So happy with my experience at Chicago Wedding Dress Cleaners! It was an easy process from the moment I first called Steve. I knew my dress would be in good hands. The dress came back immaculate and beautifully boxed, and the owner is kind and clearly cares a lot about his business. Price was more than fair and transparent. He took the time to explain the process and what to expect and did so cheerfully. I live in TN, and after speaking with other cleaners locally, I decided to go with this company as my sister who lives in IL had such great things to say. We are so glad we did!! We really appreciate Steve and would recommend this company to everyone!

Unique care was provided for my Daughters Wedding Gown in the cleaning and Preservation process, pictures sent after the Cleaning and great services which I did compare other Wedding Gown cleaning services in the Chicago suburbs. I wanted top quality workmanship and I believe that is what we received.

Very easy pick up/delivery. Appreciated the timely updates and photos. Haven’t opened my box so can’t speak to how things look (or if my dress is even in there LOL) but I trust the photos received from Steve and the dress looked amazing in them despite me walking through the puddles of booze on wedding night and practically street sweeping cigarettes in the city of Chicago on wedding day!! Thanks Steve!

This company helped get some dark marks off my dress that happened during alterations, thankfully they were able to clean the dress to mint condition only a week before my wedding day. I used their services again after the wedding to preserve my dress. Excellent and professional team!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve all of DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and DeKalb Counties?
Yes. We provide free pickup and delivery across all four western suburban counties. Our Naperville facility is centrally located, and our own employee drivers cover the entire western suburban region.
How soon after my wedding should I have my dress cleaned?
We recommend within 1-2 months. Stains from wine, makeup, grass, and perspiration set deeper over time. Even invisible sugar stains from champagne will yellow if left untreated.
What is included in your wedding dress preservation?
Every preservation includes professional hand cleaning, stain removal, detailed inspection, wrapping in acid-free tissue, and sealing in a museum-quality pH-neutral preservation chest. We provide photos of your cleaned gown for approval before preservation.
How much does wedding dress cleaning and preservation cost?
Pricing depends on your gown’s fabric, embellishments, and condition. We provide fair, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Call (630) 445-0603 for a free quote.
