We have just the right balance of elegance and relaxation to host magical and intimate weddings that are both unique and special, customized to your specific preferences. Wedding Ceremonies For your wedding reception, The Hare’s open-air stone courtyard has a traditional European ambience that’s perfect for larger groups.

For a wine country wedding, our partnership with the Prince of Wales Hotel means you’ll be receiving a luxury dining experience including table settings and furniture for a supremely elegant event. At The Hare, we’re able to offer you the benefits of a hotel venue and all of its amenities but in a unique location, making it the perfect Niagara venue for your special day. Your Niagara-on-the-Lake Wedding. Historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, not far from Niagara Falls, is one of the most gorgeous regions in Ontario and all of Canada, making it an ideal region to look for wedding venues. At The Hare we’re available to host weddings in our beautiful, rustic winery, providing a distinct experience for up to 130 guests. We are partnered with Vintage Hotels, which allows us to provide full-service weddings in our amazing setting. Intimate Wedding Venue When you book your wedding with us, it will be completely closed off to the public, creating the perfect exclusive ambiance for an unforgettable wedding. With our winery’s natural beauty and unparalleled service, our unique wedding venue has the photogenic charm and intimate atmosphere for a perfect ceremony space and wedding reception.
Our photography collection includes the work of Josh Bellingham Photography, Ottawa Valley Photography, and Photosbycaleigh.
The Hare staff is responsible for setting up the chairs and tables, and this will be completed before 4pm. After 4pm, the Prince of Wales team will begin setting the tableware, and you may also start setting up your décor.
In some cases, chairs may be set up prior to 4pm, which may allow you to begin décor setup earlier as well.
All outdoor ceremony bookings include a designated indoor backup space in case of inclement weather. Please note that the specific backup room may vary depending on event logistics and availability.
