Judy is absolutely amazing and made my wedding what is turned out to be! I planned my micro wedding and 6 weeks which made me believe that I couldn’t have a true bridal gown because there just wasn’t enough time. I ordered a simple white dress online but wanted to see if I could find a true bridal gown before my big day. That’s when I found Judy and all my hopes were answered. Her shop is off the rack, she does alterations, her knowledge and expertise are evident, and she is truly focused on finding you the dress that is meant for you. She is the whole package! Every appointment you have with her she makes you feel special, heard and removes and stress or worries you might be feeling. My mom and I live on opposites coasts and she couldn’t attend in person but Judy went above and beyond to make my mom apart of the process. She even scheduled it so my mom could attend the final fitting while my mom was in town before the big day. My mom and I will forever be grateful we found Judy and that she was able to work her magic in such short notice. I cannot recommend enough and I will boast about her to anyone with ears.
I absolutely love this shop and the owner Judy. I had the typical 2020 wedding planned and had to cancel twice. As the new date 8/12 approached, everything was going great. Then, I had a seamstress I was referred to as being in the business for over 30 years literally cut my dress in front of me and then had me try it on, and say I ruined your dress. She had cut it incorrectly and one side was showing my calf. I literally started to cry because this was the final fitting and my wedding was about 10 days away. I thought about cancelling again because I thought there was no way to get another dress and get it altered in that time frame. I called my sister in law and she calmed me down. Monday she made some calls and came across The Bridal Secret. We both were unfamiliar with it but Judy offered to open the shop that day just to come in. We ended up going the following day. Judy warned us she could not tailor the dress because she was just too busy. Luckily I found a dress I loved but it was too long. Judy took it upon herself to make some calls and found a tailor that said he could alter the dress. On my way home, I received a call from Judy asking when can you be at Michael Boston for the Bride which happened to be in my town! I was shocked and on my way. Micheal started working on my dress that night and it came out amazing. Throughout the week, Judy checked in on me frequently to see how things were going. She was so caring and helpful. I ended up getting married as planned. I highly recommend Judy and The Bridal Secret.
Judy is absolutely amazing! I originally met her while shopping with my friend for her dress. Her knowledge and expertise is amazing and immediately puts you at ease. She truly is focused on finding you that one and only dress. Not only does she help you find you an amazing dress she does an amazing job with alterations! I personally did not purchase my dress from her but after I met her I knew I could trust her for my alterations. She was amazing and made the whole alterations process easy and stress free! The one thing I never stressed or worried about during my wedding planning process was my dress and I will be forever thankful to Judy for that! I can’t wait to wear my dress on my day!
The Bridal Secret is a must for all brides. Judy, the owner is magic. When we went to Judy she graciously allowed me to pull and try on dresses from her extensive and beautiful inventory. After a bit, Judy directed me to a dress that she just knew was “the one”. I put it on, with my eyes closed, and walked out to the big mirror. We instantly knew it was the one! That is Judy’s magic. She takes time to get to know each bride- their personality and body type- and then finds the most perfect look. Judy is a one stop shop! She does all alterations on sight and steams the dress before your big day. If you are looking for a personalized experience that feels like shopping with a best friend- The Bridal Secret is your place.
Judy was absolutely wonderful to work with! From my first time meeting her up through a month after the wedding, she put so much thought and care into my bridal experience. I truly enjoyed the unique intimate aspect of shopping at her salon. It made me feel special to be able to work one-on-one with her to find my dress, rather than have to deal with a traditional super busy store or salon catering to several brides at once. Judy was so thorough and thoughtful throughout the entire process, even fixing a minor detail a few days before the wedding for me. I have already recommended her salon to all of my friends, as this is was hands down the best bridal shopping experience Ive ever had!
I am forever thankful for Judy! I had a bad experience with a previous seamstress and she saved the day and picked up the work, despite how busy she was. Planning a wedding can be stressful and Judy completely put my mind at ease. She even rushed my fittings to work around my busy schedule. I would highly recommend the bridal secret for all of your wedding dress needs!
The best of the best! I could not be happier with the way my dress turned out. Judy is a master of her craft. Highly recommend.
Bridal Secret is an amazing bridal salon. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. The selection of gowns is fabulous. Judy knows exactly what to suggest that will look great on you. She is also a very gifted seamstress and her alterations are to perfection. This was the best experience and I highly recommend you making an appointment.
