"This was the best experience dress shopping!!! Ife was my consultant, and she was so fun and not pushy at all, loved her!! I went in specifically looking for a dress that had sleeves and covered cleavage, and I was really worried going in that I would only have one or two options, but Ife was so knowledgeable and had tons of great ideas for how to build up a neckline and what kind of sleeves to add"

This was the best experience dress shopping!!! Ife was my consultant, and she was so fun and not pushy at all, loved her!! I went in specifically looking for a dress that had sleeves and covered cleavage, and I was really worried going in that I would only have one or two options, but Ife was so knowledgeable and had tons of great ideas for how to build up a neckline and what kind of sleeves to add. She let me know that I would be able to pick a dress without sleeves - even a strapless dress - and that a seamstress would be able to make the additions I wanted. She was also super helpful for letting me know which dresses it would be easier to do so with. She was also so sweet, pumping me up in the fitting room and reassuring me the appointment was going well, which was just so considerate of her. There was a wide variety of styles to try on and I ended up with the perfect dress!! Would definitely recommend. Also the shop was super cute and there was a great atmosphere between everyone working there. Such a fun day!!!
I had the most AMAZING experience at best for brides. Melissa did such a wonderful job helping me find my dress, clipping them appropriately to me, making me feel comfortable, and really pumping up my tires and making me feel beautiful. What was going to be a day of shopping to find dresses turned into the easiest day to say yes to the first dress I saw. Their selection was amazing and gave me the confidence to pick the dress after seeing what my true vision truly was. Lots of tears were shed. Thank you for the privacy provided and not having an over crowded room where you feel like you're getting in another brides way. Truly magical and I will never forget my experience with you! Thanks again Melissa if you read this! **Update** had a wonderful experience with the alterations as well! The dress fit like a glove and there were no schedule conflicts or missed deadlines for the dress. Had a horrendous experience at another shop for the bridesmaids dresses. Please go to this shop for ALL of your wedding days needs!
Had a great experience at the Hamilton location. It was fun to have the store all to ourselves and picking out our own dresses. Very informative. It was interesting learning about the dress sizes. When we were picking out our own dresses, they told us not to worry about the size as we were just getting an idea of the style.. however, it wasn't until my mom asked if we could see some dresses that would actually fit. Once they started to fit a bit better, moral was boosted and it was fun! I ended up saying yes to the dress and it was very reasonably priced! Practically, 1 week later and they have already contacted me saying my dress is ready and i should book the fitting appointment. So efficient! Everything has been so seamless with the whole team and has felt very personable. They are on top it!!! Thanks so much for helping me check this item off my wedding to do list!
I visited Best for Bride for my first time wedding dress shopping and it was a fantastic experience! Amanda greeted us when we arrived and then we pinned dresses that I wanted to try on. Amanda was super helpful when I tried on each dress. She gave me tips on what styles would fit my body type best and brought me a few extra dresses to try on, which I really appreciated. She also got me a matching veil with the dresses I liked best and dimmed the lights to show how each dress sparkled which I loved! I narrowed it down to two dresses and hadn’t made a decision, and Amanda even called me after my appointment to follow up and give me updates that one of the dresses would be discontinued soon. I didn’t expect such great customer service after my appointment. Overall, it was such a great experience and Amanda was amazing!
Came here looking for a bridesmaids dress for myself and a friend. Amanda initially helped us out and we all had a great time laughing and felt very comfortable. I was able to find a dress and when I came back for a second appointment for the fitting I was helped by Olivera. My fitting appointment was scheduled for 3pm but due to some scheduling complications it was moved to 4pm. However I was told I could still show up for 3pm and that’s what I did. Despite there already being 2 other groups, Olivera took me in right away and went straight to helping me, while aiding the other groups as well. She did this effortlessly and with a big smile. I was in and out within 25mins. Thanks so much to Amanda and Olivera! Your energy was so positive and put a smile on my face for the rest of the day!
