Testimonials

I would personally like to pass on my most grateful thanks for the assistance you gave me whilst looking for a Mother of the Bride outfit. Your attentiveness and help were outstanding and you must surely be a credit to Catherines. Your patience was unwavering and never once did I feel hurried in making a rash decision on such an important choice of dresses.

I am absolutely delighted with my outfit and hope once it gets the alteration done at this end it will fit perfect for the day.

Words cannot thank you enough for the service and professionalism you provided.

Many thanks.
I. Cusiter, Banff

My son got married at the Brig A Doon and it was a perfect day. My outfit was amazing and this was all down to you, your advice and kindness when I visited the shop.

First class service from a first class assistant.

E. Deacon

I would like to thank you for the care and attention I received when I visited your shop on Saturday with my daughter Amanda.

We were looking for a mother of the bride outfit. I wasn't sure what I wanted, but with the help of your assistant, I found a beautiful outfit and a very lovely hat to match.

My daughter is now going to bring her future mother-in-law to your shop for her outfit as well.

I cannot thank you enough for all the help and advice that was given to me, from dress to hat to accessories, especially as I had an unpleasant experience in another establishment earlier in the day.

I would not hesitate to recommend Catherine's to anyone who needs help and advice on what is one of the most important occasions for myself and my daughter.

I cannot praise staff highly enough. Thank you so much.

I visited your shop in search of any outfit for my son’s wedding. I was lucky enough to be attended to by Louise. She was so patient and took all my thoughts and preferences into consideration. I left with an entire outfit. Everyone had a great day – I received lots of incredible compliments and felt like a million dollars.

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent assistance you gave me.

C. O’Donnell, Falkirk

I visited the store with my daughter purely to have a look at Mother of the Bride outfits - not to buy.

We were taken in hand by Liz. I would just like to say a big thank you to her. She spent a lot of time helping us choose suitable outfits for me to try and had the patience of a saint. When we narrowed down what I liked she then offered hats, shoes, accessories etc... in colours I would not otherwise have even looked at never mind try and finally buy.

The worry of what to wear at my daughter’s wedding has now been alleviated. You are indeed a saint!

Once again many thanks Liz for making our day so enjoyable and not at all stressful. I have already recommended Catherines of Partick to family members.

Keep up the good work!

June Hutton, Dumbarton

I wanted to thank you for making my day feel so special.

Everyone kept telling me how stunning I looked, and it's all down to you I honestly felt like a million dollars. The moment I put my outfit on I knew it was the one for me. I know that my son was proud of me also.

Thank you so much.

Irene Martin

Thank you Irene for all your help with my daughters prom dress.

Susan is thrilled, I am relieved and you are a credit to Catherines of Partick, your employers are lucky to have you!

I worked as a mystery shopper for BAA for a number of years and you would have got 10 out 10, well done.

I’ll definitely be back for my 50th birthday outfit in October!

F. McIntyre, N. Ayrshire

Thank you so much for the help I received in choosing an outfit for my daughter’s wedding.

I never felt so glamorous in all my life. My daughter also wore an Ian Stuart dress , it was lovely!

Your help was wonderful.

C. Brand, Buckie

Thank so much for making the choosing of an outfit such a lovely experience. I am delighted with it and the alteration at the shoulders is perfect – matching the lace exactly.

I will try not to outshine the bride but I know that I will feel a million dollars on the 31st March!

F. Merson, Aberdeen

We were in your shop in January/February 2011 to buy "Mother of the Bride" outfit and we promised to send you on some pictures after the day. It also transpired that the "Mother of the Groom" bought her outfit here too.

Thanks again for your help in getting my mum a great dress - she felt fantastic!

Cheers, Amanda McGarvey

Thank you so much for finding me the perfect dress.  I felt like a princess both at my party and prom.

After my stressful and disappointing shopping experience the day before, you were like a fairy godmother.

I really appreciated your patience and helpfulness and I feel that the service I received was first class.

Thanks again.

To Catherines of Partick

My daughter and I came to your shop at the end of July to buy an outfit for my son's wedding at the beginning of October this year. I was a little apprehensive as I had been to several shops in the North of Scotland and had not found anything to suit. Within a very short time of entering your shop I was allocated an assistant called Deborah who was just marvellous. A very pleasant young lady with the patience of a saint. I could see that you had a very extensive stock of sizes and styles to suit every age group so my fears of not getting something to wear went out the window.

With Deborah's help it was not long before I found the outfit of my dreams - just what I was looking for. I still love it and I think I always will. A special outfit for a very special occasion. It was greatly admired at the wedding and I was very proud to say where I had bought it.

Coming to your shop was a wonderful experience which I will never forget and I hope I get the chance to be a customer in the future.

Please pass on my thanks to Deborah for all her help.

