Why We Don’t Serve Alcohol at High Vibe Bride
Keeping the vibes high—with full presence and clarity.
One thing that might surprise you when you walk through our doors?
We don’t serve alcohol during appointments.
That’s right—no champagne, no bubbly, no distraction from what really matters: you, your people, and your once-in-a-lifetime dress moment.
And honestly, we’ve never looked back.
💛 A Safe, Sober-Friendly Space
Many of our brides—or their guests—are sober, sober-curious, or simply prefer to feel fully present during this special experience.
We’ve heard this from a recent bride
“I felt so safe and grounded knowing there wouldn’t be pressure to drink. Thank you for holding that kind of space.”
We believe wedding dress shopping should be a sacred and clear moment—not dulled by nerves or numbed by a glass of anything.
✨ Why I Made This Choice Personally
If you’re new here, hi! I’m Janay, founder and owner of High Vibe Bride. And I’ve been building this dream business since my early 20s- from humble beginnings as a custom wedidng dress-maker to now serving up the BEST off-rack goodness. It ages me to share- but I am two decades in~ of service, sparkle, and soulful connection.
Here’s something you might not know: I’ve lived alcohol-free for years—not because of addiction or partying, but because of chronic migraines and the real impact alcohol has had on my body.
Even one glass could trigger days of pain and fog. And I just knew—if I wanted to show up fully for my brides, with the charm, grace, and intentional presence they deserve, alcohol had to go.
I’ve never regretted it.
⚖️ The Legal & Safety Side No One Talks About
Here’s the not-so-glamorous reality:
Serving alcohol in a bridal shop is legally a gray area.
We’d be responsible for:
-
Verifying age (carding guests, including minors)
-
Carrying the right kind of liquor license (which most bridal shops do not legally have)
-
Taking on serious liability if anyone were to drive after drinking
And since our boutique is proudly (and safely located near a police station), we would never feel okay serving alcohol, watching someone get into a car, and crossing our fingers it ends well.
It’s just not worth the risk.
Not for us.
Not for you.
Not for the sacredness of this experience.
💸 More Clarity = Lower Costs
Another reason we don’t pour drinks?
It helps us keep our gown prices lower than anywhere else in Kansas City.
Because when you strip away the gimmicks, what’s left is:
-
💖 Honest, reasonable pricing on every gown
-
👗 A stunning selection of dresses, ALL under $2,000
-
✂️ One-on-one styling with real alteration guidance from an expert

🧘♀️ A grounded, no-pressure atmosphere
You’re not paying for prosecco.
You’re paying for real service and a dress you’ll never forget, babe!
🧘♀️ Big Decisions, Clear Heads
Choosing your wedding gown is emotional, empowering, and often a major investment...
We believe it deserves your full clarity—not a sugar rush or a bubbly blur.
Our space is already joyful, celebratory, and yes... there may be (happy) tears, but no expectation!
We bring the high vibes—you bring your full self.
And afterward? Go out and toast however you wish...
We fully support you celebrating your way!
💖 A Spill-Free Sanctuary
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes truth:
Even our water glasses cause their share of near-misses on the gowns!
Adding sugary alcohol into the mix? Hard pass.
Protecting our dresses—and your dream moment—is priority #1.
