Fantastic service from these wonderful friendly people. Rented three suits for my wedding day and they were fantastic. The suit fitting was so relaxed and hassle free and we were given great advice and suggestions. Ultimately getting exactly what we asked for. The bride's approval was proof enough of this.
Thank You for making this portion of the wedding planning so stress free and pleasant. Will certainly be recommending you to everyone who needs a suit.

Thank you so much for fitting us in Wednesday without an appointment for a dinner suit hire! We walked in Without an appointment because we didn’t think 😂 but was so happy that they could fit us in. Sophie served us was so helpful and defiantly knew what she was talking about when fitting, I just thought a suit was a suit well thank god for Sophie because I wouldn’t have had a clue! So my Son now has a prom suit at such a reasonable price! I am so happy! Defiantly recommend!

Good selection of suits, enough to tailor to most clients needs. Very helpful staff, willing to help even if you haven't got an appointment. The staff member that helped me was very plesant (Sophie) offered advice on best fits etc of the suits.

Would recommend for a local place rather than travelling into the city

After reading some reviews with
Mixed reviews on this shop (which we now know Is all lies) we are so over the moon we didn’t believe them! We hired our wedding suits with yourselves and thank you again so much, you guys really know your stuff! All of the staff we dealt with where so friendly! We changed our order at late notice due to adding a groomsman all I can say is wow! Going the extra mile is an understatement this shop isn’t just for money they actually care about making sure your day is special! I had purchased my wedding dress/ bridesmaid dress with You guys as well, at all times I have felt nothing but welcome and relaxed! David has such attention to detail which gave me such confidence in our purchases! And with the fittings of the groomsmen once we had picked the suits, the lads could go in when was good for them without us being there to be fitted we didn’t have to measure them ourselves I can’t say enough about this shop! Our wedding day was Amazing Thank you all so much!!

Hi Harry,
Thank you so much for your kind review, we do try so hard to offer a high level of customer service, and appreciate we are not going to please everyone. We have felt some reviews have been unfair, and it is with great thanks that you have taken the time to write a more positive response.
Being part of anyone's Wedding is a privilege, and for us we want to make ensure every detail is right for your Special Day.
I'm so glad you found our Wedding File Service helpful, as we recognise how valuable Weekends are between booking and your Wedding Day.
Thank you Again.
