I Do I Do Wedding Accessories

Can you go less than 1 star?

After making half a dozen calls to wedding accessories shops I thought I fount a great match. What I found was a case of split personality! Nice and helpful on the phone, looming, pushy, and suspicious in person. What I was told I'd find and what I wasn't allowed to look at or touch were two different things. After the annoying owner woman tried to force feed me (what she said I wanted - but didn't) her scary old guy sidekick just kept watching over my shoulder, I decided it was a mistake coming here, to top it off, when I left I had a $25 parking ticket for a meeter that wasn't working! Save yourself the time by NOT visiting this place.

• Pros: eclectic selection, some unusuall finds, vibrators
• Cons: weird owner who tries to force feed you but dosen't let you choose

the lie!!!

If I could give 0 stars i would. I ordered a garter online, but then my mom found her old garter, so I attempted to return it. According to the website you CAN return non-personalized items, and you will recieve a refund w/in 5 weeks. After waiting nearly 2 months without hearing ANYTHING, I finally called the shop. They told me 1) there is no refund (their website lies), however 2) a "store credit" was sent to me... I don't want a store credit, but even if i did, I didn't get one (again, they, lie!). They said they'd contact me again, but so far I've heard nothing (that was over 2 business days ago) (yet another lie!).

On another occasion, I also went into the store to attempt to find a head-piece. The woman wouldn't let me touch any of them or try them on... and when I did find one I thought I might like, I couldn't pick it up that day and asked if she could hold it for 24 hours (a VERY normal thing to ask for), and she said no.

These people are absolutely ridiculous, rude, and horrible to deal with. They might have a great selection, but seriously I wouldn't go there unless it were a dire emergency (like you dropped your headpiece down the gutter on the way to your wedding and needed to get a new one same day).

• Pros: lots of stuff, good for emergency replacements ONLY
• Cons: lieing, cheeting, rude, inconsiderate,... did I mention RUDE

About the strange service at I Do I Do...

by ks18 at Citysearch

I live in the neighborhood and was recommended to I Do I Do, by a friend who also lives in the neighborhood. She bought a lot of things from this store for her wedding, but warned me about the strange service, etc.

According to one of the nearby business owners, the owner of I Do I Do (the husband) was robbed while leaving the store one night and beaten to the point he suffered brain damage. His wife manages the store. I think that is also why they have the doorbell.

I have not actually been to I Do I Do yet, but I do plan to go one of these days. If the story about the owner is true, it's really pretty sad. I would think the wife would at least be friendly with customers, but maybe they've just been through too much.

• Pros: selection
• Cons: service
