otherwise this was pretty much a perfect winter wedding in a very scenic town

otherwise this was pretty much a perfect winter wedding in a very scenic town. All thanks to Natalie and her team at The George In Rye who from day 1 of our planning were super efficient and helpful and who on the day were superbly organised and attentive to our needs. My mum did high end silver service waitressing for nearly 40 years and she was very impressed at everything she saw and all our thirty guests really enjoyed the day (beyond stuff people just say to the married couple) in large part due to the venue and staff.

The vision I had came to life

We really appreciate all of your help, you’ve been amazing. The day was so beautiful, so so warm and festive! The vision I had came to life with your help so we were so pleased. Everyone, including us, had such a great time. We keep looking at the photos and get emotional at just how lovely it was. Just went too quick!

Jen, you have been AMAZING. Thank you for everything. I’ve so enjoyed working with you – you’re the only thing that kept me sane throughout, and what’s even nicer about it all is that I feel like I’ve made a new friend along the way….. THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Lived up to all expectations

Just a note from us, thank you for all your hard work for our wedding. When we viewed the George back in January you painted such a great picture and it lived up to all expectations. I'm sure we will be back lots of times to celebrate our anniversaries.

Blown away

I just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you - from George and I - for the most fantastic day on Saturday. Honestly, from start to finish it was more than we could have hoped for. The venue, service and food was incredible - we had so many compliments on all it all and we were just so blown away by how everyone went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day.

Best Wedding Ever

We and our guests had a fantastic time - many said, ‘best wedding ever’. Of course, we agree. Please thank everyone who looked after us all weekend - we could not have asked for more. Thank you also for the little details - they didn’t go unnoticed (July 2022)
