Olivia was an incredible asset to my dress-finding journey! She helped me reflect on the elements I loved in each dress and kept a running list of favourites to revisit at later appointments. She is very knowledgeable about how the wedding dress industry and alterations work, and had great advice for shopping for our far-out wedding date. Olivia is very personable and laid back, and I especially appreciated how mindful she was of my budget. She was sure to let me know when a dress was nearing or exceeding my price range before I tried it on, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with her.
The shop itself has a fantastic variety of styles, designers, and accessories. We had such a great time at our appointments and loved having the space to ourselves. We’ll definitely be back to explore bridesmaids and mother-of-the-bride dresses!

Absolutely Magical Prom Dress Experience at Sophie’s Kitchener!

From the moment I walked into Sophie’s, I knew I was in the right place—but what truly made the experience unforgettable was working with Jen. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Jen took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the entire process.

She pulled dresses that matched my style perfectly, offered honest and thoughtful feedback, and made the whole experience feel like a dream. I ended up finding the most stunning prom dress—something I never would have picked on my own, but Jen saw the vision before I did!

The boutique itself is beautiful, with a wide selection of high-quality gowns in every style and color imaginable. But it’s the personalized service that truly sets Sophie’s apart.

If you're looking for a prom dress (or any special occasion gown), run, don’t walk to Sophie’s in Kitchener—and ask for Jen. She’s a gem!

I had the most amazing experience at Sophie’s in Kitchener while shopping for a prom dress! Jen and Sophie were absolutely incredible—so welcoming, helpful, and genuinely kind. They made the whole process easy and fun, and were beyond accommodating from start to finish. Their attention to detail and care made me feel confident and excited about my daughter’s choice. Highly recommend Sophie’s to anyone looking for the perfect dress and a truly personal shopping experience! I would highly recommend to all my friends!

I had already placed an order for my wedding dress at another local wedding dress shop in KW when I went to the appointment for my sister-in-law to try on her dress. I saw what a great experience she had there, and how quickly she got the dress she ordered compared to my experience at the other shop where I received terrible customer service and in fact NEVER received my dress for my May 2025 wedding. On the last time the other shop made an appointment with me and cancelled day of because they still hadn't received my dress, I was glad I had set up an appointment at Sophie's to look for something off the rack (as we were around 2 months away from my wedding). The staff there went above and beyond to help make it feel like a special day even though I had been bummed out from my bad experience, and they helped me find a dress off the rack that not only did I love just as much as my first dress but also fit me perfectly and didn't even need any alterations! I cannot recommend their services enough, such great people and so many beautiful dresses 🙂

I had such an amazing experience here. All the staff were SUPER friendly and VERY Helpful. I came in not knowing at all what kind of wedding dress I wanted. I ended up choosing a custom wedding dress, and they were able to help me every step of the way even when my date got changed to an earlier date they were able to accommodate me to get my dress tailored in time! I would 100% recommend them to find the perfect dress for you!

I found myself in this dress.

The team at Sophie's Gown Shoppe was so incredible welcoming. Their excitement and kindness helped calm anxiety and helped me take in the full experience. Jinei, the person who helped me, listened to what I was looking for, and added ideas of her own that she felt reflected what I was trying to express. This led me to finding the dress I ended up purchasing. The easiest way to explain how I felt while wearing it is that I only saw the parts of me that I love. I am so excited to be my truest self on the day that I get to Marry the most incredible person I know.

Thank you so much

Visited this Sophie's looking for a prom dress for my daughter. They have a wide selection of gowns, which can get overwhelming, but it helps to have an idea of what you're looking for. The very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff were able to pull dresses based on the color and style my daughter wanted. They don't rush you, which I appreciated and provided great advice on the sizing and fit. Thank you Sophie's for a wonderful shopping experience.