I highly recommend The Bridal Secret! I initially searched for a convenient location for my mom and I to meet to shop for wedding dresses and came across the Bridal Secret. It was the first place I went to and I found my dress in half an hour because of her beautiful selection! (Our appointment time was for longer, but I just knew the moment I put it on!) In that half hour, though, Judy made my mom and I very comfortable as we had her full attention as she guided me to ultimately saying yes to the dress! I am looking forward to having dress alterations with Judy leading up to the big day.
I got married back in October of 2019 and chose my dress from The Bridal Secret in January of 2019. It was a WONDERFUL experience working with Judy. The dresses in her shop are all beautiful and high quality. She is very knowledgeable and kind! I even ended up losing 6 inches around my waist between January and October, and Judy was able to alter the dress to fit like a glove despite how much my size changed over the months before my wedding. I definitely recommend The Bridal Secret for new brides because the experience is so personalized, unlike chain stores. Your wedding is such an important day in your life, and Judy makes choosing your perfect dress a joyful experience!
I made an appointment in December during the sample sale. I didnt know what to expect, but I ended up walking out the door completely wow-ed and with a BEAUTIFUL dress! The owner is certainly experienced and knows her stuff, shes not just in it for the sales. I walked in thinking I wanted a certain type of dress (from pinterest and other google searches). I know what I definitely didnt want and told her my thoughts. She entertained me and put me in what I *thought* I wanted and very quickly I realized I was SO WRONG. She asked me to trust her and put me in the exact opposite dress with everything I thought I didnt want and the second I put it on I knew it was my dress!! I couldnt believe it!! I felt amazing and NEVER would have tried it on in another store. The owner knows body types and what works for different women. I was so thankful for trusting her and cant wait to wear this dress later in the year!!
Judy was fantastic! She made me feel like I was her only bride and spent so much time on my dress. Every detail was perfect. You can truly feel how much she loves what she does. I could not be happier with the outcome and would recommend her a million times over! Thank you Judy!!!
Judy is amazing! I went in with a vision in my head of what I thought I wanted my dress to look like on my wedding day. I was nervous as it was the first time I was trying on dresses. Judy made the process seamless and kept me at ease. She listened to what I wanted and was super patient with me. In the end I went with a dress Judy suggested, which I was hesitant about trying on since it was the opposite of what I went in looking for! But turned out it was the perfect dress for me. Judy know what she’s doing. Thank you Judy!If you want a beautiful dress without the heavy price tag, this is the place for you. The service you get with Judy is above and beyond.
You will not regret going here!! This was my first time going to look for a dress and went in being a little nervous. When I met Judy that completely turned around. I was so comfortable with the entire process. She knows so much about the dresses and is super nice and very chill! The shop is also super clean. I ended finding a dress today and am in love with it! She’s amazing and I would recommend every bride to go and look here! Judy your amazing thank you!!! :)
Judy was so sweet and knowledgeable. She made the whole wedding dress shopping experience so fun and stress free. Great communications through email and the appointment was very safe. I found my dress in under an hour and couldnt be happier! Thanks Judy!
Judy is very experienced and helped me find my wedding dress! She is very respectful and nice. She has a beautiful shop and even more beautiful gowns. She helped me navigate the different silhouettes and helped me pick one that was so flattering. Very excited for my first fitting which we already booked. Judy is also very organized and very responsive over email and text.
Judy is so knowledgeable and great to work with! Her gowns are gorgeous. Couldnt have asked for a better experience.
I visited the Bridal Secret today and had the most wonderful experience! Judy is so accommodating and knows her stuff. I provided her with the details of the dress I envisioned and I got exactly what I wanted and more! She is so great in helping you find what you need for your special day. I wish I could buy 100 dresses from her. Please check out her salon!
I had a 10/10 experience with Judy at The Bridal Secret. Having a wedding during a pandemic was tough and she was so understanding and wonderful! From the one on one attention at each and every fitting to the amazing and beautiful work she did altering my dress as well as my Mother’s veil from her own wedding in 1969, I can’t say enough about Judy’s shop and knowledge. She’s the best around and I would highly recommend checking out The Bridal Secret to any bride!
