I recently got married this past July and I purchased my wedding dress from Beckers's Bridal. I absolutely LOVED my dress, and go figure it was the sales lady who picked the dress out for me, it was the first and only dress I tried on.
The staff at Becker's Bridal is GREAT, they are very helpful, and answer all your questions. The lady who did the alterations to the dress was Wonderful, she did everything I asked and did everything she could to make me happy.
The dress came out just the way I wanted once the alterations had been completed... I couldn't have had a better experience - AND - the price was extremely reasonable.
I didn't get my dress at Becker's but I did spend a few hours there trying dresses on.
Of the stores I went to, Becker's had the best prices, and also had a huge selection of off the rack sale items.
Their website could be improved on. They list the collections they carry, but no links or pictures of actual dresses. I had to do a TON of cross referencing, and then they only had a few of the...

Becker's was the second of five appointments I had at bridal salons, and I ended up returning after all my other appointments to re-try on the dress I ended up choosing. I was the only person with an appointment at that time, so I had great one-on-one attention - this was contrasted by my experiences at some other salons, which felt much more rushed, impersonal or hectic.
My consultant was...

Amazing store & consultants! I walked in without an appointment and was taken care of by an amazing woman named Leigha(sp) I tried on a few dresses but ended up falling in love with an in house dress & purchased it!
Thank you to Beckers Bridal for making what can be an overwhelming experience a great one!
I didn't end up buying my dress here but the saleslady was very helpful.
I had an idea going in as to what I wanted and she did encourage me to try on some different styles, which was helpful. I honesty felt like the appointment (at a little over an hour) flew by! There is a good selection here and they are very friendly! It's worth a try.
Great experience! I was happy from the first phone call to the moment I left the door. Go to Becker's to buy your dress, the team is amazing and very helpful.
This was the 3rd shop out of 4 that I visited. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and had Carol looking after me. I appreciated all her expertise; she had me try on a few different styles to confirm the best look on my body type. She told me what flattered me best, what didn't, and knew right away what dresses I should be trying on. This wasn't insulting, this was truthful and a perspective I... more
Went to an appointment on Saturday evening after being to two other bridal salons. There were so many lovely dresses and options. The consultant was helpful at staying near my budget, and I did not feel rushed.
The styles I tried were all very classic and I was overwhelmed by the quality lace.
Although I went for a different dress at a different salon I would highly recommend this boutique to...

I bought my wedding dress at Becker's Bridals yesterday, and had a great experience. Our sales associate, Eliza, was pleasant and helpful. There was plenty of room for myself and my 4 bridesmaids, and they allowed us to take pictures (as long as we weren't taking photos of the dresses they make on premises). I rated Becker's a 4 because I thought they could have had a larger selection of... more
I recently found and bought my dress from here and I had an amazing experience! I would highly recommend this bridal shop; great service, consultants are very friendly and listen to what you are looking for and really nice atmosphere too.
Dear Brides and Future brides,
If you ever dreamed of the day that you get to try on your first wedding dress, do NOT see Carol at Beckers Bridal on the Danforth.
I had the worst experience of my life. Carol was extremely rude to my family and myself. She yelled at me for taking a dress down to get a better look. The dresses were all squished together and there was no other way to look at them....

I went to Becker's to try on wedding dresses and I was pretty impressed! The staff was very friendly and accommodating and I didn't feel rushed or pressured into purchasing a dress.
The changerooms are large and in my experience, the staff did not come into the changeroom with me.
There is a large selection of dresses, and because my budget is lower I was primarily looking at the sample...

I had my first bridal experience here and it was a fun one. I really had no idea what a bridal salon experience would be like other than what I saw in Bridesmaids, so as long as I didn't poop myself in a couture dress, I'd be happy.
My first observation was that the salon is very clean and tidy. There are dresses hanging along the walls in two separate rooms, and the staff just asked us to...

I had a really nice time trying out dresses here. I went on a Tuesday morning so it wasn't busy at all. I pretty much had the place to myself. The lady that was helping me was really nice and she didn't limit me in anyway. She was also very good it helping me select dresses that was within my budget. They have some really classic dresses that I think many brides would purchase year over year.... more
Go to Becker's if you are shopping for a headache, not a dress!
Becker's was the 3rd shop I went to on a Friday afternoon.
They have a small-medium sized collection of dresses. The dressing rooms and fitting area were comfortable.
Overall, customer service was alright, the sales lady walked through the entire store with me, going through all the styles (took about 10 mins). She introduced me to the San Patrick line which I loved. When I inquired about...

