I just wanted to thank you for your assistance and patience! When my Daughter in law - to be and I arrived at your store we had been out all day and were emotional and exhausted. My Son and his Fiancé had been "friends" for over 14 years, ever since breaking up when they were 14 years old, and after many months of agonizing over the decision to marry, and deciding if they should do it before, or after my Son's impending deployment with the Army to Afghanistan, they made the decision to marry with only 2 weeks left before his deployment ...and she was living in Hawaii! We not only had to get her from Hawaii to Modesto, but we also had to get her fitted for a dress and get her to Texas for the wedding! We felt comfortable immediately when we arrived at your store, and when we explained what we needed, your ready knowledge of your in stock inventory was amazing to say the least. In less than 30 minutes we were able to fit "Katie" into her gown, and also her shoes. We also had the time to relax and take it all in before we actually purchased the items necessary to complete the needs for her trip to Texas to be married. Thanks for your help, and in the future we will not go all over town...we are coming directly to you!! Thanks so much for your special touch in making this special day, 14 years in the making happen in such a special way! My Son and Katie were married today in a small chapel off base and we are very thankful for the care and concern you showed in helping us get there and achieve our goal of getting them married...FINALLY! Now they can concentrate on the "Happily Ever After" Part of their lives together!! Thanks Again Martha G. - (mother of the groom) |

Dear Kim, Where do I begin? Well to tell all the plus size brides out there just how I was treated a few years ago for my best friends wedding. I was her maid of honor and a very large plus size woman. We went to multiple bridal shops in and out of Modesto. To my fear that came true, no one had a dress in my size. The consultants would take a look at me and say, "we don't have anything in your size." So I am devastated. Finally, the bride said, "let's go to that rental shop". So we all did. I walked in and the first question we all asked was can you fit me? Kim said, "No Problem". I couldn't believe my ears!! I asked her again, "are you sure". Kim again said "No Problem, let's just do the rentals". Well that was that. I had a bridesmaid dress for my best friends wedding. Skipping ahead a few years, I met the man of my dreams and fell in love. This year was my wedding and I didn't even think about going anyplace else, because Kim treated me so well last time. I walked in and I really didn't know what I even wanted. Kim said "I want to see you in this gown". I think I tried on one other gown and I bought the gown that Kim suggested for me. My entire bridal party purchased bridesmaid dresses from Rent A Bridal Gown and wow....were they gorgeous! She is so knowledgeable in her business. I had so many little questions that every time I was there, she took the time to answer every question. Kim is so well versed in this business with so much common sense on her shoulders, it seemed there was no question that she could not answer. I am grateful I met Kim and I just wanted to say THANKS, THANKS, THANKS for everything. ~ Jamie |

Dear Kim: Just a brief note to express my appreciation and respect for your willingness to help all those brides who found themselves without a dress when Special Days closed recently. I am grateful I had the opportunity to rent my wedding dress several weeks ago from you, someone who actually cares. Wishing you the best. Sincerely, |

Thank you
Mrs. Kim!
You are
such a Blessing My husband and I appreciate you sooooooooooooooo much!
You really help make our day special!
Love,

Hi Kim,
We wanted you to have this picture of us. We cannot thank you enough for all of your help. Thanks for the recommendation of the photographer, he was great! Roy and Nino |

My wedding was two and a half weeks away and I was in a complete panic.
I was having a small wedding with just my 2 teenaged daughters as
my attendants. Since I was on a tight budget, I decided to make
the girls’ dresses myself. Although one came out perfect, try as
I might I just could not get the second one to fit right. I had
driven past Kim’s shop many times, and decided to check it out. And
I sure was happy that I did! Kim immediately made me feel comfortable with her warm and friendly personality. More importantly, she put me at ease by demonstrating her high level of knowledge and expertise in bridal apparel. I had originally selected two different dresses to suit my daughters’ very different body types. But Kim suggested one dress style that flattered them equally well. She took their measurements and as promised, the dresses arrived the following week. With only one minor alteration, the dresses were ready in plenty of time for the wedding and I had one less thing to worry about. I think the most important thing brides need to know about the rental dresses is that they do not look “used” or “rented”. The dresses were made of good quality fabric, constructed with fine workmanship, and fit perfectly. No one could tell they were rentals. The girls received several compliments on their dresses and they weren’t stuck with expensive formals that they would never wear again. Kim provided us with awesome dresses, eased my anxiety, and allowed me to concentrate on the final details of the wedding. She has earned my gratitude and respect. Whether you are months away from your wedding or having a last minute panic attack, I would highly recommend renting a gown from Kim. |