My experience with Judy in her beautiful shop was perfect. She guided me every step of the way, made me feel confident and I found the style I love. Narrowing the dresses down was hard, I loved so many. Ultimately, I chose the best dress for me and found out it was an amazing price! I’m so happy with my decision! My guest and I appreciated Judy’s precautions with covid and we felt comfortable in the shop...very clean! She also allowed me to FaceTime in my family to show them my favorites...this was so important. Thank you, Judy!
I cant thank Judy enough for all her patience and advice throughout the whole process. From trying on, purchasing and altering the dress Judy was nothing but professional, and so helpful! She always responded promptly, even when you email her multiple times in a day like me! :)My dress was everything I imagined and then more! The alterations were so beyond perfect, and I felt so confident in my gown.Judys store is beautiful, and she has a great selection of gowns for every body type!I would definitely recommend this store to a new bride shopping for her gown!
I had an awesome experience going dress shopping at the Bridal Secret. Judy was very friendly and my mom and I felt welcome. I wasnt sure what style I wanted so she pulled different style types, there were a lot to choose from. She really knows her stock and has a good eye and knew what would look good on me. I would highly recommend the Bridal Secret to any Bride looking for a dress.
I can’t even explain how great my experience was with Judy! She is so welcoming and makes your feel so comfortable. Even with Covid she made sure everything was perfect. She altered my dress and removed the cap from my mothers veil (38 years old)and replaced it with a clip. The shop is absolutely stunning and when you go for the fittings no one else is there so Judy gives you all the attention which is nice. She even has amazing head pieces that went great with the style of dress and veil I had. This year due to Covid I had to have a small wedding and will have big reception next year and will be back to see Judy for any adjustments I may have to make. I would definitely recommend her to any bride. Thanks for everything Judy ❤️
Judys knowledge and experience working with gowns and brides is unparalleled. She chose gowns that flattered me and matched my vision perfectly. It was hard to choose just one, but she helped me make that decision by asking questions that really got to the heart of what I wanted - even when I was wavering! She genuinely wanted me to be happy with my choice, not just make a sale. And its such a relief that she does the alterations herself; I have so much confidence in her work, she truly is an expert in wedding dresses!Judy also responds to emails with lightening-quick speed and is clearly super-organized. She is just a wonderful business-woman who knows her stuff and loves what she does. I highly recommend Judy. You dont need to go anywhere else, start your dress shopping here!
I had such a wonderful experience on my first appointment, I felt so welcomed and comfortable. I love that the store was reserved just for me, that is a special treat. The gowns are so beautiful and different styles to choose, you will not leave without finding your gown!!!🤗 I was blessed by choosing “Bridal Secret” the first gown I tried was made for me!!! That was just my first appointment and I am excited to go for my next appointment.May GOD continue to bless you and prosper your business as this a business full of LOVE.May the peace and love of GOD be with you!Elisangela 🙏🏾
Judy Judy Judy! My sister and a bunch of my friends recommended her. She is awesome and a pleasure to talk to. When it comes to brides she knows her stuff and what will look best on you! When I went in to try on dresses she picked out styles I never thought I’d like. And I ended up loving so many of them! Her selection is huge and so gorgeous.She’s really funny, upbeat, honest, and tells you how it is. I love people like that! No one wants someone just tell you what you want to hear. She’s super organized and responds quickly to emails or any questions you have.I had my final fitting today and my dress couldn’t fit and look more perfect. The train is pretty long and hard to bustle the way i wanted it but she managed to do it 100 times better than I expected! I ended up making a last minute decision to wear a veil and she even picked one of those out that I loved immediately. And she gave me a cute “something blue” gift I needed!I never write reviews but this one I had to . I recommend Judy and her boutique to any bride looking for an amazing stress free beautiful dress experience!Thank you so much Judy :)
Highly recommend Judy at The Bridal Secret! Went there with an idea of what I wanted and ended up choosing a dress completely different that Judy put aside for me until the day of my first appointment because she thought it was the perfect choice for me and she was right! She is amazing at what she does.