I would just like to extend a very belated thank you for all your help in getting me organised with an outfit for my daughters wedding that was in May. Everyone commented on my outfit and most of all I felt a million dollars. We had a wonderful day and have some treasured memories and photos of this very special occasion. I have just found out this weekend my son is to be married next year, so I will be back through in the New Year to get you girls to get us organised again.

Many Thanks and kind regards to you all, keep up the good work.

Jacqueline assisted me on Saturday past – selecting an outfit for my very special day in May as Mother of the Bride. She excelled in every way ……. kind, helpful, truthfully, friendly, thorough and understanding. What an asset she is to your business.

Many thanks to you and Jacqueline

A very belated thanks for all your help and attention!  Pat and I absolutely loved our outfits - everyone commented on them - we had a wonderful day (as did the happy couple!).  We have told everyone where we bought them from.  Hoping you get a picture as promised - not very good at sending attachments!  

Thank you so much. 

Jill McGoldrick

My mother and I had a wonderful experience shopping for an outfit for her. We were attended by Michelle who could not have been more kind and helpful. Unfortunately my mother did not find an outfit for my daughters wedding. I found a spectacular Paule Vasseur. I cannot recommend the shop enough to all. Gail Nicoll Anglesey

I had the most wonderful time and my outfit was admired greatly!!  I would recommend your store and staff who gave me so much help and guidance.  

Mrs. Christine Mitchell

Amazing staff, really puts you at ease and thank you for making us welcome. Truly enjoyed our time in the shop. Thank you. Aileen McCreadie Carluke

Just to say thank you so very much. I am so pleased with my purchases today and just to say thank you very much for helping me choose my outfit and all the accessories. Everyone approved. Thank you. Margaret McGuire Alexandria

Last May, my daughter and I arrived at your shop to look at "Mother of the Bride" outfits.

Needless to say we left having chosen a beautiful dress, jacket and hat following wondering assistance given to us by Enid.

Please find enclosed photo as promised.

Thank you again.

Mrs Kate McDermott

Having spent a second visit to Catherines of Partick yesterday, I yet again found another wonderful outfit. As you can see I am wearing the first outfit the from the Condici collection for my daughters wedding in May.

I am absolutely delighted with my second outfit I purchased for another family members wedding.

The outfit is Veni Infantino which I can't wait to wear, I shall send photo's of this outfit

I would like to thank you for your excellent service on both occasion to the shop.

Mrs Gartland

I wanted to send this to thank Louise for her warm and personal service. I am the lady from Durham who had been let down by her supplier for her wedding shoes.

You were so helpful, you sent me photographs of alternative shoes and handbags.

We were about to make the trip to see you when my original shoes, out of the blue, turned up.

We have another wedding in a few years and I know I will want to come and visit Catherines of Partick for the event.

Many thanks.

Lillian Pargeter

It has taken me a year to do this (prompted by our 1st wedding anniversary!) I just wanted to write to thank you for having such a fantastic selection of outfits at your shop. Last year whist looking for a Mother of the Bride's outfit for my Mum we came straight to your shop (all the way from Bristol!) and found the whole outfit straight away which was amazing.

I think you'll agree from the photos that Mum looked stunning.
I am so pleased, that thanks to you, she found an outfit that made her feel as special as she deserved.

Kind Regards,

Sarah Parker

Thank you so much for looking after me again a few weeks ago. As promised I have attached a couple of photo's of my son's wedding in Northern Ireland so as you can see my outfit on.

Fiona also asked me to say thanks for her as well.

Many thanks once again.

Gillian

Thank you so much for your help on Saturday. I came in for a wee look and left with my beautiful 'vampish' dress. 

My husband was gob smacked when he saw me in it, to the point of not even flinching when he heard what it cost. 

I'm delighted to say that this has been the single most expensive item I ever bought in my life and I love it! 

Thanks again.

Alison Fraser

A huge Thank You to your most helpful member of staff who helped my young daughter select a gown for her recent prom. Clearly the experience of your assistant is second to none, I couldn't have been more pleased with the end result (including alterations).

Many thanks

Carol Ferguson

I am writing to express my sheer delight with the service I received from your staff.  I was made to feel at ease, encouraged to break away from my normal style, your member of staff thought about every aspect of my outfit right down to the last detail.  I was delighted in the advice given regarding matching shoes and bag which compliment the outfit perfectly.  I truly felt my best interests were in mind.

I left you store fully confident in the choices I had made and cannot wait for my son’s wedding to wear my outfit.  I was so happy with the service I look forward to my return visit for my outfit for my daughter’s day.

Mrs M Harris

Irene's valuable help was very much appreciated helping me choose the outfit from your vast stock. Everyone commented on how lovely my outfit was and asked where had I bought it from so you will probably getting some more customers from the Kendal area. The day and evening was perfect.

Kind Regards

Christine

Just a note to thank your great staff who helped me, when my daughter and I came down from Aberdeen on Monday arriving about lunchtime. 

