Nor'East Cleaners

Nor'East Cleaners is a family-owned wedding gown specialist in Gloucester, Massachusetts with fifty years of experience caring for bridal gowns. The company holds certification as a Wedding Gown Specialist and provides cleaning, color restoration, preservation, and alteration services for both new and vintage gowns. Their cleaning process involves hand treatment and pure solvent cleaning. For preservation, gowns are layered with acid-free tissue and stored in archival-quality wedding chests that can be opened, rather than sealed containers that may trap moisture. Their MuseumCare preservation service includes personal inspection, a written international guarantee honored by Association of Wedding Gown Specialists members in nine countries, and complimentary pressing when the gown is worn again. The team can restore yellowed and stained family heirlooms, including vintage veils and christening gowns, to their original condition. Skilled seamstresses provide alterations for perfect fit. For destination weddings, they prepare gowns for travel with guidance on maintaining the dress at the destination. The company's work is endorsed by the Association of Bridal Consultants, and for each preservation service, their partner the Arbor Day Foundation plants a tree.
