Had the best experience at Marina Morrison in SF, not only because they have the most beautiful dresses but because of the service! Sammie is one of a kind! She made my whole experience so special and wonderful! I wouldn't trade it for the world, it was everything I had ever dreamed of and I got to have friends and family with me. I would recommend anyone just to go and have Sammie help you! She is the best and is there for you!

We absolutely loved our experience with Samantha at Marina Morrison. The gowns are one of a kind and Samantha is the most gracious and helpful associate to work with in the industry. She is excellent at what she does and made the process enjoyable, exciting, and stress free. She is an excellent listener and can read her brides like I've never seen. We will be back for my sister soon!

I had a wonderful experience at Marina Morrison, where I purchased a beautiful Carolina Herrera wedding dress and veil on my first visit. The service and selection was exceptional. I would highly recommend Marina Morrison as your wedding dress destination!

This was the third store I went to (after Bridal Galleria and jin wang), and I bought my dress here! It's a beautiful space with a very large selection and a lot of variety. They had a ton of gorgeous Carolina Herrera, Mira Zillwinger, and Reem Acra dresses and a handful of other brands (including more affordable options and a couple lesser known brands).

I went in conflicted about a few styles, and the stylist helping me was very good at helping me sort through that and feel 100% certain that the dress I purchased was the one. Plus, I feel like I won the wedding dress lottery because my favorite happened to be on sale as a sample in my size!

My fiancee had the greatest experience here at Marina Morrison! They have so many gowns to choose from and their service was impeccable! My fiancee found her gown here and would definitely recommend this bridal salon to all of her friends.

After several more calls from me, and one from my fiance, and posting the previous review, the gals at Marina Morrison came through and allowed me order the other Carolina Herrera dress I loved in lieu of the one I did not want. I deeply appreciate them reconsidering their hard line stance, and I now can't wait to receive my beautiful (not all-white, unknown by my fiance) dress!

I bought my wedding dress from Marina Morrison in February 2018 and it was by far the biggest mistake I made in the entire wedding process! Truly this company, both Maribel who is the store manager and the owner Rick Wee, were absolutely horrible to deal with. They do not stand behind the products they sell or the representations about quality made by sales associates.

Be very careful before you do business with this store. Read every single fabric tag, every single detail on your receipt, etc. I was a stickler on one point relating to my wedding dress- it had to be made of natural fabrics (i.e. silk) and not synthetic (i.e. polyester). I thought I had lucked out when I found a sales associate at Marina Morrison who happily agreed, even going as far as to say "no one should be married in polyester on their wedding day".

I tried on a ton of dresses and eventually settled on a Lihi Hod skirt and top. I specifically asked the sales associate, even though it seemed like a stupid question given the total of my order was north of $6,000, to confirm the skirt's fabric content. She confirmed that of course the skirt was made of 100% silk. I checked the top's tag and noticed it had some synthetic fabric in it, which I was told had to do with the bodysuit portion of the top you can't see (basically underwear).

This is where I made my biggest mistake. I trusted the sales associate and never check the skirt's fabric content tag. I happily signed the paperwork with all sorts of releases of liability on it. I told myself this must be included because finicky brides probably order dresses and try to cancel them all the time; not something I planned on doing so no problem.

I picked the dress up a few months later. I took the skirt and top to my tailor, who was also well aware of my feelings about synthetic fabrics. She informed me immediately upon touching the skirt there was no way the lining was silk and she suspected the outer to be a silk/rayon blend. I was at first stunned, then just totally burst into tears. I wasn't sure who ripped me off- Marina Morrison of Lihi Hod.

I thought it could be possible Marina Morrison had no idea the standards at Lihi Hod had dropped and was sure once I told them they'd fix the problem. Not only did Marina Morrison not fix the problem, they immediately referenced their "No Refund" policy and told me the associate who had helped me pick out my dress had also left the company so there was no way they could verify her claims or help me in any way.

I was totally shocked by their behavior and complete lack of empathy for a problem with a product I bought from their store! I referenced my contract immediately and realized they had written "Crepe" in as the fabric content of the skirt. Crepe is not a type of fabric, it is a type of weave. I hadn't caught this when I signed my receipt. I don't work in fashion and I'm not used to parsing through the details of fabrics and weaves.

It was only at this point that I realized why Marina Morrison has such a lengthy release of liability; it has nothing to do with finicky brides and everything to do with poor quality standards and customer service they have no intention of backing up.

While the shop is beautiful, Nora is a gem. She walked me through the entire process, offered nothing but encouragement and support, and I almost (almost) forgot I was nearly naked in front of her. All dresses were incredibly gorgeous and I highly recommend visiting in your dress search. I'm sure the other staff is wonderful too, but my sincere thanks to Nora for going above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable. (Also, there was zero pressure to purchase) Nora you're a boss!

I went to Marina Morrison for my very first time trying on wedding dresses and it couldn't have been better. Kate, was an absolute gem and listened very closely to what I wanted. I told her I was open to different styles and she chose some other great silhouettes for my figure. I wish I could try on wedding gowns all day : Thank you!

I went here in a whim during a sample sale and walked out with my wedding dress! Very nice boutique, but not stuffy. Amber helped me and was lovely. The only thing I didn't realize is that I bought the dress a size too small and it would need significant alterations to fit. I knew some alterations were normal but it turned out I needed another 1.5 inches added to the waist. Enter: Nora Chavez.

She works under the company Synergy Apparel and she is a miracle worker. She's incredibly talented and very fairly priced. She is honest and overall a wonderful person to work with, she even tailored my bustier. Highly recommend.

