    Professional and friendly!

    This was not our first time working with GQ Formalwear, and should we ever need them again, we wouldn’t hesitate to return! The entire process was seamless; the initial fitting was quick, but with zero sacrifice of thoroughness – the tuxes fit perfectly! We were able to utilize their pick-up service as well, which was incredibly convenient. There are plenty of places you can go to get a tux rental, but the quality of the formalwear itself, and the service and expertise from the staff at GQ Formalwear cannot be beat!

    Fab 5 for the win

    We selected GQ formalwear in Shaumburg for our tuxes because we were selected for the fab 5 deal in which the groom receives a free tux rental and a suit of his choosing to keep after the wedding. We were very happy with the way the tuxes looked and the service we received. Communication with the store was excellent during the fitting process for the guys, and free pickup from the hotel the morning after the wedding couldn't have been easier. I would highly recommend GQ formalwear to anyone in need of tuxes for their wedding.

    Gentlemen's Quarters Formalwear's reply:

    We are pleased you enjoyed you experience with us. Here at GQ we pride our selves with personal service and attention to detail. Thank you again for your business.

    Above and beyond!

    Ed and his team in the Schaumburg office gave the Groom, Groomsmen, and Jr. Groomsmen great advice and service! He was willing to go above and beyond to ensure each man looked perfect! He has a personal approach, and is very patient with everyone involved including the BRIDE!

    Terrific Tuxes

    I rented tuxedos from GQ Formalwear for my wedding and I was quite happy with the entire experience. Ed is a quality guy and very friendly. He and his staff definitely know what they are doing and they put us in excellent-looking tuxes for the wedding day. They suggested options to help me create a cohesive look for the wedding party. In addition to my own tuxedo, we rented tuxes for five groomsmen, an usher, my father, and my father-in-law. All of our tuxes fit great, looked snappy, and were quite comfortable to wear for an entire day. They have a great selection of tux/suit options here and multitude of accent colors. Since we rented so many tuxes, I received a custom-tailored suit, which looks great. Additionally, they picked up our rentals from the hotel the next day, which saved us the hassle of needing to drop them off. My wife and I were also able to take advantage of the discount they offered on wedding invitations, which really helped save some money from our budget. One suggestion for the invitation process would to make sure the couples are aware of 'black out dates'. The tuxedo rates at GQ are pretty comparable to other places, but the perks and service really make this place stand out. Thanks to Ed and the whole crew! (Photo by Bryland Photography)

    We went to the Schaumburg Location**
    Seriously - go to this tux shop.
    It was worth the experience. We went to two other tux shops and we did not get the service like here. They had a lot of the items there for try on and it was very easy. They helped with colors and styles. They also worked very closely with our venue (The Cotillion Banquets) so we got a deal ON TOP of the Fab 5 Deal we got at a Wedding Vendor Show.
    All of our guys and our dads got fitted and had a good time getting their tux. They also picked up our guys' suits at our hotel!
    I would choose this place over other places ANYTIME. Come here for their proms and weddings, you will not be disappointed.

    I discovered GQ formalwear at a bridal expo where I fell in love with the burgundy tuxedo they had on display. It was exactly what I was looking for our October wedding. I turned out I was one of the monthly winners, so my husband got a free suit, a discount on his tux rental and all of our groomsmen got a discount as well. My husband and I went into the Schaumburg location to check out the other tux options and get him measured. The staff was very knowledgeable and really helpful. We ended up going with the Burgundy tuxes and they turned out great! Very high quality and stylish. I highly recommend GQ Formalwear to anyone looking to rent tuxes for their wedding.

    I discovered GQ Formalwear at the Windy City Bridal Show, where we won the Fab Five deal (which included free Groom tux rental, free Groom suit after the wedding, discounted tux rentals, discounted wedding invitations through Carlson Craft, and tux pick up the next morning). We worked directly with Donna, who was very helpful from start to finish. She was fantastic with advising which tux would look the best, as well as helping with our wedding invitation order. As a family-run business, they treated us like family. We had multiple groomsmen who were out of town, and GQ helped ensure their measurements and rental were what we wanted. What we especially loved about GQ was that all the groomsmen had to do the following morning was leave their suit at the front desk of the hotel, and GQ picked up the suits; the groomsmen didn't have to worry about returning their suit to the GQ location. It was very convenient! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend GQ Formalwear; they were great!

    GQ provided great tuxes for our wedding! We received the "Fab 5" deal so my husband also purchased a suit from them at a very discounted price. The owner hemmed it up according to his tux measurements and it looks terrific!!

