If you are looking for a bridal bargain in Central MA, you need to stop here. Marianne is clearly knowledgeable, but I was overwhelmed by her large personality and did not appreciate being told my vision was not ‘bridal enough’ (I went in looking for knee length and intended to wear Birkenstocks). However, there are lots of current dresses at seriously steal prices - be prepared to cash and carry.

Marianne is an attentive and genuinely passionate woman who clearly is doing what she loves. I had been to other bridal shops, but none was quite like Marianne's. She had a selection of dresses that were diverse in style, color, and price. I ended up finding my dress with my family and friends, and she helped us find a seamstress. She is wonderful, and I would absolutely recommend her and her wonderful store!

Going into the appointment I wasn't sure what I wanted and I was slightly overwhelmed by family picking out so many different styles. Marianne quicky picked up on the styles I liked and what I might want to try on. I tried on several gowns and wasn't fully convinced I would fine one I loved until I finally fell in love with the last gown I tried on. She made the appointment super fun and much less stressful. I not once felt rushed or pressured to purchase a gown. The gown was reasonably priced and Marianne was a pleasure to work with! I would recommend her shop to any wanting a stress free affordable dress shopping experience!

Marianne is seriously the best. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for taking me in and helping me out more than I ever expected. I never thought I would be choosing a dress at the first shop I went to, but we went to David's Bridal after your shop to solidify my decision for the dress that I found at her shop (which I wasn't doubting anyway). The sales woman at David's was not personable at all and their dresses were of way lesser quality than at Marianne's. Not to mention that they were trying to sell me the corset to go under it and the slip and the belt and the sleeves and this and that. I didn't need those at Marianne's because the dress had structure. The dress was iffy at first because I really wanted longer sleeves, but I am so glad that she went out of her way to put those sleeves on me from another dress and everything just felt right! I will forever be grateful for that. As a bigger girl, I don't normally feel comfortable trying on clothes, especially in front of people. When y... Read moreou make an appointment, you're the only ones in the store and I felt SO comfortable and that's very rare for me. What's even better is that I felt beautiful and comfortable in my dress. I don't feel like I need to adjust myself to hide parts of my body I'm insecure about. She gives you the option to put $100 deposit on the dress to hold it for a week if you need to think about it. It's non-refundable, but she has some gorgeous veils and other things that you can use the deposit on if you don't end up getting the dress. For the quality, especially compared to David's Bridal, the price is ridiculously good. I had a budget of under $1000 and that was met with ease. The dress hardly needs any alterations and it was like it was made for me with the addition of Marianne's special touch.

Absolutely loved my visit to Marianne's Bridal Outlet and I'm obviously so in love with my dress! She had a beautiful collection of gowns, organized so you could easily find what dresses by style/ material you liked. She was so helpful - she really listened to what you liked and didn't like about dresses. She was very supportive and didn't rush me at all. I've been to five dress shops before my visit to Marianne's, and I can say hands down that was my best experience.

Visited Mariannes after a a few visits to larger, more chain wedding dress stores. WOW, Marianne's was such a joy compared to those visits. I ended up finding my dress after trying on about 10 different dresses. She gave great guidance without adding any pressure. I found a dress I loved but needed my mother's opinion and Marianne was able to fit me in shortly 5 days later for a final appointment. I would recommend Marianne's to anyone looking for a wedding dress, especially a unique one that you might not be able to get anywhere else. Also, the value is excellent, all dresses under $1000, my dress retailed for $2300 but I paid $950!

I had gone to another store previously and felt overwhelmed and rushed. My experience with Marianne was the complete opposite, she created a fun and special experience for me and my bride tribe...and I said yes to the most beautiful dress!

Marianne went out of her way to get our appointment at a time that wasn’t the easiest for her but the only time that worked for us (due to family being in town only for a few days). She had “some of everything” style wise and was incredibly helpful in every aspect from getting dresses on and off to honest opinions about what works or doesn’t work . All of my guests felt included and since it was a private appointment, we were the only ones in the shop. She was incredibly helpful and patient, I would highly recommend this shop.

I had a wonderful experience dress shopping at Marianne’s. She’s a very kind, fun and welcoming person and brought a special touch to the shopping experience. I had the shop to myself (along with my mom and sister) and we had a great time picking out dresses, she had great suggestions and was very easy going and made me feel very comfortable. I tried on a lot of styles, she has a ton of options, and I found a few I liked. I ended up purchasing my dress here for $300! It will need just basic alterations (taken in, shortened straps, fix some minor loose beads), and it was in great condition. I highly recommend this shop, Marianne is amazing, her selection is great and you can’t beat the pricing. This was my 6th bridal shop, and while I had great experiences at others, this once definitely topped them all. I would highly recommend buying a dress here.

Can’t say enough about how great of an experience this was! Marianne was so friendly, warm and welcoming. I felt so at ease as soon as I walked through the door! Marianne first had me show her some dress inspiration so we looked at my Pinterest together to get a feel for my style. I loved that!! The store was so well organized and there were so many beautiful dresses and styles to choose from. Marianne had some amazing suggestions for me too; It was clear she really “got” my style. She was patient with me trying everything on. Not pushy at all. I tried on some dresses multiple times. She even took pictures for me! Great experience all around and even better I found my perfect dress here! Thank you Marianne!

My experience at Marianne's was exactly how I envisioned my bridal journey to begin. Marianne herself helped me and my party have a wonderful visit, offered great guidance and made us feel so welcome while we were there. The selection of designer gowns allowed me to find THE dress I was looking for, but at a price that I couldn't find elsewhere! I would recommend starting your own search for your dress here before anywhere else. With gorgeous options and great service you're bound to walk away happy, hearing wedding bells (and with a wonderful wedding dress in hand).

I loved how personal the appointments were. She gave great feed back on the dress and gave good recommendations on accessories. Loved the selections of the dresses too!

I visited Marianne’s on a recommendation from a friend who had also gotten her dress there. It was a wonderful experience. I was able to request the time of my appointment that worked for everyone coming with me and she arranged it without a problem! During the appointment Marianne was so helpful and pulled a bunch of dresses for me to try. I ended up finding my dress and veil that day. I loved that I was able to take it home that day and that the dress I was trying on would be my dress. I had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend visiting!

I’m so glad I decided to go to Marianne’s! She quickly responded to my email requesting an appointment on short notice while my sister was visiting. I couldn’t have been happier! We had visited 2 other stores but didn’t find “the one” until we went to Marianne’s! She listened to what I was looking for and let us pull some selections, made some suggestions but was never pushy. She was very attentive and we were the only ones in the store so it was very personalized. We had an overall great experience and found a gorgeous dress and veil perfect for me, while having a really fun time! Highly recommend for brides looking for beautiful dresses without emptying their bank account. Thanks Marianne!
