My husband and I got our suits from Cordt Withum for our wedding and we loved them! Cordt was extremely knowledgeable and really took the time to help us pick out the perfect set. Our wedding photos came out great and the suits were super comfo...

I purchased a custom suit for my wedding from Balani and I couldn't have been more pleased. The process was simple, the fit was perfect, the quality of the garment is excellent, and the service was awesome. I highly recommend Cordt, who helpe...
d me through each step in the process, provided great recommendations on garment care, cleaning services, etc. He is awesome!
Was it expensive? Yes. But you get what you pay for and it was worth every penny.
Any questions?
We had an incredible experience at Balani with Cordt choosing a suit for my groom for our upcoming wedding! He absolutely knows how to walk and talk you through what will work best for you and the occasion!
Absolutely top notch and I would rec...
ommend Balani and Cordt for your wedding attire or any suit you may ever need.
Cordt was absolutely amazing! He walked us through the whole suit selection process and had great advice for color coordination, fabric, and also emphasized the importance of choosing a suit that would work for everyday wear after the wedding....
No need to even look anywhere else for your wedding suit!
We were looking for someone to make my husband a custom velvet green tuxedo for our wedding. We met with a few other clothiers before Balani and they just didn't have the selection or colors we were looking for. We met with Elizabeth from Bal...
ani's we immediately knew they were the right choice. They had an impressive range of textiles and options. She helped us with every single detail and her measurements were pretty spot on as the only thing we decided to adjust was the pant length because my husband decided to have them a little longer than what most recommend on a tuxedo, everything else fit like a glove though! Would 100% recommend Elizabeth at Balani and we will absolutely go back to her in the future!
I worked with Katie Hire to design a custom tuxedo for my wedding. She made the entire process incredibly easy and was great at communicating updates throughout the process. The tuxedo turned out amazing and impressed everyone with its quality ...
and fit. I will definitely go back for any of my future custom clothing needs!
Always a pleasure working with Cordt on my custom suits, but the tux he designed for my wedding was absolutely incredible! Could not be happier! Highly recommend you go see him at Balani for your wedding attire, you will not be disappointed.
From a bride to be perspective, Cordt Withum at Balani was the absolute best. Best experience from the moment we walked in as we were then ushered into a private room for all the fancy suit making fun (yes I went with my fiancé :)), which start...
ed off with our choice of beverage. Classy. Both picked a nice whiskey on the rocks. Cordt was super professional and knowledgeable (i truly had no idea about all of these choices/possibilities) about even the most minute detail. My now husband got the very best suit he ever could have dreamed up (tropical interior) and, I know, absolutely felt like the best dressed groom ever on the big day. Niko (my husband) LOVES this suit and will wear it whenever he can for many, many years to come. And when he finally wears it out somehow (or just wants one for winter too) we will for sure be going directly back to Cordt at Balani. Thank you so much Cordt!
Balani is fantastic. My husband and I purchased his wedding suit from Balani and had the pleasure of working with Cordt. His knowledge of trends, fabrics, and styling options was a huge asset throughout the suit-making process. After talkin...
g through our design palette and venue, he helped us pick the perfect fabric and color for the occasion. We walked away with a one-of-a-kind suit that will last for my husband years to come.
This wasn't the first suit that was purchased there, and it will definitely not be the last.
After being disappointed with just about every rental tuxedo I've ever purchased, I decided to get my own custom tux for my wedding. I couldn't speak any higher of Corrie and the rest of the team at Balani. My tux came out better than expected,...
both in appearance and in fit. They will work with you to find the best possible fit, and go the extra mile in making sure every little detail is accounted for.
My husband went to Balani for his wedding suit and I am so glad he did! Cordt was extremely professional and designed the most perfect suit for my husband.
My husband got his wedding suit from Balani and it was absolutely perfect! The service was exceptional all the way through the process and they made it super easy to get exactly what we wanted. Great price and quality and the customized details...
like our names embroidered under the collar and inside the shirt are awesome. Would highly recommend to anyone!
I had an awesome experience getting tailored with Corrie Domingo. Very informative and has an eye for coordinating fabrics. I would definitely buy from Balani again!
My wedding suit from Balani exceeded all expectations. The suit fit like a glove and was exquisitely constructed. All the special touches Balani made for me (things like stitching my wedding date under the collar) really made this piece somethi...
ng I will cherish forever!
Kris (style advisor) was amazing! Helping select options and giving professional opinions while still listening to what I wanted. I’ve bought a second suit and pair of chinos due to my great experience. Also got my father to get himself a suit ...
and brother plans to get one in the future. Expect to drop a lot of money but if you have it and you want to look good can’t suggest anyone or any company better.
David Tinter was very easy, and fun to work with. He took my ideas and ran with them. I love the suit he designed for my wedding. The price and high quality really make it worthwhile. This will be with me the rest of my life and forces me too s...
tay thin-ish. 😂.
I have been a Balani customer for several years now, so when it came to my wedding day I knew I wanted a custom tuxedo. David and the Balani Cleveland team are great to work with and always make you look and feel your best. My wife and I chos...
e a royal blue tuxedo that was the perfect look for our big day. I could not be happier with my decision to purchase my wedding tuxedo through Balani.
Best I've ever felt in any garment. Yaneev and the team at BALANI are superior craftsmen. Absolutely nailed the fit after a single fitting, no adjustment required, and came out better than I could have imagined. I bought this suit for our elope...
ment/wedding and there's nothing better than feeling your best on that day. I can't say enough good things about Yaneev. You're in excellent hands with him. Just be warned that once you go custom, you'll never go back!
100% Recommend Balani and David Tinter. The experience is always top top notch and professional and the outcomes of all my clothing I have ever gotten there is stellar. What I like most is I always feel comfortable and collaborative when workin...
g to make my vision come to life. David helps you make the most educated decision you can with your gear. My wedding tux was a KNOCK OUT, I had to at least TRY and keep up with my bride and the Balani tux fit perfect and had the glam, but class I was going for in my look on the big day.
I went to Balani looking for a suit perfectly cut for me. As a 5'6" athletic build, that's a tall order. They delivered. I was extremely happy with the cut. I also do not wear a suit every day, so my "wedding suit" was also going to become my "...
wedding guest suit" the day after our wedding. As a result I wanted top quality and again, Balani delivered. The fabrics and construction are worthy of James Bond and I am one of the 2 or 3 best dressed guys at every function I wear the suit to. I take particular pleasure in looking better than grooms and groomsmen who rented. I want style, but I certainly don't have an eye for it. This is where Balani really earned my appreciation: Corrie was able to take my vague ideas and preferences and generall uncertainty and apathy and create a suit perfect for me. The blue fabric is conservative but the color pops. Inside she found a purple foulard lining. On the back of my collar is the wedding date. Real cuff buttons, ticket pocket, etc. My wife wouldn't let me wear a vest to the wedding but Corrie and I found a complimentary plaid to make one for other occasions. It's awesome. I have a date with Corrie to make a fall/winter sport coat for less formal occasions and though I keep pushing it back, I look forward to making it happen.
David Tinter from Balani is my first stop for wedding attire - from my own ceremony, to my friends and families celebrations. Just like hitting the "easy" button in helping me look my best.
This is the place to go if you are looking for a custom suit. Great team that are knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process.

