Absolutely amazing!

We had our ceremony and reception at the Grand Olympia and we are so happy with how it all turned out. Jenn and Caela were absolutely pneunomial when it came to planning our day. Their were both so quick to answer any questions we had and provided us with excellent service. The both made sure our wedding day went smoothly and there were no delays. The staff at the Grand Olympia did a fantastic job with setting up our venue and making sure everything was in order. We had Joy Johnson as our officiant and she was absolutely fantastic! She was there for us since day one to make sure we had everything in order for our ceremony and she made it memorable. Paul Lemieux was our DJ for our ceremony and reception and he was fantastic! he played great music throughout the night and always had everyone on the dance floor! Thank you Grand Olympia for the most unforgettable day!

Amazing Venue

Lovely venue. They made our wedding dreams come true. The staff were amazing to work with and so flexible in accommodating our vision for our wedding. We had our ceremony outdoors and it was perfect. The wedding officiant and the DJ were contracted by the venue and were both phenomenal. Our guests still speak about the amazing food they were served as part of the Italian Package that we ordered. The alcohol was flowing all night, top quality, not watered down at all.

The grand Olympia

They are horrible with correspondence. If you need to communicate with them, your best bet is to call the receptionist and speak to Raz. Caela was extremely hard to get a hold of the entire time planning with her, she is great in person, but not over email or text message she will not respond or call you back.

However, all the concerns I did raise were addressed and prevented on the wedding day which was the best service from there I got the entire time planning my wedding, as they were able to accommodate my cake not showing up by running out and getting a cake and covering the cost.

Not impressed,

My daughters wedding Megan Sampson Nov 5th was here and we had a great time as it was family and friends that made the day. Hall was overall very nice as they were updated however wasnt sure why her rooms were changed as she was suppose to be in the other hall which seemed bigger and we woudlnt have been so cramped. Food was ok, roast beef was dry and overcooked, service was very slow way to much time between courses and for a table of 14 we should have been given 14 rolls not 8, that is common sense. Clean up went slow and the guy was asking us to get up from our seat so he could go by the wall instead of going around.
There should have been to servers at the bar to start as the line up was long and took awhile. They had no glasses at one point when I went up for a drink, this is unacceptable and the guy poured the ice into the ice machine just as my daughter and son in-law were giving their speech as it was very loud and disruptive . The bar tender would also not give a glass of wine to our friends and said the servers should have wine on the tables. There was 2 bottles at the beginning of the night however once drank you should be able to get a glass of wine from the bar. Bar tender seemed pissy and ended up handing out bottles of wine, not a glass a bottle. Bathrooms were awful at the end of the night, you would think someone would tidy them up during the night as there was 2 weddings going on with one shared bathroom.

Very disappointed in the service and attitude from workers. It is nice you are renovating and the rooms are nicer but if the food doesn't improve and the service I would not recommend your venue. I feel my daughter and husband should be compensated but not sure that is going to happen.

Amazing Experience!!!

We are SO HAPPY with our decision to choose The Grand Olympia for our wedding venue! The Grand Olympia is organized and made our lives much easier planning a wedding! We live in Edmonton and got married in Hamilton, thanks to The Grand Olympia this was such an easy thing to do! We were so lucky to meet and to work with Suzanne! She was beyond helpful, always kind and so quick to respond to all of our questions. She made the experience fun and stress-free!!! The night of the wedding we felt completely taken care of by their staff. Everyone was accommodating, the food was delicious (and there was tons of it!), the limo driver was great, the DJ kept the party going, we could go on and on! Fantastic venue run by pretty amazing people!!!! We would 100% recommend!!!
