Kim & her husband are a great team! We wanted to elope somewhere private and quickly. This place was perfect for our family. Decorated beautifully! Kim recorded the service for us on our phone & took a few photos of us! Her husband married us! Thank you guys for helping make our special day, special! A day I’ll cherish forever.
This place is so beautiful! They were very friendly and made us feel so welcomed! Wonderful service and the set up was exactly what I wanted and more! It looked like something you see on Pinterest! We eloped I wasn’t expecting to be able to record our ceremony. They have a tripod and we were able to record everything and they helped us take pictures! I definitely recommend going here!
This compliment goes to a special person who has showed us so much happiness and positivism. Kim, thank you so much for the amazing ceremony that you performed in our wedding.Franklin&I want to thank you for everything that you have done in this special day. Many of my guests have said that you were great and amazing organizing everything. I really appreciate your patience and your kindness.Franklin and I are very thankful with you. We pray for health and love for you and your family.Love,Franklin&Keny
Very beautiful small chapel, great spot for a small family wedding. We had ours here and couldnt have asked for a better experience.
My family and I had the best experience with kim and her husband! They both made the process so easy! Very professional and beautiful place for everything bridal. Kim explained everything thoroughly and answered all my questions. She took beautiful pictures and was so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend The Bridal Station!!
- Decent prices- Stellar and personal service- Beautiful gownsMy fiancé and I decided, last minute, to move forward with our wedding despite the chaos in the world right now. We opted to just minimize the amount of guests and make it a small, safe, intimate gathering. This means 5 weeks to plan. I quickly googled wedding dress shops and most either didnt respond quickly or werent open (understandably) and then I came across The Bridal Station; booked an appointment that afternoon!As soon as I arrived Kim greeted me with the utmost excitement and kindness! She explained the process (this was my first wedding dress shopping experience) and walked me through some dress options she had gathered using inspiration photos I had sent earlier.Kim was incredibly patient, detailed and really took the time to understand my taste in a dress and what made sense for my body type. She was creative in her suggestions and I was just completely impressed. I ended up cancelling the two other appointments I had at other locations because I found my dress in the course of my appointment with Kim!Overall, I was tremendously pleased with my experience; Kim and her husband are two kind souls that truly have a passion for the work they do. I was incredibly lucky to have met them and to have had Kim guide me through this special experience!The Bridal Station is a bridal station INDEED! I highly recommend them.
My experience with Kim was amazing! Everything from her suggestions to her services were beyond what I expected. My wedding day was absolutely wonderful, beautiful and perfect. Truly the best day ever. I highly recommend any future brides to be to go through her. Thanks again Kim it was such a pleasure.
Would like to thank Kim @ Bridal Station & Wedding Chapel for all her help and guidance. And for making our day so beautiful ❤️From the initial conversation to the picture time after the ceremony, we felt truly cared for and our day was important to them also. If you are looking for wedding devices please give them a call. Thx again!!!
Thank you Kim for seeing us when u had a wedding to do. I appreciate it very much and all the advice and helpful tips u gave me. You are very experienced in the wedding industry and I was impressed. Thanks again I will send pics of the beautiful dress I purchased.
My husband and I did things a bit backwards. We applied for our marriage certificate first then planned...only to realize we had to get everything done in 90 days! Imagine our surprise when we contacted The Bridal Station and they had availability to officiate our very small confidential wedding in the middle of spring! Prime wedding season! Kim and Jeff were AMAZING! Not only were they extremely communicative the whole way through but they were both very helpful and made us feel comfortable. Because we did everything so last minute, I had a difficult time finding a silk flower arrangement and boutonniere I liked that I could get in time (a lot of Etsy sellers were based in other countries). I ended up finding a U.S based seller who’s order processing time quoted 2 weeks. I was so excited as I knew I’d have my flowers in time! Unfortunately, the seller did not communicate at all nor did she ship my order by the 2 week mark. I remembered Kim saying she made silk arrangements so I reached out to her asking if she’d be able to make something close to what I’d ordered. She told me she could. I bought all the flowers and less than 2 weeks later I had an ABSOLUTELY STUNNING bouquet, boutonnière AND she even made our daughter her own bouquet with leftover flowers. Her attention to detail is immaculate! I cannot begin to express my gratitude to her for this! I will cherish our flowers forever! Thank you so much to the both of you for accommodating us and helping us along the way! It was a pleasure meeting you both!
