The George Ballroom is back! Can you believe it?! I know, neither can we. After a nine year hiatus and extensive restoration the George Ballroom is back to its former glory, just as it was in its 1930s heyday. This historical event space is located on the first floor of The George Hotel in Fitzroy Street, St. Kilda and has retained its classic and elegant features. You will fall in love with its hand painted ornate ceiling rosettes, stained-glass windows and the whimsical feeling left with you long after leaving this one-of-a-kind venue – a place you thought you could only romanticise over. But now, the Damm Fine Food team can turn your dreams into a reality. This old dame is new again. #theballroomisbackPictures tell a thousand more words, so fall deeper in love by following @georgeballroom on Instagram.
Reviews for The George Ballroom
Howard Bould
We recently had our wedding at The George Ballroom, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the team were incredible to work with — so helpful, attentive and genuinely lovely throughout the entire process. A special thank you to Samantha, the Manager, who was absolutely wonderful to deal with. Samantha made everything so easy for us and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. Her help, care and attention throughout the planning process and on the night itself made such a difference. The night was absolutely perfect. Every detail came together just as we had imagined, and the George Ballroom was a stunning setting for our celebration. Both we and our guests had an amazing time, and we’ve had so many compliments about the venue, the atmosphere and how smoothly everything ran. We’re incredibly grateful to Samantha and the whole team at The George for helping make our wedding day so special. We couldn’t recommend the venue more highly.

Samantha was incredible to work with and so lovely, helpful and easy to deal with throughout the entire process. She truly helped make our day feel effortless and special. We had the most amazing night and so did all of our guests. We’re so grateful to Samantha and the whole team for making our wedding day so perfect.

We recently had our wedding at The George Ballroom. I often joke that I had a shortlist of venues already prepared by the time my now-husband (surprise) proposed, but this is the truth and The George Ballroom was number 1 on that list. As soon as we stepped into the ballroom, we decided there and then that that was the space for our special day. Beautiful as they are and will be, pictures will not do it justice as you'd have to be there in person to really take in just how stunningly gorgeous the space is. The heritage space with its worn walls and high ceilings is a dream come true. A lot of our guests commented that it gave 'Bridgerton vibes'. It's beautiful enough that you wouldn't need to do much for additional styling and decor - the staff at The George Ballroom will have your back with this especially if you're planning your own wedding like I did! The entire process of planning the wedding, from the start, to the final weeks leading up to the day, and the day itself was seamless. For this, we owe a great debt of gratitude to our venue event coordinator Samantha Trudgett, and also to Molly Barton who set things in motion for us at the start. Samantha was always readily available and responsive, professional, insightful and super organised. She took the initiative to make sure that things were running smoothly on the day and where needed, offered helpful suggestions using her wealth of wedding event experience and expertise. My maid of honour also commented on how helpful she was. Most importantly, Samantha made me feel reassured and at ease and kept my anxiety of planning things at bay in the period leading up to the day. The food was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary menu tasting dinner. Selecting our courses for the event was challenging with so many good options! We had guests from all over the world and they all loved the food. We had quite a large percentage of dietary requirements in the group and all were met without any issues. The staff were all so lovely and warm. We cannot recommend the lovely team at Damm Fine Foods and The George Ballroom enough! Thank you for making our dream a reality! Lib and Phil

We got married and had our ceremony at The Geoege Ballroom last Sunday and it was everything we dreamed of! We worked with Samantha and she was so lovely and so helpful! So friendly, gave us her time and made the process comfortable and easy! She walked us through everything and really did make sure the rehearsal and the day itself ran smoothly and it truly did! We loved working with Sam and would recommend the George to anyone! It gives off the most dreamiest, romantic vibe!

We had the most wonderful wedding reception at The George Ballroom. Our event coordinator, Samantha, was so helpful and attentive throughout the planning process and was very flexible with helping us add all of the little personalised touches that helped make our day so special. The ballroom looked so spectacular when it was set up and allowed for such a great atmosphere for us and our guests to enjoy their night in. The food and the service was all fantastic as well. We couldn't have asked for anything more and are so glad we decided to celebrate our marriage at The George Ballroom.
