"Thank you Simon!"

Thank you Simon!
A wonderful job - stunning hat made for a wedding, will be back again *****

"St Cross Wedding"

When my daughter was planning her wedding, she thought of everything, including what her jeans and t-shirt mother was going to wear. She persuaded me, a non hat wearer, to go and see Simon with a view to having a hat to go with my outfit. No way I thought. However the minute I walked into Simon's studio I was entranced. Firstly his approach was gentle and he listened to me as I vaguely talked about hats not knowing what would suit my outfit and personality. Gradually he guided me towards a style that I actually really liked. I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of his work, his communication skills and the fact he didn't rush me into a decision, On my daughter's wedding day I felt 'a million dollars' and received many complements on my beautiful hat and surprise that I was actually wearing one !! I would without reservation recommend Simon and Marvellous Millinery. Thank you Simon, Love Jo x

"Outstanding Milliner"

I always go to Marvellous Millinery when I need a hat for a special occasion and he’s even made a couple for me for everyday wearing to! I’ve now had several hats (with matching accessories) designed and created by Simon at Marvellous Millinery and have no reservations about recommending him.

Simon has incredible attention to detail and amazing design ideas. it’s clear that he wants his customers to really love and enjoy wearing the hats he makes for them. The process from beginning to end is always stress free and easy, You don’t have to know a lot about hats or even know what suits you, he’ll guide you through the whole process. Simon has so much knowledge that I enjoyed every minute in his beautiful studio as much as wearing the hats themselves.

"Wearing my hat with pride!"

When I discovered that the wedding we were invited to was definitely going to be a hat wearing event, I took the plunge and contacted Simon. From the first meeting in his welcoming studio to the delivery of my one-off, bespoke hat, the experience was relaxed, efficient and happy. Simon obviously loves what he does and he couldn't have looked after me better. The range of styles he offered was amazing and I couldn't believe how accurately he picked up the colours in my outfit. He put up with my dithering and gently helped me make the final decision. The result was a hat that I loved wearing - I felt comfortable and confident. In addition, it garnered many compliments on the day. Thank you so much, Simon!

"Truly bespoke handmade hats"

Marvellous Millinery is very aptly named and is a truly bespoke service from start to finish, which is not always easy to find nowadays. I have had the pleasure of wearing several of Simon’s hats and he even made the special jewellery for my wedding day. The whole process of working with Simon is fantastic and he shows an incredible attention to detail, beginning with your outfit to make sure the final hat complements and enhances what you’re wearing. The colour matching is incredible and you can even have coordinating jewellery and handbags made to create something even more special! Simon is very knowledgeable and has a great eye for style so is able to advise on the best hats or fascinators to suit the occasion, the dress and the wearer, even if you don’t think you’re a hat person! He immediately makes you feel at ease.
I love his jewellery range too and choosing crystals and stones to coordinate with an outfit so you turn up to an event feeling fantastic.
I highly recommend Marvellous Millinery to anyone who is considering a hat for an occasion. Simon is extremely skilled and professional.

"Returning customer"

Simon is incredibly talented and made the entire process comfortable and enjoyable. His service is truly bespoke, he listens, knows what works & takes away any anxiety. The hats are beautifully designed and made with attention to detail. I am looking for another excuse to use his service!

"My Hat Story"

I'm not known as being a 'hat person'. With my daughters wedding coming up in June this year I was being asked, as mother of the bride, will you be wearing a hat? It was an emphatic no, until.... I was watching one of the many lockdown tv series and fell in love with a quirky little item. I contacted Simon to ask if he could make something like that and match the colours in my dress. Turns out he can! The colours match absolutely perfectly and I couldn't be more thrilled. Simon was utterly brilliant throughout the whole process. He was very open to what I wanted and offered advice on what would and wouldn't work. I haven't been able to have a proper fitting yet but I can't wait until his 'Covid Secure' workshop is open again and I can visit Simon and get his expertise on how to put it on my head! Did I mention I'm not a hat person. Thank you Simon for your expertise, creativity and patience. Role on June.
