Michelle & Tom - Stratus Winery

Niagara Wedding Planner

Modern meets Historic Niagara Winery Wedding

Michelle and Tom are one of those couples that you meet and you just know they are totally meant to be together.  They are natural and quirky and totally fun!  Their families have known each other for forever... so obviously this was a match made in heaven!  They met at a work event and were together for a long while before Tom popped the question during a trip to Belize.  

The ladies got ready at the lovely Peaks on Gate B&B.  They enjoyed a lovely and intimate First Look along the water in NOTL before their Wedding Party joined them for photos.  The guests were encouraged to arrive early for the ceremony and enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres by Yellow Pear before the ceremony.  The ceremony took place at such an original location... the Niagara Falls Museum.  The mixture of beautiful old stone walls mixed with the new architecture made for a perfect location for Michelle and Tom's Ceremony.  Guests were able to walk around the museum and learn all about the History of Niagara Falls.  Michelle's Uncle Jon officiated the ceremony for the couple.

After the ceremony, guests were taken to Stratus Winery via a Double Decker Bus.  The incredibly delicious meal by Treadwells had wine by Stratus perfectly paired and poured with each course.  Dessert was a delicious Doughnut table with an assortment of delicious doughnuts and doughnut holes.  After dinner... the Yellow Pear Food Truck arrived again for Late Night.

Michelle's mother surprised her with the most adorable surprise.  We had everyone surround the dance floor as she put her singing lessons to work and sang "My Girl" to Michelle and brought tears to everyones eyes and smiles to everyones faces!

Guests really experienced Niagara when attending Michelle and Tom's Wedding.  From the Museum, to the Wineries, to the locally sourced food and the wine pairings, they also received wine bottle openers as favours.
