The church (St. Augustine's) has finally been confirmed so the next big thing we need to confirm is the reception venue. We've visited a few venues such as, Hotel Vancouver Fairmont, Renaissance, Terminal City Club, Coast Plaza Hotel and none of them are as professional as the Four Seasons. What a fabulous room. Fabulous hotel. Fabulous wedding coordinator. He knows exactly what he's doing. At the other places, they just showed us the room and said, "have any questions?" but this guy at the Four Seasons took time to chat with us about what we would like, what services are available at no charge and what hidden costs are. Loved it!! Here's a photo of the room:
Unlike the other rooms we've seen, this one is not a basic square/rectangle shape. It's got 3 entrances/exits and is a diamond shape goes diagonally. Also, how lovely that the dance floor isn't in the middle of the dining area. It is off to the side near the bar so dining will be much more enjoyable without this empty vast space in the middle of the floor. We also won't be having our head table at the forefront, as if we are preciding over the whole reception. Instead we'll have an oval shaped table in the middle of the dining area so no one is sitting in a line, but just like all the other guests. Who wants to just talk to the person to your left and right? BORING. This way too, I can turn around and talk to guests at a table behind us.
I also finally have my bridal party picked out (Jason is still deciding his):
Melissa is my MOH and Sandy and my cousin Jackie will be my bridesmaids!
We are making great progress here folks. After we book the reception venue, we don't have to worry about the nitty gritty till next year!!
