The groom and his party, fitted at home.
One request covers every man and every address in the UK. We pin each suit on the wearer, finish it in the workroom and return it pressed at least seven days before the wedding.
Work at list price −10%
- Groom plus three or more in one visit, at one address
- Visit fee waived; minimum order applies to the party, not each man
- Returned pressed at least seven days before the wedding
- Book four or more weeks ahead; hire suits welcome where the hire terms allow
From the request to the morning of the wedding.
Eight to six weeks out
Send one request for the whole party: names, postcodes and the wedding date. We email within one working day with a plan and a visit window for each address.
Six to four weeks out
A fitter pins each man in the suit he will actually wear, with the shoes and shirt he will wear on the day. Hire suits are welcome where the hire terms allow alterations.
Two weeks out
Garments are finished in the workroom (standard turnaround 7–10 working days) and returned pressed, hung and labelled to the wearer.
Seven days out
Everything is back with the party at least a week before the wedding, leaving room for a final try-on. Short on time? Express work is about 72 hours.

Can you alter the groomsmen in different cities?
Yes. We cover the entire UK. One request can list every address; we coordinate the visits and keep the finish consistent so the party matches on the day.
Will you alter hired suits?
Often, yes. Many hire companies allow sleeve and hem changes but not cutting into seams. Check your hire terms and tell us the company; we will only do what the terms allow.
How far ahead should we book?
Four or more weeks before the wedding is the minimum for the party rate, and six to eight weeks is comfortable. If the date is closer, send the request anyway and we will tell you what express work can do.
How does the wedding party rate work?
When the groom plus three or more are fitted in one visit at one address, work is at list price less 10%, the £30 visit fee is waived and the £60 minimum order applies to the party as a whole.
How quickly will you reply?
