The George Washington Hotel-A Wyndham Grand Hotel Reviews

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!!!

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.

Rachel was so amazing to help us plan our day! The hotel was so accountable and workable and so special to make us have the day we imagined! We are so glad we had our day with yall it truly was magical vintage day like we wanted!

Working with two different contacts over a year-long period, we could not have been more pleased with our experience at The George Washington. Most communication was by email, as we live in Texas and our daughter's wedding was in Berryville, VA. We needed to have not only a room block, but special requests for our elderly parents who were making the trip. We also had a coordinated event in the Half-Note Lounge the evening before the wedding to welcome our guests with Champagne and desserts (highly recommend the brownies!). Each aspect was handled professionally, timely, and with respect and courteous compassion to accommodate our needs. Special S/O to Rachel Thomas, our main contact, and Maryin at the front desk, as well as Rich and Will in the lounge, who even though seemed a bit surprised at the gathering taking place, went above and beyond to take care of us. It was one of our favorites parts of the weekend!

Rachel was very responsive and excellent to work with. The venue is absolutely stunning! The food is delicious. It was everything we dreamed of in a wedding and more!

We had a wonderful experience with the GW. Kendra is awesome! We had a unique wedding and they were always working something in to make it happen. We hope to never get married again...lol...but we would recommend their services! Prices are very comparable and in some areas much more affordable compared to other venues.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the GW! From the moment we decided to reschedule our spring wedding Amy, Jane, and Emily went above and beyond. They were kind, flexible, and demonstrated impeccable customer service. Our experience was so refreshing and for that they have earned a customer for life. I cannot wait to work with them in 2021 to make our dream wedding a reality!

From the start, the George Washington Hotel was an easy choice for us to make to secure our wedding venue. When we had to postpone our wedding from May to November, the venue was nothing but flexible and understanding. Everyone was very responsive, nearly almost always a same day response was received! Although COVID precautions were in place during our wedding ceremony and reception, everything turned out just as I have envisioned. We were glad that masks were required and appropriate social distancing measures were taken to ensure everyone felt safe and comfortable! We have heard from many family members how comfortable they felt and how nice it was to be able to have such a beautiful wedding during such a crazy time. I would 100% recommend Kendra and The George Washington Hotel to anyone looking to work with great people at a beautiful venue!

The staff was awesome (friendly, timely follow up, and made sure we had everything needed). The venue is beautiful!

I cannot say enough good things about Jane and the entire team at the George Washington Hotel! With COVID-19, we had to postpone our larger reception since a majority of our guests were traveling from out of state. In just a few short weeks, Jane was able to help us plan a perfect dinner reception for our immediate families. We visited the hotel to see the various rooms and ultimately decided on the ballroom. It provided the perfect amount of space for our families to spread out, but still felt intimate and our small group did not feel lost in the space. Jane helped by providing some sample floor plans that are in line with the current state guidelines. The food was FANTASTIC - it really was the best wedding food any of us have ever had- and the team there that night made sure everything ran smoothly. As soon as the groom and I walked in, they made sure to check in with us and got us a drink to relax and celebrate. They were able to accommodate some severe food allergies and even made a quick change to a dessert so another guest could enjoy it as well. We also hosted a breakfast the next morning before our families traveled home and that was fantastic as well. The staff also made my niece's day when they saved her flower girl bouquet that was left in a water glass at night and gave it back to her the next morning.
I could go on and on about how attentive and professional all of the staff was from booking hotel rooms for our guests, to dinner and breakfast. I cannot thank you all enough for helping a stressed-out, anxious bride plan a whole second wedding in just a few weeks!

There are not enough wonderful things I can say about the staff and the George Washington Hotel. If you want a wedding venue that will put your needs and interest first, this is the place for you. Although the covid situation and travel restrictions caused our wedding to be canceled, Jane and Amy treated us with the care and concern shown throughout the entire 6 months we worked together. The venue is beautiful, food is top shelf and the service was impeccable. And yes all this is true without even having our event! I dream of what it would have been. You however, can make it happen! Please check out this incredible wedding venue!

My fiancé and I just had our wedding at the George Washington hotel and couldn't say better things about the venue, the staff and the planning team. We worked closely with Jane and Amy leading up to the event and we were so impressed with their level of professionalism. We handmade most of our decorations, customized each centerpiece and even set things up a little differently in the ballroom. Even with all of that, the team was great!

Also, our guests raved about the food and the location. Weeks later, our guests are still talking about our wedding.

As the Mother of the Bride, I knew we were hosting several dozen out of town guests. We wanted them to have the perfect place to stay during their visit to Winchester. The Parents of the Groom hosted the rehearsal dinner there as well and the whole evening was perfect. Good people who are friendly and professional work here that will attend to every detail for you, from menus to room accomodations, to AV equipment to show pictures, etc.

The venue was absolutely breathtaking and the staff was phenomenal. The staff was extremely easy to work with and they were on top of everything, making our wedding day absolutely flawless. We would recommend to anyone and everyone!

When we first visited the The George Washington Hotel, we fell in love with the space right away. It had exactly the right vibe for our Versailles-themed wedding and required little additional decor besides floral arrangements. We also liked that our out of town guests could stay right there and not have to worry about transportation. The hotel rooms there were also very nice, especially the suite we stayed in the night of the wedding.

Jane and the entire staff of The George Washington Hotel went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely perfect! I really cannot say enough good things about them. Jane is SUCH a pleasure to work with and incredibly professional. I'm sure I drove her crazy with all the emails I sent about food choices, stickers for the seating cards, the dimensions of the mantle in the George Room for the florist, and just the most mundane details about our wedding, but she was always very responsive and helpful in answering all my questions.

