The George Washington Hotel Reviews

I wanted a historic, “all inclusive” venue, including over night accommodations. This place is it, especially for a wedding over 100 people. Robert was amazing, as was Erica and Brooke, for keeping me up to date and making our special day amazing! The food, decor, staff and valets were exceptional. The overnight accommodations are not up to par with a Marriott, but it is a place to sleep after a fun and beautiful wedding!

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after party at The George Washington. First off, the hotel is beautiful and so full of history, which we loved. Every room has its own unique character and vibe. In addition, we had the entire hotel to ourselves with a different part of the event in a different event room so it had the feel of an ongoing celebration and party! Our guests loved the convenience and rolling fun of the day. Lastly, you will not find a more down-to-earth and invested staff! Erica and her team were so competent and invested in us throwing a wonderful event. At every turn, one of the staff members was going above and beyond to maximize our time there!

I had my wedding at The George Washington Hotel and I really could not be happier. The entire staff at the GW is professional, kind and on point. Lia, the wedding coordinator, is amazing at her job. All throughout the pandemic with changing guidelines and an anxious bride, Lia stayed in constant communication and always had a plan. I seriously don’t know what I would have done without her and Felica’s help. The beauty of the historic hotel speaks for itself. If you want a venue with character, this is it! The food was delicious and service was top notch. I really just can’t say enough about this venue, go see it! It’s a one stop shop, they helped me rent chairs, order linens and had food and a room for available for an after party. Highly recommend!

The George Washington Hotel was amazing! Such an easy process from start to finish. Erica was wonderful, helping rearrange flowers the morning of when they wilted. The food was amazing, and the decor they have available is beautiful. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We got married at the George Washington on 12/7/19. It truly was the best day of our lives and we have the staff at the George Washington to thank! The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous. Coordinator Lia was always available prior to our wedding for any and all questions and always got back to me so quickly. The day of our event was so wonderful. Lia made sure things went so smoothly and everything went amazing because of her! We got so many compliments from our guests about how impressed they were with all the staff and the venue. Everyone raved over our food, the chef is so talented. We truly had the best day and we are so thankful to the staff at the George Washington! I would recommend this venue to any couple looking to have an amazing wedding.

Having our wedding at the George Washington Hotel was so perfect! Lia and the event management/hotel management team were so wonderful and so responsive to work with! The food was fantastic and we have received so many compliments on our food. The unique setting was exactly what we were looking for and was far from the generic hotel ballroom wedding.

We booked based on atmosphere and accessibility and got much more than that. Food is outstanding, staff is friendly, prompt, and experienced. We’ll remember that weekend for the rest of our lives.

My daughter had her wedding at The George Washington Hotel in May 2019 and we could not have been happier! First of all, the venue itself is gorgeous with its vintage charm, two story ballroom, beautiful chandeliers, balconies, and hardwood floors. My guests that had booked overnight accommodations loved the history. How cool is it to stay in a room where The Beatles or Marilyn Monroe stayed? Those that stayed at the hotel loved just having to go downstairs for the ceremony and reception and not having to drive after. We even had an after party in the bar downstairs.

But what was really impressive was the staff and the service they provided! They all went above and beyond to make our day perfect! One of the best things about using this venue is that we didn't have to do much at all! They did all the food in-house and alcohol, set-up and clean-up (including cake-cutting and cookie table for no extra charges), and provided linens, chair covers, and offered many decorations with no additional cost.

Lia, the Director of Events, always answered my random texts within minutes and was super easy to talk to and always eager to help! Since my daughter also held her ceremony there, Lia coordinated all the timing of the events which went off without a hitch. So many guests complimented how smoothly things ran and were very impressed that they never had to wait for cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and dinner that immediately followed. Lia not only was open to any of our unique ideas, but also offered many great ones herself. And, dinner was amazing! I was a little concerned since we selected a lower priced menu; however, sooo many guests loved the chicken, the beef, and the vegetarian option! Everyone was very impressed how Chef Jimme could make 181 great meals! The other staff members were impressive as well. Felicia, who set everything up in the ballroom, did a fabulous job with our cookie table! We never had to worry about cookies being replenished, the gift box full of money, or even cleaning up all our breakable items. Similarly, every person I spoke with at the GW is super friendly and helpful. Tim from the front desk is the friendliest person ever and Brooke, who I made financial arrangements with, was super helpful as well. Another person who went above and beyond was Tyler, owner of Tylermade, who sometimes helps at the hotel. When we were struggling doing our own lighting, he gladly stepped in to help & even got up on a ladder and arranged flowers on the mantle for us!

