| - Mary Beth and her were the best of the absolute best! I can't thank the staff there enough for helping me find the dress of my dreams back on 9/27/14. The two women that were there that day were so much fun and they both were unbelievably helpful, honest, and accommodating. They were also patient and understood that my visit to Koda was the first time I had ever tried wedding dresses on. My mom, godmother/aunt, and my cousin were there as well and we all had so much fun. Visiting Koda was extra special for me and my family because my mom grew up right around the corner of Koda on Peermont Ave (my godmother/aunt and cousin still live there in the house that's been in my family for over 50 years). My parents and practically all the couples in my large Irish family worked, met, and fell in love at the Red Bull Inn Restaurant that was only a few blocks down from Koda on West Liberty Ave. They ripped the building a few years ago and replaced it with a Kia car dealership I think. lol All of those couples, including my parents, were also married at St Bernard's across the street from Koda. I was baptized there as well, lol.
My experience with Koda was absolutely magical not only because of your wonderful staff but because as I was standing on the circle platform upstairs in Koda, wearing the dress of my dreams, I got a glimpse of where the Red Bull Inn once stood. That building/area holds so many fun memories and stories that I've grown up with and cherish so much. I knew in that moment that Koda was perfect, the dress was perfect, and that's exactly where I was supposed to be. A few family members that met/fell in love in those few blocks have since passed away and in some small way, I truly felt that they helped guide me to your boutique to help me find the dress of my dreams so I could experience that surreal moment. That might be overly dramatic but I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such an awesome place for women of all sizes to feel at home while looking for the dress that they've dreamed of all their lives because that's exactly how I felt when it all came together as I stood on that pedestal. We will most certainly be back for my dress alterations and for my mom's dress as well. Thank you thank you thank you to you and your staff that day!