| Kim helped me in every way from the bridesmaid dresses to my wedding gown that had cap sleeves specially ordered to fit and match my dress perfectly. She spent a lot of time with me in finding the near impossible plum color bridesmaid dresses that I was looking for (and we found them). She was patient and made sure I was happy with what I choose. Even when I changed my mind on occasion, she was pleasant and willing to do whatever I wanted. I appreciate everything Kim did to help make my special day more perfect. Keep working hard Kim. We brides appreciate the care and time you put into your work. ~ Rochelle | |

Hi Kim, I thought you might enjoy a picture from the wedding... everything
was fabulous! Traci |

I had been planning my dream wedding for over a year. Everything
had been picked out. I was positive that with so much detailed
planning I was ensuring that the last few weeks leading up to the
wedding would be stress-free. Boy, was I wrong!! I went into
a local bridal shop to begin the alteration process, and when I did, my
dress didn't fit!! It had already been altered to SOMEBODY ELSE'S body.
Yes, MY dress, PAID FOR, had been altered for someone else! Their
policy: You left it on your on will, your problem! I couldn't
believe it! I was furious with the local bridal shop! I was devastated!
How could this be happening 3 weeks before my wedding?! I drove home from the bridal shop in tears. As I did, I passed Kim's shop. We ordered our bridesmaids dresses from her, so as I passed and saw her car advertisement "Getting married this weekend? No problem!" I thought, OF COURSE!! I went into the shop a little hesitant. How could she really help people out on such short notice? I knew her slogan, but we ordered the bridesmaids dresses with plenty of time! I was in for a big surprise! Kim immediately greeted me by name! She always treats her customers like family! She sensed something was wrong. I'm guessing the tears gave it away! She told me EVERYTHING would be okay. Not to worry. I felt a little better hearing that, but still unsure. She asked what type of dress I had bought. I told her I wanted to start over fresh. No memories of that on my wedding day. So, she asked what I was looking for. She pulled out several beautiful gowns. I tried them on, one by one. I was getting discouraged. As beautiful as the dresses were, they weren't for me. With one dress left, my hopes were slim to none. I put on the dress and walked out of the fitting room, and started to cry. I found THE dress! Not the replacement dress, but THE dress!! I loved it more than the one I had purchased. My Mom came by and saw me in the dress and started crying! She LOVED it! She didn't even cry when I tried on my first gown! Kim was truly a life saver. She had the PERFECT dress for me. She also had the accessories I needed for my new gown! My jewelry was beautiful! I felt like a princess on my wedding day! For those of you who are worried about rental gowns, please do not be! LISTEN TO ME!! Nobody would have even known my dress was rented, that is how beautiful it looked! They are not torn, tattered or dirty. Kim works very hard to keep her inventory flawless! Without Kim, my wedding wouldn't have been a success! I rented my gown from her, the bridesmaids purchased their dresses from her, she made our boutonnières, the floral pieces for the church, ordered my shoes/flower girl basket/ring bearer pillow from her. My Mother-in-law even bought her dress from Kim!! I am so thankful for all Kim did for us! I know words will never do her justice. All I can do is recommend her services! She will work hard to make you happy. Afterall, she knows how important your wedding day should be! Even if you are skeptical, do me a favor, at least stop by and check it out. You won't be sorry that you did!! Kim is wonderful at what she does, and I never hesitate to let people know that my wedding was a success because of her! Melissa W. |

Dear Kim, Thank you so much for all of your help! I received so many comments on how beautiful my wedding dress was and my bridesmaids too! Thank you so much for making me an angel! Your expertise and professionalism made my decision easy and my special day flawless!! Stacy M. |