Obviously, I can’t say enough about this amazing wedding venue! Numerous guests told us it was the best wedding ever! I would highly recommend the George Washington because of the beautiful venue, excellent food, and awesome service!

We honestly could not have asked for more for our day. Chris was wonderful, flexible with any changes and constantly responsive whenever I would contact him day or night. What we loved the most and fell in love with right away was the uniqueness of the hotel and the history behind it. The character of the ballroom said enough and we barely needed to do any additional decorating. The entire staff was pleasant and so accommodating. They opened the bar for an after party so our guests didn’t have to leave the hotel. We had an absolute blast! Wouldn’t have changed a single thing.

We used the George Washington Hotel for the whole weekend since over 50% of our guests were from out of town. On Friday night, we held our rehearsal dinner there in the Pioneer Room; on Saturday, we had our ceremony in the Washington Room, cocktail hour in the lobby, and the reception in the ballroom; and on Sunday we did a farewell brunch for our out of town guests back in the Pioneer Room. The food was excellent at every meal. One of the best things about using this venue is that we didn't have to worry about very much at all! They do all the food in-house, they do set-up and clean-up, and they provide linens, chair covers, and offer many decorations with no additional cost. Everything looked beautiful and we had a fantastic day. And this is almost all attributable to Chris, the wedding coordinator there. He worked his tail off for us. He was always available through phone, text, or email to answer any questions and offer suggestions. At the rehearsal dinner, he even bar-tended! He really took care of us, and I don't think we went home at all that weekend!

The George Washington Hotel was the best decision my husband and I made when planning our wedding!! We had our cocktail hour, reception, after party and morning after breakfast at the hotel and are still reminiscing (along with our families!) at how wonderful everything was!! Chris and his team were absolutely FANTASTIC to work with. Chris was so attentive to our needs during the entire process and completely exceeded our expectations. Courtney was so great to work with as well and had great attention to detail! We never had to hesitate in asking - anything we wanted/needed - Chris, Courtney and their staff made it their priority to make it happen. The food at every stage of our reception was EXCEPTIONAL and we are still receiving compliments from our guests! The chefs at the hotel are extremely knowledgeable and gave us great advice on selecting food at our tasting. Additional to the amazing staff, what makes The George Washington so amazing for a wedding venue is its classic décor and unique history. You really feel like you took a step back in time and the rooms are so beautiful that you really don't require much decoration. There are so many fantastic areas to take pictures - our photos turned out so gorgeous! Thank you again Chris, Courtney and The George Washington staff for making our wedding everything we dreamed of! :-)

Honestly, could not have asked for a better venue. We had the event planner change just about a month before the wedding and I was a little nervous. Chris did an amazing job. He was helpful, flexible and accommodating. The day of the wedding was phenomenal. Tim and Chris as a team could not have been better. Not only is the staff perfection including wait staff, bartenders, and housekeeping, but the hotel is gorgeous if you like a vintage feel. The owner even introduced himself. It feels nothing like one of these chain hotels, cold and sterile, but warm and inviting. I felt like everyone there wanted things to be perfect, really more than I did.

I had my wedding 9.9.17. I can not say enough great things about this venue and Brad and his team. The food, details, set up, cake cutting, everything was a seamless process. Brad did a great job making sure everything was taken care of personally. He definitely made my job as the bride easier, because after meeting him the first time I just knew he would do a great job. People raved about the food and many said that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. We had crab cakes, coconut shrimp, chicken cordon bleu, and the beef tenderloin. The unique hotel venue is gorgeous. Just add some beautiful flowers and candles and it will look gorgeous. If you are looking to have a wedding soon I would ABSOLUTELY check this place out!!! Thanks Brad for a wonderful day!!!!

This hotel was astounding. We couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful to make our day special. Brad was incredible to work with - always replying to any questions within a few hours at most and thinking of everything, even tons of small details we hadn't considered. We said to each other all night that we didn't pay nearly enough for the amazing reception that we got - the presentation, the food, the service was all perfect. I would never have expected my wedding day to be as beautiful as it was, but the George Washington made it happen. And the suites we and our friends had for the night were equally as impressive. You will not be disappointed with this venue.

