Bernard's were a great help with assisting our wedding party. The plus was that they were so accommodating when selecting attire.

We were very happy with our Bernard's experience. They listened to what we wanted for the groom/groomsmen and helped us make it a reality. When picking the tuxes up, they had replacements on site so items that didn't fit quite right could be switched out and we didn't have to come back. Thank you.

We had nothing but excellent service from Bernard's when choosing our tuxes, trying them on, reserving them, picking them up, and dropping them off. They were courteous, responsive, and provided exactly what we expected with no issues. Everything was pressed and prepared when we arrived prior to the wedding, and they were able to make last minute adjustments for one of the groomsmen. Their prices were also better than the alternatives. We would recommend them to anyone in the community.

We really enjoyed using Bernard's Formalwear for the tuxedos for our Duke Chapel wedding. The staff was so friendly and helpful and the selection was amazing. I loved that everything was in house so when the guys tried on their stuff if something wasn't just right there was options to adjust the sizes. I would highly recommend this vendor and suggest that people support local business. We strived to use all local businesses and it made such a difference in the service you get and helping our community.

The groomsmen looked great and the tuxes were perfect!! They were easy to work with, well-organized, and very polite.

Bernard's served as a fine place to rent our tuxedos from. All of their sales people were very sweet and easy to work with. They had a beautiful selection and were very flexible about when we could come pick up our tuxes. Although one of the buttons popped off my groom's suit as we were walking down the aisle, other than that the value of the tuxes was right on. They looked beautiful in photos!

We rented the tuxes for our bridal party and fathers from Bernard's Formalwear. The rental prices were a bit higher than other competitors, but they had a much larger selection for vest/tie colors and patterns (including one that perfectly matched our bridesmaids dresses). Everyone was very nice when we visited the shop, but things seemed a bit unorganized. There were quite a few guys whose tuxes were not right when we initially picked them up. I was surprised how many sizes/details the shop had mixed up. In the end, after quite a bit of scrambling, the guys all had the correct tuxes by the time of the ceremony, but they did cut it very close (as the bride, I found out about this well after the ceremony and I'm glad I did not know at the time because it would have been very stressful). The tuxes looked great once we had all the right pieces.

The man here didn't give us the right vest's... and his timing was bad and one of his shirt's had a blue stain on it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
