The consultant paid close attention to my requests, and pulled a number of different styles and qualities for me to try on.

I had a very mixed experience at Emma Roy. On the positive side, the range of wedding dresses they have in stock is unsurpassed and I can't thank the sales team enough for their help, they really were excellent. The alterations service, on the other hand, is a completely different kettle of fish and I had a truly terrible service from them. When I arrived for the second fitting of my dress, I was horrified to find that there were several dirty marks on it! I asked for it to be cleaned and... (read more)

Walked into the shop where we were told appointment only, but we're directed to the first floor to see if any assistants were free. Luckily Nuala was free, She asked me what style I had in mind, I told her I was open minded. With that she grabbed several dresses and asked that I look through to see any liked. The first one I tried on I absolutely loved, but she asked that I try on a few more. Having seen what had suited me she mentioned there had been a delivery that morning so suggested I... (read more)

I would never recommend Emma Roy to any bride. I made an appt to which i was left for 30 mins (whilst staff were on lunch) thats fine i had a look through the dress while another 4 brides entered the shop with friends/family. Wedding dress shopping should be an exclusive experience, not full shop with busy staff and being left. i called twice to ask for a dress to order in in which i received NO calls back, on my 3rd call to ask about the dress i was over quoted by £2100 ( since another...

I had so much fun choosing my dress and the girl helping me was really genuine and friendly and really helped me visualize my big day.

Can you please contact us directly to discuss this matter further? There has obviously been some mis-communication as we always strive to call back every customer with all queries within 24 hours. We are a large store and offer 6 seperate fitting rooms making shopping for your wedding gown busy but private never the less. Our stylists are all highly experienced and our buisness has been up and running for 27 years.
I can assure you that the previous quote you received from a different bridal store was wrong being £2100 cheaper is impossible for a dress you state to have been quoted £2100. This would make the dress free of charge.
Please do get in touch to rectify the matter.