The George Washington is a beautiful hotel and venue and I has so many guests tell me how great the reception looked. The ballroom went perfect with my gold and burgundy fall color scheme. Also, the staff was very accommodating and Claire, the coordinator was awesome! She was very responsible and helpful with all our questions and she was very flexible with our requests. She really helped make the day perfect. The food is also delicious and the bartenders were very nice and personable. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

Our wedding at The George Washington Hotel was absolutely incredible. Claire couldn't have made it any easier or better for us either! She was always answering questions no matter how simple or what time of day she always had an answer for us and truly made this day as stress and care free as a wedding can possibly be. Thanks to the amazing chef Scott, The food was the best wedding food we've ever had. We had Steak and Salmon which were both perfect as well as the sides we chose. The wait staff was incredible as well, they were always smiling, very polite and also very helpful to us and all of our guests. I can't begin to guess how many compliments we got on the hotel itself as well which is truly a beautiful and well kept hotel. To top the night off the room we stayed in was truly a Presidential suite and couldn't have been better. All in all, everything at The George Washington Hotel from Claire, to the wait staff, to the chef and food truly made our wedding an unforgettable night not only to us but to all of our guests as well.

We were so thrilled with how our big day turned out. The hotel is so gorgeous, the food was delicious and Claire was great! She was responsive, helpful, provided excellent suggestions and made our wedding go as smoothly as possible. It was very clear to us how hard she works and we appreciated her efforts. Seriously, our wedding day was perfect - and we felt that they were very reasonably priced!

Our wedding was the best day of our lives! We could not have asked for a better staff; Claire was amazing and was very flexible and easy to work with. The George Washington Hotel is a hidden gem in southwestern Pennsylvania.
If you are comparing the George Washington to somewhere else, look no further! We almost didn't consider this venue because we thought it was out of our budget, but it ended up being one of the most affordable places around. The George Washington has great charm, elegant character, and is very unique compared to other hotel venues. We 100% recommend!

We had the best possible experience on our wedding day. Claire was fantastic and amazing and went above and beyond for my husband and myself. We had a lot of stress leading up to the big day and they made everything so simple and easy. Our guest loved the food and said we were the best wedding they had ever been to!

I love this venue and brad jox is amazing he has been very helpful and acomidateing

The George Washington Hotel was perfect for our wedding. After working in the wedding business for years I wanted something unique and inclusive. I found the George Washington at a bridal show and was instantly hooked just from the photos they displayed. When I visited in person, it was more beautiful than the pictures even seemed!

Brad, the wedding coordinator, was absolutely wonderful through the whole process. He got back to any question I had within a day, if not hours. He was patient and enthusiastic even when our meetings went on for hours. The package was inclusive so all I had to worry about was finding a DJ, photographer, and florist.

Our wedding day went off perfectly and was more beautiful than I could have even hoped for. All of the staff went above and beyond to make sure our guests and our families were treated wonderfully. The whole bridal party and most of our immediate families stayed over night and everyone was pleased with the accommodations. My husband and I loved the JFK suite! Me and my bridal party got ready there during the day and had a ton of room to spread out.

I would highly recommend the George Washington for a beautiful wedding!

This venue is an absolute hidden gem! We were blown away at the beauty, charm and historical aspects of this hotel. Brad Jox, the event manager, was wonderful to work with! He is so professional and talented in his job and will make sure everything goes perfect on your big day. His attention to detail and organization as he guided us through the last couple months before the big day made us feel relaxed because we knew we were in good hands. The staff was also great in making sure everything was taken care of from the room block to the meal selections. I am so glad we found such a neat venue hidden in Little Washington. If you want the vintage feel at a reasonable price, this is your dream venue!!! The food was fabulous and served hot in a timely manner. We chose Beef Burgundy and Chicken Piccata and it was so very tender and tasty. It was a 5 Star home run!

Note from mother of the bride: Brad Jox, I can’t thank you enough for making our daughters wedding the beautiful family weekend that it was! Your ever so strict attention to details were the key to the perfect weekend! Just perfect! This vintage hotel is already a gem, but Brad and Reed and the rest of the staff are the reason it is! No matter the planning, every wedding day has its glitches and you had a solution for everything

Our wedding was absolutely perfect and I owe that to the amazing staff and event planner at the George Washington Hotel. The event planner, Brad, was an amazing person to work with. We planned our wedding in three months. He and the rest of the staff did an amazing job of keeping me at ease with the entire process. The Hotel is so beautiful, but Brad and his crew added so much decoration and details it really made for the most beautiful evening. I would recommend this Hotel to anyone looking to plan their wedding with ease. Thank you to everyone at the George Washington Hotel!

Brad, the current event planner at the George Washington, is a wedding superstar!!!! Let me start by first saying that my husband and I were on a shoe string budget with our wedding. Less than 5k for the entire wedding! They treated us wonderfully without regard to budget and gave us several "extras" that other venues would have charged thousands for. In fact Brad re-worked the entire menu so that it would be fully vegetarian and save us money.
I never imagined that I would have the perfect wedding experience on such a small budget but The George Washington made it happen!
Please check this place out and meet with Brad if you are getting married within the area- it's beautiful, historic, and they do everything in their power to suit your needs for your special day.
