Cora was so patient & understanding when helping me choose my perfect dress. She made me feel at ease throughout the whole process from the day I booked my 1st appointment to the day I said "yes to the dress". Cora explained how everything worked, from the ordering of the dress, to the details of the seamstress I would need for the finer details when the dress arrives in store, even helped me with ideas for my hair & for the best length of veil for the dress style I have chosen. Just fabulous! Would recommend this boutique to anyone looking for a 1st class 1 to 1 service and of course beautiful

I had an amazing experience with Louise at Castle Couture. Then selection of dresses were amazing and I feel there is something for every bride among the selection. Louise was very professional, while being very warm which put my nerves at bay. It was a very relaxing experience that I had not experienced at other shops and I would highly recommend Castle Couture to any bride, especially if it is your first appointment.

I don’t normally write reviews but I am so in love with my dress and I honestly couldn’t have been happier with the service from Cora at Castle Couture. From the first phone to call to book an appointment, the girls were all so lovely. I had a specific dress that I really wanted to try on and Cora and Louise spoke to the designer and sourced it from a store in England to have it flown over.
On arrival at the store we were greeted with champagne and Cora took the time to find out what I was looking for in my wedding dress and alleviate my nerves. As any bride to be will know getting your wedding

I finally got to wear my Suzanne Neville dress a few weeks ago after a few covid delays. The team at castle couture were amazing and made the process of finding the perfect dress so relaxing and enjoyable. All the dresses in the store are beautiful and amazing quality. The team were really knowledgeable and helpful and there was no pressure. I went back twice before deciding on the dress (even though it was the first dress I first screenshot when I started the hunt). The team also helped with some adjustments I wanted to make to the dress and kept my dress safe when I couldn’t get home to pick

The most amazing bridal shop in Northern Ireland!!
While on the hunt for 'the' dress, a friend had told me to go to Castle Couture because it was such a beautiful bridal shop...this was so true. From the beautiful exterior to the music and bridal videos playing as you entered and not to mention the very friendly staff...everything was perfect. The bridal room upstairs was gorgeous with plenty of room to look at all the dresses and walk around in whatever dresses you chose to try on. Both Laura and Marie were so helpful and pleasant at every stage! They really took the time to get to know you and

Well what can I say about castle couture other than it is the most amazing experience. I had previously been to 2 other bridal shops before going to castle couture. Both experiences before had been very disappointing and I was giving up hope of finding my dream dress. I made an appointment and wasn't overly fussed on going, on arrival I was welcomed with the biggest smile from Marie. She took us in and brought us up to the bridal suite! Wow it's so beautiful!! She asked what style I was after and listened to what I had to say. She then began picking dresses and letting me browse the rail. We had

I had such a short timescale of 3 months before my wedding, just having got engaged! Everywhere I contacted told me I needed at least a year! I loved the dresses I'd seen in adverts for Castle Couture and decided to contact them. They told me to come ahead and they would see what they could do for me! I loved the setting of the shop, it is so private and beautiful atmosphere. They were able to tell me which designers might be able to make a dress on time. I tried on a few dresses but the first one I tried was perfect for my second time around wedding Laura made a phone call to Suzanne Neville in
