What a day! From start to finish I was made to feel the most important person in the room. The selection of dresses on offer was amazing. Michelle was fantastic too, offering alternatives, make suggestions and honest advice. So happy I picked Special Day to find my dream dress.

I visited the shop on Monday with my sister to find the perfect dress for my wedding. I cannot thank Julie enough for her assistance, a lovely lady. I am an older bride and wanted my dress to be age appropriate, simple and elegant. I had a dress in mind which I’d seen online but I tried some others on that Julie suggested. She made me feel at ease and comfortable with it all , and knew exactly what I wanted from a dress. I did purchase the dress that I had originally seen and im over the moon with it. I would absolutely recommend this shop to any bride. I look forward to going back when my dress comes in to have my alterations/fitting done. Thank you so much Julie for helping me choose my perfect dress and the glass of proscecco before we left.

We had the an amazing experience! The lady from the shop (sorry I can’t remember her name) was so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble and what I liked the most was I didn’t feel pressured into buying something that I wasn’t 100% sure on. When we purchased the dress, the Prosecco was a lovely touch, it definitely felt like something worth celebrating. It was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend to other bride to be’s.

I cannot thank Nikki enough, I was a very nervous bride to be. She made me feel so relaxed and at ease, I had a little bit of a moment where I felt nothing suited me, didn’t know what I wanted.. but Nikki helped me find my dream dress, highly recommend the ladies here.

Brilliant staff! Were incredibly helpful when choosing my bridal dress. They have a lovely selection, not over priced. The staff were not pushy like some bridal shops can be. Dorota was amazing! she made me feel so comfortable and was very experienced with tailoring. I had so many compliments on my dress on the day and absolutely loved wearing it. I highly recommended this bridal shop & loved the staff. My mum also bought her outfit here which was also beautiful. Thank you! X

I had the best experience at Special Day. Firstly Dorota was so welcoming and friendly, I instantly felt comfortable with her. We went though what I thought I wanted and what she would recommend. I ended up picking one of her suggestions! It was so laid back, they had a huge amount of beautiful dresses, I could’ve walked away with at least 5. I can’t wait to come back and try it on again! Thank you Dorota for making my experience such a special one. You’re brilliant at your job!

Would highly recommend this bridal store. They go above and beyond to help you find the right dress. Suggesting alterations and things that can be added to make it perfect for you. Nicola was lovely and made you feel at ease.

Really helpful staff, not pushy or pressurising which makes for a much more relaxed feel and takes the stress out of the appointment. They couldn’t do anymore to help, super intuitive and understood the feel I was looking for with the first dresses pulled out. Fabulous range of dresses, but equally were open to suggestions to push the boundaries and try new dresses on. Would 100% recommend and forever be grateful I found my wedding dress with you. Thank you.

Thank you for a wonderful day and for helping me find my beautiful Mother of the Bride outfit. My personal stylist, Julie, was an absolute star and made the whole process so easy and relaxing. She made me feel very welcome the minute I arrived (I was 30 minutes late!) and at no point made me feel rushed with the time we had left. I ended up buying the first outfit I tried on, and it was picked by Julie and something I probably would not have chosen for myself!  She helped match up a beautiful hat and I just knew this was the one. Julie gave professional and constructive advice, and I honestly believe I would not have found my outfit without her help. A lovely shop with really lovely Staff. Thank you again.

Thank you Special day Bridal. I went into wedding dress shopping not knowing where to start and you helped me find my perfect dress so quickly and effortlessly. Dorota you know the dresses so well and made me feel so supported and comfortable you really were amazing and I am so so glad I walked into your shop and found you out of all the other shops! Such a beautiful and impressive selection of dresses, it was breathtaking. I’m so excited to be working with you as part of my special day.

I visited special day and it was my first experience of trying on wedding dresses. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish (including booking the appointment). I was made to feel at ease by Michelle and the team who went above and beyond to make it a relaxing experience. I managed to say yes to the dress and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you to everyone at special day, it truly was a SPECIAL day!

My experience was just truly beautiful. I had a bad experience in another bridal shop so was really worried it was going to happen again. But as soon as I walked in the store I was met with warmth and kindness. The lady (so sorry my mind gone blank on your name) made my experience unforgettable. She was patient with me as I was unsure on what I really wanted and made the time in the store amazing. I found two dresses I really like after trying on fair few. I didn’t feel pressured to buy them and now I will definitely be recommending the store. Thank you xx

Could not thank Nikki enough, she made the day so easy and comfortable, we were all so at ease around her… she listened to everything I was looking for and found me the perfect dress and spent ages helping me get changed which was not an easy job so thank you so much Nikki.

The service was brilliant. They were in contact before my appointment to make sure they knew which type of dress I wanted to try on. Then they had those dresses ready and a couple of others picked out on the day. I was made to feel comfortable and looked after on day. I managed to get a great deal on my dress in the sale and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding dress to go here.

Would definitely recommend this shop, I bought my wedding dress 2 years ago, for my wedding that should have taken place last year, I’d been to other shops and felt really uncomfortable as they only had really small sizes, and not everyone is small, I went to Special Day and found my dress virtually straight away!!! I also bought my two bridesmaid dresses, which were stunning.
Sadly due to lockdown my wedding got postponed to 16th September this year, and Jackie at the shop was amazing, she replied to all my emails very quickly to re assure me on any concerns I had, I didn’t want to have my dress at home for 18 months while waiting to see if my wedding could or couldn’t go ahead? They kept the dress there for me in storage, along with the bridesmaid dresses for the whole 18 months at very minimal cost, and as soon as they were open had lots of contact to re arrange all my fittings. It was never too much trouble when ever I got in contact with the shop or the lovely Dorota who was carrying out the alterations. Myself and the bridesmaids had lots of fittings due to the amount of time that had elapsed since buying the dresses. We had the most amazing wedding last week and the dresses looked absolutely beautiful, I would definitely recommend this shop to any bride! Thanks for everything x

An enjoyable shopping experience trying to find an outfit for my son’s wedding. The staff were helpful but not pushy or intimidating and wanted to help you find an outfit you were happy to wear on such an important occasion.
