I couldnt have asked for a better bridal dress shopping experience!I had my mom from out of state and also my grandparents video chat me. It was easy and fun. I loved that the amazing lady who helped never gave me to much of what i didn’t want. She gave me all the right suggestions. She was so professional, nice and respectful.I love this place so much. What an experience!10/10 highly recommend!

We absolutely had the best experience with our daughter looking for a wedding gown. The owner, Jena, greeted us with much warmth and she was really attentive to our daughters needs. Our daughter was very nervous and Jena helped her feel very comfortable, and our daughter found her dress. Thank you so very much!

Jena was so sweet and made my special day of finding a dress an amazing experience! She has a wonderful selection and gave us the best service ever! Will forever recommend her and her business!

Merrime Bridal is fantastic!!! The owner is so personable, professional, and really made our dress shopping special. The champagne was a delicious touch- even at 9am! Everything here is perfect and Merrime Bridal will be remembered as a unique and amazing part of my wedding day!

Merrime service was amazing. Having the shop to myself with my family to pick out the perfect dress was great. No pressure was put on me to choose a dress the day I was there. But of course, I found an amazing dress for my wedding day! Thank you to Merrime Bride & Soirée for a fabulous experience! I highly recommend them.

Merrime was the best experience! Adrienne really was great at helping me find what I wanted in my wedding dress. I ended up finding my dream dress and I wouldn’t have wanted to find it anywhere else! You won’t be disappointed if you go here.

We went to several bridal stores before this and just happened to stumble across Merrime while near Albany for the weekend. My grandmother, mother and I had a wonderful experience. Adrienne was available to answer our questions and made the experience light-hearted and stress free. I found my dress that day and our visit was exactly the type of experience you imagine when youre hoping to, say yes to the dress! Very clean, selection was wide but manageable (and not stressful like larger bridal stores), and felt comfortable and intimate.

Merrime was a wonderful place to find the place of my dreams! The staff are knowledgeable, caring and friendly, and I would highly recommend them to any bride to be!

I LOVED my experience at Merrime Bride & Soiree. The personalized appointment allowed me to feel cherished as a bride. My mom, who is a buyer of womens clothes for a shop in Eugene, and I were incredibly impressed with the selection, the quality of the dresses, and the affordable prices. I had such a hard decision to make when I tried on the dresses, but I narrowed it down to a beautiful lace gown. A few months later, we went back with my bridesmaids to find some dresses; their dresses were stunning and accentuated all the right features.Our shopping all happened prior to the pandemic as time progressed I know many brides postponed or changed their plans; however, my fiance and I decided no matter if we had 10 people attending or if we had to do a double header wedding we were going to go ahead with our plans. I felt like I planned for four different weddings as Governor issued each executive orders; nevertheless, we are so thankful we were able to get married. Our wedding wasnt the way we planned: we had to cut our guest list in half, we socially distanced chairs and tables, we had two cakes (a grooms cake and the wedding cake in case we had to do two ceremonies), our photos now are a historical document of a pandemic, and our two week honeymoon to Hawaii was cancelled. And yet we wouldnt change a thing! If you are engaged, dont wait for the perfect moment. Your wedding will be beautiful, charming and memorable even if everything doesnt fall into place. However, commit to shopping local! Merrime Bride & Soiree should be your first choice in shopping for your wedding dress and your bridesmaids. They will not disappoint you or your significant other when they get their first glimpse of you.

All brides should try Merrime Bride & Spiree when searching for their dream wedding dress! Adrienne makes you and your group feel welcome and at ease during your personal appointment with elegant store lighting, refreshments, and soft music. Merrime carries so many sizes and styles of wedding dresses and accessories. They even have relationships with the dress designers and can modify some dresses as the bride desires. I tried on dresses at Kleinfeld in NYC but found my dream wedding dress at Merrime!

Limited choices, not flexible on price which was kinda a bummer for the retired styles to still be so expensive (1600.00), didnt have the best customer service experience or the bridal experience we had hoped for... sales lady was fairly cold and uninviting... they do have some beautiful dresses but overall I wouldnt recommend. They dont offer alterations.

Merrime made me feel like a total princess on my wedding day. My dress made me feel gorgeous, sexy, and even more excited to marry my hunny. The staff at Merrime are excellent, the care that they give and the kindness that they show is incredible. The one thing I will say is that their dresses are pretty spendy, but totally worth the price! Definitely recommend getting your dream dress here!

Merrime has a wide variety of gorgeous dresses and accessories at great prices. The experience is very personal since only one bride is in the store at a time. I was able to find my dream dress for my wedding in the perfect size and walk out the door with it the same day!

At first, I was stressed about planning the wedding of my dreams and finding the perfect bridal gown. But then, my friend told me about Merrime Bridal. This was the one and only bridal shop I went to. This bridal shop is SO cute! I really enjoyed going to Merrime because Adrienne is super sweet and helpful with finding the perfect dress, the bridal shop has a timeless beauty with the brick, you get quality one-on-one time trying on bridal gowns, and all the dresses are gorgeous!! Thank you so much for helping me find the perfect dress that made me feel like a princess on my wedding day :)

Merrime was such a joy to work with. Adrienne was so helpful and helped me find my dream dress on my first visit, she helped me through every step of the way. My veil was perfect and I am so blessed I had this experience with them! Adrienne was also my day of coordinator and she helped me get through every stressful situation with ease. I cannot thank her and her mom enough for their kindness, professionalism and big hearts. If you are looking for a dress, this is the MUST stop. You won’t regret it. 💕

I would 10/10 HIGHLY recommend getting your dress here. Adrienne does a wonderful job of making you feel both beautiful and comfortable. Her shop is by appointment only so you and the loved ones you choose to bring along have the whole shop to yourselves. Her dress selection is amazing the style and quality are both there. I am IN LOVE with my dress but, there were a lot of close seconds. I was really anxious about dress shopping because my mom had recently passed away and the idea of shopping for my big day without her broke my heart. Adrienne was so sincere and kind. Go to Merrime! You will not be disappointed.

