The George Washington Hotel is a wedding treasure!

This venue is an incredibly elegant historic hotel nestled in quaint downtown Winchester, Virginia with easy access to Washington DC just over an hour away.
My son and his bride had to delay their 'big city' reception due to Covid. They decided to proceed with a small wedding ceremony on their original date. In the meantime we hustled to book a spot for an intimate dinner reception with all of the bells and whistles for 15 people. The George Washington Hotel swooped in and saved the day. They provided a very affordable room with an adjoining patio. Their staff were incredibly friendly and timely with all of their suggestions and responses. The menu offerings were plentiful and the appetizers and food were superb...and we are discerning eaters. At the last minute, due to continued Covid restrictions per our Governor, we were no longer permitted to use the small room. Once again, the GW quickly accommodate us in their ballroom, since it happened to be available on that date. This room could easily hold a large wedding. The bride and groom stayed the night in a King Suite and enjoyed drinks in the beautiful bar just outside of the ballroom after everyone else left for the night. They also have a nice restaurant on the premises. Who needs a 'big city' wedding when you can book at The George Washington Hotel?

The Perfect Day!!!!

Jane, Emily, Amy and the rest of the team at The George Washington Hotel are the DREAM TEAM!! From start to finish, our experience at the hotel was wonderful. When looking for a venue, we were looking for a location that offered a place for all of our wedding activities in one location, so that our out of town guests did not have far to travel and this hotel did not disappoint! It truly is a one stop shop for the perfect wedding weekend. We were able to host our room block, welcome reception, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all at this beautiful historic venue! The hotel is located in the beautiful downtown area in Winchester, which offered our guests a multitude of dining, restaurant and shopping options all within walking distance of the hotel! Working with Jane on the details for the wedding was so easy! She is always prepared and knowledgeable to answer any questions that you may have as well as willing to offer helpful suggestions along the way! A true gem in the wedding planning industry! She takes care of making sure that you are able to fully enjoy the time leading up to your wedding day and the big day itself by coordinating the details with the hotel and vendors, allowing you to spend time with your family and friends. The George Washington Hotel has truly put the right people in place in order to ensure that your wedding is the day of your dreams and that it comes off flawlessly! I cannot say enough about the care and time that the staff took with each one of my guests to help them navigate the area, provide a seamless check in or serve a fantastic meal. Jennifer our Banquet Manager checked in with us several times during the evening of the wedding to make sure that we were well taken care of and had everything that we needed! They took the time to clean up and set aside all of the elements that we provided for the wedding for easy pick up the following morning, so that it did not take away from our celebrating after the wedding was over. There were no worries or stress when it came to the set up of the ballroom, as the beauty and charm of the hotel and venue truly do shine through, which make it easy to decorate and add your own personal touches to make the space your own! Do yourself a favor and take a look at The George Washington Hotel for your wedding venue, you will not regret it!!!

Perfect Hotel

We have stayed at this hotel several times, and our last visit was to host our daughter’s wedding. Every experience exceeded our expectations. The wedding was perfect! The staff went above and beyond to make the wedding so special. The staff was courteous and attentive to every detail. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough, whether you need a weekend getaway or you want to host a special event.

I always love when a couple tells me they are holding their wedding at The George Washington Hotel because I know they are going to be absolutely amazed with how perfectly and professionally their wedding plans come to fruition. As a cake artist and wedding cake vendor, I love working with the GW because the entire staff is incredibly friendly, accommodating and eager to lend a helping hand. They are solely focused on making sure your wedding day is amazing and memorable for you and your guests.

The GW Hotel brings to life the class and elegance of the past. The ballroom is beautiful and the courtyard provides a great outdoor option. As a photographer I'm a huge fan of the lounge for photographing the groom and his guys. Most important in my opinion is the staff, energetic and caring; they take a personal interest in every bride making sure everything runs smoothly (it always does by the way). I often get to see what goes on in the "background" and watch as the staff prepares the ballroom for ceremonies/ receptions. They pay attention to the details, I've seen servers walk by a table see that the centerpiece or table number was slightly off center and move it (we're talking an inch or so). If I was getting married I would want the friendly, detail oriented team at the GW Hotel worrying about everything so I wouldn't have to!
