Simply amazing

Ovation ballroom put together the most beautiful wedding for us. Jolene was absolutely fantastic and kept everything running so smoothly. Every bride worries that at least something will run late or go wrong, but litterally nothing did! The team here were absolutely fantastic! The bar tenders were hilarious and such a joy to talk to. The servers were polite and so nice. And everyone was there to help with whatever I needed. I couldn't have asked for a better day and highly recommend ovation ballroom. The room was gorgeous and big and the outdoor ceremony area was beautiful. And the price was very in budjet for the service you get. Thank you all for making our day special!

Highly reccomend!!

If I could give Ovation more stars I would!! My husband and I got married in May and it was the best day of our lives. From the beginning of the planning process to the moment our wedding day came to an end everything was perfection.

Jolene was incredible to work with through the entire process, from the initial meeting, to the many emails and questions, little details, and decisions along the way she was very responsive, helpful and helped to create a smooth stress free process! We felt like we were in the best hands from the beginning.

The day of our wedding was perfect; the venue was beautiful and everything ran seamlessly (although it did pour rain- Jolene helped with a plan b and my husband and I both agreed that plan b was even more beautiful than plan a!). All the staff ensured all of our guests were taken care of. We truly enjoyed every second of the day with no stress, taking in every moment.

And of course, the food was AMAZING! We had many guests reach out and say they loved their meals, and we couldn’t agree more! Having so many guests approach us and complementing how great the food was and how beautiful the venue was made the day even more special.

We are so grateful we found Ovation, and especially Jolene, for helping make our day unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to get married!

Thank you to everyone who helped make our day so special and memorable! We will remember and cherish this day for the rest of our lives! ♥️ and if we could go back and do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a single thing!

June 2026 Wedding

Jolene and John's Staff at Ovation Ballroom were amazing at accommodating us for our special day. We truly felt like all our needs and wishes were met and highly recommend Ovation Ballroom to future couples. Not only were we taken care of personally but all of our guests had nothing but nice things to say about the nights festivities and how well the service was. We couldn't have asked for anything better!

Fantastic Venue!

We traveled out of the country to have our wedding at Ovation Ballroom. Jolene was super responsive and accommodating for us being a couple across the country. The wedding package we selected included so many vendors at a reasonable price which made it easier for us to plan our wedding from afar. I cannot recommend this venue enough for couples local and international!

Wedding Review - 2026, Ovation Ballroom

We are so incredibly grateful that we chose Ovation Ballroom for our 2026 wedding. From the very beginning, we felt so welcomed and taken care of, and by the time our wedding day arrived, we knew we were in the best hands. Jolene, our wedding coordinator, was truly incredible. She went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process, always making us feel heard, supported, and cared for. She made everything feel so seamless and helped bring our vision to life in the most beautiful way.
The cocktail hour, food, staff, and overall experience were absolutely amazing. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful the evening was!
If you’re newly engaged and looking for the perfect place to celebrate your wedding, I truly cannot recommend Ovation Ballroom enough. Jolene is the best, and we are so thankful she was such an important part of our wedding journey. She made such a special time in our lives even more memorable, and we will always look back on our wedding day with so much love and gratitude.

NYE 2025/2026 Wedding

It has been just over a week since our New Years Eve at Ovation Ballroom and we are still beaming from how perfect the day and evening went!

I'll be honest - I did not originally imagine ourselves getting married in a ballroom styled venue, but Ovation came recommended to us as we were planning for a larger sized winter wedding in Niagara and once we met Jolene - we knew this was right choice. Ovation's packaging for larger weddings made the entire process so simple and stress free but in addition to that, Jolene went above and beyond to help bring our vision come to life with a genuine desire to make your special day everything you could want. While she may be the venue manager/coordinator for multiple locations - she does not fail to ensure you are feeling taken care of and at ease.

The entire day flowed perfectly from our more intimate ceremony space in the Port Robinson room, to our extended cocktail hour with an antipasto bar that our guests absolutely raved about and of course the dinner that flowed perfectly with no delays and seamlessly blended into a great night of dancing.

The staff were friendly and kind, the food was amazing (not one complaint from our guests!) and the bar was quick. The team at Ovation were so welcoming, and helpful with us in dropping off and picking up our decor.

This venue can meet the needs of a smaller or larger wedding - absolutely recommend!!

Would highly recommend for any event but especially a wedding!

Our wedding was perfection in every way and it was largely due to the team at Ovation! Everyone raved about how fun the wedding was, how amazing the food was, how great the servers and the bartenders were! All in all it was fantastic! Jolene as well was incredible at managing the timeline and day, and answering all the questions I had leading up to the day! I had done an endless amount of venue research prior to booking with ovation and am SO incredibly happy I went with them.

October 2025 Wedding

Ovation Ballroom and the 43 North Restaurant Group were truly spectacular at making our wedding so special. To say it was a perfect day is an understatement, it was truly a dream come true. Jolene our wedding coordinator was tentative, helpful, friendly, and kind throughout the wedding process. She was quick to answer any of my questions and made sure everything was in order and on time the day of. Any concern I had, she had a practical solution and went above and beyond to ease my mind. We were very grateful for her guidance and honesty. The food and dinner service at Ovation Ballroom was fantastic! We were a wedding of 350, and we were done speeches and dancing by 9:45pm! Food came out hot and quickly, and was absolutely delicious! We received several complements from our guests on how great dinner service was and how full they were! Ovation was also great at accommodating our guests dietary needs. Servers were friendly and efficient throughout dinner service. The hall itself was stunning. Newly updated, the facility was clean, decorated beautifully, with comfortable temperatures throughout the evening. We cannot say enough great things about the team at Ovation. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone. This hard working team will go above and beyond to make your wedding day special!

Fall Wedding

The value for our money was great, after looking around for what felt like forever we ended up picking the ovation ballroom. We did not regret it, the packages with all the vendors made life easy and the process ran smooth.

The team at ovation was great, friendly and helpful! The venue was set up perfectly!

I would reccomend them to anyone!

We highly, highly recommend!

We had our wedding at Ovation Ballroom in August 2025, and the entire experience was phenomenal from start to finish!

Working with Jolene was such a joy, she made the whole planning process so easy and stress-free. She’s incredibly organized, attentive, and genuinely heartfelt. It truly felt like planning with a friend. She prioritized all of our needs and made sure every single detail came together beautifully.

The day itself was beyond what we could have imagined. The ballroom looked stunning, everything ran so smoothly, and our guests are still raving about how amazing the food was...there was so much of it, and every dish was delicious! The service was top-notch, and you could tell how much care the entire team put into making sure everyone had a great time.

We also took photos out back, and the outdoor space was absolutely beautiful- such a hidden gem for pictures or even a ceremony!

We can’t thank Jolene and the Ovation team enough for creating such a perfect, unforgettable day. If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, incredible food, and people who truly care about your vision, Ovation Ballroom is the one. We highly, highly recommend! 🤍