Thanks so much for your review! We are so glad to hear that you love your custom suit and your experience with BALANI.
I found Balani when looking for a tuxedo. Stephen made the process seamless, the communication was great, the facility and the customization options were wonderful, and the tuxedo looked fantastic. I loved it enough to go back and get another...
sport coat for work. I'll certainly be back for more clothes going forward

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your business and are so glad to hear that you love your BALANI custom clothing. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
I have been going to Balani since i moved to Houston 5 years ago, so when it was time to look at managing my wedding attire i knew exactly where i wanted to go. Corrie helped me every step of the way matching colors and tones of my suit to fit...
the event. Additionally she worked incredibly well with my over stressed fiancé to make sure colors went well with both the groomsmen rented suits as well as the brides maids dresses. My suit arrived on time and even better than i could have imagined. I would recommend them to any couple looking to add some special flair to their attire. And, unlike my fiancés dress, I know have an amazing suit for multiple occasions to come!

Hannah,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are so glad that we were able to help you and your fiancé create his wedding suit. We can't wait to see you both again soon!
Would be a lie if i said i looked anything less than the best I've ever looked. I am a picky, picky, picky human who knows what he likes. I like my suits a certain way and there is no other way I would have it. David Tinter, at Balani was my cl...
othier who I must say was very patient and kind. He went above and beyond to make sure the fittings were nothing less than perfect. When I was displeased with some aspect he worked to change them so there was nothing I could complain about.
From helping me select the fabric so that I would not be a hot sweaty mess, to the extent of stretch I wanted and the fit every detail was personalized. He helped me prevent making some poor style choices not by being over bearing but working with me to understand my vision for the outfit.
When I look back at the wedding I am so happy I went with Balani and not some Off The Rack outfit altered to fit. No amount of adjustments make something fit to you like something that is tailored to your custom dimensions. Honestly, even the shirt for the wedding from the color of the thread in the buttons to picking the type of buttons was all just perfect.
If you're in cleveland you really should not be going elsewhere, and I say this having used a lot of the tailors who will try sell you something that was made for a 'standardized' fit for the majority of the folks.
We all know the wedding is about the bride, but when you look at those pictures, you don't want to be wishing you had a better fitting suit because now you're dragging the overall picture down.
For grooms who want to look their best on their wedding day, go to Balani and have Ebony Taylor get you into the suit of your dreams. I had a tremendous experience with Balani. The suit and shirt they custom made for me are spectacular and I co...
uldn't be happier. This will not be my last custom suit from Balani. I love it.

Similar to having a specific criteria for a mate, I had one for my wedding tuxedo. The tuxedo had to be unique, transcendent and classic. After completing my due diligence, I knew Balani would be the perfect clothier. What made my experience m...

Balani is exceptional! My husband has been getting custom suits from them for 10 years so naturally we went straight to Steve Gorman to help us design the wedding tuxedo. Nothing but the best! Thanks for everything! Cheers...

Thanks so much for your review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with BALANI. We hope to see you and your husband again soon!
My husband has gone to Balani for custom suits before, so why not turn to them again for his wedding day tux? Cordt was the best at piecing together his look for our big day. He was careful to match the midnight blue color to the rental tuxes t...
he groomsmen were getting, and it ended up blending together seamlessly. It’s also special to have our wedding date etched into the jacket. Thanks to Balani and Cordt!
My now husband is not your average sized human (he's 6'5"). When we started figuring out what to do for his wedding tux, everything was going to take a lot of alterations and then we found Balani. I also figured if I was going to spend a ton of...
money on a dress I was only going to wear once, it wouldn't be a huge deal for us to spend some money on something my hubby can wear again. We worked with Steve and he instantly put us at ease. They took so many measurements and after about 3 months the tux was ready to try on. Steve was meticulous in his tailoring and my man has a tux he can wear for life that was made just for him :)
