Chocolate Lake Hotel Weddings

I wanted to take this time to let you know how amazing everything was on our big day.

Tara and I both agree that things couldn’t have gone any better. The venue was unbelievable for pictures, for dancing, for dinner, and for hosting guests. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful — and not just for the things expected of them, they went above and beyond and helped us fine tune all the little details that made our day incredible. The service staff during dinner were on cue and did a great job with everything. Those who were there for both the set up on Thurs/Fri and the dinner deserve some extra credit and a huge THANK YOU because without them things wouldn’t have moved so smoothly. I wish I remembered the names because they were great. We had so many people tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and Tara and I couldn’t have had a better day.

Finally, we would both like to thank you personally. You were fantastic with helping us (and putting up with us) over the past few months. Everything we needed, you were on it; any questions we had, you answered promptly. You are a ROCK STAR and make sure you forward this message to your boss because they need to know how lucky they are to have someone like you in this position.

We hope your hotel enjoyed having us for the wedding as much as we enjoyed being your guests. It was a lot of fun and I’m sure you made a great impression on a lot of people, especially us. Be assured that we will recommend BEST WESTERN PLUS Chocolate Lake to anyone and everyone we get the chance to.

All the best and THANK YOU!

I'm still running into people who were at the wedding that couldn't say enough good things about the food. I think the big thing is that people who I would NEVER expect to be open to the slightly ambitious all vegan wedding, all really enjoyed the food.

The taco bar specifically was the best ... I think that could even be a good trick for non-vegan weddings, I've heard only great things across the board about the tacos. 

The next biggest hit were the Samosas. I probably ate about 17 of those myself.

The bruschetta and mushroom caps also had a good number of fans... I didn't think they would go over as well as they did. Jennie told me they would. She was right, I was wrong, and I am still hearing about it.

Everything was wonderful; our very special guest room, the reception venue with all the windows, the food presentation and quality and staffing for the reception, and the ease with which you handled the long-distance preparations. The wedding dinner was exceptional as well.

We could not have been more pleased or satisfied. The weather even co-operated for an outside ceremony and photography.

The complimentary rooms and the special wedding guest-room rates were a lovely bonus.

Guests from Texas and Alberta alike voiced compliments as to BEST WESTERN Chocolate Lake Hotel being “a gem in the heart of a city.”

We appreciate all that was done for us.
