I gathered over 70 quotes from properties in Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Mexico, Las Vegas, LA and New York. We separately toured over 20 of these properties and decided on the Fairmont Olympic as the clear winner based on package price, customer service, venue feel / style, location, reputation and elegance. I started planning the wedding from Las Vegas 1.25 years in advance and I was in contact on a weekly and daily bases with Brenna (my venue manager) from the time we signed the contract up until the wedding day. Brenna delivered the most outstanding customer service I've ever experienced in my life - and I've done a lot of exciting high end things. Even when I was fussing over details and confused about pricing and a less-nice bride, Brenna was kind and helpful in every way. There were only tiny hiccups along the way and the wedding day was the most perfect experience I've ever had. I would do it all again in the exact same way if I could. I had about a million details surrounding how I was styling the wedding. I brought in my own charger, linens, chair covers, elaborate decore, a cake cutting sword, a special dance, outfit changes and more. Brenna handled all of my millions of questions with professionalism and ease, as well as executed every detail with perfection. My wedding guests are sending me thank you cards / emails telling me how honored they are to have been invited to such a elegant / luxury event. The Fairmont delivered amazing food and accommodated a second tasting for me (which I paid for) so I could further define the perfect menu. Brenna did everything in her power to save us money when the opportunity arose - which was much appreciated and very unexpected. All the staff, from the accounting department to the executive chef were very easy to get ahold of and always proactive in accommodating my needs / requests. The cake was the perfect replication of the cake image I provided / wanted - which tasted and looked amazing. The suite we were given for our total stay was literally out of this world. It was the ideal place for 7 bridesmaids, video, photo crew, moms and others to dwell comfortably on the most epic day of my life. I would recommend the Fairmont Olympic to anyone looking for an amazing venue / wedding experience.

but due to unfortunate timing restrictions for another venue I did not pursue. I will say my fiancé rallied for this venue and was disappointed it didn't work out, through no fault of Fairmont's.

decoration at all because every wall and ceiling has beautiful detail work. With in the Hotel, we had the ceremony at one site and the reception at the ballroom. The whole event was very downtown elegant and sophisticated and also a lot of fun since we had a live band.;Make sure the small details that are important to you, are written down and communicated to the planner/manager. These are the things that can be overlooked if not over-communicated.

les. It was a worry free venue. Everything was perfect. Working with the staff at the Fairmont was a pleasure, they were very professional and easy to work with.
