Intimate Vows

Historical Chapel

Make your wedding a part of history by choosing our beautifully restored historical wedding chapel for your ceremony. This romantic and intimate setting features warm wood tones and a welcoming ambiance, perfect for couples dreaming of a rustic wedding ceremony with a touch of historic charm.

Formally known as St. George Anglican Church, the chapel was built in 1864 in Rymal, a community now known as Hannon, Ontario. In 1974 the building and its interior furnishings were offered to the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. NPCA had the building dismantled, moved to its present site and reassembled. Since reopening in 1974, the chapel has become a cherished site for wedding ceremonies and special events.

With seating for up to 110 guests, this historic wedding venue offers a one-of-a-kind setting for both religious and non-denominational ceremonies. Whether you’re planning a classic, vintage-inspired wedding or a simple and elegant event, the Ball’s Falls Chapel provides a meaningful and memorable space to say, ‘I do’.

This venue is rented in 2-hour allotments. Available times are: 9:30-11:30 am, 12-2:00 pm, 2:30-4:30 pm or 5-7:00 pm.

Perfect Venue Surrounded by Nature

The Big Barn at Ball's Falls was the perfect venue for our wedding! Catherine and her team were great to work with, offering us flexible times for viewing the venue and connected us to some amazing vendors that helped us with our big day! The expertise provided by this team was unmatched and they were able to answer all of the wedding questions for the months that we worked to plan.

On the day-of their staff was on board, attentive, and provided awesome support throughout the entire event. We were able to comfortably hold over 160 guests in the Big Barn and the lighting and set up was gorgeous and clean. - Chelsea M.
