Winner
Fairmont Palliser Crystal Ballroom & Oval Room
The name alone conjures up images of royal fêtes and glittering gowns, though this classic room, which can accommodate up to 320 guests, is just as likely to host those clad in rancher’s attire. Even so, the historic and ornate space, recently restored to its original glamour, remains one of the most-coveted and beloved spots to celebrate a wedding in high style, with a foyer area, 13 crystal chandeliers hanging from a gilded ceiling, full-length windows hung with luxe draperies and a fireplace to keep things cozy.
