The Association of Wedding Gown Specialists (AWGS), a not-for-profit trade association of cleaners in eight countries who focus on caring for specialty gowns and luxury garments, recently launched an all-new website. Designed not only to appeal to wedding couples but also to provide AWGS members with a seamless and enriching experience, the new website includes a members’ only section featuring information and resources. To celebrate the new site, AWGS is offering membership in the association at half the initial fee plus free registration for the annual meeting February 22-25, 2024, at Dublin Cleaners in Columbus, Ohio.
Key features of the website and the special membership offer include exclusive trademarks and logos, training and technical support provided by industry leaders as well as access to resources, insights, and industry knowledge. Members also benefit from gown care labels referring brides to them, deeply discounted costs for vendor listings on top wedding websites, and special pricing on archival-quality wedding chests for preserving cherished gowns.
Greg and Margaret Butler of Dublin Cleaners, recipients of the prestigious Jack Barth Memorial Award of Excellence in 2022, shared their thoughts on the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists: "The meetings are amazing, being able to share and learn about a lot of ideas from other peers in this specialized service, as well as spending time with some really terrific people. Together with our son Brian, we look forward to hosting the meeting in February."
The special membership offer expires February 28, 2024. For more information, please contact AWGS at [email protected].