Geoff and Kim did an amazing job re-marrying me and my husband! The chapel is beautiful! and OH ! Thank you JESUS for the Concierge Marriage License Service they provided. The process went very smooth, no driving back and forth downtown. It made our lives so much easier. Great work ethic and very professional! Looking to get married? Go see Kim&Geoff at the Bridal Station!
Kim and Jeff were great. We just got married and the ceremony was excellent. Kim was organized and we didn’t have to worry about getting our license ourselves. The concierge service was easy and fast. Didn’t have to do anything. They did all the work. Kim and Geoff are very warm people that really care and go above and beyond to make you happy. I highly recommend this place to gate married. Thank you, thank you!
Absolutely amazing experience ! The process was super easy and they were so helpful. Definitely recommend.
Thank you both for creating an atmosphere where I genuinely felt my wedding day was as important to you as it was to me. I couldnt have asked for a simpler step-by-step process. You broke down every requirement and provided instructions to complete them. You made the proper accommodations for all my requests and eased all my concerns. Thank you Geoff and Kim, we are forever grateful ❤
Kim and Geoff were Amazing!!! We just got married here over the weekend and they made everything stress free and so comfortable. I am so glad I found this place!!! Thanks Kim and Geoff for everything. We appreciate you two sooo much for all you have done. Plus the License concierge was the best thing ever!!! So convenient!!! Thanks again
I called about ten wedding officiants trying to find someone to help me marry my fiance who is currently incarcerated. I was frustrated as neither one knew what, or how, that process works until I found The Bridal Station. Geoff and Kim knew the jails and county offices procedures and we immediately began the marriage process. It was affordable, efficient, quick, and planned out perfectly. Both, Geoff and Kim, are well organized and responded to all my texts and emails quickly. I couldnt ask for a better and worry-free experience. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts!
Had a great experience! kim helped me find the perfect dress! you can tell she really does her best to make her customers happy! would definitely recommend!
The store owner Kim was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly attentive and knows her wedding dresses! Just by looking at me, she recommended different styles that complimented my body shape and vision, without being pushy. She didn’t rush us at all, and I felt very comfortable in her shop. Would immediately recommend her shop to any soon to be bride!
This was such an absolutely amazing experience! Due to everything going on, I wasn’t able to have all my bridesmaids but I was very thankful I was able to try on dresses. The Bridal Station & Wedding Chapel was exactly what I’ve always dreamed of as an experience. Thank you for the support, helping me pick out dresses, and finding the perfect dress!Kim was so seriously so amazing. I loved being able to have my girls pick out dresses for me to try on. She was helpful for everything from the veil to suggestions for alterations on the dress. If you want to feel like a princess, go here!! Kim made me feel so special. This experience was absolutely amazing and the dresses were reasonably priced. I would 10/10 recommend this place to all my family and friends.
The owner are amazing! My husband and I had a wonderful time getting married there. They have a very super cute room were you they marry you! Also, the owners were amazingly knowledgeable about the industry and were great guides through the whole situation. Theyve been in the business for a long time and knew so much .WE APPRECIATED THEM SO MUCH!Definitely recommend getting married there!
Kim and Geoff were so polite and very welcoming! My husband and I used their concierge service so we didnt have to go downtown ourselves for the marriage license! That was wonderful! They have flexible times and work with you. I loved our experience!! Thank you Kim and Geoff!!
