Marina Morrison

The most AMAZING experience ever. The space, the gorgeous selection of gowns and the service were all top notch from start to finish. I purchased a made-to-measure gown and just had my first fitting, and when I tell you the gown fit perfectly, I mean no alterations except a bustle perfect. My consultant Sammie was so kind and knowledgeable and really helped me pick the perfect dress. She also advised me to give myself extra time to order the gown which turned out to be great advice. I know there are a lot of places to buy wedding gowns these days, but having a shop that knows their stuff and values customer service is priceless.

Hi Marina Morrison Team and Specifically Sammie!!!, I have been trying on dresses, a LOT of dresses at all sorts of places here in the bay area. I think most places have been just okay or bleh, I do wish we had LA inventory - However,  I think Marina Morrison has excellent dresses and designers! This was my first experience and I came full circle and ended up purchasing the most stunning dress from Mira Zwillinger here with Sam and I am extremely happy with my decision. Sammie had helped me during my first session although she was not my primary stylist she did acknowledge all the dresses I tried on and was very sweet and present in the store! - I trust her opinion. During my second fitting she was my main stylist - Yay! - super fun!  If you ever try on dresses! you know that time can fly by and during my first fitting I don't think I used my time wisely. She knew exactly the order to try everything on efficiently and was super warm and friendly! We tried on the first dress I tried on at the last fitting and I'm glad she made me try it on again because the second time I put what I thought was the one on I knew it wasn't. So great she has the experience to know the order of things. Very key! with an experienced stylist. Also - for some mush - I didn't think I would cry when I tried on my dress but I did, and Sammie grabbed the Kleenex and was super sincere. I think trying on wedding dresses can be stressful and you want to feel comfortable with who you are working with. Ha! - And when in doubt if a dress comes with "wings" Just say YES! Trust me on this one.  ;) Sammie, thank you so so much for helping me. You will always have a special place in my heart because you helped me find the dress! Looking forward to working with you through this process and Happy New Year to you and the Team at Marina Morrison, They are all great. The shop is clean and beautiful ( it's in a Handel Building ) so the architecture is lovely, modern and clean. The dresses are even better. Oh and when you do find your dress with Sammie - She'll give you a special surprise at the end of the whole process. Sincerely, Nicole  ( Officially a Mira Bride! )

I truly can't say enough great things about my experience with Marina Morrison!I came into the wedding dress buying process with an idea of what I wanted, however I still wanted to try on a range of different types of dresses to be sure. The store has a diverse selection, from classic to trendy. The staff at Marina Morrison took plenty of time and care getting me into varying styles. It was tough to decide, but Sammie was awesome at talking me through each option--and more importantly, what made sense for my personal aesthetic. The week after I chose my dress, I had second thoughts and called the store to see if they could pause my order so I could try on one of the other contenders. Sammie accommodated me the next day with no problem. In the end, I stuck with my first choice dress. But it meant so much to me to get peace of mind. A couple months later, the designer of my dress was having a trunk show at Marina Morrison. They called me to see if I wanted schedule time to look at finishing touches. They really helped complete my wedding day look, helping me choose a gorgeous veil, pulling jewelry in to accessorize, having me walk around the store with the full outfit on, etc. The total effect is stunning! Needless to say I am so happy with my purchase and would recommend any bride-to-be get her dress here. I am so excited to wear it!

STAY AWAY and spend your money elsewhere. I spent nearly $15K on what was meant to be a made-to-measure dress, and it arrived enormous (a standard size that had to be cut way down, and never ended up fitting properly), with the wrong straps they ordered... which Marina Morrison blamed on a whole variety of excuses. I had a terrible experience with both the salesperson (Sami) and the owner (Rick); they were rude, negligent, and Rick is flat-out sexist (claiming I must have been "too excited" to understand expectations, that my weight must have fluctuated due to working from home, that I was overly stressed due to wedding planning, etc etc). I could go on and on about how awful my experience was - but all I can say is: just go somewhere else, and save yourself a tremendous headache.
