DO NOT GO TO ALAN EVAN’S BRIDAL FOR ANY PURPOSE. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT HOW THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS AND DO NOT DESERVE TO BE IN THE BUSINESS THEY ARE IN. Save yourselves some heartache Brides. The store in Sioux Falls made mistake after mistake and gave excuse after excuse. I am the Maid of Honor and tried to deal with the situation to take some stress off of the bride. I went all the way to the owner and ended up being told that although everything was late, didn't fit and we had to order more sash which was late and also pay for it, that it wasn't the end of the world because it was 3 weeks before the wedding still, that I was terrible and had been horrible to everyone (apparently by fighting for being treated like a valued customer and not giving up on what you believe is right, that makes you a horrible person) and then she said, ""You get what you give. The ribbon is at the store. We didn't get charged enough for it anyway so go there and get it,"" and she hung up on me.\r

The bride has gone through three months of stress because of this store. Don't let it happen to you. Give your business and your hard earned money to someone who cares to have it and will treat you that way before AND AFTER the dress is paid for and the contracts are signed. See Twitter, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau and the store reviews for more information and more details. I don't want ANYONE else to go through what we have.\r

I see by reading other reviews that the similar situation has happened to many others, and in the responses from the owners, it seems like they take the same approach...attacking their customers. \r

PLEASE BRIDAL PARTIES, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PLACE. SAVE YOURSELVES TIME, MONEY AND STRESS.
