Churchwood Bridal

Huge dress selection. The girls are sooo helpful and extremely honest with style selection. I had the best experience. Found my dress first day first shop !

I was super nervous going in to find my wedding dress, as id had not so great experiences with other bridal shops in the south Taranaki area, but Louise and her worker (I apologize for forgetting her name) were both absolutely wonderful, Including staying open late more than once to accommodate me. They asked all the right questions and made me feel super comfortable in general. Beatiful dresses, classy store and friendly helpful staff, I could not have asked for a better experience. Thankyou so much ladies at Churchwood!

I went to Churchwood Bridal with my mother when I was first looking for a dress after getting engaged. We were told that I was "too young" ( i was 24 yrs) and "didn't know if I was actually getting married yet"! They didn't want to bother letting me look at any because they didn't want me to "returning it later on". Walked out shocked and emotional. Terrible first dress experience, and I lost all excitement about searching for a dress. Eventually went to Hamilton to find one as I couldn't bring myself to return. Hope this hasn't happened to anyone else! *in response to your questions regarding when we visited, it was early 2020 and we didn't have an appointment, we were dropping into the store to make first contact and hopefully arrange an appointment. I don't remember who served us, there were 2 women there, but I'm not even sure they gave us their names. ** Totally agree that a review at the time would have been more helpful, however I'm sure you can understand that the experience left me very upset and in order to move on and get excited about finding a gown I needed to put it out of my mind for a while. I do not appreciate the accusatory implications of some of your response though, seems as though you are going to just deny it. That's fine, I understand. Just hope that this experience never happens again to anyone else! Cheers, Georgie

Churchwood Boutique has an excellent selection of wedding gowns to fulfil many dreams. The space is a perfect balance of bright and airy, cosy and comfy, with natural lighting and plenty of charm. What makes the experience so wonderful though, is the people. Louise and Hannah actively listen to your ideas and hopes, they are respectful and empathetic and make you feel really special. I never felt pressured or rushed and they answered every question (twice when I forgot I'd asked already haha). The clear communication makes it easy to feel confident in your final decision... It just so happens that I fell in love with my dream gown on the very first try and in the one and only shop I visited. Who knew it could be so easy? Thank you ladies for your making the whole process such a joy! x