Becker's was the 5th or 6th shop I went to and the place I bought my wedding dress. I found that in most shops, there was at most one dress I liked enough to even consider buying, but Becker's was much more my style! Although there was one dress I ultimately liked more on than anything else I had tried, I found I had a much bigger selection to pick from at Becker's.
I made an appointment for a...

I had so much hope going to my local store!
Unfortunately, the dresses were well out of my price range and they had little to no samples in my size.
My only real criticism of the store is that they didn't have the correct appointment time for me. I had called and confirmed with the girl that my appointment was at 11:30 but for some reason they had be at 1. Luckily they were able to fit me in...

I had a really mixed experience at Becker's. They have some really nice dresses including some from their Canadian designer which are made in Canada. However, its a bit of a zoo in there - really crowded. I found the sales people extremely pushy, just trying to make a sale, and I was extremely offended as a size 10 when my sale person loudly expressed that she needed to go find "the large... more
After a long (enough) search, I finally bought my dress here. I cared more about budget than dress, but didn't want to end up with anything that looked cheap either. I had visited a tonne of sample sales, usually unable to even try samples on - event hough I am not that big (they fit street size 4 & 6 mostly). Discouraged, I went to Becker's and ended up with a very well kept sample in a larger... more
they have pretty spacious location. but the gowns they were carrying seemed to be bit outdated. the sample gowns were incredibly dirtier than the ones in other boutiques. i didnt find anything i like
4 words for my experience at Becker's: PAIN IN THE BUTT!
I was there picking up a dress with my friend, for a friend who lives out of province. They were all smiles when she was purchasing it, and then very, very rude to us when we went to pick it up.
Communication was awful. We were there to inspect the dress and pick it up, it took 45 minutes, 30 of which were spent sitting in their chairs...

Went on a Monday and it was really quiet, so I recommend avoiding the weekend if possible because of the earlier reviews posted that all say it was packed. Our consultant, Linda, paid really great attention to us and helped us find some amazing stuff.
Found an amazing dress, but this is when we ran into a 'hiccup'. I had another appointment to go to that day, but Beckers wouldn't let us take a...

**Written from the perspective of a bridesmaid**
My best friend recently got in engaged back in May. Beckers was our first bridal appointment. I'll start with the good!
I think Beckers is a great place to have a first dress shopping experience. My friend was a little nervous or should I say, apprehensive about dress shopping. Beckers is a friendly environment with a vast selection of gowns....

I just purchased my dream dress from Becker's Bridal on Friday at a dream price, and so yes, I am a fan.
I have plenty of friends/colleagues who had bought dresses at this store so I was due to pay it a visit after I had narrowed down my selection and what I was looking for in a dream dress. The day I was thinking of going to the store coincided with their Sample Sale and so I called to make...

My friends and I wandered in on Sunday afternoon to see if we could do some impromptu dress shopping. Even though we didn't have an appointment, the staff were very accommodating and helpful in giving us a room. (There were other brides there for fittings, not like the place was dead.) Rachel, the consultant who worked with us, was very patient and helpful in answering all our questions about... more
I had a great experience. After going to a dozen bridal stores and finding nothing like I really wanted I was about to settle for the best thing I had found. Than I walk into Becker's to find nearly the exact dress I had been describing on a mannequin and it was around $1500 and the other dress I had almost settled for was $2500. I didn't have an appointment but they fit me in. The sales person... more
I've bought my dress!
I thought I would wait until the end of the dress process to update my review, but doubt much will change.
During my 6 months searching for a dress, I came back here quite a few times and always worked with Mackenzie. I came back for a total of 5 times for different reasons, trying on 1 single dress to see how I feel, and full blown dress picking appointment.

I flew to Toronto last week to look for wedding dresses with my Mom. Living in San Francisco has made it tough for planning our Montreal wedding but luckily I have my Mom to help. I had tried on dresses at two San Francisco bridal places prior to coming into Becker's, so I had a small idea of what I wanted.
We walked in at around 11am and the showroom was empty. We started walking around to...

The third stop on our Danforth Bridal Madness tour, Becker's Bridal Fashions has a few differences from its eastward sister store. First, it's divided into two parts: one side has samples to be tried on and ordered, like the Dress Room, and the other side has off-the-rack options (possibly retired samples?). If you hit it lucky, you can find your dream dress for under $300, or at least under... more
After doing as much internet research as I could stand, I took myself over to Becker's. I went alone. I don't have a lot of family around and figured my friends aren't really that interested in spending hours devoted to me-time. The main shop at Becker's is full of gorgeous designer gowns. Prices average around $1800, but you could find some cheaper or many more expensive. They have an in-house... more
