The Wedding Veil Legacy (2022 TV Movie) User Reviews

The Final Chapter

[atlasmb · 6/10 · 21 February 2022]

As the third episode of the trilogy begins, the women are more inclined to believe the legend: that the possessor of the veil will find true love. But Tracy (Alison Sweeney) is already dating someone.

He ships off to the west coast in no time, leaving our third girl open for business. She meets a charming man, Nick (Victor Webster) immediately and they begin the dance. He is a chef and she is in need of a catered affair. Also connecting them is a long-lost document with historical significance.

This episode brings the romance back to the States where, unfortunately, there is less magic. The two leads fit together well, but this final chapter does not live up to the Italian segment. And it's not just the locale; the writing lacks the energy of the other two. Still, it is satisfying to watch the summation of this three-part story arc.

Last but not Least

[rebekahrox · 8/10 · 21 February 2022]

The script was not a challenge for good actors: no great emotional highs and lows, but the whole cast of seasoned Hallmark actors did an excellent job. All handled the good humor and banter with aplomb.

Tracy, played by Alison Sweeney, the third woman in the triumvirate of Wedding Veil owners begins her story with breaking up with her boyfriend, Finn. It is handled very maturely. He has gotten a great job across the country, and Tracy does not want to leave New York, or her own great job. They are sad to part ways, but as we have gathered from the previous two installments, they have grown apart lately anyway.

Tracy takes the veil to a tailor(?) to have a snag repaired and meets Victor Webster getting fitted for a tuxedo. There is some good natured raillery. Allison is planning an important party for her job and is in the market for a new caterer. Her search brings her to a new restaurant accompanied by Autumn and Lacey. Lo and behold Victor is the head chef and part owner with his family. The meeting between the women and Victor is chuckle-worthy thanks to the three actresses comic timing and easy rapport.

The side story of Tracy's mission to obtain a newly discovered early draft of the famous Emma Lazarus poem for the museum where it can be enjoyed by the public is interesting. It adds some suspense and provides the pretext (Victor might know an investor), along with picking out art for the new location of Victor's restaurant, and rug hauling around, for the promising couple to spend more time together. Alison and Victor make a good pair both age-wise and in physicality.

Unlike the second installment the plot is tightly written. There are quite a few little stories, but the focus remains on the couple and their developing relationship. Every individual side element gets tied into the whole, including the Emma Lazarus poem welcoming immigrants to America. The continuing mystery of how the veil got to San Francisco is well incorporated into this final chapter and provides a satisfying conclusion involving a lovely coincidence and a twist. After the veil does it's job of finding husbands for the three likable friends, it finds its own happy final home.

Of the three movies, I rank the first one the best for it's humor, this one second for the well constructed plot, and the second one my least favorite. **7 1/2 stars**

The final chapter

[txharrington · 7/10 · 23 February 2022]

Ok, so I may have teared up when the credits rolled bc it means the trilogy is over. I've truly enjoyed seeing these women together, their friendships, and where the veil would take them. I've always been a fan of Sweeney and chabert. All three girls were a joy. Love women being supportive and uplifting to other women.

Just Hallmark showcasing the good in people. It's why I continue to subscribe to all Hallmark channels. It's full of joy and goodness and it's rare to see on tv anymore.

The Magic of the Veil

[jlbsword · 7/10 · 20 February 2022]

This was a cute idea for a trilogy with a magical wedding veil bringing love to it's owners. The first movie was pleasant enough, although Lacey Chabert is over used in the Hallmark movies. I loved the 2nd one with the always sweet Autumn Reeser.. But this third and last instalment was not quite as good as I had hoped. I like Alison and Victor and have enjoyed them in many of their other roles. And their connection seemed real enough. But the story was rather contrived with so many coincidences. We finally find out about the history of the veil but again, just not really believable. Everything was tied up in a neat bow. Still, it's an enjoyable series and I would like to see more trilogies, as you do get drawn into the interconnecting stories and the development of the characters and their relationships.

The three friends are back and this time with a hunky Italian American chef.

[cgvsluis · 9/10 · 20 February 2022]

This is the third and final installment in Hallmark's Wedding Veil trilogy. It started with The Wedding Veil, continued with The Wedding Veil Unveiled and is concluded by The Wedding Veil Legacy. The stories are based on the novels by romance author Lori Wilde.

In this third installment the very legendary veils is given to the third friend Tracy, the doubting Thomas and quintessential New Yorker, to repair a small tear post Emma's wedding. While in the Italian tailor's shop she meets and interrupts a tailoring session with a tall, handsome gentleman who is having a tux tailored. Almost immediately, Tracy's boyfriend of two years gets a job in a California symphony and the two part ways. When the catering for their auction house event falls through, her coworker and friend takes her to try an Italian restaurant as a potential for a catering replacement...when they ask to speak to the owner it turns out to be Nick from the tailor's shop. This begins an interesting and beautiful friendship.

