The Hat Hire Boutique

I am so glad I found The Hat Hire Boutique! I needed a hat for an investiture at Windsor Castle and really wasn't sure what kind of hat would suit me AND the occasion. But Katie put me at ease at once and with her expert eye and patient help we found the perfect one to go with my outfit. I received many compliments! The whole experience of choosing the right one was wonderful too. Katie has a large collection of hats in all kinds of shapes, colours and sizes. There really is a hat for everyone and all occasions. Very happy to recommend her!

Highly recommended! I wasn’t at all sure about whether I wanted a hat for my mother of the bride outfit but went along to meet Katie with a swatch of material and no clue about what might work. Katie’s knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise made such a difference. She gently encouraged me to try different looks without ever making me feeling pressured at all, and when I returned for a second visit with my actual outfit, I realised that I was having great fun revisiting my shortlist. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Katie to choose my hat for the occasion - she has an amazing collection and a fantastic eye. Thank you so much, Katie!

I had no idea how much focus there was on the Mother of the Brides outfit! Thank heavens for Katie who planned hat and fascinator options that reflected my thinking, in advance of my appointment. I was able to change into my dress to see how each option worked and understand from Katie why certain proportions, hat heights, colours etc worked to complete my outfit.I felt fabulous, and was overwhelmed with compliments. There's no question, the hat made the outfit.Thank you so much Katie!

Highly, highly recommend Katie and The Hat Hire Boutique! I was visiting the UK for a wedding and I've never worn a hat or fascinator like this before. Katie took the time to help me pick out a hat that would match my dress, suit my preferences, and make me feel comfortable all at the same time. As I'd never worn a hat like this before I had a million questions and she was so kind and responsive and helpful. I felt beautiful at the wedding and got so many compliments on my hat. You can tell she really cares about her customers - thanks a million Katie!

Would like to send a huge Thank you to Katie at The Hat Hire Boutique. I had a great time attending Ascot this year. Made even more enjoyable because I found the perfect hat to match my dress. I know I will not buy another Hat again, to only store away in a box in the attic.I sent a photo of my outfit to Katie, who then sent back photos of a selection of hats in colours that she thought would suit my chosen dress.My breath was taken away when I took my dress along to the boutique and saw such an array of wonderful hats in all different colours,shapes and sizes. Thank you again Katie, I will be returning, knowing that I can definitely find a hat to suit any colour outfit I should choose.Sue Castle

Katie has a great range of hats with a brilliant choice for every occasion. She had pre-selected some styles and colours for me, based on my outfits and appearance and demonstrated that she has an incredible eye for how to complete an outfit; her recommendation for my 'Mother of the Bride' outfit, received no end of compliments at my daughter's wedding.Katie gave me confidence to wear a hat for the first time in my life, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her or using her again. First class in every way!

It was a revelation finding Katie and the Hat Hire Boutique. I was able to choose the most stunning hat from the website well in advance of Ascot and just waited for it to arrive in the post in time for the event. All went very smoothly. Katie even sent me a video on what the best way was to secure it. Sustainable, affordable and beautiful! Will be recommending to my styling clients and friends. I'll be back next year!

Katie is as fabulous as her hats. Needed something special for the Royal Enclosure at Ascot and didn’t want to buy a hat that would sit at the back of the wardrobe.Booked an appointment with Katie who had a range of hats ready for me to try, I’d sent her a picture of my dress beforehand so she already knew the colour and style.She was patient and made me feel incredibly comfortable. She has some absolutely beautiful creations for all tastes which makes it very difficult to choose. But when you find the one, you know. She takes loads of pics of you in the hats you try so you can take time to decide on “the one”.Collection and return times were really convenient and the hire cost exceptionally reasonable for the quality of hats.Katie came on a recommendation and I’m going to pass on the same recommendation. She’s great, her hats are beautiful and I felt amazing wearing one. Thank you Katie.

I cannot recommend Katie and her Hat Hire Boutique enough. Not only does she have the most amazing expertise, knowing, (almost immediately), what hat or fascinator would suit me and my outfit, but she's also a thoroughly lovely lady, who made me feel so at home throughout my appointment. Katie really couldn't do enough for me, making me feel a million dollars in my special wedding outfit. Her eye for style, elegance and class, along with her patience, guidance and advice is second to none. Not to mention her absolutely stunning assortment of beautiful hats! There really is something for everyone. What a find Katie and The Hat Hire Boutique is. I can't wait for my next occasion. Thoroughly, thoroughly recommend. Thank you Katie!

It was wonderful to spend time with Katie to match a hat to my Royal Ascot outfit - it was so much fun! I had a wonderful time on the day and really enjoyed wearing my hat. Highly recommend you get in touch with Katie so you can see the beautiful range of hats she has.