Alex was AMAZING! I’d been here before for my last friends wedding I was in. We had a very positive experience last time. This time my friend had taken all of the bridesmaids to another store and the options were slim to try on dresses. As I am more curvy there was no selection at that place, I tried on like 2 sample dresses. I suggested here as I had a previous experience. As soon as we walked in Alex was a pleasure, she pulled me 10 options to choose from in the wedding colour! I found my dress and only had to try on 5. Easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and just overall made my experience so positive! If you’re looking for lovely staff and an array of sizes for your bridesmaids to try on, this is the place. Make sure you ask for Alex to make your experience that much better!
I was greeted at the Hamilton location right away and they were expecting me. Alex gave us a run down of the sample dresses and all I had to do was choose some samples to try on. Alex was very attentive to what I was looking for - likes and dislikes about dresses I choose. She presented me with a beautiful dress that I tried on. When I can out of the change room, my family had that wow factor on their faces. I turned around to look in the mirror and I also had that wow factor on my face. The dress was beautiful and I fell I love. Alex then asked us to guess the price - to my surprise this dress came well in under my budget! And I said “yes to the dress”.
So about two years ago I came to your store to hopefully find a wedding dress...which I did. I finally got married in it this past February...covid delayed things. I LOVE my dress. I got so many compliments. I just wanted to share in our special day with you ladies. You were all so amazing and wonderful. Yes I did arrive on a horse . In Cuba. Was amazing and my dress was gorgeous and went beautifully with everything. THANK YOU SO MUCH For everything. My sister is next. Yaa. So we will come soon to get her to find her dress....and my maid of honor dress.
My experience at the Hamilton Best for Bride Store was amazing. I came in looking for a prom dress as I had prom very soon. I wasn't expecting such a huge selection of prom dresses. All of them were beautiful and unique, but I found 3 that I loved. The lady who was assisting me was so amazing and really paid attention to what I wanted. She helped me find dresses as well as explained how we can alter the dresses I chose to make them fit and look better. I ended up finding my prom dress and buying it. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and experience at this bridal boutique.
We can here looking for my bridesmaids dresses and they have tons of beautiful options! Unfortunately we didn’t find what I was looking for as I was searching for something specific, BUT we had a great time here and the lovely ladies that work here were great! Lots of options for brides dresses too, and there was a beautiful bride shopping next to us and they had champagne for her guests and they looked like they were having a great time as well! I recommend this place for sure! :) (also noticed super cute prom/grad dresses as well, or other event dresses!
The service at Best for Bride Hamilton was excellent. It was Natalie's first work day at the store, and although it was a very busy time, she was remarkably attentive and helpful, guiding me through my selection process as I tried on and finally chose my Mother of the Groom dress. She established a respectful rapport and made personal connections. I trusted her taste and skill. Other staff frequently supported and collaborated as they worked with other customers so I always had the attention and expertise I needed. Thanks very much for a great experience.
My visit to Best for Bride was a delight, largely thanks to Amanda, my consultant. She radiated patience, and attentiveness, and made me feel completely at ease. Being a first-time bride, she provided me with guidance as I explored different dress styles. Best for Bride offers a large range of dresses to suit any budget, and Amanda helped me navigate this selection. If you're looking for a place to start, I highly recommend Best for Bride. Thank you, Amanda and Best for Bride, for making this part of my wedding journey so special.
Amanda was kind and extremely helpful! It was my very first trip dress shopping. She had myself and my entourage walk around the store and pin dresses that we liked, and then helped me try on every single one. Once I thought I may have found The Dress, she turned the lights down a bit so I could get the full effect... it was absolutely amazing. I said YES to the dress and I couldn't have done it without the support of Amanda! I would highly recommend Best for Bride Hamilton.. they truly are Best for Brides!
Over all such a great experience at Best For Bride. I’m not the type of Bride that has any sort of excitement for the dress part but as soon as I walked in the doors I felt welcomed and accepted regardless of being a plus sized bride. I came in with very little expectations and walked out with my perfect dress THE VERY FIRST TRY! Deanna was the PERFECT person to help me, and made me feel so comfortable and happy. I will be forever grateful! Would 10/10 recommend this bridal store!
