It was the best decision I made.
Myself and my family got dressed at the pretty prep studios for my wedding and it was the best decision I made. There was ample space for us to get dressed and it made it so much nicer than being in a tiny hotel room. Both the MUA and hairstylist were so happy with the natural light this venue gets as it makes everything natural! Also Sam is amazing to deal with - very quick at responding and so easy to speak with!

The venue was beautiful and I would recommend
We were greeted with mimosas, a wide range of teas, coffee and a bottle of Prosecco upon arrival. Sam was so thoughtful and remembered that I am lactose intolerant and left dairy-free milk in the fridge! It was such a lovely touch. The venue was beautiful and I would recommend to anyone getting married soon. It made our wedding day and I am so happy I chose to invest in Sam’s lovely venue!

Enough for all of the bridal party to get ready
I was lucky enough to be able to book The Pretty Prep Studio for my wedding morning and it was absolutely perfect. The space is big enough for all of the bridal party to get ready, it has a super modern feel and the little touches that are included are an added bonus. Sam was so helpful from the first enquiry I made up until the wedding morning, nothing was too much effort for her. You will not regret booking, if I could give more stars I would!

My favourite area of the studio is the Oast
The space is large, airy, calming and has the perfect lighting and set-up for MUAs and hair stylists. My favourite area of the studio is the Oast, providing a beautiful setting for getting into your wedding dress, and having some all-important photos! Sam was incredibly kind from my first viewing, all the way to arranging the collection of a few items that were accidently left behind. She honestly couldn't have done more - she's fantastic!

The Pretty Prep was a fantastic location for the b
The Pretty Prep was a fantastic location for the bridal party to get ready. Spotlessly clean and a beautiful place to relax and take photos. The studio is really spacious and has great natural light for hair and make up. At one point there were a bride, maid of honour, flower girl, 4 bridesmaids, 2 hairdressers, 2 make up artists, mother and father of the groom, father of the bride, 2 photographers, a driver and a best man in the studio and it did not crowded! I highly recommend.

I 100 percent recommend to anyone!
Pretty Prep Studio was absolutely amazing for our wedding, perfect spot to get ready in and provide relaxing space for the bridal party. Sam was so so helpful from the moment I made my enquiry about the studio, sending me lots of info and a little sneak peek before I arrived. The studio was packed with handy little bits you might need in a pinch like safety pins and deodorant. My MUA/Hair artist and guests were amazed by all the place and loved it. I 100 percent recommend to anyone!
