Four Points by Sheraton St. Catharines Niagara Suites

At Four Points by Sheraton St. Catharines Niagara Suites, a wedding can begin on the outdoor patio and carry on into a bright ballroom just steps away.

The all-suites hotel is in Thorold, close to Brock University and within reach of Niagara Falls and the shops at The Pen Centre.

Ceremonies can be held on the outdoor patio, which the hotel highlights as a setting for exchanging vows.

Receptions take place in the Brock Ballroom, which seats up to 250 for a banquet or 500 for a standing reception. Nine other event rooms suit rehearsal dinners, showers and smaller gatherings.

The chef creates a reception menu to suit each couple, with buffet or plated dinners and tastings ahead of the day. Certified wedding planners can help with the budget, table settings and finding florists, photographers and entertainment.

Couples can book the Honeymoon Suite for their wedding night, and guests enjoy free parking, an indoor pool, a fitness centre and suites with mini fridges and microwaves.

For couples who picture a patio ceremony, a full ballroom and Niagara's sights waiting for the weekend, Four Points by Sheraton St. Catharines Niagara Suites offers a wedding that keeps everyone close and comfortable.
