Van Cleve was absolutely amazing! We worked with Ann Marie and she couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. We originally went shopping elsewhere and worked with another woman who was very rude. Van Cleve was the complete opposite! So great, so helpful and Ann Marie was very patient, as I was a little indecisive. She knew what dresses to pull that I might not have originally picked. She also had great ideas. I went back a couple of times because I was unsure about a few things with my dress, and Ann Marie was able to see me right away and help me out so I could find the dress I love! We even got the bridesmaid dresses there as well! The girls loved them! Van Cleve does it all! What a great experience! Ann Marie even came out to direct my mom out of her parking spot the one day! Talk about excellent customer service :) I highly recommend Van Cleve to anyone looking for their perfect dress!

I recently purchased my gown at the Van Cleve wedding Pavilion. Not only was this the best experience I have had at any wedding salon in the area, it tops my experience in other states. I went during a Matthew Christopher trunk show, and ended up choosing one of his beautiful gowns. Not only was Matthew, the designer, there on site, he was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and fabulous. Everyone at the wedding pavilion was patient and never made me feel rushed. It was a lovely experience and I am so excited for my dress, fittings to come, and the big day. Thank you Van Cleve!

My consultant, Abby, was knowledgeable and got a clear picture of what I was looking for right away. There was a trunk show that weekend, and the designer who was present was showing me gowns that did not match my style at all. Abby came in and steered me in the right direction, and made me feel confident and at ease-- and then I found my dress! It was a great experience.

I absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants to feel special and find something unique for their wedding. I felt like royalty and had options brought to me that were just as I had described. The women working here are excited and very knowledgeable within the realm of their work. I couldnt have been more pleased with my experience here.

Abby was fantastic!!! She made me feel comfortable and didn't pressure me to purchase a gown. I had already purchased a gown at another salon and it closed a week after my order was placed. Fortunately, I was able to get my deposit back and after some time decided to go to Van Cleve. I wasn't sure I was ready to find another dress, but once I got there Abby made all the difference. She scheduled a second appointment for me when I didn't fall in love on my first visit. They took the initiative to call me and invite me to one of their trunk shows the following week, and that's when I found it! My gown is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait for it to come in so I can try it on again!!! Thank you Van Cleve, you have made my dress experience a wonderful one!

The folks at Van Cleve were amazing!! I wasn't really expecting to find my dress when we went in, but as soon as I put it on I knew it was the one for me. The staff were incredibly helpful the whole time - they were super friendly about letting me try on more dresses then put mine back on again, letting us take pictures, etc. They even cracked a bottle of champagne when we decided to buy it - how cool is that?! It was a WAY better experience than shopping at The Wedding Shoppe in Wayne earlier that same morning; I'd definitely recommend Van Cleve Wedding Pavilion to anyone in the area!!

I had such a great experience at the wedding pavilion! It was the first time I was going to try on dresses and definitely did not plan on finding one. Although I had a list of dresses that I had seen and loved I also had an open mind. Thankfully I did because all the dresses I loved in the picture I did NOT love on... My consultant helped pick out a dress that she thought would flatter my body style and I put it on and loved it then she added a sachet and the waterworks started for me and my mom and mother in law to be.... It was definitely a once in a lifetime special experience and the Wedding Pavilion helped make it that!

I called Van Cleve 2 days after I got engaged to try and snag a last minute appointment. They had an opening and by 4pm I was enjoying my first experience trying on wedding gowns. It was everything I had hoped it would be. I felt like the only bride in the building and had with one on one, sometimes two on one attention. I was nervous the consultants would be pretentious, but they were totally down to earth, friendly, and knowledgeable. Best of all, it felt more like shopping with girlfriends than sales associates. I never felt pressured or pushed into anything. They gave me all the time I needed despite being past their closing hour. Even after locking the door, they spoke extensively to my mother about the ordering and alterations process. I went to 3 other bridal shops after this and nothing compared. I am so grateful to have had Van Cleve as my first experience wedding dress shopping. It was simply wonderful.

