Elegance and Excellence at Old Town Dry Cleaners: Making Wedding Dreams Come True

When it comes to the perfect wedding day, every detail matters. And one detail that should never be overlooked is the attire. That's where Old Town Dry Cleaners, owned by Mark and Dana Mathias, comes into play. With a history in the laundromat business and a passion for providing top-notch service, they have created a haven for brides and grooms looking to ensure their special day goes off without a hitch.

Mark and Dana Mathias had their fair share of experience in the laundromat business before they found their true calling with Old Town Dry Cleaners. They recognized that their expertise in cleanliness and precision would make them a perfect fit for the world of wedding attire. Thus, they made the transition, selling their laundromats and dedicating themselves entirely to Old Town Dry Cleaners.

At Old Town Dry Cleaners, one main focus is on wedding gowns and formal attire, which can be cleaned, pressed, and preserved for the entire wedding party. Moreover, they take pride in their work with linens and tablecloths for wedding hospitality, ensuring every aspect of the special day is perfect.

What sets Old Town Dry Cleaners apart from the rest is their unwavering commitment to customer service. They offer a "Rush" service for those who need immediate assistance, going the extra mile to meet customer demands. Their dedication is summed up in their motto: "The bride is always right." They even go so far as to deliver wedding dresses directly to the bride's location on her wedding day, ensuring a stress-free experience.

In the whirlwind of wedding preparations, it's common for brides, grooms, and the wedding party to leave important decisions, especially alterations, until the last minute. However, Old Town Dry Cleaners advises against this practice. They recommend arranging gown alterations at least one week ahead of time, with two weeks being preferable

to allow for any unforeseen issues. For men's suit alterations, they can often be completed as soon as the next day, but to alleviate stress, they suggest having them completed at least a week ahead of time.

Almost everything they do at Old Town Dry Cleaners is a customized request. They strive to fulfill their customers' wishes to the best of their ability, even accommodating last-minute changes whenever possible. They are transparent about any cost adjustments due to changes, ensuring no surprises for their customers. At Old Town, it's all about providing a pleasant experience with friendly staff, top-notch quality, and unwavering consistency.

To make the experience as convenient as possible, Old Town Dry Cleaners offers a "text" option at their point of sale. They're also open to phone calls, but they've observed that texting tends to be the preferred mode of communication for their customers, providing quick and easy responses.

Old Town Dry Cleaners offers some valuable advice to brides: relax and enjoy the wedding planning process. They emphasize that even if something doesn't go as planned on the big day, it can be looked back on with humor. To avoid mishaps, brides are encouraged to give themselves plenty of time to plan, order, and tackle tasks ahead of schedule.

For Mark and Dana Mathias, the most rewarding aspect of their business is seeing the expected outcome fulfilled and knowing they have satisfied customers. Customers who didn't have to stress over the process because they entrusted it to Old Town Dry Cleaners, and they delivered on the promise.

In addition to gown cleaning, pressing, and preservation, Old Town Dry Cleaners also offers shoe cleaning, alterations, and cleaning and pressing of table linens. They are a one-stop-shop for all your wedding attire needs.

So, when it's time to say "I do," remember Old Town Dry Cleaners. Their dedication to excellence, commitment to customer satisfaction, and passion for making wedding dreams come true make them the perfect partner for your special day. Your wedding attire will be in capable hands, ensuring you look and feel your best as you walk down the aisle.