I have been sending friends family and bridal clients to Judy for years. She’s always been my go to for all of my bridal hair clients. After a visit with my cousin to buy her wedding dress I completely understand why everyone loves Judy and her store. Her shop and dresses are beyond beautiful! Our experience was top notch. Not only was my cousin the happiest bride finding her one of a kind dress but Judy saved the day when my maid of honor dress was a disaster with just a week before the wedding. She fixed it all up for me it fit perfectly and made me feel beautiful!! I recommend Judy over and over again!! Her work is amazing and I will continue to only recommend The Bridal Secret to all my brides!
Judy was so helpful! She was the first place I looked for a dress and she made it so easy. I’m glad this was my first appointment because it was the only one I needed.
My daughter and I recently visited The Bridal Secret after an unpleasant experience at another bridal shop. The two experiences were like night and day. Judy’s one-on-one approach made my daughter feel special and allowed us the time to ask questions without ever feeling rushed. Judy was personable, professional and has an impeccable knowledge regarding her work. She runs a top-notch business. I wouldn’t hesitate to send future brides to her shop. Thanks to Judy, my daughter and I created an everlasting memory.
I booked an appointment with Judy after having a discouraging experience at another bridal shop. This was only the second time I tried on dresses, so I was not anticipating finding the dress of my dreams. When I arrived to my appointment, Judy had already picked out several dresses that she thought Id like based off of our conversations via email. She then let me go through all of her dresses (there are so many!) and pick which ones I wanted to try on. I loved that it was just Judy, myself, and my mother in the store. There was one dress in particular that Judy thought I would really like. She had me close my eyes until I stood in front of her mirrors. When I opened my eyes I got the best feeling in the world that I truly hope every bride gets to experience. Thanks to Judy, I found the dress of my dreams and had an unforgettable experience with my mother that I will cherish forever. Thank you Judy for your kindness, patience, and knowledge. I would 100% recommend her business to friends and family.
Judy is AMAZING! I went in with specific ideas but was also open minded and Im so glad I went there because the dress I got is nothing like what I was looking at, but Im obsessed. She has a wide variety of options, and being the only bride in the store made it such a unique and wonderful experience. She was able to give us all of our attention which was very well received both by me and by my guests. I would recommend her to everyone! Go in with an open mind and youll leave with your PERFECT dress. Shes dressed many other women I know and everyone has been thrilled with their experience.
Judy has been such a pleasure to work with. She was easy to communicate with over the internet. We scheduled appointments effortlessly (which for any bridge to be is a huge relief). During our first apt she consistently reminded me to buy a dress I was most in love with. The dress she showed me was one I didn’t know I was going to love, but it was meant to be, and it is so perfect.With covid she has been incredibly flexible and easy to work with. I had no trouble rescheduling appointments. She is sooo thorough about following the protocols in place and making the brides feel safe. Judy is incredibly personable and makes the whole experience amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, plus the price was fantastic!
Going to The Bridal Secret was one of the best choices I could have made while searching for a wedding dress. First of all, before I even had my appointment, Judy was wonderful with communication via email. She worked with my schedule and I loved being the only bride in the store. Although booking a solo appointment may be off-putting to some brides, I dont believe there is any other way to shop for a dress. Judy was 100% focused on finding me the perfect gown and I loved how she was able to read my body language and emotions in each dress. When I had trouble deciding between two, she asked some great questions that got me thinking about how I wanted to look and feel on my wedding day. With Judys knowledge and guidance, I chose the perfect dress! Judy did not pressure me, and all of the dresses I tried on were gorgeous. She stayed within my budget and we already booked my first appointment for alterations. This store is beautiful and Judy knows exactly what she is doing. She takes her job seriously and wants all brides to feel beautiful and confident on their wedding day! Thank you, Judy. You made my dress shopping experience wonderful!
Buying a wedding dress is suppose to be fun but it can also be something that isnt so enjoyable. Fortunately, my experience was amazing thanks to Judy from The Bridal Secret!! Anyone who is looking or knows someone who is looking for a bridal gown needs to go and see for themselves. The selection of different dresses and styles are endless! Judy is so sweet, extremely professional and made finding my dress stress free and exciting! She goes above and beyond to help you find exactly what you are looking for. From the dress to the veil to the jewelry and she even does the alterations herself!! I highly recommend going and shopping here!!
