The Wedding Center in Commack

I bought a gorgeous Jasmine dress at the Wedding Center for less than a thousand dollars. Now, I am hearing bacd things on this site about them... So, ofcourse I'm getting worried now about alterations and such. Does anyone have any tips?

Yes, I would not use them if you are looking for that 'special attention' . However if that is not as important as the price, I would proceed.

We went there & walked out, we felt like it was bridal mill. But having the personal attention was very important to us.

good luck in whatever you decide!

I think that I am buying my Bridesmaid dresses from TWC... but I am NOT doing any alterations there... I am bringing them to a separate seamstress - who is a vendor on this site. She is VERY reasonable. Check her out.. Cathy Fiorenti - under Alterations.

I think it's okay to get the dress from there, but I would get it altered somewhere else.

I went there looking and found dresses that I liked but I didn't like how they treated me. It was almost as if I was a bother to them. However a friend of mine got her dress there and it was beautiful but she did get the alterations done else where.

I agree

They have no cap on alterations. Also be careful because if you don't come to get your dress when they tell you it is in they will charge you a $1 a day until you pick it up.

I bought my wedding gown there. I didn't have any issues at all. my dress came in after 2 months and I picked it up fro there ASAP. I had my alterations done somewhere else (FM me for info if you want to). CWC charges a ridiculous amount of $$ for alterations (the cost is on par with Kleinfelds!) and I have also heard a lot of negatives about their work.

all in all, my experience there was not a bad one.

I bought my dress from there too, but got the alterations done else where and so did my bridal party.

I also got my wedding dress there for a great price and I absolutely love it. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I went back last week to try on the dress for friends and the staff was still helpful. I have heard bad things about their allterations on wedding gowns and that they are very expensive for alterations. I think I will proably take my dress somewhere else for the alterations.
