Brooke

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 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.

The ladies at Astra Bridal (Brooke in particular) were absolutely lovely throughout the entire appointment. Having a consultation beforehand made me feel so comfortable walking in, like I was seeing an old friend! Brooke made sure all my options were discussed and ready to go, explaining everything clearly and ensuring I felt comfortable throughout the process.

I had my eyes set on one of their dresses for two years, and to my luck, they had it in stock and kept it aside for me. (Although every dress was gorgeous and definitely made it hard to choose!) Brooke was an absolutely beautiful, kind, and patient wahine who made the appointment all the more special, along with the free nibbles and bottomless mimosas!

I ended up purchasing my dream dress on the day with the help of all the lovely ladies at reception. Everyone was so kind to my whānau and me. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Recommend 11/10. PLEASE COME HERE!!!!
