was honoured to be invited to attend a june wedding here and it was the loveliest setting for an…read moreoutdoor celebration. the weather showed up, warm sun, a soft breeze, and the ceremony took place near the lavender fields, which made for a beautiful, calming backdrop (though sadly, i couldn't smell the lavender). there was a shaded pathway lined with billowing lavender organza draped overhead, gently fluttering in the breeze. it added such a whimsical, romantic feel, like walking through a dreamy lavender cloud. the property itself is a mix of gravel and grass, rustic and charming, though a little tricky in heels (we were basically aerating the lawn as we walked). still, there's something about the uneven ground and laid back setting that adds to the casual elegance. a barn on site served as 'behind the scenes' storage, fitting the countryside vibe perfectly. there were also a couple of spacious washrooms available, which is always appreciated at outdoor events. details like the fish pond, cinderella carriage, pergola, and lavender fields offered plenty of opportunities for beautiful, intimate photos throughout the day. overall, a relaxed and picturesque venue that suited this elegant summer wedding beautifully. it felt intimate, personal, and full of charm, a truly memorable place to say "i do."

I love this lavender farm, second time here. They have 4 different kinds of lavenders ranging from…read moredifferent hues of blue purple and height. There's a small area for kids to play and lots of running room for kids. The market however is only available in weekends at the moment. That being said there is a small gift shop at the ticket booth. They also have small cups of ice cream that are available for purchase as well. PRO TIP: go on a weekday to avoid large crowds

The Richmond City Hall building opened in 2000…read more It was designed with all the 'bells & whistles' of that time - exciting technology - efficiency & environmentally themed - all of which still stand the test of time - 20 years later. I've been inside a few times to pay my utility bills & it's because of that, that I've never thought - you know what while I'm giving away my money, I think I'll write a review & take some pics to share with everyone! How cool huh = not!! LMAO! Of course now with Coronavirus wrecking havoc on the world - everyone's priorities & lifestyle has changed! I've taken the time to smell the roses as they say & appreciate the finer things in life - like being outdoors more & breathing oh my gosh - fresh air!!! Whoa amazing! Once life is semi back to normal I'll go back & take interior pics - hopefully before those city officials demand more money from me!!! For now please enjoy these pics I've taken of the surrounding area outside city hall! By the way if you like, download the city hall app, then hold your cell up close to your nose & gently rub your screen with your index finger. You might begin to smell the sweet aphrodisiac scent emanating from these beautiful red flowers!!! Get outta here! Bye!

Hotel stay was very good. The hotel exterior is no way comparable to the inside. Beautiful lobby…read moreand very friendly staff. The rooms are very nice and clean. The bed was comfortable. The room I stayed in had a balcony over looking the park behind the hotel. Parking is very secure. I wasn't sure where it was because behind the hotel ended up at the garbage bins but the parking was underground secured by a roll up gate. My vehicle was very secure. Breakfast is cooked eggs with other items available. It's also close to the skytrain stain.

I attended an engagement at this venue and was very impressed. The venue was so beautiful that each…read morecorner involved a mini photo-shoot! My only con about this venue is for the ladies in heels. We were seated outside and when we were asked to stand, a few of us had our heels stuck in the cracks. It was more of the planners fault on arranging chairs but still something I thought to point out.

I attended a friend's wedding reception at this venue. The wood paneling and subtly-nautical-themed…read moredecor was nice. The sunset must be beautiful, as it would be visible beyond the river that this is located on, but it was winter, and since I was of the "other friends" group that arrived after dinner, it was dark already. The space itself wasn't too large. I am guessing 100 or less for standing/dancing, and less for sit-down meals. The path leading up to the hall is as to be expected of a nautical place (deck or metal with holes), but it wasn't too difficult to navigate with heeled shoes. I'm not sure if the catering was from here or hired separately, but the cheesecake bites were good! Not too sweet nor too heavy.

The food was pretty good for a buffet. Hand made Perogies and Cabbage rolls . Roast beef and lots of veggies!. I quite enjoyed myself. There is also Friday Family suppers. "Open to the public at the Ukrainian Centre on the third Friday of every month except July, August and December." as indicated on their site. They also wrote " Enjoy perennial Ukrainian favourites of borscht, pyrohy (perogies), kobassa (Ukrainian garlic sausage), holubtsi (cabbage rolls) and various chef's specials. Friendly family setting with budget conscious prices." You can find more information at this web link here: http://www.ivanfranko.ca/itoolkit.asp?pg=FRIDAY_NIGHT_FAMILY I know that the perogies aren't as good as Brian B's grandmothers, but they certainly come close. And if you have a Saturday free and end up in Richmond, C'mon by for a visit and chek out the Saturday Sales.

Neat little old school farm in the middle of nowhere Richmond…read more Parking is available in a small lot a short walk away. There are some spots along Dyke Road. Try not to drive into the ditch for these spots. The farm buildings have been restored, and actually look pretty cool. There's a house, a barn, and a bunch of rusty old farm equipment. There is also a large community garden, and a bee section at the far end. Plenty of green space and paths to walk around too. Can't really comment on the high tea here but apparently it's available. Pretty neat to visit if one hasn't seen any 1800s buildings before. 1-2 hours is enough.

And I would recommend coming in gym clothes because at the end of this you will be sweaty. They give you a brief debriefing and there are 3 or 4 different games you get to play.

And would recommend as a team building exercise!

They outright banned us just for giving feedback!!!!…read more My friends and I have been visiting this facility regularly since it reopened, and we always had unique experiences. But every time, different people had issues with the equipment or the staff, who couldn't explain the games properly. So, we kept giving them feedback. After some time, when nothing improved and the staff didn't take any responsibility, one of our friends spoke to the manager directly and left a negative review, hoping things would get better. But today, when we tried to book another session, we were shocked to find out they banned him and a few other players who weren't happy with the service :|

We had stayed in downtown Vancouver for 5 nights at the Hyatt Regency but we wanted to stay in…read moreanother part of town to experience what Richmond was like. I knew that this hotel wouldn't be as nice as our stay at the Hyatt, but it was quite the downgrade. The room we were given was incredibly tiny with only a double sized bed. It was also very dark and it just felt dirty overall. The nice part of our room is that they gave us a room on the top floor that gave us access to a private rooftop balcony but it's not enough to give it any additional stars since the balcony was pretty dirty as well. I think the best part of our stay was that it's near the shopping mall as well as near the metro. Also, since this was our last night in the Vancouver area, we used their free shuttle to get to the airport which is very close by. However, it does get crowded on the shuttle since they service 3 hotels in total, but fortunately we didn't have to wait and got on our shuttle. I personally wouldn't stay here again. However, I have to say that the staff was nice as well so that's also a plus. But not worth all the other negative things with this hotel.

We've stayed at this hotel a few times. We usually stay in a junior suite, which has two beds in…read moretwo separate rooms connected by a bathroom. Parking is around $20-21 per night. My children enjoy getting snacks and drinks from the M Club lounge (for Bonvoy members with Platinum status and higher), but there is no breakfast here. The hotel is conveniently located in the center of Richmond, within walking distance of many restaurants and Richmond Centre mall. One drawback is that the swimming pool and hot tub are outdoors, which isn't ideal during the cooler seasons. That's when I switch back to booking the Westin Richmond, when my children wants to swim.
