We went this past wkend to look at BM dresses and I was so impressed. They were so helpful - they pulled anything I was thinking about and knew their inventory so well. They said they would match or beat any competitor price. IMO for BM dresses I would def choose them over RK Bridal...so much more helpful!

Re: Commack Wedding Center
I highly suggest you RETHINK using them.. They were the worst experience i have ever had as far as weddings are concerned Yes they have agood price, yes they have a good selection BUT it does nNOT make up for the crap that they put you through They were COMPLETELY RUDE and INCONSIDERATE...not to mention BAD at alterations!
IF you are intent on buying the dresses there...GET THEM ALTERED ELSEWHERE!!!!
Trust me...you will not regret it

Re: Commack Wedding Center
I got my dress there. Cheapest price I found. I had no problems, but didn't get the alterations done there. I heard very bad things about their alterations.

This is what I was going to say. I had a great experiance with my dress. And at first everything for my BM dresses were great..... well you can read everything in my review on the brides review board if you are interested.

Re: Commack Wedding Center
Despite many bad reviews of Commack Wedding Center, my experience with them has also been good so far. We didn't buy my gown there, but all 9 of my BM's bought their dresses there. They came in in less time than anticipated. My MOH picked hers up last week and said everything went well. All the girls are going to private seamstresses to get them altered. I think that for the discounted prices you get its well worth it there!

Re: Commack Wedding Center
I had a bad experience with them too. We went to try bm dresses and the girls basically had to get the dresses themselves. It was as if we were bothering them. I was VERY upset about the whole experience. If your looking to save money try phyllis from gownfind or Burton's bridal.

Re: Commack Wedding Center
The only other experience I had looking for BM dresses was RK Bridal. Its total chaos there and there is absolutely no assistance with finding things. (Don't get me wrong - I think RK is awesome for bridal gowns and very helpful in that department) The reason I started this post was b/c I was so surprised at how helpful everyone was at Commack - they pulled any dress I was even thinking of using and then when I wanted to see a certain color of that designer they would go pull a dress in that color so I could see it on (and not just in a small swatch)...I was just so suprised at how patient they were w/ me. I was not planning on having the dresses altered by them but would definitely suggest going there if you want help w/ picking out a BM dress.

Re: Commack Wedding Center
I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but was always disappointed every single time I went there. They are very rude and inconsiderate. I was standing there for 15 minutes before someone asked me if I needed any help....so disgusted. My friend purchased her wedding gown there (obviously did not know about this site) and got her dress altered there. The seamstress ruined her dress and had the nerve to tell her that it's not her fault that her gown had so much beading.....WHAT!! that couldn't of been me. I would of been on the news. I would agree with everyone that says not to get your gown altered there or even purchase it there.
Good luck!

Re: Commack Wedding Center
In my opinion 90% of wedding places are rude because to them you are just a sale. I have heard horror stories about so many bridal shops. Then you always find someone who says something good. Point is when you are planning a wedding you are basically relying on other people to ensure your day is perfect....scary. I am getting my BM dresses there and I have heard both good and bad stories. The dresses there were $60 cheaper and that was a plus in my book. I am however, having the dresses altered elsewhere.

I have to agree with you. I have heard a lot of negative reviews of the Commack Wedding center, but I have to say that my experience there was very pleasant - until my mom and I went to pay and I found out that they can't store your dress more than 2 months if it comes in early and the alterations START at $250! (just for the hem and bustle)
So I will be getting alterations done elsewhere. Other than that though, it was a good experience. (so far!)

I don't think 90% are rude because you are a sale, though I tend to think they'd be nice to get the sale. JMO