I had a fabulous experience at best for bride finding my wedding dress, as well as a second dress for later in the evening. The staff was attentive, friendly and really made the process a lot of fun. I loved the size of this location as well, great selection, but didn't feel overwhelming and impersonal like David's bridal. Plenty of options in a reasonable price range. Gloria the seamstress was also fantastic and gave me some great tips for care of the dress following the wedding.
I had a lovely experience at Best for Bride and was lucky enough to find my wedding gown with the help of Alexandra. She was very helpful and kind throughout the process and really understood what I did and didn't like. She asked plenty of questions to ensure she understood the look I was going for and offered words of encouragement the whole time. She pulled plenty of dresses for me to try on, and while I don't remember who chose it, I did find "the one"!
I was pleasantly impressed by the service and kindness shown to me by Olivera at Best for Bride in Hamilton, Ontario. I am very short and a hard size to find an elegant and comfortable “mother of the bride” long dress. Olivera never left our side during our appointment which went overtime as well. She was very knowledgeable and such a helpful and happy personality. I was able to find the perfect dress which I truly love. Thank you Olivera
It was my first time trying on wedding dresses and Ife made it an amazing experience. She was very helpful and provided me with advice on what accessories would look best on the dress. She made it such a comfortable and fun experience. She was very considerate of my needs and was very helpful showing me other alternative dresses so I could get a better idea on other styles. I would highly recommend going to this bridal shop!
Had an excellent time wedding dress shopping at best for bride! Amanda was excellent. I loved the shopping process where we were given pins to select our choices. I loved the red carpet, (pictured), where they have cameras to see the front and back of the dresses. Amanda dimmed the lights to see the sparkle on some dresses which was great. I loved that I got to ring the bell when I said “yes to the dress”! So much fun!
I can’t rave enough about my experience here. Needed a dress 9 days before my wedding day ( long story). Extremely friendly, listens to needs and wants but also great stylists and picked some of their own pulls that were very on point. Clean and well organized. So happy I got my dream dress here 9 days before my wedding they made my stressful experience so much less stressful!
I had Gordana at the Hamilton location for my appointment and I felt like I had brought along a bestie while trying on dresses! She made me feel so comfortable wasn’t pushy like the other shop I had gone to and was very knowledgeable I appreciate that she got to know us and made the whole experience so much fun! I’m glad to have found THE dress with them!
Amanda was lovely! She was very understanding and patient; she accommodated me the best she could! I even had to go back the next day to do an exchange on my veil and she was happy to listen to my concerns and allow me to try different ones on! Much love and thanks to the store and Amanda for making me feel welcome and comfortable!
Best for Bride Hamilton is absolutely incredible. The stylists are SUUUPER friendly and accommodating! My stylist, Amanda, was fantastic!! She was right on point to what I loved and pulled dresses that complimented my body type so well. She was so patient and made my experience phenomenal! I highly recommend her and the store!
If you’re from Hamilton, it’s worth a stop to see their selection of Bridesmaid dresses. Lots of modern styles and colours. I also noticed they had a beautiful selection of mother of the bride/groom dresses. Our consultant was Olivera and she was very friendly, honest and helpful!
I came in with my daughter, her MOH, and my mother to look at wedding dresses for my daughter. We had a beautiful day. Deanna was so helpful, attentive, and kind. It was our first time looking at wedding dresses, and it was a great experience. I'll be back to find my own dress!
I had the privilege of joining my family on Thursday shopping for my niece's wedding dress. Amanda was excellent. She pulled dress's the bride loved. We all enjoyed the clips so we could pull our choice. Professional, knowledgeable, courteous and very helpful.
Olivera was so gracious and attentive. Extremely professional and ready to help me at a moments notice. I just loved how she included not only myself but my husband and my sister-in-law. Had an excellent interaction from start to finish. Outstanding
Deanna was absolutely fantastic and super helpful finding my dream dress and my sister's! She has an eye for style and knows exactly what looked great. It was such a pleasure to meet her and I'd recommend Best for Bride and Deanna to all brides
I had a great experience with Amanda fr Best for Bride. She was very friendly and helpful. I felt like she was one of my friends instead of just someone that is doing there job. Saying Yes to the dress was an amazing experience …