Kim's store is the BEST place to purchase a dress. She not only made you
feel comfortable, but you would explain the way you wanted your dress to
look, and sure enough she had one just for you. Kim did no pressuring of
any kind, and she let you take your time, and use any thing she had
available for you to put on. My mom came with me and as I stepped out of
the room my mom started crying. The dress that I purchased was
beautiful, and it was like if they had made it just for me. Kim I THANK
YOU for all that you did for me. I've already recommended you to one of
my friends who's planning on getting married. You don't know how you've
made buying a dress for me so easy and stress free. Thanks once again
Kim. Your a godsend in the bridal industry. ~Violette |

| I have done business with Kim numerous times for quite a few weddings and proms. Every time I stop in her shop no matter what the need is, I find my visit such a pleasure and always above and beyond what ever I ever expected. Kim has always performed miracles for my friends and family!!! My sister in-law's breast are sooooo large no one could get a dress in such short notice to fit her at all. Kim found a halter style that fit the breast finally but there was no hope for the waist line at all, her ingenuity and the help of her seamstress magically removed the zipper added loops and wide satin ribbon and we laced a corset up her back to keep that dress on, then the buttons were adjusted clear to the very edge at the top around the neck to hold those girls in place, I'm telling you one false move, and we would have had gone to jail for exposing the youngun's, but KIM had us covered!!! Kim is the BEST and if you want your details covered you can count on her any questions feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions you have.....Thanks Tammy D. | |

My future daughter in law and I were a little hesitant walking into
Kim's shop, but we soon got over it! Kim was very helpful, making us
feel comfortable and at ease and had some amazing ideas about the gown,
the veil and headband that Laura chose, who is a size ZERO! It's hard
enough for her trying to find everyday clothes that fit her, let alone a
wedding gown! We both really enjoyed ourselves while she tried on the
beautiful gowns and the dress Laura ultimately decided to BUY from Kim
is a gorgeous wedding gown and perfect for her tiny size. My son is going to be star-struck all over again when he comes home from the Navy in May to marry his sweetheart! She looks amazing in her gown! Kim is very knowledgeable about the gowns she carries or can order for you, as well as having all the accessories you need and then some! And since we were in a time crunch, she basically saved us a lot of headache worrying about getting the perfect gown at a price that was reasonable, affordable and on a timely basis. I am going to tell EVERYONE I know who is looking for a wedding gown, graduation or prom dress to try Kim's shop first, you won't be disappointed! Thanks again, Kim!

To all brides out there, no matter your
budget or imagination you owe it to yourself to, at the very least,
stop by and talk to Kim at Rent A Bridal Gown- you won't regret it.
I'm writing because I am a new bride who truly believes that
if it weren't for Rent a Bridal Gown my wedding day would have been
a disaster! My first reaction to renting a dress was
"never", but the more I thought about it the more sense it
made, plus I was getting nowhere by the "other" choices I
had in this area. When I walked into Kim's shop I was amazed
by the amount of things she had in such a small place, things I
hadn't even realized I wanted or needed- like the music for
"the march". Kim took one look at me and said she
knew what kind of dress I needed, she came back with 2 and that was
it. The second dress I tried I rented, I didn't even need to
look anymore, and Brides you know what a relief it is to find that
dress! Kim was made for this, she has an amazing ability to take what you have in your mind and make it a reality. All you have to do is ask. Kim loves what she does and it shows, you can tell when the two of you are discussing colors or decorations or shoes- she seems to be just as excited about finding the right fit as you are and it's great, because not everyone around you is continually excited as you are, anticipating your big day. She is so knowledgeable about the whole wedding experience. Not only that, she is pleasant to be around. The other thing about Kim is that she isn't a "salesman" she truly wants your day to be how you envisioned it to be, even if that means she has to be the one to tell you that you'd look much better in the 12 than the 8, trust me you won't come out of her shop in something that just doesn't flatter you. The only let down is that when your special day is over, you might feel like you've lost touch with a good friend. So, writing this is the only way I could think of to show my appreciation for all craziness that Kim pulled me through. Kim and Rent a Bridal Gown are one of a kind. Thank You So Much Kim!! Mrs. Mark S |

