Genesis Bridal & Formal

It’s a small store but with excellent choices of wedding dresses. I described my dream dress to Ama and she precisely found one for me. It didn’t take me long to decide that it was TheOne! She measured me and ordered a new one. It took three month for the dress to be made and shipped from oversea. I was a little worried the fitting might take too long to be ready for my big day. But the first fitting was already nearly perfect! She only needed to alter the length a bit. I also ordered Ama’s hand-​made veil on that day. One week later, my dress and veil were both ready in perfect shape. Thank you Ama!

Small store but totally accommodating. I was able to walk in and find a veil that I was able to take home same day. I also found a «crown» with the perfect amount of «jewels» for my niece who is the flower girl. Extremely satisfied with my experience!

Wow! I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful and kind Ms. Ama the owner of this bridal shop is! I love her so much… She made my experience so pleasant and special! Even though she is very busy her work and attention to detail is remarkable. She beautifully altered my very detailed fancy wedding gown, my very detailed reception dress and my rehearsal dinner dress… and they fit so perfectly! You will be so happy if you work with Ms. Ama… I will only trust her with anything else I need in the future. Make sure you make an appointment because she is busy lady and now I can see why… She’s the best!

I needed someone to make a dress for my sister’s sweet 15. Myself, my mother and my sister when to Genesis and spoke with the owner Ama. She told us that she could make the dress we showed her in a picture within our budget. This was 3 months before the event. We paid half up front and half later on. Ama for the first month did not return any of our calls. Finally 1 month before my sisters photo shoot she finally calls us to bring my sister in for a fitting. The first fitting was OK but when she showed my mom some material she was going to use for the ruffles in the dress it was the wrong material. My mom asked her why she was using this and she said that it was because she could not find the purple organza needed. My mom asked if she brought it could she use it she said yes so the next day we brought her 7 yards (she asked for 5) yards of the organza she needed. After the first fitting she kept canceling our appointments to the point where sometimes we were half way there and she could not see it. Finally 2 nights before our event our dress was not only not even close to being done but it was hideous and not even close to being what I wanted. I tried to work with her to fix the issues as much as we could (the materials she used were all wrong and the color was wrong. but we made some compromises) She told me that the dress would be ready the next day by 8 am because she was supposed to have delivered it that night and regardless of anything I said it was NO WHERE being finished. The next day she told me that it would not be done till 6 pm. at 11 pm the night before the photo shoot the dress was still not done and when I went to see it looked like a patchwork quilt. Ama told me she ran out of materials and didn’t want to fix it and then told me that she was going to charge me to fix the issues. She told me that it was not finished because I made changes and that I was supposed to bring the materials. She told me that there was a sheet in the contract that she didn’t show us or have us sign because she forgot and wanted us to sign it there. We left without a dress literally hours before my sister was supposed to have a photo shoo for her birthday. I lost money on the venue, photographer, make up artist, and had to buy her a new dress. To add insult to injury this woman will not return my money. I suspect next time we will see each other will be in court. Today when I called to obtain a copy of the information that is the file she kept she proceeded to hang up on me. I was very polite to her but she has no professionalism what’s so ever and she was very upset that I have written this review. I am hoping to prevent this situation from happening to another person in the future.

Compared to my other bridal store visits, this one was clearly the best, but I can honestly say I like the bridal shop a lot. I called them up frustrated based on another experience I had some where. I needed a wedding dress in a specific price range and a specific style. The ladies said she had some things for me to try so I set up an appointment.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by Ama (the owner of the shop). She pulled somethings for me and gave me some great prices. I tried on some dress and of course none of them fit (I have lot of junk in the trunk… lol), but she said that was no problem… that she would alter the dress for me. So I ended up finding something I loved.
Ama was a great help. She’s super sweet and gives great advice. I look forward to see how the alterations go, and the final fitting.
All in all, I would recommend this shop to all the brides out there!
