Wedding Salon of Manhasset

I found my dress here! I visited during their sample sale and I highly recommend that everyone check out their selection. They have the greatest designers and a lot of them were part of the sample sale including a Spring 2016 Carolina Herrera! The sale also included dresses by Hayley Paige, Oscar de la Renta, Reem Acra, etc. My sample was in incredible condition and the price was perfect.
Huge shoutout to Alyssa who was absolutely amazing. She was so patient and pulled multiple sale dresses for me try. She spent more than an hour with me until we found the perfect dress.

Omg where do I begin. I had a lovely visit at the wedding salon of manhassat my consultant Noreen was amazing. She really knew what look I was going for and moved heaven and earth to help me get it. The owner of the salon was also wonderful and i was even able to get an inbal dror veil to match my gown for a great price. I highly recommend this salon the gowns are wonderful and the customer service cannot be beat. Thank you so much Noreen you rock!!!

Stella was my consultant and I could not have been happier! She understood exactly what I was looking for in a wedding dress and made me feel relaxed and at ease. Stella was literally my lucky charm!!! Not only did she help me find my wedding dress but it ended up being the sample which was a huge bonus !!!

Walked in to an unwelcoming elderly woman at the desk. We told her we didn’t have an appointment but would like to take a look at some wedding dresses, if there’s a time slot available. She said well look around and then you can make an appointment. Very little selection of dresses. As we walked around no sales person was friendly enough to smile or even ask if we needed help. All We got were stares. We were the only group of color and totally felt unwelcome and our business wasn’t wanted .
Don’t waste your time. Little selection of pricey dresses that were NOT impressive.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME !!! I came into the store today with no appointment as a last minute run to look for a wedding dress for my cousin. We had no appointment but decided to come to take a look at a few dresses. As soon as we walked in we were stared down by 4 – 5 consultants huddled at the front desk. Finally the receptionist said that there weren’t any consultants free today but we were free to look around. As we looked around we were being stared down and wasn’t even greeted by any of the consultants with a smile. No one asked if we needed help or had any questions. They’re were supposedly so busy but had the consultants standing around in the store. There was only 1 group of people there trying on dresses. We walked out while they were still staring at us, not even bring stopped by the receptionist to ask if we wanted to come back in.
Prices are too high and the selection is very narrow. Go some place else unless you want snotty service.
Most awkward and unwelcoming place ever.

I had the BEST experience yesterday. The entire staff was so pleasant to work with. Everyone seems very genuine. I worked with Allegra and she was amazing! I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to work with her. I felt like she was able to figure me out pretty quickly. She was patient and helpful, answered every question I had. She helped me have the total bride experience. Thank you thank you! The store has SO many BEAUTIFUL dresses to choose from, that was the tough part. Love my dress!

Sonia the manager and all her staff are amazing !! From the moment I walked into the salon I felt I was in good hands ! Casey the seamstress is a miracle worker !! Hands of gold ! The selection of dresses is elegant and from the top designers !! My dress was beautiful !!

I could not be more grateful for Wedding Salon of Manhasset.
I searched high and low, and even across the country (seriously) to find my wedding gown. I visited everything from consignment bridal shops in Virginia, to private boutiques in San Diego, to the mother of all wedding dress shops Kleinfeld NYC. I have never felt more welcomed, appreciated and heard than I did at Wedding Salon Manhasset.
At first I was extremely hesitant to come here because I felt my max budget of $ 3500 wouldn’t go far but boy was I wrong. My consultant Rosa was nothing short of amazing; she was truly incredible. She listened to what I told her I was looking for and brought me dresses to try on that were exactly what I asked and even threw in a few curveballs because as she put it, «just try it!». None of the dresses she showed me were above my budget, she didn’t try to upsell me or have me fall in love with a gown I couldn’t comfortably afford. When the time came that I found the perfect dress, it was not only in my budget but it was $ 1000 cheaper than my max!
My experience here was fantastic and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Please do not be discouraged by previous reviews. While this salon does carry many high end and couture designer dresses, if you are honest with your consultant about your budget and expectations you will find your dream gown. I am so happy that I chose to come here, and ultimately found my gown. I am confident in the professionalism of the entire staff that not only am I taken care of, but also my bridesmaids and their dresses as well.

