Tuxedo By Sarno

What can I say about this place other than they are AMAZING! I went to this store after shopping around at a couple of places to rent tuxedos for myself and grooms men, and as soon as I had a conversation with Abbi about what I wanted, I knew that I had come to the right place. Most tuxedo stores will try and pressure you in to getting something that is either too expensive or perhaps renting/​buying something that you really aren’t that impressed with. That’s NOT the case with this store. In working with Abbi, I never felt pressured in to getting something that wasn’t right for me or out of my price range. Additionally, the style of tuxedos and suites that this location has to choose from is insanely diverse and fashionable. I’m more of a «slim fit» kinda guy, and my best man is built like an NFL lineman. At Tuxedo By Sarno, they had us both covered with absolutely no problems at all. If you guys want to wear a tuxedo or suit that has you looking like you just came from a photo shoot for GQ magazine, and if you want to wear something as sharp as a James Bond outfit, you have to come to this store. Let me just say that again for the people that might be a little bit hesitant. YOU HAVE TO COME TO THIS STORE!!! I know that some people are somewhat skeptical about reviews. Believe me, I was one of them. But I was SO impressed by the high level of service and quality of outfits that I received from Abbi and Tuxedo By Sarno, that I felt compelled to write this. Fellas, I’m telling you, there is absolutely NO NEED for you to look at any other store. Forget about a particular warehouse that caters to one gender. Forget about a certain bank with a name attached to it (I had to change the way I worded that for legal purposes, but you know who I’m talking about). Look no further than this store. And please, PLEASE make sure that you see Abbi. He’s a good guy and he’ll take care of you.

Was in my friends wedding and got our grooms tuxes here — I was a little behind in getting it back to the store and the owner was so helpful and generous and understanding. Great shop and great guy!

Savvi Formal wear located in Alexandria, VA was the best experience we have had especially thanks to the store manager Abbi. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with helping us pick the perfect tuxedo for our wedding. If you are looking for any type of formal wear I would highly suggest going and seeing Abbi!

Tried Men’s Warehouse first, then Macy’s and Nordstrom… finally found Savvi via the web. Abbi was great — knowledgeable, helpful, efficient, etc. Great and varied selection too. When I next rent or buy a tuxedo, I’ll go directly to Abbi.

Best formal wear customer service in Northern VA. The ONLY place that was able to do same day service which enabled me to attend the 240^th Marine Corps Birthday Ball. Highly Recommend for anyone looking for a wonderful customer service experience with quality formal wear for your big event. Semper Fidelis!

AMAZING customer service from Abi. He understands what you want on your special day he’ll move heaven and earth to make it happen. I was very happy with his service. All the grooms men on my friends wedding looked amazing. Thanks to Abi all of us walked out of there with what we wanted. Thank you brother. I would recommend Sarno & Son for any tuxedo rental for any formal event. And Abi will make it happen.

We rented seven suits for our wedding in October. While we continued to introduce wrinkles to the situation (out of state wedding, changes to the rental timeline, colors, etc), Abbi was the prototypical professional. His knowledge, expertise, and attention to detail greatly enhanced our experience. His customer service rivals any I’ve ever had across all industries; not only a great salesman, but a great person. I cannot thank him enough as he truly made our wedding better. I strongly recommend his services.

This place is amazing! I needed a tux that day and they hooked me up with a perfect affordable off the rack tuxedo and hemmed the pants in 10 minutes. Thank god for this place!

My husband and I left very satisfied with the service and price for his tuxedo rental. Abbi provided nothing but the best service — he was very knowledgable about the different tuxedo brands and could tell my husband’s size just by looking at him. Haha, I might be easily impressed but that showed experience. We needed the tux within 4 – 5 days and it was available without a problem.
Before coming to this shop we went to Men’s Warehouse and the service was terrible. I am glad we went with a smaller shop in Old Town Alexandria instead. I felt awful because I forgot the cuffs when I returned the tux, but Abbi was very flexible about returning them.
My husband wants to buy a tuxedo soon, we will definitely be returning here to buy one!

Extremely helpful for finding a tuxedo the SAME DAY as the event. Men’s Warehouse was not any help at all, so I came to Savvi after quick google search. The man who runs the tuxedo shop was actively looking for items my size (not easy, 29″ waist, 5′-9″ tall) via phone while I was driving there. He was able to piece together a whole black tie look with pieces available.
Hemming the pants was done in about 20 minutes.
They were very fair with the price, coming it at less than ½ what Men’s Warehouse was going to charge (but Mens Warehouse will not do same day).
If I ever need to rent a tux again, this will be the place I go!

