Function Venue
•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.
Walking through the art-deco lobby into the George Ballroom is like stepping back in time. Originally opened in the 1860’s, our venue has been lovingly restored to its original period charm. It features wooden floorboards, signature herita...
The George Ballroom. What a venue. What a team. Molly is an amazing events manager and really helped make the wedding planning process as smooth as possible. Her knowledge and insights were incredibly valuable, helping us catch things we might have missed otherwise. The venue is absolutely stunning - we knew from our first visit that this was the place for us. The food was also spectacular! Many guests were quick to compliment the exceptional and attentive service staff - so to Bec, Chris and the rest of the team, thank you so much! Thank you again to the team at TGB and Damn Fine Foods for the level of care and service you provided. We could not have hoped for a better experience. Our wedding day marked the 10 year anniversary of our relationship (to the day!) and this has certainly set the bar high for future milestone events!
We did not end up selecting The George Ballroom for our wedding venue, but I wanted to say that all of our dealings with Molly were lovely, professional & timely. She was very helpful with our enquiries & I would definitely come back to this venue in future. Thank you so much, hope to have you host us then!
We recently hosted a wonderful wedding (ceremony + reception) at The George Ballroom. The space itself is stunning and our guests were full of praise for its heritage beauty and also the generous food servings on the night. Our event manager Victoria was incredibly supportive, responsive and efficient throughout the planning process, and the event staff were also very professional and helpful. We would definitely highly recommend The George for weddings and other celebrations alike.
From the moment we stepped foot into The George Ballroom, we knew it was the wedding venue for us. Simply stunning. But to go with the beautiful venue, is the delicious food, and great service of all the staff. Our event co-ordinator, Ashleigh, was fabulous, we felt completely at ease knowing everything was taken care of for us. Nothing was too much trouble. A truly memorable day for both my husband and I, and all of our guests. Highly recommend to anyone considering this venue for their event.
We knew from the moment we saw the George Ballroom that it was where we wanted to get married and we did on December 21, 2020. The venue was perfect, we did not need to add too many flowers or signage as the room is beautiful on its own. The venue looks stunning in every photo. The staff were fantastic! Especially Victoria who was a god send. There was no problem too big or detail too small for her, and she made our day so stress free. The food was also amazing. Every guest raved about the quality and quantity of the food and great service from the staff. If you are considering this venue for your wedding, I would highly recommend it! Such a beautiful, historical venue so close to the city!! Thank you for the perfect wedding.
