"I cannot say enough good things about Susan and my experience with carrie karibo Bridal. It was the experience I was hoping to get and feel shopping for a dress. I emailed to see if I could come in the next day. They made room in their schedule for me to come in. The shop is gorgeous and very clean. Susan was very friendly, respectful, honest, and knowledgeable. I came in with a tight timeline. Susan knew immediately where to shop on the floor. She listened to what I was looking for. She was very patient with my requests of trying on different dresses and vales. I’m happy to say I said yes to the dress with Susan’s help and patience. Since I’m on a tight timeline, they created a contingency plan to make sure I can get married in the dress I’ve chosen. Perfect experience and bridal shop. Thank you for giving me the experience I was hoping for."

"Waited until I got my dress to write this so I could have the full picture of the whole experience with this shop. This is a true 5/5 start time with Carrie Karibo and the ladies (especially Susan) who helped me pick my dress. Dress ended up being custom with Martina Liana and no complaints at all and was in when they quoted that it would be. The shop is beautiful and made my whole crew feel comfortable and excited with us during the shopping experience. Would definitely recommend and they really take good care of you!"

"Of all of the places in the bridal district, Carrie Karibo Bridal was the BEST! I found the process of finding a dress overwhelming and the staff at Carrie Karibo was very patient with me and extremely helpful in finding a dress that was perfect for body type and style. They were also amazing in helping find dress styles that all of my bridesmaids would look beautiful in. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!"

"BEAUTIFUL selection of dresses, I was definitely drawn to their collection of Martina Liana gowns. I loved that during our appointment we had our own private room that was beautifully decorated and had gorgeous lighting. There were curtains surrounding the pedestal area that you close when changing into dresses and then can open when you're ready to show your party. It was definitely more private than the other boutiques that we visited in the area. Everyone was very friendly and overall it was a really great experience!"
Alexis S.
"I had the best experience at Carrie Karibo. Gorgeous dresses, amazing advice, and even better people. They listened to my concerns, what I wanted in a dress, are very accommodating, but most importantly wanted to make sure I felt beautiful in my dream dress. They definitely know how to make a bride feel special. I would go here 1000 times again! 💓"

"Carrie Karibo Bridal is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We ended up at Carrie Karibo Bridal by chance and I am SO incredibly thankful we did. We originally had an appointment at another boutique but ended up giving it away due to the crowded and chaotic environment. Initially, I was a little disappointed as I knew it would be hard to find availability as a walk-in on a busy Saturday (plus we had four adults and a baby in our group) but when we stopped into Carrie Karibo Bridal, Carrie (the owner) did not even blink an eye and said ‘Of course we can take you!’. The boutique itself was stunning with a beautiful section for bridesmaids' dresses in the front and then a private oasis for wedding dresses in the back. The oversized dressing rooms were perfect for me and my guests to relax and truly enjoy the experience. Sherry, my consultant, was wonderful. She explained all the different styles and showed me where they were located in the boutique (which was super helpful as it can be overwhelming to sift through hundreds of dresses!). Additionally, she made sure to point out specific designers that were within my price range. During the appointment, Carrie would occasionally pop in to see how things were going and even sat down to play with the baby - how SWEET is that?! The whole experience was absolutely magical - topped off by finding my dream dress and celebrating with champagne. I cannot thank Carrie, Sherry, and the staff at Carrie Karibo Bridal enough for making my day beyond perfect."

"Carrie Karibo Bridal Boutique goes above and beyond!! The atmosphere is marvelous! This should be every bride's first stop, I promise you, you won’t regret it. A huge shoutout and thank you go to Julie! She is an amazing and incredible human being!! I am terrible at shopping already, and the idea of dress shopping made me very anxious. With Julie by my side, all my worries melted away. She helped make my entire experience so much fun. She was patient, kind and listened to what ideas I had. The first dress she suggested for me to try on, was of course the dress I said yes to! Thank you all for everything you did!"
Polly M.
"From the bridal appointment to picking up my gown, Carrie Karibo and all the staff made my experience truly wonderful. Even through the uncertainty of 2020, my mind was always put at ease by the professional, kind and experienced staff. If you are shopping in the Reading Bridal District, you MUST stop at Carrie Karibo!"

"When I first went into Carrie Karibo, I immediately felt welcomed. I loved the atmosphere and everyone was so nice. The dressing rooms were spacious enough to fit the 6 people I brought with me. Emma was absolutely amazing! She was so patient and so fun to work with. Emma knew the style I liked but picked something a little different than what I pictured. Turns out, the dress she chose for me is the one! I said yes to the dress! I couldn’t be more excited about finding my dream dress and I’m so happy I was able to experience it at Carrie Karibo. Also, a huge shout out to Courtney and Sherry for helping us out when Emma couldn’t be there. They were also so sweet and fun to work with!"

"AMAZING! I never thought I'd find the right dress for me, but I felt welcomed and taken care of the second my mom, aunt, and I walked in the door at Carrie Karibo Bridal Boutique, which is absolutely beautiful! Christine was so fun to work with and knew exactly what I was looking for and helped direct to to many beautiful options. Carrie then helped us make my dream dress come to life! These ladies know what they're doing and will not let you down! Such a great experience!!! Thank you!"

"I can’t say enough great things about this bridal boutique!! Susan was my consultant, and she truly listened to what I wanted in a dress. She was professional and knowledgeable. Susan kept me focused on finding the right dress in a way that made me feel supported and motivated! Susan found THE PERFECT dress for me, and she and Sherry helped me pick out the best accessories! When I returned to pick up my dress, I felt welcomed and just as special as I did before I had even purchased a dress. They have a huge selection of wedding gowns, bridesmaids' dresses, and mother of the bride dresses. The shop is gorgeous and newly renovated, and it is so clean and beautiful!! The parking is super convenient. Just all around, I couldn’t and didn’t find a better experience or dress! This place is just the absolute best!!"

She took in consideration my budget and made the whole experience so special! I can’t wait to pick up my dress!!"
