This will be determined approximately 72 hours prior to the wedding, as it depends on other functions that are booked in the banquet room prior to your event. If the banquet room has not been rented to another group then you will be able to set up/decorate 1 day prior to your wedding. If the room is rented the day/evening before, you will be able to have access the room the morning of your event by 8:00am.
Kamloops Convention Centre will provide and set up round tables with 6-10 banquet chairs per table; white linen tablecloths, and white or burgundy napkins; china, cutlery & glassware is set on the tables by our staff.
We will provide and set up these tables with white linen tablecloths. We will also supply a DJ table. If you choose to have these tables decorated, you must undertake this yourself.
Contained flame candles are allowed (t-lites & votive) on guest tables. Candles cannot be in Candelabras or in a situation where an open flame has the possibility to start a fire.
These are the responsibility of the wedding party to provide, set up and take down. Take down must take place the night of your event. Kamloops Convention Centre is not responsible for anything left in the room. A $500.00 clean up fee may be added to the invoice in a case when items are left behind.
