    Our dream wedding reception!

    We had our wedding reception at the Clarion in September and I have nothing but amazing things to say. Katie was so awesome to work with, she was quick to respond to emails, friendly, professional and really went above and beyond for us. She helped our reception go off without a hitch and we are so thankful! Our guests loved how we had coffee and desserts served all night, and dinner was phenomenal. One of the many reasons we chose this venue in the first place was the big Oak dance floor! We had 193 guests at our wedding and this venue was perfect. We used simple glass votives with candles for our centrepieces, and waterfall lights for our backdrop and it really helped this large area seem very cozy and romantic. Plus the road sign with our names was such a sweet, personal touch. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received. (Professional Photos by JanessaAliciaStudios)

    Amazing Wedding Venue

    Katie and the team are extraordinary. We got to work with Katie throughout our engagement to plan the perfect wedding for us. She has been incredibly kind, easy to work with, and super accommodating with all our preferences. All of our guests were blown away by the buffet that was served for dinner and still talk about it to this day! We could not have chosen a better venue and venue package for our big day.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review Janelle! We're so happy you and Mykell had a great day, and it was such a pleasure getting to know you both and being a part of your special day! Congratulations, we wish you all the best!!

    The Perfect Day

    Absolutely phenomenal experience at the Clarion for our July 29 wedding! The space was not only stunning but also incredibly versatile, allowing us to customize our dream celebration with ease. From the elegant decor to the spacious layout, the venue provided a beautiful backdrop for our special day.
    Katie, the true architect of our magical day, orchestrated a symphony of perfection. Her meticulous planning and genuine enthusiasm created an atmosphere that surpassed all expectations. We were in expert hands from the start.
    But let's talk about the food—each dish was a culinary masterpiece. Our guests are still raving about the amazing buffet months later. And the DJ? Pure magic. The seamless transitions and carefully curated playlist kept the energy alive, turning the celebration into an unforgettable party.
    We can't thank Katie and the entire Clarion team enough for creating magical memories that will last a lifetime. 5 stars without a doubt!

    Excellent in every way

    Excellent service and wonderful end result! I got nothing but compliments from my guests on how good the food was and how well organized everything was. A beautiful and flexible indoor venue where I could have both the ceremony and reception without having to worry about the unpredictable Fraser Valley weather. Their wedding packages included just about everything I needed, so it was easy for me to plan by myself with just the help of the venue staff.

    Ryan is the best - Hotel very accomodating

    Me and my now husband booked to have our wedding at the conference centre in March of 2020 when it was the Quality Hotel still, and suddenly 5 days before the event, everything was shut down due to COVID. The hotel was very understanding and moved our date for us many many times up until 2 years later when we were finally able to have the wedding we had originally planned. We went through several wedding coordinators in that time but all were professional and communicative throughout the process. The setup process with our vendors the day before and day of went very smoothly and we never had an issue with anybody getting what they needed. I need to give SERIOUS props to Ryan who was absolutely amazing the day/evening of our wedding and checked in with us every now and then to make sure all was well, and introduced me to my new favourite bar drink. I recommend this hotel for anybody wanting a beautiful indoor space for their wedding, with added convenience of hotel rooms being easily accessible.

    Best Decision Made for the wedding!

    I would highly recommend the Quality Hotel to any couple looking for a venue that has character (vintage vibe with the chandeliers, but modern with the clean lines and a blank canvas for your décor). This venue stood out to us amongst many others because of its beautiful high-ceilinged rooms and large wall of windows. The natural light coming into the venue on your special day and views were priceless, and we could not find them anywhere else. Ri-An and Carole at the Hotel were awesome coordinators to work with. They made our special day come together with the menu we wanted and working with us with some challenging points we need to work through for planning the day. It all came together with a fantastic and memorable experience on the day. The room was completely set up and laid out with the tables and chairs the day before allowing us to decorate as we wanted. On the wedding day staff were around to make sure everything was taken care of for changing over from our ceremony space to our reception space. The buffet food was set up smoothly and wow! I have had every guest (and ourselves included) rave about the food we received that night. Absolutely delicious menu items, and plentiful! For dessert at the hotel I would HIGHLY recommend the dessert bar that they offer, I think it was one of the biggest hits besides our vows to the guests lol. There were such an assortment of cakes, pies, cheesecakes and tarts everyone went crazy for!

    If you are looking for a venue that will hold the 200+ guest mark I would highly recommend the Quality Hotel, it stands out against a lot of other banquet halls and you are getting great value, experience and service for your money spent.

    Thank you Emma for your wonderful review, we are pleased to know that not only Johnny and yourself were happy but also your guests. We wish you both nothing but happiness in your future!

    Staff Went Above and Beyond for Powerless Ice Storm Wedding

    My now wife and I had our wedding reception at the Quality Hotel this past December during a crazy ice storm. Prior to the day, Malissa had made the whole process very easy and it was nice to make decisions and pass off all the details to her and her crew. The day arrived and we got a phone call 2 hours before the reception to inform us the power was out and ask if we were still going ahead with it. After saying we were still coming, we arrived there to discover Malissa and her crew had gone above and beyond, setting up strings of battery powered lights and candles all over the place. What resulted was an intimate and very memorable candlelit reception that everyone really enjoyed! Thanks Malissa and company for all your hard work and for adjusting on the fly with us during a crazy day!! Despite the lack of power, the reception went smooth as can be and both we and our guests really enjoyed the evening!

    Beyond thrilled to have had our special day at the Quality Inn. Malissa and her team of wonders were constantly available for any help, and were so helpful with the set up and the procession of the evening.

    The perfect venue for a beautiful, elegant and professional atmosphere. Our wedding was absolutely flawless. Emails were quickly replied to. Meetings were organized, professional and thoughtful. Our vendors including the florist, decorator, cake and DJ were allowed to come the morning of to set up and prepare. Staff were polite, hard working and offered quality service. The food is absolutely outstanding. It is very true that guests remember what they were served for dinner-this is the place to choose if looking for fantastic choices & flavours. It is a Brides dream venue. At the end of the night you feel so thankful and happy. Malissa who is the Catering Coordinator took such good care our bridal party and guests-I could not thank her enough. Highly recommend!
