The Dr. Vibe Show™: The Pantages Hotel In Toronto
On July 31, 2013, we had the opportunity to attend a wedding open house at the Pantages Hotel. During the event, we had the opportunity to chat with Ragnar Pedersen (General Manager – Pantages and Cosmopolitan Hotels), Carrie Alexander (Director of Sales & Marketing – Pantages and Cosmopolitan Hotels) and Sheryl Hammond (Social Catering Sales Manager – Pantages and Cosmopolitan Hotels).
During our chat, they talked about:
– Their backgrounds
– How the industry has changed since they started in the hotel industry (Ragnar and Carrie)
– Why did Sheryl join the Pantages family and why did Pantages hire her
– What makes Pantages a great place for a wedding
– The story behind the success of the wedding open house
– Areas of opportunity for Pantages in the future
– How did Sheryl get into the wedding planning market
– The biggest challenge in the hotel industry in Toronto
– some of the great features of the Pantages and Cosmopolitan hotels
– What keeps Carrie at the hotel after being there for ten years
– The future for the hotel
– How and why men are getting more involved in wedding planning (Sheryl)
– The questions that Sheryl asks potential clients
– How social media has changed the Pantages and the wedding planning business
We would like to thank Ragnar, Carrie and Sheryl for taking the time to share with us.
