I had my wedding dress made at ARA Experience in 2024 and it was honestly the best experience. The staff were so warm and accommodating, they made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. I went back recently with my sister and the owner remembered me and asked about my wedding. The team were so happy to have my sister use their services too. Such a lovely team and an all-round amazing experience both times!

I had the most beautiful experience at ARA Experience creating my wedding dress. From the moment we walked in, Lily made us feel so comfortable and welcome. She was incredibly friendly, genuinely listened to what I liked, and also threw out suggestions I wouldn’t have picked myself — which ended up being some of my favourites! Lily has such a great eye and made the whole appointment feel relaxed, fun and special rather than overwhelming. I never felt rushed or pressured, just supported and excited. It honestly felt like she was just as invested in finding the perfect dress as I was. If you’re looking for a stunning dress and an even better experience, I can’t recommend ARA Experience enough. Thank you, Lily, for making it such a memorable part of my wedding journey 🤍

I had the most wonderful experience with Penny and the team at ARA. They created the wedding dress of my dreams and exceeded all expectations with meticulous attention to detail. The dress was made of such beautiful high quality fabric and was a versatile design that was interchangeable between a floor length gown and mini dress with pockets, removable sleeves and bow. The customisation of ARA dresses is genius and I couldn’t recommend them more!

We had the most amazing experience at Ara, made even more special by the beautiful Phuong. From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond for us, especially for our best friend who’s getting married. Her kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made everything feel effortless and so memorable. You can truly feel how much she cares about what she does and the people she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a better experience, thank you, Phuong, for making such a special time even more perfect. ❤️

I had the most incredible experience with ARA Experience for my custom wedding dress in November 2021. Penny went above and beyond to make me feel beautiful, secure, and comfortable—something I never thought possible as someone who usually hates trying on clothes. Her care, support, and guidance turned the whole process into something I genuinely loved. On my wedding day, I felt amazing, and I received endless compliments—many people still comment on my dress when they see the photos! I’m so grateful for Penny’s talent, warmth, and the stunning dress she created just for me. Highly recommend ARA Experience to any bride wanting not just a beautiful gown, but a truly supportive and joyful journey.

I had my dress made through ARA experience and I honestly can’t thank Nicola and Penny enough for their help and guidance. From the very start and my first appointment I knew I wanted to have my dress made by ARA. They are so warming and welcoming, they listened to me and my vision and providing all the assistance needed. It was such an amazing experience to see my dress come to life over the appointments and a journey I’m so grateful for. My dress turned out so incredibly beautiful and stunning and what I was wanting. Something to cherish forever. Nicola was so helpful, caring and supportive. I could tell she loves doing what she does. I would 100% recommend ARA to anyone!

Penny and her team are truly incredible. I came to her with an idea for a dress for my reception, she has an amazing eye for design and came up with a dress that exceeded my expectations. While trying on options and exploring different options she made me feel so welcome and beautiful. Throughout my appointments I was impressed with her attention to detail in regard to the fit and finishing details of my gown. It fit incredibly well and I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day. It truly was perfect. Thank you so much to the whole team at ARA, you can really see their heart for the business and the care that put into each gown. I have recommended it to countless others since my day, thanks again!
