  • Ribbon Cutting Request Form

    Planning a celebration? We'd love to be a part of it! We'd like to help your business celebrate a Grand Opening, Ribbon Cutting, or Groundbreaking!

  • As you prepare for your special event, here are some guidelines to keep in mind:

    • Your company must be a member of the Greater Vancouver Chamber to access our tools - Please take a couple of minutes to fill out four short questions below and we will send you the tip sheets and info on borrowing the scissors
    • If you would like a Chamber representative to attend, this service is operated on a "first come first served" basis with a limited amount of celebration slots available each week - the farther out you can plan, the more choices you will have. And you must provide at least 14 days notice for this (trust us ~ planning a good event requires ample time and thought!)
    • After you answer the following questions, a Chamber representative will contact you within a couple of business days to discuss your needs and what options are available.
  • Format: (000) 000-0000.
  • Is your company or organization a Member of the Greater Vancouver Chamber?

  •  Not a member yet? Not a problem!

    Help us promote your event!

  • Tell us what we're celebrating!
    We'll create the event listing, so you don't need to write polished marketing copy. Instead, give us the details that will help us tell the story of your Ribbon Cutting.

    Please include:

    • What milestone are we recognizing? Grand Opening, new location, expansion, anniversary, new ownership, rebrand, or another achievement?
    • What's new or noteworthy? Tell us what has changed, grown, opened, or makes this moment significant.
    • What should guests expect? Tours, demonstrations, refreshments, giveaways, special guests, promotions, or other activities?
    • What does your business do? Give us a brief, plain-language description in 1–2 sentences.
    • Anything guests need to know? Parking instructions, where to enter, RSVP requirements, or other helpful details.

    Specific details are much more helpful than general marketing language. We'll turn the information you provide into the event announcement!
