Memories Bridal & Evening Wear

I found the perfect dress, veil, shoes, and earrings!! The staff is very professional, knowledgeable and very kind. I would encourage anyone looking for a wedding dress to go check out this store!! It was a great experience and I am so very pleased with my purchases. If you have ever gone somewhere like David's Bridal Shop, then you should come here because you are in for a real treat!

Found my dress at Becker's but ended up buying at Memories because they had a larger variety of sizes to try on and a much more personalized experience. Nice fitting rooms and not crowded when I was ever in the store. Had fittings by Diane and they were a little pricey but I was happy with the fit. Not as many choices as some stores, but great brands. Only a good experience for me at this store.

I can not say enough good things about Memories. I am an avid "Say Yes to the Dress" watcher and was looking for the Kleinfeld's experience, but at an affordable price and in Michigan. Everytime I went in there, they made me feel welcome, beautiful, and I never felt pressured. I especially want to thank Brittany, who was always super cheery and helpful, but all of the girls were always great! I even ended up getting my bridesmaid and flower girl dresses there and got many compliments on how cute they were. The quality of dresses and service is many steps above other bridal salons I went to.

While most people put shopping for "the dress" at the top of their list, I chose to wait until *yikes* just 5 months before my wedding to even think about dress shopping. I was trying to lose weight and felt very nervous about trying on dresses. I called one boutique in Kalamazoo and was told they only had 2-3 dresses that could be ordered in that time. Fearing Davids Bridal might be my only option, I called Memories. I was surprised to hear they had so many options that would arrive in time for my wedding and that their dresses are fairly inexpensive for such a nice bridal store (I think the majority of their dresses are under 1500). Brittany at Memories helped me find "the dress" and made me feel totally comfortable with the whole process. My dress was priced at around $900 and it was so beautiful! It even came in earlier than we expected (took less than 2 months to come in). For alterations, I used Diane, who will come to the store for fittings. She did a great job for a fair price!Memories and their staff were so wonderful! Highly recommend!

I did not purchase my dress here, but I did go to their seamstress, Diane. Cannot say enough good things about her and the quality of her work. My dress fit perfectly and the busstle was stunning. She is very personable and listened to what I wanted. If you live in the area.... go to Diane. I also bought my earings here. They have really inexpensive jewelry. I think my earings were around $25!

Great, Great, GREAT! =]

I am so glad that I got my dress from Memories. The whole staff is great! I went all the way from Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo just because I met some of the staff at a Bridal Show and I am so glad I decided to go there. I am a little bit bigger and I was worried about what sample sizes they were going to have but they actually had more than plenty and they didnt make me feel bad at all about being bigger. I must have emailed them a million times off of their website about different things that I had questions about and they always answered me back right away with the best customer service skills. They also have a seamstress that comes into the store to meet with you and see what you need done, she is great as well. The convenience of that is terrific. And when the wedding was done all I had to do was take my dress back there and for a minimal price they got it all ready and sent it out to a place to be preserved and cleaned. It has only been 2 weeks since my wedding and I already have my dress back and packaged up, so the company they work with to do this is just as great as them!

From the store appearance, to the staff, to the selection it was all great for me! At first I was a bit nervous since a friend of mine didn't have such a great experience here...but every person has a different opinion. I went with my family to try on wedding dresses 8 months before the BIG day...it was such a great experience. I am an dedicated 'Say Yes to the Dress' watcher so I expected something similiar, right? At the other stores I was WAY wrong, but Memories made me feel so special. Stephanie was my consultant and she was wonderful. I got to pick many dresses that caught my eye and by the end I couldn't choose between two...she let me go back in forth between the two as long as I needed. She gave me great advice without any sort of pressure.I received the dress 2 months before its expected arrival date and Memories held onto it safely for me. I absolutely loved my Sottero & Midgley dress...it was truly perfect. Thank YOU, Memories for making it so special...I will, without a doubt, reccommend Memories to all my soon to be married friends!

I hadn't been into Memories until I was a bridesmaid 2 years ago. I had such a great experience with getting my bridesmaid dress that when I got engaged the first place I wanted to go was to Memories!I live in Wisconsin currently and made the 5 hour drive to Kalamazoo to go with my Mom to Memories so she could be apart of the experience. The first dress I tried on ended up being the dress! I wanted to come back to Madison, WI to try on more dresses figuring there would be more options so we didn't purchase the dress that visit, even though the customer service was wonderful. I went to 6 different stores in Madison, none of the bridal stores had anything special and their customer service was so far below Memories, I left every store disappointed and knew the next trip to Kalamazoo was going to include a purchase at Memories!Luckily, I went back to Kalamazoo the weekend of Memories sample sale and my Sophia Tolli dress was apart of the event. My mom and I were first in line, so excited to get my dress! We left the store with excitement that even though we purchased our dress on sample sale, we were treated as though we had just placed a normal order--if not better! I felt like the entire staff was equally as excited about me getting my dress as I was!Since I purchased my dress on sample sale it needed to be cleaned and altered to fit. Memories recommends a few options and I chose their recommendation of Diane to clean/alter my dress. Everything turned out so perfect. Throughout the 10 months of owning the dress Memories kept the dress at their location and when I came into town I was able to try it on. I feel like, if it were any other store they would've been annoyed that I kept asking to try on the dress...but at Memories everyone was as eager as I was to see it on again. After the alterations were done it was once again stored at Memories until the day before the big day. In addition to my dress, we purchased our bridesmaid dresses, the tuxes, and a few accessories...our entire bridal party looked fantastic!I have truly never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day and it was partially due to it being such a happy day in general but mostly due to finding the perfect dress at a store that cared about me and how I felt in my dress....Thank you so much Memories. I will refer you to all my friends!

