About this episode

Alison McGill interviews Merina Chandra about the unique wedding experiences at Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel.

Vancouver's Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel is a rare gem of a property that sets a beautiful stage for romance. The multi-award-winning hotel is all about modern luxury and is one of the best spots in the city to say 'I do' offering a host of incredible event spaces (with sweeping views of Coal Harbour and the North Shore Mountains) to host events both intimate and grand in scope. On this show Alison chats with Merina Chandra, director of weddings and special events at Fairmont Pacific Rim about the property and what makes it such a dream destination for weddings of all sizes (up to 400 guests!) and styles. "No two weddings are a like at this property," Merina shares. "Couples today are really looking for connection and personalization and this is one of my favourite things about my job." Merina and Alison chat about what celebrations at Fairmont Pacific Rim look like in 2026, why great food and drink is non-negotiable and some savvy insider tips on how to smartly spend your wedding budget.
