The cost will likely be a significant factor if you’re considering hiring a suit for your wedding. We’ve put together this guide explaining what wedding suit hire is and the average cost of hiring one in the UK.
What is wedding suit hire?
This is a great option for grooms, groomsmen, and guests who want to look immaculate in a high-quality wedding suit without purchasing one themselves. Tailored suit hire often includes several fitting sessions with a professional and experienced tailor to ensure the suit fits perfectly. However, more budget suit hire options might not include fittings, so you might not get a well-fitting suit.
How much is it to hire a wedding suit in the UK?
The cost of hiring a suit for a wedding can vary depending on location, quality and the rental period. It can range from as low as £50 for basic suit hire to upwards of £250 for tailored luxury suits.
Basic wedding suit hire
A basic suit rental is the most budget option. This usually includes a jacket, trousers, and shirt, costing around £50 to £80. There might be additional costs for accessories or certain suit styles.
Mid-range wedding suit hire
You should expect to pay around £80 to £150 for a higher-quality three-piece suit hire. This might also include other accessories within the hire price, such as a necktie or bowtie.
Luxury wedding suit hire
If you want a high-end or designer wedding suit, you might pay around £120 to £250. A luxury, tailored suit that involves several fittings by an experienced master tailor will be at the higher end of, or exceeding, this scale. Within this price, you’re not only paying for the suit hire, but you’re also contributing to the time spent handcrafting a stunning, perfectly-fitting suit. This level of suit hire will ensure that you look elegant and sophisticated on the big day.
