Wedding photography and film at The George Hotel

The George Hotel is a hotel wedding venue in Lichfield, set within a historic coaching inn on the city's market square.

A coaching inn in the heart of Lichfield's market square, The George Hotel combines the warmth of a well-established town-centre hospitality landmark with accessible event facilities and the medieval character of one of England's finest cathedral cities surrounding it.

We are genuinely drawn to everything this setting offers: the warmth of a well-established town-centre landmark, the medieval character of the cathedral city surrounding it, and the kind of lived-in charm that gives wedding photography and film real depth and texture. Lichfield's market square and its extraordinary cathedral backdrop mean there is a richness to the light and the streetscape that few town-centre venues can match. It is exactly the sort of place we would love to bring our cameras to.
