The morning began at Queen’s Landing Hotel, where the air felt calm and full of anticipation. Anne-Marie got ready surrounded by her closest friends, sunlight spilling into the suite as laughter and music filled the room. The ceremony took place just steps away, framed by soft, romantic florals that brought a touch of modern femininity to the hotel’s timeless charm. Every detail reflected a vision that was elegant, effortless, and deeply personal.

From there, guests were welcomed to Stratus Winery, where design and emotion came together beautifully. Under the direction of Lindsay Plank Events, the space transformed into a modern, candlelit celebration that felt both refined and intimate. Long harvest tables encouraged conversation over glasses of Stratus wine. Candlelight glowed against clean architecture and soft florals, creating an atmosphere that felt more like a dinner party among friends than a formal reception.

For couples dreaming of a destination-style wedding that is only an hour away from Toronto, this day is proof of what is possible in Niagara wine country. Stratus offers the best of both worlds, with sophisticated design, incredible food and wine, and that feeling of being fully present with the people you love most.
