Tux Stores in Long Island/Queens

Hi, Try Dante in Westbury. Ask for Mike(owner). He hooked us up with a nice package and we shopped around. I would say avoid zeller. Ive heard from on this board and seen 1st hand by going there what a joke they are. We couldnt even see any styles to try out. It was all to be picked from a book. Mike took the time to let us play dress up for about 1 hr before deciding what we wante. We found them online at www.dantetux.cjb.net Good luck., Lisa

My opinion would be to invite him, and if you can though not as important, his wife. In the end, they might not show. We invited our priest and he politely declined.

Hi - not to worry. We didn't order our tuxes until a month before the wedding and everything was perfect. We used Flowerama in Bayside - all new styles, great quality, wide variety of vests & ties, tailor on the premises...We picked up the tuxes 3 days before the wedding (pretty standard, I was told) and any last minute alterations were done right there. We went to a few others before deciding on them...again, the quality was outstanding and the service was the best we'd seen!

Our BM lives in Seattle, WA. He went to a tux shop out there, called us with the measurements, we gave the measurements to Flowerama & they ordered one for him. He arrived in town 2 days before the wedding. He was fitted, minor alterations were done in a day and looked quite dashing in time for Saturday! :)

Our cost per tux - inc. shoes, cufflinks, sales tax etc. - was $145 each. Yes, you CAN get it cheaper...But Paul really liked the staff (clearly knowledgable!) & the quality of the material....and since I spent over $1200 on my attire for the day, I figured spending another $50 to make him feel good was certainly worth it!

Hi Heather, Your most welcome. I'm sure after meeting w/ Mike, you will do your tuxes right on the spot. He would probably meet with you on a Sun if you asked him to. We were going to do that but wound up going in on a Sat morning instead. Hope all works out. Lisa

Hi. Dante Tuxedo (Mike) did a good job for the guys in my sisters wedding. I will probably use them for mine in September. I agree DON'T USE ZELLER. I heard alot of bad things about them.

I am working on a makeup person too. I wear makeup during the day- but it never looks fantastic. If I try to do it myself on that day, I know I will get upset if it doesn;t turn out right...i'll be worried about the pics and all.So I am in search of makeup .....
