Our first time at Touch of Class Bridal. My daughter needed alterations done to a bridesmaids dress. Their seamstress Laurie was brilliant! Very accommodating, and reassuring. Have total confidence that Laurie will succeed in her task to make the dress look fabulous and fit well! Thanks Laurie!

The first thing I want to say is that the dresses here are absolutely gorgeous. The reason Im giving the boutique three stars is due to the customer service. I hope the owner reads this because this is only constructive criticism. I think the owner needs to be a little more hands-off when a bride comes in to find a dress. It felt a little pushy and salesperson-y when I was there and I honestly just wanted a little more space to really think about each dress I tried on.

I found my gown today through A Touch of Class Bridal! They were very helpful and showed me several of the dresses that I asked to try on along with some they chose that they thought I would like. With the pandemic and a lot of my bridal party being out of state, they set up a zoom meeting and made me feel that they were actually there with me in person. Very great experience and would recommend to any bride-to-be! Thank you so much ladies! Y’all were so helpful and the greatest hype-women I needed with my party today!

They treated me just like I was part of the family and it was a wonderful experience of getting my wedding dress there. I recommend any women thats trying to get a wedding dress for a good price should go here. I got the most beautiful dress for only $280 and they were so wonderful and so polite and it was just so like train on a dress at home💖

Touch of class bridal had beautiful dresses but my budget was just way too tight for them because the lady who helped me kept pulling the most hideous dresses.It was like old fashion lace, I told her exactly what I wanted. She should have just told me with my budget there wasn’t anything like that.Go to starlet! They are amazing!!

Today I found my dress at A Touch of Class Bridal! Im incredibly shy and shudder at the thought of being the center of attention, but I still was looking for a beautiful dress for my elopement ceremony. Debbie and Judy were patient with my indecisiveness and inability to articulate what I what I wanted, but we got there! Thank you to both of you ladies for your extensive knowledge of your inventory, knowing to pull *the dress* that hadnt been marked down yet! Im looking forward to surprising my future husband with a killer dress from your store!

Great and knowledgeable service! I came here looking for a wedding reception dress, and Judy was wonderfully efficient! I stopped by without an appointment, but she came up to me right away even though there were a few customers there and asked what I was looking for by when. Although there werent any short dresses in store, she showed me the catalog pages of dresses that fit my description exactly and informed me that she could have the dresses ordered and in shop in two days. Then, she recommended checking out Suit Up in Santa Rosa Plaza. All of this happened in less than ten minutes.I loved how helpful and efficient this visit was. Unfortunately, the store does not carry short dresses because they did not sell when they had them in the past, but she was able to show me exactly what I was looking for in the catalog and provide a timeframe. Thanks to her recommendation to another local business though, I found the dress I spent all day looking for!I will definitely come again next time I am in need of formal wear. 🙂Pros: Great service. Very efficient. A local business that supports other local businesses. This is how I wish all dress store visits wereCons: No reception dresses in store to try on. Must purchase via catalog without an opportunity to try it on and no guarantee for a return

We used a Touch of Class for my sister in laws wedding. They were so helpful and made sure we had everything in plenty of time. I loved the personal attention from the seamstress that did our alterations. She was spot on! I felt beautiful in the wedding as did my daughter. My husband looked stunning and even bought an Italian suit too. What a great experience!

Absolutely the perfect place to find what you need for your wedding. A mom and pop kind of place, both been in the business for over 50yrs. If the groom and bride to be are stressing about their big day or just need that perfect dress or suit for that special moment coming up, this is the place to go. No matter how busy or short handed they will have you taken care of and walking out with a smile on your face hands down 100% guaranteed satisfaction ❤💯🎁🎆🦄🙌

I took my daughter to Touch of Class to shop for her wedding dress. She had been to several shops in San Francisco and found nothing that she really liked, let alone loved. When we came to TOC, Judy was very accommodating and helpful. Her dress samples were stunning and the prices were very reasonable, especially given our experience is the City. We found the Sydney, an Italian embroidered dress thats a stunner! My daughter just had a fitting this past Sunday and were both overjoyed with the beauty of the style and fit. It was an amazing experience and Judy is very experienced and she is knows how to fit a dress.

I am not the bride or the mother of the bride...yet. I am a woman in need of a gown that will make my son proud to have his mom on his arm at his military ball. Judy was so sweet and wonderful and helped me find just that. I felt like a princess and was able to find the perfect dress for a reasonable price. Thank you Judy!

