9. The Rustic Cabin, Bonfield (from USD 98)
It might be rustic on the outside, but the interiors are all warm and cozy. While some people would love nothing more than to plan a large, fancy wedding, others would plan something small or much rather elope. This rental, surrounded by 83 ac (34 ha) of pure country living, could be the setting for a wedding adventure photoshoot or a ceremony. There are a couple of glamping options on the estate that can be booked together with the cabin for the exclusive use of the property.
Guests should bring bottled water, as the estate only provides well water and features a rain-water-supplied outdoor shower.
Standout features: Off-grid venue with tranquil pond

10. Arden's Castle by the Falls, Niagara Falls (from USD 764)
This castle home is an excellent place to host your wedding. Get in touch with the host if you are looking to host a small wedding, with the venue fee including event tents. While there are several excellent options available for events, it is best to visit the property once before finalizing details.
Past weddings at the property have used the front patio for the ceremony and reception. However, couples can switch it up by hosting an event in the landscaped gardens or even an informal luncheon using the barbecue grill. Moreover, the pergola is the perfect setting for the bar.
Standout features: Nearby Niagara Falls, city skyline view, and a charming deck for events
Testimonial: “Perfect home for a large group, we flew in for a family wedding in Niagara and found the home to be a great place to hang out before and after the wedding.” - Laurie
