The Quaaout Lodge, from the moment we started correspondence to the minute we checked out, upheld a level of service and professionalism rarely seen in the service industry today. The Wedding and events Coordinator, Gillian Dent, ensured a seamless and stress free day, taking a massive weight off my shoulders. Her knowledge of the industry as well as the Lodge made planning our special day a walk in the park (or rather, a walk in their beautiful gardens).
As many know, planning any large outdoor event comes with it s challenges; primarily, weather. Staff of the lodge ensured that should worst come to worst, we had an airtight back up plan to move the wedding to an inside venue at the drop of a hat. And sure enough, it poured rain on our day. Not just a light sprinkle, no. A torrential down pour. I had my heart set on an outdoor wedding, and staff were 100% committed to making sure this bride got exactly what she wanted on her special day. Staff were not only willing to get soaked to the bone changing the linens multiple times, but also did not bat an eye when the wind knocked over and shattered several glasses. They cleaned up the glass and replaced them with new ones and also hung all the bunting without so much as a frown.
Sales Manager, Michael Collins, was ready to jump in to action at a moment s notice on the day of and fulfill any and all of our needs.
However, what are staff without a great venue? The Quaaout lodge offers a stunning and serene view of the Little Shushwap, with a long, sandy beach and gorgeous gardens. The lodge itself is made of deep and warm woods and beautiful stone. It was the perfect location to tie the knot. Our guests ranted and raved about the lavish and clean rooms as well as the welcoming and polite front desk staff that welcomed our wary travelers to the lodge. Compliment after compliment rolled in about the wait staff during dinner and the dancing bartenders were a huge hit with our party guests. Personally, my husband and I, thoroughly enjoyed the honeymoon suite champagne.
As if everything else wasn t perfect enough, the food was to die for. Everyone, my husband and I included, were enamored with the unique and mouth-watering cuisine. From our family style dinner (which included a fresh caught wild game stew-yum!) to S mores on the beach to brunch the next morning, no one left hungry or disappointed. We have Bonnie to thank for that. Her expertise ensured everyone went to bed with full and happy bellies. Speaking of the s mores, the staff member who cleaned up the beach after our late night bonfire was incredibly sweet and let us borrow his wagon to get all our blankets back up to the rooms. What a life saver after a long and busy day.