Excellent customer service, caring staff and expansive selection of gowns at reasonable prices. This place is a community treasure, from the options to the assistance with altering, hemming, the whole process comes together smoothly. I would return and bring friends/family! This place doesnt up sale, or push you to make a purchase that isnt necessary. A rare find this day and age. Give them a chance and youll see if you have been shopping around, they are a great value and have lots of figure flattering options.

The staff at A Touch of Class Bridal make bridal dreams come true!! I found A Touch of Class Bridal when I inquired about a bridesmaid dress I liked that was not available anywhere else. The drive from my house to the salon is an 1 1/2 hour, and it was so worth the trip. I felt a connection and warmth from the Owner and Staff from the moment I walked in. I am so grateful to Judy, Fran and their staff for their expertise and guidance they gave me during the whole selection process. They could not have been more kind to me, my friends and bridal party. I found my bridesmaid dresses there, and my wedding dress at this shop( very affordable). They went above and beyond to make my requests a reality. The staff at A Touch of Class Bridal feel like family and I will be forever grateful for all they did to make me feel like the most beautiful bride ever... I could not be happier and more satisfied with their service, care and support I was given during my selection process. I had a vision and with their expertise and knowledge made it come true beyond my wildest dreams. My Maid of Honor loved the them so much she purchased her Mothers of the Bride dress from A Touch of Class Bridal for her daughters wedding . Give them a call right now you wont regret it.

Lets just say that I definitely had find the dress stress when I walked into Touch of Class Bridal, on a Friday morning, a little over a month until my wedding date. I was not only in a time crunch but on a very strict budget. Previous shopping had led me to almost give up on getting an actual wedding gown, but I was pleasantly surprised by Judys welcoming demeanor. Besides making me feel totally comfortable about my schedule and budget, she gave me lots of options!Judy carries unique dress styles and also has an alterations price list available. I tried on 8 or so dresses, narrowed it down to 4, and even though I felt like I already knew which one I was going to pick, scheduled an appointment for the next day to come back for the final decision....with my fiance(he was my only option)!! When I told Judy and her staff (worked closest with Christina, who was AMAZING!) of my intention, they didnt make me feel bad about it but supported me instead. Actually the whole experience (with a little encouragement from my friends back home) gave me the confidence to just leave him at home!Judy is very knowledgeable and kind. She really helped make my big day very special. While I wouldnt recommend waiting until the last minute to find your dress, I definitely recommend going to Touch of Class Bridal for your big day!!

I got my dress here today and I LOVED my experience. Christina worked with me and did an amazing job with everything. She was patient with us (My sister, my 7 year old nephew, and three of my wonderful friends) while picking out dresses to try on, with the trying on process and rolled with the jokes and strong opinions. She was attentive to me and encouraging every step of the way. She was knowledgeable and FUN! Dress shopping can be stressful, especially for me right now ( I am a plus size bride who is losing weight each week), she knew what style would look best and how to help me shimmy into them. She had no problem being honest and encouraging! I highly recommend going here and working with Christina (though each of the women there were kind, funny and knowledgeable) to get your wedding dress!

My first day looking for wedding dresses and I decided to stop by this one to begin my wedding dress experience. First off, the ambiance is so pretty and not overwhelming. Classy is the first word that popped into my mind when I saw the style of dresses to choose from ! I knew I was going to find my dress there. While trying the dresses on I didnt feel uncomfortable at all, and the stylist was very kind and knew what kind of style I was looking for. Amazing service, beautiful little shop, and very kind ladies who work/own the business. I am so happy I chose this boutique to find the dress of my dreams for my special day !!! And shopping local is always a plus!!! THANK YOU LADIES for treating my mom and I so well on wednesday night

Judy and her crew are amazing! A Touch of Class Bridal did an exceptional job with my wedding dress and my bridesmaids dresses. I had quite a few out of town bridesmaids that Judy and her seamstress totally took care of. I couldnt have had a more professional team help me with my large wedding party. My husband and his groomsmen were also taken very good care of by The Tuxedo Gallery, which is in the same building. Definitely a place to consider if you live in Sonoma County. I found this mom and pop local business to cater to my needs much more than some of the larger, more corporate bridal shops in town and in the Bay Area.