Accompanied my daughter to her appointment today and we both were so impressed. All of Judys dresses are spectacular. In fact, the dresses my daughter tried were so beautiful, she had a hard time choosing. Judy is a pleasure to work with and explained each dress style and what would change upon alteration. My daughter chose the most beautiful dress at a extremely affordable price. Thank you Judy!!!
I absolutely loved my experience at The Bridal Secret! Judy is super responsive through email and that is so important to me! I came in with an open mind and she put me in one beautiful gown after another. I can’t believe how great they all looked on me because I’m a very self conscious person. I absolutely love that it’s a one on one appointment and I completely respect her rules! I’m so excited I found my dress here and I can’t wait for my first fitting!!
I had such a wonderful experience from start to finish with Judy. I went in with an open mind and found the perfect dress- although nothing I ever thought I would wear but it is absolutely perfect. She has a beautiful store and a wonderful selection of dresses. Having her take care of the alterations made the whole process even easier- she even sewed something of my late Nanas into my dress so that she would be close to my heart on my big day. I will always remember this experience and will recommend her to any future bride I meet! Thank you Judy for everything!
I can’t say enough great things about Judy, she’s AWESOME! Tells you how it is and she knows her stuff! My mom, sisters and I were the only ones in her shop which made our experience so special! I really had no idea what I wanted so it’s no surprised the dress I said yes to was one Judy had picked off the rack for me, like I said she knows her stuff! She even let us stick around until my sister could make it after work to give the final approval, so accommodating! My first and last stop! Absolutely would recommend! Looking forward to my first fitting!
I first met Judy when I came in to buy my dress, after not expecting to do so that day! She was kind, knowledgeable and seemed to know exactly what would work. Her level of experience was immediately evident and it made the whole wedding dress buying process simple and fun! I cannot wait to see her (and my dress) at my first fitting in a few months. So if youre looking for a dress, look no further! Judy and the Bridal Secret are absolute Gems!If this would give me a chance to give a second 5 star review, I absolutely would! I had my first fitting with Judy this morning, and it was so great. I was comfortable right away and the process was simple, efficient, and stress free. I cannot wait to put this dress on again!!!
Found my gorgeous wedding dress today thanks to Judy who I have endearingly nicknamed the bride whisperer. She is so incredibly great at what she does. In 2011 my daughter found the most beautiful wedding dress at The Bridal Secret and here we were again today at the new location. So many dresses to choose from. Thank you Judy for making this mature bride feel confident and pretty and finding the perfect dress I had envisioned wearing on my special day.
After having visited multiple bridal salons (including some that seemed chaotic and stressed), I still hadnt found anything that really spoke to me. My first Bridal Secret appointment was a breath of fresh air - the store was quiet (just me and my family), organized, clean and well-lit. First I filled out a short questionnaire about my style/budget/timeline, and then I was asked to browse and pick out a few dresses. I was impressed by the quantity, quality and range of styles! Judy evaluated the questionnaire and my reactions to the dresses I picked out, and then she picked a few out for me to try. I never ever thought Id fall in love with a pure white strapless dress, but Judy is really the Dress Whisperer! She knew exactly how to flatter my body and make me feel gorgeous while staying true to my style (and within my budget parameters). I should have come here first!My wedding was this past weekend, and the dress was perfect. Judy did a fantastic job at the alterations and coordinated the steam/press for me. I would highly recommend Judy and The Bridal Secret, especially to brides who want personalized and experienced attention in a calm setting, and those looking to maximize their budget (designer quality at off-the-rack prices) and/or who have a constrained timeline (no having to wait months for the dress to be made!). Thank you Judy!
Judy is the real deal. From our first email conversation to the moment I left her store, I felt like I had known her all my life. She is fun, down to earth and, most importantly, she knows what she is doing. Judy is a true professional and she knows what you are looking for before you even realize it yourself! I cant wait to go back in September for my first fitting!! Thank you Judy! We love you!
Judy is the nicest person to work with and her store has the most wonderful collection of bridal gowns! She will answered all of your questions which is very helpful when you are looking for just the right dress for your big day. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for that perfect dress! Her new location is so beautiful and the one on one service is second to none. Judy is so organized and professional. All of the reviews I have read on Facebook reflect how her brides fall in love with her and her store.
