Cary helped me find the perfect dress for me. It was the first dress I tried on! Then, the next day, we went back Cary helped me choose the perfect veil! At the time, we had not yet chosen a date, but it all worked out perfectly!

When I got my dress, the shop was changing ownership, and with that change, there are always struggles, but the girls were so nice and always did their best to remember my name, which made the whole experience so personal. They definitely help make the experience special and make you feel so beautiful

Katelyn Quillman

I had the best experience working with Gia. I went to Gia on a whim, and they accommodated me as a walk-in. When I walked in, the first gown that caught my eye was on a mannequin next to the front counter. It was the first dress I saw, the last one I tried on, and the only one I truly felt like a bride in—it seemed like fate.


The team at Gia was simply wonderful to work with. Erin was an amazing bridal consultant, and she was the one who paired the absolute perfect veil with my gown. I’m still swooning over the entire look! And Martina was so great to work with and accommodated all my requests.
I could not recommend Gia Bridal Formal more for all of your bridal and formal needs—they’re simply the best!

Brianna Romanchik

I had a great experience at Gia Bridal. I purchased my gown and veil under the old ownership, but from then to getting my fittings done, it has been a stress-free experience because of Gia Bridal. My consultant when I Said Yes to the Dress was Erin, and she was amazing and helped me find the perfect dress and veil! Martina made my fittings so easy and stress-free, and she’s the sweetest lady! I’m so happy I chose Gia Bridal for my wedding dress!

Krista Hersch

It was amazing that they were able to get my dress in and altered in such a short amount of time since we were on a time crunch. Everyone was wonderful at making this dress look perfect for our special occasion.

Kya Zawaski

I had an amazing experience with Gia Bridal. From the second I walked in the door and showed my stylist the vision I had, she started showing me dresses exactly like my pictures. She also had me try on dresses that had some different elements outside of what I thought I wanted, and it ended up being exactly what I wanted.

GraceMae Reis

Everyone at Gia was super helpful when looking for a wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. Alterations were also done in a timely manner (quite a quick turnaround time, honestly)

Shopping for my wedding dress at Gia’s Bridal was an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, their team made me feel so special, taking the time to understand my vision and offering expert advice. The moment I tried on the dress, I just knew—it was everything I’d dreamed of for my OBX beach wedding. The staff’s warmth and attention to detail made the process so easy and unforgettable. I couldn’t recommend Gia’s Bridal more for finding your perfect dress!

I absolutely loved my experience here at Gia. From accommodating an early appointment so my mom and sister could be with me to making sure the dress fit me perfectly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Karina Tramont

Cary was so welcoming and encouraged me to try a dress I would've never thought of trying. I immediately fell in love, and tears were shed. Everyone made the process so easy, and the alterations were perfect!

Kristina Freeman

My experiment at Gia’s was wonderful- I felt very comfortable in their atmosphere, and everyone was very nice and approachable. They made sure my experience was everything I’d hope it would be and ensured I left feeling confident and happy

Sofia Mabry

The look I was going for was a BIG, poofy, sparkly princess dress - and that’s exactly what Gia helped me achieve. I felt like a princess in my wedding day. From the dress to the veil to the hairpiece, everything was coordinated perfectly! I can’t thank them enough for bringing my bridal vision to life!

Amanda Horan

I absolutely loved every part of my wedding dress shopping experience at Gia Bridal and Formal! From the moment I called to schedule my appointment, I was greeted so kindly and made to feel welcome. Carrie helped me during my first wedding dress try-on appointment and was incredible. She made sure my family and friends had a private space to watch me try on dresses and guided me so thoughtfully through the entire process.

 

I tried on many dresses, but there was one I kept coming back to. While it wasn’t everyone’s favorite, it was my favorite. It felt so much like me. While many of my family members loved sparkly, detail-filled gowns, I gravitated toward something simpler. My dress had just the right amount of detail, and I felt completely myself wearing it.

 

Gia’s was so accommodating, letting me come back multiple times to try on the dress before I officially said yes, even after my hair and makeup trial. When it came time for alterations, their seamstress, Martina, was polite, professional, and made the dress fit perfectly.

 

I can’t say enough good things about Gia Bridal and Formal, and I’m so grateful they were part of my wedding journey. They truly made finding the perfect dress a magical experience!

Abigail Urban

Absolutely amazing, the staff there is amazing and so nice and kind, would definitely recommend them to people

Kali Westlund

My first impression of Gia's came when I walked in on my first day without an appointment, and Lindsay still helped me! I knew you all really cared about me as a person and not just about making a sale. Everyone was so incredibly nice and helpful. Martina also didn't let me down when she told me I could go strapless and she would be sure my dress would stay up! Every time I walked into Gia's, I felt so welcome, like I was a family member. I'm so glad I found my dream dress here.

