Loved my custom wedding gown

Zoba is very knowledgable and professional. I went to her with no idea about what I wanted as a bride and was honestly all over the place. She was patient and talked me through different styles and options, features of wedding dresses that I liked and what I would like to see on my dress.

The fitting sessions were perfect and it was beautiful to see my wedding dress come to life. I'll recommend Zoba Martin every time I get a chance to. No regrets whatsoever! I got so many complements on my dress and I'm now hanging on to it forever.

Side note: I didn't get a chance to wear my dress because of COVID but I wore it and stood beside Zoba during her Dragons Den Pitch in 2022.

Feel like a Superstar

Zoba Martin is the most creative and thoughtful designer! Growing up I never dreamed about my wedding gown; all I knew is that I wanted a cape! I told Zoba this and she ran with it. She was so nice about measurements and assured me not to be self conscious about anything because she would make the dress fabulous and she did.

I am located in the Tampa, Florida in the US and although Zoba is in Toronto she communicated well and this was never an issue. We had virtual fittings and in person fittings. At one point during the process, Zoba had an amazing opportunity to go on tour with Drake, this did not alter her dedication to my wedding gown! She took my gown with her and invited me and my bestie to a Drake concert in Miami! Talk about customer service.

We became great friends during this process and Zoba even came to my wedding, to dress me! I will be forever grateful for her expertise, our friendship, her professionalism, and the beautiful memories she provided us during our wedding.

Zoba Martin Bridal offers so many unique packages for brides to customize their look. I chose a package that included a luxurious robe, cape, and wedding gown. If you want to feel like a queen on your big day, definitely choose Zoba Martin Bridal!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