This place is the best! Having the one on one experience made it so special. Not only did I receive the best customer service I made a new friend. The dresses were so beautiful!!

I had the best experience at Merrime. I absolutely LOVED my dress. While I found the perfect dress for me there, I also felt like there were MANY beautiful dresses there, all looked well made and elegant. Adrienne made sure we had everything we needed! Highly recommend!!!

I could not have been happier with my experience at Merrime! Adrienne and her mom were both so helpful in both appointments I had. I went back to buy my dress on the second appointment. Each appointment is personal and only has one bride at a time in the shop making it incredibly intimate and special. There was a good range of styles and silhouettes all at a great price point.

This is by far the best experience I have had in my wedding planning! Adrienne makes this experience so personal and special! Not to mention every dress is absolutely gorgeous! They have a large variety of styles and sizes! I HIGHLY recommend!!

Adrienne was wonderful. She opened early to accommodate our newly engaged daughter who was visiting for Thanksgiving. She took the time to get her all of the information she needs to assist in the decision making process. A great experience for all of us!

Walked into our appointment, the owner immediately launched into concern about the wedding date. I understand that this is a factor, however it was a negative first impression. No congratulations or welcome. Next, we were left to our own devices to pick out dresses. She didnt ask for input on what were looking for. Just waited for us to find dresses, and then the bride needed to state she wishes to try them on now. Selection left a lot to be desired, bride tried on two dresses and we got out as soon as possible. Uninviting.

The best part about my merrime experience was that I was the only one in the shop. The ladies seemed to really care about my experience. They both had to see the dress I picked. My dress also came in super fast.

With two daughters getting married in less that a year I have visited many bridal stores including Portland, Salem and Bend. We have had a lot of lovely experiences but Merrime in Albany was hands down the best. Adrienne and her mother Debra make a lovely mother daughter team! This is the kind of place where you will feel good about making your purchase. My daughter was able to find the perfect dress at reasonable price.

Adrienne and her mom helped me so much find my most perfect wedding dress! She also helped all my bridesmaids get into their dresses too! Couldn’t of asked for a better experience!Xoxo Kenzi.

Not only did I find the perfect dress here, the experience alone earned 5 stars! The mother - daughter team made it so fun, easy and stress free! The atmosphere is relaxed and the interior is beautiful; exactly what you envision when you think about dress shopping.

I purchased my wedding dress at Merrime Bride & Soriee and picked it up yesterday.With this whole pandemic going on, I sadly wasnt able to try it on with her before taking it home. So Adrienne and I video chatted and she walked my friend thru all the steps of how to get the form fitting dress to fit me perfectly. It wasnt the most ideal way to see your dress on you for the first time but we totally made the best of it under the given circumstances. She was extremely helpful even just over the phone telling us how to put the dress on. We probably couldnt have done it without her help and guidance. Im super appreciative of Adrienne and all her help thru all of this. Im so glad I purchased my dress at Merrime Bride ! I love my dress

Wedding dress shopping was a bust here. Being the first on our list to try the lady was short, uninviting, and seemed to be bothered by our presence. Needless to say, we left quickly. Thankfully, we were able to salvage the day by other bridal shops professionalism on our list. I would never recommend this place to someone I care about.

I made an appt for my best friend to try on wedding dresses for her special day in November. I made sure to let the owner know the wedding date and that we realized we would most likely have to choose something off the rack. We were the first appt on a Sat morning. She came to the door and unlocked it for us. The first thing she asked was the wedding date. When we told her (again) she was quick to tell us that we most likely find a dress. She did not ask what kind or size we were looking for. We were left to look through the very small selection available. We were there for 5 minutes and walked out very disappointed. We would never recommend this shop to anyone.

Wonderful shopping experience. No pressure, super helpful and patient. A wonderful variety of styles and sizes to try on.

Merrime Bridal is a fantastic place to find your dress. Adrienne is incredibly accommodating and makes your experience personal. She is wonderful at communicating and supremely helpful. Merrimes dress selection is nothing short of whimsical. I highly recommend Merrime Bridal!

Loved everything about my experience! Debra was the absolute best and treated my little group so well! I highly recommend coming here to look for your perfect dress!

Im getting married!! Wedding dress shopping should be an exciting experience right?.. Well it was, until I walked into Merrime Bride. I was met at my appointnent by the owner who immediately shared her concerns with me about My wedding date. (I know its in 2 months... its My wedding date) She was very negative with me about not being able to order anything because there wasnt time. I did not feel welcomed & I no longer felt excited to be there. My anxiety about trying on wedding dresses went through the roof! Next... NO HELP from her at all. My bridesmaids & I were left to aimlessly wander and try to figure out her very limited selection & sizes. Im a pretty average size 10... theres was literally no selection for me to view in my size. She wasnt even encouraging about being able to alter. I actually left wanting to cry. Horrible experience.

Awesome experience. Friendly and accommodating staff. Good selection. Great bridal store for our community of albany.

Just had the most amazing expirence!!! Found the dress that i love and Adrien opened up on a Sunday when they are normally closed for a private session. She made the expirence so much fun and easy. THANK YOU again :)

The ladies are knowledgeable and not pushy.The place is small but they have a nice variety of beautiful dresses.

The ladies at Merrime are super sweet - I HIGHLY recommend you check them out!

Wonderful, very comfortable store

Gorgeous shop, beautiful dresses, low pressure....super helpful

Beautiful Clothing, friendly people.