"I love New York, it's who I am."-Tracy

It was really nice to see that Nick was equally passionate about New York and New York history as Tracy. It made their relationship fun...and he just got her.

This was my favorite of the three Wedding Veil films. I love Allison Sweeney and was eagerly awaiting her movie. I am also a big fan of Victor Webster from the Matchmaker Mystery series. These two had great chemistry. (I hope they make more movies with those two together.)

This was a slow build of two people who fit so perfectly together and I really liked the interconnection with the historic Italian story and the provenance of the veil.

Wonderfully romantic story that I think all those romantics out there should watch! Highly recommend.

Nice series

[Jackbv123 · 7/10 · 26 February 2022]

I love Allison Sweeney. She may be one of the Hallmark regulars most likely to be in a really heartwarming movie. (This one was decent but not outstanding.) I also like the concept of this series. All the movies have been OK. My preferences best to worst were probably first to last.

Sweeney and Victor Webster have good chemistry. The story is totally average - no great highs or lows, surprises or tension. Except maybe the ending. The last few scenes are worth waiting for.

Wow!!!

[ssimeonidou1 · 9/10 · 21 February 2022]

I loved this trilogy!!!

The first one was the best with Lacey and Kevin having great chemistry and lots of laughs..... The second one was good also! Autumn is beautiful and very heartwarming!

And the third was great with Alison and Victor being so good together and their relation evolving so effortles!

Definetely needs a forth.... a fifth..... hope they will continue with a next film..... and the wedding veil club keeps giving us beautiful romantic stories to watch!!!

Maybe with Carly (Jordana Largy) and ... Brednan Penny as the new sef in her restaurant!!!??? Ha ha....

Can't get past plot hole

[dgvskwsz · 6/10 · 27 February 2022]

In what world would a random Italian tailor in New York be the "perfect" person to fix a snag in the lace of an 150+ year-old veil?

Emma had just married into the di Stefano family of lace-makers, whose ancestors had created that veil for a member of the family. And the snag happened at the wedding in Italy, with the entire family RIGHT THERE. Emma could have left it with the family and they could have fixed it and sent it to Tracy. Neither Emma nor Tracy seem concerned in the least about the damage.

I know they needed a way for Tracy to meet Nick while in possession of the veil, but they could have found a way that wasn't complete nonsense.

Really Good Movie

[pattersonjamie-12079 · 9/10 · 24 February 2022]

This movie was entertaining and funny from the start. Alison Sweeney and Victor Webster were really good together. The entire cast did a great job.

I watched all 3 of these and this one was the best. I'll watch this one again.

The veil movies have no similarities

[MickyG333 · 7/10 · 13 February 2023]

7.2 stars.

What Hallmark has done with the Veil movies is obvious to me now. I didn't quite see it at first, but it's a marketing ploy to crank out a bunch of films based on a mysterious veil. This third installment is totally different than the first two, actually none of them are similar. They each have vastly different plots, different writing styles, acting styles, dialogue, and pacing. Each movie could be a standalone from the others and it would make no difference. The only links are the three women and a talisman of love.

"Legacy" is about the same as the first film for entertainment value and flow, but it sorely lacks romance. I enjoyed it for the museum, art, and the Italian family. The lead female's assistant was fun too. The production value is obviously very high, and that usually makes for a great Hallmark film. It lacks the romance, history, and mystery of the first two films. Chabert and her guy seemed more in tune with the younger audiences, whereas this film is so different, more for a 40+ age group, and yet these women are supposedly the same age. The male lead in this seems much older than she.

At the end when she is feeling remorse for shunning him a bit too hastily, her performance is contrived and devalues the scene. I'll let it slide for now, because I really like the potential of these veil stories. Fingers crossed for the fourth installment...

Entertaining

[montgomerysue · 8/10 · 20 February 2022]

What do you get when Hallmark takes six of its most dependable performers out of its stable of regulars and creates an all-star movie for the winter blahs ? Some fun and energetic banter that elevates a good, but not great, script to a story that is quite entertaining and a pleasing way to pass a couple of hours. Alison Sweeney, Lacey Chalbert, Victor Webster, Autumn Reeser, Matty Finochio, and Paula Shaw are all very adept and talented actors and they seem like they are having a lot of fun playing their parts, resulting in a presentation that is a very satisfying.

The locales, sets, and costumes are attractive and the direction is very good. While it is certainly not a dramatic or rom-com classic, this is good entertainment by a likable and fun cast.

