On 9/24/2026 maria zamora had this to say:
Celia was so helpful throughout the process of getting everything ready for my daughter’s quinceañera! Even though we ordered her dress elsewhere, she took the time to help us with measurements and made sure we had what we needed. We rented the petticoat (crinolina) from her and purchased a crown, the bear, pillow and Bible. The crinolina made such a difference and helped the dress look absolutely beautiful! Her boutique has so much to offer and many of our friends and family also found their dresses there for our quinceañera. I truly appreciate Celia’s kindness, patience, and willingness to help. Thank you for being part of my daughter’s special day! 🧡🧡🧡

Celia was so sweet and her customer service was amazing. Her knowledge of dresses and attention to detail was top tier. I wasn’t able to order a dress last minute but her catalog of all occasion dresses was beautiful. Prices are more than generous to the public and my family will be returning to order a dress in the future.

This boutique is just amazing all around, they have everything you could possible need for anykind of event, I ordered a dress for a wedding from the catalog and it arrived earlier than expected, so many catalogs to order from if you cant find the right one in the store. The dress was just perfect for my event… celia’s boutiqur also offers dance (bachata and salsa) classes on Wednesday evenings, i have attended these classes and they are amazing, for someone who has 2 left feet i can now say i can dance! Extremely reasonable price and just fun all together. This store is simple amazing, friendly customer service and if they dont have it in the store they will custom order your dress to perfection. Love this place 100% recommended for everyone to come by!
