We used Foresto Tuxedo for our 10/5 wedding. TOP NOTCH! They are professional, efficient, friendly and the quality is unbeatable. All of the men in our bridal party looked so sharp. Thank you to the staff at Foresto Tuxedo for making our men look their best on our big day!!!
First time being fitted for a rental tuxedo for a friend’s wedding, and everything exceeded expectations! The shop was great, the guys had a sense of humor, and most importantly everything looked and fit perfectly. Would definitely recommend to anyone getting married on Long Island!
My husband and his groomsmen loved Forestos! Their tuxedos fit and looked great at our wedding. I highly recommend them for any event you have!
Foresto is Five Star Plus! Going to Foresto was the best move we could have made, Dominick is a true expert in his field. He assured me we were in good hands but we were in the best hands. All 12 of my groomsmen raved about the fit and look of their tuxes! Even our guests asked where we got our tuxes. This is why this place is rated 5 Star. Thank you and we cannot wait to come back for future events!
I have known Dominick for over 25 years. He provided the tuxedos for my wedding, but also for my sister’s wedding. Working with him made the wedding planning so much smoother. His eye for style and the selections he offers are second to none! Even though one of our groomsmen lived out of the state, he took care of everything. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who could match the service you get working with Dominick. I HIGHLY recommend Foresto Tuxedo.
Thank You for making all the groomsmen look as good as they did! You guys are the best!
I had family coming in from Belgium and Pennsylvania that required tuxedos and Dominick told me not to worry that we couldn’t fit them until a few days before our wedding. Everything went flawlessly. When the men tried on the tuxedos for pick up they were perfect.
Our wedding had a number of wedding party guests from outside the US. We attempted to locate a facility that would deal with late arrival measurements and alterations. Foresto went above and beyond in helping our family get outfitted with those that were here in New York and then when our International guests arrived. You simply cannot beat their price/quality ratio. I recommend Forestos highly.
I had lots of guys and lots of little boys and they all needed to look sharp. The gentlemen at Foresto helped get everything in order. They made style suggestions and were very patient with us as we went back and forth between several options. They even went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Forestos they offer the type of service you don’t see very often today – totally full service and gracious. Can’t say enough good things!
I have been in 10 weddings. Foresto Tuxedo, hands down is the best vendor I have dealt with. My wedding party rented 14 tuxes. Foresto Tuxedo had all the tuxes ready on time, as promised with no issues. Some groomsmen needed alterations due to weight change and they were all addressed the day before the wedding. Great vendor, great people. Thanks Foresto.
We truly cannot thank you enough for taking the time to fit both of our 93-year-old grandfathers in their attire for our special day. You made them feel comfortable, happy and catered to their needs. Our experience at Foresto was exceptional. We could not have asked for anyone better and will continue to recommend you guys for tuxedo rentals to others.
I definitely recommend Foresto. They are amazing! We worked with Dominick, and he was great. He remembered everything we spoke about, every time we walked in the store. We had all different size guys, and a lot of out-of-town groomsmen and ring bearers. Dominick reassured us that everything would work out and he would do any final alterations upon pickup. My husband and his groomsmen loved their tuxes and they all looked great! Everyone working there was very helpful and this is definitely top-notch service. You truly get what you pay for…. high quality tuxes and exceptional service!