I was last minute seeking someone to shorten my dress, and Judy came to the rescue! She was quickly responsive to every email and beyond helpful in arranging an appointment time with my complicated schedule. I arrived for my appointment, stressed that my dress would never get done on time, and I was instantly reassured that Judy could work her magic and get it done! She was so friendly, and went above and beyond for me. My dress was perfect at my final fitting and I could not be more pleased with the outcome or The Bridal Secret. The friendliness and professionalism of Judy is above and beyond anything I expected and she made it such a lovely experience for me! I would reccomend this shop to anyone and will be telling anyone who asks to get their dress there! Her space is BEAUTIFUL, and so comfortable. As someone who is relatively insecure, the privacy you get there as a customer is unmatched! And Judy goes above and beyond to make you feel beautiful for your special day!
Judy is phenomenal. She kept me in budget, worked with my travel schedule, and has such an unbelievable talent for what she does. Went here on a whim just to start to get an idea of the type of dress I was looking for and 15 minutes in and four dresses later I found the one! I cant recommend The Bridal Secret enough. She knows what shes doing!
I was very excited to visit and meet Judy to try on dresses based on the reviews and how pleasant she was via email. However she was extremely rude and unprofessional once I arrived. She rushed us out of the location and was very rude to my mother after she made a simple comment about the first dress, after 15 min I knew I did not want to purchase from her. She rolled her eyes at any comments that were made from anyone and made a comment about my skin color that shocked everyone in the room. Overall the selection of dresses was extremely limited and I would not recommend coming here. Not only because the limited amount of pieces available but this is your day and you want to feel special and beautiful and excited, she will not provide that for you and you deserve it.
Judy was focused in helping me find my dress. She pulled about 6 to try on with different styles so I could get an idea of what I liked. She helped me find a dress I felt confident in. I am overjoyed I found my dress. Thanks Judy!! Cant wait to go in for my second fitting
I went to The Bridal Secret after hearing about the shop from my Mom. The reviews I read online made me hopeful that this was going to be the place that I would find my dream wedding dress!! Prior to going to the shop I didn’t have any idea of what style dress I was looking for. Judy was amazing during the process and did a great job pulling different dress selections based on my reaction to previous dresses I tried on. I narrowed it down to three dresses and Judy was kind enough to fit me in another day so my sister could come and see them as well. After I left the first day, I just kept thinking about what Judy had said about remembering how each dress made me feel when I looked in the mirror. I was leaning towards one dress over the other two and Judy having me back with my sister helped seal the deal. My sister cried when I put on my dress and Judy and I agreed that her reaction said it all!! I said yes to the dress that day!! I would definitely recommend going to The Bridal Secret and having Judy help find your dream dress!
Went to look at gowns. After I picked out a few, Judy picked one for me, never would have tried on myself. Stunning dress. Amazing fit. Looks magical. So surprised. Bought it. Very Happy. Owner is knowledgeable about the fit of gowns vs body types. Not pushy. Lets you pick put whatever you want.. Only comments if you ask her. Not rushed. Amazing prices and very unique.Great overall experience
I visited the Bridal Secret because I had heard about the great selection of unique bridal gowns. I am Latina, have very olive skin and was having a horrible time finding a gown that complimented me, Judy was so helpful in helping me find the perfect gown. I am so glad I scheduled an appointment here and should of come here first. If you are having trouble finding the one, then you have to go to the Bridal Secret.
I recently had an appointment with Judy, at The Bridal Secret. She was referred to me by a friend who purchased her gown there. I loved the personal, professional attention my family and I received from Judy and I would recommend brides put Bridal Secret at the top of their list. The selection is beautiful, and prices just right!! I can’t wait to wear my dream dress!
I walked I to the Bridal Secret earlier today like a complete basket case. I kind of had an idea what I was looking for but everything always looks good on a hanger before you actually get it on. Judy was amazing, very professional and knowledable. Even though this was my first time meeting her, I was very comfortable with her, as if weve known each other before. I walked in there very confused, but after 90 minutes working with her I said yes to the perfect dress for me!
Beautiful, intimate shop owned by Judy, an authentic, expert seamstress who intuitively knows which dress will fit your shape. I love that working with Judy is by appointment only and I absolutely can’t wait to see my gown!
I had the best experience visiting The Bridal Secret. Judy is the kindest, sweetest woman ever. She is all about supporting the bride and hearing her wants/needs. I am so happy I went there and would highly recommend it!
