We had our reception at the Riverview room at the Shaw Conference Centre. The room was amazing and had a great view of the river valley. Our contact Mandy was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. And the food turned out fantastic. We had a number of guests comment on how delicious the food was and how much they liked our choice of venue.

Beautiful venue facing the river

We were so happy with our venue choice. They provided so much on site and made our planning much easier! Oksana was very patient and accommodating and was a delight to work with. Their food and staff were amazing and the venue itself was beautiful. We had the River View Room and it was perfect!
