Thank you!

Jennifer was so helpful and kind! She made the whole planning process a little easier on me and helped me any time I emailed her. The day of the wedding we found out my florist forgot to bring my flowers and I was a mess... Jennifer stood there with me calming me down and assuring me everything was fine. Once we left for pictures, my flowers showed up. Jennifer took them all up to the room doe me and set them where I wanted them. She pinned all the guys boutineers as soon as they walked in. I honestly cannot Express how grateful I am for the help!
The venue its self is just beautiful and the food is amazing. Everyone loved all 3 courses! We will be returning to the Casablanca inn!

Final product amazing

We had three different contacts from day one to final day which made things slightly confusing. After a couple trips down to the Casablanca to speak in person we finally got progress. The final day was perfect and they delivered exactly what we wanted! The service the day of was stellar!

Great day, wonderful venue

We had our ceremony and reception at Casablanca. Our contact there changed a few times and honestly I only have two complaints, the first of which being the response time for emails was not great and some of my emails would get missed entirely so I would have to follow up. I got in the habit of sending my emails in bulleted points because otherwise questions I asked could be missed. However Tina was fantastic to work with and put up with all of our shit. The food was fantastic and so was all of the staff. My only other complaint is the building really needs to be updated, specifically the fabrics. If they could just update their carpets, curtains, couches, etc they place would look so much better. But this we knew going in and I assume helped make the venue so affordable.

Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. We had a blast. Our family and friends all had a blast. It was a beautiful location with reasonable pricing. I recommend Casablanca to anybody in the Niagara region or anybody who wishes to travel there to get married.

Willing to personalise

Took all the time I needed and supported me in making my decisions. Thanks Jennifer for making sure it happened when I wanted something out of the box! Just felt a little time pressure being kept on schedule when I have a whole group of "arrive lates" in my network.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect! The entire planning process from start to finish went smoothly thanks to our wonderful event manager April. April is very professional - always ready to answer questions, present options and willing to accommodate our requests. The grand ballroom venue fit our 1920s jazz lounge theme perfectly coupled with the great linen décor on offer. We had a cocktail reception with a great bar, three tasty signature drinks and the food was divine! Chef was wonderful to work with and happy to tweak the menu to our liking and dietary requests. The food and beverage manager and staff serving at our reception were amazing - they even dressed up in 1920s garb for the do! All of our guests enjoyed the reception thoroughly. Our event was exactly what we envisioned and we are grateful to Casablanca Winery Inn for helping us to realize our perfect wedding day.

I love this venue as it was functional to have kids be included and allowed for us to personalize our wedding choice so everything would be exactly how we wanted it.

Perfect venue for our perfect day

Casablanca Hotel was a joy to work with right from the get go. I happened to be in town and had been emailing with Jennifer, she made time for me that day and when my mom couldn’t tag along she suggested we call her and put her on speaker so we could ensure any of her questions were answered as well. Jennifer was always quick to respond and so hopefully in working out all the details for our day. The day of everything was perfect, I could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding.

Absolutely incredible, everything we needed and stress free!

Casablanca Winery made everything so easy and stress free, I am so grateful for that. My husband and I were from out of province, and everyone was so helpful. The price was also really helpful and affordable, as it included all the major components we wanted. A big perk was having the hotel with the venue, so our guests could be comfortable with attending the reception and not having to go very far at the end of the night. We also had the brunch there the next morning, which was a great way to spend a chill morning with you guests.
