We had our wedding reception at George on Collins. Everyone loved the space and could not get over how beautiful everything was. The food was incredible and we loved that the delicious courses just kept on coming. So many of our guests agreed it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Would 100% recommend to anyone considering George on Collins!

I had such an easy and fantastic experience planning and enjoying my 30th here. Beccy and Antonia were always very friendly, responsive, helpful and great at providing ideas and solutions. On the night, I had so many compliments about the location, the venue and the food. Some people even said the sliders were some of the best they'd ever had! Elen and the team on the night were also very friendly, helpful and a pleasure to celebrate my night with :)
