Fue excelente servicio al cliente, un million de gracias otra vez y con toda seguridad puedo recomendarles este lugar y pregunten por Chelly aparte que hay muchas seleccion de vestidos.

I went today to look for my wedding dress. I had appointments at other places not expecting to find a dress that soon. Shelly not only helped me
Find my dress but, she was so sweet, helpful, and made me feel so beautiful in the dress I loved. I thought I had my mind made up about what I wanted exactly but, Shelly knew what would work and knew what looked good in me and I found my dress and fell completely in love again. Thank you so much!

This morning, my fiancée and I had our very first wedding gown appointment. We made the appointment after the San Diego Bridal Bazaar as we also received a coupon if we purchased a dress. We were welcomed in and began our appointment with Shelly, who was fantastic. She wrote down a few measurements and asked us some questions about our opinions on a dress. We then began sampling.
Being that each appointment was 90 minutes long, we started with our first dress, which was beautiful. She then tried her second dress, which was a beautiful Vera Wang, and it was the one. We continued on, all the while Shelly was making it extremely comfortable for us, always asking us what our thought was, and making the process so fantastic. Little did we know, the 90 minutes flew by and we weren’t finished.
Afterwards, we went back to try on the Vera Wang before leaving and then my fiancée put on the veil and we all were balling in tears. It was a perfect moment.
We purchased the dress using our coupon and the available discounts at the store, and like I said, Shelly was awesome. She made the process so smooth and easy, never bothering us about the time and the small details. I would like to thank her and would recommend her service if you have the availability when making your own appointment.
*Note. We are not the usual couple that follow the traditional standards of not seeing the bride in the gown before the wedding. We have an equal process in this wedding and being involved for every process makes me, the groom, so excited. Thank you.

This location was my first stop on my wedding dress search. Both times I was here I worked with Taylor. Let me tell you… She’s fantastic! Squeezing a plus size bride into several corset dresses is not an easy (nor fun, I imagine) task. It had the potential to be an incredibly awkward situation, but Taylor talked to me the entire time. She asked me questions and offered suggestions, all while either lacing the dress, or helping me find my way through the thousand layers of tulle. Both dresses she chose for me were absolutely stunning. In fact, her final suggestion is the one I ended up purchasing at a different location. Thank you so much, Taylor for a wonderful experience and your great taste!

It was my first time trying on dresses and I had Amber and Jamie as my consultants. It was only Jamie’s second day, so I suspect Amber purposely left her alone with us during my appointment. After the introductions and first few dresses got pulled, it was just Jamie and myself working with the dresses, and she was absolutely wonderful! We were laughing and chatting about pretty much everything. Jamie made the experience an unforgettably wonderful one, and I’m so happy to say I got to be her first sale. She may be new, but Jamie knows shapes and styles and just seemed to know what I would end up liking. She was just as excited as I was once I found my dress, and made me feel special every step of the way. 5 stars– all for Jamie and the wonderful dress she helped me find.

Came in for my appointment and still had to share my sales rep. Um, okay. Didn’t end up buying anything because the quality of the dresses and the selection were subpar. Two stars because the girl that assisted was really nice. It’s not her fault she got double-​booked.

Thank you David’s Bridal at Grossment Center! My daughter, the bride, had a wonderful experience at your salon. We walked in day one without an appointment and you made us feel welcomed as we perused the selections.
We made an appointment with the friendly receptionist to come back the next day. The appointment was everything we could imagine and our stylist Breanna interviewed my daughter and nailed her wish list and quickly gathered the prior day’s selections. Breanna was professional and very good at what she does, we would like to invite Breanna to dress the bride on the day, she is that good.
With Breanna’s expertise, she was able to find a dress to include in our selections that we didn’t see, knowing that it would be «the one». Breanna was amazing, the team made us feel special and I have to say, it was a magical experience. Especially ringing the bell.
Not to mention I found out the designer dress was on a tremendous special, we bought it and yes, the hardest part is done!
Thank you so much on behalf of myself and Kaycee the bride to be.

Ladies and gentlemen — if you’re looking for a one stop shop store like David’s and want the customer service of a small shop, then this is the place for you. Avoid the Mission Valley location like the plague. After my terrible experience at Mission Valley, I almost refused to go to another David’s, but since they had such a great deal (according to Ronda) on the exact crinoline skirt that I needed, I decided to chance the Grossmont Center location and was shocked by the wonderful service I received.
Our first visit was on a Sunday afternoon, which is usually packed, but there was almost no one in the store. I didn’t even make an appointment and the staff immediately had someone helping me out with trying on a crinoline skirt. Although these ladies still have to help out several brides at once, the staff here seems much more attentive and I didn’t have to wait long to ask for another size.
We had the option to purchase the size that was in store, but my mom was insistent that I get a new one, so I had to wait a couple of weeks for it to come in. They quoted me 3 – 4 weeks, but it came within two. I was so busy that they had to call to remind me to pick it up, but they were really nice about it.
On our second visit, I wanted to trade in a headband for a tiara and they processed that with no trouble. Note that if your’e doing exchanges, the new item it has to be for equal or greater value than the original item. This was not a problem since the tiara I wanted was $ 20 more, so we paid the difference and went off on our merry way.
Note that my review has nothing to do with trying on dresses, so I can’t really provide any insight on that process, but based on all of the highly rated reviews, I can only assume it is a pretty good experience. On the plus side, there’s also a Men’s Wearhouse right next door, so you can send your fiancé and groomsmen over there. There’s also a Trader Joe’s in the plaza, which makes parking a pain, but I could see this being very convenient for the busy bride who needs to take care of bridal party stuff and do grocery shopping afterwards.

