We’ll let Charlotte speak for herself..... Wanted to pass along my thanks for your wonderful service back on February 8, 2020 when I came in to look for my dress! Our wedding was set to take place on May 16, 2020 and we decided to go ahead with just us and our parents. We were ready to start our lives together and didn't want this pandemic to get in the way of that. It was a beautiful, intimate day and we were able to capture it on video to share with family and friends.... Finding my dress at Gina's Cloest was really special for me. My mom is a two-time breast cancer survivor and while we don't live in the area, she spent quite a bit of time in the KW area for treatments and several years of check-ups. Getting the dress off the vintage rack was a nice surprise. It had the look I was going for: modest, simple, yet classy! Thank you so much to the volunteers who made us feel welcome and comfortable. I would recommend Gina's closet to anyone. #brideshelpingbrides #ginascloset #cancercharity #dress donation #stjacobs #kitchenerwaterloo #weddingdress #budgetbride #anotherbridedecides

I actually bought two wedding dresses from you and they were both absolutely perfect for our wedding day! (I also got a veil and shoes!) I wore the more formal dress for the ceremony and dinner, then changed into the shorter, lighter (and maybe vintage?) dress for easy dancing! Thank you for making the entire shopping experience so fun, memorable, affordable, and most importantly: helpful to a great cause. Thank you for everything you do!! #brideshelpingbrides #ginascloset #anotherbridedecides #cancercharity #budgetbride #weddingdress #stjacobs #kitchenerwaterloo #makeadifference

I just wanted to thank you for the amazing experience. I bought my wedding dress last year and my daughter's bridesmaid dress last year as well from Gina’s Closet.

We’ll let Chantel speak for herself... I came into your store wanting to be able to support a good cause. Having gone through brain surgery in May of 2018, I wanted to be able to give back to medical research. Without medical research, the surgery that I went through would not have had such a great outcome, as I was able to have last year. Even though I came into Gina’s Closet with an eye patch, your team made me feel so welcome and my friends and I were taken aback by the va...riety of dresses you had in stock. Although I came in looking for a lace dress, the moment I put on a beautiful, satin, beaded A-line dress I was in love. Thank-you so much Gina’s Closet for the work you do. I highly recommend your store to all my friends for all their bridal needs. #cancercharity #dressdonation #weddingdress #ginasclosetbridal #brideshelpingbrides #budgetbrides See more

Gina’s will be closed December 26th and reopen Saturday, December 28th. Merry Christmas to all!

Andrea’s words mean so much to us! Hi Marlene and ladies at Gina's Closet, I wanted to take time to once again thank all of you for helping me look and feel like a princess on my wedding day! From the moment I stepped into Gina's Closet I knew it was going to be a special experience. The atmosphere is so cool being inside the silo. All the ladies I met were kind, helpful and listened to what I liked and pulled dresses to go along with this. Nobody was pushy or over...whelming like I experience at some bridal boutiques. I couldnt believe that I found the dress of my dreams in under 2 hours! I now recommend Gina's closet to anyone I know looking for a wedding dress and formal dresses as well. My now mother in law also found her dress for our wedding at Gina's I also couldnt be happier that the money I spent on my dress went to support local cancer charities. See more