*Long Post* From beginning to end my experience with Ms.Judy now also known as “My homegirl” lol was one of a kind . She’s beyond informative and VERY confident in her boutique . Not the type of confident that only wants a sale but the one that will ask just the right questions to make sure once you arrive you’re not going to leave without “Saying YES to the dress” . She’s also straightforward with what she does and doesn’t allow which I love and respect as a fellow business owner . Not only did I say HELL YES to my big day dress but I also felt like family the way she cared for my grandmother (who is disabled) before I even arrived. My grandmothers transportation happened to drop her off a bit earlier than my Appt. It made me nervous since I know she usually goes strictly by appt but luckily she welcomed my grandmother with opened arms and helped her into the building with her wheelchair . I was so honored to be able to have her there with me . She loved the ambiance and of course loved my dress as well .My best advice is to shop around and see different gowns/customer service experience at other bridal shops and make Judy’s one of your last stops . I can almost guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. Oh and you can’t go wrong with the “By Appointment Only” feature. Being the only bride with her attention was an amazing touch. My family and I appreciated that as well .. She definitely lives up to her 25+ years of raving reviews. Thank you again Judy for such a perfect experience ❤️
Judy has been nothing but great with me! I have only been planning my wedding for 4 months because my fiancé will be getting deployed. Judy was so great and squeezed me in to find a dress! I picked my dress up yesterday for my wedding next weekend and could not be happier with my experience here! I would highly recommend her to anyone else!
Judy was very helpful from the moment I emailed her to the moment I walked into her store. Based on the dress I told her I wanted she found me a beautiful gown that I fell in love with. She is very good at what she does. Cant wait for my wedding day to wear my beautiful gown.
Judy is amazing!! From the second I called to ask for an appointment she was extremely helpful. The shop is gorgeous with an amazing selection. She is custom making my veil and I know my alterations will be done to perfection. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking!!!
I said yes to the dress thanks to Judy over at The Bridal Secret . I had such an amazing experience and felt so comfortable with trying on the dresses I picked out .. The store is so well organized which makes it easy to look through the dresses . I am so happy I stopped by today 🙏🏽 Thank you Judy
Judy is truly the best! Everything from picking out my dress (the one I ended up with is the one SHE picked out and knew would look amazing on me), to my fittings, to picking up my dress was seamless. With all the stress that comes with planning a wedding it was SO nice to not have to worry, not once, about anything related to my dress. Judy altered, stored, and pressed my dress--she even made my veil! Now on top of all of this...her dresses are SO AFFORDABLE! This place is seriously such a gem. Any bride who decides to go here will be in good hands. I recommend the Bridal Secret without reservation! Thank you, Judy! Xo
After looking for an intimate setting around the South Shore to set up an appointment for my fiance at the time, I came across The Bridal Secret. After reaching out and setting a date, I was under the impression she would get the experience I was searching for.. she did get the intimate part as it is appointment only for no interuptions, but that is about the only good thing I can say. She was left with a feeling of being rushed (apparently theres no touching other dresses during your try-on which is fully understandable.. however to reject the brides opinions and requests to look at additional dresses, because as the owner you dont feel it is a good fit compared to the ones youve pre-selected, seems a little backwards from a consultant perspective IMO). Unfortunately, that is not where it ends. She was also left feeling extremely uncomfortable about questions towards her and her mothers background (Ill leave the exact wording out, but think you can imagine where this is going). Needless to say, my fiance went elsewhere and was given the treatment a bride should receive. This happened in Nov/Dec 2018, so while I would hope there has been change, judging from previous reviews, these situations should be somewhat expected at this place of business.
I had a very pleasant and easy experience with Judy. Alterations on my dress came out beautiful. Very happy and highly recommend!
If you are looking for your dream dress please go see Judy!!!! She is amazing, has wonderful prices and so many different dresses to choose from! She is honest and caring! I love Judy and would recommend the whole world to go to her!
I Loooooooveeee Judy. She has helped me so much in my decision making process. I cannot say enough. Her store is gorgeous and inviting and I love that she is by appointment so brides aren’t standing next to other brides. Her new location is ammmmaaaazzing. ❤️
Beautiful store, gorgeous gowns my wife and I both purchased gowns here, it was a truly lovely experience and Judy could not have been more accomodating ! Thank you, you made us both feel truly special !