I would give Kim and Jeff one hundred stars if I could. They were so kind and helpful. They were both very knowledgeable and even gave us tips about everything most people wouldnt think about when getting married such as name changes and certificates and how to save money. Everything in the store was beautiful and it also smelled great! Kim keeps her dresses and accessories at a top-notch level literally for ANY budget! You get to leave the store with your dress in hand. They make you feel like family
Geoff & Kim are definitely the dynamic duo!My new Husband & I recently got married here and we are both extremely happy & pleased of how well everything turned out. Both Kim & Geoff are super friendly and do a phenomenal job of explaining everything in detail. Makes it easy to understand whats going on, whats going to happen and what to do. Lol The prices are super affordable and the best part us that Kim makes sure to make the big day very special! This is an absolute perfect place to get married. Affordable, friendly, has everything you need & the communication is the best! I mean customer service & appreciation @ its its best! Thank you Kim & Geoff!
I was very nervous to go into wedding dress shopping. After watching Say Yes to the Dress for years I thought I would be too picky. But Kim was so helpful!!! It was private. Just me, my two guest and Kim helping us out. She took her time with me and I didn’t feel rushed. I appreciate her so much! She honestly made everything so much easier.
I wish I could give this shop 20 stars! I had the best experience! Kim the owner is amazing! She listens to what you want and makes sure she stays in your price range. She made the wedding dress shopping event perfect! I wish I could go back and do it all over again because I enjoyed it so much! Beautiful dresses and nothing is over 1500 plus she pays the sales tax so you really cant beat that!
The Bridal station is AMAZING! Kim and her husband are very attentive, helpful and kind! Kim makes you feel so comfortable and she is very knowledgeable and honest which is very important! She isn’t just trying to make a sale, she’s making an experience and a positive one at that.She helped my best friend find the dress of her dreams and we couldn’t be more grateful!The Bridal Station is a very clean and positive environment. She has private dressing rooms and Brides get the store to themselves, unlike other bridal shops where you are basically in display for the whole store. She keeps the groups small which helps so much in finding the perfect dress.Kim not only has the dress shop, she’s an ordained minister, she does day of coordination and has a wedding chapel. She is a jack of all trades and a great choice for whatever your looking for on your big day.I HIGHLY recommend The Bridal Station & Wedding Chapel.
Kim was so much help with my quick wedding. We had a great experience and really made us feel like family on our very hectic day.
Amazing experience here! Kim and Geoff really take the time to listen and are extremely friendly! I found a dress I loved and finally said yes!! I cant thank them enough! The one bride at a time policy really give you that peacefulness to make your decisions and let it be about you. Very clean shop and well organized. I cant wait for my big day so my future husband can see my beautiful dress!!
So I went to a lot of bridal stores around Modesto, Merced and Fresno, and trust me, the service from this place(Bridal Station) was unique, compared to the ones I went, I think thats one of the reasons why I came back as well, because Kim gives u her full attention, she helps you choose ur dress, she helps you putting ur dress on, and the best part, she doesnt force you to buy it, because she knows its about your wedding and not by making money only, of course she would love to but she is so nice she dont even try and thats what I like about Kim, the respects u and she gives the space u need. If you looking for ur wedding dress u should try this one, I wish you the best tho, and remember you need to be able to say, This is the One no matter from what store😍😉, God bless you-By Chavela!!
I will always recommend Bridal Station to anyone I can!! Geoff and Kim were a huge blessing in a stressful situation! My husband and I had been engaged over a year and something came up for me medically so we needed to get married quickly. My boss got us in touch with Geoff who graciously told us exactly what steps we needed to take. When we came in the next afternoon to get married, both Kim and Geoff were very kind and sweet. They made everything perfect!Mr & Mrs Thomas
If you’re looking for a beautiful dress at a reasonable price, this place is for you! I have recommended the Bridal Station to five brides, all of whom purchased their dresses here and loved their experience. Kim, the owner, is very professional and gives a lot of insight to help you with decision making. My daughter in law recently purchased her dress here, and we all had a great time! I highly recommend this place to any bride to be!
