"Thank you so much for having an amazing store!!! My mother flew all the way from Canada to shop with me for a dress. Even going to those fancy uptight bridal stores *which only let you try on a few dresses that are all oversized. I was able to be free to shop in your store with my 2 aunts and mother!! What an amazing experience. Your selection was wonderful and I was able to find two dresses that I loved. Thanks to your shop helper she and my aunts helped pick out my Amazing Wedding Dress!! I bought the dress in May 2011 and didn't have my wedding in Canada till this August 7th. The dress was beautiful and fit like a glove :) Elegant, Designer and at the best Cost possible. All my friends can't believe it ;) Thank you so much for making me feel like a princess on my special day!!! xoxo Andrea Cruise"

"I came to Copplestones with my mum and my chief bridemaid yesterday. I didn't expect to buy a dress when it was my 1st visit to a bridal shop but I did! Angela left us to look at the dresses and to try on with no pressure. I picked out 4 dresses to try on (I really loved the 1st one I'd picked) & ended up only trying on 2 as I loved and felt just right with the 1st dress. Paula Rose August 2011.

"My friend the bride-to-be said to me 'we are going shopping for my dress' and this was the only place we ended up in. The first dress she tried on was made for her and it was a perfect fit we walked out with a dress that she will look perfect in on her wedding day. Thanks Angela.Anna Aquilina - Bridesmaid. August 2011.

Had my last fitting with Angela on Saturday and my dress is now safely stored away at home.I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone at Copplestones - it was a pleasure doing business with you all! I will recommend you to friends and will try to remember to post a pic on your Facebook page after the big day in January! Many thanks,Emma Love November 2011

I had a fab time Saturday morning! Thank you for your help Karen. Hope everybody else has as successful a visit as I did! x Clare Morgan 28th November 2011

"Just wanted to add my experience. Copplestones was perfect bridal shop for me absolutely no pressure but advice when I needed it. Was able to try on all styles and shapes and found the perfect Charlotte Balbier dress at a perfect price. If you're thinking of visiting Copplestones just do it.Clair McCormick August 2011.

"Dear All. Just wanted to write a personal thank you for the wonderful service and support you provided in the lead-up to my wedding. I recently got married at the end of April, after a whirlwind romance and less than a year's planning - and had the most perfect day ever. Now that the euphoria has settled and life has resumed a sense of normality, I'd like take the opportunity to thank Copplestones and Angela in particular, for a fantastic dress service from beginning to end. Having stumbled across the website by chance very early on in my search for the dress I ventured from London to Liverpool adamant I was going to find what I wanted, at a fraction of the usual price and I wasn't disappointed. I tried on about a dozen dresses and knew instantly when I eventually found 'the one', however different from what I'd expected it to be and six months later, I was able to combine two fittings with a hen weekend in Liverpool - which went down a treat. Angela was lovely from beginning to end, so warm, patient and understanding - the whole 'dress' thing was the easiest part of the entire process. And that's the honest truth!!!! Thank you again so much. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Copplestones to everyone getting married - it's a definite must. Donah June 2011.

"I came to Copplestones with my mum and daughter yesterday not knowing what to expect. I had read the feedback on the web page and it was all positive but I am sure like all the other brides to be you are still a bit apprehensive. I definitely did not expect to buy a dress but I did! I was left to try on 6 dresses with no pressure. Angela was lovely, so helpful and know's exactly what she is doing. Nothing is too much trouble for her. I am so thrilled with my dress and I will be going back for my fitting later on in the year. So like all the other comments that have been left, it is worth going and you will end up coming out with a dress!", - Justine Hardcastle, March 2011.

"I had already bought a wedding dress and then lost weight and really went off the design but couldnt afford another expensive dress. A previous customer of yours heard me explaining this dilema to my bridesmaid in the Trafford Centre and after explaining she could'nt help overhearing she thoroughly recommended Copplestones where not only had she but also her sister and friend bought dresses recently. As soon as I got home I emailed Copplestones and from then on the service I have recieved has been exceptional. Today I came to see you and after having the place almost to myself I found my dream dress, an Amanda Wyatt gown for a bargain £299! It is beautiful... stunning and I am so glad I went off the first dress I bought! Within hours I have told all my friends and will continue to do so! Thank you all so much (and to the stranger who recommended you!!!!)". - Jennifer Lyne, March 2011.

