The Perfect Backdrop for Your Niagara Falls Wedding
It’s not called the Honeymoon Capital of the World for nothing! There’s a reason that Springtime sees so many Niagara Falls weddings being booked. The scenery is gorgeous; flowers are in full bloom, nature is ripe with lush greenery and trails, and horse-drawn carriage rides set the mood for the perfect Niagara Falls wedding romantic getaway.
There are so many places to choose from for your special day, it’s overwhelming when you think about it…but if you want the ultimate wedding experience, let Niagara Parks weddings do the planning for you with their beautiful gardens and venues. From an intimate gathering of 20 people to a gala event of up to 600 guests, the most magical wedding day begins in Niagara Falls. Here is a short list of potential ceremony and reception venues in Niagara Falls:

Looking for a little extra something? Imagine arriving at your destination wedding spot in a horse-drawn carriage, with the majestic Horseshoe Falls as the backdrop! This is available through Queen Victoria Park or the Botanical Gardens.

 Haven’t proposed yet? Do it on top of the Niagara Skywheel!
Just a couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting a recently married couple from New York that got engaged at the very peak of the Niagara Skywheel. She described it as the most beautiful moment of her life as the view is spectacular aboard the 10-minute, 175 foot giant structure overlooking the Niagara Falls. The Skywheel operator knew ahead of time what Jeff planned on doing for his future bride-to-be and he made sure that flowers were put in the enclosed climate-controlled gondola, so that when they entered the ride he was well on his way to make it a fairy-tale moment for the lucky lady. When the gondola stopped at the top overlooking the gorgeous surroundings, Jeff got down on one knee and proposed. Leading up to the proposal, he purchased the Clifton Hill Fun Pass and laid down clues in an envelope at each of the attractions on Clifton Hill that they frequented that were included in the Fun Pass. By the time they arrived she “suspected” what was about to occur, but never expected such a magical moment. What a great idea!

There are so many reasons to hold your wedding day in Niagara Falls, but accessibility is key when you think of your guests and how close in vicinity they are to the wedding location. The Comfort Inn Clifton Hill is only a 5 minute walk from the Niagara Falls and is easily accessible to all of the key wedding day venues that the Niagara Parks has to offer. The hotel is also known to be one of the top picks for Family Hotels in the Niagara Region, and was recently awarded the Travelers Choice award for this category on Trip Advisor. Look into this hotel for their fantastic packages, such as the build-a-package option and their competitive hotel rates, making it an affordable choice for your guests attending your wedding.

I leave this article by sharing a quote that Jeff included in his proposal to Caroline aboard the Niagara Skywheel:
“You know you are in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better then your dreams”. — Dr. Suess
