We are honoured that you will be traveling all the way to Winnipeg to celebrate our wedding with us. We want you to have a fabulous time during your visit to our city. Summer is definitely the best time to be in Winnipeg! We hope this information helps you enjoy the city and, of course, our wedding. Please refer to this blog post as the big day gets closer, we will continue to update this post so that you have all the information you need.
The Hotel
You can stay anywhere you like, but we have established a special rate at the Clarion Hotel & Suites for our guests. Here's why...
- Location. The Clarion is located at 1445 Portage Avenue and is next door to Polo Park Mall and within walking distance of a variety of restaurants, such as Earls, Red Lobster, and Boston Pizza. It is very close to The Forks, Assiniboine Park, and our house - all places where events will be taking place before and after the wedding. The hotel is also a reasonable drive to Fort Whyte, where our wedding ceremony and reception is taking place.
- Economy. The Clarion offered one of the most affordable rates of all the hotels we looked at.
- Amenities. All hotel rooms have fridges and microwaves, internet access, and weekday newspapers. The hotel is attached to The Pancake House and has a wonderful spa onsite - Urban Oasis Mineral Spa - as well as a fitness centre, pool and water slide, and a lounge. There is also a daily airport shuttle from 7:30am to 10:30pm.
A special rate has been established for our wedding: $129.99/night plus taxes (double occupancy). For reservations please call the hotel directly at 1-855-216-6393.
When to Travel
If you are thinking of staying an extra couple of days we encourage you to come before the wedding weekend rather than staying afterwards. We ask this out of sheer selfishness since we'll be leaving on our honeymoon after brunch on Sunday, June 22nd and won't be able to spend time with you. We plan to have a few events throughout the week leading up to the wedding and would love you to be able to attend. We will provide more details as we get closer to June.
Pupusas in the Park ~ Wednesday, June 18th 2014 from 4:30pm to 8:30pm
Join us at Assiniboine Park for an evening of fresh air, family, friends, and of course, everyone's favourite Salvadorian dish...pupusas! Everyone is welcome. Bring a lawn chair. We'll be at site #3 on the west side of the park. The site has a shelter, so come rain or shine! Click here for a map.
Sunday Brunch
We have reserved the 2nd Floor Banquet Hall at The Current located within The Inn at the Forks for Sunday brunch following the wedding. Our out-of-town guests are invited to attend. Brunch begins at 11am.