"I was absolutely thrilled with my experience at Copplestones. I have already recommended you to many friends and two of them have upcoming appointments booked. The service was great, just what I needed. I had all my bridesmaids with me so it was great to be given the space to go at our own speed, but when we needed help you were there to answer our questions. I must have tried on at least 10 dresses which shows you that there was plenty to choose from because I am quite picky! The prices are amazing. I was feeling really guilty at the prospect of spending up to a grand on one dress and was over the moon to get a dress for £299 which is a designer name and pure silk. Thank you very much for the service you provide. I'm over the moon with my purchase. Andrea Tootell, February 2011.

"I loved my experience and the staff were all very friendly. I heard about Copplestones by word of mouth from my photographers mother. There were a lot of dresses to choose from and am very happy with my selection. I loved the straight forward pricing, no mess, no fuss. I Would definitly recommend you to a friend. Thank you for making it easy to pick the most important item of my day". Christine Brooke-Matson, January 2011.

"I would like to thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable and hassle free experience. When me and my Mum arrived, we were allowed to browse in our own time and without pressure from sales people. I had found a lot of hard sell in other Bridal shops, with pushy women trying to tell me dresses looked gorgeous when I didn't feel right in them. Your advice and reassurance has been invaluable. You are helpful, but unintrusive and extremely patient. You have a fantastic selection of beautiful dresses and I was very lucky to find the dress of my dreams. What makes it even better are the amazing prices! I couldn't have justified spending the kind of money that Bridal shops are charging. This way, I have a gorgeous wedding dress that hasn't cost the Earth! I cannot wait to wear it when we get married in Vegas next year!! Thanks for everything".-Nicci Borrows, November 2010.

"Hello John and Angela, Myself and my daughter had a lovely day at Copplestones trying on loads of beautiful wedding dresses. There were so many to choose from! My daughter Eve chose a dress absolutley perfect for her. John was great... just let us get on with it, no pushy interference, just a lovely cup of tea...perfect. Angela is such a lovely person. She made the whole thing just right. Angela altered Eves dress very proffesionally and is so kind and committed to her job of looking after the brides. I have to say we visited some of the bigger posher bridal shops but they were nothing compared to the personal service we received at Copplestones. Thank you again. Jacqueline and Eve Naransingh, September 2010.

"Dear Mr Sibson, Myself and my daughter came to your bridal store recently to purchase the dress for her wedding next year in Florida. We came from Manchester and it was well worth the journey. We had already visited several bridal stores in Manchester and Cheshire and seen lots of overpriced dresses so were pleasantly suprised at the prices in your store plus the selection of dresses were fantastic. We didnt feel pressured at all, in fact, Angela told us to take as long as wewanted which made us relax and enjoy it. We eventually found the perfect dress and we are coming back after christmas so Angela can adjust it for the Florida beach!!! We were very pleased with the experience and I have already recommmended you to several other people".-Susan Shelmerdine, August 2010

"Angela was lovely, she was helpful and didnt make me feel rushed or pressured. I think your shop is fantastic, and I have already passed your name on to several brides to be. When I told my mum I was coming to your shop and as advertised all dresses were under £300, she said "oh it will only be about three dresses for that much and the rest will be hundreds"!! I was so impressed with all the dresses. I had been to around 7 shops before I came to your shop and must have tried on over 70 dresses and didnt find one!! I was begining to think I would never find one!! so I was over the moon when I found one I liked and more important one I could afford!!! Allison Armstrong, August 2010

"Hi this is to all you Brides to be out there. I want to let you know that I hate shopping and I dreaded the thought of having to traipse around the shops looking for my perfect wedding dress. Anyway I accidentally found Copplestones, made a quick call and made arrangements for me, my mum an sister-in-law to go over and try on a few dresses. When we got to the shop, much to my surprise I had the choice of so many styles and designs all under one roof. I was able to enjoy taking my time to get the right one, and I did. I was so impressed with the service as it was friendly helpful and relaxing shopping experience for something that can be so stressful. I have also directed two of my friends there and they both bought their dresses from Copplestones Bridal. Many thanks"-Vicky Doughty, August 2010

"I would recommend Copplestones Bridal to all my friends who are getting married. The shop was well laid out and there was a very good selection and style of dresses in my size. The seamstress was very helpful with advice on the dress I chose. I was given plenty of time and freedom to try on as many dresses as I liked. I found my perfect dress, thank you very much for all your help". - Vikki Marshall, August 2010

