Thanks for all of your help!  I appreciate you taking the time to listen to my problems (with the other company) as well as placing my order at the top of your priority list.  Working with your company has been a complete pleasure... I don't feel as if I have to worry... and I know you'll be there for me if any problems arise.  I am going to send all of my engaged couples to you guys!
Thanks Again, Renee'

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for such a wonderful purchase experience.  The bridal shoes I bought were perfect, the size, color, the price!  And, I couldn't have asked for better, faster, more convenient service.  I've already referred you to other friends who are getting married! Thank you again and best regards, Stacy

Karen,  I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all of  your help with everything.  The dress, the shoes and the invites were all perfect.  Thanks for taking the time to make sure everything was the way I wanted it.  Our day turned out beautiful!  Thanks again, Tristin

Karen, everything went great and a big part of that is all your help. Thank you so much. I wish you were in town so you could have come to the wedding. If you need any references just let me know. Also, my roommate is getting married and I've already told her to go to you. (she's a procrastinator so it will probably be a couple of months before she contacts you.) Chat with you soon.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!  I just received my cameras and am SO happy with them! They are beautiful! I am having caterer problems and generally feeling very weepy and tired. I hear they call it Brid-idus. But the sight of these little cameras picked my spirits up! They are going to be gorgeous at our African-Caribbean wedding, and I'll take pictures (of course) and send them to you!

We are going to be featured in a couple of bridal magazines, so we'll pass on your name as one of our vendors.  thanks much again!

Hi Karen, Hope you had a nice vacation. Just thought I would let you know everything has arrived -- my shoes (they came really fast), the flower girl dresses and the bridesmaids dresses. Thanks again for all of your help. Michelle

Just wanted to let you know that we got a big surprise today. That last dress that we ordered back in mid July was delivered today! I couldn't believe how quickly they got that out here! So, all is well!  Thanks for all of your help! Marianne:)

Thanks for checking back - everything arrived in perfect condition. I love the shoes and the pendant, and my fiance is thinking of getting the money clip/pocket knife for his groomsmen. Thanks so much for your help with all of this! I will be in touch to order more once we are sure about the specifics. Thanks again! Jennifer

My dress is wonderful. It needs a few small alterations (of course), but otherwise I am very happy with it. It's gorgeous. I was really surprised when it arrived in March. Thank you for all of your help! Thanks again, Kari

I received my shoes today, quite surprised that they arrived earlier than anticipated.  Thank you for your speedy, efficient service.  Your friendly service was also much appreciated.  I had called all around San Diego, and you were the most helpful service I could find, and also for the best price. I'll make sure to consider you with all my formal shoe needs in the future. Once again, thanks so much!!!  Sincerely, Brooke

Hi Karen!

I am so excited I can hardly type this. My dress just arrived!!! (I'm sure you know this, since you sent it - or did it come direct from the manufacturer?) Well, wherever it came from, I can't believe it's here so soon!! I know you said they often come in early, but I was hoping for April maybe - not FEBRUARY!!!!! Ok, trying to calm down now. I am just in shock. I just want to let you know how much I appreciate everything you've done and how great you've been to work with. I will try out the dress this weekend and let you know how it goes. Thanks again!!!  -Ariel

Hi Karen,

Thanks very much for the update. Everything is great here, although it has been a hot summer for the northeast! Our wedding was everything we'd hoped and the slip I purchased from you was great for my dress. Thanks again,Cheryl

I just wanted to thank you for your quick service. I received the cameras just a few days after ordering. I was nervous, as it said on your website to allow 2-3 weeks for shipping, but figured I'd take the chance that they'd arrive in time. What a surprise to see them so quickly. Thanks again. Kim Sicklick

Karen, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how impressed I am with DBS and your personal service. My wedding dress is absolutely beautiful and so are all the bridesmaid dresses. You were wonderful to work with and I am so thankful for the savings that DBS offered! We have everything we need (and it all arrived ahead of schedule).  Thanks for everything. I will recommend your services to all my friends who are brides-to-be sometime in the future! Monica Granata, San Francisco, California

I was married last year, and purchased my beautiful wedding dress from Discount Bridal Service. I went to several bridal shops searching for the perfect dress. Unfortunately, the perfect dress was very expensive. I read in a bridal book that Discount Bridal Service was an excellent way to buy your dream designer dress without paying full price. I contacted a representative in my area, and she was able to order the exact dress I wanted straight from the manufacturer. She also ordered in my size so I could save money on the alterations. When I tried on dresses at the wedding salons the sales staff wrote down an inappropriate size for me, explaining that each manufacturer had different size charts and it was better to be safe than sorry later. I learned that these shops offered either in-house alterations (at your expense), or received compensation from an outside seamstress for the referrals.

I was very happy with the service I received, and the savings that I could apply to other wedding essentials. I saved over $350.00 by ordering my dress through Discount Bridal Service. This is one of those rare instances where it seems too good to be true, but there are no catches and only benefits! I recommend DBS to anyone I know who is getting married because it makes a world of difference in the rising costs of a wedding. Robin Unander, Attorney at Law, Santa Barbara, California

I wanted to write to you and thank you for all your help. You were so sweet and helpful-quite a different attitude from the salespeople that I met in the bridal shops...I have talked up DBS to everyone who will listen. All brides should have it this good! Thanks again for making this so great for me.  Melanie Stites, New York, New York

I am writing to thank you for making my wedding planning a pleasant occasion.  The DBS dealer who worked with me was great. My entire bridal party was able to secure all of our dresses through DBS. The dresses cost 30% less than the many bridal shops we visited. I appreciated that the dresses were delivered directly to my home and were packed beautifully. The dresses also arrived 6 weeks earlier than the estimated delivery date.  Thank you for making one part of planning my wedding stress-free. I will be singing the praises of DBS to all future brides.
Ivy Gamble, Brooklyn, NY
