Gerard Tuxedo

There is simple no comparison to this place and the national chain tux shops. I was in a wedding over a year ago and had a bad fitting/​slash service at one of those mall stores that shall go nameless. I knew i was getting married a year later (this summer 2014) and didn’t want a to go though what i did before. I saw a great Unilocal review and thought I’d give it a try.
Right away I was very impressed how nice and professional the sales staff was, they had fitted tuxedo’s that i was having a hard time finding at those other places.
I was happy as soon as I left the store so much so i wanted to give them a good Unilocal review as soon as I visited the store for the first time. I thought better and wait until after the wedding to see if I still had the same glowing feeling.
Not only was everything perfect, but 3 our the 5 grooms men were from other states and areas. This was no problem at all, they all got fitted at local tux shops by their houses and faxed in their measurements. And when me and my guys came in for the final fitting there were really only minor adjustments that needed to be made, the seamstress was right there and made the changes right on the spot which seemed like only took her 5 minutes. Again flawless.
All my guys told be how incredibly nice this place was and wished they had this place where they lived. Which made me extremely happy, my tux fee was even complementary since I’m the groom. Gerard Tuxedo did me right! Awesome Job!

Found this place when I needed a tuxedo for my wedding. I just googled «tuxedo rentals» and visited a few places that were nearby. This was the third place I had visited.
Immediately, I learned that the staff was VERY friendly and helpful. I didn’t get that type of service at other locations. I felt other tuxedo shops just want your money, and want you throw tuxedos on you. At Gerard, they seemed genuinely interested in getting me the tuxedo I wanted.
One thing that stood out is they always remembered my name when I would walk in or call. It really made me feel like they cared about the customer. This was especially important to me since I live out of town, and I only had a limited time in MI to find a tuxedo place, and fit in the fittings.
I had some very specific requests about my tuxedo (finding a very slim cut tuxedo), and they were able to accommodate them. They did most of the alterations and quick fixes in-​house while you waited. So when my cuffs and pants needed some adjusting, it only took 5 minutes.
I had the unfortunate timing of getting married during prom season. When I went in for my fitting, the place was very full. Despite this, they were able to help me almost immediately, and had alot of staff ready to meet the demand. Even though they were busy, I never felt like I was a piece on assembly line that they were trying to get out the door as fast as possible.
Regarding the fitting, they were very flexible on time, and even let me do an earlier fitting since I was coming in from out of town. I think I had my tuxedo for almost a week, since they wanted to make sure it fit correctly and didn’t go to the last minute.
Their prices seemed pretty comparable with what I would expect from a tuxedo shop. Overall, we rented 7 tuxedos from them, and one toddler tuxedo. No one involved in my wedding had any complaints.
I would love to say «I would go back here», but I don’t think I’ll be getting married again. Despite this, I have some friends getting married next year, and I recommended this place to them.
