What Brides Are Saying…
Kelsey
“I had seen OUAT on social media through other weddings and knew when my time came that I wanted to go and try on gowns there. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the fantastic experience I would have, even with all the positive reviews. Sharon made me feel so at ease when I wasn’t sure about something and thoroughly explained every detail about each gown. I have a feeling she knew what I wanted before I did because she left the dress I ended up buying in the dressing room even though I must have put on another eight or nine after! My maids of honour also ended up getting their dresses there a few months later. They weren’t just appointments, they are fantastic memories that I will always carry with me. If you are looking for outstanding customer service and unique wedding gowns, you don’t need to look any further. “

“I had been to 5 other stores before finally making the trip out to Once Upon A Time, and I was blown away by the difference here! The care, attention, and effort that they put into making sure each bride has a great experience was completely unique and refreshing. Definitely worth the visit - even if they don't have the dress for you, it's a wonderful, personalized experience that will remind you of how wedding dress shopping is supposed to be :)”

“My experience could not have been better. After trying on 50+ dresses at various other stores, Erin was the only one who helped me see that the style I had been trying was not the style that my heart was after. I came to her extremely stressed, discouraged, and frankly exhausted. I thought I had run out of options and was preparing to settle for a dress that was just okay. Not only did she calm me down and help me to feel comfortable, but she encouraged me to try something different and helped me find the perfect dress for me. She accommodated all my requests and even went the extra mile to contact the designer about some very particular questions/requests that I had. I am incredibly grateful for this amazing experience, Erin really made finding my dream dress possible. Thank you so much!!! If you haven't been here, you definitely NEED to check it out!! This is a dream spot for any bride-to-be”

“I reached out to Once Upon A Time Weddings to make an appointment. I was excited to start my dress shopping and felt it was important to to shop local. I was extremely impressed with the amount of detail that OUTW put in before I even stepped into their shop. I was asked to complete a questionnaire and then had a follow up telephone conversation with a consultant. When I arrived to look at dressed, Erin had pulled 5 dresses for me based on our prior conversations. I was elated when every dress that was pulled was s direct reflection of my own vision. I purchased my dress that day, along with my veil and belt.
I was provided with a binder of information that contained time guide for planning a wedding, contact information for a seamstress, sample invitations and a tipping guide for vendors.
My dress came in exactly as I ordered it, and arrived when OUTW had told me it would.
I, at every chance I get, recommend brides, maids, and moms to visit the shop in Strathroy.”
“This is exactly what the shopping for wedding dress experience should be! So Comfortable, laid back, friendly AND funny. You have the most welcoming and comfy space and were so open and kind, even though I hadn't made an appointment! Thank you so much for actually taking the time to hear about my vision and ideas and being able to work within my limited budget! I cannot say enough good things about Erin, this store and my experience! Thank you!!!”

“The ladies at Once Upon a Time Wedddings are beyond amazing. It was a little over a year ago that I bought my dress there and I finally had my special day this past Saturday. I received so many compliments on my dress and was even asked it was a vintage dress. It was exactly what I was looking for and more! Ladies from the dress, to the belt, to the veil you really know how to make a girl feel gorgeous from head to toe. I loved the boutique feel and the one on one experience with Amber listening and taking what I had envisioned to heart. I also had the opportunity to go back with my sister to help her pick out her wedding dress which again you ladies went above and beyond. Thank you so much Erin and your team. I definitely did not want to take me dress off!”

“Thank you Once Upon A Time Weddings for giving me a VIP slot to the pre-sale. These women are wonderful, I highly recommend checking them out if you're in need of a wedding gown, accessories, bridesmaids dress etc. You're supporting a local business, you walk away with a gown, and they get to continue providing their expertise and affordable gowns to the community! Totally different vibe here from some of the shops in London, I didn't feel intimidated or pressured at all.”

“This was the second store I went to while dress shopping. The customer service I had here is not comparable to any other place I have ever been to! Everyone was so helpful and even though they fit me in and I knew they were busy, they took the time to make me feel like I was the most important bride in there! Erin is extremely knowledgeable about all her dresses and could answer any question I asked! She went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress.”
