Marlene, the seamstress, nailed it!!!! I bought a sample dress, top size 12 and bottom size 10. I'm a 0. Marlene completely transformed the dress while maintaining its integrity. W...
e started off with one fitting where she took the back and sides in. The 2nd fitting was for the bottom of the dress, finished off with a steaming service! Highly recommend! Maria at the front is a pleasure to work with.
My wife and I took her dress to LaSalle Cleaners after performing in two ceremonies to restore the dress to "like new". We were blown away by the attention to detail in the work th...
ey did. I accidentally tore some mesh on the dress in the hotel room and the bottom was dirty from dancing but Jessica and the team at LaSalle brought it right back to how it was when we purchased it. Very pleased with the outcome.
I would stay far away from LaSalle Cleaners. I had what only can be described as a terrible experience with them. They ruined my designer Berta gown and refused to refund any of my...
money. I paid close to $1000 including cleaning and preservation and they added stains to my dress. My gown now has yellow staining all over, which long story short they attributed to how the dress was made. I went back and forth for months with no follow up from Maria or the store's owner Jessica. I was constantly having to call and touch base because they would never call back. When they finally refused to refund my money and I went to pick up my dress, one of the employees felt so terrible that she hesitated to take payment from me and even stated that what they were doing by refusing to make amends for the situation was completely wrong. I used this cleaners based off of a recommendation from Chic Parisien which is where I purchased my gown so I trusted that they would be the best in Miami but I was completely wrong. I would NEVER use this cleaning service again. BEWARE!
Amazing! They leave your dress brand new! Great service and attentive. You can trust leaving your dress with them.
excellent!!!the best job ever done! dont look for any other place...this is the only one!!! Maria

