What's on the racks
“I picked a dress that I really liked but had some concerns with the coverage and Gail came up with some great solutions to make me more comfortable in the dress.”
“Gail was welcoming, kind, understanding and so incredibly helpful and the best thing about it is that she found the perfect mother of the bride dress for my wedding!”
“If you’re in the market for a wedding dress, special occasion or mother of the bride dress, this is the place for you, you will not be disappointed!”
“To finish the look, I found the perfect necklace to showcase this dress in the store and a clutch purse to match the gossamer of the wrap.”
What shoppers say again and again
“I had a dress picked out last year but didn’t buy it because of the cancellation but when I went yesterday Gail had the dress there for me to try again.”
“I have to say when I had the first alterations done, added sleeves, added a bling belt, which were my ideas, I was not happy.”
From the reviews
I am so thankful that I found my wedding dress at Occasions for so many reasons. I would highly recommend this store to anyone! I’m so happy with my experience because of the service that Gail and her team provided.
My daughters have purchased several prom dresses over the years at Occasions and each shopping experience was pleasant and stress-free. The most recent purchase at Occasions was my youngest daughter’s wedding dress. Gail, as in the past, was patient, helpful and so accommodating.
My mom and I found Gail with Occasions by accident through a simple Google search. My mom had looked at many dresses and couldn’t find a dress that she loved. Gail was welcoming, kind, understanding and so incredibly helpful and the best thing about it is that she found the perfect mother of the bride dress for my…
stopped in on a lark for a trunk show for my Mother-of-Groom dress a few months ago and ended up ordering a dress. I have to say I couldn't be happier with the entire process. Occasions is one of the few shops that carry plus size sample dresses so you are able to try on samples if you happen to be plus size.
Plus size bridal & formal at Occasions Bridal Bethel
Occasions Bridal Bethel comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
Big & tall at Occasions Bridal Bethel
Reviews and the store's own info mention men's big & tall at Occasions Bridal Bethel — extended sizes, longer inseams and sleeve lengths, or a dedicated big & tall selection rather than a single rack. If you need specific sizes (tall lengths, extended necks, wide-width shoes), a quick call ahead saves the trip: stock in the far ends of the size run moves fast, and many stores can order your size even when it's not on the floor that day.
