ambiance
100.0% positive
  1. She began to basically interrogate me, asking me where I was going next, and proceeded to talk trash about the other shops and advise me that 'dress shopping is not all fun, its very serious'.
overall
100.0% positive
  1. The price was the best I could find (I called around after ordering and hearing from a friend that the shop she used in NH for her dress jacked up the price) and I was shocked to find that every other store in all of MA and NH was quoting me $300-$500 mor
  2. This is a great place to start (and, I'm sure, a great place if you're seasoned, too - but I started there!)
service
91.66999816894531% positive
  1. good service, nice dresses
  2. The staff was wonderful and very helpful.
  3. great dress, terrible service
  4. The service is great - she has an eye for matching dresses, veils, etc. and also does all the alterations on-site - not like so many other shops these days.
  5. That way people would just walk in, use the store as a springboard and then order the dress online by themselves.
  6. Just an incredibly beautiful dress that was hell on wheels for Margherita and her staff to bustle!
  7. Fast and reliable service
  8. recommend this shop to everyone who is looking for a bridal gown and likes personal service.
  9. Excellent customer service that you just don't find anymore
  10. All members of the staff were exceedingly warm and helpful.
  11. The staff there was helpful and kind.
  12. Great staff, moderate prices, good experience
  13. Bring just one or two people with you and you will love shopping there.
  14. La sposa is a wounderful place and the staff is very nice.
  15. am appalled at how many negative things I have read on here, but some people are just never happy.
  16. The service at La Sposa is impeccable and the staff is friendly and they really are the BEST at what they do!
  17. If you wanted to steal the wonderful customer service from this shop then order the dress online - a very unethical practice indeed.
  18. The service I got and the warmth and connection I felt while at La Sposa was amazing.
value
100.0% positive
  1. Another huge plus: this isn't a terribly expensive store (the fantastic dress was ~$1700) - a much more modest place to go than, say, a store on Newbury.
  2. Great staff, moderate prices, good experience
  3. To top everything off, they sold me the sample at a great price and Margarita herself altered it for me.
  4. This store is not going to give discounts but their dresses are definitely not overpriced and you pay for what you get and I would recommend this store to anyone.
  5. The prices were reasonable and everything went smoothly.
  6. The price was the best I could find (I called around after ordering and hearing from a friend that the shop she used in NH for her dress jacked up the price) and I was shocked to find that every other store in all of MA and NH was quoting me $300-$500 mor
  7. thought her prices were very reasonable, certainly comparable to other bridal stores.
  8. thought that their prices were great.
wait time

  1. From the minute I walked in, Margarita told me what would look good on me and brought me out the most beautiful dresses to choose from.

Made my wedding dream come true!

by Fastfeet3 at Citysearch

I had my heart set on wearing my mother's wedding dress. My mother passed away 3 years ago, and I had always planned to wear it. After one cleaning, it was still so yellow. I found Margherita by a simple google search, and she sent my dress out to be restored. She stood next to me as she made the call to ensure it would be taken care of. It came back pure ivory. I was so ecstatic! Margherita then took her time to alter the dress to fit me perfectly, remove sleeves, and find /apply lace to the dress to cover worn areas. I am SO happy with her work! Margherita was very reasonably priced especially considering her experience and my, in particular, labor-intensive dress. If you need any intricate work done, you know she will do an incredible job! I would recommend her to any bride! I sent my bridesmaids there, too. She took care of everything start to finish.

Mother of the Bride

by Green Haba at Citysearch

I had to write this review. Ten years ago my daughter got a prom gown from Margarita. It was beautiful! We returned not realizing that this was the same place. We mentioned the prom gown and she remembered. We had ideas for the wedding dress. Both Margarita and Maria were very helpful but most important was their patience. We had tried on over 75 dresses and gone to over ten salons. We went back to LaSposa and bought the perfect gown. I felt very confidant that this dress will be perfect when all the alterations are done. This women knows what she's talking about. I highly recommend that you go here and you won't be disappointed.

Worst Customer Service!

by Dolce2525 at Citysearch

I usually do not take the time to write reviews critcizing local businesses. However, due to my horrible experience at La Sposa, I decided it was neccessary to warn other brides. As soon as my sister and I walked in, we were scolded because we did not have an appointment. Fair enough. We tried to book an appointment three different times. We were told that we needed to call a month ahead of time to make an appointment. When we finally did make an appointment, we were told to walk around and see what kind of dresses we would like. None of the ladies took an interest in discussing and informing me about the dresses they had in stock. I was disgusted at their lack of customer service and took my business elsewhere. What a nightmare!

It's like doing business with family

by RedSox fan1 at Citysearch

I found my dream gown at another shop, but didn 't like their customer service, so I called La Sposa to see if they could order it for me. They did and it made all the difference! Margherita, the owner, was wonderful to work with and always made me feel like a member of her family. She and her staff are so attentive that no matter how many customers were in the shop, I always felt like the only one. As far as the quality of the alterations, you don't get any better than La Sposa. The bustle on my gown required 14 sets of ties, which Margherita did herself. She even spent the night before I picked it up, tying and retying them to make sure all the fabric bunched and fell perfectly for my special day. If you want to work with a shop owner who cares as much about your dress as you do, La Sposa Bridal is the place for you!

Horrible Service or Wrong Number???

by LM15 at Citysearch

So we called the number listed on the website and everywhere in the internet and my mom spoke with an extremely rude woman - she kept changing the appointment and time, didn't even take our information until my mom asked if she needed our name or phone number and then when my mom asked her to confirm the address of shop the woman said "No, and don't ever call here again." and hung up. We triple checked the number we called and it is the same as listed online so either La Sposa changed their number or they are the WORST customer service people ever. Will not be shopping there.
