Kerry and I had our wedding celebration at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, using the venues of the Royal Parlour for the wedding and reception, and the Boardroom for the ensuing banquet. These are classically-decorated rooms and perfect venues for up to about 35 guests. We don’t know if it is possible for two guys to have a fairytale wedding but, if it is, ours was surely one for the books. From start to finish, the planning and execution of our event went smoothly and we couldn’t have had a more wonderful celebration. Our interactions with the hotel staff over several months of planning were both professional and commendable and it all culminated with a day that we, and our guests will long remember. The table settings were exceptional, the food from beginning to end was exquisite, and the wait staff was professional, attentive, and friendly – with a flair for the dramatic during the entry of our grand finale ‘surprise’. Kudos to Paul in Catering Services, whose knowledge, guidance and organizational skills were directly responsible for the success of our celebration. His suggestions were outstanding and we knew we could relax knowing that all of the details would be attended to. And they were! We couldn’t be happier with this venue for our celebration. It was perfect!

I was very impressed with the professionalism of the staff at the hotel. The catering manager was so helpful and very pleasant to work with. He was always responsive to our needs and any questions or concerns we had. Everybody was very impressed of the look and the food was fantastic people still can't stop talking about it.
