You made our wedding day the most special, unforgettable day or our lives! The hotel, the amazing interiors (stunning bathrooms!), the courtyard and all of the staff make The George such a unique and special place to get hitched. We chose wisely. You didn’t let us down and went above and beyond expectations.

Alix and Anthony
We can not thank the staff at the George enough for their hard work, the day was seamless and all we needed to worry about was having a great time, which we and our guests certainly had. Natalie the was beyond helpful, efficient and flexible with any requirements we had, nothing was too much trouble! It surpassed every single expectation.
Amy & Paul
Thank you both for the wonderful organisation of our wedding day. Sarah you were so relaxed throughout the process and instantly calmed me down when speaking with you! We had the best day and had so many lovely compliments about the delicious food, wine and beautiful look of the ballroom…
Laura & Reg
It really was so special. I'm sure you hear this all the time from your weddings, but we and our guests said it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. I don't think it would've turned out that way at another venue.
Debbie & Martyn
We and our guests had a fantastic time - many said, ‘best wedding ever’. Of course, we agree. Please thank everyone who looked after us all weekend, we could not have asked for more. Thank you also for the little details... they didn’t go unnoticed.
Jenny & Mikka
Thank you for the most fantastic day... Honestly, from start to finish it was more than we could have hoped for. The venue, service and food was incredible - we had so many compliments on all it all and we were just so blown away by how everyone went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day.

When we viewed the George back in January you painted such a great picture and it lived up to all expectations. I'm sure we will be back lots of times to celebrate our anniversaries!
