Not as planned and poor response after

Many many issues were raised on the day and after of things that weren’t agreed or done the way we had asked. SEN pram was forced to the back of the room regardless of the fact they were family as told it would ruin photos.
There were over 20 issues raised in total to the hotel either in the day or after and the response back not only took over a month but was also just an excuse against them all to cover their backs. Wish I read more reviews before booking our wedding with this hotel as now most memories are stresses from the day which is upsetting. Would strongly advise to not book here for your big day.

Weddings at the George washington

I just wanted to say what an amazing day it was. Thankyou to you and all of your team for making it so special for us. We had so many compliments on how lovely the staff are. From the reception to the bar team everyone was so lovely and worked so hard to make our day special.
As for value for money I can't believe how much you get included in the price

Fantastic!!

Me and my husband got married on the 16/12/2012 and we really cant thank everyone at the hotel enough for helping make our day perfect, especially Amanda throughout the planning and kamilla for helping us on the day. They made us feel like nothing was too much trouble,and the communication with them throughout the wedding was great. The grounds are also beautiful and look fab on our pictures.
We have had many compliments on the food and drink served at the hotel since the wedding and both the buffet and DJ provided on the evening were also to a high standard. Me and our husband look forward to returning to the hotel on our anniversaries in the future.

Thank You

I must take the opportunity to thank you all for your professionalism in handling the Celebration Party for our wedding.

From the initial contact with Louise all of your staff have been courteous and very helpful especially during the party bending over backwards to assist in any way possible.

The evening went extremely well with the buffet being complimented by all our guests.

I would have no hesitation in holding another event with you and recommending you to family and friends.

Thanks once again.