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience with GQ formalwear. We had won the Fab Five deal at a wedding show near O’Hare airport, and couldn’t have been happier to have won such a great deal with such a wonderful company. The Fab Five deal included free groom tux rental, free groom tux, reduced price on additional tuxes for bridal party (groomsmen, usher, dads, grandpas, etc), hotel pick-up the next day, and a GREAT deal on Carlson Crafts for invites, thank yous, and anything else in the catalog/binder. The people there were wonderful to work with. They advised well on getting tux fittings around the busy prom time. Meghan was great to work with when we were first trying on colors/patters/styles etc. My husband was in the Marines and his groomsmen that were out of state were able to send in their measurements with no hassle and everything fit perfectly! When we wanted to change the color of the undershirt to ivory (instead of white), it couldn’t have been easier and they handled it very well. I truly enjoyed working with Donna for the invitations and thank yous. She sent multiple drafts to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. I am not usually picky, but she allowed me to feel free to share any detail and changed it accordingly. Ed, the owner, was unbelievably helpful in picking out Kevin’s free suit to keep. He stayed late and hemmed it for him right away. If you get a chance to work with GQ formalwear for your wedding (especially if they have the Fab Five deal or something close to it), we would definitely recommend them to you! You cannot get the specialized attention you do there at any other formalwear retailer.

    We used the GQ Schaumburg location and Tom the owner was amazing to work with! He helped my husband pick out a tux that he would feel good in and confident in for our special day and also tuxes that would work for all the groomsman. He suggested helpful tips to my husband as well like get an extra dress shirt to change into before the reception, etc. etc. Tom was professional and very friendly to work with. This is above and beyond the best tux rental business we had ever worked with.

    Ed is awesome, very friendly and great at what he does. The pricing is a little more than we would've liked, but everyone was complimenting the suits, as they looked great.

    I worked with Donna at GQ in Elmhurst for my wedding in Chile. She really helped me think about the best way to approach the destination wedding with groomsmen coming in from different cities and countries. Her flexibility in working with the dates and recommendations about the best look for our group were very appreciated. I highly recommend GQ.

    Wedding Tux Rental

    For a previous wedding we stood up in they had used GQ Formalwear for their tux rentals we had a good experience then and this is why we chose to use them for our wedding. The contact all the way around is very fast and responsive. During the initial meeting and trying on of the suits, they offer many different options and go above and beyond to make sure you see all of them in person. They are very accommodating for all of your wedding party's needs and different styles. The only suggestion I have is to make the shop hours more available in the morning for those whose work schedules cannot accommodate the late hours. I had to pickup my husbands, father of the bride and groomsman suits all because they were out of state or were traveling for work until late that evening. 1 out of the 3 suits fit correctly. We had to postpone our travel plans the day before the wedding so the groom and groomsman could drive to the Elmhurst location (an hour away) when they opened at 10am, just so they could get the suits corrected for the wedding the next day. Otherwise note to the Brides and Grooms, be sure all of the guys are able to make it into the shop before the wedding to try on the suits.

    We did not run into any issues with GQ, everyone's tuxes looked great the service was good and pic, up and return were easy. We used the hotel pick up option, which was nice. It was strange to me that they gave my dad and my father in law shoes with rubber bottoms saying that they usually give fathers those shoes because they are less slippery. Both of our fathers are in their 50's, they really don't need slip resistant shoes that are hard to dance in. They also did not ask my opinion on this, they just did it.

    We worked with Donna from GQ and she was very informative. She did a consultation with us to try to decide our groomsmen attire and more importantly what my handsome husband was going to wear. They also had attire for my little ring bearers (5T). My husband was able to try on many different tuxes during the consulation to decide what style of tux he wanted to wear. He's 6'4 and they still had many different things for him to try and choose. He took himself and all 11 of our groomsmen with him to do their fittings. He said all went smoothly and efficiently. The pick ups and drop offs were pretty smooth too. After the wedding, we returned my husband's tux and we were missing the cufflinks and his vest. They didn't care about the cufflinks and they gave us a 7 day grace pd to return the vest or they would charge us $60.00 for it. I thought that it woudl be more than $60.00. But luckily we had just left it at the hotel and we returned it the next day with no extra charge. They were quick to reply with any questions we had. Their prices were comparable to the chain stores with better service. They have 2 locations - one in Elmhurst and one in Schaumburg. We were happy with the service and product.

    Gentlemen's Quarter's did a great job. We wanted a gray tuxes for our wedding and they are hard to find, but GQ was very helpful in getting us what we wanted and ordering the vests as well though it was not something they carried.

    The original tuxedos I picked out were not available for the day of my wedding and they did not let me know until it was too late. However, they offered me a more expensive tuxedo for all the men for the price of the original one I picked out. They were very helpful and the man who runs the Schaumburg store is very helpful and extremely nice. The woman that works there, however, is not so nice and is not very pleasant if all you want to do is get more information on pricing. If you want someone who cares about their job and your happiness, make sure Tommy is there.

    HORRIBLE!!!! GQ was the worst vendor at our wedding! There are so many cons with this place. On our wedding day, they messed up on my groomsmen handkerchiefs. All had blush minus one, that one had brown. Our pictures looked misplaced due to this. Also, they forgot to put a dress shirt and my groomsmen had to buy a shirt last minute. AND they don't provide socks! Seriously?! Who does that?!?
    In addition, GQ's Donna is so rude! She has zero customer service skills. We won the Fab 5 prize at a wedding show and were promised free suit pick-up from our hotel and this was changed last minute by them. They took away our free pick-up and Donna was so rude and unprofessional on the phone when we were asking her questions.
    STAY AWAY FROM GQ! Last thing you need on your wedding day is unnecessary stress, and this is what GQ caused us.
