A Dream Wedding Come True

We had our wedding reception at the Fairmont Hotel on 7/27/24 and it was truly the best day ever. Everything about it was a dream - the Colonnade Room was a fairytale setting for dinner and dancing. We are still hearing from our friends and family about the food, ambiance, and service.

Kiera is AMAZING. She was the point person throughout the entire wedding planning process. She is responsive, flexible, patient, friendly, and just so, so easy to work with. All of the vendors we hired loved her too!

We highly recommend!

Would do it all over again if we could

We were truly obsessed with the Fairmont. Our experience here (particularly because of Kiera in events) was first class from the moment we toured the Fairmont through the end of our wedding night. The team was excellent to work with from Kiera to the waitstaff to the bartenders to the chef. Kiera was extremely responsive throughout the process with our questions and truly delivered the wedding of our dreams. I only wish we had more time at the Fairmont because it was top notch. Our guests raved as well about their experience in the hotel and at the event. I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again!

Unbelievable experience! Best wedding venue!

It’s hard to sum up how incredibly positive of an experience having our wedding at the Fairmont was, and in particular the experience of working with Kiera. Our wedding was an Indian multicultural and multi day wedding, and the Fairmont was the perfect venue to host the various celebrations. We were able to utilize different event spaces for each of our different events, and all of them were beautiful. A big concern we had going into wedding planning was food, since we were accommodating people with many different backgrounds/preferences and also dietary restrictions. The Fairmont absolutely blew it out of the water for our wedding day, our guests are still raving about the food from the weekend, and the Fairmont made the process of working with an external caterer for one other event seamless.
Overall, the Fairmont was incredibly accommodating to our various requests throughout the planning process, always doing everything possible to make our wedding day the special day we’d been dreaming of. Kiera was always patient with me and my never ending questions/requests, she is truly a rockstar!! I cannot recommend working with Kiera enough and hosting your event at the Fairmont.
