10. Castle by the Falls, Niagara Falls (from USD 764)
The triple-story castle home is a great choice to stay in as well as host the wedding of your dreams. Get in touch with the host if you are looking to host a wedding of 50 or fewer guests, 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 both the ceremony as well the reception. But couples can switch it up by hosting an event in the landscaped gardens or even an informal luncheon by the barbecue grills. Most importantly the pergola is the perfect setting for the bar.