I had such a great experience here and want to thank Maribel for working through the pros and cons of each dress with me and ultimately helping me make my final decision on a dress that was absolutely beautiful. Thank you again!

I absolutely loved working with everyone at Marina Morrison. Right when I met Amber(the woman who helped me) we clicked immediately which was super helpful for picking out my wedding dress. She not only made it fun but was extremely professional, walking me through all the steps in the buying process, the follow ups, etc. Once my dress came in I loved playing dress up with all of the accessories and jewelry that they have onsite! Highly recommend these guys for anyone who is shopping for their wedding dress! Pix attached in Mira Zwillinger dress and some with head piece (from MM).

I've had a very positive experience at Marina Morrison, especially because of Amber. They fit me in for an appointment during their Lihi Hod trunk show (highly recommend you make an appointment during trunk show of your coveted designer for best selection). Amber assisted me in trying on approximately 10 Lihi Hod dresses. The other designers' selection offered was plentiful and gorgeous but I had my mind set on 1 designer that I felt embodied my personal style.

I chose to go alone so I wasn't influenced by opinions but it was good to have Amber there - she was sweet, honest, and patient and helped me FaceTime with my mother. After choosing what I thought was my dress and about to wrap up payment etc I remembered a particular design that I had seen online but hadn't tried on yet. Amber was gracious to have me try it even though they were about to close on a Saturday evening (I don't like being that person who prolongs the work day of others!).

Her advice was to go with the dress that felt like me. And this Lihi Hod dress ended up being my chosen dress. I came in shortly after for measurements and Amber helped to communicate sleeve modifications to the designer. The dress came in a month early and it's even more lovely than I could ever imagine (just some minimal taking in/shortening of length needed).

All of the several women I have met at Marina Morrison are incredibly knowledgeable, fashionable, and they are kind and personable to match. Down-to-earth brides: go to Marina Morrison and see Amber! I'll post a photo in September.

This is the one of the most elegant, highest end boutiques you'll visit in SF. Ikue, one of their specialists, will take care of you. She was polite and knowledgable and is easily reachable via email for those of you busy working news like me. I was recently here during the Oscar de la Renta trunk show and every dress was irresistible. The store carries Carolina Herrera bridal gowns as well. Boutique is located above Gumps in Maiden Lane. Hardly any parking downtown so I recommend uber or lyft. Don't be late!

I went through 4 bridal suites until I found Marina Morrison. My older cousins bought their wedding dresses here and they kept raving about their service and dresses. Finally, I came in and fell in love! First, their dresses are a dream. You feel like you are walking on a cloud when you browse through their dresses. The lighting in their showroom hits every angle of each dress just the right way.

Once I booked my appointment, I had the pleasure to work with Amber and Hilda. They are both so professional, personable and down-to earth. They truly made me feel like a queen. Upon meeting Amber, I already felt like she was family. She was keen to my wants and needs and did not push me to buy over my budget. Hilda knows ever detail of each dress and knows how to accommodate to my petite body type.

She is a perfectionist-which every bride needs when finding the right dress. Moreover, our seamtress was also AMAZING. She worked well with my body and in doing so, my dress fit like a glove. She was my auntie by the end of my experience. I am going to miss my appointments at Marina Morrison. If you want impeccable service and a beautiful dress. this is the place!

The wedding dress that I bought from Marina Morrison was absolutely perfect. Savinie was amazing and literally found my dress for me. I came into the shop wanting a specific Oscar de la Renta gown that I had seen in pictures, but when I tried it on, it wasn't right for me. I tried on a few more beautiful dresses (the shop has a fabulous selection!), but again, none of them were quite right for me.

A few weeks later, Savinie emailed me out of the blue about an Austin Scarlett gown that they had just received. She sent me pictures of the dress and said she immediately thought of me when she saw the dress. The dress was the perfect combination of everything I was looking for: elegant yet fun, sleek and flattering on my body type, and with an architectural element that I wanted. Savinie was fabulous to work with throughout the whole process (finding the dress + alterations) and knew exactly how to create the perfect look/fit.

I am extremely picky and had unsuccessfully tried on 30+ wedding dresses at numerous boutiques prior to meeting Savinie. It is entirely thanks to Savinie that I found my perfect wedding dress. Thank you, Savinie! Additionally, every visit to Marina Morrison was absolutely lovely -- it is filled with gorgeous dresses, tons of natural light, and a big beautiful mirrored area. Highly recommend.

I am picking up my wedding dress next week and everything has gone off without a hitch! the store is lovely and they only carry a select number of designers, but the ones they carry have amazing dresses. I went to this store because i found out the designer i had been obsessing over (Lihi Hod) was only sold here and one other place on the west coast. needless to say, I found my perfect dress!

Just did the final fitting and am in love! The staff is wonderful and helpful with scheduling appointments/fittings that work for you. i totally recommend Marina Morrison to anyone who asks about my dress-it's really a special little place!

If this salon has the dress you are looking for, make sure you do your due diligence on the pricing of that dress elsewhere! I came here for an appointment after I went to Bridal Galleria. Perhaps BG set the bar too high, but I thought my MM 'consultant' was 10% as good as the one I had at BG. She had me putting on and hanging up my dresses and didn't remember a few of the gowns I requested as we walked through the store.

She also had an attitude and was snobby. MOST IMPORTANTLY, the Mira Zwillinger dress I liked at Marina Morrison was $1400 MORE than it was at the Saks in Beverly Hills. There is no way I would have known this except that I wanted to look at more salons in LA. After this discovery, I have heard from multiple people that this is common practice at Marina Morrison. Unless you are ok wasting $1K or more--AVOID.
