After using Five Star Wedding Gown Specialists and knowing the work Marissa Gonzales, the Manager & Restoration Specialist could do, I decided to drag out my 44 year old never clea...
ned wedding gown in its old zippered vinyl bag from storage and head to Five Star Wedding Gown Specialists in hopes they
could make it look decent. The Manager, Marissa Gonzales, is just fantastic! Very friendly, very professional, experienced and proficient. When I would come across my gown in storage, I would wonder why I ever thought it was pretty. So, now thinking of taking it apart to make items for a wedding, communion, baptismal, or craft; I dropped it off to be cleaned but not boxed for long term protection. I wish I could do a before/after but I neglected to take pics of the 'before'. After cleaning, Marissa brought it out and I nearly cried. Wow, my gown looked wonderful!! I loved it all over again. So, my plans have now changed a bit. I've decided not to split it into parts but to have it boxed and let someone else choose to wear it. I definitely am thrilled with the work Marissa has done. I recommend anyone wanting to clean/restore precious fabric items to trust Five Star Wedding Gown Specialists. I especially want to send Marissa Gonzales a big Thank You ❤️
I have gone to Five Star Wedding Gown Specialists three times in the past couple of years and plan to use them again soon. My first experience with Five Star Wedding Gown Specialis...
ts was not with a wedding gown but a 55 year old baptismal gown from a family member. I had cleaned it myself 25 years ago and thought I had done a great job. LOL. However, the aging of the gown made me search out an expert- that's Marissa Gonzales, the Manager & Restoration Specialist at Five Star. Wonderful, friendly, and professional individual. She looked it over and was so excited to be able to work with the restoration of this satin & lace hand sewn gown. It was ready when promised. I picked it up from Five Star - total shock! Instead of bringing out an off white gown, Marissa presented me with this gorgeous white baptismal gown! I actually said to her, "I don't think this is my gown. I think you've brought out the wrong one". Surprised she did a double take then laughed and reassured me it was mine. We were so much more than pleased with the outcome. After the baptismal, I've had it re-cleaned, stored in protective box, and returned to the original owner so now it's ready for the next baby to use.
They are the best. Very professional. My Grandaughters dress and my dress turn our so beautiful. When ever you need anything cleaned, pressed or tailored come here!
Marissa and the seamstress were very helpful in helping me figure out what would be best for me and to make my dress look great ! I highly recommend them for your dress alterations...

The ladies here are fantastic and very reasonable, I didnt feel like I was getting pressured to spend money unnecessarily and that I HAD to use them. Having run into multiple seams...
tresses that stressed how much they are a perfectionist and how much time they'll need and extra costs, it was a breath of relief to find a place that was laid back but also knew exactly what they were doing. They were very pleasant to work with and would recommend them to anyone.
