Personable and Caring-- A Place Like This is What Every Bride Needs! I had been flustered planning out my wedding and getting a wedding dress. Been to a few places to try on dresses and they either made me feel uncomfortable or totally ignored me (bad customer service). Here both women were very nice. Although it is a small store, they are very personable and willing to accommodate you and answer any questions you have. These women know their stuff and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place fo... read more

Nice & Accomodating This is a very nice bridal salon with plenty of help and they definately make yo ufeel welcome. It is several steps above a David's or Bridesmart. They are very well organized and do not feel like a retail store. They have a lovely selection of stunning bridal gowns in tons of materials. The staff is helpful and offer great suggestions. They were not pushy and did not try to oversell things. They did not have a lot by the way of shoes but the dresses were worth it. PROS: A step above retail stores CONS: n... read more

Very happy customer! I was really happy with my experience there. Everyone working there is super nice and helpful. I made appointments both times I went in before buying and was helped promptly and attentively. There was absolutely no pressure to buy, tack on accessories, etc. Though I did end up buying a few more things later on and that all went smoothly as well. I was planning on buying my dress in a store anyway but I was really surprised that the dress was actually cheaper than the price I was looking at online. (Thoug... read more

Not A Happy Customer! I usually do not write reviews, but I just had to for this place. My mom and I went in this bridal store a couple of days ago to look for my bridal gown. We waited forever before someone noticed us. We didn’t say anything and the lady brought us the gown. There were about 8 other people in there at the time and only two staff members. After I tried on the gown (which was of poor quality anyways) we just left. Nobody even bothered asking how it fit or if we would like to try anything else on. Needless ... read more

Dream Dress plus Great Experience I found Catherine Simms online, searching for a specific dress. I went there and showed the pictures of what I was looking for, and they had THE DRESS at thier fingertips. I was able to try it on, make changes that they were already familar with, and have it all for the price we wanted. The only issue I had was it was farther than I would have wanted to dirve, but well worth it! I wish I had a reason to wear my dress again!! Dana was a doll- they were all very sweet and helpful. For those do... read more

Best bridal shop in the Chicago area I cannot say enough good things about Catherine Simms. It is the first place that I went when I was looking for a wedding dress. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. They gave me enough space to look around for myself, but they were always right there to help out with any assistance that I needed. I found a dress that I liked, but I had some reservations about certain aspects of the cut of the dress. A sales associate called the designer to see if the dress could be customized to fit... read more

Very nice experience.... I really enjoyed my experience in this store. I made an appointment, and was 20 minutes late---but they were still very accomodating. The staff was friendly, helped me in and out of the gowns, and clipped the ones that didn't fit, so that I could get an idea of what it would look like in my correct size. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, knowing what would look best on my body type. While I am doing a beach wedding, and nothing they had was really that informal, they did their best to show me... read more

I Would Not Recommend I did not receive prompt and reliable service from this bridal store. Catherine Simms did not demonstrate their knowledge and expertise in a positive manner. Their products are sold at unfair prices. The environment was unpleasant. I was not comfortable or at ease when looking for dresses. I would never use this business again nor would I recommend this business to my worst enemy.

Great little shop This is such a nice place to do business. I was able to take my time and the girls really helped me without being pushy. I am in love with my dress and I and really had fun with the entire experience. I would highly recommend this cute little shop!
