Very helpful and personalized service!

I took a chance on buying my dress (worn once before) online and when it came stained - though the seller claimed these were not there when she shipped it - I panicked. I researched the best way to take care of such a delicate piece and found Great Lakes Wedding Gown Specialists. I contacted and heard back from Tami very quickly who offered to look at the dress. When I brought it in Tami offered to clean the dress and reassured me that there was hope for my dream dress! When I returned a week later, my dress looked brand new and I loved it even more! I'll be back in a few months for alterations and I am excited to work with Tami's team to make this dress my own! Tami truly cares about her clients, their vision for their special day, and clearly has a passion for what she does. I could not be more thankful for the reassurance and the support!

Would definitely recommend!

I had a great experience with this vendor (even during COVID)! They were able to make significant alterations to my dress affordably and within a good time frame! The latch they added to the belt on the back of my dress unfortunately was very weak and broke early on the wedding day - but that is my only complaint!
