Whistler B.C. April 4, 2018 – On March 21, Fairmont Chateau Whistler was awarded “Best Event Produced by an In-House Team at a Venue or Corporation” at Canadian Special Events Magazine’s annual Event Awards Gala. The Fairmont’s ‘All About Me’ women’s weekend got the national nod, beating out contenders WestJet and Calgary Stampede, among others, for the award.
The concept for ‘All About Me’, now in its third year, was the vision of Yasmin Haufschild, Fairmont Chateau Whistler’s Director of Special Events and Product Development, who also doubles as event host for the three-day affair. “In the world of special events, hotels are typically the venue or caterer only. Very rarely will a hotel produce an event from start to finish,” states Haufschild. “Not only was our Whistlerhotel team involved in every element of this program, it was particularly important to me, now more than ever, to design an experience that promotes women’s empowerment and self-care.”
The "All about Me" women's weekend retreat provides an opportunity for guests to realign their mind, body, and soul in a luxurious mountain resortsetting. This year’s retreat takes place October 12 – 14, 2018. Further information can be found on Fairmont.com.
Whistler-based Celebrate Events was recognized for “Best Wedding Over $75,000” for the Giesbrecht Gill Wedding, which took place on the Woodlands Terrace at Fairmont Chateau Whistler while “Most Creative Table/Centre Design” went to Vancouver’s Christopher J Design for Step into Spring, a collaboration with Fairmont Chateau Whistler and Rare Indigo.
