    Southern Formals
    Shir F.

    Great Selection & Always Great Customer Service My fiancé and I were looking for a place to rent suits for the groomsmen for our wedding in April but after going to a couple of bigger name brand stores we were not at all impressed with the selection, prices, or service that we received and were getting kind of frustrated driving around looking.... When we came across Southern Formals. The store is tiny and a bit dated but we were greeted by the nicest gentleman when we walked in and he immediately took care of us and asked us what we were looking for our wedding day. Even though the display window had a really outdated tux and wedding dress on display inside they had a really beautiful selection of modern and elegant tuxedos and suits and ties and bow ties. We showed the gentleman there a photo of what we were looking for our daytime wedding in Ft Lauderdale and they helped us find exactly what we were looking for in no time. The guy helping us was so funny and had such a great sense of humor and made our day! We ordered a beautiful light grey suit with silver ties and black shiny shoes for the groomsmen and everyone at the wedding gave us so many compliments on how beautiful the suits looked and how great the quality of them were. If you're looking for a place to rent a suit or tuxedo, highly recommend Southern Formals! Picking up the suits was quick and easy and returning them was easy and quick too. Everything was just great and the service was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Southern Formals for helping make our wedding day so beautiful

    Class act!

    Total life saver! Jerry was quick and professional as soon as we walked into the door! The wedding is tonight and everything was closed Sunday and with the COVID pandemic, the rental place next to us was closed! We were afraid we would have to scrounge around Burlington Factory for a suit and not the appropriate tuxedo! Talk about last minute! So happy to have gone by previous reviews and made the trek up here! Now I have to find a dress for me! You guys don't have anything to worry about when it comes to formal wear, this place has the sizes and the professional experience to accommodate you! We were in a pinch and having Jerry tell us "no problem" with such short notice was clutch! Thank you so much Jerry! I'm writing this review as we wait for his suit! Can't wait to see him in it!

    We had an event in FL, we were coming from NJ. While in town we popped in, and the family owned business was welcoming, kind and accommodating. Within less than an hour, we had everything we needed for the event. The event was a few weeks away so upon are returning, the tuxedo was well fitted, beautiful and we needed to return the tuxedo on a Sunday, the owner was so accommodating, he allowed us to stop by his residence and returned the tuxedo.

    My best man and me in our tuxedos.

    Southern Formals is the best in town. It's my 3rd time doing business with them and they don't miss. They had my 12 groomsmen and me looking nice and sharp. 10/10.

    I was in a wedding party last weekend so the tuxedo rental place was chosen for me. They take walk-ins for the measurements which is nice and the whole process took about 10 minutes (another groomsman came with me) for both of us. The pickup and return window was kind of inconvenient. The wedding was on a Saturday afternoon and we were not able to pick up our Tuxes until the Thursday before at 4pm or all day on Friday. I work weird hours and was not able to go either Thursday or Friday, so one of the other groomsmen picked mine up for me and I took the risk that something wouldn't be right. It fit perfectly though and looked really great. The drop off was the following Monday, which I was working all day again, but I was able to have someone drop it off. A wider/more flexible pick and return process would make this a 5-star experience.

    Needed a tux for an out of town black tie wedding. Everything worked out great and got compliments from people at the wedding and on my social media photos after. The owner and other customers were wearing masks and I felt comfortable and safe.

    Came to get measured as a groomsman in a black tie wedding. The service was amazing from start to finish. The 2 gentlemen who took care of me were professional, pleasant and knowledgeable. The jacket, pants, vest, shirt and shoes fit perfectly. I would recommend them highly and without reservation.

    Looking good in my suit from Southern Formal at the wedding!

    Disappointed that a $90 shirt, still unopened, with receipt, could not be returned. Do not think I will shop there again.

Yes, sorry to confess, but I'm one those more enticed by exotic food and drink than the event itself. The problem however was that to attend, I needed a "Morning Suit." Something as simple as a tuxedo absolutely would not do. So, since I doubted that I would ever have need of a morning suit in the future, I thought it best to merely rent one along with a double cuffed turned down collared shirt. So it was this that brought me to Novias Bridal, assuming that besides wedding dresses and taking care of wedding plans they most likely suppled formal wear for men. When I arrived I found that you couldn't just walk into Novias. There is a doorbell button which I pushed, but nothing happened. However as I was leaving, someone came to the door. I asked about renting a morning suit, but we seemed to have some misunderstanding between a morning suit and a tailcoat suit. But it sort of got beside the point as they don't seem to carry anything like that and would have to find out whether or not a supplier had them and then order. So, I gave that up but while there I saw an amazing selection of wedding dresses which, of course, I envied. A young girl was looking one over, a dress I really liked and know that I would certainly look far better in it than her; and probably more deserving of it too. Don't you agree? So for wedding dresses and wedding planning they seem to be very good, but for gentlemen's attire whether you're going to a wedding or be in a wedding they don't seem to have much.

That said, Sam stepped in immediately and did everything he could to make it right. He worked quickly to find a replacement suit that worked in time for the wedding and was incredibly helpful, apologetic, and focused on making sure I left satisfied. During the event, a button popped off and I had to sew it back on myself, which added to the frustration. Overall, the experience could have been smoother, but I truly appreciate the effort Sam made to resolve the situation. The store also refunded a portion of the rental price, which I felt was fair. I don't place blame on anyone -- these were unfortunate circumstances -- but I do want to recognize Sam for going above and beyond to take care of his customer.
