- NS Alters23/01/2024The location was absolutely stunningThe location was absolutely stunningCame here for my friend's wedding. He had a fantastic time and so did his bride. The location was absolutely stunning as we were surrounded on all sides by mountains. The ceremony was held on a cliffside patio that overlooked a massive mountain valley. We were shuttles up to the ski hill for the reception and parties the night away. The hotel was about what you'd expect: clean fluffy beds, bathroom, tv, kurig coffee machine... But overall, a great weekend getaway.Came here for my friend's wedding. He had a fantastic time and so did his bride.

From our initial inquiry Laura was professional, kind and prompt in her communication. She was very organized and took the time to meet with us in person in the months before our wedding while we were visiting from out of town. Like with any big event, there were a few hiccups with the planning process, but Laura worked hard to communicate with us and make sure that any issues were resolved...We had a great experience celebrating our wedding at the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort.
