I could not be happier with Mariee and can't imagine having gotten my dress anywhere else! After going to another high end bridal store in Scottsdale I just didn't feel like I had that "moment". I called Carrie and James and they got me in that day to try on gowns and the first one was "the one". Cindy did my alterations and when I say she worked her butt off on it that is an understatement. It fit me PERFECTLY. I still have people raving and asking me about my dress! I could just keep typing but I'll stop :) just go there!

Could not be happier! I've visited several other bridal shops both in Minneapolis and the Phoenix area and none even compared to Mariee! The owners are incredible and they carry an amazing selection of gowns. My experience at Mariee has been just wonderful from the second I made my appointment. From the get go when I called to make my appointment, I felt like they were setting me up for success and really cared about what I wanted in a bridal gown. They asked me about my budget and the style of gown I was interested in and based on my answers, they recommended a specific designer that they thought would be a good fit. They suggested that I check out the designer's website and asked me to call them back with the style number of any dresses that jumped out to me - this way, if they didn't already have the dress in the store they would get a sample for me to try on. I fell in love with a dress by the designer they recommended and they were able to get the sample for me to try on. My search was over - the dress was everything I wanted and more! Dress shopping can be such an overwhelming experience as there are so many choices, so it's really helpful to go to a shop where they really know their stuff - and they do at Mariee! They were able to pin point a designer based on my feedback and without their recommendation, I may have never found my perfect dress. They really care about their customers and want to make each bride's experience a magical one. There was never any pressure to look at dresses outside of my budget or to buy a dress that I wasn't sure about. It was clear that they just wanted me to find my dream dress and once I did, they were just as happy for me as the friends and family that I had with me. Thank you, Mariee, for such a wonderful experience.

Beautiful selection, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I could have purchased my gown from a few different places in town, but chose them for service which they delivered every step of the way. Definitely make it here on your search for the dress!

They are very flexible and willing to work with your schedule. They have very beautiful things and everyone is going to be able to find something they love. I found my veil and jewels for my dress. Everything was beautiful. Thank you so much

I loved the unique dresses Mariee offered, I had looked at several other bridal shops in the valley and found that Mariee offered a selection I had not seen before, with prices in reason and great service. I would recommend if you have a budget of $1500 or more.

My best friend is getting married and I was searching for dress shops by reviews to make sure she had the BEST first experience trying on dresses. I searched the reviews high and low and this was one of my TOP choices. It is very conveniently located in Gainey ranch in Scottsdale. They were very accommodating even when I had to reschedule her appointment last minute! Once we went into the shop, we were worried she wouldn't be able to afford some of their beautiful dresses because of her tight budget! To our surprise- they had her PERFECT dress and under budget! The ladies there were SO knowledgeable and professional and really took the time to explain all of their options and processes. I would recommend Mariee to ANYONE looking for their perfect dress.. They have a remarkable selection of dresses (that no other dress store has)! They ordered her dress and even got it in within a couple of months! They have amazing alterations ladies that are very professional and can accommodate ANY thing you ask of them! The shop don't even charge commission fees to them to keep the alteration costs LOW! & they meet at the shop for all fittings to keep your travel time low and convenient! Thank you Mariee for making everything so amazing and easy!

The store is smaller and it has a great feel. They are truly there to help you and know one else. Some dresses are a little pricey but they do cater to all budgets. Overall very good experience!

I looked at hundreds of dresses and tried on close to 40 in Boston and Scottsdale, but I never found a selection of dresses more beautiful and high-quality than at Mariee. Susan's personal attention is amazing. She truly wanted me to find my dream dress whether or not that meant I purchased from her. She has a small selection of dresses, but she has individually picked each one for it's uniqueness and high-quality. While I only saw a couple of dresses that I thought I might be able to walk down the aisle in at the 5-6 other salons I had appointments, there were 3 or 4 at Mariee alone that I loved. My final choice was love at first sight. It was a private collection dress and I had never seen anything like it. Susan suggested it and at first I was skeptical, but as soon as I tried it on, I knew it was the one.
As an out of town bride (living and getting married in Boston), Susan was so helpful to me and my mother and was so flexible with us. She even opened the shop on a day when they should have been closed so I could try it on one more time before ordering it and then did the same for us when I came in for alterations a month before my wedding. If I could only visit one bridal salon in the Phoenix area, Mariee would be it.

