Having to postpone wedding celebrations from last year, black tie easily accommodated the change of date not only once but twice. They were also very helpful finding a jacket, trouser, bow tie and shoes that all went together for a intimate wedding last year. The staff are very welcoming and helpful and go that extra mile to make sure everything is spot on. Thank you again

These guys were super to deal with. Short notice black tie suit for an event, they were easy to deal, suit was good quality and process was efficient. Price was reasonable too.

Micheal and the team at Black Tie were brilliant. Every step of the way from our first appointment to last, the service was unbeatable. I would highly recommend them to anyone, the suits we had for our wedding were incredible, everyone loved them. Thanks for all your help guys.

Great experience using Black Tie Menswear for my husband and his groomsmen's wedding suits. After having a very disappointing experience with a major high street brand (who wouldn't let him try the suits on!), we were met with fantastic service at Black Tie Menswear. Great customer service, particularly in a very busy year with lots of postponed weddings taking place!
