Destination Weddings: Niagara Falls
Filed under: Honeymoons, Destination Ceremonies, Ceremonies, Destination Weddings
In many destination wedding ceremonies, waterfalls are a popular backdrop. For the ultimate waterfall wedding, consider North America's premier waterfall destination -- Niagara Falls. There are falls on both the US and Canadian side of the border, so you don't have to travel internationally if you are from either of those two countries to get married at Niagara Falls. However, the Canadian side is a bit more spectacular, and also more tourist-friendly. The American and Canadian dollars are equal right now, so as long as you've got a passport, crossing the border to wed on the Canadian side won't be much of a hassle. In fact, you don't even need a passport to cross from the US to Canada, as long as you have proof of citizenship.
You can get married right at the falls, but you may have trouble avoiding tourists, and setting up for a large wedding will be difficult. Many area wedding companies offer ceremonies somewhere nearby that is more private, with photography available at the falls themselves.
Instead of standing among the tourists for your wedding, you can book special ceremonies in balloons or helicopters overlooking the falls, or in hotels with big glass windows looking out on the water below. Some hotels near the falls have amazing views right from your bed, helping make Niagara Falls one of the world's top honeymoon destinations as well.
It gets hot at Niagara Falls in the summer time, and very cold in winter, so you can plan your wedding around your weather preferences. For a summer wedding, you may want to consider getting hitched aboard the Maid of the Mist tourist boat that goes under the falls. Just be prepared to get a little wet! If you decide against marrying on the boat, it's still a great outing to take with your guests as part of your wedding festivities.
A destination wedding that doesn't involve international travel is always easier on your guests, so if you live in the US or Canada, put Niagara Falls on your list of possibilities, and look at the gallery for scenes that could be the backdrop of your wedding pictures.
