Within an hour

I don’t enjoy shopping but the staff here made it a very positive experience. I was able to find a dream dress and have everything squared away in under an hour.

Amazing place !

What an AMAZING place! I had Rene who helped me with my initial appointment of trying on all the styles, and Saturday when I said YES! She was absolutely amazing, so kind, and never rushed me or pressured me to buy! These consultants really care about making a memorable time for brides to pick their perfect dress. I can’t rate this place high enough. 😊

Great staff & service, beautiful dresses!

I had the pleasure of having Rebecca as my sale associate and she was incredible! She listened to my likes and dislikes and made me feel so comfortable. We went to a couple other places after Helen's and they were all a complete let down compared to Helen's. There was no comparison. We also got our bridesmaid dresses there and everyone loved their experience. Thank you again, Helen's Bridal!!

Beautiful selection

I got my wedding dress from Helen's and also found my bridesmaid dresses here. The girls and owner were all so lovely to work with. Helens was the 2nd store I tried and as soon as I tried on my dress I knew it was the one. They have a good selection and you get to browse through yourself as well. I wish I could wear my dress again it is just soooooo beautiful. Would definitely recommend Helens

I Felt Great!

Rebecca was my consultant, and she was absolutely phenomenal. We tried on so many dresses of many variations. The appointment felt like meeting up with friends, though I had just met the women working. I highly recommend it!