Great value and service! I live in NY and was going to have to pay a rush fee for my dress because I was less than 5 months out. Not only did Van Cleve not charge an extra fee, I got the dress much less than I would have paid in NY regardless of sales tax. Very pleased and the overall experience was great!

Adorable wedding boutique! I went there with my Mom and my sister. Excellent variety in designers. Including Pronovias!
Abby was awesome. Cheery, patient, helpful, very good listener, and she gave honest feedback when I asked her for an opinion!. I had a few ideas of what I knew I liked/didn't like. She helped me find the dresses in my budget that met the criteria. She also encouraged me to try a few others that I ended up loving!
We're definitely going back to Van Cleve to look at MOB dresses.

I had a dream dress buying experience at Van Cleve's with my winning dress's designer Matthew Christopher there for a weekend trunk show. Abby was wonderful to work with and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

For years I knew that I wanted to get my wedding dress from Van Cleve Wedding Pavilion based on the experiences I have had with Van Cleve over the years. I met with Ann Marie and she made the experience of choosing a wedding gown absolutely awesome! I swear she hacked into my brain and read my mind because she kept pulling dresses that were amazing. I had a hard time describing the styles I like because I was so unfamiliar with all of the different options available. I even changed my mind and went back and forth between dresses and Ann Marie was so kind and understanding and helped me out until I was completely certain about my gown. The dress selection is amazing and so are the prices! Van Cleve Wedding Pavilion carries gorgeous gowns and they range in price so you can always find something that is perfect just for you! I highly recommend Van Cleve Wedding Pavilion and I think it should be your first stop when shopping for a wedding gown because you won't need to go anywhere else!

The Van Cleve Wedding Pavilion carried essentially ALL of the Watters dresses I was looking for. They are absolutely beautiful, made wonderfully and really are a great value for the style. Additionally there were many suggestions on how to attach an appliqué as well as how to bustle the dress for our reception. Additionally there was a 20% off promotion which helped to cover the price of alterations once the dress arrives. I am so thrilled with what I have ordered and cannot wait until March for the dress to arrive for our beautiful May wedding!

They were wonderful! The ladies were so pleasant and helpful. They have a great selection with a wide variety of price ranges. I was worried the dresses would be over the price I wanted to pay for a destination wedding, but the prices were very reasonable. I also needed all my adjustments done in a 10 days, which they did without blinking an eye...4 fittings in 10 days and my dress fit like a glove! I would recommend this shop without hesitation!

I absolutely loved my experience at VanCleve! Everyone was so helpful and encouraging and did whatever it took to assist me in my search of my dream wedding dress! And once we found it they worked their magic in multiple alterations to make it fit like a glove after some unexpected weight loss. What a great bunch at the Wedding Pavilion!! Wish I could work with them again, but a girl only needs one wedding dress!

I purchased my Theia wedding dress at Van Cleve, and I was very pleased with the quality of service at the boutique. Everyone who helped me was very professional and friendly, and the alterations were done flawlessly and on time. The complimentary glass of champagne was a lovely gesture!
I had found the Wedding Pavilion through Theia's design team-- it was one of the only boutiques in the area that carried the dress I liked. Even though I already knew which designer/dress I was hoping to purchase when I entered the boutique, I had a chance to look around and was very impressed with the quality and originality of the gowns and dresses available. While I ended up going with a handmade hair fascinator I purchased from a craftsperson I had met elsewhere, I was also very impressed with the Sara Gabriel accessories Van Cleve featured at the store and in a trunk show. I would highly recommend Van Cleve Wedding Pavilion.

I'm in a wedding and the bride and I found a gorgeous kiwi-green bridesmaid dress by Lela Rose at VanCleve. I live out-of-state and they coordinated with my schedule to make sure that I could come in, try on the dress, get the necessary alterations and pick it back up all on a long weekend when I was in the Philly area. It turned out beautifully. If you go there, I highly recommend visiting their other store while you're there. They had really nice mother of the bride dresses and i was able to get gorgeous earrings that match the bridesmaid dress perfectly!
