VENDOR RAVE!!!!

This is a little long-- if you dont want to read thw whole thing jump down to the third paragraph-- you'll get the picture!!

I cannot say enough about Patty at Paradise Bridal in Patchogue!! She is UNBELIEVABLE!!!! When FH and I first got engaged & we were starting the wedding plans I went dress shopping at a few places- Macy's Smithtown, Centerreach Bridal, Bridal Suite of Bayshore, Adriennes, TWC-- and no place compares to Paradise-- and NO ONE compares to PATTY!!! Once I found paradise last year that is the only place I went- I was there maybe 4 times-- for HOURS AND HOURS!! She would just pull out dress after dress-- never complaining!!! I want a big ballgown, So everytime I put a big ballgown on she would go under the skirt and fluff up the crinolin to make it bigger!! She was awesome-- then FH & I got involved with our house and a renovation and we completely put the wedding on the back burner until now. Well, through the last 9 months she called maybe 4 times-- just telling me when I was ready she was there- very nice. I started dress shopping again last week & I couldnt get an appt at Paradise so I went to TWC-- I didnt like the place- but I found a dress that I love!! I left and called Paradise to see if they have a sample-- they don't -- but they can order the dress for me. I went to paradise last night as soon as Patty saw me she screamed-- ran over-- gave me a HUGE hug & a kiss-- noticed that I lost weight (I knew I loved her!!) & I felt right at home at paradise!! Now, for me it is down to two dresses- one that they have at paradise & one that is only at TWC. Patty tried to have a sample ordered for me so that I could try it on there-- i REALLY want her opinon!!! But unfortunately-- they only have it in a 2 for a sample....SO not my size She kept saying that she loved the dress that I had on (at paradise) but she couldn't compare it. Ok-- GET THIS:

She offered to meet me at TWC in Commack-- say that she's my aunt JUST so that she can see me in the other dress to compare the two. THIS IS ON HER OWN TIME!!!!! Can you believe that???? She had the morning off today & she spent the whole morning trying to get the sample-- she was calling me at work and updating me-- UNREAL! I cannot believe that she would take her own time, drive all the way to Commack just to help me make up my mind after I have spent HOURS of her time never buying anything!!!!!

Needless to say- I ADORE her and HIGHLY reccomend her to ANYONE who is dress shopping! Besides the fact that Paradise lets you take pictures and they turn the lights off & show you DJ lighting so that you will see what your dress will look like at your reception!!! SO AWESOME!! Paradise is awesome & if you go there ask for Patty!!!!! (ps- the first time I went there I wasnt crazy about her at first- but she SOOOOO grew on me!!!!!!!!)

I got my dress at paradise too - Not with Patty but with a different lady. My mom really liked paradise and they were very patient with her and the 20 times we went to try on different dresses!

i've been working with marge there and i'd totally recommend her too!! my mom and i walked in right after i got engaged, just for fun, not knowing you needed an appt and even though it was a busy sunday, she still made time for us. she was such a sweetheart and was also a great help when i went back to look for BM dresses. i just adore her.

my ONLY word of advice is that you may want to look elsewhere for alterations. i grew up in patchogue, so i've shopped there for proms and such and while they have a great selection and great sales ladies, they've never managed to alter a dress properly for me. in fact, my senior prom dress ended up so tight that i couldn't wear a bra and the straps were a good inch too long on both sides and kept falling down all night. i've also heard a lot of stories of bad alterations, so just to be safe, i'm not going to use their seamstress.

however, like i said above, i LOVE marge and would completely recommend purchasing dresses there!!!

Really?? I'm so surprised to hear that!! I was looking forward to having my gown altered there because I know patty is involved the whole way!! I guess I'll have to rethink that!

I ordered my dress from Paradise too. I didn't have Patty, but I had a great experience.
