History
Georgian Hall officially opened its doors as Hotel Georgian in 1909. It saw success and a healthy financial flow for over half a decade. The spread of the motel industry saw this establishment’s decline in the 1960s, and in 1975 the hotel ceased operation. A redevelopment company bought and renovated the building in 1984. The hotel rooms were refit as condominiums, and continue to serve as such to this day. In 2016, the ballroom was restored to take on its new identity as the Georgian Hall. Now open for public use, this stunning destination serves as an ideal wedding and event venue.
Georgian Hall made all of our wedding dreams come true. From the moment we stepped into the venue on a tour, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. It’s classic and elegant ballroom is breathtaking enough; however, we underestimated the incredible team behind those gorgeous wood doors! Lindsey, Lisa, and Maddie are a dream team. Through the entire process, they were informative, helpful, calmed all of our nerves, and just overall wonderful people! After every meeting we had with them, my fiancé and I would always leave feeling reassured about our day and feeling so lucky to have the opportunity to work with them. You can trust this team to accommodate to their best of abilities all of your wishes and requests. They even worked so well with a couple of our other vendors who had never worked an event at Georgian Hall. We can’t say enough good things about this venue and their incredible staff!

Rehearsal Dinner
We had our rehearsal dinner at the Georgian and Lindsey and Maddie were excellent to work with. We had a lot of changes secondary to COVID and they were incredibly flexible, understanding, and accommodating with each change. The food was phenomenal and the service was outstanding. Our guests felt comfortable and well taken care of all night. It was also the perfect location and a beautiful historic building. We cannot recommend the Georgian enough!

Stunning venue, amazing staff!
My husband and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding! Not only was the space absolutely stunning with its stained glass windows, tiled floor, and stately columns, but our coordinators were also a dream to work with. Lindsey, Lisa, and Maddie were always prompt with answering my emails, and they gave me so much encouragement along the way. The Georgian also streamlined the daunting wedding process for us since they handle all of the food, the linens, the tables/chairs, and set up. The food was delicious too! We can highly recommend the Georgian for your next big event!
