I had my wedding two weeks ago and everyone commented on how beautiful and perfect my dress was for me. Thank you to all the team at Elizabeth J Bridal for helping me choose my dream dress :) The team were very patient and friendly and were very prompt with all communication replies. I would highly recommend this bridal shop.

I made an appointment to view Bridal dresses.
Via email. Elizabeth James responded to my email promptly.
I arrived on the day of my appointment to a lovely warm welcome.
I was the only person in store at that time. I shown how to navigate around store with their numerous dresses and then left to look around at my own leisure. I was given a rail to put all the dresses I like on it. The member of staff who was assigned to me was there on hand throughout the whole time. Very helpful and friendly and ready to give honest advice if asked.
Found the whole experience fun and enjoyable and comfortable

Chose my wedding dress here last month and loved the entire experience. I was so well looked after and had the entire shop to myself, which was incredible! The dresses are of the highest quality and the commitment of the staff is amazing! I was not rushed and supported through what was a difficult decision! Thank you so much! I cannot wait to come back and get my beautiful gown!!
Update: picked up my wedding dress today and could not be happier with my dress but also the service! Jacquie was amazingly attentive and nothing was too much trouble for her. I had plenty of time to work out the extras

I came to the Elizabeth James Bridal store after searching for a particular dress (which they had in stock) And went just to try that one dress only. The whole experience was calming and chill which is exactly what I needed as my nerves can sometimes get the better of me. I ended up trying various dresses on due to feeling relaxed once trying the initial dress to beat on. I ended up falling in love with a stunning ballgown and felt 100% positive about my final choice. It was a nice experience and not once did I feel conscious about my body or how I looked, I was made to feel beautiful and extremely

The dresses are particularly dated in this store, not keeping up with modern trends or the latest designers at all. In addition, we were questioned about our budget initially, whilst not really having a budget...the saleswoman didn’t understand. Then the saleswoman was obsessed at mentioning the cost and the price and the expense with every dress. We wanted to focus on the dresses, not the money. I described the type of dress I wanted in detail and at length, and was first told I clearly didn’t know what I wanted or have a clear vision. Secondly told what I wanted was impossible. Well, I’ve

Such a fantastic bridal shop! There is a huge selection of beautiful dresses in the shop. I went to try dresses for the first time this weekend and had an excellent experience. Jacquie was really patient in helping me try on dresses, and made great suggestions of styles to try based on what suited me, and elements we had liked on earlier dresses. I was nervous before going to the shop but actually really enjoyed the experience, didn't feel pushed and came away having chosen a dress that I adore! Thanks so much
