Jessica Cassidy

“Your beautiful hat was the perfect finishing touch for my day at Royal Ascot today, thank you.”

Kerry Winslet

“The Hat Hire Boutique is an absolute hidden gem, I have hired a few hats now and have also recommended to many friends who were all equally as pleased with the experience. Katie is professional and very knowledgeable. I was very much of the opinion that hats don’t suit me, but my goodness with Katie’s expertise and guidance I was thoroughly delighted! Katie has something for everyone. Every year I hope for more invitations to events that require hats so I can go back and choose another beautiful headpiece. Thank you so much.”

Jill Hopkins

“I loved my ‘Ginger’ hat, it was perfect for my daughter’s wedding day. Choosing the hat in such a relaxed environment made it special and Katie’s advice and reassurance was great. I can not recommend The Hat Hire Boutique enough.”
