Mather Arch Wedding Site

Mather Arch Park gives couples a ceremony setting where history and symbolism quietly become part of the vows.

Built in Fort Erie in 1939, the arch stands among manicured Niagara Parks gardens near the Peace Bridge and is one of the organization's larger outdoor wedding ceremony sites.

Up to approximately 200 guests can gather in the park, allowing an outdoor ceremony to remain intimate in atmosphere without requiring couples to trim a larger guest list.

The site is seasonal and outdoor, so couples should plan an indoor alternative in case Ontario weather decides to become part of the story.

But when the weather cooperates, the setting is wonderfully romantic.

Guests gather among the gardens. The arch rises behind the ceremony. Mature greenery surrounds the space and the architecture gives photographs a sense of history that cannot be recreated with temporary décor.

There is also something beautifully fitting about marrying beneath a monument connected to a bridge between two countries.

A landmark built around connection becomes the backdrop to a promise about building one life together.

For a few hours, Mather Arch stops belonging only to Fort Erie's history.

It becomes part of yours.
