Wedding spaces and event details

The Empire Ballroom is the largest wedding room listed on the official capacity table, at 334 square metres with banquet seating for up to 250. Fairmont describes it as a pillar-free ballroom with a decorative 21-foot ceiling and private terrace. The Wedgwood Room has a domed ceiling, private terrace and river-valley views, with a listed banquet capacity of 110.

For smaller receptions, the official table lists the Drawing Room and Jasper Room at up to 60 banquet guests each, while the Parlour is listed for up to 20. The garden gazebo is another documented setting. Final capacity depends on the selected layout and event requirements, so couples should confirm the applicable setup directly with the hotel.

• Empire Ballroom: listed banquet capacity up to 250
• Wedgwood Room: listed banquet capacity up to 110
• Drawing Room and Jasper Room: listed banquet capacity up to 60 each
• Parlour: listed banquet capacity up to 20
• Garden gazebo available as an outdoor setting

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed feature is the selection of event settings within one property: ballrooms, smaller heritage-style rooms and outdoor gardens. The official wedding page also documents natural light, river-valley views in selected spaces, on-site catering and wedding-team support. Hotel rooms and suites provide an on-site accommodation option for couples and guests.

A practical limitation is that published capacity information does not establish date availability, a suitable floor plan, current menu options or vendor arrangements for an individual event. The official wedding page also does not publish a complete inclusions list or wedding package prices. Request a written proposal tailored to the planned guest count and schedule.

• Confirmed feature: indoor and outdoor wedding settings
• Confirmed feature: on-site catering and planning support
• Confirmed feature: guest accommodation at the hotel
• Confirm availability, inclusions, layouts and vendor arrangements directly
