The Most Magical Day

Where to even begin - our wedding day was a complete dream and so much credit goes to Andrew Hoge and his team at the Fairmont Olympic. From introduction to execution, no detail was overlooked. Andrew thought of everything, was quick to respond, and made our day seamless and beautiful. The Garden Room was the perfect venue for the reception we had envisioned and it truly came alive with the help of so many. The food was exceptional and everyone commented on how delicious everything was. The staff was friendly and everyone felt so well taken care of. I wish we could do it all over again, but trust me you don't need to look anywhere else - the Fairmont will give you everything you want and more. Thank you Andrew and Team, we are so grateful for everything you did to make our day so special. Xo, The Smiths

The Fairmont Olympic made everything so perfect on our wedding day! The hotel was as gorgeous as we'd hoped, the food was phenomenal and the cake was divine. We heard nothing but great things from our guests about the staff, from the banquet team to the valet to the bellmen, all of them were amazing. We felt pampered and taken care of from the moment we stepped foot in the hotel. The staff thought of everything, down to the smallest detail, and I'm happy to recommend this venue and hotel to anyone and everyone that will listen!

Had I done this review 2 months before the wedding, I wouldn't have given it a 5 as there was a change in staff. But the new hire Dana and her boss, the wedding coordinators really pulled off the wedding wonderfully in just 2 months. It was a beautiful day and everything went smoothly. The food, cake, and service was fantastic, and the suite at night was to die for. The best part about the Fairmont is that everything is included from the food to the cake to the linens to the tableware to the service, plus you have a day of wedding coordinator; the only extra thing we had to rent was chair covers. If you are looking for an elegant place with not a lot of extras, definitely check out the Fairmont.

Wow! I loved this place. There is nothing better then the old world charm of this ballroom. In fact it is called the Spanish ballroom. It is so beautiful adorned with gold and the chandeliers are so beautiful. Rented Elegance came and draped the ceiling all around the chandeliers and it was something you would see out of a magazine. I am going to submit my wedding to a magazine because it was just breathtaking. We had back light which made the room just glow with an amber flare. The food was so good. Everything just melted in your mouth and the displays were really brilliantly done. All of my guests were coming in from out of town so I needed a place that could accommodate everyone. I new this was the perfect location. It was in walking distance from all the major upscale stores so I knew my guests would be very happy. Most of them are from New York and enjoy walking everywhere anyway. My wedding day was perfect. The only downside was the rooms felt a little run down which I didn't expect from such a high class place. Some of the paint was chipped on the walls and furniture, just looked a little worn. I think they should remodel the rooms as they were a little small too. The other issue was the valet. They are way way too slow. Some of my guests did rent cars and they had to wait about 30 minutes to get their car. That is just too long. Maybe they need to hire more valets, I am just not sure. But that aside it was perfect and I highly recommend it.
