WEDDING AT THE HARE WINE CO.

Aug 26

There are weddings that lean deeply into romance, and there are weddings that sparkle with laughter — this Wedding at The Hare Wine Co. was the perfect example of both. Set in the heart of Niagara’s wine country, the day reflected everything the couple valued most: joy, connection, and of course, unforgettable food. From a playful first look at White Oaks Resort & Spa to a surprise shrimp cocktail at the altar, every moment carried the couple’s signature blend of humour and heart.

With the help of their wedding planner, Mallory, the day unfolded with seamless ease. Against the backdrop of The Hare Wine Co.’s rustic setting, long harvest tables, and breathtaking views, friends and family gathered for an intimate yet vibrant celebration. This Niagara Region Wedding Venue offered a warm, welcoming atmosphere for both the wedding ceremony and cocktail reception, complete with great wines, exceptional cuisine, and the addition of a floral wedding arbour that perfectly complemented the vineyard’s charm.

INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS WEDDING

For this couple, the inspiration was simple: good food, lots of laughter, and a space that felt warm and inviting. The Hare Wine Co. wedding venue was the perfect backdrop, with its rustic setting and breathtaking views of Niagara’s vineyards. They added their own personal touches — from a floral wedding arbour to long harvest tables — to make it feel like their own. With the help of their wedding planner, every detail came together for a dream wedding in the heart of wine country, and the day was the perfect example of love and personality shining through.

FIRST LOOK AT WHITE OAKS RESORT & SPA

The couple’s approach to their special day was simple: keep things fun, easy, and delicious. Their outdoor patio wedding ceremony at The Hare Wine Co. highlighted these values in the most unexpected ways. Steve made his vows uniquely memorable by promising to “keep you fed” — then signaling to a server to deliver a shrimp cocktail at the altar. It was a laugh-out-loud moment that perfectly captured their personalities and instantly became a guest favourite.

The personalization continued with acrylic-engraved vows placed in a custom wine box made by the groom’s brother-in-law, a detail that felt so meaningful in a venue rental surrounded by rows of vines. Paired with music from Brent and Sarah of Brent Miller Live — including playful renditions of Gold Digger, Kiss the Girl, and even the Super Mario Bros. theme — the ceremony was every bit the couple’s dream wedding day: heartfelt, authentic, and uniquely theirs.

A WEDDING AT THE HARE WINE CO.
