What a fantastic shop, nothing is any trouble for them so very friendly and helpful can't praise them enough. Our wedding day was made more magical by all the effort that Melvin at Strides made. He was an absolute star the whole way through. I met him at Ringwood Hall hotel wedding farye. He was creative and able to visualise and make my ideas come to life.
The run up to the most special day of your life can be an extremely stressful time for you and your beloved pets. Your dog will stay the night in my household and have a good nights sleep ready for the big day. After your breakfast at the hotel, a phone call is to be made and I will happily return your dog at a required time and wait in reception.

The lady went out of her way to help me. Was patient and supportive and have me time to pay for the dress. I also appreciated her honesty. She acknowledged when dresses didn't suit me and in the end we both agreed on the perfect dress. I'm a black woman and sometimes got subtle hints sometimes when attendants were impatient, never experienced that at Strides. Would recommend her 200%

We met Strides at a wedding fayre at Ringwood Hall and instantly knew we wanted to work with Melvin - he is so friendly and organised and nothing is too much trouble! We went to our meeting to discuss details at the shop in Chesterfield and Melvin put together exactly what we had in mind - his expertise also helped us in making decisions about things we hadn't even considered! My fiancé hadn't chosen his suit yet, so Melvin also helped him to put together the perfect wedding outfit with all the most beautiful details. Strides organised all our suits for the groom, groomsmen and fathers and the

Strides are brilliant! Firstly I met Melvin, he was really helpful and made arrangements for me to meet Jill.
I turned up at the appointment time and the dresses I had shown interest in were on a rail ready for me. I spent 2 hours trying on dresses ,the ones I had chosen and some Jill thought I might like.
I had my Mum with me and they were brilliant with her, even made her a cup of tea.
Jill found a dress, I tried it on and it was definitely,YES to the dress.
I would recommend them to everyone. first class service.

I would just like to state that the staff at the store are incredibly helpful and the dresses are well made (Subject to the issues I am about to come to...) and as long as you are aware of the problems I experienced they are incredibly good quality.
My fiancee arranged for her bridesmaid dresses to be done by Strides and at the time we were made aware that if Strides took the measurements they would be responsible for getting the dresses as close and any minor adjustments might be handled elsewhere.
