“Whether you are booking Tanya for wedding day styling or an appointment at Gilded Social to find your dream dress, you will be in good hands. I knew I had to book Tanya’s wedding day styling services. I can't stress this enough, she saved the day SO many times! I had hired a wedding planner, and having Tanya was still absolutely necessary! She communicated well with all vendors, making the experience ahead of time super simple. Tanya arrived the morning of the wedding to steam and prep all dresses. She had kept my 2 dresses stored because I did not have any room to store them myself. She brought two mannequins to display my dresses on for photos which was absolutely amazing to see! She went with us to the first look to help with my veil, she had everything to help in emergencies (fashion tape, wipes, deodorant, mints, you name it). She helped the entire wedding party with their dresses/suits, told the groomsmen which button to have undone, etc. Basically everything you do not want to think of/stress about as a bride, she had covered! The wedding day would not go as smooth as it did without Tanya. I truly cannot express how amazing of a job she did at my wedding. If you made it this far, you might as well just book her!!”

"I booked Tanya for her bridal day styling services. I needed someone in my corner to help me and make sure everything was in place. My dress was made out of several layers of soft tulle and was finnicky about being fluffed. From the first phone call, I could tell Tanya was a bridal/wedding expert. She is a true professional that is so passionate about her work. We met the week before when I dropped my gown off for steaming, and she brought it with her to my venue. That alone was a lifesaver - just one less thing to worry about. When I arrived, my gown was already steamed and on the mannequin and my photographer was already getting detail shots. Tanya's nemesis throughout pictures were the seemingly millions on leaves that were getting caught in my hem!!! I don't know how many she had to get out...they were truly enemy number 1! I also noticed a huge difference between photos where I had Tanya to style me and after she left post-ceremony. My sunset photos have leaves galore in my hem, and my poor photographer did his best to fluff my dress, but my floral appliques just aren't *quite* placed correctly. I just thought it was interesting that I NOTICED the difference, and I would have regretted it for our more formal photos. My dress just wouldn't have looked it's best, and I would've had a panic attack without Tanya to look to when I was being rushed around. I would recommend her for any of her services because she is a genuine, passionate person and truly goes above and beyond for every bride she works with!"

"I truly cannot imagine getting married without Tanya and Gilded Social by my side. I used Gilded Social for day-of detailing and wedding dress preservation and it was WORTH EVERY PENNY. The Gilded Social team helped my bridesmaids (12 of them across 4 states) order their chosen dresses in the appropriate sizes. Meanwhile, Tanya spent time on the phone with me reassuring me during a moment of “dress regret”, walked me through the best way to apply bust tape for my dress shape (and let me come into the shop so she could practice for the big day), and collected items to bring to my wedding so I would have a few less things to remember. On my wedding day (also her own wedding anniversary!) Tanya did a superhuman amount of work. She steamed my wedding dress, my cathedral length veil, 12 bridesmaid dresses, 4 flower girl dresses, MOB’s dress, fixed a tuxedo mishap, placed a bunch of sentimental items so I wouldn’t have to remember, taped my bust into my wedding dress, made sure my dress and veil looked perfect in all my photos, held my bouquet when it got heavy, among a trillion other things. Without having to do those things, me and my bridal party were able to enjoy each others company and bask in the joy of our day! As my mom put it: “It’s so nice to have someone on your team who does everything perfectly.” But beyond just the fabulous work she did, Tanya is an amazing person, inspirational business owner, and now a treasured friend. I am so lucky to have been able to work with her and spend so much time on the happiest day of my life with her."

"Tanya went above and beyond to create a personalized experience, making the process enjoyable and stress-free. I had been to numerous shops and felt no one was understanding what I was looking for. Once I contacted Tonya, we texted back and forth and she totally understood my vision. While she didn’t have a similar dress in stock, she special ordered a dress and it was perfect! It was the dress I ended up choosing and we were able to add the small details that I was looking for in my dress. The attention to detail and excellent customer service truly set them apart. I found my dream dress, and their expertise made the entire journey memorable. Highly recommend this Gilded Social for brides. We used GS seamstress, Mary Ellen, who was also fantastic. So great and accommodating and always quick with a fix! 3 days before my final dress fitting she was able to take the dress in another inch just in time for the perfect fit. Lastly, we also hired Tanya for day of service. Again, she made the day seamless. From steaming all the bridesmaids dresses, perfecting my dress and look, to being by my side through all the work photos, it made the day so easy. She even saved the day with water and day-of necessities. Highly recommend this addition of services as it made the day so much easier on the bridal party and bride."

"I highly recommend Gilded Social and working with Tanya to find your dream wedding dress! From the moment I started working with Tanya I knew we were in amazing hands. Gilded Social was the only store in Columbus that had the EXACT dress I was looking for. Tanya helped me find the most perfect veil too. In addition to the fabulous experience in finding my dress, Tanya was also there on my wedding day to steam my dress, fix any last minute dressing emergencies, ensure that my dress looked perfect at all times and just be the best all around to have on hand. After my wedding, I also got my dress preserved and can’t recommend ALL of this enough. Not enough words to tell you how much I recommend going to Gilded Social to shop for your dress but to also work with Tanya for the rest of your wedding dress needs!"

"I couldn’t have imagined my wedding without the outstanding service provided by Tanya. Initially, Tanya assisted me in selecting a dress that not only matched my vision but also stayed within my budget. Once I received my dress I realized my initial choice was not what I wanted. Tanya's professionalism and attentiveness quickly turned the situation around. She efficiently helped me find a replacement gown that I felt completely comfortable in. On the big day Tanya went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She was the first one there to steam my dress to perfection. Her assistance extended beyond just making sure the dress looked flawless. Some examples are she helped keep my dress straps from slipping off my shoulders, putting on my shoes, and driving me to the venue. When it was time for the reception, Tanya's skill in bustling my dress efficiently allowed me to move freely and enjoy the rest of the night. Overall, my experience at Gilded Social Bridal Shop was nothing short of exceptional, largely due to Tanya's dedication and expertise."
