Special Occasions Couture

This had to be one of the worst places I have ever shopped. The man was rude and vulgar. I would not buy something there if they gave it to me. I said I had other places to look and he got angry and said that we had been a waste of time. The dress I tried on was lovely but would never go back.

Let me start by saying, Special Occasions is Amazing! My son’s wedding was November 8 th, 2014, I knew this for a year in advance, but I kept thinking I had plenty of time, I’ll lose a few pounds and I guess I just wasn’t sure what I wanted to wear, after all, I’m the Mother of the Groom, google that and it’s all about the Mother of the Bride. Planned a day to dress shop with my best friend and critic, we had a whole day planned to go from shop to shop from West Palm to Boca. My friend recommended Special Occasions as she had heard much positive feedback on their quality and prices from friends. We found the shop and at first glance, we were skeptical. Then they asked what I was looking for, occasion, location, color, they pulled out 5 beautiful gowns. When I put on the second one, even though it needed a good bit of alterations, they knew it, my friend teared up and I cried! They had chosen it, and yes, the man that another review said was rude, was at first, brusque, but, he is honest and has an eye for fashion, and just the nicest person ever and truly cares that a lady walks out with a dress that people will not just say, I love that dress, but they will say, you are beautiful in that dress! There were two prices on the dress, he made me a great deal that included alterations with a wedding 3 weeks away. The alteration specialist was present, did the measurements, pinning on the spot. When I went 2 weeks later to pick up the dress, it fit like I had it custom made for me, they then found the most spectacular necklace and earrings to match and I found my Rehearsal dinner dress! It needed a small alteration and they had it done perfectly In less than a week! I also received such a great deal, the service and helpfulness was just impeccable. Give Special Occasions a chance, most customers only post reviews if they are unhappy, happy customers just forget to do so. I will be returning to Special Occasions many more times!
Thank you so much,

Warning!!! This is not a good place to do business. I went there looking for mother of the groom dresses and their inventory is so outdated and out of touch it’s not funny. Man that was working there was so rude! He kept showing me dresses that were so awful under the guise that they were expensive. Also, they were making up prices as we went along. There were 2 prices on the tags then I was told there is additional discounts. I asked how do I know the price, they said I had to ask them! false and misleading. Hmmm
Really! He wouldn’t even let me try on any dresses because the bride wasn’t with me and I wasn’t going to buy anything that day. DO NOT SHOP HERE!
Also, this man has a habit of going out of business and reopening under a slightly different name. Stay away!