"I wanted to say a word of thanks Copplestones. I had contacted Copplestones for an appointment with little expectation that I would really find a dress. I had driven up from London with my mum, having seen a dress already, I did not expect anything to compare. Lovely Angela greeted us on arrival. The more we looked around, the more dresses we saw at a fraction of the prices I had considered paying. My mum loves to seek out a bargain and she certainly did last weekend! I have found "the dress". I knew as soon as put it on. Its lovely and at £299 a lot less than the 3k I was looking to pay. I would reccomend ALL brides to go and have a look. The staff are great, the environment is simple and fuss free and theres plenty of choice. YOU JUST HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO HAVE A GOOD LOOK. Thank you to Angela and John!" - Helen Melia, May 2010

"I found my whole experience at Copplestones very relaxing and enjoyable" - Laura-Jayne Hobson, May 2010

"I would like to say a BIG thank you for helping me find my Wedding dress - you were the first and only bridalwear store I visited and you have saved my so much time and effort! I was very nervous about shopping for a Wedding dress because I am not in my eyes a 'perfect 10' (or even a 'perfect 12 or 14'), however after a little time spent browsing beautiful dresses I did indeed find my 'perfect dress' and I am now very excited rather than nervous about getting to wear it. The thing I most liked about the experience was that you were left to look at the dresses without being pressured, but when I was ready to ask for advice John was a huge help and very easy to get along with. The quality of my dress is stunning, a new designer dress for less than £300 is exceptional value. I have already recommended 3 people to go to Copplestones Bridal Basement so that must say something!"-Tabitha Marshall(soon to be Wakley) April 2010

"I just want to say a huge thank you for helping me with my dress on Saturday. I can't believe I was so worried beforehand but you just took the stress away. I still can't believe I've got the dress I wanted after seeing it on the internet. You are just left to roam and look at your leisure and you can try on as many as you want although I had my eye on one in particular (which is the one I bought). I can and will definately recommend you to any future bride. Thank you for the service both my mum and I received" - Paula McKechnie, March 2010

"My experience at Copplestones couldn't have been better; friendly staff, a great selection of dresses and unbetable prices. It was great to be left to browse at our own leisure and it didn't take me long to find my dream dress. Thank you Copplestones!" - Suzi Cope, March 2010

"I would like to thank you for the wonderful service that was provided, when I found the internet site I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The shop is bright and well laid out, there is so much to choose from and to be given the opportunity to look without being followed around by someone made the experience very positive. Of course the prices are fantastic and the dresses are beautiful and I would recommend the shop to any future brides and I cannot wait to wear my dress next year, thank you once again" - Libby Ellis, Feburary 2010

"What a bargain £299. I couldnt believe the choice of dresses, help yourself at your own pace with no fuss and no sales assistants following you around. I cant wait to wear it on the 1st September 2010 getting married in Cyprus, Ill be sure to send you a few photos, Thanks again for all your help" - Michelle, Northern Ireland, Febuary 2010.

"Just wanted to say a huge thanks for eveything with the dress. It's perfect and it looks beautiful" - Sarah Rendon, January 2010

"An excellent choice with a fantastic range of sizes and styles. I could not believe my dress has only cost me £299 and it's absolutely beautiful. The service was brilliant. My mum and I were left to look at dresses and try loads on and were not mithered by a pushy shop assistant. I will definately recommend Copplestones to my unmarried friends" - Lydia Cunningham, October 2009

"Hi john. I would just like to thank you for the wonderful dress my future daughter in law Danielle bought from you last week, she is absouloutley thrilled with it. Danielle had seen the same dress and tried it on in some of the bridal shops but did'nt think she could afford to pay the price they were asking and then she got the same dress from you at a fraction of the cost. We are telling everyone we know whos getting married to come to you!! We wish you did mother of the bride outfits aswell! Thanks once again" - Gill Taylor, June 2009

"Many Thanks for all your help purchasing my gorgeous wedding dress. For such a good price I was expecting a catch but was extremely pleased with how welcoming and helpful you all were. It was refreshing to be able to try on as many dresses as I liked and found the whole experience extremely enjoyable, my mum enjoyed it too! I will definitely be recommending your shop to all my bride to be friends. Thanks for helping me save a fortune, I may be able to have a gorgeous budget wedding after all. Thanks again" - Alison Jones, June 2009

"I just wanted to write and send a HUGE thankyou for making 'wedding dress day' so easy and enjoyable. I purchased my dream dress on 11th May and I am still in love with it! A friend recommended you to me and I was a little unsure when I visited the website...too good to be true came to mind. I was wrong :) I am the proud owner of a beautiful white dress by Raylia for £299 and after seeing it on the website, I never imagined I would walk in and find it waiting for me!! The dress will be perfect for my Las Vegas wedding in October this year...Any brides to be should see Copplestones first. - Soon to be Mrs Helen Harling, May 2009