There were so many beautiful outfits and I was struggling to pick but your sales assistant was so helpful and patient - thank you once again.  Yes the outfit we picked I wouldn't have gone for in the first instance but once on what a difference. 

I will certainly recommend your shop to my friends. 

Thank you once again.

Ann Horn

I just wanted to write and thank you very, very much for today. I came to your shop to look at Mother of the Bride outfits and was greeted by a staff member who was a real angel. She listened to what I was looking for and put up with me so well. I got my dream outfit and am very please. I was dreading this as I am a larger lady, I walked out feeling like a model.

Alison Jamieson

Thank you for the fabulous service given to me. It was very kindly suggested ordering a hat dyed to match my mother of the bride outfit from London.

This was my last chance as I couldn't find anything like the colour, I was amazed that they sent up four hats for me to choose from, all gorgeous. I finally chose one and I am delighted and cannot praise Catherines wonderful staff enough.

Thanks for making me very happy.

Joyce Gribble

I just wanted to write a note to say thank you for your enormous patience as you helped me find an outfit for my son's wedding.

I have found it difficult to shop for clothes in the past, however this was a whole different experience thanks to your patience and kindly advice.

I am now looking forward to my sonss wedding knowing that my outfit is ready and waiting. I won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding outfit and I will certainly return myself if I am looking for a special outfit!

Very many thanks, your help is much appreciated.

Win Philp

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the great service and attention I received a few weeks ago when I bought my outfit for my son's wedding which was held in Dundas Castle, South Queensferry. My outfit was greatly admired - "stunning" was the popular statement. It is a "Paddy Campbell" design.

Thank you once again and I will continue to advertise for you.

Jane Herd

When our son announced his wedding, my daughter who lives in Gourock, said "the place where everyone buys their outfits is Catherines of Partick". So I took her word and was thrilled to bits with the dress Michelle B chose. She mentioned the word "quirky" and it was different. I felt a million dollars at the wedding. My daughter of the younger generation did not expect to find a dress but fell in love with the first one she saw on the rail whilst we were waiting to be served.

I would like to thank Michelle B for her patience and kindness.

Just to say thanks. We visited today from Newcastle and were able to get just what we wanted after many wasted trips in the North East. Enid offered excellent service and your stock levels were fantastic.A very professional service offered.

Many thanks.

Lindsay Bailey

Many thanks for the fantastic service your staff have provided.

My mother introduced me to Catherines of Partick some years ago, and since then I have purchased every wedding outfit/outfits for special occasions from your shop. The service never fails me. I find it ironic, that now living in Dubai, the designers paradise for shopping, I still could not find that 'something special' for my sons wedding. Catherines of Partick never let me down, from sending you one single email to ask for an outfit to be put aside for me to arriving a few days later, that outfit not suiting me, I was still stuck for choice, and walked out of your shop with everything, from suit, hat and shoes.  You made a very difficult time so easy. I never thought I would fly in and out with my whole outfit in 3 days.

A very big thank you to all your staff for their support.

Louise Waddell

I am writing to express my thanks for the excellent customer service I received when I visited your shop. Your patience, interest, attention to detail and suggestions for accessories was second to none.

May I compliment you on your patient and courteous staff.

Many thanks for the excellent assistance you gave me when selecting an outfit for my daughter's wedding.

Your patience was much appreciated and your very helpful manner and sunny nature made it an enjoyable experience.

As you know, this is my second purchase from Catherine's and I will have no hesitation in returning on the future, should the need arise!

Thank you.

Phyllis Shaw

I would just like to say thank you for the kindness of your staff and especialy that of Val, who was so understanding of my needs in choosing the right outfit for my daughters wedding and that l wanted to look like the 'Yummy mummy' that l am, but l wanted sophistication and elegance rolled into one.

l had been struggling to look for an outfit for such a long time around the areas of Cheshire/Manchester/Chester,

l was losing the plot in ever finding the right outfit! l was determined to make your shop a must on our urgent errand up to Scotland to visit a poorly relative and l was extremely pleased with the service and expertise from this particular member of your team and wanted to say a very big thank you.

My daughter loves the look and my husband thinks its 99 1/2% wonderful, he never gives 100%, thank you,

love

Pamela from Cheshire

Dear Madame,

My daughter and I were in your shop last week to choose a dress for her upcoming Prom. We were served by a lady called Eleanor and I would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank You" to her for her courtesy and good humour throughout.

All too often nowadays assistants in shops seem to think service is a dirty word and equates with servant and it is beneath their dignity to offer it. It was a pleasant surprise to find it not so in Eleanor's case. She made what could have been an onerous (shopping with a teenage daughter) task an enjoyable one thus increasing my daughter's enjoyment of her dress, shoes and bag.

Please pass on my thanks and hold on to her. She's a treasure.

Yours faithfully,
Mary E. Currie

Just a wee note to say thank you for making our wedding day so special.