Me and my wife recently got married at this location, I couldnt recommend the location and the owners of the store highly enough.I would highly advise anyone thinking about getting married to go to them before they even approach the marriage application and get their license. The owners of the store are true experts in the industry and will walk you through, patiently and with careful detail, all of the fine minutiae of getting married.We, unfortunately, did not consult them before obtaining our license -if we had we would have avoided much headache! Despite us having never been into the store before the day we were married, they went to bat for us and got the issue with the county resolved. They were a true blessing to us.
Great place. Beautiful wedding ceremony set up. Great dresses! Had a very pleasant time there. The owner is very professional and great to work with. Loved it! I definitely recommend the bridal station to others.
Kim gave us such a wonderful shopping experience. She listened to what my daughter wanted and was very helpful. Great selection of dress and accessories. We walked out with the perfect dress and veil. As the mother of the bride I was happy she stayed with our budget. The area they have set up for the family to wait that is clean and comfortable. It is great she only works with one bride at a time.
The Bridal Station saved my wedding! After an unfortunate fiasco with my originally purchased dress, I came to Kim two months before my wedding date, not sure what to expect! It’s an understatement to say that Kim is AMAZING!!! So knowledgeable about body types, so patient and so 100% invested in helping me find the perfect dress. She listened to my likes and dislikes and gave me her undivided attention for well over an hour, she was sensitive to my small budget and was quick to point out cost-saving options! I had feared I was going to be a dumpy, slightly chubby looking bride but Kim helped me find a dress that I truly feel beautiful in and even in my 30’s, I couldn’t help but twirl in front of the mirror! The whole time there was peaceful, relaxing and fun and I felt like a beautiful bride. Kim’s “one bride at a time” policy kept the store quiet and the atmosphere was delightful. I purchased a gorgeous dress on my tight budget (a budget so small that David’s Bridal would have laughed at if I’d even quoted to them, not to mention the process and knowledge assistance FAR superior to DB!!). Kim, thank you for investing into my dress and wedding! I’m referring EVERYONE to you!
I got married at this place and during this covid time we managed to have a beautiful ceremony at a beautiful place with immediate family members, Kimberley made everything so special and not rushed, thank you Kimberley at the Bridal Station !
Wonderful place! Kim and Jeff made it feel very special to find my perfect dress. They were very attentive as the shop does one bride at a time and the dresses are well priced. She had a large discounted area, where dresses were priced under 1000, and the back where my dress was, the gallery, and the sales tax was waived. Even gave me advice for when we get our marriage license. They had it all, found what I wanted and didnt pay an arm and a leg.
The absolute best service ever! Kim and Jeff are delightful to work with. I was dreading dress shopping since I had put on some weight and really didnt even want to do it. When we got to our appointment Kim was very welcoming. She immediately made me feel comfortable and after trying on a few things, I was able to express my concerns to her and she was SO compassionate. She helped me find a dress that fit my body great, accentuated the right places and made me comfortable. My communication with her didnt stop at the day we bought the dress. I still had several months before the dress actually came in. There were many nights I thought of something and would message her and have such a quick reply! Her communication was beyond amazing. Over the months she helped me on my weigh loss journey, eased my mind of worry and really made me feel great! I cant thank her enough for all she did during the process. When our wedding day came, my dress fit perfectly. I was happy and comfortable in it and didnt want to take it off! Thank you Kim and Jeff for adding to the amazing experience of my wedding :)
Kim is so great and professional. We found the perfect dress for my wedding with a great price! We got my dress for 1/2 of what David’s wanted me to pay and my dress is better quality! I highly recommend the bridal station!
