I went in thinking I wouldn’t find a dress I loved- oh was I wrong! Bella did an amazing job of finding the most beautiful dresses for me to try on. Each dress kept getting better and better. Needless to say I found the dress of my dreams! I HIGHLY recommend you make an appointment to find the perfect dress for your day.

So happy with my experience at Moondance! Everyone in the store is so friendly and helpful. They were accommodating to my group and were helpful through the process. I recommend them to all my newly engaged friends. Thank you Sarah for all your help!

Best bridal store ever! I went to so many and had many not so great experiences of pushing a decision and a sale. They have been so patient and sweet! There was also some bubbly at the appointment!

The most amazing experience and greatest customer service! Sarah was my stylist and was very conscious of making sure I was trying on styles that were in my budget & made me feel beautiful. They called me back quickly when I had questions about my dress and all staff was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Highly recommend for brides!!

The gals at Moondance Bridal were so friendly and made me feel super comfortable during my shopping appointment. I believe Danielle was the one who helped me try on dresses, and Anette helped me check out. I came in a month before my elopement and they quickly helped me find some dresses from my favorite designer. I ended up with the first dress I had tried on, as it was so pretty and unlike any I had seen before. My mom used her seamstress experience to take it down a couple sizes, and added buttons down the back. I felt absolutely beautiful in it and I received so many compliments from friends and family. Im so happy I was able to find my dress here, and would recommend Moondance Bridal to all future brides. They never once made me feel pressured, they mailed me a sweet thank you note afterwards, and they even gifted me the cutest moon-shaped gold earrings with my purchase!

10/10 recommend Moondance! Shelby helped us and she was so so sweet!! I went to LA two weeks prior to my Moondance appt and Shelby just took the wedding dress shopping experience to a new level.I will say whoever answers the phone in there could be a bit more customer centric. Other than that no complaints and work with Shelby :)

Moondance Bridal was one of the best bridal shops ive been to. The attendants are amazing to work with, they are so kind and really helped me to narrow down my dress look since I had no idea what I wanted when I walked in. I highly recommend Moondance to anyone looking for a wedding dress in the SLO area!

Dress shopping at Moondance Bridal was such an amazing experience! The dresses are gorgeous, the staff was incredibly helpful (especially since I didn’t really know what I wanted), and they made the whole experience incredible fun and special!

I loved my experience here. The atmosphere felt trendy and there was lots of natural light. The stylist, Courtney, was minful of my style and listened to all my feedback. We started the appointment with a little Champange while the stylsit asked about my wedding plans thus far. She even offered to reach out to the designer to cutomize my dress. I felt important and heard.

UPDATE: The owner made contact and was so lovely and apologetic for Olivias disrespectful behavior to me and my guests. I completely admire the way the owner handled the situation, and I see that this is not what the shop stands for. Therefore, I have updated my 1-star review. Though its left me feeling skeptical about wedding gown shopping now, I do not hold Moondance Bridal responsible for Olivias unfavorable treatment. The Moondance Bridal shop is beautiful with so many different gown options. I wish we had a different selling associate, which couldve made for a wonderful experience that I had wished for. I just hope no other bride has to go through what I did and have her special moment overshadowed and stripped away from her by such degrading treatment.Let me start by saying, I NEVER write reviews, but I owe this to warn other potential customers who are helped by Olivia. Having come from a customer service background, I must say Im very disappointed in Olivias lack of professionalism. She provided great assistance in the beginning, but completely changed her demeanor once I stated I wanted to walk away and think about it overnight about the $3,000 investment I was about to make. She made extremely rude remarks, WOW. Go ahead and go research it. I even poured you champagne and took your measurements, so I thought you were going to buy it! WOW! Then was completely dismissive to me and my guests. Correction: I said, I think it may be the dress, not that I was ready to buy it on the spot. I was inclined to go home and think about it overnight as I had looked at two different dresses and couldnt choose, then go back NEXT DAY to order a dress. I preferred to pay cash anyway, which I didnt have on me at the appointment. And clearly, after reading other Yelp reviews on here, customers ARE allowed to walk away and go back to purchase their dress or at least with other associates we can do so. Because of Olivias treatment, I will now sacrifice the dress I wanted to go elsewhere because I will not give money to someone who was flat out disrespectful. And after looking through other reviews on here (i.e. Brittney R.), looks like Im not the only one that this has happened to. I just know for my business, I would NOT employ an associate that treated people that way. Customer service is everything!

