FAQs

Brides and grooms should book appointments six to twelve months in advance to receive proper advice and information regarding formal wear attire and clothing. Remember advice is always free! A clothing presentation will be given to the bride and groom. During this presentation, the groom will try on his attire.

If you are wearing a suit to your wedding, the initial fitting should be six months prior to the wedding. If an alteration fitting is needed, it should be done 3 months prior to the wedding. Suits can be picked up three to four weeks before the wedding.

If you are wearing a tuxedo, fittings should be done three months prior to your wedding. Two days before your wedding, everyone should pick up and try on their tuxedos to ensure the right fit, (we insist upon it) and allow time for any adjustments, if needed. Tuxedos should be properly hung so they don’t wrinkle! Remember to always return your rental on time to avoid late fees.

Following these guidelines will allow you plenty of time for alterations so you are not worrying about your attire on your wedding day.