Thanks for the Tux. I was a big hit at the wedding. And since the wedding was in Ohio I didn’t have to have the Tux back right away. I have recommended you often since December 2014.

Great service by Abbi. I waited to the last minute to rent a tux and Abbi said «no problem». The tux was ready on time and the formal event was wonderful. Thank you.

Couldn’t be happier! Incredible service and attention to detail to make sure my brother looked perfect for his big day. Really went above and beyond! I highly recommend them.

I’d like to begin by giving Unilocal a one star rating for not allowing a zero star rating for this HORRIBLE business/​incompetence factory. I had the displeasure of a prior experience here for my brothers wedding last summer. The guy who runs the tuxedo rentals literally lost the initial tux reservation for the entire wedding party. Since my brother was proactive and stayed on top of this guy non stop like flies on ship, we worked through problem after problem with each and every member of the wedding party’s rental. I won’t get into that occasion since this review is regarding my latest disastrous experience.
My good friend shockingly decided to rent his wedding party’s tuxedo’s AGAIN after my brother strongly recommended not to. I initially called the store several months in advance to request the same measurements as the ones I used last summer for my bros wedding. The guy informed me «they had no records of my prior order» which I found odd given the upscale old town Alexandria location and the fact that computers’ data storing capabilities are pretty sophisticated in the year 2015! So I shrugged it off and called in some measurements that a real business, Men’s Warehouse, had on file. The tuxedo guy was polite and said the measurements were in and good to go.
Fast forward to the tuxedo pick up this week. I arrived on Wednesday before the Saturday wedding and the guy is having difficulty locating my tux. Come to find out my name is spelled wrong. I feel a bad omen lingering but shrug it off again and proceed to try in on. The jacket size is larger then what I called in from the men’s warehouse measurements. The tux guy immediately begins asking who took my measurements. I explain I called them in but he wrote them down wrong. He said come back Friday and pick up the proper sized jacket since he to order a new one.
Friday comes around, and I asked my friend to pick up the jacket while getting his tux. He is informed that there are no more remaining jackets in the wedding party. I called the tuxedo guy and he says «sorry I have the jacket here. I just didn’t know where it was earlier when your friend came.». «Are you seriously a real business!?» Am I being punked on a a reality show? No. This is standard procedure for Savvi. I might consider recommending this store to my worst enemy but that’s about it.
The guy says he will not deliver it nor will he send via courier (nor discount/​refund for their errors) so I should make arrangements the morning (they open at 10 am mind you) of the 2 pm wedding to come get it from leesburg, which is about 60 miles each way from hannelores. I managed to obtain the jacket after much coordination and jumping thru countless hoops about twenty minutes before the wedding.
If you want you terrible service, a botched order, and much stress before a major moment in your or a close person“s life, then I highly recommend Hannelores. If not, don’t waste your time and find a reputable suit rental with competent employees.

I recently rented a tuxedo and shoes from Savvi for a formal wedding. Abbi was very helpful in presenting options and pricing when I first came in and had my tuxedo ready within a few days. When I had to change out the shirt and bow tie at the very last minute, he was very flexible/​accommodating and even stayed after hours to meet me at the store.
Thank you for your terrific service, Abbi!

My son decided 5 am the day before prom that he wanted to go. I was so worried that we would be able to find him something that fits. He is TALL & SKINNY! With needing 29×36 pants, finding anything that fits is a huge challenge. Abbi was able to not only help us find a tux that fit him like a glove, but also find him a vest & bow tie that matched his friend’s dress perfectly! Thank you all SO much. We WILL be back again.

These guys were great. While the typical chains wanted to charge me a rush-​fee because I wanted the tux less than seven days in advance, these folks had no problem getting me a tux at a good price within two days. The salesman, Abbi, gave me great service.

We had a great wedding suit rental experience here with Abbi. We visited three other larger name tux rental operations and were not happy with their selection or customer service. Upon visiting Sarno & Son, we found the perfect suit at the right price with the very helpful manager, Abbi.
We ordered six suit combinations, and they arrived on time and in perfect order for our wedding. No items were missing, they were all properly cleaned and they were of high quality. Abbi helped us stay within our budget, and surprisingly the prices were cheaper than if we had gone with one of the bigger rental companies.
Overall, we were very pleased with this experience, we only wished we had saved some time and started our search here!

Abdi is the man! He was great to work with and everyone in my wedding party enjoyed his expertise. I would go back there anytime I needed a tuxedo. A true joy to work with and completely no stress during a stressful time.

