For more than 70 years, thousands of brides have traveled to Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City to find their wedding day looks. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’ll feel the magic of Kleinfeld. Not only does Kleinfeld have 30,000 square feet filled with the largest selection of wedding dresses in the world, it also has the greatest professional staff of over 200 employees who are dedicated to finding and perfecting your bridal look.
Wedding dress shopping is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting and memorable aspects to wedding planning. Although we may be biased, we believe your bridal appointment should be a moment you cherish as much as your wedding day!
This is why the Kleinfeld team has intentionally curated a wide selection of different bridal appointment types, so you can choose the wedding dress consultation and experience that is best for you!
To ensure you schedule the ideal Kleinfeld wedding dress appointment for you and your guests, we’ve created a brief overview of the main differences between a regular or standard bridal appointment compared to a VIP bridal appointment.
Extended Appointment Time
While our standard bridal gown appointments still present the same level of care and intent to find the perfect dress, the consultation occurs over a 90 minute period.
Our VIP bridal appointments provide an extended appointment time of 3 hours. This allows brides additional time to try on gowns, celebrate with champagne, style the final look from head to toe, take photos, and even have the opportunity to experience a brief, behind-the-scenes tour of our showroom.
Privacy
Our regular bridal appointments take place amongst several different spaces within our large showroom. These viewing areas are randomly assigned to bridal stylists at the beginning of the day and are in constant rotation. While some standard bridal appointments may take place in a private room, they more commonly take place within our main showroom. Throughout this large space, pedestals, couches, and say “yes!” moments may be shared with other brides and their loved ones.
Our VIP bridal appointments guarantee brides and their loved ones a private viewing area, also known as a VIP bridal lounge, where the bride and her guests do not share the space with others. These private rooms are designated for The VIP Luxe Experience and VIP Platinum Experience. These private spaces are equipped with a pedestal, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, ample seating, as well as a table displaying beverages and light bites.
Brides who schedule a VIP Gold Experience or VIP Diamond Experience will be granted the same level of privacy, however, guests will be seated amongst the main showroom. This expansive space, enveloped in a vast array of gorgeous gowns, is equipped with several couches, mirrors, and pedestals and is complete with chandeliers and Instagram-worthy lighting.
Champagne + Light Bites
As for our standard bridal appointments, we kindly ask brides and their guests to refrain from bringing non-clear beverages or outside food into our showroom. We welcome you to enjoy it in our lobby if needed. We are also happy to offer you water upon request. Once you say “yes!” to your dress, we will celebrate with you by bringing you and your loved ones a glass of champagne.
VIP bridal appointments provide brides and their guests with a display of still and sparkling water, light bites, proper dishware, and napkins. Depending on the VIP experience selected, a bottle of champagne will also be provided for all to enjoy throughout the duration of the appointment time.
Additional Guests
For regular bridal appointments, we encourage brides to invite up to 3 friends or family members who will best uplift, support, and celebrate with the bride throughout the wedding dress consultation.
As for VIP bridal appointments, the number of guests we invite you to bring depends on the VIP experience selected:
- The VIP Luxe Experience: up to 4 guests
- The VIP Platinum Experience: up to 4 guests
- The VIP Gold Experience: up to 8 guests
- The VIP Diamond Experience: up to 15 guests
- Private Appointment with Pnina Tornai VIP Experience: up to 15 guests
More Opportunity to Style Your Look from Head to Toe
One of the best parts about scheduling a VIP bridal appointment at Kleinfeld? More opportunity to style the ultimate bridal look from head to toe! Work one-on-one with not only your personal bridal stylist, but also a dedicated accessories stylist, who will complete your vision with a veil, headpiece, and jewelry.
While regular bridal appointments still offer this opportunity, brides who schedule VIP bridal appointments often have more time to fully immerse themselves into the full scope of our beautiful accessories collection.
