M Parry: March 2024

 

 

The service Sarah provided was truly nothing short of exceptional and it is one of those rare occasions where l’d give 10 stars if I could. Sarah is a courteous, professional and understanding business owner/manager who obviously loves doing what she does – and she does it so well!
Arranged collection from such a beautiful place. Thank you for your directions!
(Andrew and his family absolutely loved their costumes btw)

 

 

 

 

The Grove Theatre: April 2023

 

We use Masquerade regularly for theatrical productions – including most recently The Madness of George III – and the service is nothing short of superb.
Sarah and her team are a pleasure to do business with and the quality of the wigs we have hired is uniformly excellent.
We would gladly recommend Masquerade to anyone requiring costumes or wigs for their production or event.

Mrs J Knox : 24 Carat Gold Dance Group / April 2022: Mail Order Hire:

 

Sarah this is the most efficient transaction that 24 Carat Gold have ever had in the 15 years we’ve been on the go.  Granted our productions have got more ambitious over the years but working with your company has been a joy, and I think to start the evening with Marilyn’s 16th century dances in your costumes will be a pretty special start.  Thank you.

Dear Sarah

I just wanted to say that the wig I hired was absolutely perfect for our recent play, Ladies in Retirement and was very much admired by fellow cast members and audience alike.The quality, style, colour and fit were excellent and the packaging and instructions very well thought out. I have recommended your website to fellow cast members so hope you will benefit from some new business. Thank you again

Fantastic place that I found online while visiting the area to attend a masquerade ball, and needed a couple of costumes fast. Sarah was able to accommodate us with an appointment quickly, and we found our perfect costumes within minutes of arriving thanks to the great help and vision of Sarah. The costumes were high quality and went down a storm at the party where everyone was immensely impressed, also with the accessories Sarah recommended to complement the costumes. Hope to use again one day!
