Sun Peaks Grand celebrates three 2026 Best of Kamloops awards, recognizing its team for wedding planning, event design and an exceptional venue.
Celebrating Local Recognition
There's something especially meaningful about being recognized by the community closest to home.
Sun Peaks Grand Hotel & Conference Centre is thrilled to have picked up three honours in the 2026 Best of Kamloops awards, voted on by the people right here in Kamloops who've stayed, celebrated and planned events with us.
The hotel and its team took home:
- Silver - Best Event Planner/Designer: Nikki Fredrikson
- Bronze - Best Wedding Planner: Nikki Fredrikson
- Bronze - Best Wedding Venue: Sun Peaks Grand Hotel & Conference Centre
Behind every event, from mountaintop weddings to conferences, is a team that gets the details right, the kind of things guests remember long after the day itself is over.
“Being part of a couple’s wedding journey is something I never take for granted, and celebrating alongside so many incredible people is the best part of what I do,” said Nikki Gordon, Wedding and Events Sales Manager at Sun Peaks Grand. “Thank you to every couple who trusted me and the Sun Peaks Grand team with your weddings and celebrations, and to everyone who voted and supported us. Your support truly means the world, and I’m honoured to be part of so many unforgettable moments and this amazing community.”
The recognition doesn't stop at the hotel doors. Sun Peaks Resort also picked up two Gold awards this year:
- Gold - Best Resort: Sun Peaks Resort
- Gold - Best Tourist Attraction Outside City Limits: Sun Peaks Resort
Together, these five honours make it clear why people keep coming back to Sun Peaks. And the Grand Hotel is a big reason why.
The Best of Kamloops awards are decided entirely by community nominations and votes, not a judging panel, which is exactly why this recognition means so much to us. We're proud to be part of this region, and grateful every day for the support of our local community!
To our guests and the Sun Peaks community: thank you for your support and your votes.