Hi Kim,
My daughter got married, and you did it all! But I have to tell your future brides of our experience. My daughter asked me to accompany her to every bridal shop she wanted to visit, of course looking for that “perfect” wedding gown, and trying to not spend a huge fortune. I have to add not only did we find her “perfect” gown, we also had a “perfect” experience. When I first walked into your shop, my first thought was WOW... how pretty it was in there. Then we met you, Kim. You were so warm and friendly, I instantly felt at complete comfort, and I had only known you for about 2 minutes. You asked my daughter a few questions, took one look at her and said, “I think I know just the gown that you are looking for”. You did bring 4 gowns into the dressing room. I remember you saying “I would really like to see you in this one.” So after a few minutes in the dressing room, and as you and I are chatting, my daughter opens the curtain. My jaw dropped! She took one look at herself in the mirror and she started to cry, and so did I. My daughter said “mom, this is it!”. Then you Kim just went to work of adding the perfect veil and tiara. You didn’t even flinch when it came to jewelry accessories. Within 5 minutes of coming out of the dressing room, my daughter was more gorgeous than I had ever seen. After adding up all the items that we rented, I couldn't believe that we got EVERYTHING for less than the price of a purchased wedding gown. I was thrilled. Now that I have had the chance to get to know you over the past 5 months, I just wanted to say THANK YOU. For just being there to answer our most silly questions to questions that if it weren’t for your thorough thinking, a couple of things might not have worked out. I have personally referred future brides to you just by over hearing their situations and I had to tell them about you. You are just a true asset to the bridal industry with the best personality, customer service and you have a heart of gold. Thanks again for making my daughter’s dreams come true. Cecil |

WOW!!!! What a beautiful wedding! I
couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator. :) Kim, truly made
my day easy and stress free. We had been planning for 4 months down to
the day before the wedding, which seemed like an eternity. But with all
the things Kim had to offer at her shop from, wedding gifts, to
bridesmaid dresses, to invitations, and of course my wedding gown, and
all the accessories. My wedding day with my best friend (my new husband)
was truly amazing. I wasn't the typical stressed out bride, because Rent
a Bridal Gown is truly the one stop shop. You can get EVERYTHING for
your wedding you can imagine. To all the future brides out there, you have nothing to worry about when you go to Rent A Bridal Gown. With all of Kim's expertise, she will truly make sure you are a beautiful bride as we all want to be. All you need to know is your budget and Kim will work her magic and make your day even more magical than anyone could ever imagine. 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. She tries her hardest and puts her whole heart into every brides wedding that walks through her doors. She stays up at night when everyone else is sleeping working hard and diligently on making everything perfect. She is truly a hard-working woman. Also, I have to mention the hard-working behind the scenes man. If you think it is just Kim that helps out with every wedding think again. Her husband, Geoff is her partner in crime that makes the magic happen. He stays up with her at night making flowers, doing alterations, and steaming dresses you name it he is there. Geoff helped out so much with my wedding behind the scenes, making sure things went smoothly, and all my girls dresses where wrinkle free. He is willing to do anything that is asked of him, and he does it all very well. I could go on and on about how beautiful my day was because of Kim, but I want to leave room for others to write their experiences with her too, because I know there are a lot out there. :) I can't say it enough times, but Thanks Kim, for making my day absolutely perfect beyond my dreams. You made all my dreams come true. I'm sooooooooooooooo happy and most of all a friend I can count on. Friends are the best part of ourselves. Thanks a million. !!! Michelle B. ~ Roseville, Ca |

