Hi on behalf of Expert Village, I'm Garen Palmer and this is the Ritz Tuxedos. As you are working out the details of your wedding, of course you are going to have to pay for that rental and that's the part that maybe you need to be little aware of what you're going to be up against. First thing to do is be up front with the person. Ask them how much if this tuxedo rental? Make sure you know if it includes the shirt, includes the vest, coat, pant and go over the price. Couple things you need to be aware of, there's sometimes hidden costs in a tuxedo rental. One of those is a damage waiver. Some places charge anywhere from one dollar to five dollars extra for a damage waiver. What that means is if you accidentally fall down, rip out the knee of the pant, you won't be held responsible for that. But make sure that they tell you that fee because they don't always mention that, and make sure that you understand what it covers, what kind of damages that might cover. Usually it doesn't cover if you get in a fight with someone at the wedding and do some damage, those things aren't usually covered, so maybe ask a little bit about that. The second thing you need to know, is are the shoes included? Usually not. One reason not is because some people use their own shoes and so you don't have to pay for shoes if you don't need them. But make sure the vest and tie are covered in that price. Again, sometimes there's an extra charge for those, or the type of vest, one vest might be more expensive than another vest. Ask questions, that's the main thing is ask questions. Make sure they are up front and tell you, and even write it down, what that cost is going to be.
