We are so humbled by the precious letters and comments on the web from our customers. Amanda Thank you so much again, my dress was beyond what I imagined I could have. Betty I cannot say enough about Debbie - what an amazing person! I had walked into other stores but never tried on a dress because I just didn't feel like I mattered to the people working there. The way I see it, I get to have one special day and I want to look my best on that day. I don't want any drama or mess ups with the dress I pick so I need to know that the person who sells me the dress is going to make my purchase easy as pie. I walked into Chatfields and showed Debbie the type of dress I wanted. She was honest with me in saying that her dresses are a bit more modest than the one in the picture I brought. I decided to try on one of her dresses anyways. Amazingly enough, the very first dress I tried on was the one I ended up buying! It was SOO beautiful!! I felt beautiful and skinny (haha)!Then Debbie found me a veil and jewelery and within an hour and a half, I had everything I needed! And the price was UNBELIEVABLE!!! People don't believe me when I say that I payed less than $1,000 for all that.In short, Debbie is friendly, cheerful, and very honest. This is where you should shop, ladies! Liron Linda I felt beautiful in the dress, it was amazing! Thank you for helping me find my dream dress!! I am trying to send you more clients, but all my friends that are getting married are out here, (want to move to California?) God Bless, Elizabeth The wedding was just perfect and everyone loved my dress. Susan I wanted to thank everyone for helping me find my perfect wedding dress. God really blessed me and my family by finding your store. The people that work there are such nice and genuine people. I enjoyed every minute of my time there and everyone made me so comfortable. Everything on my dress was perfect even the extra pieces and things added. Peggy was so great and thoughtful. She knew exactly what she was talking about and she knew exactly how to make it look like it was just supposed to be there. Thank you so much again everyone for all you did for me! May God bless your store and all your lives for many many years to come. Love, Morgan The dress fit me wonderfully, we just added a few touches to it: sleeves, and some pretty material under the split front and neckline. I thought you would like to see how it turned out. :) Thank you for helping me find the perfect dress!!! You were such a blessing! I have attached some pictures from the wedding so you can see how the dress turned out. Thank you again for all of your help. It was greatly appreciated and I was very happy with your prompt service. Jenny Thank you for your kindness. Here is a photo from our wedding. Kimberly Katie I feel like you're part of our family now. Thank you for my perfect dress! Elizabeth Bianca It's perfect! Ayelet Debbie and Chatfields are both the very best!!! Debbie walked me through every moment of picking out the perfect dress for my wedding. She made sure I had it in time when I moved my wedding date up by 2 months and made sure that it was perfectly altered. I don't know of any other shop that has dresses as beautiful as Chatfield's and service as great as Debbie. I got a hug after every visit and felt like true friends by the last fitting. When my husband saw me walking down the aisle he started tearing up and couldn't take his eyes off me. He said it was so worth the wait to see me looking like I did in my wedding dress. Thank you Debbie sooooo much!!!!!!!!! Anna Thank you! Kristina I just wanted to send you a couple of pics of me wearing my dress at our wedding. Thank you so much for all of your help! Jyll Thank you again for your wonderful service to me and the girls! The dresses were all perfectly beautiful, especially mine! I LOVED wearing it! Thank you for your part in making our wedding so perfect! Caitlyn Thank you for everything! My dress was absolutely great and extremely comfortable to wear all day!!! Thanks again! Erika About a year ago (wow) my mom and I came to your store to buy my wedding dress!! :0) I loved it and felt like a princess the whole day! I promised you I would send you pictures --- so here they are :0) You guys were a wonderful blessing during a crazy time. Thank you so much for all the time and energy you invested in us. I have been recommending you to friends and online ever since! May God bless you... Lyndsey I just wanted to thank you for your help with my dress selection. I LOVED the dress so much. The entire day was wonderful and I felt like a princess. Karah Thank you for everything. Charni You have provided wonderful customer service and concern. You have to know I was really nervous about ordering on line. But in spite of the little snafu on my end with the measurements your service has been impeccable. I think what I may do is have the seamstress insert a lace or sheer inlay to add those inches. But whatever I do it will be fine. The most important thing is the marriage. I will send you pictures. Pam I appreciated all the hard work you all put into making me look my best, and I couldn't wait to get the pro pics to show you how things turned out! I have been recommending your services to every prospective bride I know, and I'll definitely continue to do so. I hope you enjoy the photos. I sure enjoyed wearing my dress! Thank you so much! Olivia Thank you so much for making our wedding day holy and modest! Julie You are my favorite woman! Our Lord Jesus Christ has given you a sweet spririt and gentle spirit. Thank you so much for all your help in finding a wedding dress. I pray that our Lord Jesus Chris will bless the work of your hands for HIS glory. Sincerly, In CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD Rajanigandha I absolutely adore my dress and thank you so much for being a part of helping make it perfect for me! Sharon Now that the wedding is done, I want to share my experience at Chatfields. I don't even know where to begin to explain how grateful I am. My daughter wanted a modest wedding dress, which personally I was thrilled that she didn't choose a strapless wedding gown. I was a little nervous about their location, expecting to see expensive gowns. They are very reasonably priced. The dress was exactly what she wanted and we knew when she tried it on. I started to tear up, not because of the dress so much, but because my baby was getting married. I was personally touched that Debbie and her mother also started to tear up as well. Then we all started to laugh. I felt, they cared