I had the most incredible experience at Astra Bridal North Shore. There were a few wedding dress stores I tried on dresses at prior to this, as I am really picky with the style of dress I wanted, and I never found the right one. Joannah made me feel really comfortable, listened to what I loved in a dress, and made the appointment feel very personal and special. I walked away super happy, having found my dream dress!
Highly recommend Astra Bridal and Joannah for her expertise. Thank you again, and I can’t wait to wear it on my special day!

I had the most magical experience finding my wedding dress, and I can’t recommend this place enough. A very special thank you to Joannah, who truly went above and beyond to make the whole experience so special.
I visited during the week, which meant it was a little quieter, and Joannah gave me so much time, care, and attention. As it was my first time ever trying on wedding dresses, I was naturally a little nervous, especially when it came to the price! But she made me feel completely at ease and made sure I was able to try on everything I wanted, and was super transparent about the cost and everything else involved.
It was also my last time trying on dresses because we found the dream one on the day! Joannah made the whole experience feel so magical, not just for me but for my mum as well. It’s a memory I’ll treasure forever.
Thank you for being so patient with us, Joannah! I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for their wedding dress, and especially Joannah, for making it such a perfect and unforgettable experience.

Could not fault the experience I had with the team at Astra Bridal Northshore, especially Joannah. Before my appointment, I was dreading dress shopping, but the professionalism and care Joannah showed made me feel so confident in myself and in the decision I made. I ended up choosing the complete opposite type of dress from what I had originally envisioned, but it was such a fun day; even my mum and bridesmaids were stunned at how fun it was.
Being based in Tauranga, the team kept the dress safe until I was able to get back up to collect it. As it was an off the rack gown, Joannah went over the dress thoroughly to ensure there were minimal to no imperfections, which gave me complete confidence in my purchase.
