My daughter wanted to wear her grandmother’s wedding dress from 1965! It was a yellowed, horrible mess of a dress that had been wadded up in a grocery bag for decades. Kroner Drycleaners worked MIRACLES and made the dress brand new again!! It was a perfect dress and a beautiful remembrance of my Mom who died when my daughter was only 5 months old. I am so grateful for the work Kroner did to help make the wedding day so incredibly special! We even recreated some of the pics from my Mom’s wedding in 1965. Thank you Kroners!!

I have been using Kroner Dry Cleaners for over 30 years. They are the best in Cincinnati! I did the alterations on my niece’s wedding dress before her June destination wedding. After the destination wedding, she needed the dress cleaned and pressed before she could wear it again at their reception celebration here at home. I knew there was no better cleaners in Cincinnati for the job than Kroner’s. After another small alteration, I contacted Ray Kroner and he assured me they would have plenty of time to clean and press the dress before the big day. The dress turned out beautiful and the bride couldn’t have been happier. Like I said before, Kroner’s is the best dry cleaners in Cincinnati!!

The owner and staff are absolutely amazing. I just got my preserved dress back the other day and I was so happy when I saw it. It looks so beautiful. Thank you Kroners for being part of our special day.

I've known of Kroner's Dry Cleaners for my whole life. So when my daughter got married and needed her dress pressed after some alterations by her aunt there was no question about where to take it. It looked beautiful and ready for the big day. Kroner's do a great job and their staff is always so pleasant. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I brought my wedding gown into Kroner to have it cleaned prior to our wedding and the service was amazing! The dress I had bought was from store that lost many dresses to water damage and Kroner was able to make my dress brand new for my big day! Then, after the wedding when I re-dirtied my dress, I had it cleaned and boxed and it looks good as new for safe keeping! HIGHLY recommend. Nice staff and great work!

I had originally had Kroner’s preserve my wedding dress 40 years ago and when my daughter opened it, it was beautiful. The years did not take their toll on it. After being used, I wanted to preserve it yet again. I made the mistake and took it to another dry cleaner. That dry cleaner ruined the bodice of my dress. They gave it back to me along with my precious veil, rolled up in plastic bag as though it was garbage. They said “no charge”. I was devastated to say the least. I took my dress and veil to Kroner’s, and they took my dress and removed the melted beads from the bodice and preserved my dress once again. I have complete faith in the entire crew at Kroner’s and will not be taking any of my dry cleaning anywhere else ever again. They know what they are doing plus they are so pleasant and kind. It’s one less stressor in your life. You’re clothes are well taken care of there; and the prices are reasonable also. Thanks for being so trustworthy.

They under promised & over delivered! The gal that took my dress said it would likely take at least a month. It was three weeks. Price was lower than what I had seen to expect from my research. Great window preview box. So I was able to see my beautifully cleaned dress. The previous reviews I had read were spot on about this place!!!

I had Kroner Dry Cleaners clean, preserve, and box my wedding dress and veil, and they did a fantastic job!! I was also pleasantly surprised at how fairly priced the whole process was...some of the other preservation services I looked at around town were much more expensive. Great customer service, explaining the process to me, and my dress came back looking brand new and ready to be put away for another day. <3

The best cleaning/wedding gown preservation! I got married in a vineyard and wore my dress for 10+ hours and then wore it again for a second reception at a banquet hall. The bottom was so dirty but Kroner cleaned my dress so well it looks brand new and spotless. It’s lace so I’m extra happy to keep it preserved for my daughter or granddaughter someday! Definitely recommend - their service and talent can’t be matched and they're so friendly!

I have entrusted Kroner Dry Cleaning with the cleaning and preservation of two wedding gowns so far. One daughter had an outdoor wedding and her dress wore the evidence. Kroner’s returned the dress to its original beauty. My other daughter had pictures taken outdoors and around downtown Cincinnati. After pictures and a night on the dance floor, her gown was rather soiled. Again, Kroner’s worked their magic and restored the gown to its full glory. The staff is marvelous to work with. I highly recommend Kroner’s for your dry cleaning needs.

We have known the Kroner’s for quite some time and we were so happy with all of our experiences here. I have had bridesmaids dresses ruined from being black at the bottom and kroners have made every dress look brand new. Maripat altered my wedding gown and did phenomenal. Although my bustle broke about an hour into dancing, she made my gown look and fit perfect for the big day. She was flexible in meeting with me, delivered exactly what i asked for, and was a pleasure to work with with. Kroners dry cleaned my gown and I’m sure will leave it looking almost brand new :) ray and his team are amazing and I would trust them with my gown any day!

My daughter Morgan had her wedding dress preserved at Kroners and they did an awesome job! There was mud on the bottom of her dress from pictures at the park but when I picked up the dress, it was back to its original look! Sami at Kroners could not have been nicer! They also text you when your dress is ready so no need to call and check! Very convenient! Kroners is the safe bet to preserve your wedding dress. This is the second time I used Kroners for a daughters wedding dress. Both times the dresses came out perfect!

Not only are my specific needs always met, every repair I’ve needed has turned out better than I ever could have expected. I feel like I have a brand new dress after taking it to Kroner’s.

For an extremely reasonable cost, they took my dress from dirty to pristine condition! Not only was I impressed with the dress, but the customer service and communication was exceptional as well!
Along with my wedding dress, I have had a number of bridesmaid dress alterations completed. With each dress, the communication has been consistent throughout the entire process. They have gone above and beyond to ensure each dress fit perfectly.
I would highly recommend Kroner for all wedding dress cleaning, preservation and alterations. Their customer service is exceptional, and I have left impressed with each visit!

Kroner’s Dry Cleaners is awesome! While we have always used Kroner’s for all of our dry cleaning needs, we recently had the opportunity to trust them with our most treasured wedding apparel. We contacted Maripat to do all of our alterations from the grooms suit, bridesmaid dresses to mother of the grooms dress. She did a wonderful job as always. We even looked forward to seeing her at all for all of our fittings. Of course after the wedding we trusted them to do all of the dry cleaning and to preserve the wedding dress as well. Needless to say they did not disappoint! Thank you for taking such good care of us and for treating us like family!

I was so impressed with their attention to detail and how clean everything came out (I had a ton of fun dancing and my dress got pretty dirty). One of Kroner's fantastic alterations specialist, MariPat, did an absolutely amazing job on making the dress of my dreams! I had bought an "off the rack" dress that was 2 sizes too big and MariPat made it fit like a glove, even with all of the detailed lace! She is so talented and I couldn't think of a better person to trust with my dress! I highly recommend Kroner's for alterations and preservation of dresses!!
