Georgina's Restaurant & Banquets — Attraction in Bolton

Choosing a venue for your wedding is not necessarily an easy thing to do. After spending many hours looking at all the venues within a 3 hour drive from our home on-line, We narrowed it down to a handful places. Luckily for us the 1st venue we stopped to look at was Georginas Restaurant and Banquet in Bolton, Connecticut. From the moment we walked into the ballroom, I was pretty sure that was the place I wanted to be married! After talking to the owner George, we were ready to end our venue search. He made my husband and I both feel so comfortable. He was so confident in his product and his team, and he definitely knew how to put a couple anxious about their wedding at ease.

Once we signed our contract, we were in the very capable hands of Estrella, the Banquet Manager, and Kaitlyn, the Assistant Banquet Manager. Both of them did an amazing job. We primary dealt with Estrella, as she was our lead for our special day. One of the things that we most appreciated is that they don’t overwhelm you. They know you have a lot on your plate, so in the 6-7 meetings we had with them leading up to our special day, we accomplished things in smaller chunks (seating chart and table arrangements on one visit, linens and color scheme on another, etc). During our menu tasting, we got a great idea of the food that was going to be served to our guests, and we got to sit down with the chef afterwards and make any adjustments or ask questions about the food preparation. When it came to our actual wedding day, Estrella was incredible. We did our ceremony in their beautiful front lawn area, with a gazebo. She helped make sure all of our guests knew where to go, and made sure all the wedding party entrances went smoothly. During the actual cocktail hour and reception, again, Estrella was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with to make our special day as amazing as it was.

I can’t being to tell you how many of our guests came up to us both during and after our wedding to comment on how great the food was, and how beautiful the ballroom was. Everyone was so impressed with Georgina’s, and it just solidified that we made the right choice in choosing them.

I really have nothing but great things to say about every single person at Georginas. The food was fantastic, the service was great, we would definetly book another event here again and...

My husband and I got married at Georgina’s on 10/4/24 and our wedding day was an absolute dream!

From the moment we booked Georgina’s as our wedding venue, we knew we made the right choice. From the beautiful ballroom, to the charming and well-maintained ceremony area, to the delicious food and spectacular service, the team at Georgina’s really goes above and beyond to take care of all your needs! They have many different “all-inclusive” package options to accommodate various budgets, and for all they offer, their prices are extremely reasonable, without feeling like you’re sacrificing quality.

But the real star of the show is their wedding coordinator, Harold! From our first meeting, we clicked instantly. Harold was not only professional and organized but he was extremely personable, enthusiastic and helpful. Throughout the wedding planning process, he was extremely responsive and always made time to answer our many questions or help us troubleshoot any issues we encountered, which helped to alleviate a lot of stress.

The day of our wedding, Harold made sure that the venue was decorated perfectly (per my Type A bride specifications, lol) and worked great alongside my other wedding vendors, while keeping them on schedule. I still get praises from them about Harold to this day! He also made sure that my husband and I did not have to lift a finger on our special day. He made sure that we always had a drink/appetizer in hand, that we looked perfect before walking down the aisle, he fixed our dinner plates for us, and even packed up some desserts for us as we didn’t get a chance to enjoy them during the wedding.

I’ve been in many weddings over the last few years and Harold is easily the best wedding coordinator I have encountered. His passion for what he does is easily observed in his attention to detail and how he treats everyone around him. His character truly speaks volumes and it was such a pleasure to work with him. I would hire him for all my major life events, if I could! So, if you’re looking for a beautiful yet affordable wedding venue, with delicious food, amazing drinks, excellent waitstaff and one phenomenal wedding coordinator, go with Georgina’s. I promise, you will not be...

We held our baptism reception at Georgina's. We were promised the world from the owner, George and banquet manager, John . We got none of it on the day of the reception. Crackers and cheese table were empty and re-fills were non-existent. I had to ask the server to bring out more crackers as they waited awkwardly for more. The ambiance was silent and contorted. Timing of meals was off. My guests had to wait as the buffet came out. The buffet table was set across from a table of 10. The buffet line had to cut through the guests sitting trying to enjoy their meal. Bad spot to put buffet. Meanwhile...I am trying to enjoy myself, but I find myself trying to figure out they they put only 2 servers on for a party of 64.

Once the cake came out and served, coffee ran out. I had to tell the server to re-fill the coffee as my guests were sitting waiting to have coffee with their cake. It was VERY AWKWARD to have 64 people waiting for the coffee container to be filled. In the meantime, the ice-cream melted. The food in the buffet ran out. My guests WAITED for more chicken franchese...more pasta...and more veggies. VERY INEXCUSABLE!

I approached the owner of the restaurant, George, who sat in his office surfing the internet, and explained to him I was unhappy. He was apologetic and full of excuses. At the end of the day, he came up with every excuse under the sun--blaming the server who also served as "floor manager". During my initial negoitiations with the banquet manager, John, he promised me the he would be there that day directing things--and he was a no-show.

There was a lot of mis-communication between the banquet manager and owner--as both PROMISE you everything and nothing goes smoothly. It was clear, these guys wanted to make their money and shaft us on the service. Although the food was good, my guests and I had to WAIT for it. I will NEVER use this place again for a banquet. It was over-priced...
