Looking for a Trustworthy Dry Cleaner

Hi,
I just got married and after the whirlwind day, when I took my gown off I noticed how much dirt and filth got all over the bottom of it!  I expected it to be dirty, but I am looking for a trustworthy dry cleaner in the Pittsburgh area.  It seems that the only PA wedding gown cleaning/preservation specialists are in Central or Eastern PA and I don't think I'm willing to go quite that far for this.  Any suggestions? 

Thanks!!  Laughing

    Not sure if this is too late or not, but if nothing else someone else might see it. I cannot stress enough how important it is to go to a trustworthy dry cleaner. After my first wedding, I was heartbroken when I took my dress to the local shop and they lost it. Yes, lost it. They called me up because there was another dress and they wanted me to see if it might be mine. It wasn't which means that some other poor bride out there also had the same thing happen to her. I was horrified. Eventually with enough persistence and almost a year later, they finally found it, but the experience was terrible. I never even thought that I might have to think about that--moral of the story. Make sure to check into your dry cleaner before just handing over your dress. And find out if they clean it in house or send it out to another company. That's what happened with mine--they sent it by truck to some other company with only a small tag that apparently falls off all the time. So please be careful with your dresses--especially if you're sentimental like me. There are a lot of memories in that dress.
