Cheap Wedding Suit Hire

adamski911

Hi,
Can anyone recommend where is the cheapest place to hire tailcoat full wedding suits ie 5 piece from?
I need 7 and was looking to pay no more than 500 in total.
I was going to originally go to burtons as I found them the cheapest but apprently they have pulled the suit hire from there shops.
Ideally I would like to be able to try them on and I also live in the greater manchester area?

Cheers

Until 31st March Moss Bros have a one suit free if you hire 5 or more. It's not quite within your budget I'm afraid, but gets it down a bit! The suits we like are £99, but some are £95.

We are getting them from Debenhams, i think before they got theirs from the same place as burtons but have now changed their supplier and they come from youngs now, we had a few complications as we were due in to book them as the change over was happening so they asked to arrange for the weekend after. I think the tailcoats may be slightly more but we went for Prince Edwards. The package was £85 for jacket, trousers, shirt, waistcoat and cravat and the groom goes free apart from the £7 (i think it was) insurance. If you pop in there they have brochures and price lists now, as far as I know the information has not been updated on debenhams website yet but the staff in store were very helpful, hope this helps

we're thinking of using formally yours they are based online and post out the suits to you
http://www.formallyyours.co.uk/ their outfits are now £57 each, include jacket, trousers, shirt, waistcoat, cravat and handkerchief (then add £5 for each address they are sent to). They do tailcoats.

We had some fabric samples sent to us free and they look pretty good. We'll probably ensure all our men are measured professionally to make sure we order the correct sizes.

In fact if anyone has any feedback about them we'd love to hear it.

Ours are from a local bridal shop and cost £79 each for the full 'kit', plus groom goes free if over 5 ordered - comes to under £500. So try your local bridal shops is my recommendation

We're hiring ours from Slaters. There is one in Bolton and one in Manchester that I know of, possibly others around too.

They do a deal that if you hire 4 you get another one free. The service was fantastic and they had lots of choice. I think they start about £65 depending on what you want (no cravat or hankercheif brings the price down, cufflinks and shoes take it up).

I highly recommend the Bolton store

I was going to recommend Slaters aswell, never had an issue with them. Hire 4 and get the 5th free (and its the most expensive that goes free according to what I was told).

I'm pricing up suite hire at the moment, although only need 2, possibly 3 suits.

Also, are we supposed to suit and boot the father in law??

I've been told that a1 Bride in Wigan is good, although I haven't had chance to check out prices yet. So do try your local bridal shops

donnap83 - I'd say it depends on your relationship with him & whether or not you want to! I don't think we will, as I'm sure he has an expensive suit of his own that he could wear. Will be doing groom, 2 best men (as H2B is indecisive!), and my brother (as he doesn't have a suit so needs one).

Saying that, depending on price & style, we might just kit the best men out with a tie if they have a nice suit. Might also actually buy brother a suit if prices are £95 to hire!