My Second Favorite Movie of the Wedding Veil Trilogy

[sallylit · 6/10 · 26 May 2022]

This final installment of The Wedding Veil Trilogy was a good movie. I just found it hard to believe that Nick had so much time to spend with Tracy since he was working at one restaurant and getting ready to open another one. I did like the chemistry between Nick and Tracy, but the storyline was a unbelievable to me.

Lost the magic

[d-robold · 4/10 · 6 March 2022]

Good cast but overlong, overdone, and repetitive. I grew to hate the phrase "Now do you believe in the veil/magic/legend?" I really enjoyed the supporting cast, and the completion of the story of the veil. A lot of the restaurant business, inaccuracies about food, and cutsie girl stuff was a jarring note. It felt like a lot of filler to finish the story off, and the subtle magic of the veil was on the back burner. I would rather have seen more about the sister, mother and grandmother than getting restaurants up and running, apartment redecorating, and meals. I hope there is more to follow this trilogy, but don't forget the magic next time.

The Wedding Veil Legacy

[JoBloTheMovieCritic · 6/10 · 19 March 2022]

6/10 - the series ends off on a high and will certainly be one to check out if you enjoyed the rest of the series as there are a lot of bows tied together and storylines completed.

Tracy Goodwyn Serchio (Alison Sweeney), Avery Morrison Hastings (Lacey Chabert) and Emma Lowell Listetto (Autumn Reeser)

[aab874 · 10/10 · 8 March 2022]

Favorite scene with

Tracy Goodwyn Serchio (Alison Sweeney) - Telling Nick that she's ready to take things to the Next Level with him and Kissing in his Restaurant.

Avery Morrison Hastings (Lacey Chabert) - Telling Nick's Family that the Wedding Veil belongs to them through his Grandma.

Emma Lowell Listetto (Autumn Reeser) - Telling Nick's Family that the Wedding Veil belongs to them through his Grandma.

BTW, I Loved this movie!

Was ok

[LtlHippo · 6/10 · 23 February 2022]

Just ok, loved the 2nd one the most. The ending ruined this for me. I mean, what are the odds about the history of the veil? Just came together so weird. Victor and Alison did a great job. I missed how long it was when they got married. Hope we see more trilogies.

Loved it

[rhonnie-43139 · 10/10 · 21 February 2022]

This movie was my favorite of the three. I loved the plot and the actors.

The lead actress did a great job. They wrapped up the story really well.

However, I think they should have had the other husbands appear in this last movie. They mentioned them, but we never saw them on camera.

One other thing worth mentioning is how nice it was to see the sisterly bond between the 3 women. They consistently supported each other throughout the trilogy. That was nice.

Bottom line, I enjoyed this movie more than the other two. But I also liked the first one.

Charming legacy

[TheLittleSongbird · 6/10 · 23 March 2023]

Expectations were high for the third instalment of the 2022 'The Wedding Veil' trilogy. Really enjoyed both of the previous instalments, especially the first, and have liked to loved all the principals, all seasoned Hallmark regulars, in many other Hallmark films. Regardless of the film themselves overall. It was great to have two of the better and more consistent Hallmark regulars Alison Sweeney and Victor Webster in the lead roles, and despite the 2022 New Year New Year block being a very mixed bag the Loveuary one started off very well.

Quality does dip a little with 'The Wedding Veil Legacy'. There has been a bit of a divide in whether this is the best of the trilogy or the weakest. For me, 'The Wedding Veil Legacy' is the weakest. It is still a decent film don't get me wrong, and worth it for the cast in particular. Did feel though that the previous two films had stronger stories and writing, which is where this film is a little patchy on though never disastrous. As far as the 2022 Hallmark films go, this is somewhere in the middle whereas the previous two were two of the best.

'The Wedding Veil Legacy' does have a lot done well. Sweeney and Webster are very charming and natural in their roles, particularly Webster as the most likeable and most developed of the three leading men in the trilogy. Their chemistry is simply adorable and always looks easy to watch. Lacey Chabert and Autumn Reeser are zesty in the other lead roles, and Paula Shaw brings a lot of class and fun to her supporting role. Did find myself caring for the characters and being interested by them, their writing isn't rich but this aspect didn't feel tired or stereotyped and nobody behaves frustratingly.

Production values again are strong, with the scenery sublime. It's directed with assured confidence with no signs of fatigue or disinterest. The music is not unforgettable but it at least fits and is pleasant on the ear. The script has light hearted playful wit and doesn't get too sappy or too sentimental. On the whole the story is light hearted and heart-warming, working well as escapism.