First off, I cannot say ENOUGH about how wonderful Judy is!!! Her gorgeous and impeccably CLEAN shop, The Bridal Secret, is immediately impressive upon walking in. She and her staff are top notch in the industry and her attention to detail is stunning.Second, her prices are amazing!!! They are BRAND NEW DESIGNER dresses for so so much less than the big chain stores. She also has a full range of sizes from Petite Pixie all the way to Gorgeous Goddess. I was worried that as a plus size bride, I wouldnt be able to find anything, but I should never have given it a second thought! Not only did she have my size (and many that were larger), there was such a vast range of styles! I tried on five or six dresses and loved every one more than the last! Besides, with Judys expertise as a seamstress and dressmaker, she is able to hand-tailor every dress to fit a brides body perfectly.Now, I have to mention that she also SAVED my veil. The story goes as such: I bought some fabric and my aunt made the veil for me. I showed Judy and tried it on with my dress, only to find out that my aunt had completely butchered the lace that I bought and sewed it completely wrong!!! Thank GOODNESS I showed it to Judy; she completely revamped the veil and fixed it for me so that it was prettier and more elegant than I could have ever imagined.Finally, Judys drive to go above and beyond what is expected of a great vendor is astounding. She continually impressed me with her knowlegde, skill, professionalism and most important, kindness. In short, if a bride doesnt call The Bridal Secret to be pampered by Judy during an individual consulation appointment, she is doing herself a great dis-service. There are certainly other bridal shops, but there is only ONE Bridal Secret and Judy is one of a kind!!!
Wedding dress shopping was the easiest part of my planning, thanks to Judy. She made the whole process seamless from purchasing the gown, through alterations, and including dry cleaning and proper storage after our wedding. Thank you, Judy!!
Please do not waste your time or energy coming to this location. The owner unfornuatley is a complete racist and will make you feel unwelcomed if your a shade darker than yellow. Its so sad that there are people that still exsist like this.
I was attracted to this place because of all those good reviews. However, I have to share my personal experience to give other bridals a full picture of what they may encounter, at least be prepared and manage their expectations.A few things to note. Judy is the only person who manages the store and also does alteration. So you can imagine she is busy. If you are not sure you will make your decision to buy on the spot, you may want to go somewhere else first. There are way more friendly Bridal shops out there who are more patient and genuinely willing to help. I wish I knew in advance, so I would not have wasted my emotion and time there, and importantly her time too! She is so busy, so dont bother her if you are not sure you know you want to give her the business.You will have an hour of your first appointment. Please set up an alarm at the exact end time so you dont feel rushed and embarrassed when she becomes impatient and try to rush you out. Be mindful that the appointment and experience is not about what you want. Everything is under her control.According to her, you can have a second half an hour appointment - I was told she was busy but can squeeze me in for half an hour. After I said I can go back another time when she is less busy to have an hour although I may not take that long so I dont have to feel rushed if I need to make my decision. She just said half an hour should be enough for you, it has been enough for other bridals. If you dont want that half an hour, I understand. Okay, I got it. There are way more other places to shop and spend for my wedding dress and feel happy about it. I really dont have to go through this. By the way, you can only re-try 2-3 dresses you are interested from the last try (I didnt even get to see many of her dresses the first time at all because she didnt let me, as I said it was under her control what you do there).The name of the store is bridalsecret. It seems it is really very secretive about what she has and how she does things.- You have to agree to her policies before you go. No camera, no kids under 12, only 2-3 guests.- She claimed her dresses are all from designers. I asked her in the store and afterwards who the designers are for the dresses I was interested. She refused to tell me by ignoring my questions in person and in emails. I have no clue where her dresses are from. It is a secret!- You will buy the sample gown, not that you will get a new one.- She only does basic alterations not full service.A bad experience for me. I definitely would not recommend. Hopefully it is just mine. But I do hope to share my experience so you are prepared if you do want to check out her place.Hope these help! Happy shopping! I highly recommend La Reine in Waltham. A heaven for bridals!
She made my dream dress come to life!!! Im absolutely thrilled!!!
Judy was amazing and helped me find the perfect dress!
I have never met a more rude business owner. I would stay far away from this place.
