Family owners bring dedication, expertise & quality to the forefront of the tuxedo market

In the past, The Ring has visited and called Collins Formal Wear countless times in an effort to do research for our brides and grooms. Every single time we approach Collins, we are greeted the same way each customer is greeted - warmly and with appreciation. Even with tons of weddings on the go, clients filling their rental locations, and lots on their plates, the three owners of Collins Formal Wear - Lynda, Brad and Curt Collins never fail to provide exceptional service to each of their clients, which likely has something to do with the fact that they believe "shopping for a tux is like shopping for a wedding gown. It's not a decision to be taken lightly." It's for this reason, and for their extensive selection of high quality, exclusive formal wear, that The Ring decided every groom (and his bride) should know what we know about Collins Formal Wear.

Creating a memorable ceremony with feeling

An Expert Tip by Mandi Neiser, Ordained Minister for Married by Mandi

The person you love more than anything else in the world just asked for your hand in marriage. Now, the task at hand is to decide when, where and how your wedding day is going to unfold.

Planning a wedding is one of the most important times in a couple's life no matter their age or financial status. It’s a decision that needs some serious consideration whether blending two families, three pets and a home together as one, or simply taking two incredibly special human beings who are dedicated to taking their relationship to entirely new level of commitment. Maybe I’m biased because of the significant role I play on the wedding day; however, I feel that the ceremony is the most important part of the day – no matter what a couple's religious beliefs or family background is, the number of years together, or their age.