"I would like to thank you again for your very kind welcome, myself and Karen truly enjoyed our time finding my perfect dress…I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to wearing it on the Big Day!" - Desiree Dreessen, June 2009

"Thanks to you we were able to keep to keep to our budget and I was able to have my dream dress thanks to Copplestones. Thanks again" Mr and Mrs Michael Jackson (I kid you not)

"My weddng dress arrived this morning - it is fabulous and fits perfectly!! I would like to thank you and your team for all your help and advice from the very first e-mail to date, you have all been absolutely brilliant, it has been a pleasure dealing with you. If the rest of my wedding goes as well as my transaction with you I will be the happiest bride in the world!! - Lorraine Bubb, May 2009

"If you're like me and find normal bridal shops too overbearing, Copplestones Bridal Basement is definitely for you! You can go in and browse at your leisure and don't have to put up with a store cleark constantly giving you their opinions. John, the owner, is very helpful. He even agreed when I asked if I could take a removable part of one dress and pair it up with another dress! With the Credit Crunch in full swing, you can't afford NOT to at least peruse the hundreds of dresses available!" - Mary Linnell, March 2009

"I went into Copplestones a little apprehensive as I had no idea what kind of dress I wanted and hadn't been into any bridal shops. I went with a bridesmaid and we received a very warm welcome. I tried every style going and eventually found the perfect dress for me at £299. I really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere with absolutely no pushy sales. I'd recommend to anyone! Thank you very much." - Lucy Hull, February 2009

"Thank you very much for an extremely stress free experience! It was just so nice to be able to try on as many wedding dresses as I liked at my own pace with the help of my friends without any sales pressure from staff. After trying on many different styles I found my dream dress. Although with so many styles to choose from it wouldn't be hard to find what you looking for, at affordable prices, unlike my local bridal empoiums in North Wales. Thanks again for my beautiful dress" - Ann Parry, Mynydd Isa (mold) getting married in August 2009

"I can highly recommend Copplestones for a relaxed and pleasurable shopping experience! I found the perfect dress and at a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend Copplestones as the place to start looking for a wedding dress and it might also be the only place you need to look as there is an extensive choice of dresses all at fantastic prices. There's no hard sell and you can try on as many dresses as you like, so book your appointment today!" - Alison Bowers, January 2009

"I wasnt sure what to expect from my visit to the Copplestones Bridal. I had read the comments and thought I might as well go along and at least see what there is...When you get inside and its like a wedding dress wonderland! There are so many dresses, so many sizes, so many colours and so many styles! My mother in law to be and I set about looking at the dresses... we found a couple I loved. The choice and service was great! There was no rush, no pressure and no sales person pushing you. We had a great experience at the Bridal Basement and I've already recommended Copplestones to another bride to be! My mother in law thought John made a great cup of tea too. Thank you for a great wedding dress buying experience!" - Sam Hopper, January 2009.

"Hello to all future brides considering visiting 'The Bridal Basement'. My name is Cath and I have recently purchased a wedding dress from 'Copplestones'. How did I hear about the place? From a magazine in a hotel in Warrington at my friends wedding. When I read John was selling designer wedding dresses from £99 to £249 I thought it was too good to be true...maybe a spoof...so I checked the website, registered and was invited to go and view the dresses. The Bridal Basement showroom was located just on the edge of the town centre up a side street so I wasnt expecting to find 'the dress' but after trying on about two dozen, I found it!!!! After five months of searching I found it!!! It was bigger than I thought I'd get and prettier than I'd seen in any other bridal shop, a damn sight cheaper too. The money I saved is going towards building my home. So what advice can I give you? Go for it! Just go! You might not find the wedding dress you want but there is every wedding dress under the sun and John is very helpful. Make sure you take a trusted member of your wedding team to help you out and give it a go! I know three people I've told about Copplestones who are getting married next year. Get there before they do!" - Catherine Morrison - September 2008. Getting married 8th May 2009.

"Thank you for my time in the shop. Im so glad ive found my dream wedding dress at a good price.....I can't wait to wear it again!" - Amanda Armitage, Huddersfield, September 2008, Eloping to Cyprus.