Today, I said YES to the dress! I found this place because I saw a dress I loved on Pinterest— a beautiful Kenneth Winston gown. I contacted the designer and asked where I could buy this dress. The designer told me A Touch of Class carries their line and they would be able to get a loaner dress shipped to the store for me. I called A Touch of Class and left a message, and Judy called be back shortly after. She said she could order the loaner dress for $75, a portion of which I would have gotten back if I had ended up buying that dress. Judy told me she carried a lot of dresses and had quite a few that were similar to the one that I liked on Pinterest. She encouraged to need to come in and try some dresses on and said that she’s had girls in the past do that and end up not even needing to order the loaner. I had only been to one other retailer to try dresses on and did not have a very good experience, so I was hoping this would be different. I did a lot of online shopping, but knew I needed to try some dresses on. So I made an appointment and went in today with my mom and cousin. Judy and her partner, Lindsay, run the store, with Judy’s husband Rick also helping out. Rick greeted us and gave us tags that we used to mark dresses I wanted to try on while Judy finished up an appointment. The store was not huge, but rather intimate with so many dresses neatly lined up on racks. The store was nicely and comfortably decorated and laid out. It took us about 20 minutes to look through all the dresses and tag the ones we wanted to try on. The curtained dressing area was big with full-length mirrors and a pedestal step, with comfortable chairs placed outside. Judy helped me get into all of my dresses and was so knowledgeable about every dress in the store. She was knowledgeable about the designers, the styles, and any possible alterations or changes. She told me pretty much any changes I wanted could be made to any dress. That helped me feel more excited about dress shopping, which had honestly been a very overwhelming and stressful process for me until I went into A Touch of Class. Judy had a very good idea of what I was looking for after seeing the dresses I picked out. She was amazing and shared anecdotes from other brides (she calls her customers her “girls”) and background about her, Rick, and the store. We had fun chatting and trying on dresses. The dress I ended up choosing was NOTHING like the dresses I had been looking at. She told me she had been walking past the dress I ended up with to put other dresses away during my appointment and three different times she thought: “she needs to try that dress on,” but she kept telling herself that it was not what I was looking for. Finally, she asked my mom and cousin what they thought and said she wanted to see me in it because she thought it would be very flattering to my figure. I tried the dress on for fun, but ended up absolutely loving it! It is so beautiful and elegant with very exquisite, beautiful lace. I absolutely love it. I told Judy she is “The Dress Whisperer.” She called Rick and Lindsay over to come see me in the dress, as well. Judy and Rick are wonderful people, very kind and friendly with great senses of humor. Lindsay is also a very sweet lady. I really appreciate them all so much and just felt so comfortable there— like family. I had such a wonderful and perfect experience today and I’m so happy that I found a dress and that I absolutely love dress that I picked. I have been floating on a cloud all day after that appointment. Not only do they have a great variety of dresses here without being overwhelming like some other bridal retailers, but the prices are so reasonable. Many of the dresses are actually discounted, and Judy was kind enough to put a small discount on my dress even though it was not one of the ones that was marked down. They also sell men’s suits and tuxedos for very reasonable prices and prom, bridesmaids, and mother-of-the-bride gowns. I am so happy and cannot recommend A Touch of Class enough.

Go here! Judy is very sweet, as is all her staff. As a bride and bridesmaid this year I have literally been to everyshop in Santa Rosa and beyond, I got the best service here. The staff is attentive and comforting. I really love going into a place that is small, low key, and has unique dresses. I will miss Judy (and the staff) after this summer- shes like a mom to me now!

Review №27

The shop isnt fancy but I thought the friendliness of a small shop more than made up for it when I came in to buy the dress. Unfortunately, after this there was quite a lot of disorganization in the ordering and delivery of the dress. The dress is late, without a delivery timeframe, with two weeks to the wedding date. Things happen, and a kind and straightforward communication style can give you confidence that at least whatever can be done is being done. Unfortunately, they have just been condescending and brushed off my questions about where we stand.The reason I wrote this review is to warn anyone in a similar time crunch that this isnt the right shop.I did have a rush order, so Im definitely more worried about timing than most ladies. Overall, if you dont need your shop to be very organized in a short time frame and dont need to communicate with them beyond ordering and picking up your dress, this place would be just fine.PS know your measurements before going in and insist on choosing your size based on the manufacturers guide.

Judy and her team are amazing to work with! With 2 weddings in the same summer, we got all our dresses here and the staff are helpful and informative all the way! We had varying budgets for everyone, and they never treated us like budgets mattered for even a second. Judy is really knowledgeable about what works on on all different types, about the different designers - and we benefitted a lot from her knowledge. Plus basic alterations were included which made it easy 1-stop shopping! Thank you!!

Worst experience ever! Becky the manager is nasty and just plain rude! I do not recommend this place to anyone! Their customer service will ruin your wedding. All of my dresses were delayed three weeks and I didnt receive them until a week before my wedding date! I would have expected some kind of compensation or service but was only ignored.
