Spectacular vibe

The Black Frame Team were very accommodating and supportive of our vision. They were attentive to every aspect of our celebration and helpful in bringing it all to life. A huge Black Frame plus is that we were able to continue on as deep into the night as we pleased, where other venues have curfews due to Niagara’s by laws. With the enormous screen and sound system, we were able to show our wedding video from our elopement in a very special way and our guests were blown away. We still can’t get over how special our day was by simply selecting Black Frame as our reception venue.

20 / 10 Recommend!

I can't rave enough about how amazing our experience with Black Frame Studios was. Every single member of their team was so fun to be around and it was genuinely a pleasure to spend our day with them. Hands down the coolest venue Niagara has to offer! It was exactly what we were looking for, our main focus was to celebrate with a night out with our friends and family, we still wanted it to be formal, but not stuffy and boring. I dragged my butt for 2 years not feeling inspired moving forward with a venue that didn't feel like "us" but as soon as I discovered it, I knew it was the exact vibe we were looking for, and literally all the details perfectly fell into place from there. The bonus of the venue itself also having one of the coolest media company's in the region and the option to use them for photography and videography is the icing on the cake you didn't even know you needed! I almost skimped out on photography thinking we didn't need it, but I am so glad I trusted my gut and went with Wes & his team. The entire day they made us feel so comfortable and like they were just a natural part of our day, none of it felt awkward or like work. They also set us up with every vendor we could need from the DJ to the food and took all the (sometimes overwhelming) guess work out of the process. 20/10 all the way, I wouldn't change one thing about our day!

Incredible & Unique!

Black Frame Studios was everything we could have hoped for and more. From the moment we walked in, we knew this was the perfect spot for our wedding. The space is absolutely gorgeous—modern, sleek, and full of character, with natural light that made everything feel magical.

What really set it apart was how flexible the venue was. Whether you’re dreaming of something minimal or a more elaborate setup, this space can do it all. We barely had to add any decor because the design of the studio is already so beautiful. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how unique and stylish it was!

The team at Black Frame Studios was amazing to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right. From our first visit to the day-of coordination, they were always helpful, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our wedding as special as possible.

If you’re looking for a venue that’s not just beautiful but also versatile and well-managed, I can’t recommend Black Frame Studios enough. It made our big day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to have found this hidden gem.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
