Amazing experience

Melissa at Kite’s is a genius! You’ll see in the attached photos that I had my mother’s wedding dress from the 80s that was yellowed and stained. A few weeks with Melissa and it was bright white, no stains anywhere and in pristine condition. She answered all of our questions and was incredibly nice to my mother and I. She was honest every step of the way. I would recommend her to anyone.

Awesome quick service for wedding dress pressing

Such a huge help to me right before my wedding! Was able to drop off my dress to get it pressed and pick it back up that same day.

Attention to detail.

This dress was worn for an outdoor wedding. And was partied in most of the night. We knew from the beginning we would have to send it off to be professionally cleaned. Honestly I was worried that they would never be able to get all the dirt and stains out.

We are amazed by the workmanship these ladies have done. I can not think them enough for the care they showed for our daughters dress.

Outstanding advice and explanation of their service by Melissa

Kites cleaned and restored a Brussels lace antique wedding veil from 1937 worn by 15 members of our family in preparation for our daughters wedding. They carefully repaired the small amount of dry rot and restored the color to the original creamy white. I researched cleaners all over the country and Kites was the best! Thank you!
