Testimonials

I had such an incredible experience at Astra Bridal Newmarket! I first visited during their annual sale to try on a few styles. Although I didn’t find the one that day, Brooke was absolutely amazing—so helpful, patient, and genuinely lovely throughout the whole visit.

A couple of weeks later, I came back with one particular dress in mind. It turned out to be the perfect day! Brooke listened so carefully to everything I liked and didn’t like based on dresses I’d tried elsewhere and helped me pull some beautiful options. She completely understood my vision, and with her help, I found the one—a dress I didn’t expect but absolutely fell in love with.

I was shopping alone, with my mum on FaceTime from the UK, and Brooke went above and beyond to make it special. She gave my mum a full tour and showed her all the angles so she could feel like she was right there with me. It honestly meant so much.

The whole experience was just amazing. I left absolutely buzzing and so excited to wear my dress! I can’t recommend Brooke and the team enough—they made what could have been a nerve-wracking process feel joyful, relaxed, and truly special. Thank you so much!

I had Khym help me with the fitting and she was an absolute star! It couldn’t have gone any better, especially considering I was super nervous! They are all so lovely there and very helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend to all brides to shop there :)

These ladies are amazing! Khym had such great energy—honest and so helpful. She let me try on so many different dresses and gave her opinion, which led me to finding my dream dress. Thank you so much, ladies. xx

Had a great experience with the lovely Sarah. She helped my beautiful best friend find the perfect dress for her wedding day. Sarah was super friendly, had a great eye for detail, and really enhanced the overall experience. I highly recommend Astra Bridal. Not only do they have a wide range of dresses to choose from, but they also have a passionate team who can help you along the way. Sarah, from Patricia and the family, we thank you for your wonderful service! You are such a gem, and I hope to see you in the near future. <3

The team was incredibly warm and welcoming. They instantly made me and my sister feel comfortable and at ease. Their creativity, attention to detail, and thoughtful suggestions were exactly what I needed. They really took the time to listen to what she was looking for and made the whole experience so special and stress-free. She truly felt supported every step of the way, and I couldn't be more grateful. As her sister, they made her feel so welcome and special, which is what she always wanted. Even as the sister, they always made me feel welcome, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a bridal dress.

I would absolutely recommend Astra Bridal to any bride to be. The team is so helpful and welcoming, and very knowledgeable, which is exactly what you want! Brooke was amazing and made me feel as if I were the only bride to be in the world.

My experience at Astra Bridal Newmarket was phenomenal. Ilyese, you are a star! The patience, knowledge, determination, and kindness you show in the way you approach and support your brides to be is outstanding.

I’m so grateful for the many visits I had at Astra before we finally found my dress. I definitely looked around, but I kept coming back to Astra Bridal Newmarket because I knew Ilyese had my best interests at heart and truly wanted to help me find the perfect dress.

We searched high and low, and Ilyese was willing to do anything to find what made me feel amazing, and we got there! I'm beyond grateful for the team here, especially Ilyese.

I highly recommend this beautiful bridal shop. In my opinion, the dresses and the service are miles ahead of all the other shops I visited in Auckland!

I recently booked in for the 90 minute stylist consultation at Astra Bridal Newmarket. The service was absolutely outstanding. Ilyese was so experienced and amazing to deal with. It was my first time trying on any dresses, and she helped me find the perfect one. She also made my family feel really included in the process. I couldn’t recommend Ilyese and this store enough.

I cannot recommend Astra Bridal Newmarket enough—the lovely Ilyese was absolutely incredible. She was attentive, kind, gave expert advice, and is truly knowledgeable and honest. She made this the most beautiful experience, made us laugh, and ensured we had a fantastic time overall! This is THE place to go for your wedding dress. Five stars! <3

I cannot thank Khym enough for helping me find my dream wedding dress! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel so welcome, comfortable, and truly heard. The whole experience was absolutely perfect, stress-free, enjoyable, and full of excitement. I found my dream dress, and it made me incredibly happy and excited. It was everything I had ever hoped for and more.

Khym’s friendly approach, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. I couldn’t have imagined a better experience and will be recommending her to so many of my friends.
