A grand evening reception took place at THE
FAIRMONT WATERFRONT. Here too, cocktails
were served in the foyer which was decorated
with custom seating areas. Mirrored trays
displayed the escort cards. The entrances to
the ballroom were draped in luxurious, dark
grey velvet.
Upon arrival to the hotel, guests with children
dropped off the littlest guests at an adjacent

ballroom while the parents went to the
evening performance and dinner. The
children were supervised by hired nannies

exquisite linens were designed to deliver

All of the tables (except for the head table) sat on custom-built, shiny gloss white risers,
providing a clear view to the focal area of the room—a custom-built stage. To ensure
unobstructed views of the stage, each table featured low but dramatic floral arrangements
surrounded by small votive candles as a centrepiece.