I cant even begin to describe what an amazing experience I had at Moondance. Haley, my stylist, was SO helpful and understood exactly what I was looking for. The aesthetic is warm, light, beautiful and calming. I felt like a princess and ended up getting the gown of my dreams. 10/10 would recommend.

Wow, what an awesome shop this is!! This was the first shop I went to, and I know I found the dress for me (even though Im still deciding between 2 option - I truly love them both)!! Olivia was awesome and such a big help in finding what kind of dress is right for me. She showed me a variety of options, and made sure I wasnt trying on things that I didnt like. I also was able to have some friends watch from outside (the limit was 2 guests inside due to COVID). It was such a great experience - I would highly recommend!

Amazing amazing amazing! I cant say enough about Moondance and the lovely ladies who work there! Everyone was friendly and kind and super helpful. Hailey was my stylist (is that the right title?) and after chatting with her for a few moments, she had my style down to a T! I adored the first dress she brought over and each one after that, falling in love with the third. She worked some impressive magic, bringing over not only beautiful, unique dresses, but ones in my price range! I am still flabbergasted by how great not only the dresses were, but the experience as a whole and the how genuine everyone was. 10/10 for Moondance and 10/10 for Hailey!

The girls at Moondance were amazing! Super sweet and helpful. By far the best dress shopping experience in the area. I tried on dresses at a few other places and didn’t end up getting dress at Moondance, but the girls were still nice enough to help with alteration and jewelry recommendations. Can’t recommend them enough :)

This is the first time Ive ever written a Google review...I had to share the incredible experience we had at Moondance Bridal. My mom, sister and I drove up from Santa Barbara looking for a specific dress. We had no idea wed arrive in such a beautiful boutique. We were greeted warmly and served champagne. Suzanne assisted us and was so friendly, inquisitive and patient. She really understood my personality and style even though shed only just met me. I soon discovered I wasnt a big fan of what I originally thought I wanted. Suzanne listened and observed closely, bringing in gowns I never would have selected. She was objective yet encouraging and in the end, it was between 3 dresses, all stunning. I ended up choosing an Emmy Mae Bridal dress and its absolutely stunning...so unique and just perfect for a garden wedding. The other ladies in the shop were so sweet and complimentary. The shop was feminine, pretty, bright, airy and immaculate with a stellar collection of bohemian, chic dresses, They had an adorable selfie set up and gave me a little gift bag before we left. Moondance Bridal truly went above and beyond. Im relaxed and just not into all of the wedding hoopla. I hate feeling spoiled and I never thought Id be interested in wedding gown shopping but I have to say...I loved it and Ill remember it as a highlight of my pre wedding journey. Thank you Suzanne and Moondance Bridal!

Being a local wedding planner and a BRIDE TO BE, I had the most INCREDIBLE experience at Moon Dance Bridal finding my dream wedding dress. From the beginning stages of booking my appointment, to the attentiveness and knowledge my stylist provided, to trying on dresses and everything in between- the entire experience was exciting, smooth and everything I dreamed of and MORE! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the ladies at Moon Dance Bridal for creating the magic I felt and still feel today, as I said YES TO THE DRESS!

This boutique carries the trendy designers seen on Instagram and in magazines. Their stock is pretty diverse and for the younger trendy bride. They do not offer in store alterations so that part is a bummer.

Review №28

The absolute BEST bridal shop out there. The shop is simply beautiful and their dress selection is incredible. Best of all - the entire staff is so sweet, so fun, and the owner, Danielle, is a one of a kinda human. They make you feel so special, are so attentive, and so patient, all while making sure you have the time of your life.Danielle was so beyond accommodating and understanding during several moments of second guessing and indecision and I cant thank her enough for her kindness in those important moments. She truly made sure I got the dress of my dreams.I visited them from Santa Barbara (twice) before officially choosing the one and would do it a thousand times over. Definitely make visiting Moondance a priority no matter where you are from. You will not regret it.Thank you Moondance for hands down the best customer service experience Ive ever had - from anywhere, ever!

