked in they were courteous and accommodating even when I did not have an appointment. They were able to save the dresses I was interested in to be able to bring back my sister, and I have the worst schedule and they were able to accommodate times that worked for me! They were so helpful suggesting jewelry and veil, and I was able to add a lace jacket to my dress which really completed the look. I am not an emotional person and with Gayle and Occasion's help truly had that bridal moment. They were timely in getting my dress and accessories and even helped my mom (who might be one of the pickiest people I have ever met) find a dress which I honestly thought would take months! I cant thank Gayle and the rest of the staff for an amazing experience! Thank you!

    I have known Gail for many years. She and her team are great at finding the right dress for you for the "Occasion". I purchased a dress for my prom from her and recently a dress to wear at my cousin's wedding. When I walked into the shop I didn't really know what I wanted. Gail picked out a dress that she thought would look nice on me. My mom loved it. Honestly I wasn't too over the moon about it myself, but as I walked around at my cousin's reception I truly fell in love with the dress. Thanks Gail for knowing which dress was right for me without me even realizing it! You are the best!

    Gail is a family friend so we always knew for my wedding gown we would be taking a trip to occasions. Gail opened her shop up just for us on a sunday- which I know she will do by appointment for regular customers. She really makes you feel like the only bride in the world. She has a great eye for what looks good on a womans body and is open and honest when she feels a girl is going in the wrong direction. Gail also has a seamstress two doors down from her boutique and that is very convenient. I have known Gail for my entire life and I was so happy with my experience at her shop.

    I purchased mother of the groom gowns for both my sons' weddings from Gail at Occasions Bridal, and I have been extremely happy with my shopping experience. Gail was very helpful as she is very knowledgeable about style and color and what looks good on you! There is a large selection of dresses and gowns to choose from. It has been such a pleasure to deal with such a delightful lady and to find an ensemble that makes me look and feel so glamorous on such special "occasions!" I highly recommend this shop.

    Occasions Bridal is the reason I was able to find my perfect wedding dress. Upon first appointment, Gail was extremely helpful and filled with love not only for her clients but her job. There is no question she loves what she does as it shines through in every interaction we had with her. Gail took time with me and my family and made each of my trips to Occasions one I looked forward to.
    I found my wedding gown at Occasions and truly could not have been happier with how beautiful it was. I truly felt like a princess on our wedding day – blushing with compliments from family and guests at what a beautiful wedding gown I had.
    I attribute all of that to Gail and her knowledge, expertise and care. The jewelry we picked out at Occasions beautifully complimented the dress and made the “WOW” factor.
    Thank you Gail for helping me find a dress more amazing than I ever imagined.

    Occasions Bridal's reply:

    Corrie-Beth,

    Thank You for the lovely compliment. It was such an honor to be part of your wedding , helping you pick out your dream gown. Can't wait to see some photos
