Wedding Bells

Every bride's idea of a fun bachelorette party is different—maybe you'd rather do afternoon tea or a day at the spa, while party girls would rather dance the night away. Whatever's on the agenda, we've selected our favourite places to have fun with the girls across Canada.

1. Vancouver, British Columbia

Best Afternoon Tea: The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver (fairmont.com)
Offered daily, it's an elegant afternoon with the girls complete with finger sandwiches, pastries, scones and strawberries. You can even upgrade to a champagne tea if you're looking for a twist on the tradition.

Best Spa: Solarice Vancouver (solarice.com)
With three locations in both Vancouver and Whistler, their downtown Vancouver spot recently opened a Wellness Lounge to allow guests to experience multiple spa treatments in a cocktail lounge atmosphere. Their staff will also help arrange catering or snacks to complete your experience.

Best Dining: Blue Water Cafe & Raw Bar (bluewatercafe.net)
Located in historic Yaletown, this is your dining destination if seafood is a favourite. Sushi lovers will salivate over the raw bar prepared with fresh local ingredients. They also easily accommodate parties and can even book you into a private room.  

Best Lounge: Opus Bar (opusbar.ca)
A trendy lounge and bar to go to if you want to see and be seen amid a style-conscious crowd. With a huge cocktail menu, including appetizers, it's a hot spot to start the night off.

Best Dance Club: Caprice Night Club (capricenightclub.com)
Spinning Top 40 hits and favourites from the ’80s on, this nightclub has two levels and shares its space with a lounge. Stagettes are more than welcome and you can even book a package including a limo, chocolate fondue, champagne and complimentary cover.
