OMG I was just going to write a new post asking the very same thing. I just talked to them on the phone and they were very nice. I made an appointment in 2 weeks. I'll let you know how it goes. By the way, their price on the dress I want was the lowest of any of the bridal salons that I called. HTH.

I live in westchester, the only one I would EVER go to , would be Botticelli's in Bronxville.

Re: Fontana's in Westchester

Fontana's was okay, the selection of dresses under 2k was very limited. I had an older woman as my consultant and since they do not have all of the dresses out on the floor it's important to have a consultant that understand what you want. I didn't find anything there.
I did have a great experience at MeMe's in Larchmont. Botticelli was nice, but they are much more high end...most dresses were 3000 or more

I went to Meme's, Amelia's and Botticelli's. The woman at Botticelli's was incredibly RUDE to me I actually left without trying on anything! In the end I found my dress at Amelia's- They are incredibly nice to work with-They do not have a huge selection but their prices do include alterations (at least they did last summer). Back to your original question Fontana's has a good reputation-my good friend bought her wedding gown there a couple of years ago- I know they are a little $$$.
