Great location for getting married at the Secret Garden! So spacious with plenty of room for all your bridal party to get ready. My favourite part is the oast house itself, a lovely area for photos. Thank you Sam!

A perfect start to our wedding day! A bright clear and attractive space for me and the girls to get ready without the stress of getting ready at home or a cramped little hotel room. It was warm despite being December and we could comfortably wear out cute little pjs, a lovely area in the oust for intimate photos of my sister getting me into my dress and I can tell you my photographer and videographer were delighted with the lighting in the main getting ready space! Loads of lovely touches too, like I hadn’t even thought about champagne flutes! But there some were ready to go on the kitchen. Communication was clear and easy, it was probably the easiest part of the wedding day in booking and on the day. Booked, followed the instructions on arrival, and just had a blast! It felt like our own personal salon, and I felt like a proper pampered princess! Can’t recommend enough, it just made everything so much easier and nicer! Thank you Sam for the wonderful experience, from Jodie and her bridal crew 🥰❤️

I got married last weekend & we were lucky enough to have The Pretty Prep Studios as our location to get ready. Now I had a big bridal party! I had 8 bridesmaids, 4 flower girls & 6 page boys. Only 2 of my page boys was with us at The Pretty Prep Studios, the rest met us at the church but that still meant that with me, our photographer, our videographer, our hair & make up artist, a hairdresser, another make up artist, my mum & all my bridal party, well at its fullest there was 21 of us inside this absolutely beautiful building & we still had so much space. Between the main area, the kitchen area & the oast dressing room there was no way we was on top of each other. This building is absolutely beautiful inside & out. The multiple make up & hair dressing stations meant we could have multiple people getting ready at the same time & we could all enjoy each other's company as we did so. Honestly we spent so much time laughing & smiling it was unreal. It is such a pretty & relaxed space & I can't tell you how much I enjoyed our morning here. Getting into my wedding dress in that beautiful dressing room & walking out of it to reveal to everyone was just absolutely magical. The photos & videos we have had from our photographer & videographer from our prep here are just beyond amazing. All the smiles are just testiment to how it was such a good place to be before getting married. Sam herself is absolutely amazing. She is so so friendly & lovely & she can not do enough to help you. She communicates amazingly & makes everything so stress free & run smoothly. I'm incredibly grateful for all the help you gave Sam & for being able to use your beautiful space to make so many amazing memories on the morning of my gorgeous wedding. Thank you so much. If you're considering booking The Pretty Prep Studios then please do. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Knowing that my desired wedding venue had no facilities to get ready at I was apprehensive about choosing the location (even though we had already fallen in love)! I was overjoyed to find out about The Pretty Prep Studios which was just around the corner and saved the day – a genius idea and perfect for wedding mornings!

The studio easy to get to and is situated in a picturesque Oast house which is also surrounded by gorgeous scenery perfect for some pre wedding shots. It is also extremely spacious made up of three areas, an open space with sofas and four dressing tables for hair and make-up, a kitchen space with a dining table and a gorgeous room in the Oast of the building where outfits can be hung up and to get dressed in. Plenty of room to avoid being on top of one another and for dress reveals!

Access to the studio can be as early as you like making the morning very relaxing as we had as much time as we wanted to get ready with no time constraints. This also allowed for suppliers to set up and be ready for our arrival.

Sam's attention to detail ensures you have everything you could possibly need to make your wedding morning seamless and stress free – a fully equipped kitchen, steamer, emergency items to solve any issues (e.g. sewing kit!) and a generous bottle of fizz!

If that wasn’t enough Sam was so lovely that she even popped up during the wedding morning to check if there was anything we needed – which was so thoughtful and very appreciated!

I had the best time getting ready with my bridesmaids and loved ones ahead of my special day and I highly recommend the Pretty Prep Studio for an enjoyable, calm and memorable wedding morning!

Thank you for everything - Mrs Calvert xx

Absolutely fantastic place for a bridal party to all get ready together in a light, clean and spacious area. Perfect for hair and make up artists with areas specifically for them to use with all their kit. The pretty prep studio is fantastic. It was the perfect start to the perfect day. Sam is brilliant. She let us leave everything there the night before, knowing we had a very early start. It allowed for a lovely calm morning, with complementary bubbles waiting in the fridge!