July 4: Came into here on the Fourth of July to search for a wedding dress with an idea that I wanted something simple, elegant, satin, and tighter on top with a more flowy skirt portion. My family is huge and Kim (owner) accommodated us no problem. Kim grabbed a couple dresses that I thought I envisioned myself in on my wedding day and they were gorgeous. She then suggested I try something different based on certain body parts I wanted hidden and accentuated. We walked out of there that day (after 3 hours of me not being able to decide what I was doing, she’s so incredibly patient) with a dress that she suggested for me. It was nothing like I envisioned but at the same time is is absolutely perfect. No other dress fit my vision for my wedding better. Kim is so patient and talented. She’s very straightforward and takes so much pride in what she does that she has dedicated her livelihood and her career to making brides vision of their wedding days come to life.On my way out she asked me to send her pictures of my wedding day and hugged me and told me she was so excited for me. She then suggested an entire color scheme based on what I was telling her and gave me instructions on wedding certificates and all the not so fun stuff. Kim and her husband truly care about their clients and everything they do is in our best interest. And I felt that every step of the way.August 1: I went back to purchase my veil and that experience was just as good as finding my wedding dress. The experience was just as personal and even though this time there were others waiting she did not make me feel rushed or in a hurry. She also gave me the idea to have my future husband include my daughter in our ceremony in a way that is so special it brought tears to our eyes. I can’t say enough good things about Kim and her establishment. They are truly an amazing pair for brides to be. I can’t recommend them enough!!!
I was referred to Kim and Geoff by a friend. They are an amazing team. We felt so comfortable with both of them. We are having a smallish backyard wedding. Geoff is such a comfortable soul. Kim is so full of wonderful ideas and enthusiasm. Honest and uplifting and oh so affordable.I just want to put her in my pocket and call her my best friend. Can I rate Kim and Geoff 10 stars? Laura & Doug
Had an amazing wedding thanks to Kim and Geoff they made our experience wonderful and made everything easy for us .
Kim was amazing!! I was stressing out thinking I wasnt going to be able to find a dress in time. Not only did I find a dress, I found THE dress. Once again Kim youre amazing! Ill send everyone your way.
Absolutely loved working with Geoff and Kim! Geoff did an amazing jobofficiating our wedding on May 18th. I cant tell you how many of the guest came up to us and said how beautiful our ceremony was and what a great job Geoff did. We know that Kim puts her heart and soul into writing vows and working with couples to make sure they receive the ceremony thats perfect for them. Kim our ceremony was perfect! We cant thank you and Geoff enough for making our wedding so unforgettable for us and for everyone else.Id also like to mention how much Kims assistance was appreciatedwith adding a little bling to a dress I already had. The brooch really looked stunning on my dress and added just the right touch, along with the beautiful hair clip in the back of my hair. I absolutely felt like a beautiful bride on my wedding day.From the bottom of our hearts we thank you both!
What a relief! I walked in down and upset I couldnt find a dress and walked out relieved with a beautiful dress. I couldnt be happier!
Love the place. we give hands up all the way around. 10 stars plus more
I love the bridal station Kim and Geoff are so kind and helpful and accommodating I looked at a million dresses and found my dream dress and veil at a steal of a price and since their dresses are not ordered no on else will have mine 😊 I highly reccomend them for any wedding needs💖
Kim is amazing! She was so helpful in finding my perfect dress! I would recommend her for to anyone for their dress and all accessories. Im so glad I found The Bridal Station!
Okay so this was my seventh store. Being that I have a tiny figure and only 53 dress shopping has not been a walk in the park. Everything too big and completely pinned up with no idea how its going to look like on me in my size. Well not here!!! I called Kim this afternoon to let her know that I was going to be in around 5:45 to look at dresses. She was very friendly on the phone I told her a bit about my schedule and she said they had a wedding going on at 6 and if there was something I wanted to try on she could help me. I gave her an idea and showed her the pictures of the only 2 dresses that I absolutely liked out of the 15+ that I had tried on. She was awesome. She let me browse through the dresses while looking herself as well. I was so happy to see the numbers 0-6 because EVERYWHERE around here carries an 8 as the smallest size. Kim took her time and listened to what I wanted. She let me pick out dresses to try on. I started trying them on and she came in with a dress that was completely different from the style I wanted. I tried it on and was in AWE. This dress complemented every area of my body that i wanted it to. It pulled away from the flaws that I saw with my own eyes and pulled you right to the dress. Needless to say I said yes to the dress that she picked for me. Had she not jumped in the way she did and listened to what I wanted I would have never found a dress. I found the PERFECT dress way under my budget all thanks to Kim at the bridal station. Also just a small word of advise. Try to step a bit out of your comfort zone and trust the EXPERT (Kim). Now this store will be my lucky number 7! Thank you Kim for all of your help tonight!
