We love celebrating with the people who mean the most to you! Our bridal suites offer comfortable seating for four to five guests in addition to the bride. While we understand you may wish to include more loved ones, seating is limited, and larger groups may not be comfortably accommodated. We encourage you to bring the people whose opinions matter most as you find your wedding gown.
