AniA Collection

Things must have dramatically changed in the past couple months...because I had a VERY positive experience when I went in Nov 2006. I went in hopes of trying on one particular designer's bridal gown and expecting the less than desirable service, but I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I had a mid-week appointment, so the store was not busy - which seems to make a difference in all bridal stores. The woman who helped me was friendly, approachable, and more than helpful. She encouraged me to I try on many dresses, and even brought me a couple of dresses similar in style to the others I liked. They even let me look through the racks (a rarity in high-end bridal shops). Even though I decided to have a vintage family gown altered for my wedding, I would highly recommend AniA's to any of my friends. If you have ample room in your budget - AniA's has a phenomenal collection. Pros: Beautiful collection, High-end & hard to find designers Cons: Must park on street or in parking garage more

This is a horriby unprofessional bridal shop. The consultant that worked with me did not use any clips on the dresses I tried on so I couldn't tell if anything would look right in my size or not. They did not offer me a strapless bra so my bra was hanging out of every dress I put on. After choosing a few dresses from a catalog (they won't even let you look through the rack), I was told that four dresses was enough to try on during my appt. The dressing rooms consist of curtains pulled around you and offer almost no privacy. I can not even believe I wasted my time in this shop! Cons: rude consultants, poor selection, no privacy more

This store carries some wonderful designers, but the employees are extremely unprofessional. The three young women that were in the store during my appointment were more concerned with comparing their heights with one another than assisting me during my appointment. They don't allow you to look through the dresses and tell you a certain number that you are allowed to try on (6). They hand you this book to flip through and then go back to socializing with one another. Obviously they are not trained in the likes of customer service. If I were the owner of this store, I would hire a new, older and more professional staff that isn't comprised of caddy young girls. Cons: unprofessional, inexperienced, immature more

I recently visited the Ani A store and had a wonderful time. The salesperson was very helpful and attentive. I especially liked the fact that you can browse through a notebook of all the dresses that they carry. Also they carry dresses by some great designers, like Lee Ann Belter, who makes fabulous dresses. They were not at all snobby, and I throughly enjoyed my appointment with them! more
