“We have been using Oceanside for years and they’ve been nothing but perfect. I knew I could trust them with something as special as my wedding dress.”

When was your wedding?

My wedding was on January 18, 2025.

What was the name of your venue and why did you choose it?

Our venue was the Northeast Florida Marlin Association. We chose the Northeast Florida Marlin Association because we were both raised on the water and love any sort of activity that has to do with saltwater. We felt the location of the venue, being on the water, was the perfect fit for us.

Why did you choose to get your gown cleaned and preserved?

My wedding dress is so special to me, and I knew I could trust Oceanside with it. They were professional, careful and clearly experienced with gown cleaning and preservation. My dress looks beautiful, and I’m so glad I decided to get it cleaned and preserved.
