I came across Gown & Altar when I was searching for a local wedding dress designer here in the Bay of Plenty. It ended up being the only place I tried wedding dresses on as I fell in love with many of the designs and the studio’s atmosphere. Isabel was amazing to work with and is so passionate about her business and her gorgeous range of designs.

I couldn’t have been happier with the whole process from start to finish. The gowns are all so beautifully made and cater to all shapes & sizes. From my very first try on to the last, Isabel was attentive and gave suggestions of how we could slightly adjust my dress to be the perfect fit. On the day of my wedding I felt beyond beautiful and confident in my dress, which is a feeling I’ll never forget! I have and will recommend Gown & Altar to any bride to be.”

“I purchased the Juliette gown from Gown & Altar and I’ve honestly never felt so good in a dress.

Lucy and the entire team were incredible — so welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure the dress was fitted to me in the best way possible. I left the studio feeling confident, comfortable, and completely taken care of.

The sleeve details were absolutely beautiful and were complimented so much by our guests on the day.

I couldn’t recommend Gown & Altar enough. Such a beautiful experience from start to finish”
