“We had the most amazing experience with our wedding at Georgina's on 6/15/24. Ever since our first meeting, the wedding coordinator (Harold) was so helpful and accommodating to our needs/requests. He made the whole process seamless and stress free. He is very professional, knowledgeable and quickly responsive. Georgina's food is outstanding (even the apps!) our family and friends still rave about it. The cost of the venue was the most reasonable, very affordable, and quite shocking for all that is included. I am so glad we stumbled upon Georgina's during our search for a venue. It is such a beautiful venue to get married at, we call it our little "hidden gem". Our wedding on 6/15/24 was absolutely perfect. Harold went above and beyond for us making sure all decor was just right. Not to mention, my husband and I never had an empty drink in hand LOL. Harold was there providing us with the next one before the last was finished. I cannot thank Harold and the entire staff at Georgina's enough. If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing.“

“Wow !!! A group of 4 of us were traveling through the area and needed a good place for Dinner …We called and made a reservation , the owner Al was very personable on the phone .We arrived for dinner and he had our name on table , and he introduced himself …We had a couple of beers while he explained the menu to us ….we Decided on a couple of appetizers and also a small pizza to sample before ordering our dinner . The appetizers arrived and were very good, but the star of the show was definitely the pizza , so much flavor … the crust was to die for light and airy and so much crunch in the crust !!!! Next was the Dinner - Chicken Francaise , Chicken Parm , Chicken Marsala , Fettuccini Carbonaro .All meals arrived hot and were Delicious …We also got to meets Al’s Daughter who was very personable just like her Father ….We wished we had this Restaurant in our community . Give this Restaurant a shot , you won’t regret it . Thank you“
