What to Expect

Before You Arrive

Once you’ve popped the question and the planning process for your big day has begun, we recommend booking an appointment to visit our showroom with just your partner initially, well in advance of when you’ll need your suits. We suggest at least 6-9 months before your big day.

The reason why we recommend starting the suit shopping process far earlier than you may feel you need to is because choosing outfits for your whole wedding party can take longer than you think, especially when you’re trying to arrange suits for a big group! Your outfit choices will also impact other aspects of your wedding day and set other decisions in motion, plus once you know what you want you can build this into your wedding budget.

You can always pop into our showroom at any time just to have a look around and pick up a brochure but to ensure we have a member of our team ready to take care of you, we do suggest arranging a time with us for your visit so that we can properly show you round and explain our offering. We also have the majority of our suits here on our website.

Your First Visit

When you head to our showroom for your first visit, we like to keep things as welcoming, friendly and organised as possible.

Trying on suits is something that fears a lot of men, so we understand that you might be feeling a little less enthusiastic than your bride at this point. Once you’ve arrived, one of our team will be introduced to you, they’ll take care of you throughout your time in the showroom and work closely with you to find the perfect outfit.

We have a range of refreshments available, including a beer fridge hidden within the buildings original safe, which you will be offered on arrival before being shown to our showroom and your private changing area where you will be trying on various options.

The main goal of your first visit is for you and your bride to decide on the right outfit for the big day.  Choosing a specific suit & style can take some time and it’s good for couples to agree on colours and styles not just for the groom but also the extended wedding party.  We will work with you until you’re in an outfit that you both love!

Once you have decided on your wedding outfits, we’ll then discuss the next steps for arranging your party to be measured and how we deal with measuring boys and members who are from far afield and who may not be able to make it to us for their fitting.

The Next Steps

Choosing your outfits is the hard part, after that is only plain sailing as we take care of the rest.

We’ll book in your party for their fittings, be it individually or in a group, we don’t mind, whatever works best for you and your men. You don’t even need to be there if you don’t want! During each fitting we’ll dress your party in the outfits you have chosen, explain what is and isn’t included and show them how everything should look.

If you are hiring your suits, they will arrive in store one week before your wedding date, meaning you have plenty of time to come and collect them and try them on one last time before the mig day to make sure everything is spot on.

If you’re buying your suits, these will arrive in store as soon as you’d like them. If you think your size or shape may change then we recommend waiting until nearer the time to order your suits, so we’ll take initial measurements when we first meet you and discuss the latest time we could have you back in before ordering your suits.

Afterwards

After your wedding or event, there is no need to launder your suits, simply return all hirewear items as soon as possible but by no later than the Thursday after your event date. Please do check our opening hours to save you a wasted trip!

We know you’ll most likely be jetting off on honeymoon straight away but once you’re home and have had your wedding photographs back we do love to see your pictures or videos from the big day! and if you’re happy we’ll share them on our Cheshire Gents page and our social media pages. Don’t forget to tag us in your own pictures sporting your Cheshire Menswear suits!
