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.

Book The Georgian Hall - you won't regret it!

We had our DREAM wedding at the Georgian Hall! The space was beautiful and functional for our guests, and the team (Lindsey and Meagan) were fantastic to work with throughout the planning process. Not to mention the catering at the Georgian is INCREDIBLE - our guests cannot stop talking about it even two months after our wedding! The service by the Georgian team on our day was also top-notch. We are so grateful we had our wedding here and would highly recommend the Georgian to others planning weddings/events! [photo by Maggie Dunn Photography]

Timeless venue with great food and service!

We cannot say enough good things about Georgian Hall—it made our wedding day truly magical! The food was unbelievable; so many guests told us it was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding. The catering team absolutely knocked it out of the park. Working with the planning team made everything stress-free. Maddie McCullough, our in-house coordinator, was phenomenal—organized, calm, and always one step ahead. Calley and Lindsey were also a huge help, and you can tell the whole team genuinely loves what they do. The vendor recommendations were all top-notch, and the stunning historic venue created such an elegant atmosphere without needing much extra décor. Booking Georgian Hall was the best decision we made. If you’re considering it—do it!

Chris and Brooke's Wedding

Georgian Hall has to be one of the best wedding venues around. This was our family’s 3rd wedding. While all 3 venues were beautiful, Georgian Hall was definitely our favorite. I was lucky enough to have Shannon as my venue manager. I relied heavily on her experience and expertise. She was so very relaxed and willing to go the extra mile to help us create a beautiful event. Her calm demeanor always gave me a sense of serenity. Her balance of professional and personal was exactly what I needed. I had several guests contact me after the wedding to commend me on the quality of food. (Most people don’t have a high expectation of wedding food, so I was surprised that so many people made it a point to let me know.) Of note, the salmon, brussel sprouts and famous macaroni and cheese were the show stoppers. The servers were so very professional and personal as well. I highly recommend Georgian Hall as your wedding venue.

Choosing the Georgian was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. I’d dreamed of getting married there for years and they made sure everything was perfect. The commutation was great and I didn’t have to worry about a thing during the best day of my life!
