Hello,
I am the owner of The TUXXMAN and this is my ONLY response to the negative reviews from Christy & Brian Fahey. The motive of their "Yelp" is not to help you, but to hurt me & my business. I hope that you can discern the true dynamic going on and kindly consider the situation as you make your decision for wedding attire providers. Please look closely at how The TUXXMAN responded quickly to resolve any problems pointed out and note this is our only negative review.
The Bride canceled two appointments for "Groom's Fashion Preview" & fittings. Then asked for her entire wedding party to be seen on the busiest Saturday of the Prom Season. I discouraged this but she insisted that her father would be in town and this had to be the day. I let her know that it would be a very busy day and that their fittings would come after and in between the Prom customers picking up for their evening Proms. The guys arrived with a cooler of "beverages" They enjoyed heckling and mocking the groom as he tried on different tuxedos, vests & ties. The Groom was uncomfortable with this in the busy store. I tried to rescue him by expediting his "fitting" first. It did take over an hour to take the rest of the 9 men's measurements. At one point, I had to ask the guys to calm down and refrain from the language being used in front of the Prom students and parents. The guys complained about how long it was taking and tried demanding 100% of my staff's attention. I apologized and told them that I had explained the busy situation to the Bride beforehand. The Groom's father was not happy with the vest choice the groom had made for him and was very demanding. I encouraged him to come back with his wife and we would be happy to match his vest with her dress color. The Groom appeared to be embarrassed. I felt that all of this was hot a pleasant experience for him.
The Bride called the next day and was very angry. She said the groom was not happy with the experience or the pants for his tuxedo. She/they wanted him to be in "Slim" fit, but he did not fit into "Slim fit." I explained what had went on during the fitting and that I would be happy to work with the Groom again and try and put him at ease. I told her that their satisfaction was very important to us and scheduled another fitting with the Groom alone.
The Groom came back in without his "party" and tried on more pants and I explained that we could taper the legs of the regular fit tuxedo trouser for him so they would have a slimmer appearance.
On wedding pickup day, I was out of town for a family emergency but the store was well staffed with Manager, Customer Service Representatives and Seamstress/Tailor. Two of the Groomsmen's vests were switched with one another. It was discovered when they were trying on their tuxes for their final fitting. (A final fitting is where the gentlemen come in to pick up their rentals two days before the wedding and try everything on that they have been previously measured for. This allows us an opportunity to make any adjustments necessary to make sure that everything is perfect before the wedding.) Somehow, the brother of the groom left the store with the larger vest of one of the other groomsmen. We called him and he would not come back or agree to switch at the rehearsal the next day. We had "his" vest that would fit him perfectly but somehow they were put into the wrong bags. He said that he was satisfied with "his" vest and accused us of measuring incorrectly and being inefficient. In an effort to appease a very difficult Bride, Groom & family, and more importantly to meet the need of a very nice groomsman caught in the middle, I paid $98 to have another vest shipped UPS Next Day Air-Saturday Delivery directly to the Groomsman's hotel all while sitting in a hospital room in Tampa.
When the tuxedos were returned the brother of the Groom verbally assaulted me with derogatory comments about my service, ability, inefficiency etc. As I opened his bag, I pointed out to him that he had the other groomsman's vest all along and that we apologize for the mixup. I reminded him that everyone looked fabulous so that his accusations were incorrect. Also, that we worked very quickly to resolve the issue that could have been easily averted if he had been more cooperative.
Evidenced by the photos below, the groom, groomsmen, and father's dressed by The TUXXMAN looked fantastic at the wedding. There were not ANY fitting errors or mistakes, simply a mixup which could have been easily solved. I am not sure, why the Fahey family has decided to defame me all over the internet, but, hopefully this explanation demonstrates to a rational reader the dynamic going on and the effort The TUXXMAN went to resolve any issues. While this is an unusual situation, please be assured that we will go above and beyond to make sure the Groom's & Groomsmen's attire is perfect for your wedding day. Kind regards. read more