I honestly had the best time here and I found THE ONE! Their staff was extremely friendly! My consultant’s name was Ashley. She listened to what I was looking for in a dress and found styles that were similar to what I wanted. One particular dress I tried on was a mermaid fit lace dress with a belt attached. I loved it! The train was magnificent and was the highlight of the dress.
BUT, she convinced me to try on a ball gown dress. I didn’t even consider looking at ball gowns. For fun I tried one on, and fell in love! The reactions I got from my sisters were what I wanted. Other customers and staff members gave compliments on the dress as well.
You know it’s THE ONE when you get emotional and start tearing up. Thank you, Ashley, for helping me find the dress!

I don’t know who isn’t a fan of the spot where they find their wedding dress, but I definitely am. I went in to look at wedding dress and found my dream dress.
When I entered, I was quickly greeted by the lady at the front and she gave me a bag of useless junk. Another girl came and handed me a book and had me mark some of my favorite dresses down. I went through the book with my mom and we marked about ten dresses.
The girl brought me a slip and a corset type bra thing and I put those on and she came and brought in the first few dresses. I tried those dresses on and was not too pleased. About ten dresses in I found one I liked but I didn’t want to buy the first one I liked so my mom and I left for lunch.
After we had lunch at the worst Chilis and a trip to another dress shop I was at a loss for what I wanted. I was seeing ruffles and tulle and bows all over, as some people see spots. We went and brought in reinformcement-​my future mother-​in-​law.
We returned to David’s Bridal without an appointment and a new lady helped me try on my top two contenders. Ultimately I decided on a dress and got to ring the bell.
A few months pass and I made an appointment for alterations. My appointment with Ursula went fairly well. At about 12:30, the 1:00 appointment decided to take it upon herself to join us for my appointment. Ursula did her best to appease the lady, but I feel the front desk people should have better control over the customers. Nothing is more awkward than having a stranger stare at you lift up your skirt layers for hemming purposes. That’s the docked two stars. Ursula is a rock star and a super friendly lady, which is why I gave them an extra star.
I will update my review once I get my dress back but I have full faith that it will look as lovely as I imagine it will. I just wish the cost was less. I’m sure I could have found alterations cheaper elsewhere, but time is money and I surely don’t have a lot of time between wedding planning items.

LOVE THIS LOCATION!
Came here to try on some wedding dresses and let me say… I left very satisfied!
When I came in I was greeted right away and Ayda was the one who helped me look for gowns to try on. Kori also helped as well! These ladies are AMAAAAZZZINNNGG! I had an appt. for 7:30pm and even though I tried on a lot of different dresses and it was 30 mins from closing, Kori and Ayda made me feel at home and didn’t rush me. EVER!
I probably tried over 139 484 893 different gowns. JK! I tried on like 6 – 7 and I found the one. Well I thought I did…
Well guess what. I called the store and Kori was sweet enough to tell me to come on back and find my dream dress. THANK YOU KORI! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT
After searching and searching Ayda found the perfect one for me (: Ayda is such a wonderful lady! She was honest and sweet. She really was sincere about helping me find my dress. She helped me in and out of my gown and accessorized my dress to make it look even more beautiful! I couldn’t be anymore happier about coming here to pick out my gown. I loved how even Kori wanted to stop by to see the final result. It was the sweetest thing! The staff here really does care about you and they are really there to help you find your dream dress!
REMEMBER, They can get busy so be patient with the person helping you because theres other brides who needs help too you know? (;

I will never step foot into a David’s bridal again because of the experience I received from La Mesa David’s Bridal.
My friend’s wedding is scheduled for Aug. 15^th and she sent me a text of the dress. So, I decided to call La Mesa DB and see if I can make an appointment to try it on. When I called I spoke to one of the managers of the store (very unique name and don’t remember) she said that the dress needs to have an approval code and that I should come in the store within 2 days. I told her I was going to come in around 3pm the following day. In which she was not there when I came in.
The day I come in, Tatiana helped me. She was nice at first, but then after a while seemed a little annoyed. I tried on the dress and it was a little too tight. Then she came out with a DIFFERENT dress and said that it was the same material and they didn’t have the same size in the dress that I was supposed to wear. I didn’t question her motive because she works there and apparently knows what she is doing. So after I tried on the dress, she said she had to call the corp store and get an authorization code. While waiting for about 20 mins, I told her that I was going to head over to Trader Joes and do a little bit of grocery shopping hoping that she would be done by the time I came back. I came back, the dress was ordered and paid for.
Fast forward to 3 weeks later– I came in and was helped by a nice young lady. She asked if I wanted to try on the dress and I said yes. The minute I tried on the dress it was a little on the tight side but still manageable. It was a little difficult to breathe. I told the lady what had happened when I tried on the dress and was given a whole entire DIFFERENT dress to try and Tatiana relied on the size that that dress fit me. So therefore, the outcome of the dress I was supposed to wear was a little tight. The manager LaDonna came around checked it out and said she was going to see if they can order a size up from the dress that I bought. Apparently the dress is SOLD OUT and if I were to order it, it would not come in time for the wedding. They also told me that the dress did not have enough material for it to be taken out, so they brought out the seamstress to check out the dress. She told me that it fit just right and didn’t really need to be taken out. She had me sit in a chair to make sure I was still able to breathe.
The final thing is that they told me not to gain any weight and juice for the next month. WTH!!! Are you serious! The WORST customer service ever! I will def. NOT get my wedding dress nor my braidsmaid to buy from David’s bridal.
