Professional service with a smile! Thanks Nikki for achieving just what I wanted with the alterations to my dress and for being happy to do any tweaks necessary to get it just right. A great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to get future alterations done by Fairytale Occasions.

Nikki did a lovely job of fixing my wedding dress which was a touch see through. She worked some magic and added a lining that means it’s good as new. She also took up a couple of bridesmaids dresses for me last year and did a great job. Thanks Nikki

We have been here before a few years ago needing alterations to Wedding dress and Bridesmaids dresses. We received very friendly and professional service, in a nice comfortable environment. Therefore returning as we have another Bride in the family. Very quick service, excellent workmanship, lots of dresses and accessories to choose from as well. Many thanks. Would definitely recommend!

It was fate from the beginning. I met Nikki at a fair at the STEAM museum and took a photo of what was ultimately my dress before even speaking to Nikki. Nikki made feel at ease about lead time for dresses, having off the peg options and order in options with very reasonable lead times. Inviting my future mother and sister in law, it just so happened to be where my future sister in law got her dress ten years ago - I had no idea! The shopping appointment went smoothly. Nikki made me feel very welcome and at ease, no rushing us to make a decision and it was all calm. Parking just outside (which was free at time of writing) and a wine bar next door also a lovely touch! I tried on a good selection of beautiful dresses and Nikki’s insight was really helpful, the dresses she suggested really helping me narrow down what I liked. I love that when I go back for fitting and alterations, it will be Nikki doing it as well. Excited to browse the accessories too. A real one stop shop and could not recommend enough.

We visited today with my daughters for my youngest daughters prom dress. We had a lovely time and you were so patient, helping my daughter select her dress. She chose her dress and was over the moon with her experience. She actually said how lovely you are and she won’t forget this special time. Thank you so much.

From the minute I met Nicola at my appointment, she made me feel so comfortable and was so welcoming. She let me try on as many dresses as I wanted, whilst suggesting ways that dresses could be altered to fit in with what I wanted. I did find the perfect dress, which was a little too small, but as I'm determined to lose weight, but even if I don't, Nicola has suggested ways that it can be altered to fit. An added bonus to a lovely afternoon were the complimentary cupcakes. Thank you Nicola!

What a lovely shop. There are lots of dresses to try and the owner is also a seamstress which makes alterations so much easier. She made the whole experience really lovely for my daughter. Definitely worth a visit for dresses, accessories or jewellery.

Thank you so much Nikki. Not only did you do a beautiful job altering my wedding dress to fit me perfectly but you also took up my husband to be’s suit trousers and made a gorgeous cushion cover out of the dress my mother in law would have worn to our wedding had she still been with us today. You did it so beautifully and it means a lot to us to be able to have that with us on our special day. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for any type of alteration / seamstress service. Thanks again! xx

Thank you so so much Nikki for altering both of my wedding dresses - I couldn't have been happier with them! My day dress especially was quite an undertaking but you never balked or gave the impression it was difficult which I really appreciated! Thank you for always being happy to take it up another inch or make more tweaks and making sure I was completely comfortable before I took them. Your new premises are fab too! Take care and see you soon with my next alteration needs!

Very pleased with my Wedding dress experience, from the first appointment in choosing a dress, to the several fittings, all were handled professionally and courteously. Nikki was very helpful and put my mind at rest, despite several alterations that I requested.

I brought my dress during COVID 3 years ago and had the best experience! After trying a dress on that I fell in love with, it was kindly held back until I could pay the deposit. The alterations I had closer to the day, were done perfectly! Couldn't fault the service at all!

I took my daughter to your boutique to find a prom dress. We had no idea what we were looking for. But that didn't seem to matter. You greeted and welcomed us in. Totally putting us at ease. You allowed my daughter to look through your rails and try on anything she liked. Some just to try on for colours, some for the style. You were so friendly , attentive and supportive. No rush, and no pushy selling, It really was just about finding the right dress. Finally when it all came together. It was wonderful. My daughter looked beautiful. This was a really special experience and I think it will always be a happy memory. One that we also got to share with my daughter's nan and grandma. Thank you.

Thank you for my daughters prom dress. A fantastic service, alterations were perfect. Your help and guidance made us get the perfect dress. My daughter loved it thanks.

Nikki is a one person designing goddess! My daughter had the most beautiful bespoke prom dress made and no detail or alteration or request was too much trouble. From the choice of fabric, detailing and material that was friendly on the skin. Honestly she is the best and by far out shines many of the other bridal shops with her unique and personalised approach. A project I was really concerned would not meet expectations completely blew the end result out of the water! Thank you so much x

I was not really looking forward to Prom Dress shopping, but Nikki helped make it an enjoyable experience. My daughter tried on as many dresses as she wanted at her initial appointment. There was no rush and no pressure. Pleased to say H found her dream dress which she received many compliments on. Thank you for all your professional help and assistance.

Jess was made to feel very special during her appointments, this helped with her confidence and she was therefore beaming at her prom. Jess received so many compliments on her dress, it was different to the norm, she looked amazing. Alterations were fantastic, thank you so much for everything! Great service from start to finish.

I took my daughter’s wedding dress to be taken in to Fairytale Occasions and from the first booking experience through two dress fitting sessions, we found the service and workmanship to be excellent. Each step was thoroughly explained and stage payments made at each fitting. Thank you so much for a wonderful job - we can’t wait to show the dress off at the wedding in June ??

Highly recommend Fairytale Occasions and the owner Nikki, who went above and beyond, to give me the best experience! The dresses were all absolutely beautiful! Nikki was so helpful and lovely, she really made me feel at ease. I have already recommended her to all my family and friends.

Nikki did the alterations to my wedding dress. She listened to my worries about the dress and suggested the suitable alterations! I was much happier with the overall shape of the dress once several layers of netting were removed and the neckline was slightly altered. I would recommend to any brides-to-be!