Im extremely disappointed by there no children policy. We came in from out of town to come and try on wedding dresses. My daughter who is also my flower girl was attending. They handed us a pink pamphlet and stated no children are allowed. I said she is very well behaved and loves these types of things. She stated children of the past have ruined it for future children to attend. I told her it was unfortunate they were willing to lose a customer. She said to come back when I had a sitter and I told her I would not be returning for how rudely she handled the situation. The abrupt and rude greeting was not warranted. I am pleased to have found my dress elsewhere later that day at a boutique that did not have a problem with children attending.
By far the worse customer service Ive seen. Especially in a store like this. The man at the front counter was extremely rude. And so was the women in back. Im assuming husband and wife. Poor people. Cant browse dresses and if you would like to try them on God for bid it be more then 3 dresses. Then they charge you $25 lol.. trying to stay in business I guess. Anyways I wouldnt recommend this place. We went to Davids bridal after and they were outstanding. So professional and know how to make a bride feel special!
I bought my wedding deess, all bridesmaid dresses and the mother of the bride dress from them! They have been great every time. Kim took her time and worked with ball of us to help us find the perfect dresses
Thank you kim for all the help you to find the right dress for me great customer service ❤
Kim & Jeff are the most Amazing people to talk to when plaining your big day. Kim was so much help with dress picking for my body type and with little details in my wedding. Jeff was amazing and patient with us. The ceremony was beautiful and Jeffs help reminding me to breath and asking if i was ok made it more personal. Thank you both again so much!! I 100% will refer anyone i know needing wedding stuff to Kim & Jeff. Thank you both again!!
Kim welcomes you into her store with the biggest smile you can ever> see, her heart is so warm and open to all walks of life and> situations. She is truly an amazing person.

Cant say enough about Kim and Goeff. They are a perfect team and we (wife and I) were welcomed like family. We were walk-ins to be married on a Friday and got great service from Kim with the paperwork, and Geoff with wonderful words in a civil ceremony on the premises. Between the two owners is a wealth of knowledge and experience. Kim even offered to mail our completed license to the county.The Chapel is beautiful and is nestled behind the bridal store in the front of the building. So, be sure to look for The Bridal Station signs when you drive on McHenry. Thanks, Kim and Goeff!
Geoff and Kim went above and beyond to help me and my husband Todd get married. I highly recommend them and their services.
Kim was absolutely lovely with my family and I as I walked in even without an appointment and left with my beautiful wedding dress! I recommend the bridal station to anyone and everyone!!!
I absolutely wouldnt recommend this place to ANYONE. The service was horrible. She made us leave a 2 year old in a stroller at the front, we all had to wear gloves to touch anything, then when it was time to try on dresses the lady made ALL of us go to the back even though some were still looking at the dresses. It was just so weird and Id never go back.
Kim is amazing
SOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN DAVIDS BRIDAL!!! Kim the owner made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in! She asked for information about what we were looking for and took a waist measurement. She knew we needed a dress right away & she gave us 15+ options, never going over our budget. She made sure we were comfortable & cared for. All prices were clearly displayed & there were no hidden costs.When we mentioned that I was the only bride trying on dresses, she said that they do 1 bride appointments so that you dont feel rushed or ignored. SO TRUE! Davids bridal was rude, pushy & not as caring as Kim. She took the time to help me feel beautiful. As a plus size bride, I was pleasantly suprised to see how many options were available to me.Thank you Kim! I will recommend you to all brides I know!
Wonderful service and strong expertise! I said yes to the dress here!
Very clean cute place to tie the knot. Friendly personnel
Kim was awesome! And my friend said Yes to the Dress!!!
Beautiful and Elegant all in one place!!
Awesome place
