We did - everything was perfect. No problems with any of the 10 people who got them.

Thanks Annie02, I guess they aren't so popular on this board

We got our 7 tuxedos from VIP in Syosset. They had a good selection, and in the end the tuxedos looked great. *BUT* not ONE was initially tailored correctly. The morning before the wedding my husband was there for about 4 hours getting his and the groomsmen tuxedos re-altered. Apparently my fathers tuxedo was about 3 inches too short when he picked it up. Fortunately they could fix it in time.

We also used VIP in Syosset. Two of the jackets didn't fit when the guys went to pick them up, but VIP seems to have a very large warehouse and they sent larger sizes which fit perfectly. Overall I thought they did a great job and would recommend them highly.

We also used VIP Tuxedos in Syosset. Some of the bridal party, including the fathers, used their other locations in Commack, Massapequa and North Babylon.

Overall, we were very happy with everything. We rented a total of 9 tuxedos. My dad picked his tux up, and when he got home, we noticed he got the wrong tie (we put the dads in a solid color tie and the ushers in paisly). That was easily fixed when the next person went to pick up theirs, they gave him the right tie which was passed on to my dad. It was a good thing my dad didn't have to make the trip again. Two of the ushers jackets were a little snug, however, when they switched them between them, they were right. We just think they swithed the jackets on these two particular men.

In addition, as the bride, I got my gown cleaned, preserved and boxed for free. They did a wonderful job and I am very happy with saving the money on that.

Overall, I would use them again. We were very happy and the men looked wonderful!!
