I went to Carolyns twice. Both times my mom & I had a great experience. During your appointment, she gives you her full attention. Carolyn helped me focus in on what I wanted. She showed me lots of dresses from $500-$1000. Theyre all sample dresses and its a small shop but she still had plenty of great options in my size to try on (Im maybe a size 6-8). After my first visit, I ended up purchasing a dress elsewhere and then the seamstress botched it. So I was back at Carolyns almost a month before my wedding looking for a replacement dress. She was even more helpful the second time around because she understood the situation. I found a dress that I had almost bought the first time I was in there. I was surprised, excited and relieved it was still there. Carolyn even got me an appointment with her seamstress the next weekend. Im kicking myself in the butt that I didnt just buy the dress on my first visit but I guess I wasnt ready to pull the trigger then. I have been recommending Carolyn to all my engaged friends since my first visit there and will continue to do so.

I found my PERFECT dress at Carolyns boutique! I stopped in as it was around the corner from my house and I am so glad I did. What a gem. She has some great dresses and it wasnt the typical pushy environment you can find at larger boutiques. It was such a fun process visiting her store over the past few months getting my dress to fit absolutely perfectly! The seamstress she recommended was great and made my dress an absolute dream and very affordable.

Carolyn was so kind and accommodating! She had a large selection of gowns that were all so beautiful. She really took the time to listen to me and what I wanted and envisioned. She actually chose the first dress I tried on and I absolutely fell in love. How many other brides can say they found the perfect dress on the first try! She really is so knowledgeable and comforting. Thank you Carolyn, I cannot wait to wear my dress on my big day!

I brought my future daughter in law to Carolyn Verdi Boutique. This was the 1st she tried on dresses. Carolyn is so great at being able to pick a style that’s best for your figure! She listens and no lie, the 3rd dress is the one she bought!!! Great price and at picking the right accessories. I recommend any new bride goes to see Carolyn!!!!

I had a wedding dress DISASTER two weeks before my wedding. The tailor completely ruined my dress, and I was forced to come to terms with walking down the aisle in a dress that was too short.On a whim, I walked into Carolyns boutique to look for accessories -- and assured her that I wasnt looking for a dress (I didnt feel like being told that the alterations wouldnt come back in time, my size wasnt available, etc.). She told me to try on some dresses anyways -- she wasnt pushy at all. Well, after trying on maybe 3 or 4 different gowns...I found the one! Carolyn was super knowledgeable and very helpful. She even had a seamstress that had my alterations done within a week! Thats unheard of in the bridal gown business.And her seamstress was also fantastic. Carolyn also gave me some helpful tips on what to do about the ruined dress. Id say Carolyns is worth a visit during your dress hunt.

Carolyn was very friendly and helpful during my appointment. She tried to show me dresses that were exactly what I was looking for, and did not push a sale on me. She sells discontinued sample dresses so it is somewhat a hit or miss selection but she had a good variety of styles and some beautiful options. I had looked at four shops already but found my dress here for a great deal! Definitely worth checking out.

Carolyn had a number of really beautiful dresses, but unfortunately none of them really matched what I wanted. The dress that came the closest was stunning, but had heavy beading that I found very uncomfortable (I have overly sensitive skin). She tried to pressure me into liking it, even enlisting my friend to tell me how good it looked. With her pricing, her dresses may work very well for other budget conscious brides, but it didnt work out for me.

I found a gorgeous knock out of a wedding dress for a great price. Carolyn is honest- the first one I tried on I came out to show her at her request, I downright did not like it and although she was kind, she put it well when she said I think we can find another one for you. Second dress I tried on was a drop dead stunner. After shopping around for months, I knew it was the one. My friends could not stop complimenting me and not just the obligatory such a pretty bride- several of our wedding guests asked me where I got the dress because they couldnt believe how amazing I looked in it. Its an off the rack that looked designer made for me. Would highly recommend this place.
