Re: WEDDING CENTER IN COMMACK!

it's like all wedding centers--you hear good...you hear bad. i am using them for a photo/video pkge. i've seen their previous work, and the album that one of my BM's got from them was gorgeous.

if i bought a dress from them, i would have it altered somewhere else. but otherwise, i see nothing wrong with them. in my eyes, a place that's been in business 30+ years in the wedding industry, is doing something right.

Re: WEDDING CENTER IN COMMACK!

My problem was with alterations.

I agree. I've heard worse things about 'nicer' stores like Bridal Reflections... like wedding gowns FALLING APART during someone's wedding!

IMO, that's 100,000x worse than anything I have heard about the CWC!

OMG!! i know!! on the knot LI boards--i think last month a girl got a dress from either there or some other 'fancy' place--and she spent 45 min. during her reception being sewn into her gown when the zipper came undone!

seriously--CWC has received a bad rap from ppl who spread the rumors of someone else's experience. (i.e.--'I heard that a girl had this problem.' or 'People say this..') I mean yeah i admit the dress dept. can get crazy, but otherwise they are great and offer great prices for those of us who can't afford to spend like $5-6K on photo alone.

(not dissing those that can--if you can more props to ya.)

I can understand if someone says the store is cheesy, because it TOTALLY is! but... I got the dress I wanted at the price I wanted, can't ask for more than that! I did not have alterations done there however.

Re: WEDDING CENTER IN COMMACK!

i got my BM dresses from there. No problems thus far. I might not due the alterations there though. I have heard some bad things about their alterations.

Re: WEDDING CENTER IN COMMACK!

I've heard lots of bad things too. I picked out my dress there and did a little research and decided I definately didn't want to buy it there. They have no cap on alterations and charge you a fee if you don't pick the dress up immediately. I can't stand Bob either...so irritating.

Re: WEDDING CENTER IN COMMACK!

There is a cap on alterations at the wedding center. It is $55. I felt that the sales people their were helpful and honest. I could have afforded to go somewhere else for dresses, but I felt that other places were so pushy and phony (bridal reflections) that I wanted to be somewhere where you knew the owner. Bob is pushy, but he's not phony. That's key. Anyway, you'll hear a million opnions, but I know that I had a good experience there, and I'm sure others too, or it wouldn't have been in business for 30+ years. I met Bob, his daughter (who's really cool), etc.
