Black Tie Formalwear (Schaumburg)

We found a good selection and friendly employees at Black Tie Formalwear. However, we had a size mix-up for one of our orders. It was corrected, but we had to make an extra trip to the store to pick up the corrected item.

My husband and I attend a black tie charity event each year. So when we were considering tuxedos for our wedding, the sales staff at Black Tie Formalwear recommended that he just purchase a tuxedo for $300, instead of renting one each year, plus one for the wedding. The staff was very helpful, and made the process very easy for us concerning our out of town groomsmen. They offered helpful ideas when it came to matching wardrobe with my gown. They also gave us a nice price break on the children’s tuxedos- they were only $50, other places were charging the full amount for children’s tuxedos. Because my husband purchased his tux, all the groomsmen received 20% off their rentals, so the rentals ended up costing about $100 per person. We also ordered our invitations through Black Tie, but unfortunately and fortunately the invitations came in the wrong font. It wasn't necessarily Black Tie's fault, but more so the printer's error. It ended up working out fine, however, because the wrong font was much smaller than the one we had originally ordered. This left an excess amount of space on the invitation. My sister embossed each invitation where there was space, and it ended up looking more beautiful than what we had ordered.

Our tuxedos were rented from Black Tie Formalwear in the House of Brides wedding mall. We were able to match the tuxedo accessories with the color of my bridesmaid gowns easily, since we selected our bridesmaid's gowns from the House of Brides. We also selected our Honeymoon package through Black Tie Formalwear. We received roundtrip airfare free, which was a great deal! The tuxedos themselves were perfect the day of the wedding and the pick up and drop off times were reasonable. The store is small, so there were some periods of waiting when we stopped in, but the customer service was worth the wait. Additionally, we ordered our invitations through Black Tie. Because we did so many of our services through them, I believe we received the invitations for about 50% off.