Let me start by saying that the staff here, or at least those that I encountered, were really wonderful, helpful and professional. The attendant who helped me out was really great at her job and you could tell by the way she made adjustments on the dresses I tried, that she is a skilled tailor with fashion training. She is worth 5 stars on her own, but unfortunately, her expertise was hindered by the limitations of the store.
The store is small and you’re kind of on top of the other brides; the mirrors and pedestals are all in one area and they’re pretty close together. It takes away from the experience.
The selection is small and expensive, with a budget of $ 3.5k, I had very few options to try. The sizes are also small, one of the dresses I tried was a runway size from a trunk show… not surprisingly I couldn’t get it all the way on. I’m a size 6 (in regular clothes) and 75% of the dresses had to be left open in the back, which is kind of depressing when you’re trying to choose something that is going to make you look your most beautiful.
Bottom line, I left this place feeling really disappointed and discouraged. I absolutely would not recommend that you go here unless you are looking for something specific that you know that they carry.
I agree with others who say that they should let you know ahead of time that they only accommodate certain sizes. It’s definitely a kick to the self esteem, even though for me it was one dress that didn’t fit, it didn’t feel good. I wouldn’t have wasted my time going to this salon had I bothered to look at the reviews before booking my appointment.

Very disappointing experience for my future daughter in law. Our visit featured an inattentive consultant, a VERY limited number of sample sizes, and dresses that were in poor shape. When she asked her consultant to help her out of the gown she was trying on, my daughter in law was told just pull over your head and the consultant then turned away from her. The consultant also suggested we buy a dress after holding it up against her and saying I can order this your size. I don’t think this is the way anyone would want to purchase her wedding gown.
Maybe they were having a bad day.

I have been to a couple high end salons in NYC as well as in Dallas and a few smaller boutiques and the Wedding Salon of Manhasset, by far, offered the best selection and atmosphere that appealed to my taste. Vera Wang, Inbal Dror, Matthew Christopher, Anne Barge, Rivini. If you want a unique gown, I highly recommend this place. I was able to try on gowns I had been interested in from seasons prior too. I ultimately purchased an ML gown on my 2^nd visit, during a trunk show. Naomi was my consultant from the beginning, and she is awesome — patient, sweet, maternal. I am a Dallas native and did not have the comfort of my mom and close friends with me on my visit but Naomi was kind enough to help me take pictures and even let me FaceTime my mom as I tried on my top contenders. There are huge windows in the salon which is great because it allows you to see your gown in natural light. From the beginning, I never once felt pressured and they were very respectful of my price range. I will update more once the gown comes in and after alterations. Thanks Naomi!

Just purchased my wedding dress here and Naomi my consultant was great! The owner worked with us on the price and even threw in a free veil! Great salon with stunning gowns, the selection isn’t huge but just enough for you to find the perfect gown without being overwhelmed!

Could not have been more impressed by this place… especially my consultant Noreen. She was simply the best.
My budget was not lavish (3K) and I had PLENTY of dresses to chose from (contrary to what some other reviews say)…I was even able to try on a couple of Vera Wang gowns. Noreen was incredibly attentive and listed to the feedback me and my family had with each dress. She has been at the salon for years and provided wonderful insight into fabrics, and the designers they sell.
Ultimately, I tried on 7 – 8 dresses, and went with a beautiful Anne Barge dress. I had the option to directly order the dress from the designer, but the dress was in such great condition (in my size!) and because it was from last season Noreen offered to sell it to me as a sample (it is in FABULOUS condition), saving me a lot of $.
Their selection is top notch– they have everything from lace fit and flares to intricate ball gowns. And, they have such a wide range of price points that any bride can find something they would love here.
I look forward to returning in the winter for my alterations appt. One thing I do have to say, alterations here are NOT cheap. $ 650 for alterations and my alterations are going to be on the minor side. However, if their level of service is the same as it is on the sales floor, I am happy to pay more.

Top-​notch quality service mixed with the newest, designer dresses! Charmaine was a doll, she was fully invested in me, and the experience! She handpicked dressed and helped me find the dress of my dreams!

Naomi was amazing! She was there for me from the start! Listened to my rambling and confusion and did everything she could. Sam who helped her was great too.
I’ll update after the dress comes in and I have the fitting.

I searched high and low, all over for a gown. I went to most Long Island bridal shops (regardless of reputation or budget), department stores, a few higher end stores in the city, and Kleinfeld. Despite my lower budget, the staff at this store treated me more nicely than any other store I went to. Also, their gown selection was unbelievable. Absolutely gorgeous, and more unique than other places I went to. Yes, Kleinfeld had some gorgeous and unique gowns, if you are happy to spend over $ 8k on a gown. The gorgeous gowns at Manhasset were over my desired budget, but not by a lot. They seemed worth it. They were having a Matthew Christopher trunk show when I went there. I must have tried on at least 12 gowns, and I felt fabulous in all of them. (Most places I went, I felt plain or frumpy in most of the gowns.) I made the mistake of not purchasing one that I fell in love with, because I didn’t want to act too fast and knew that my Kleinfeld appointment was still coming up. I figured I should wait to see what they had there. I now regret it, especially because I would love to purchase a gown from the lovely Sania, who helped me at Manhasset. She was super attentive, sensitive, and even had a good sense of humor. That gown was only available for the trunk show, but I will most likely be returning to Manhasset soon to see if I can purchase it through them.
One of the owners was nearby and seemed a bit intimidating, so perhaps that could explain some people’s experiences there… However, she was helping a very high maintenance customer, who made a point to kinda rudely take the mirror/​pedestal I was using (that my future mother-​in-​law and sister-​in-​law were sitting right next to) while I was changing… even though there were free ones on either side of it… aaaand she stood there in one dress, foreverrrr like a crazy woman asking questions about how she could modify it… so maybe it wouldn’t be quite fair for me to judge the owner in that instance ;-) Also, the owner is very adamant about the no picture rule.

