DECOR POLICY
Our staff are focused on preparing the space for an impeccable meal service and are therefore unable to set up décor.
All décor needs (assembling centerpieces, unpacking décor, putting out place cards according to a seating plan, etc.) must be left in the hands of your Wedding Coordinator or friends & family. Special Event Rentals Banff is a local company that aids with set up should more extensive assistance be required.
Hello Sunshine uses tea light candles on all tables as part of the regular dinner set up. Guests are permitted to bring in additional candles for décor as long as the flame is contained within a votive.
We have very limited storage available at the restaurant, therefore we are not able to store décor at the restaurant in advance of the scheduled access time or after the event.
WEDDING CAKES
Hello Sunshine does not make wedding cakes, however there are many exceptional bakers within the Bow Valley and we would be happy to make local recommendations for a professional wedding cake should you require one.
There is a $3.50/person cake cutting fee to cut, plate, and serve the cake to your guests. There is no charge for a small ceremonial cake if you choose to cut and plate the cake yourselves (we will provide cutlery and plates). There is no charge for cupcakes and clients are responsible for the set up of a cupcake station.
Cakes may be delivered and stored at the restaurant the day of the event. Please ensure the cake is packed safely and labeled with your reservation name & details (for example: Smith Wedding, June 15th, Hello Sunshine, Main Dining Room).
Please note, by bringing your own wedding cake, the client assumes full responsibility for the event guests. Hello Sunshine will not be held liable for any allergic reaction resulting from the consumption of cake, frosting or fillings.
Hello Sunshine is a nut free venue. Cakes with nuts are not permitted.
DO YOU HAVE A PREFERRED LIST OF VENDORS IN BANFF?
We work with many amazing florists, stylists, bakers and photographers in the Bow Valley. Please speak with your Sales Manager for our favourite local vendors.
MAY WE HOLD OUR WEDDING CEREMONY AT THE RESTAURANT?
Hello Sunshine is first and foremost a dining room and we are therefore limited in terms of ceremony space. On occasion, and only with a private venue booking of the entire restaurant, we may be able to host your ceremony. Please note we are not able to remove all the tables from the dining room and therefore cannot set up a traditional ceremony space with rows of chairs.
IS THERE A DANCEFLOOR?
For a private venue rental, there is not a dedicated dance floor, however tables can be moved after dinner service to allow for dancing (which we highly encourage!).