about my daughter's happiness, not just the sale of a gown. I promised them that I will shout it from the mountain tops and will be a walking advertisement for this lovely, lovely shop. I read some of the other reviews, and I understand now why they felt compelled to write. When you are treated with kindness and courteous service, you want everyone to know. Please consider this store when you are shopping for a wedding gown. Wila_Georgia Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I know I could not have had the wedding that I did without your help. All of my best and happy holidays, Laura I was looking for a modest dress. I found the dress I wanted online and looked up the nearest dealer. Chatfield's Boutique was listed as the closest location (over 3 hours). When I called and told her which dress I was looking for, she said she had two in stock... one in my size! She was pleasant to talk to and very accommodating for long distance travelers. Although she is a small boutique and only has few sizes of each style, she offered to let me take the dress from the store the day I came.When we got to the store, it felt comfortable from the moment we opened the door. Debbie was so charming and so welcoming! I picked out the dress I wanted to try on and as soon as I stepped out onto the platform, it was obvious that was my dress. Debbie is a very positive, no pressure lady who gives her undivided attention (even with 3 customers in the store!!). The fact that she helped me design my own veil for a reasonable price was the cherry on top.Anyone who is looking for a pleasant shopping experience for destination, modest, or maternity gowns, this is THE boutique to shop. I was so pleased with my experience and you will be too! Amanda Thank you for everything. Katie I wanted to write about this absolutely charming bridal shop. Finding the perfect dress is somewhat daunting and I cannot be more pleased with the experience at Chatfields. I found their no pressure attitude refreshing. I describe this store as classy and their wedding gowns are unique. Growing tired of the strapless look, I was very happy to see the store had more options than most bridal stores. I was equally impressed with the level of professionalism and charisma of the owner. There are good bridal stores in St. Louis, but I found my wedding dress here. The only con of this shop is that they do not carry bridesmaid dresses. The owner said she wants to expand in 2009. Its a small shop but I encourage other brides to at least put this store on their list. Lisa R A few months ago, I went to many bridal shops and was really dissappointed. Debbie the owner of this super cute store was so nice and professional. She made it all about me. I didn't feel pressured and she let me and my mom take pictures of me in several dresses. I'm having a beach wedding and needed a lite dress. I didn't want a big foo-fooey dress with tons of beads. My mom said the store was in the paper and they have dresses with sleeves and maternity - (which I think is great) but didn't realize she had other dresses. I'm so glad I stopped in there. The dress arrived exactly when she said it would. My tiara was a little pricey but I picked the biggest one,naturally - and its made into a necklace after the wedding. Awesome, just awesome store. Tiffany I am looking for a special gown since this will be my second marriage, but first wedding. I need one that fits with my age, but allows me to enjoy the first-time joy of a beautiful wedding gown. I have been viewing the Chatfields Bridal Boutique website for quite some time because it is easy to use, has great photos of the many different gowns, and there are always new items to see. Last Saturday I visited the boutique and was amazed at the large selection of gowns that would be appropriate for me. More amazing was Debbie, who was magically able to pinpoint two gowns that were perfect for me. The ambiance of the boutique is so pleasant and i felt quite at home. I was there for an hour, but coupld have stayed much longer talking with Debbie about the gowns, jewelry and other unique accessories. I have not purchased a gown, yet but I did buy a veil. it was hand-made and so reasonably priced. The service I received from Debie was so special and I can't wait to go back! Kathy This is a lovely store and the dresses are unique and something you would not find at a run of the mill bridal store. Debbie Welcher is attentive to her clientele's needs and desires. We all want to look perfect on our wedding and feel beautiful no matter what our shape and size. Her dresses are flattering no matter if you are pregnant, plus size or just a normal size 10. If you want an experience to remember then visit this store. Laura C Debbie, Thank you for all of your help and patience with me, my friend and my sister (who were overly opinionated) while I tried on wedding dresses! By far your boutique was one of the BEST experiences I had while dress shopping. I love your personality (the fact that you are the owner and you help people with the dresses - Amazing!) Your shop, the dresses and the no pressure sales! You were honest with me and I felt at ease while trying on ALL the dresses! Although I found a dress at another shop (don't worry it wasn't a chain) I Wanted to let you know I have told many, many, many people about my experience and if anyone is getting engaged we will be coming in! I hope you and your family have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season Julie Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me find a dress fit for a bride. You were so helpful, patient and knowledgeable! We will be back, I know with bridesmaids in tow for more "looksies". You are truly great at what you do and I appreciate having someone like you for advice, expertise and fun. Amy Thanks again for all of your help on making my day special! My husband loved my dress! Laura Debbie, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I simply cannot express my thanks to you for helping me find the perfect gown. You are so sweet. I wish you much success! Liz Ms. Welcher, I wanted to tell you thank you so much for your assistance at your wonderful store! I have now found my bridal gown elsewhere from a lady in my home town, but I just had to tell you waht a refreshing and amazing change of pace your store is from the attitude of the common stores. I sincerely hope you do well. I extend my best wishes in your business endeavor. I will certainly be recommending you to any and all of my friends when they are having weddings. Thanks again so much!