I came in with zero expectations and with the mindset that I may not find the one that day and that would be alright. Olivia was incredibly sweet and hospitable and after just a few questions, nailed my style. I didnt really even know what I wanted! After trying on the 4th dress, I knew it was the one. No need to try on another. I said YES to the dress! Tears and smiles and one of the most memorable experiences of this chapter of my life. Everyone was so nice and made me feel like a million bucks! I loved everything about this place! My budget was respected, considered and I was even able to purchase a vail & earrings for UNDER my budget. I couldnt be happier.

Moondance Bridal made my dress shopping experience so amazing! They were very kind, patient, accommodating, and made sure that none of the process was overwhelming! I didnt know exactly what I wanted and they were able to help me find the perfect dress for my body. My whole group and I had such a blast here and were so grateful to be here for the dress shopping experience. Every single lady who works here is a dream to work with and I could not have been happier! Thanks so much Moondance!

I found my dream dress at Moondance Bridal!! I had the best time trying on dresses here! Moondance is in the cutest building and their shop is so cute! The staff was SO nice! They make you feel really comfortable while trying on dresses. They have a big variety of beautiful dresses. They were willing to split some costs because I needed to express my dress to receive it in time. I thought that was so sweet of them! Everything was super clean and everyone was wearing masks. I was overall so impressed with this bridal shop! I definitely recommend you come to this bridal shop before any in SLO County!

The gals at Moondance really roll out the red carpet for brides and their tribes! The appointments are such personalized experiences, the teams first goal is to get to know the client (and her friends and family) on the most genuine level. From the little touches like champagne, to changing the music in the showroom to fit my vibe and interests, I literally felt like a princess. Nicole made the experience so fun for me and my gals, and I am so glad that I chose Moondance over a more commercialized store to shop for my gorgeous dress!

Moondance Bridal, hands down, deserves more than five stars for this review. Last week my partner and I drove several hours to San Luis Obispo for my very first bridal dress fitting at this boutique, and couldnt have felt more taken care than we had at Moondance. Annette and her daughter Sophie really took the time to connect with us and personally guided me through every dress that was on point with my aesthetic and price range. The whole experience was well - paced and very comfortable. I never felt as though I didnt have enough time with eachdeach in order to narrow my selection and was given honest and unbiased feedback that allowed me to reach a natural decision on my dream dress.Moondance has an impressive selection of curated designer dresses that are stunning and unique, and all within a reasonable price range. If you are considering visiting Moondance, I urge you to follow your heart and make an appointment! With all the stress of wedding planning, coming to Moondance and embarking on the dress search felt effortless, uncomplicated and got us even more excited for our wedding day. The staff at Moondance created such a special and personal experience, that will always be a memory I cherish.Thank you Moondance 🌙✨

My first bridal appointment could not have been better. Moondance was my first choice and I’m so happy it was.

It truly was the best day ever.

Had the pleasure of meeting with owner Annette and her fabulous team over at Moondance. Aside from the fact the salon is darling and beautifully decorated they have an exquisite and unique collection of designers. Id been to several shops prior and was extremely impressed with the variety provided. They have a style for every bride from black tie to backyard wedding looks. The best part of my experience was the kindness and warmth of Annette and the Moondance team. They made me feel right at home and could not have been more genuine and upbeat. Made the session so fun and took the pressure off that comes with such a tough decision. Highly recommend and will be singing their praises to future brides!

I found my wedding dress here this weekend and loved the experience. The shop was beautiful and the customer service was excellent. They didnt rush me or limit the number of gowns I tried on. Tawny and Danielle were so kind and made me feel special from the moment I walked in. They spent 90+ minutes helping me and giving a lot of personal attention. After I ordered the dress they sent me home with a cute goody bag.I loved the selection of designers and gowns because Im not a fan of the more traditional dresses. The dresses here were more bohemian, romantic and minimalist. It was great to be in a shop where I didnt have to push past racks of poofy princess gowns to find the more modern, laid back styles I was looking for. The shop also has beautiful bridal accessories! I would definitely recommend this shop to any free-spirited bride looking for something unique and laid back.

This place was magical! I visited twice and bought my dress the second time. The staff was incredibly welcoming, helpful, patient, and kind. They kept every style idea I had in mind when pulling dresses for me (and within my budget). Annette, Tawnya, and Suzanne were all wonderful on my visit! They were so accommodating, as I had many people attending with me. This was the most wonderful experience I have had especially compared to other places. I loved the gift bag and photobooth after I had purchased the dress of my dreams!

