Paris Wedding Center

Very friendly staff, nice ambiance, have a lot of options and offers. They give a lot of packages to choose from and photo displays look good too

I have to say my whole experience at this Pairs Wedding Center located on East Broadway was a _​_​_​_​! You can judge whether this wedding shop is worth it to choose. First of all, before we signed the contract everything is negotiable/​Ok, afterward she eats her own word. My advised to this part is to make sure they put everything down in written so they couldn’t back out. I gave one star; for the professional outdoor photographer Timothy C. and staff Dicky. Dicky was honest and helpful and he was the only write who fluency in English. The staff dealing with our plans changed many times; ok I actually don’t mind the changes but at least don’t always tell me at the last minutes. I couldn’t believe this is how they treat their customer. I know there will be no returning customer but man I will never refer any of my friends to here.
On our indoor wedding date: Our photographer was late. They gave us someone who seems like he had a really bad hangover and my fiancé told me he smells like he hasn’t shower for days. Due to lack of communication from the photographer we had to do free style on our post most of the time. All he told us is turn left/​right, straighten your back. On the last dress they rush you to choose one and i end up wearing what they suggested me to wear. Of coz our picture came out not as we expected.
Outdoor photo shoot: I tried on my dress one day in advance but my finace hasn’t. So on the outdoor photo shoot I supposed to do my makeup and he has to go choose and then try on the tuxedo. So here goes my dissatisfaction:
1. The fitting lady was late for almost two hours.
2. The day before my outdoor they call me and tell me the makeup artist that I asked for few months ago resigned so I have to go with whoever they assigned me with. Seriously, you didn’t know about it till the last mintues?
3. They told us we our photo shoot will be from 12 – 3 and we can’t go to the railroad and the bay. This is exactly what the staff bullshit me” since 2012 all commercial were prohibited to take photos at Oyster Bay”. I’m thinking to myself, my friend just had a wedding recently and she went there.
Fitting day: Most of their staff did not speak English well enough to understand what my fiancé had asked them to do. Those Tailor ladies did not even speak a word of English. On the day of first fitting *(note there was no second fitting like all other wedding shop provided) I have run all over the place to translated for my finance/​the groom’s man/​mother in law. The entire pretty bride’s maid dress was choosing we end up picking whatever that is available for us. My advise here, if you could try to get there early to choose all the dress/​tuxedo.
There days before my wedding they contacted my finace and told him our big frame cracked and we need to go back to choose another one. Again! Last minute thing. Oh did I mention they do really bad Photoshop? My finance end up learning Photoshop and did our own Photoshop. So pound of him!
Wedding day: There’s more than 6 couples including us… a nightmare I dont even want to remember it.

As a bride, I wish I could have given this place 4 or 5 stars as a wedding is a once in a life time event, who would not want the best. I signed up with Paris thinking I would get the best. However that was not the case. The rep, Joann, was really helpful-​she explained everything we needed to know about the package we had ordered. Our make up artist for the photo shoot was wonderful too. My make up artist and Joann, are the only reason why I would give Paris a one star review.
Many things on my wedding day were uncontrollable-​like other couples getting married on the same day.
However, there were many things that went wrong and was something that Paris could have done to make my night feel more like a wedding instead of a zoo trip. Multiple brides, including me were running late to our own weddings due to the lack of staff there that night. I understand that they run a business and when it gets busy, its not in their control-​however, as they were booking this many weddings for one day, why did they not think to call in extra help? Because of there lack of concern for my big day, they don’t deserve a 2 star rating. I was late going to my wedding. My mother and mother in law, whose make up was included in the package was hurried along with a simple dust of blush and eyeliner.
I felt CHEATED of my money.
Dresses in the selection were older styles-​which was fine. Makeup artists were okay-​other than the fact that during my wedding day as the makeup artist was putting on my false lash forgot to trim it first and decided to stick it on my eyes anyway when she realized that the long lash did not fit, instead of taking it off and cutting it, she brought the scissors to my lashes and snipped away the flash lash and the tips of my real lashes. Unprofessional, which was the result of her trying to rush.
Photos, a huge part of any wedding as its the physical memories of your wedding day, were complete trash! All of our close up shots of my husband and I getting ready at Paris were ruined as there were so many strangers standing in either the back ground or in the reflections of the mirrors. Photographers did not even try to take pictures at different angles to cut out strangers. Crucial photos were taken at horrible angles, that focused up our nostrils and double chins.
Yes, Paris looks nice on the outside as it does have a second floor and a huge selection of dresses-​however the quantity will never beat quality. I wish I could have seen Paris for what it was before signing on and wasting money. May other brides have a better experience than I did.

I purchased a full wedding package that includes indoor, outdoor and wedding day photography. It was a one stop shop. They have the best make up artists and hair stylists. I especially want to thank Mei Ling and Helen as they really help me during the entire process. I love that I could choose any outfits for all my photography. I changed makeup and hairdo for different outfits I wore.
The wardrobe department lady was super helpful. She fixed dresses for me and my mom for photography and the wedding day.

We had a great experience choosing Paris for our wedding. Joann was really helpful, explained all the information in details with good reasonable prices. Knowing that the location is in east broadway, we were skeptical about communicating in English, but it wasn’t a problem here. Joann is very welcoming and friendly. The place is very nice and clean. 4 stars based on customer service, our wedding won’t be until next year 2016.
