LOVE NOTES
"Jennifer is a joy to work with. She is thoughtful, really listens to what you are trying to accomplish with a design and executes it perfectly, promptly and with a keen attention to detail. I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer to recreate my wedding dress out of my mother’s. She consulted me every step of the way so we could collaborate on each aspect of the design. My dress turned out better than I had ever expected and I was so lucky to have found Jennifer to make my idea into reality!" - Sara
"Jennifer’s work is exceptional. Magic, really. You can feel her love and passion for her talent and clients in every detail. My wife is really petite, making it really difficult to find clothing that fits well. After Jennifer worked her magic, My wife felt like the suit was custom made to fit her exactly right. It looked perfect. My dress was one size too big, but I fell in love and purchased it anyway. Jennifer was able to take it in and add the perfect bustle. I felt like I was in a dream. It fit incredible, I felt amazing. She was warm and welcoming, friendly and compassionate. Her work is unmatched and we couldn’t have been happier with how beautifully she pieced together the attire for our special day." -Danielle
"I came to Jennifer with a vision and a sketch on paper. I read amazing reviews about her, and only hoped she could make this vision become a reality. Not only did she create every aspect of what I wanted with beautiful care, detail and talent - it was EXACTLY what I wanted and more! Her advice, direction and careful attention to my wishes was so valuable. One of the many amazing things about Jennifer is, not only are you getting the highest quality, extensive experience and extraordinary talent - she is such a complete pleasure to work with. Her kindness, calm and friendly demeanor, patience, positivity and warmth really shine through. This makes a world of difference at such a special time in life when things can feel stressful and exciting! I highly recommend Jennifer Oberg Atelier not only for the experience but for the true quality, exquisite beauty and reliability of her work. She is truly the BEST!"

"Jennifer and her entire team were a total dream to work with. After a few crises at other places, I was dress-less just two months before my wedding. I went to Jennifer with my concept and she created my dress from scratch! She has an expert eye for detail and was also very conscious of costs in materials, which I really appreciated. I was prepared for a high-stress experience so close to the wedding date, but Jennifer and her team were so sweet, smooth, and enjoyable to work with! Not a second of stress and I have nothing but gratitude for everyone over there. I truly can't recommend them enough. - Kelsey
"Jennifer Oberg is truly a master of her trade! There was NO ONE else I would trust altering a family legacy heirloom wedding gown from 1940 - worn by 5 women in my family including my grandmother. She was able to alter it to fit my preferred style and body (which was making it sleeveless) while also preserving all original elements so at any point in the future it could be returned to it's original state. She also worked with me to envision the creation of a veil from vintage 1940's pieces, as well as a peacock feather headpiece to the floor. I also worked with her to alter a vintage mermaid sequin style gown into a dress that I plan to wear, someday, at our underwater wedding ceremony which was cancelled due to COVID. Jennifer is a consummate professional, super talented, highly experienced, and as I started it, I would literally trust no one else the way I trust her with my dream dresses." -Kristin
"I am so thankful I put value in having a custom experience. In the beginning my fiancé said if you decide to spend the money and go this route, I don’t want to bring up the money again. This was so helpful in living the experience without unnecessary negative emotions, I could purely enjoy the customization process. During fittings I was heart warmed to realize the dress needed to be adjusted or problem solved never something about my body that needed changing. I went thru all of the fitting feeling completely perfect with my body the way it is. Jennifer and her team gave the dress so much attention. She is so creative, skillful and clever with her process. On my last fitting, I told everyone I was going to be on the beautiful bride list. At 51, that felt so good to be able to say. This is because of Jennifer and her team. I had complete trust in the process. In addition, Jennifer made herself available pre wedding and during the reception that put another connection of care and love into the life of the dress. I am grateful to have these memories as a bride." - Danelle
