Tux Rental Recommendations

So we are finally making our appointment to go look at tuxes probably this weekend. Does anyone have good sugestions for places around the metro area? My FI's only suggestion is that they have good services : )    Cute
Thanks for the help

The people at Savvi are pretty cool.

I have heard that The Wedding Shoppe in St. Paul does a really nice job with Tux's and has good service. FI's cousin did his tux's through there and had a really great experience.

Ditto Savvi! They are awesome!

Savii for sure.  FWIW, my sister got her tuxes at the Wedding Shoppe and wouldn't do it again.  When I got married 5 months after her, we never even considered it and went right to Savii.  The Wedding Shoppe gave the ring bearer an adult vest which had to get swapped out (thankfully they pulled it all out the day before and found it then) and my Dad was running around with a sewing kit putting buttons back on suits because they were literally dropping off.  It could be an isolated incident but she wasn't pleased with them whatsoever.

if you want a premo shopping experience, Heime's Haberdashery in St. Paul is a Savii tux retailer but you get the "upscale" shopping feel.  We sent our guys there the morning of our wedding for hot lather shaves which they loved!

I would also recommend AVOIDING the Wedding Shoppe. My sister used them, and they had nothing but problems: the guys didn't get the correct size shoes and some of their "pieces" didn't fit. Horrible service on the day of the wedding, and no sympathy from them afterward even though it was 100% their responsibility.

On the other hand, we used Mens Wearhouse (downtown Minneapolis location) and they were excellent. I'd especially recommend them if you have groomsmen who live out of town. We did, and it was easy for them, they could just go to a local Mens Wearhouse to be measured in advance, their size was added to our order in the computer, and their tux was ready at the Minneapolis store when they got to town for the wedding.

I also heard horror stories about the Wedding Shoppe (soles of the mens shoes coming off at the wedding, etc) but my brother used them and I was in charge of picking up the tuxes and everything went great.  They were very helpful and friendly.  But I also went in there expecting to be taken care of and insisted on checking over everything before I left, etc.  

We are going with Savvi Formalwear in Blaine.  We had a great ordering experience there.  If you go with Savvi, get on the mailing list and wait for a coupon to come to you in the mail.  Every little bit helps.  I would definitely recommend going there.

We're also going with Savvi; the Rosedale location.
