I would highly recommend the bridal house in Leeds! Their dresses are top quality and the service is even better. I went to many different shops whilst looking for my dress and hands down without a doubt was the best by far. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and made me and my mum feel very welcome. The alteration service is brilliant. I would highly recommend them, defiantly worth a visit. (read more)

Merle and her team are fantastic. The service I got was first class. I am 49yrs old and was a bit worried that the shop would be full of young brides, that was not the case at all. They went out of their way for me and my bridesmaids. I was thrilled with my dress they let me take as much time as I wanted when I was choosing. I would urge anyone looking for a wedding dress to pay them a visit Jayne in Lincoln (read more)

Well what a waste of time! I walked into this place today, and was practically ushered back out the door. She asked when the wedding was, to which I replied 2014, at which point she lost complete interest, told me that all the dresses will change in that time etc, and that I need an appointment anyway. Firstly, fair enough of the appoinment front. This is my first time, and I'm not quite sure of how it all works, so I can understand that. However she then went of to say essentially, to...

Had the exact same experience last week... getting married in august next year (2013) and like you ushered out of the door and told to look at their website for ideas online when i only wanted a browse an idea of styles. walked round to berketex that is just located on the corner and they couldnt do enough for me it didnt matter that i didnt have an appointment they fussed around me and i ended up falling in love with my dream dress and put a deposit down straightaway to me choosing your dress is the most exciting part before the actual day and to be treated so rudly is embarrassing. There are ways of talking to people and bridal house to me need training on their customer service skills....

no dear I dont think so we are not in the habit of ushering people out of the door not true we allways ask you to make appointments if you dont have one but we cant fit people in on busy days no matter how we try if the book is full we are not perfect but certainly we are not rude.

You do not have a comment or card from this bride, therfore it should be easy to identify me. The damage has been done, and there is nothing you can do to rectify it. However I hope you have improved your standards and I wish you all the best if this is the case.
