“From the first phone call with Amanda’s Touch, I knew this was where I would find my wedding dress! Amanda and her team were so friendly! They asked many questions about my big day. I also was contacted by my personal stylist who asked me even more questions in order to find the perfect dress for me! I had tried on dresses at two other shops. I tried on a few dresses at Amanda’s Touch before finding the one I loved! My stylist even helped me customize the dress to make it more my own! I loved having one-on-one attention and service! I would definitely recommend Amanda’s Touch to anyone looking to find their dress!!”