Despite those good things, 'The Wedding Veil Legacy' does have shortcomings. It could have done with a much tighter pace, with there not being much energy in the first act, and has too many unrealistic coincidences that makes the film come over as silly.

Also really didn't buy the contrived, strangely under-explored and tacked on feeling ending, that did also feel too on the neat side. While it was nice to see some Italian culture, it is a bit too stereotypical and what is worse is that it is stereotyping that is not accurate thanks to common misconceptions.

In summary, decent conclusion but a little disappointing too. 6/10.

Great conclusion!

[hallmarkmov · 9/10 · 1 March 2022]

I found the first movie to be at a very easy pace, the second was a bit quick but a lot happened, and this one was alway very fast with so much talking! I wished it was also filmed in Europe but I like the story of going from Italy back to America. The characters had great chemistry and you feel like you've spent so much time with them and root for everyone to have a happy ending. I like that all three were straight forward love stories without unnecessary drama, and three women who's friendship endured time. One error was the red dress she bought didn't look like the one she wore at the party! I wish the last few minutes were stretched out longer rather than quickly revealing the veil's full story in less than 2 minutes to wrap it up. I wanted to know the full story and looked forward to the mystery and wanted more time with it. I had to rewatch it twice to catch it all. A wonderful trilogy!

Best of the Three

[jetsetter311-540-775830 · 8/10 · 15 March 2022]

I really enjoyed the entire series and this last installment is my favorite. The humor and the chemistry and even the supporting characters are best on display. Alison Sweeney is the strongest of the actresses and her naturalness and ease is nice to watch.

Almost boring

[genevieve-04523 · 3/10 · 27 March 2022]

I'm sorry but the third trilogy was very.gossipy...Actresses speaks very fast and for a born french.is very hard to follow them. Victor Webster is kind but no in this one. The story is.

Redundant and third is enought!

Interesting

[gearlds-26842 · 8/10 · 19 March 2022]

Not too much on the first one, the actress is the same in all her movies, a little tiring. The second one was better but difficult to understand the actor sometimes. The third with Sweeney was the best. I found myself sharing in her happiness more than the others. Over all a good series but nothing spectacular. They need more movies as I am watching a fourth and fifth time most of the hallmark movies. It seems they can't keep up the viewers. Hallmark is my favorite channel but you can only watch the same movies so many times.

Fantastic Trilogy!

[Ekm828511 · 9/10 · 10 July 2022]

Thoroughly enjoyed and loved the Victor Webster/Alison Sweeney pairing! The third movie in the trilogy wrapped up the wonderful trilogy of movies and left us wanting more of this wonderful trilogy cast together in the future! Well done!

Chemistry

[harryb-7 · 9/10 · 27 February 2022]

The chemistry between these two hallmark regulars is on point. They both are talented sophisticated actors with a realistic feel to their performances.

The movie wasn't as deep as I would have like considering the others but all in all was still good because of the leading couple.

Sophisticated New Yorkers

[lavatch · 8/10 · 13 March 2022]

One line spoken in the middle of "The Wedding Veil Legacy" gets at the heart of film's characterizations: "There is always something new to discover about New York." It turns out that one of the new things discovered is that Tracy Goodwyn and Nick Serchio are true blue New Yorkers who are made for one another.

Tracy is the Director of Books and Documents at the Metropolitan Auction House in New York City. Nick is the owner of an Italian restaurant in Manhattan. The two characters meet at a tailor shop where Nick is being fitted for a tuxedo and Tracy has brought in a damaged veil that was acquired her and her two besties, Emma and Avery. The two friends have married, and it is now Tracy's turn to trust in the veil in her never-ending quest for bliss in the sacred institution of holy matrimony.

The legend of the veil is that the possessor will find true love. After Tracy's boyfriend Flynn is hired to play trumpet for the Los Angeles symphony, he is seen as a traitor for leaving Tracy's beloved New York. When she meets Nick, she has found another die-hard New Yorker. At that point, the deal is basically sealed.

The filmmakers wove some good, liberal, multicultural tropes into the narrative. Tracy is seeking a museum to purchase the handwritten draft of Emma Lazarus's poem "The New Colossus" that welcomes immigrants to America. Of course, we must champion all forms of immigration, not just the legal kind written about by Lazarus where immigrants went through legal channels on Ellis Island to become citizens. Today, we must all endorse illegal immigration by the millions on the Southern border. Nick is opening a new restaurant that will combine Italian and Asian cuisine. What a great neoliberal idea! A new form of politically correct dining: Asian-Italian!

Originally worn by a Contessa, the magical veil is infused with the spirit of Ariana that hovers over the happy couple, Tracy and Nick. It is only a matter of time before Tracy will be donning the veil as she marches up the aisle to her destiny.
