Going to the Chapel dress shop — Local services in Enfield

I had an appointment yesterday and had a bit of a rough time for the first half. I do understand these are designer gowns and we don’t want them getting dirty and what have you but my mom came with me and was told a few times to “sit down” when I had come out and she was walking around me to see how the dress looked. These dresses were very long so moving was kinda hard it would’ve been nice if my mom was able to look at the dress on me without repositioning.

Ellen says she hates bad mouthing David’s bridal but looking at her social media she has bashed them quite often without hesitation. At first I thought she was truly looking out for me but I now see a different motive after my appointment and really looking at social media.

Ellen the owner was definitely trying to sell me a dress vs looking at what I liked which I understand to an extent but the dress I had on needed so much work to make it what I wanted I was basically making a whole new dress.

*The lady that was helping Ellen though was an absolute delight I can’t quite recall her name as I was completely overwhelmed but she had salt and peppered hair she was absolutely amazing trying to help and really listen to me *she is the only reason this place got 2 stars **

I was reading other reviews and saw she mentioned everyone who came in yesterday bought a dress and I assure you I did not buy a dress from there I went somewhere else after and bought a different...

I booked my bridal appointment at Going to the Chapel having no clue what I wanted in a dress. Upon arriving, my group and I were immediately greeted by Ellen and her team. She gave me a bag of pins and guided me to the dress sizes I would be looking at and told me to pin the ones I liked. After that, Ellen really tailored my appointment based on which dresses I liked and weeded out ones she knew I wouldn’t like. The entire appointment took about 50 minutes and I never felt rushed or not taken care of.

What I loved most about this experience was that Ellen was completely up front with me when I first called for my appointment. I called in January for a May appointment and explained I was in the process of losing weight. Ellen asked for my current size at the time and explained that wedding dresses would be 1-2 sizes bigger than the size I would end up being in May. I had no idea this was a thing and I was really happy she mentioned that to me so I knew what to expect. She also explained the rundown on how the entire appointment would go and even remembered the budget I originally told her.

All of the dresses I tried on were beautiful and wonderfully priced! I would highly recommend this shop...

Going to the Chapel, Enfield CT. It is wedding crunch time and I desperately needed help with my dress today. Our son is getting married in 2 wks and the material I used to sew the dress for the wedding was flawed so the dress was unuseable. I had a backup black dress and a hat but wasnt sure if it would achieve the simple yet elegant look I wanted. I needed a trained eye to help me decide. Ellen, the owner of Going to the Chapel, came to my rescue! Even though I wasn't planning to buy anything, she was happy to do a consultation with me. I tried on the outfit with the hat. With an experienced eye for hats, outfit coordination and colors she was able to confirm the outfit is beautiful. Her staff agreed. And she even helped me choose a necklace and earings to match! She resolved all my problems and calmed my nerves. I observed her and other staff assisting a bride-to-be and they were patient, kind and provided excellent guidance. I highly recommend Going to the Chapel for wedding and prom dresses....
