The Perfect Day

Château des Charmes was the perfect venue for us. We chose our August 2021 date in the fall of 2019, prior to the pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, Svetlana (special events manager) was amazing to work with and really helped us feel comfortable during the constant ups and downs of the pandemic. We always felt supported and felt we could put our 100% trust in her and CdC.

Admittedly, the lack of reviews here made us a bit skeptical before booking, but we are so happy with our decision to have both our ceremony & reception there. Like noted in a prior review, we loved that we did not have to turn down the music at 11pm, like at other NOTL wineries. Their catering partnership with Vintage Hotels (Queens Landing) for hors d'oeuvres, dinner and the late night buffet was amazing, and we loved that we didn’t have to commit to a minimum number of guests at booking like at other wedding venues.

The property itself is so beautiful and impressive; lots of great places for photos. The rest of the staff at CdC was wonderful as well, whether that was on our day, or leading up to it during our wedding wine tasting or even on random trips to Niagara. We loved having the venue all to ourselves after 6pm and a later ceremony start at 6:30pm worked for us.

We would highly recommend having a wedding and/or reception here!

Not great but okay...

Absolutely beautiful venue. Food is decent. Customer service is okay with their inadequate coordinator. When you book here, you're just another number.

Chateau des Charmes does not disappoint! The venue is gorgeous, the staff are all extremely friendly and attentive, and having exclusive use of the property for your event makes it feel truly special.
Also I should mention that unlike most venues in Niagara-on-the-Lake, this is one of the only wineries that does not have to stop the music by 11 pm. Given that we were only just finishing dessert around this time, we really appreciated having a few more hours to hit the dance floor!

Chateau des Charmes was just amazing! Natalie Kryszik, the wedding coordinator there was super helpful, always providing great ideas and thinking a few steps ahead to have everything run smoothly. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. It was so effortless to work with them! Our guests raved about the venue and the beauty of the vineyard.
