It was the perfect space for our event and as it was such a beautiful day, our group were able to spill out into the open area outside of the Lounge as well. The staff were absolutely amazing from the original event brief, on to the fantastic Jess and Brae who helped us on the day. Would not hesitate to recommend the Lounge if you are looking to host an event.We just recently held our daughter's wedding recovery at The George Lounge.