Emily, who handled the reservations for our room block, was equally professional and helpful. She fielded a ridiculous amount of emails from myself and my dad and was always so polite.

The day of the wedding, the entire staff of The George Washington Hotel really brought their A game. The food and beverage service was excellent and, as we had come to expect, everyone was very friendly and professional. They helped setup the seating cards, our remembrance table, and even moved our card box to our room and setup our wedding favors. Everything ran so smoothly that day and Jane and the rest of the staff played a HUGE part in that.

We also had our rehearsal dinner at George's Food & Spirits and our morning-after breakfast was in one of the smaller meeting rooms, and both of those smaller events were absolutely perfect as well.

We're so glad that we chose to have our wedding at The George Washington Hotel and we HIGHLY recommend it!

The entire staff is amazing! Everyone was so kind and understanding! They are willing to work with you and you’re designs! The hotel itself of gorgeous and beauty of its own.

After looking at nearly 30 venues in the DC metro area we ultimately chose The George Washington Hotel and it could not have been more perfect for our wedding. The other venues were missing something- whether it be a lack of rain plan or too few bathrooms for our number of guests, something was always amiss. We visited many beautiful places but the GW has the whole package. Not only was the Ballroom absolutely stunning but the staff were INCREDIBLE. We also loved the pocket garden and it’s string lights to set the mood for cocktail hour.

From the very first meeting we were impressed with the hotel and staff. Our first meeting was with Felicia, and she was wonderful at answering and humoring all of our many, many questions. She showed us packages and available dates and really talked us through the George Washington wedding experience.

The George Washington had the space to accommodate our full wedding weekend itinerary. Beginning with a rehearsal dinner and ending with a Sunday brunch buffet. Our guests never had to leave the hotel and we were able to customize everything to fit our specific tastes. We loved how we could customize every detail of our wedding weekend to make the entire weekend exactly as we had imagined.

From the point of booking with Felicia to meeting Jane to go over our wedding weekend details, we felt confident and at ease.

All of the staff we met and worked with were extremely professional, kind and helpful. We were blown away by the quality of food and portion size at our tasting (and at the wedding). And I was in awe that after the tasting when I briefly glazed over wedding ideas while talking to Jane, they were suddenly detailed at length and incorporated into our day of timeline. Jane was THAT on point that she was able to decipher my half thought out ideas and not only make them legible on paper but to write them out in the exact ways that I imagined them.

Emily was so helpful and prompt with assisting with everything and anything relating to our room block. We had over 70 guests staying in 35 rooms at the hotel and Emily was fabulous at giving me updates, swapping rooms around and ensuring that everyone got room gift bags. She was flexible, professional and when I asked 12 questions a day leading up to the last weeks before our wedding, she typically responded immediately.

We had the wedding of our dreams and it was all thanks to the George Washington Hotel, Jane, Emily, Darren, and all of the other staff who helped to make sure our entire weekend was special. We couldn’t be happier with everyone and everything. We were even happy with their recommended vendor lists. We used most of the recommendations and loved everyone that we selected!

Choosing The George Washington Hotel to host our special weekend was the best decision we made. If you’re reading a million reviews trying to select a venue like we did, do it! Pick the GW!

Choosing to have our wedding at The George Washington Hotel was the best decision we could have made. The hotel's wedding coordinator, Jane Obst, is just wonderful and it was a pleasure to have her walk us through the entire process! Our guests were blown away by the quality of the food as well as by the beauty of the space. The ballroom is breathtaking and made for excellent photos! To cap it all off, our farewell breakfast was delicious and the perfect way to say goodbye to all of our guests. We can't recommend them enough!

Overall the George Washington Hotel in Winchester Va did a wonderful job with our wedding. Their staff made the experience pleasant from the planning to the actual day of the wedding. The food was excellent. We received many compliments. Would highly recommend this venue.

This is our 3rd wedding we have hosted. We had the reception at the George Washington Wyndham Grand Hotel in Winchester. Of the 3 weddings, this was our favorite. The venue, food, bar, and service was al 5 stars. Jane is the event coordinator for the hotel. Jane and her staff did an outstanding job. All of our guests were blown away on what they experienced for the evening. Thank you George Washington Hotel for the best wedding reception I have ever been to. I just had no idea I would be the host of the best reception I have ever been to.

A perfect wedding venue! Everything about the GW is beautiful and our guests loved that they could go straight to their room after the wedding and not have to worry about taxis or car services. The staff flipped the ballroom from ceremony to reception in 45 minutes and it looked amazing! We could not have picked a better place to celebrate our big day!

5 stars! I knew Winchester and The George Washington Hotel was going to be my wedding venue, BEFORE i got engaged. I stopped by the hotel 3 weeks before I got engaged and spoke w Jane who humored a "soon to be engaged lady" and gave me the wedding packages folder, answered all my questions, discussed availability and laid some of my fears/anxiety to rest. She was great about contacting me in a timely manner and kept me on track for all events including tastings and final head counts. The food was amazing, soo many great compliments on the pairings dish: steak and shrimp. Everyone thought their meal was delicious! Our ceremony and reception were at the George. Fast and amazing conversion from ceremony room to reception room. Loved the shaded windows which added ambiance and romance to a 5pm ceremony/reception. I would recommend The George Washington Hotel to anyone!! 5 stars!

Thanks Jane and the rest of the team at The George Washington Hotel..They were beyond amazing...Could not have asked for a more perfect venue and they were soooo accommodating and helped make our wedding the magical wedding it was (oh and thanks for the delicious food!!). Highly recommend using them!!

We just did our wedding here on Saturday and are so thankful that we did. I admit it was rocky at first but Jane Obst and her team really exhibited top notch customer service. Nothing but positive feedback about our entire wedding from our guests especially about the food. I would recommend doing a party or wedding here anytime!!