Kaitlyn Yeakley

I got my dress from Gia’s, and it was absolutely perfect. I will definitely refer my future bridal friends and/ or family. It has been such a lovely experience working with all of your staff! The dress that I ended up buying was one that Carrie had picked. It was perfect. I got so many compliments on my dress.

Sadie Thompson

My shopping experience at Gia bridal was easy and fast. I’d found my dress two dresses in and it was actually something I didn’t want (strapless). It was just the amount of detail yet matched the plain style I was looking for at the same time. Fittings with Martina were perfect. Thanks for everything!

Kaila Pierce

All of the ladies at Gia were absolutely amazing!!!! From finding a dress to the fittings to picking it up all steamed and ready to go. I would recommend the lovely ladies to anyone!!

Savannah Behm

I absolutely loved my experience here at Gia. From accommodating an early appointment so my mom and sister could be with me to making sure the dress fit me perfectly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Karina Hawkins

After having a bad experience at another bridal shop, I was hesitant to make an appointment as a plus-sized bride. Im so glad I did! I loved the wide selection of dresses that actually fit me, so I could get a better idea of what I was looking for. After picking my dress, I was able to come in as many times as I wanted to re try my dress on! When I was second-guessing myself, I was met with kindness, patience, and options!! Im so thankful for the love I recieved, and I recommend everyone I know your way!

Noell Mcnulty

Gia Bridal & Formal made this once-in-a-lifetime experience something to remember- from the day I walked through the doors to find my dress, up until the day of our wedding, they were genuine and personable and made sure every last detail was ready for my big day. I am so grateful to have gone through them to find my perfect dress!

Jada Kravetz

The team at Gia’s was incredibly helpful throughout my wedding dress experience. Ali listened closely to my preferences and pulled dresses that matched my vision perfectly. Martina is a wonderful seamstress; she did flawless alterations on both my bridal shower dress and my wedding dress, all within a short turnaround time. Everyone at Gia’s is so kind and welcoming, and I truly had the best time finding my wedding dress and veil with them. Thank you for everything!

Mallory Ebert

We had the best experience! We showed up with seven girls and no appointment. All hoping to find Fall Ball formal dresses. The staff of dress experts were so kind and accommodating! The girls must’ve tried on over 50 dresses because the selection of dresses were overwhelmingly stunning. This dress shop will definitely be our go to place for our future events!

Working with the women at Gia was a wonderful experience! They perfectly accommodated myself and my guests, and Ali listened to every opinion & vision I had for my wedding dress. She made the experience comfortable and fun, and was just as happy that I found my gown as I was! The personalized note that I received following my appointment was sweet and made me feel secure in the choice I made when shopping at Gia Bridal & Formal!

Madeline Coccio

I took my wife in a state of desperation to find a dress to wear to our daughters wedding in Seattle. My wife almost gave up hope. They went through the racks and pulled gowns out of the back storage and lo and behold a dress was found! But four size's too big. Then enters Miss Martina, their tailor, who altered and fitted the dress to perfection. This was done in three days in time for us to fly out to Seattle. My wife received so many compliments on this dress and I highly recommend this shop to all. Thank you Gia.

Absolutely fantastic! Rented a tux for my son who happens to be in a wheelchair. Lindsay was amazing with him and took special considerations because of his disability. She put us at ease and made sure everything fit perfectly for prom. Highly recommended!

Beth Coleman

My mom and I went up to Special Moments to try on my dream dress and we couldn't of been happier! Not only did I say yes to my dress but my mom also found one for her to wear for the wedding day as well. They have great selections for all occasions, and are very affordable. Julie and the rest of the staff were so great, helpful, and attentive. They made the whole experience fun and enjoyable! I can't wait to go back and look at bridesmaids dresses, bridal accessories, and of course for my dress fittings! We definitely recommend Special Moments for your wedding, prom, or special occasion needs!!!!!!!

I am definitely a more plus size than not. So I was worried how my experience would be when I went. Well .... I’m here to tell you I had so much fun with my family and friends and with the staff at Special Moments. Lori made every dress feel beautiful and really worked to get to know me and my style and my family too. I felt comfortable, and felt appreciated as a customer. Everyone in the store was wonderful and very nice to me. I did find my perfect dress! They have dress for every shape and size. And every style too!! If you are in PA or even looking to travel to an awesome store. This one is it!! I’d recommend it a million times over!!!! I’m so excited that I chose to go here. You won’t be disappointed I promise.
