Garden Suite

The Garden Suite is our newest room and is an exclusive post-ceremony reception room for couples having their marriage or civil partnership in the Hamlet Suite or Tower Suite in St George's Town Hall.

This large open space can hold up to 50 seated and 80 people standing but can be tailored by you, to your needs.

The room is available for 3 hour intervals in the morning or afternoon and you can use it to have a mini-reception with your loved ones. Wether you want to pop open a bottle of bubbly, or have that first slice of cake, the Garden Suite is the ideal space for you to spend time with your guests after your ceremony; perhaps before going to more celebrations elsewhere.

We are licenced for 80 people standing with poseur tables, 50 people seated in ceremony style, or a maximum of 50 people seated around rectangular or round tables.
