Wonderful Venue
Wedding Reception
We went through all the details at the rehearsal a couple days before the event. Everything went very smoothly and as planned on the wedding day. Buket also helped us during the planning stage by recommending the best commisioners in Vancouver. The other unforgettable gesture came from the food coordinator Ayşegül. She provided some canapes and drink - champaıgn and Perrier in the bridal room so that we can eat after the reception is over. We were busy with our guests, taking photos and we did not have any chance to eat the food. It was a very thoughtful gesture. We felt cared for and looked after. I can’t thank enough the team for making our special day extra special for us and for our guests. Two of our friends were inspired by the amazing service and they might show up in the near future.
