I wouldn't consider myself an "anti-bride" but at the same time, I wasn't the type to imagine my wedding day as a child. I'm not a "girly" girl and while I approach these things with a game plan, I do get easily overwhelmed. That said, I couldn't be more happy with my choice to go to Pizazz for my wedding dress.There are a couple of reasons why I chose to go there:1.) They carry 5 of the designers that I was interested in -- Pronovias, Casablanca, Maggie Sottero, Sottero & Midgley, and Mori Lee (This was more than any other store)2.) Their website showed what was "in-stock" so I knew exactly what I could try on 3.) They list their prices on their website -- who does that nowadays?When I was ready, I called their store. To be honest, I was a little put off when I got an answering machine. I left a message but also sent an email -- just in case, anxious bride syndrome, I guess :). Brenda got back to me the next day and apologized. She explained that it's just her and her assistant and it's a busy season for proms and whatnot. Understandable. We scheduled the appointment when it was convenient for me and my party. We showed up yesterday, entered the cozy boutique and got started. Bethany (Brenda's assistant) took the lead. I had a bunch of pictures that I had printed straight from their website. Bethany began pulling the dresses I had listed. She also pulled a dress that wasn't on my list because she was attentive to the styles I liked and what I said I needed. I'm usually a very self conscious individual but I felt very comfortable here. We tried on a handful of gowns, including my favorite, the Pronovias Gomera, but at the end of the day, I ended up saying "YES!!!" to the one dress that Bethany had picked out for me -- a brand new 2012 Maggie Sottero.I couldn't believe how easy this was and how affordable it ended up being. I was honestly ready to spend 4 times what I did. There wasn't any pressure and they were considerate enough to make sure I wasn't overwhelmed throughout the appointment. I didn't think I would do it, but I cried when I knew that I was wearing my wedding gown. And it was all thanks to Bethany. This isn't Kleinfeld's or any other glitzy "salon." It is, by definition, a boutique. And while quaint, it is well stocked and it had the personal attention I was looking for. The only downside is that they don't do alterations.I walked out of their doors with my dress in hand. It is PERFECT.Thank you again, Bethany and Brenda.

My bridesmaids purchased their dresses from here as they are one of the few shops in Maryland that carry the Barri Jay line. Overall everything went well. Brenda the owner is a nice lady and I really enjoyed being helped by Bethany! She was great - super friendly!

Beautiful dress, best price in the tri-state area, wonderful to customer response and questions and helpful. The hours are tight and since it's only one person running the shop, it can be less flexible when you are working but make an appointment and everything is perfect.

The personal touch that you get at Pizazz is second to none. When I walked in I was greated with a huge hug and smile. I found my perfect dress in one stop and found my bridesmaides dresses there as well. Pizazz was also able to alter all of my bridesmaids dresses, my dress was a hard dress to alter so Pizazz reached out for another seamstress to make sure my dress was done perfectly and it was. I also purchased my veil from Pizazz and it went perfectly with my dress.

While I was completely satisfied with my dress, Iwas somewhat dissapointed in the amount of time and feedback I got once I ordered my dress. I ordered my dress in mid may and received it in December, my mom did not get hers until april. This caused undue stress for her. The selection was wonderful and you do get one on one service while trying on the dresses, it is just after the order and payment that I was dissatisfied.

I purchased some accessories here and was very happy with them. Pizazz is a little pricey, but everything is of a very high quality and the lady who helped me was very nice.

Pizazz is great because I was able to buy my wedding dress, my invitations, and other stationary all in the same place and they offered me incredible value for the cost. Definitely recommend.

I had a major problem with my dress. When I was ordering a brand new dress the lenghth was not measured correctly, so it came in too short. I had to pay for expensive extra material and for seamstress to get it fixed. Also, the bustle was sewed on so lightely that it ripped during the reception. Overall I am satisfied with the dress, but I was not too happy with the service.

Brenda,She is very nice to work with and very accomadating. During the Wedding Planning process things can get very hectic and she was very patient with me and was very flexible with scheduling appointments. She and her tailor were very fun and were true professionals with plenty of experience, which was comforting. Overall a great experience.

DO NOT go to Pizazz for anything wedding related. The owner, is never on time or open for that matter. She is very unprofessional. She will not listen to you, and will do whatever she feels best. She is not organized, and therefore loses everything(dresses, orders, or forgets to place an order). She is very confused at all times, and lies about everything to make it look as though she is never wrong. Terrible experience!!! The worst thing is she was excellent the first time I met her. Then after she had my business, and my entire wedding party, parents, flower girl, and invitations (which she ordered with the wrong date printed on them!!!) She acted completely different. She does not care about you!!!! She is only concerned with the money, and once you have paid her- WATCH OUT!!!

Pizazz was an amazing experience for me and my bridal party!! Pizazz provided beautiful dresses for my flower girls, bridesmaids and myself. Pizazz was dedicated to me as the bride...and very open to the entire wedding party coming in for private fittings. Pizazz gave the best price and searched everywhere until she found the dress that I wanted for my bridesmaids! I highly recomend Pizazz to all my friends especially since many of them are all starting to get married!

Pizazz was where we ordered all of my bridesmaids dresses and flower girls as well. It was a huge wedding party and they were more than accomodating to us all. She kept things organized and made things very easy for everyone!
