Wedding Planning Update #16B - Men’s Wardrobe II
I realize I never actually posted that after much annoyance and a feeling of being scammed, we decided NOT to go with After Hours for the tuxedos after all. The last straw was basically when I got a postcard in the mail telling me we had to get all the men measured by March 17th for our August wedding. This was after we found out the “free” groom’s tux wasn’t completely free, there were added charges to everyone’s rental, and the “airfare or cruise” offers WERE too good to be true.
Before we actually made the decision to dump After Hours, I called the people at Dante Zeller Tuxedos to get their “real deal.” I’d already signed up with them at the Halloween Bridal Show I went to in October to get the menswear for about $50 less than AH. So today Kris and I ventured out to re-select the tuxes and get measured - again. Well, not only are the tuxes $50 less, but the people at Dante were super-nice and helpful. The basic tuxes are the same, but both Kris and I like the brand-new jackets we were able to select, as well as the solid color vests instead of the pattern we had previously chosen. Even if I hadn’t gone to the show, this company would have been a better deal. And though Dante Zeller is more of a local company than AH, they will accept a phone call of measurements from any tux shop!
Basically we’re both satisfied, and it’s one more thing we can finally check off the list!