I got my wedding dress, and both my mother's and my husband's mother's dress from Susan at Mariee, and had a wonderful experience. She was incredibly helpful, accommodating my busy schedule for trials and fittings, and helping both mother's find dresses that were both flattering and reasonably priced. She has a wonderful selection of beautiful and unique brands at all price points, and is great to work with. I also decided to add complicated lace straps to a strapless dress and she helped me order the exact lace of my dress to match, as well as connect me with a talented seamstress to pull it all together. I highly recommend Susan and Mariee to any bride!

I loved, loved, loved everything about Mariee Bridal. I had the greatest experience there. This was my first wedding event and I couldn't have felt better about it. They have knowledgeable staff. They gave me good choices. They were considerate of my budget and even made sure to point out way cheaper dresses. They let me take enough time when I couldn't decide between two dresses. Also, they recommended Stephanie as a seamstress and she is absolutely great and her prices are reasonable. If you are looking for a special dress and good service at reasonable prices, this is the place to go!

My appointment at Mariee started hours after they usually close. I had already been to several shops in Tempe, Chandler, and Scottsdale. Mariee was my last stop, being the north most store. Despite how tired I was, I"m so glad I kept my appointment. My NorCal tastes were definately met. Susan wasn't insane with energy and was very calm. (As a side note, I won't be reviewing the two other stores where my sales people can only be described as insane). She knew exactly what I was looking for when I said that I wanted a Madeline Vionnet bias cut. As a CA gallery owner, I appreciate what they are doing at Mariee by finding small desginers. What I further appreciate is that the prices are nothing like they are in CA. My dress was fifteen hundred and the alterations (uneventfully perfect) were one-eighty. It was definately worth the flight. I don't know many girls outside of my family in Arizona. If I did, I would definately send them to Mariee. I love the bridal as art thing. Keep it up!

I visited Mariee on the recommedation of a friend who had seen bridesmaids dresses from their shop at a wedding she attended. It was the first bridal shop I visited, and I only had plans to begin my search for the perfect dress that night.
However, in that first trip to Mariee, I tried on about 20 dresses...and kept coming back to the second dress I tried on and just KNEW that was the dress for me.
After the success I had in finding my dress there, I decided to look for bridesmaids dresses there as well. I had a bridal party of 6, 2 of whom were out-of-towners (Chicago and NYC), and Susan was incredibly helpful in coordinating getting measurements from the out-of-town bridesmaids (one of whom was my Maid of Honor) and in working with me to ensure that the out-of-town bridesmaids had as much information as possible regarding the small bustle that each girl's dress needed, as their dresses had a bit of a train.
Both Susan and Sarah were always helpful and incredible responsive to any questions I had early on in the process, as a number of alterations were made to my gown by the manufacturer---all of which Susan coordinated for me, the result of which was perfect...a dress that made me feel beautiful on our wedding day.
I found the shop to be personal, helpful. I recommend that future brides absolutely make a stop there as the search for "the" dress begins!

Susan at Mariee has the most beautiful and unique wedding dresses I saw during my search. She was extremely sweet and helpful. My dress was my favorite part of my wedding!

I had a great experience from beginning to end at Mariee's. Susan was my sales consultant and she picked out the perfect dress! I purchased a Pronovias dress and I love the style and it fit perfectly after alterations. Everyone at the store was friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. This store has many great designers in stock and I would definetly recommend to anyone to look for a dress here first! This is a place to look for quality dresses and you will get what you pay for.

I was so confused with regard to my dress before I met with Susan at Mariee. She new right away which ones would look stunning on me. She was right on each count. I couldn't have been happier with the level of service and the dress I bought.
