About Riviera Plaza & Conference Centre, Vernon, BC
Conferences, weddings and awards nights need something an ordinary hotel room cannot provide, which is a large space with power, chairs and somewhere to feed everyone. Riviera Plaza and Conference Centre at 4801 27 Street in Vernon puts guest rooms and that kind of space in one building, and shares its address with one other business.
Booking an event is a different conversation from booking a bed. Ask about the capacity of each room in the layout you actually need, since a space that comfortably seats a full room for a theatre style presentation seats far fewer once you add round tables and a dance floor. Ask what audio visual equipment comes with the room and what is rented, how catering is handled, when you can get in to set up, and what happens to the room between sessions. For guests, ask about a block of rooms held under one name and about the cutoff date on that block. Bus and trailer parking is worth confirming early rather than on the morning of the event.
Vernon suits this sort of gathering because it is the government, health care and shopping hub for the whole North Okanagan, so a meeting held here saves the region a drive down the valley. Visitors from farther afield tend to build a day around it, with Kalamalka Lake to the east and the colours it turns through the summer, the beaches out at Okanagan Landing, and the ski hill on the skyline through the winter. Call 250-542-3321 or work through rivieraplazavernon.com to put a date on hold, and get the arrangements in writing once they are settled.
