Wedding Dress Cleaning

Hi, I am new to the Nest! I am looking for a reputable wedding dress cleaner in the NW Burbs or Downtown. I have gotten a quote from one place I use a lot for other things, it is $300. Just cleaning, no preserving, does that sound right? Any suggestions? I figured I would get more response here than the Knot:)

    Hey Steph,

    Welcome to the Nest! I can't wait to see your wedding photos!

    I had the same problem when I was looking for a cleaner. I got a ton of quotes and most of them were either in the $60-$90 range (sketchy) or the $280-$400 range -- not much in between. I ended up going with went with Barry Regent Cleaners because they offered cleaning for $130 and seemed like they knew what they were doing. I do NOT recommend them, but I would keep shopping for something under $300. Sorry I'm not more help!

  • What it costs to dry clean a wedding dress usually has to with the amount of processing time.  However, I wouldn't pay more than $190 (I worked at a dry cleaners for over 7 years in the small town where I live.)  Good luck!
