Legends on the Niagara Wedding

The first time we sat down to chat with Jenn and Arvin, there was an instant connection. It was like catching up with old friends over coffee. We talked wedding, exchanged stories, and laughed…A LOT! As Diego and I left the coffee shop that evening, we both agreed that Jenn and Arvin are our people and we crossed our fingers that they felt the same. Thankfully, we did not need to wait too long to hear back…but now we had to wait 2 years until the big day!

Despite the pandemic, Jenn and Arvin are one of the few couples that got to get married on their original date at their initially chosen venue, the Legends on the Niagara. Jenn and Arvin are both avid sport enthusiasts, so of course a wedding at a golf club was more than fitting. Legends on the Niagara is a stunning golf facility located on 1,000 acres of land, where the clubhouse is reminiscent of a fort from the early 1800s. The clubhouse has stunning lounge and event spaces that look over a terrace that offers panoramic views of the golf courses and the lake. The perfect place for a romantic fall wedding.

Getting Ready

Jenn got ready for the big day at her parents’ home, with her parents, siblings, and friends all lending a hand in the getting ready process. In true Canadian fashion, the ladies lounged in plaid flannel shirts, while Jenn’s mom sported a Toronto Blue Jays jersey. And to make sure there wasn’t a dull moment, Jenn’s dad serenaded the ladies with some smooth tunes. Once all the hair and make up was done, Jenn’s stunning lace dress was buttoned, and her adorable Lacey sandals were slipped on, it was time to head to the ceremony.

Arvin got ready at the Double Tree Fallsview Resort by Hilton, in a room that offered stunning views of Niagara River. His parents, brother, groomsmen and groomsladies, matching with Arvin in stunning navy wedding attire, lent a hand in getting Arvin dressed, ready, and out the door in time for the ceremony, all while cracking jokes and keeping a huge smile on Arvin’s face the entire time.

Portraits at Legends on the Niagara

Before getting Jenn and Arvin married, it was time for their first look and portraits. Having a stunning venue that allows you to stay on location for your portraits, ceremony, and reception is such a treat and time saver! Plus, having an awesomely silly couple that’s always smiling and laughing, and who are posing pros after their sick engagement shoot at the abandoned Barber Paper, doesn’t hurt either! We were really able to take advantage of every inch of the Legends on the Niagara property, the stunning brick facade, the rich wooden details in the roof, and all the brightly coloured floral arrangements surrounding the Legends on the Niagara. It’s clear how much love and care goes into maintaining the property.

Ceremony on the Legends on the Niagara Terrace

With lake and golf course views, the terrace at Legends on the Niagara is the perfect setting for a ceremony, especially when the sun is just starting to set and warm golden sun rays beam down on the couple as they say their I do’s. The best part of Jenn and Arvin’s ceremony though was how personal it was. The wedding was officiated by a high school acquaintance, and Jenn and Arvin both wrote their own vows that had everyone in tears. Seeing how their eyes sparkle when they look at each other and erupt in laughter, it’s clear that their energy and love for each other is unmatched, and we were so happy to be able to witness and capture it.

Reception at Legends on the Niagara

True to their fun-loving personalities, Jenn and Arvin’s reception was a wedding party you did not want to miss! The speeches were hilarious, full of fun, and embarrassing, stories. The couple and parent dances were full of laughs and giggles (and the occasional emotional tear). DJ E-Bucks kept the party pumping all night, with all the guests, including the moms and dads, aunties and uncles, all breaking it down on the dance floor. Jenn even had a drinking game going with Arvin all day. If you haven't heard of Icing before, it’s a popular college drinking game where if a person sees a Smirnoff Ice, they must get down on one knee and chug it. Arvin took it like a champ, and chugged his third Smirnoff Ice (at least from our count…) after finding it attached to Jenn’s thigh while removing her garter.

Jenn and Arvin, you know how to have fun and throw an epic wedding! Thank you for those post-wedding donuts (they were gone in minutes), all the laughs from the moment we met with you, and all the love we received from you, your families, and friends! Love you both and cannot wait to party with you again one day!
