Carolyn Allen

[tinkerbell 766]

I am trying to work out rough budgets and wondered if anybody knows roughly how much Carolyn Allen charges to hire a whole gents wedding outfit (jacket, trousers, shirt, tie and shoes). I know it depends on the style chosen but I just need a rough idea. I also need the same info for an outfit for a 10 year old ring-bearer.
Also roughly how much does she charge to steam a wedding dress and short bridesmaid dress in a Disney resort room?
Thanks so much

Not sure about tuxes yet...but I was quoted $85 to steam my dress.:)
From the confirmation e-mail: The price of the bridal gown steaming/pressing is $85, which includes a short veil and a wrap. Crinolines (slips), cathedral-length veils, additional dresses, and tuxedos/suits are $20 each.

A fullback vest may be added for an additional $15. The style of shoe may also be changed for an additional $20.

Just as another thought for the dress steaming I contacted Loftis Productions on the Disney approved vendor list to steam my gown with attached train it is $75, I get a free tux (or BM dress) steaming as I contacted them through their website at www.loftisproductions.com the tux would normally be $25 and the BM dress is $15 and she comes to your room. I spoke with Amy my planner and she was there for Lori's interview to get to be a preferred vendor and she said Lori Loftis does a lot of the styling for their comercials as well. She is also a personal shopper and personal styler and she's cheaper than Carolyn Allen's.

Thank you for pointing me in the direction of this other steaming company. Another one to consider.

No problem! I was very happy with her quote and if you mention the website you get either a suit or a bm dress free! Plus she's sending someone out to the hotel for me on Sunday while DF is golfing so now I can be sure he won't see the dress during the steaming!

There is also the Men's Warehouse that I've read people rave about how helpful they have been (and will deliver) about but I can't remember which one....:headache:
