Have had a fab experience with this shop! Have my dress...it actually arrived early. The lady was lovely and very helpful. Not pushy in any way. They also do a wee offer where you get £100 to spend in the shop if you buy the dress on the first look. I did because I had tried it on in another shop which I refused to buy from. I therefore got my necklace, earings and head piece for £35 which was great. Priced the dress I wanted in a few shops before I bought, Angel Star were not any more expensive, in fact cheaper than McElhiney's in Donegal. Agree with AngelDeb, there are no on site alterations which is not great but she did recommend a lady nearby who has been in the business for 30 odd years and seems very professional. Go out of your way to visit this shop! read more

Angel Star is a bridal and formal wear shop in Carrickfergus. It's easy to find, as it's just across the road from the Castle (and thus from a large free car park). It has a special bridal room, which is well lit with natural light. The staff are knowledgable and helpful. The selection of dresses is broad, without being completely overwhelming. They also have a good range of bridesmaid dresses.The two cons would be that they are quite expensive, and that they don't do alterations on site - you need to take your dresses elsewhere. I haven't received my dresses yet, so will update this when I do - but happy with the service I received to date! read more