They did an amazing job cleaning and preserving my beach wedding full length lace gown. Needless to say there were more than a few bits in my train but they did a wonderful job. ...
The process took a while but it was a quick drop off and talk and then they reminded me to pick it up. It is a little pricey but they offer various discounts and everyone I've spoken with who has been married down here has recommended them - now I do too!
I had to have my gown cleaned in less than two weeks and Francesca came to the rescue. They did it rushed and they even fixed things on my dress that my seamstress missed. My dress...
came out better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend Francesca and her entire team to all brides out there! They saved me and made me look like a princess on my wedding day!
I originally went to La Salle to restore a 100 year old veil. At the time they told me that it would take 3 weeks to fix it and that it would cost me around $100.00. 2 weeks later ...
Francesca called and told me that the veil was ready. The restoration was done beautifully, the veil looked new. On that day I noticed that they had a seamstress on premises and I asked if they could add a comb to my veil. They added the comb in less than a week and then they helped me pack my veil in a tiny pouch since I was traveling. I also had to take my new dress to them to get some yellow spots removed that apparently were caused by water in a steamer when the dress was being altered. At first, they were hesitant to touch the dress but in the end all the spots were removed and the dress looked beautiful!
Even thought is a little expensive, I see it as an investment, since my wedding gown is an expensive one I want my dress to be perfect in 10 years. Franchesca was very friendly and...
helpful. My dress looks perfect
My daughter truly got her money's worth from her dress. So much so that the dress needed CPR after the wedding. At first I wasn't sure anyone could fix the damages, spilled drink...
s, snags from the bracelet she wore, hem was dirty and a mess. I asked around and LaSalle was recommended. Thank God!! I worked with Lola throughout the process and at first I was skeptical as I didn't think they would be able to restore it. Lola was patient and explained the entire process to me. She kept me updated on the process. They were honest in their quote and work. The dress has been restored to it's original splendor and we didn't need some of the additional work we were afraid would be needed. I'm so grateful that I found them. I also had them clean my dress as well. I'm an extremely satisfied client!!
I was referred to LaSalle by the bridal salon where I purchased my dress...and I understand why they come so highly recommended. Everyone that I came into contact with in person an...
d over the phone was so genuinely friendly and professional. My dress is so neatly and beautifully preserved that I'm hesitant to even open it completely! Very nice touch that they include the gloves for dainty handling! Thank you LaSalle! I'm having a second wedding in my home country, and I already know where I will be taking that second dress!
Coral Gables LaSalle Cleaners is great to work with! Lola, who manages the gown preservation department, has been extremely responsive and knowledgeable --same day callbacks (whic...
h are a rarity in Miami)! Looking forward to working with them to preserve my gown!
I had been searching for a place that could restore and perform some alterations to my Mother's 50 year old wedding gown for my daughters wedding. We came across LaSalle Cleaners ...
and myself, along with my 3 daughters, mother and sister made an appointment with Lola to get an opinion on what could be done. My mothers gown was a blush pink, which had lost its coloring with age. Lola, and her staff, took on the challenge with honesty, integrity and love. My daughter also chose a new gown, with all of our blessings, as an alternative. The second time we visited LaSalle and Lola was to see the progress and to decide which way my daughter wished to go. Lola and her staff made us feel like family and what they had done with my mothers gown and the original blush color was miraculous! We all were overwhelmed! More than their expertise and care for what was is so valuable to us, is their genuine love for what they do and for what they feel is best for the bride and her family. I am so thrilled and feel so blessed to have Lola restoring and altering my mothers dress for my daughter...it is as if she is doing it for her own daughter. I feel so blessed and cannot believe how lucky we are to have found them!
I can't begin to tell you how nervous I was when my daughter said she wanted to wear her grandmother's wedding gown from 1947! The gown was designed by my mother and is all slippe...
r satin with leaf beaded appliques and a beautiful long and full train. I called every place I could think of and either no one wanted to risk damaging the gown or they were way to eager to try! Finally, I found LaSalle and it was a godsend. They inspected the gown, pointed out all the questionable and delicate areas and told me that they would do their very best and handle our dress with care and detailed attention. I felt very comfortable with leaving the gown in their competent hands. They made no false promises of perfection, but they did promise to use all their years of knowledge and experience to have the gown turn out beautiful! I trusted them and they fulfilled their claim. The gown looks absolutely fantastic!! My daughter and I are thrilled with the results. My mother would be, too! Thank you Lola for all the time and energy and attention to detail. You have made this one bride and her family,very, very happy!
they were very professional and informative. Great place to go!!
I purchased a Vera Wang sample wedding dress from a prestigious Coconut Grove bridal boutique, and they recommended that I take the sample dress for cleaning at LaSalle. My experi...
ence with LaSalle was so positive that I even had them make all of the alterations on my dress.
Regarding the alterations, the seamstress is absolutely fabulous. She was friendly, patient, and professional. I had 3 total fittings with her, and she made suggestions on length and fit every step of the way. She even sewed on my sash so that it wouldn't slip or move on the Big Day. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her!
Regarding cleaning, the dress looked perfectly ivory and stain-free on my Big Day. The bridal consultant Lola expressed some concern over a few stains on the under-arms of the dress, but they were able to remove these stains altogether. The tulle skirt looked so shiny, as well.
Overall, I would recommend LaSalle for pre-wedding cleaning. Just be sure to clearly explain what you want and be assertive. Sometimes it was difficult getting a hold of Lola on the phone, but I chalk that up to me living in Palm Beach Gardens and her running on Cuban time... Lol! Regardless, my dress looked beautiful; and it was ready to go ahead of the agreed-upon pick-up date. I plan on taking my dress back to LaSalle for post-wedding preservation.
I had my wedding dress hanging in the closet for months, not sure of where to take it to and afraid that that it would be ruined by a dry cleaning company. I decided to take it to ...
La Salle. Lola was extremely helpful, explaining the process and making sure I was taken care of. I can't wait to see my clean dress!
The customer service was fantastic and Lola, the wedding gown specialist, was phenomenal! She paid attention to my needs and was very professional and detail oriented. I took my w...
edding gown to get pressed and cleaned before my wedding day and they were punctual and had my dress ready before the due date. I also took it there to be cleaned afterwards and they did a good job too. I highly recommend La Salle Cleaners.
I bought a sample dress that was discontinued. I had them clean and alter my dress. Great customer service. Very personable and willing to make my dress perfect to fit my needs!
After my wedding I was so nervous about having my gown dry cleaned. The last thing I wanted was for it to be ruined... i am planning on displaying it in my house as a piece of art!...
So i looked up the dry cleaners with the best reputation in south Florida and Coral Gables Dry Cleaners came up right away! I contacted them, made an appointment to bring in my gown, they were super friendly and patient. Answered all my questions and also educated me about the preservation process, which I ended up also paying for. The dry cleaning process took about 50 days and I was contacted by Lola, their wedding gown specialist and she asked me to stop by to review the gown before the preservation process was done. I almost cried when I saw my gown again just as new!! It was pretty dirty after wearing it for 14 hours and I was amazed by their magic! Lola spent time with me answering questions once again and a week later she called me to let me know the gown is ready to be picked up!
This process could not have been easier. I am incredibly happy and excited.
Thank you Coral Gables Dry Cleaners for making me feel welcomed, special and valued as a customer and as a bride.
They have been in business for a very long time and come very highly recommended.
I recently took my dress to La Salle after five years of sitting in my closet. The dress had a few small stains (that had not been removed by another dry cleaner after the wedding...

