Smart casual: something you’d feel comfortable wearing out for a nice dinner. The Empress has a 'Strictly Prohibited' list which includes sporting or beachwear, flip-flops, shorts, tank tops, ball caps, and torn/scruffy jeans.
Please join us for a welcome dinner at the Fairmont Empress. We’re excited to kick off the weekend with everyone before the wedding day!

Saxe Point Park is a scenic oceanfront park with paved and gravel paths, nearby grassy areas, and beautiful views of the Juan de Fuca Strait and Olympic Mountains. Free parking is available but limited; wheelchair friendly walking routes include some gentle slopes, public washrooms are on site, and the waterfront setting can be breezy—comfortable shoes and an extra layer are recommended.
