I'd just like to share my opinion and offer advice to those of you who haven't bought your wedding dress yet. Please, please, please do NOT go to Paradise Bridal in Patchogue. It was an absolute nightmare working with that company. My wedding dress didn't come in until 3 weeks before my date and I really think if I hadn't gone there in person and practically harassed them...who knows what would've happened. Basically everytime I was there I heard others horror stories. It's not right that they get away with all the things I heard about. They have terrible customer service and no one should have to go though what I and all these others went through. Even the employees were yelling at each other in front of customers. There's a ton of places to buy a dress...go elsewhere and save yourself the hassle.

I purchased my dress through them and now I'm getting nervous. I thought the customer service was excellent. They were the only authorized retailer of Maggie Sottero dresses from Queens all the way to Patchogue that would find the dress I was looking for. They were extremely nice to me while I was there. I'm only hoping it doesn't turn into a horrible experience.

Don't worry, I ordered my dress from there and it came in with plenty of time. It fell off of me when I tried it on for the first time because I lost 30lbs and the seamstress made it look gorgeous and it fit perfectly.

My only issue was that I didn't know how expensive the bustle was going to be.

Don't worry and don't let a few negative reviews get you down. Everything will be OK!

Thanks! I just have to go with my gut feeling and so far I have nothing bad to say about them. I think it is just personal experiences with places. The lady I met with said she was happy I came in early, some brides come in 6 months before their wedding and want specific dresses that won't get their in time. I've also had terrible experiences at places people highly recommend on here, one of them being a florist I met with tonight. Yikes!!!