Trust Abbi, I do…
Abbi is the Store Manager at Savvi Formalwear by Sarno & Sons and he runs a great operation. Over the 14 years that I have lived in Washington, DC I have needed a few tuxedos and always had a challenge, up until I went into Savvi Formalwear a little more than a year ago. Abbi got me situated with a great tuxedo, at a great price and everything worked out perfectly for my friend’s wedding in NYC.
Now cut to November 2014. My wife and I were invited last minute to a black tie event this past weekend, and I needed help. There was no question that I would head back to see Abbi. My major concern was I went in on the Thursday before the event hoping they could do a quick turnaround and get me what I needed. I let Abbi know the deal up front and he said no problem, don’t worry, that it would be taken care of and it was! In fact he remembered me and even knew that it had been around a year since I had last been in. He still had my measurements on file, thankfully they hadn’t changed too much. He had the tuxedo ready a day later (and I am not the easiest person to find the right size for) and when the pants were a little too big, he was able to find a replacement pair that needed some alterations that were done quickly and proficiently on sight and I was off to my event. I was very happy with my rental from start to finish and I can’t say that about all my tuxedo experiences at other places, but Savvi Formalwear is just that much better.
To sum up, if you want a great tux, at a great price, from a professional, friendly and accommodating staff, then go to Savvi Formalwear and see Abbi. He will take care of you too and make sure you look good for your special occasion!

My husband and I got married this past June and decided to come here to rent tuxedos for our groomsmen since I was buying my dress from Hannelore’s. The place was very clean and nice and I loved what they had to offer which was having my husband just pay $ 60 for his tuxedo rental and having all his groomsmen rentals half off. The store manager and his employee were beyond nice and helpful and gave us some space to really think and pick out what we would like to wear. My husband and his groomsmen came a day before the wedding to get their tuxedos which really frustrated me since some groomsmen got fitted not by Savvi but out of town instead. And of course my frustration came true when three of the out of town groomsmen had wrong measurements. Luckily with the store manager’s help he was able to order all of the right measurements and have them come in early the next morning hours before our wedding! And let me tell you they all looked very sharp! I’m so glad I chose them to rent our tuxedos from because I’m pretty sure no one else could have helped us out like they did! I STRONGLY recommend this company for tuxedo rentals!

I am extremely happy with Savvi Formalwear by Sarno & Son in Alexandria, VA. It was an awesome experience from star to finish, all my groomsmen love their tuxedo. Abby very courteous and helpful in every step of the way.

This shop is located in Hannelore’s Bridal Boutique right down by the water in Old Town.
My boyfriend and I had stopped in here to look at some tuxedos to rent for an upcoming event. We didn’t have an appointment but the Manager, Abbi, kindly greeted us and was more than willing to show us what he had to offer. Their selection of tuxedos/​suits are gorgeous and really nice quality. We weren’t planning on purchasing at that point in time, but Abbi sold us when he told us what we were looking to spend on what we had selected.
We had went and picked the tuxedo up whenever it came in and my boyfriend tried it on. It fit perfectly. Mind you, he is 6’3 and 280lbs. He always has trouble fitting into suits or tuxedos so I was amazed at how well it fit. We left happy customers.
Abbi is willing to go above and beyond to make his customers happy. He does typically work at this location by himself and at times is very, very busy. I would suggest making an appointment; 1) to make it easier on yourself, and 2) to make it easier on him. There’s only so much one person can do and I can sympathize with him whenever there are 30 people there and only 1 person to work with all of them.
I will definitely be going back to this place whenever we need another rental or perhaps to buy as well.

This place is in Hannelore’s Bridal shop which tends to get bad reviews, but I totally enjoyed my experience with Abbi in the Men’s Formal wear. My groomsman and myself rented the Navy Windsor Suits by Perry Ellis. The suits were good. We had a few minor alterations and changes that needed to happen, but Abbi took care of them in a day. He worked well with my out of town groomsman and dad. He took their measurements and payments over the phone. We went in several days before hand and tried everything on. Avvi dealt well with our changes and even got some of my guys two shirts so they could decide on the best ones on the wedding day.
Definitely go in several days before and try things on so Avvi can get the changes and sizes right. As the groomsman, i tried on the suit orignally, one month out and three days before. Three days before I changed to a smaller pant size and it was no problem.
For Saturday weddings make sure you have time to drop off the suits if traveling. I had one person gather all the suits up Sunday after the wedding and return them for me. The hours on Sunday are limited though and they are closed on Monday so they were returned Tuesday which was fine Abbi assured us. Just confirm with him because you will get automated emails saying they are late on Monday because most stores are open on Monday.