ized , which made me feel comfortable leaving my gown with them. After spending so much money on the gown that we have waited our whole lives to wear, you should never skimp on the cleaning process ! If you want immaculate service and quality , don't hesitate to go with LaSalle ! Five stars all around!
Thank you for everything!
I have been a loyal client of LaSalle cleaners in Coral Gables for many years and I knew I would be able to trust them with the important job of cleaning and preserving my wedding ...
gown. The managers and staff were so kind, helpful and attentive. They looked at every detail that needed to be taken care of and handled delicately. And my dress looked just as white, bright and beautiful as the day I picked it up from the bridal boutique for my wedding...they cleaned my dress so well, it looked brand new and impeccable! I'm so grateful for their outstanding service and making me feel confident my dress was in the right hands. They placed my preserved dress in a lovely box which I will always treasure.

s of how my dress would be cleaned and preserved and made sure to look at my dress together with me to ensure every part of my dress was perfect.

My wedding gown is a custom Pnina Tornai piece which is heavily adorned with Swarovski crystals and is exclusive to Kleinfeld's Bridal in NYC. Super gorgeous gown, yet extremely di...
fficult to clean due to the intricate details and varied textures. Living in Miami, the thought of traveling back and forth to NYC was not an option- I needed a local cleaner to get my dress wedding day ready. As such, I was deeply encouraged by Kleinfeld's official cleaners in CT, to try La Salle's in Coral Gables. They said La Salle's is the only cleaners they'd trust with a Pnina, other than themselves- they could not have been more right! Julia, Maria and Marleny were all very attentive and extremely accommodating. Most notably was the owner Jessica, who was extremely responsive, very attentive, and communicated with me every step of the process. Needless to say, my gown came out wonderful!!! The crystals were blindingly polished, and the tulle and lace were vividly white.
I met these wonderful ladies at the Brides Against Breast Cancer event and they were so helpful! I went in for my first fitting this week and they explained the whole process of cl...
eaning my gown as well as detailed steps of alteration. Although I haven't seen the finished product, I have no doubt LaSalle Cleaners will do an amazing job! I highly recommend them and their staff are all very friendly and helpful!!!

arried in Cincinnati last September, I called and asked if they cleaned and preserved wedding gowns. The 3rd generation owner, Jessica Lancaster, told me that handling wedding dresses was one of their specialties. I sent the gown to Coral Gables, and they cleaned and preserved it, boxed it beautifully and sent it back to me in Cincinnati. My daughter and I were so pleased that when my second daughter was married 8 months later...we sent her dress as well. I would definitely recommend Coral Gables LaSalle Cleaners for wedding dresses and all your dry cleaning needs!!

ven running back in the pouring rain and they did an incredible job cleaning the train and lower portion to the point that you can not even tell it was black from dirt. It was absolutely museum quality with perfectly layered tissue paper folded around my packed wedding dress. They even provided little white gloves to preserve the dress from hand oils if I ever decided to take it out.
The dress is like a new one....was very dirty after the party!
