The Creative Vision

Hear what clients say about the eloquent design mind behind The George.

I love the knack Ragan has for weaving together new and old pieces. She is a creative Spitfire! I have worked with many designers over the years and none have been as much a pleasure as Ragan. She truly is a gem.

Amber C.

Ragan has incredible taste and design insight, and working with her feels like working with an old friend. She is professional, organized, and provides the design tools to help envision a room.

Yes. The layout allows a full room flip between ceremony and reception. Our day-of coordinator manages the transition while you and your guests enjoy cocktail hour, or the courtyard, if you've added it. The bride's parlor is also available throughout the day for getting ready and pre-ceremony moments.
The George has dedicated parking spaces in the attached parking deck provided at no charge to guests. There are adjacent parking lots, which are monitored by day-of security. Street parking is also free on weekends and holidays, which covers most of our Saturday and Sunday events.
The George accommodates up to 350 guests for plated seated dinners and 500 guests for cocktail-style receptions. We do not exceed 500 guests to maintain the quality of the experience.

The courtyard is available as a paid add-on and can be used for outdoor ceremonies, cocktail hours, or open-air receptions. It's a reserved, dedicated space, ideal for couples who want their ceremony outside before moving indoors for the reception, or for clients who want a cocktail hour under the sky.
