Beautiful Brides

& Kind Words

A personal thank you to Julie for everything you did to make Sophie’s day really special. Everyone commented on Sophie’s dress and how stunning it was. Your service is excellent and would recommend it. A big thank you to everyone who was involved much appreciated.x

Julie was absolutely brilliant! She made me feel at ease as soon as I walked in. She has lots of experience and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend Gatehouse Brides

What can I say! Both Julie’s are so passionate about their job and making sure the bride to be feels welcomed.

They are both so honest with you, and know which dresses suit your body shape .. one thing I did notice and that’s how they read your body language.. which I think is a bonus ..
I didn’t think the first Dress I tried on would actually be the dress I said yes too.. and the veil also I’ve chosen is gorgeous.. I’m so in love with my dress/veil that I’m desperate to get into it .. it’s absolutely stunning

They are such lovely ladies I’d highly recommend… best experience I’ve ever had! And I’m so glad, I have chosen Gatehouse Brides ??

I visited Gatehouse Brides this week and was blown away by the support I received from the two lovely ladies in there. Not only did they make me feel at ease as quite a body-conscious person, but they helped me find dresses that suited my build and in styles that I loved. I couldn’t have asked for a more relaxed and informative experience and I was lucky enough to find the perfect dress! ??

The girls at Gatehouse Brides were fantastic hosts! 

I had a great time sharing the details of my wedding where they then impressively sold me the 2nd dress I tried on! They understood my vision and delivered within 30 minutes! Lisa even helped me with my bridesmaid dresses by meeting us at their sister site so that I could explore the different styles and have my friend try the dresses on. 

If you want support and clear expert advice when choosing your dress then I whole heartily recommend this place. They make it far easier than you would expect! 

Thanks for your help girls! Xxx

Thank you Julie for making me and my mum feel so welcome at Be You – very excited to have found my wedding dress, and really looking forward to wearing it and feeling beautiful on my big day!

Amazing service, both Julie’s were so friendly and made me feel so comfortable after an awful first bridal shop. Can’t believe I found the dress of my dreams. They were all so knowledgeable of the dress and worked amazingly as a team. Loved the little touch of fizz and cupcakes too!

Firstly- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I have been passed this shop a ridiculous amount of times throughout my life- peering inside every time to see the dresses in the window and getting a glimpse of brides trying on so many beautiful dresses! A little pinch-me moment happened when I turned into one of those brides and was given the opportunity to try on so many wonderful gowns! This was made even better by the amazing customer service I received while at Gatehouse Brides!

Julie made my family and I feel very welcome and quickly showed us she knew exactly what she was doing. I went in with an open mind and some vague (and rather opposing) ideas of what I’d like to try on from the sample Gatehouse Brides has online. Julie was a complete expert and guided me through my choices, showing me a few examples of things to make sure I definitely didn’t want that style and ultimately helping me say ‘yes to the dress’!! She was incredible! Julie picked up on what I was feeling and gave me extra information/guidance on everything I tried on. After just a few dresses, she’d figured out what I liked/wanted and the last dress she pulled was the one (although we did re-try a couple on her recommendation to double-check!). We were so so pleased with the experience and although I don’t get to try on any more dresses, I am sure I made the right decision with the help of both Julie at Gatehouse brides!

Amazing place, amazing ladies!! Can not thank Julie enough, she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed while trying on dresses for the biggest day of my life 🤭 I’m not the most confident of people in these situations but I felt absolutely amazing after my first appointment and I even managed to show my family who won’t make it to the wedding thanks to Julie!! These ladies are fantastic!!! Thank you all so much xxx

I cannot believe that I found my perfect dress first time around! Julie was so helpful and really knew what style would suit me. She made me feel very relaxed as I was quite nervous at first. I loved every minute and didn’t want to take my chosen dress off!!! Cannot wait to get into it again. Thank you

Amazing place and people from first appointment to picking up the dress! I found my dream dress here! Julie is wonderful and helped to put me at ease, and she suggested other options one of which was the dress I picked. She also helped me when I asked about having the back of the dress I loved altered to suit me and make me feel comfortable!

What a special day! Mum and I have been driving past the shop for 14 years and assigned each of the window dresses to each other over the years! When the time came to finally choose a dress for a REAL wedding there was no other choice – it had to be Gatehouse.

Our nerves and anxious energy were scooped up and dealt with in the most professional way. We were made to feel so very special and the attention paid to the wedding itself, myself as a bride but also me as a person was just incredible. Needless to say we were guided to THE dress – something we would never have picked out on our own. These beautiful ladies certainly knew their stuff! Over the appointment they took time to get to know me and really dressed me as me. They set up the moment perfectly, got me in the dress and then stood at a safe distance throwing tissues while the tears flowed! It was the most special moment for mum and I in the 27 years since we were in that hospital and it really did bring back some beautiful memories between Mother and Daughter.

We cannot thank you enough for making the day more special than we could have imagined. We have not stopped looking at the dress since we left and are counting down to its arrival in the shop. We feel blessed to have shared such a beautiful journey with you. 14 years of reviewing and we finally have a favourite Gatehouse dress! Xx
