VENT!! Bridal Suite of Patchogue

Ok...I know I heard this from many of the ladies on here however now I can officially say...

I HATE BRIDAL SUITE OF PATCHOGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, had to get that out. I had scheduled my final fitting for this afternoon at 2:00. I even called yesterday to confirm and to see if they could steam and press the dress and slip for me after so I could take them home today. This way my Mom could bring it back to her place. Sounds good so far, right??

I left my apartment about 1:45 and headed over. The mood was very happy and excited in the car. I had had a few run ins with the atore owner and emplyees before, but my last 2 experiences have been fine.

I walk in and they escort me to the back area where the brides go. I am now prepared to wait a bit because they have some crazy policy of waiting for you to arrive before doing your alterations. (I found out that one the hard way....another story in itself). As I'm sitting there getting even more excited (did I mention the wedding is in 9 days?) 3 different people come out to ask me my name. Still not worried, becuase as I said before I am very excited.

Then a woman comes out and says that my appointment was cancelled. I tell her that no one called to cancel. She then tells me that my dress is not ready and then starts to walk away. I told her about the last time I had to wait so the seamstress can start working on it now since I am here and I will wait. She goes back in to the hole where they apparently do the work and then comes out sying she was told they can't do it. I ask to speak with Bea (the manager who never seems to be around) and wouldn't you know...SHE'S NOT THERE!!! AT that point I just started ranting about how this place doesn't know how to conduct business and a bunch of other things I can't remember right now. This poor woman goes back into the hole and returns with this little nugget ' It'll be ready in 3 hours' I ask her if it will steamed and pressed and cleaned for me also and she says yes. While I am ranting and raving she tells me that I should absilutely tell the owner how I feel becuase she has apparently had it as well. They have lost about 5 employees so far and she thinks she might be next.

1 more hour to go before I head back. I realize this will probably get pulled on account of how negative this review is, but I had to vent someone and if I can stop at least 1 unsuspecting bride from losing her mind I will be satisfied.

Thank you for listening/reading. I'll lety you know what happens when I go back.

just think though, once you pick the dress up, you'll never have to see them again!

I hope everything goes well with you. I've purchased my dress from a place in Brooklyn. They were very nice while I was there, but after the order was placed their attitude changed. I've spoke to them months later to check to see if my dress was in and I did not like their tone. I've picked up my dress in May and I have never been back. They have called to ask me to set up a day for alterations, but I've told them I am taking my business elsewhere. I have a seamstress in the Bronx and she does wonderful work. I love her to death. My final fitting is 8/7. Ladies just be very careful where you purchase your dress. Check out BBB to see if they have a lot of complaints. If they do run away and run fast. Many places feel that once they have your money there is nothing you can do. The shop I went to I had to leave a 50% deposit.

When I got there my dress was already pressed and steamed and placed neatly in a bag. I then told them to take it out because I was there FOR A GOD!@#$ FITTING!!!!!! They stuck me a tiny dressing room away from the other bride trying on her dress (HMMMM I wonder why). After I put the dress on the whole front of the dress was gaping open. The seamstress spent about 20 minutes working on it and then it finally fit. At this point I was so drained of any emotion that I took it off, gave it to the seamstress to pack up and walked up to the front to sit. I didn't even want to confront Bea anymore, I just wanted my dress and wanted to get away from the store.

Just then Bea comes over and actually apologizes for evrything that happened earlier on. Apparently there was a mix up regarding the list I was on. Someone thought the list was a cancel list so they called people to tell them their appointments were cancelled and somehow my name got crossed off before a phone was made. I stopped her and said that I didn't care anymore I jutst wanted to get out of the store with my dress and never come back again. I also said I would be telling as many people as I could about how I was treated. Hopefully it will affect their decision about which bridal Salon to use.

Anyway...thanks for listening to me vent. I have my dress and that's what's important.
