Hi, I am getting married in 2 months and I have an Armani suit that I will be wearing for my wedding. I will need to get this suit tailored. I have been looking for a reputable tailor shop in LA that do a great job on altering suits. Since I will be wearing this suit for my wedding day and for future occasions. I have done some research and so far, below is a list of some of the tailor shops in LA that I was able to find. It would be great if anyone has experience with any of the below tailor shops and what their experience has been and what is like the average cost of getting a suit altered? Thank you!

I use High Society. He designed the perfect pocket for my phone, and coats hang perfectly even with the lopsided weight. Cost is heavily influenced by fabric, $2500 (starter 3 piece) - $4500 (pre-Covid). I sweat, so he makes it lightweight and breathable for me. It is full bespoke, so cool with all the customizations.

I use indochino for my dress shirts. Measured in store, very easy. My son used Suit Supply for his two suits and dress shirts. SS is not full bespoke, and is better than Indochino.

All are good, depending on budget, cost and fabric and purpose. My two sons find High Society suits too conservative, although they say it looks best because of perfect fit. This would be true of any bespoke suit.
My sons like SS because they get ideas from the sales people for are their ages, and it really works, much lower cost.
I used Art Lewin once for a tuxedo, not again.
I went bespoke when my weight became stable, and value perfect fit. Advise is to go with a tailor you can communicate with, which is critical.

Apologies- I answered re new suits, not alterations.