| I was so exhausted from trying to look for a bridesmaid gown that I was brought to tears at work thinking of how I would ruin my friend's wedding by not being able to get the right color (Hunter Green). I was at my wits end, I had searched all over Modesto but to no avail. I am a plus-size you see, and most stores do not carry the selection that allows a last minute shopper to quickly get something. On the last day of work before the wedding, I finally decided to leave it in God's hands. I turned to the sky as I was stopped at the corner of Briggsmore and Coffee, and I prayed," Lord, I give up! Please give me a sign!" Would you believe that at THAT MOMENT, Kim drove right in front of me in her suburban and I kept repeating "rentabridalgown.com, rentabridalgown.com"! I smiled and decided to check out the web site. On Monday I went to her boutique. Already having practiced my "I know I waited till the last minute speech" I stepped in and asked if there was anything she could do. I never saw her flinch! She asked when the wedding was..."this Saturday" I replied, waiting for the I'm sorry it's to late speech.... But it never came, we tried a few dresses that were in stock, then decided on a rental. Believe me, at this point I would have worn anything that was Hunter Green! She made a phone call and informed me that the dress we had chosen and matching gloves would be in by Thursday. After minor alterations, I had a beautiful gown that fit perfectly by Friday!! The dress looked so good in fact, that my coworkers didn't recognize me until the reception! I can't thank Kim enough for saving the day. I'm sure if I had looked closer the day she passed by, I would have seen wings!! I will definitely recommend Kim to everyone that needs an angel. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease and knew that everything would be alright. Thank you so much, Kim!! Sincerely, Julia M. | |
| I was the frantic, I waited until the very last minute to do anything, maid of honor. And when I say last minute, I mean...last minute. The wedding itself only a week away. Not only did I still have to find a dress for the occasion, I had also taken on the responsibility of making the bridal bouquets and boutonnieres for the entire party. Seven days left which really means three or four days when you're working 40+ hours a week and taking care of a family. My hairdresser mentioned "rent-a-bridal gown" to me and said that a lot of people came into the salon and spoke highly of it and that may be a place for me to consider. The owner herself was a client of another hair stylist in the salon. I thought to myself, who is going to want to help me a week before the actual wedding. I am going to get laughed out of the store for even having the nerve to expect someone to help me the week before a wedding. So I decided I had nothing to lose and put my tail between my legs and drove to the corner of Orangeburg and College to this little bridal boutique. I was embarrassed to even say that I had waited until the last minute but inevitably the owner, Kim, asked..."When is the wedding?" I honestly didn't even want to tell her, but I did and I proceeded to say, "Can you help me?" I have to tell you, I have never been welcomed into a store more warmly and whole heartedly before in my life. She was absolutely wonderful. My saving grace. Kim took care of everything for me. I am going to be wearing the most beautiful cranberry gown with shoes and accessories to match. Not to mention the fact that she even took care of the bouquets and boutonnieres for the entire bridal party. Here it is now two days before the wedding and I am totally and completely stress free. I am the most complete and relaxed maid of honor and I owe it all to Kim. I would have never imagined renting a bridal gown or anything formal for that matter because it was just never heard of but I can honestly say I wish she would have been around seven years ago when I was stressing out over my own wedding. I will highly recommend Kim and her rent-a-bridal gown boutique to anyone and everyone. She is the absolute best and you just cannot beat the personal customer service that you will receive from the minute you walk through the door. That in itself is something unheard of in the retail market these days. I was privileged enough to also meet her husband and her mother on two different occasions and they are also really great people. If you are out there and looking at this site I encourage you to give her a call or better yet just go there for yourself. I promise you won't be disappointed and you will leave feeling great. Thanx so much, Kim. I know I have told you thanx over and over again but I really appreciate all that you have done for me. I am just going to be the best maid of honor ever and I owe it all to you. Sincerely, Samantha G. | |
| I went to a million different places to try and find a winter formal dress. Everything I found was way too expensive for my budget or just did not work for me. Finally, at one of the dress stores, a women told me about Rent A Bridal Gown. My sister and I went in the next day and as soon as we walked in I just liked the whole feeling of the store. The first dress I tried on was perfect. Not only did I end up buying a dress, but I bought shoes and rented a necklace and earrings! I got everything I needed in about 1 hour after searching for days. I was so happy to have found Rent A Bridal Gown. The best part was that I spent less on everything that I needed then all the girls spent on their one dress. And no one else had my dress at our winter formal and everyone loved it. I am for sure going back for prom! Melanie | |

Picture this, you are a month and a half
away from your wedding day and everything is set. You have the
bridesmaid dresses, the groomsmen have been fitted for their tuxes, your
honeymoon reservations have been confirmed, and all is well. Except
for one minor little detail, you do NOT have your wedding dress yet. |
|

I rented my bridal gown, bridesmaids gowns, jewelry, headpiece, and
petticoat from rent a bridal gown. I had a fantastic wedding. All
of my bridesmaids were so happy that they did not have to spend a fortune
on dresses that they would never wear again. I thought my wedding
dress was beautiful too. The service at Rent A Bridal Gown was
fantastic as well. I certainly recommend a;; the services at Rent A
Bridal Gown. Karen S. |

Kim, |
|
| I was a little apprehensive about renting a gown for this special day. But in the end I decided to go for it and to this day I am glad I did. I saved a ton of money and the dress was beautiful. Not only that but it was so conveniant. They altered it, pressed it, cleaned it,etc... all I had to do was pick it up and it was ready to go. No running around hassle of having to drop it off somewhere and go back to pick it up and then get it cleaned afterward and ready for storage. When i was done with it, we just returned it and that was it. No Fuss no muss!And they had a great selection of gowns, even in my size (plus-size). At the end of the day... you will be married and that is all that really matters...not how much money you spent on your dress that you will only wear once. And if you are thinking " Oh, but i want one my daughter could wear down the road"..lets face it! You are not wearing your mothers dress are you? Point taken? Anyway...just check it out, you wont be sorry you did! | |
