Like many trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic - after changing plans four times, my partner and I decided to take 2020 back and elope. I had originally wanted to get a custom dress made (I'm over 6' and have long limbs), but with this new plan I had to find a dress in a matter of six weeks. I found some (begrudgingly) that I thought would fit my picky taste - and the closest shop that carried them was Country Bridals. An hour and a half each way from me. It's my wedding day, who cares about the drive - let's make the appointment. From beginning to end I worked with Elicia and honestly, she was a pleasure to work with. She pulled a ton of dresses for me - and when I tried on my #1 pick first and uh, hated it - she had plenty for me to try on. I am not great at trying on clothes, nevermind something this important, and I get uncomfortable with feeling like "a burden" - despite my anxiety, Elicia made sure that I was comfortable and that the appointment was going smoothly throughou... Read moret my 90 minute appointment. Ironically, I found a dress that I never would have picked out - and fell in love with it. (You hear things like that - that you'll 'know' when you find the dress - I always thought it sounded corny, but looking in the mirror that first time - I knew). To make a long review shorter - I had to make two more trips (alterations, and then final try on) to Jaffrey and I can truly say that those 9 hours of driving were worth it. (Even after googling my dress after my appt and realizing that my dress I had just ordered was in a shop 5 minutes from me - that's how much I liked Country Bridals). They take covid seriously, they're affordable, and the alterations were done well and very quickly. I cannot recommend them enough - if my driving that much for a dress I could have gotten closer isn't an indicator, I don't know what is. Thank you again, Elicia and staff!

The employees there were wonderful to work with and I will forever be grateful.

couldn’t have had a better dress shopping experience! great selection & outstanding customer service! They didn’t miss a beat with communication during COVID & I was blown away when I had the store to myself for final fitting!!

This is the place to go for any of your wedding attire! As soon as I walked in the door they made me feel welcome and helped me right away! They have beautiful dresses at affordable prices. Kelly was my consultant and she was outstanding! I was nervous at first only having 90 minutes for an appointment as I had at least 13 dresses to try on and I tend to be very indecisive. She was so helpful and made sure I tried on all the dresses I liked and still had time to go back to my top ones I was torn between! I never felt rushed or like I was on a time crunch! She was so patient and made the experience that much more fun! I highly recommend coming here! I can't wait to come back!

The staff are absolutely amazing. I have had the best wedding dress shopping ever here and it only took me 4 dresses.

This store has a great selection of dresses. The consultants were very helpful and made it a great experience.

Went to country bridal after many many recommendations from friends and coworkers- glad I listened! Appointment was for 9 am and had my dress chosen by 1030 am! There is a TON of variety here which helped me chose what felt best on me! I highly recommend Casey- she is kind, patient, and supportive without being overbearing as you have your special day. I never expected to find my dream dress so quickly, thanks to country bridal I did! Thanks Casey!

I was SO pleased with my experience at Country Bridal. Wedding dress shopping can be so overwhelming, especially for a perfectionist like me but they made it doable and realistic and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! They gave feedback, but also gave me the space I needed to make my decision! Lot's of enthusiasm and great tips! Thanks so much!

The staff was so kind, and made this experience such a good one. This was my first ever dress fitting, and it was for my wedding. After some serious indecision on my part they helped me pick the perfect dress and were so professional and caring.

the experience I had there was so personal and so amazing, those who worked there really helped me see what kinds of dress I could wear. We started with what I thought I wanted and ended up in something I didn’t ever see myself in but it was amazing. Great pricing and super friendly staff ❤️.

Country Bridals was the first place i decided to look for my wedding dress, i tried on 5 dresses and absolutely fell in love with one of them! The staff was very responsive and adaptive to my schedule with getting us a quick appointment! Thank you for your amazing service!

Country Bridal was the first store that I went to try on dresses and it was the best first experience. Everyone was so helpful and kind. I was allowed to try on everything that I wanted to and they were so flexible in letting me go over the scheduled timeframe for my appointment. Country Bridal has a really strong collection of dresses and designers. Although I did not end up finding my dress at Country Bridal, my experience there was extremely helpful and informative for finding THE dress, and I would highly recommend the store to everyone. Country Bridal was also the only store that gave me a little thank you gift and sent a handwritten thank you note to my house. Those small, thoughtful touches made me feel so special.

While it doesn't look like I will end up buying my dress at Country Bridals (I found a pre-owned dress online that I love and seems to fit with no alterations needed), I had a great experience at my bridal appointment at Country Bridals with Elicia. I felt like I got the right amount of attention as a customer - enough so I felt supported but not so much that I felt smothered. Elicia listened to what I wanted and helped me find dresses that excited me. She and the other staff were attentive, the store was clean and well organized, there was a wide variety of gowns in different styles and prices to choose from, and the fitting rooms were comfortable, inviting, spacious, and well appointed. I felt very safe and comfortable the entire time I was there, and never felt pressured to buy anything that I wasn't ready to buy or forced to look at dresses outside of my budget. They even had samples and clearance dresses on sale (although that selection was understandably more limited), so it is p... Read moreossible a bride-to-be might be able to find an inexpensive, last minute dress here if needed. Overall I had a really fantastic experience and had so much fun shopping for my dress. I cannot comment on what the process of actually buying a dress here and having it fitted would be like (my friend who came with me to the appointment bought her dress here and could not say better things about the store or their service), but my initial shopping experience was really wonderful. I would definitely recommend this place to other brides in the Monadnock region.

After hearing good things about Country Bridal, that was the first place I went to try on dresses. I found a dress I loved and purchased it. The help was okay, but nothing out of this world either. I’m usually a size 2 - 4 jeans and they ordered me a size 10 dress. It was huge, but they said they’d rather have it too big and do the alterations necessary. They had told me they’d call me to have me try on my dress after alterations 2 weeks before the wedding. A week and a half before I called them because they hadn’t reached out to me and they told me they were working on it right then. 8 days before the wedding I was able to try on the dress and the alterations weren’t even close to fitting. The top of the dress was literally falling off because the straps were way too long. The dress felt as if it was just hanging off of me and was very heavy because it didn’t fit at all. I went back and tried it on 5 days before the wedding and the top was better, but the sides were huge. ... Read moreThe lady said it was a very difficult dress to alter. I’m assuming if they had just purchased the correct size for me originally it would have been much better. Needless to say, $400 later for alterations and I hated the dress. I had to have someone else alter the dress and they took in almost 4 INCHES on the waist, hips, and thighs!!! Finally I felt like I’d look good on my wedding day after much stress.