I went to the Memories Bridal to try on wedding dresses. They have a nice room on the second floor where the dresses are and a couple fitting rooms. The selection of dresses was pretty good. The sales lady was very helpful and gave suggestions on dresses to try on. She was very patient as I tried on a few dresses twice. I didn’t end up getting my dress there but would recommend checking them out.

I bought my dress here because it was a middle location driving distance for my mom and I. I loved it! They let me walk around and pick out the dresses I wanted to try on so I didn't feel like there was something in a back room I couldn't see. There is a clearance wall if you are looking for a dress right away or great dresses to order at reasonable prices (mine was under 1000) The only draw back is that the tailor is only there during the week but I found someone else to do it. I loved the girls I worked with and felt very comfortable. I also LOVED my dress!

I got my dressed here and love the experience!! Well... most of it. Salesgirls and owners were all amazing. I came in multiple times for fittings and accessories and all and they knew my name and who I was. They triple checked the final order for the dress with my paranoid self which was really great. Nothing special happened when I bought the dress though - would have appreciated a little something! Strawberries, little gift, sparkling grape juice even? No...oh well. I didn't think this place would have much, and they don't have the largest number of dresses, but they have a good varied selection and I was able to get my dress in 3 months via only a $50 rush order :). Only thing that bothered me was that they never called me when the place gave them a ship date - I called in asking about it and it was already there!! Also, I had an AWFUL time with the seamstress. Sometimes she was great, sometimes she called to say she wasn't showing up, she had to hem the dress twice and it was still too long!! I was tripping over it on the day of :( should have gotten some stillettos or something. So I would go with a diff seamstress, but the shop was great!

Monica originally helped me find my wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses. She was so helpful and patient as we tried on a ton of dresses. After those were purchased we went back for Tuxedos for the groom and groomsmen. We even found the flowergirl dresses and ringbearer tuxes. Josh was wonderful to work with also! He was very helpful and always had the answers to my questions.

I purchased my wedding dress at Memories. I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. I didn't have any idea what I wanted in a wedding dress. I knew I wanted something different from the regular strapless wedding gown. My budget was $500-$900. I ended up spending just a little more $945, but it was worth every penny. They were patient, gave me ideas and let me take the time I need to make the right decision. My dress was beautiful and they made sure I felt beautiful. Service and style were the two things that won me over. Josh made me fell welcome everytime I walked in the door and Diane (seamstress) was great.

I have been to Memories Bridal and Evening wear two times and each time I was very impressed with my experience. The ambiance of Memories exceeds many of the expensive boutiques that I visited, including Kleinfelds. They are great at creating small "store in store's" that allow for ease of shopping. The bridal gowns are located on the second floor and you are able to walk around and choose the dresses you would like to try on - your sales associate also helps select any dresses you may have missed (they know what looks good on different brides' body types and what will suit their wedding/personality). The first floor has some great pageant/prom dresses, MOB dresses, and shoes. One thing that I was really surprised to find out is that they offer tuxedo rental and from what I hear it is the same quality and name brands that some other tux shops offer but at a better price. I did not purchase my dress here (I ended up going with a couture gown by Junko Yoshioka) but I highly recommend Memories Bridal if you are looking for a fantastic dress that won't cost you an arm and a leg.... you'll still get a fantastic experience and in many cases - better than any of the super expensive stores. Definitely worth the trip to Kalamazoo!

The entire staff at Memories is so helpful and treated me so well. They helped me find my dream dress and clothed our entire wedding party. Their prices are much more reasonable than their chain competitors. Their seamstress is amazing as well! They were so fantastic -- I would recommend them to any bride who wants to feel like you're in good hands when it coming to your wedding attire.

I dreamed about this day forever and when I went to Memories I was so excited. The staff made me feel like a million bucks, and I really couldn't believe how much they cared. I ended up getting my bridal gown, tuxedos and bridesmaids gowns here and I wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else. This place has personality. It's not about the money you drop it's about the experience and they made it known. THANK YOU!

I couldn't believe how amazing their selection is! They have prices comparable with David's Bridal but the quality is 1000 times better! The dresses are unique, beautiful and perfectly made. They clean, press, and take care of your dress. Jaws literally dropped as I walked down the aisle in this gown. I went to over 6 salons looking for a dress, and couldn't have asked for a better Bridal Salon than Memories. Check it Out!!!

I couldn't of been happier with Memories. Josh is so much fun to work with and they really take care of you there. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Not only do you have a good time everytime you go in but you also know that you have nothing to worry about because if something comes up you know they will take care of it.

Memories helped me pick out my dress as the bride, what my bridesmaids would be wearing and also what the guys would wear. My goal with the wedding was not to do the same old things that everyone has. Memories helped me put together choices that would help my wedding stand apart from everyother wedding. I got clothing options that were more fashion forward, like dresses my bridesmaids have actually worn again. I think Memories was great for helping my wedding look and feel true to my personal style.
