Hello Cheryl,
I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with a purchase that I made at your store. Not only is the dress beautiful but Kathy was a joy to work with. As you know shopping for a prom dress can be quite stressful for us picky moms. My daughter Isabella and I shared a wonderful experience the reliable dress shop in our own home town...Penina's. Also, I heard that Evelyn has "hands of gold". It couldn't be more true. As the daughter of a dress maker I can recognize quality work. She did an outstanding job! I wish you many more good years in business. Thank you,
Angela Zallie
Hi Cheryl,
I just wanted to thank you in writing for the wonderful experience I had looking for the perfect dress for my daughter’s wedding. Everyone in your store is so personable and fun! I had such a good experience, I wanted my mother-in-law to come in for her dress for the wedding as well. She is 81 years old and said she has never been treated like that in a store… she felt like a princess. Joann and Cathy are both so great. You really do deserve that award! We found beautiful dresses and had so much fun doing it! I will send all of my friends to you! Hope you have wonderful holidays, I’ll be in to see you in January.
Sincerely,
Connie Hoyle
" Last night's event was fantastic! All the women that work at Penina's are wonderful and very friendly. Cheryl took a conservative dresser like myself and helped me think out of the box. I even ate sushi for the first time! I love what I purchased and look forward to going back. You can't get the kind of personal touch service in the mall like I did with Cheryl. Thank you!

Cheryl and Penina and your outstanding staff, example: Kathy!
I just wanted to let you know that we are thrilled to have chosen the first of the dresses for our second daughter's wedding at Penina's. Where else would we go? The mother of the bride, grandmother of the bride, THE BRIDE, and the matron of honor (last year's bride!) all expect to be outfitted by YOU! Not only do we get the most unique and beautiful, but the atmosphere is so friendly, non-judgmental, helpful... and downright fun that this process which could be so grueling is actually a great joy! One daughter lives in NY and one lives in Sao Paulo, Brazil... and neither thinks of going anywhere else when it comes to this most special of occasions!

Dear Penina,
Thank you so much for the terrific service you offer. It is so very hard to find a boutique that offers quality products that are unique and lovely while at the same time being affordable and with a staff that truly understands what it means to be client centered. Your team is so responsive and helpful. This not is just to thank you for how terrific every one of my visits have been and to let you know how much I am enjoying my terrific new wardrobe!

Cheryl,
I just pulled out your business card to call Penina with a question about having my daughter's wedding dress cleaned and preserved and when I looked on the back of the card for your email address I read your description of what you carry in your store. I just had to tell you again that the dress I purchased for my daughter's May 31st wedding was indeed "truly exceptional"! I know that I could not have found a dress like mine anywhere else. So many of our guests told me that I was stunning and my dress was gorgeous. I know that I have told you all this when I was in last with LeeAnn and I brought in our pictures but I wanted to tell you again! "Truly exceptional" does not describe your dresses and I am happy to own one.
A very happy customer,
Patti Braydich
Testimonial of Alexa Acampora
I looked for my prom gown at Penina's after shopping at least 3 other stores. I think Penina's has a great selection and I had a bunch of gowns to choose from. I liked 2 different ones but I picked a print that was a "one of a kind." Stephanie helped me with trying on the dresses and giving me shoes to try on too. She told me that no one else would have my dress and no one did! It was a great experience shopping at Penina's!
Cheryl,
Thank you all so much for the outstanding service I received when I was in your store. You are all so very helpful and friendly! Your boutique is a gold mine in my opinion. My daughter's prom dress fit absolutely perfect! She had so much fun picking out all the accessories especially the long gloves. Thanks for making this purchase so fun! I am happy to spread the word to my friends about how wonderful your staff and shop are. Thanks again for all of the great help and attention to detail. I took the liberty of attaching a few pics to show the result of everyone's hard work at Penina!
Respectfully,
Tom Noonan