My best friend bride and I, along with the rest of the wedding party, came in here one Saturday. We came here ONLY because there was a dress she had been eyeing and wanted to try on and they had it.
This place is ridiculous. I was expecting a high-​class, snooty staffed salon and instead we were met with a lackluster experience, complete with snooty staff. I guess half my expectations were met.
The place has ZERO sizes for one. I’m sorry but if you’re going to carry dresses, than carry them for the average woman. The largest size they carried was a 10. We all know that this is more like a 6 or an 8 in regular clothes. The saleswoman also made a point of making a comment to my friend that «her size» wasn’t one they typically carried. Hmm, maybe you should reference that on your website.
The dresses themselves were not impressive, couture or not, they were not flattering, pretty or clean. They all look yellowed.
I’m glad she didn’t find her dress here because we left, went to lunch, went somewhere else and then found THE dress. Don’t waste your time here.

I had a TERRIBLE and HORRENDOUS experience at the Wedding Salon of Manhasset.
I was looking forward to going here, as I imagined it would be a first class experience. I had a personal contact with the manager at the salon, so I expected that I would be in good hands.
First, when my mom and I walked in, we were not greeted. There were about 4 sales personnel gathered at the front desk, when we walked in. No one said, «Hi, how may we help you?». They all just stared at my mom and I like we were at the wrong place. Finally, one of them spoke up and asked if they could help us.
My sales woman, Mary, was extremely rude and made me feel very uncomfortable. It seemed all she cared about was making a sale instead of making me, the bride happy. I tried on about 7 dresses, and found one dress that I was interested in. This salon was the first place I went to try dresses on, and Mary told me, «You should have come here last» in a smug and condescending manner. Then, she told me, «Don’t bother coming back if you’re not going to buy the dress.» I looked at mom in disbelief. Did this woman, who I am potentially going to spend THOUSANDS of dollars with, just tell me this? After I heard that, I left the store and decided that even if I loved a dress there, I would go out of my way not to buy it from them.
The only good thing about this salon is the designer dresses they carry, which are hard to come by at other salons. I did not find their prices to be that high, considering the designers.
I cannot believe how poorly I was treated here.
DO NOT give this pretentious, uncaring salon your business!!!

Awesome salon! I loved 2 dresses but they were outside of my budget after crunching some numbers.
You get a personalized experience and the way the shop is set is beautiful too. They have large windows and if you go when the sun is peaking out, you can really get a sense of how you’d look on your wedding day. I loved that!!!
I worked with Charmaine and she was cool!!! She knows her stuff.
The dresses I tried on were mostly smaller sizes but I guess that’s what the designers send… otherwise go have fun!

I was very excited to go to this place. It looked beautiful on their website and I’ve been by it many times. Our appointment was this past Wednesday. Our consultant was very nice. I tried to tell her what I was looking for but she didn’t seem to actually care. She didn’t ask me any questions she just pulled dresses. I told her I don’t mind trying them on, but they aren’t my style. After a few more dresses in the same style she started to tell me which we’re her favorites in the store. I told her those are very beautiful but not really what I was looking for. She then proceeded to pull more dresses in the same style.
Also in the beginning of our appointment I asked to try on a Carolina Herrera dress. They said no problem they were unpacking them now. Our appointment kept going and I was curious where the dress I asked to try on was. She said they are still unpacking them but they are higher than my price point. I told her that I work in the fashion industry and I would still like to try it on. Her response was «oh well». At that point I was frustrated and I could tell she was too because I wasn’t going to buy the dresses that weren’t my style.
After the appointment was over I asked her for the style number of one dress she said no problem. I had to ask her four more times and still didn’t get it. She ended up walking away and I had to ask the person at the front desk, Who also didn’t want to give me the number. She wrote down the designers name on a business card. At that point I was done. I politely said thank you.
Isn’t the wedding supposed to be about my favorites and my style, not hers? I had high hopes for this place. I was very disappointed.
After we left this place we went to kleinfeld and bought a dress.
