A powder room and well-stocked refrigerator (champagne, anyone?) round out the amenities in this very special suite, which accommodates 20 guests and offers secure storage for belongings. The Celebration Suite is complimentary with The George rental, but is also available on its own for small gatherings such as dress fittings, showers and more.
Drawing inspiration from a London club, the Madcap Lounge is a walk-down within the National Block building and just one floor removed from The George. Thoughtfully designed to offer guests a thoroughly unique and intimate experience, the space is made up of multiple vignettes. Imagine sipping bourbon in the library, indulging in healthy conversation over a game of billiards or sampling craft cocktails at the bar. Like The George, the lounge will feature works by vintage and contemporary Wisconsin artists.
The Madcap Lounge is available as a complement to The George or on its own and can accommodate parties of up to 200. Space within the lounge may be partitioned to create the desired atmosphere. Also perfect for corporate meetings and post-meeting dinner/cocktail parties, rehearsal dinners and other special celebrations.

Charm. Flexibility. History.
After touring numerous locations, we fortunately stumbled upon The George and Madcap Lounge, quickly putting our date on hold almost immediately after entering the charming allure of the building. Not only were the interior aesthetics a perfect embodiment of the "old-world/swanky" vision we had, it offered unique amenities and a constant flexibility from both the staff & layout.
To this day, our guests rave about the adaptability & effortless flow The George provided. Throughout planning, we were pleased with how many of the special requests we had were accommodated such as bringing in outside chair rentals, McDonalds as our late night snack, etc. The George also includes a "room flip" during cocktail hour which was completed efficiently, along with bringing my new husband and I upstairs for a private "room reveal" prior to the guests sitting for dinner.
The overall service and positivity the staff gave us throughout the day was also incredibly appreciated. We had a champagne tower as guests were walking into the ceremony, however a few of our family members ended up coming a bit earlier than asked on their invitation. Even though the tower was not set up yet, the staff immediately greeted our guests with champagne and welcomed them with an unmatched hospitality amidst the ongoing preparations.
All in all, The George's unique charm, staff, and history has become a core memory of our wedding story that we will continue to tell throughout our marriage.
We couldn't be happier!
Such a unique space & great hospitality!
