Testimonials
"Words cannot describe what a fabulous experience I enjoyed with Kristi, from commissioning to the finished masterpiece.
As a larger than life Mother of the Bride, I wanted the perfect hat to complement an amazing bespoke outfit designed & created just for me.
Kristi was infinitely patient whilst I researched ideas & structures; she guided me through the intricate design process & we agreed the colours, materials & final look together.
My hat is a glowing testament to both her professional competence & her ability to understand
exactly how I wanted to feel & to look on The Day.
I am so grateful for her contribution to making my daughter's wedding day one of the happiest days of my life.
The hat was my crowning glory!"
Ruth
"What a super lovely hat Kristi made for my son’s wedding.
I felt a weight off my shoulders after our very first consultation and really appreciated her professional but also collaborative approach. Her attention to detail was fantastic, even down to the contrasting lining and gold trim.
I found it so comfortable and hated taking it off!
Complimentary comments included “jaunty little number” and “straight out of Bond Street”.
THANKYOU Kristi for your very professional approach to the whole process, your impressive attention to detail and your excellent communications!
I would highly recommend her and only wish I had more occasions for hat-wearing!"

"Working with Kristi was an amazing experience.
I did not know what to expect but she is so welcoming & really wants
you to be comfortable.
Kristi is truly a professional & she has a gift! I felt fabulous in the hat."
Estela
"Kristi has made me several items of headwear. All were beautifully made and tailored to exactly colour match my outfits.
Because they were unique pieces nobody else had anything like them.
If I ever go to Ascot, Kristi will be my first port of call for my hat."
Pam
"Kristi works very hard to not only match your outfit, but discover what you like or don’t like in a hat.
She is so creative in finding ways to make the hat super special for that special day."
Patty
"It was my first time having a hat made & Kristi made it the best experience.
From the consultation to the day I picked my hat up, Kristi kept me updated & she far exceeded any expectations I had or could have had.
I’m looking forward to working with Kristi for as long as I’m in the UK."
Fatuma
"Kristi made my hat for our son’s wedding. I had no idea what I wanted.
I gave her my outfit, shoes and bag & she did the rest.
Lots of comments how stunning the hat was, I felt really special wearing it."
Joyce
"By the power of Facebook I found this lady. I was attending Royal Ascot and wanted something a bit different.
I was blown away by the service.
I left my dress and shoes and nothing was too much trouble. Amazing hat highly recommend.
I can’t wait to be going somewhere else.."
Sarah
"Kristi made a beautiful & unique fascinator for me for my friend's wedding.
With some excess material from my dress, she made a flower for the fascinator.
She also matched the colours of the net & feathers in it perfectly to the colours of my dress.
It was just the right style and everyone said it looked brilliant with my dress.
You couldn't buy one like it in the shops!"
Jennifer
"I was hoping for a bit more than 'off-the-shelf' ...something personal.
And it was def the WOW factor,
I couldn’t believe you did what you’ve done, with what I gave you & in the time frame.
I think the service was amazing & such a friendly service, with fantastic communication.
I was always very hesitant of wearing anything on my head and you’ve changed my thoughts.
Thanks for doing a marvellous job, lots of lovely comments!! X"
Lisa
"As mother of the bride I approached buying my wedding outfit with great trepidation.
After months of searching for the outfit, I went to Kristi for advice re hats.
She was amazing, putting me at ease and making really good suggestions. I took the dress, shoes and handbag for her to coordinate.
Her creation was a work of art, everyone commented on my fascinator on the day & when they saw the photos.
She managed to blend the colours and textures so well, it brought out just the right elements of my outfit.
Many friends have asked for her details & I am more than pleased to pass them on!
Kristi has an artistic flair & is an experienced professional, I will be back for the next wedding!"
Ros
"As the special occasion of great friends getting married approached, I knew I wanted an extra special touch and Kristi gave me just that.
I've never really been a hat wearer, but I do like an Alice band and so this seemed the way to go.
From my rather short notice request to receiving, with patience, my Pinterest screenshots and messages of what I liked The Harrogate Hatter was a true professional who clearly has creative vision and passion for what she does.
She brought out details from my dress to the headband which I hadn't even noticed.
It felt a true continuation of my dress and amazingly comfortable.
I highly recommend The Harrogate Hatter, you can really put your trust in Kristi to design and create something unique and special. 5⭐️s"

"I was amazed by my beautiful creation you made me!
I got so many compliments on the day and it matched perfectly with my dress and bag!
I loved it so much!
It was so easy to wear; it fit perfect, not too heavy. I can put it on and put it in the right place!

Eeeek I am so happy I can leave it to you to get creative and be overwhelmed by the outcome!!

Laura
"Aw thank you for your marvellous encouragement and limitless enthusiasm.
My hat felt great, many compliments too … I didn’t feel I could have done any better for me. Just right.
My hat tilted at most hugs, but that is good testimony of the many many hugs, & the hat quickly went back into place.
When I finally parted with my hat (to dance the night away) my hair was displayed in all its unfinished glory (haha) … I would have liked to keep the hat on!!
I am certainly a happy customer, & must thank you for your patience throughout the process!
Thank you again!! XXX"