"I found my dream dress at Copplestones. The quality and range of wedding dresses is fantastic and you can try on as many as you want. I would totally recommend Copplestones to any bride to be!" - Natalie Jones, September 2008.

"Plenty of choice. I have recommened Copplestones to everyone I know" - Natalia Lara, Northern Ireland, September 2008.

"The price are fantastic, who can complain about dresses from £99 to £249. Hundereds of dresses to choose from, It was like being a child in a sweet shop. No hassle and no pushy sales people! All in all, my mum and I had a fun time.... I found the perfect dress at the first and last place I looked. I cant thank John enough and will be sending in pictures of my snowy wedding" - Lucie Jones, Preston, October 2008. Getting hitched in Lapland December 2008.

"Before visiting your "shop" I was a bit worried, as the wedding day was getting closer, and in the few months I spent looking for a dress, I could not find even one to meet all my expectations. I live in Chester, and there are a few nice shops there, but I didn't like them for 2 reasons: first of all the prices were really high, and even though I agree that the wedding day is special and you need to spend some money on the dress, I feel that £1000 is way too much. Secondly, I like to take my time when choosing a dress, and have my privacy, and in the shops I visited I was very intimidated by the fact that the shop assistant would watch me all the time, even if with the intention of being helpful. Now, the experience I had with Copplestones was completely different. John was were very helpful and nice all along. The choice of dresses in my size was just amazing (probably about 30) and they were all just beautiful. I did try all of them on in my own time, with my 2 friends there with me and that was great fun! The atmosphere was very nice, chatting with other brides-to-be while trying the dresses on. I ended up buying the first one I tried on, and I am very happy with my choice. The most expensive dress in your shop was £249 and the thought that you can actually afford to buy any dress you see there iis very nice. To sum up, I had a great day, ended up buying a very beautiful and initially expensive dress at a price that I am happy to spend for a wedding dress. I would certainly recommend you to my friends and actually I am going to......there are a few getting married next year" - Ana-Maria Avram, Chester, October 2008. Getting married in Romania, November 2008.

"I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for helping my find my perfect dress. The pricess are amazing. My wedding dress is a Raylia Designs and worth between £700 and £900 and I got it for just £249. You can browse through at your own leisure without being pestered by shop assistants like in other bridal shops. The range was huge and there was plenty to choose from in all sizes. I would definitely recommend a friend, I'm so glad I visited Copplestones Bridal Basement." - Rebecca Clayton, Liverpool, October 2008

"Its great going into a shop knowing you can try on every wedding dress without having to check the price tag first. Loads of wedding dresses to choose from, we spent ages going through the rails of dresses. I would definitely recommend to a friend" - Yvonne Baxendale, Liverpool, October 2008

"I thought the prices were brilliant....the labels showing the original retail price made me feel like I was getting a real bargain. I have already recommended the Bridal Basement to my friends in work" - Victora Lewis, October 2008

"Hi John, I just wanted to say thank you for so much for my beautiful dress. There were hundereds of dresses to choose from catering to all different sizes and shapes....It was my idea of heaven. You left my 'mother in law to be' and I in peace to try on as many wedding dresses as I liked without being pressured or pushed by a sales assistant or rushed into making any decisions. We were both in our element surrounded by rails and rails of dresses. I have been put off in other bridal shops by being made to feel like a time waster if I didnt find 'the one' I certainly didnt feel like that in Copplestones. My dress is absolutely fabulous and I am so pleased I visited Copplestones. I got an amazing dress that I would have otherwise not been able to afford. I would definitely recommend Copplestones Bridal Basement to a friend or anyone who is getting married!!!" - Jenni Howard, October 2008, getting hitched in Lockerbie July 2008.

"I thought the prices were amazing. I was worried it would be a bit like a jumble sale but found the experience similar to that of a bridal shop. There were plenty of wedding dresses to choose from and all the dresses were immaculate unlike dresses at a travelling bridal sale. I would definately recommend you to anyone on a budget who is not willing to compromise on style" - Sarah Thompson, October 2008.

"I had a fantastic time on Saturday and will definately be recommending you to other brides to be! The range of wedding dresses is extensive and the freedom to try on as many gowns as I wanted without being pushed to buy. I am on quite a tight budget, the price was fantastic...I am really happy with my dress! I came looking for a big fancy dress and although I tried on many in the style I had initially wanted I opted for a simple, elegant design by Amanda Wyatt. My advice to future visitors...try on as many styles as you can. You never know a dress might be ''the one'' until you've tried it on!" - Kelly Potempa, Chester, November 2008.