My first time trying on dresses was AMAZING! The girls at Moondance are super helpful, sweet, and patient.

Moondance was more than amazing to me ! I had a custom dress made with a place in LA and over the last few months alterations had really made some serious errors to my dress. So I went into moondance 6 weeks before my wedding in a panic looking for a new dress.. and walked out with my dream dress that they bent over backwards to make sure I could have ! Every single person is incredibly sweet and kind and made me have the BEST experience... and they have gorgeous dresses too of course ! Highly recommend!!! I honestly can’t thank them enough for what they did for me!

I don’t even know where to begin. Moondance exceeded all expectations & then some. After going to over eight different bridal shops looking for my dress, I finally decided to buckle up and drive 4+ hours to San Luis Obispo to visit Moondance & it was the best decision ever. To be honest, as soon as I opened the door to their boutique I told my mom “I have a really good feeling about today!” The ambiance & decor here is amazing. I worked with Suzanne and Danielle and they are both the sweetest, kindest, most knowledge ladies! I found my dream dress here & what an amazing celebration it was. I can’t imagine the moment feeling any more special than they made it for me. I cannot wait to go back & visit the store & the girls when I pick up my dress. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you Moondance, you guys are so so wonderful!

Moondance was the first bridal shop I visited and it truly set the bar high. I could not have imagined a better experience while searching for the perfect dress! Scheduling an appointment was simple and straight-forward. Amira handed me a glass of champagne upon arrival and she was super helpful in guiding me to pick out and try on dresses. About 10 dresses later, I found the one! They worked with my timeline and impressed me with their customer service. Stripping down and trying on dresses can be very vulnerable, but everyone at the store made me feel confident and beautiful with just the right amount of guidance and input. I recommend this shop to all the brides-to-be I talk to!

Well, being the Dad of the bride to be I wasn’t there. However when my wife told me of their experience, I had to write an absolute glowing review.

Well done Moondance, you have made my family very happy.

Just found my dress here! As soon as I walked in I knew I was going to find the one, the vibe is very cool and they have a lot of great styles for the more boho/free spirit type brides (and a few more traditional too). All of the dresses I tried on were beautiful, the space was bright, clean, and welcoming. The consultants were so sweet and helpful, they really knew what they were doing and made some awesome suggestions too! If you’re looking for a wedding dress in the Central Coast area, you haaaaaave yo make Moondance Bridal your first stop.

There are so many positive memories I have regarding my experiences with Moondance Bridal and their excellent staff in San Luis Obispo. I was so pleased with every aspect of each of my visits I wanted to shout it off the rooftops and tell everyone I knew all about it!When I made my appointment, I had the unfortunate mishap of doing so in the midst of a family emergency, so while I never in my life imagined having to try on wedding dresses without my mother (my best friend in life), I had to do it on this day. I have to say though, even with all that, Annette at Moodance Bridal truly made this experience easy and exciting for me.During my appointment, I was given the 411 on how it works, you give insight on what you’re looking for, together you will select around 10 dresses and away you will go to try each of them with the assistance of the women you booked your appointment with; in my case Annette.While selecting the dresses, expect to heard, they will inquire about your style, listen and in return, offer options they thing think might make a statement which represents you best based on what you’ve given them. So be honest! They will encourage you to tell them “heck yes”, and even “heck no” when they present options that do or don’t excite you. I can assure you, each of them will take a genuine interest in you, as a person, not just a buyer or customer to make sure your experience goes as well as mine.Everyone I worked with was personable, easy going and really kind. Not only did I feel heard, but my requests were respected. When I stated my budget and later showed interest in a dress which may have jumped outside of my budget, they were up front about cost and allowed me to make the call of whether to try it on, leave it out, or think it over and circle back, without any pressure.There was no time in which I felt pushed in any way to hurry based on time, nor did I ever feel pressured to purchase anything before leaving. Its a tough decision, and they want it to be the right decision just like you do. In my experience, the women at Moondance Bridal went above and beyond taking pictures for me to share with my mom who was unable to make it that day and give advice on accessories as well as multiple perspectives to help me get closer to selecting my “top-2”!So finally, and most sincerely, thank you so much to everyone at Moondance Bridal for all of the efforts and dedication throughout the process. Special thanks of course to Annette and Susan as well, I won’t forget my experience here and will always recommend Moondance Bridal.
