The short review: We 100% recommend Sound of Harmony!!! They did a phenomenal job!…read more The long review: From the very beginning, they made the whole process very easy for us - not only the DJ and music selection elements, but the entire wedding. We had an initial walk-through with Shane (owner/manager), Steve (MC) and Ross (DJ), who asked us a few questions so they could better understand us and make recommendations for our wedding - e.g. what kind of music we like, how did I my wife and I meet, how would we describe each other, etc... This walkthrough was very helpful as we had no idea what we were doing and gave us a good idea of what to expect and what we needed to prepare in the coming months. To add another layer of difficulty, we were trying to coordinate a wedding in Niagara on the Lake, ON, while living in Boston, Massachusetts. They checked-in with us from time to time with more elements to consider and to discuss the details of the timeline for our wedding. As we got closer to the event date, we had a few Skype sessions with Steve, our MC. We provided him with some very ambiguous and open-ended information about our bridesmaids, groomsmen and parents that he was able to, somehow, turn into beautiful introductions for each person before they gave their speeches. Steve not only went above and beyond prior to the event to make us feel comfortable with how things were going to go, but during the event as well - introducing his great sense of humor throughout without overpowering the event. Steve was so beloved, in fact, that at the end of the event much of the wedding party asked to have them join them for drinks while they continued the celebrations that night. Ross was the DJ during the event. As a half "American", half Ukrainian wedding, we threw a very complicated set at him. We gave him songs that were in another language with varying styles that he needed to balance with a mix of traditional jazz and 90s pop music. He was able to pull this off without a hitch and read the crowd very well. Ross was great about taking requests from the guests. We had a diverse group of people - with equally diverse tastes - whose requests he was able to satisfy and blend into the overall style/feel we wanted for the evening. We also had Sound of Harmony provide blue uplights - which we highly recommend as well. It added a nice feel around the room where we felt something would have been missing otherwise. It's a small addition, but makes a big impact. We couldn't have asked for a better team to DJ our event. Working with them was by far the easiest part of wedding planning. The day of the wedding we still had a lot of things to keep in mind and take care of but the DJ and the MC were not one of them. We are truly thankful for all their hard work! They absolutely nailed it!

And they have a menu so you can see costs and what games you're playing and what the specials are. Don't be afraid to ask questions. When you sign up with them, you can get a free dauber! You can have hours of fun here (if you love bingo like me) for a very low cost. I spent $29 on each visit but you don't even have to spend that much for nearly 3 hours of enjoyment! There are paperboards and also you can play on touch screens. I haven't done the touchscreens myself. There's lots of games you can buy to keep yourself occupied the entire time (minus the 15 minute intermission). There's also special promotions. For example, the last one I went to, some of the games one a designer purse in addition to the cash. There is a concession stand with drinks and food, as well as some slot machines. Please be advised they only take Canada and there's a strong chance your card may not work (went with a large group of friends and only one of our cards worked). If you forget to exchange your cash if you have USD or other, there is an ATM there you can use so no worries!

My husband and I made a weekend out of relaxing just over the border in Niagara Falls, which…read moreincluded a round of bingo at Delta Gaming. This was the hub'sters first bingo game ever. For me, I play once or twice a year, but I'd love to play more often. Especially since I have a hot date now. ;-) We went to a Saturday 3:30pm session, which was sparsely attended. It was very chill and quiet, a meditative bingo experience really. The 6:30pm gamers who piled in after our session filled the parking lot, so it's not always as serene as the 3:30pm slot, if you prefer a more boisterous bingo bunch. The pace was just right for us; it moved along quick, but didn't leave us bingo novices in the dust. The prizes are generous; during our session THREE lucky ducks individually won a jackpot prize--$5000, $3000 and $1000 pots each! A splendid bingo camaraderie ensued, and the crowd cheer with each big win. This bingo crowd were lovers, not fighters. I've been to the Fort Erie Delta, and one thing missing from Niagara Falls is the coffee cart that rolls around the floor. But maybe they just didn't have it at our session because it was a small crowd. We did get there early to have lunch, since Google reviews praised the snack bar. And it was good! The poutine had that thick, brown gravy that I love. I had chicken fingers and my better half had a burger, all of which was fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced (just $5.50 for a generous poutine!). The snack bar lady was very sweet, too. This Delta location was a lot of fun! For relatively inexperienced bingo'ers, the staff was friendly and helpful. The venue was clean and comfortable. The snack bar had my fave Canadian candies (COFFEE CRISP). All in all, a great value for about 3 hours of relaxing entertainment. Yeah, we didn't win, would have been nice, sure, but we're bingo purists--it's not about winning, it's about the love of the game.

The Hilton Niagara Falls/Fallsview is a classy full service hotel…read more With multiple restaurants, wine tasting, and easy access to a casino, there's something for everyone and a whole lot to love. Our room - 4258 in the North Tower - offered beautiful views of both falls, a jacuzzi bathtub, separate shower, and a comfortable king size bed. Off site parking was expensive ($62.15 CAD) on a Friday & Saturday, but as a convenience, Hilton offered a free shuttle back and forth. Breakfast is on the 33rd floor of the South Tower. As a Hilton Diamond member the Mr. was given the option of a free continental breakfast or $15 toward something on the menu for each of us. The first morning we chose French toast (meh) and the second we got the complimentary continental offering. It was a whole lot of carbs and a little fruit. We should have shared. Service was friendly, but a little slow. The views were very nice from our window seating. If interested, another option could be the on site full service Starbucks. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would happily stay here again.

Terrible service and execution ruined what should have been a great stay…read more The biggest issue was the alarm clock. It went off at 6:00am even though we never touched it. In 2026, most people use their phones, so having an alarm clock in the room already adds very little value. But keeping one there and not making sure it's reset between guests is just negligent. It introduced a completely avoidable failure point and ended up ruining our stay. It's like having a motion sensor in the room that can turn the lights on in the middle of the night if it isn't reset. It adds no real value, but creates a predictable and completely avoidable disruption for the next guest. There were other issues too: * No pool towels for over an hour. We called as soon as we arrived and were told they were coming, but after waiting more than 60 minutes we gave up and went back to the room. * Elevator delays almost every time. One of four elevators in the North Tower was out of service for the entire stay, so it was constantly backed up. Individually these might seem minor. Together they point to a pattern of poor management and a lack of basic operational discipline. The views and location are excellent, but they're being completely undermined by avoidable service failures. Would not return at current service levels.

It truly is indicative of the civilized country that Canada is and how the Canadians cherish flowers, gardens and outdoor beauty. According to www.niagarafalls.com, "Opened in 1937, the designers of Oakes Garden Theatre capitalized on the contours of the landscape to create a curved pergola overlooking a central amphitheatre. The shaded lily ponds and formalized gardens offer visitors a tranquil escape in the heart of Niagara Falls. Bordered by ornamental iron gates and Queenston limestone, Oakes Garden Theatre provides a spectacular entranceway to Queen Victoria Park at the foot of Clifton Hill.' I cherished Oakes Garden Thatre as a place for a brief respite after trudging up the hill from taking the Hornblower Cruise to Niagara Falls. I saw an open gate and stuck my head in to see if there was a shortcut here to the Sheraton. Instead, I was transfixed by a beautiful landscape. Some guys in a rock band were beginning to set up their gear at the amphitheater stage and there were plenty of children and families about. Seeing some such a gorgeous landscape with benches, seats and plenty of lovely flowers was enough to beckon me in. Later on at the Sheraton, I was happy to note that my hotel room overlooked Oakes Garden and I was able to enjoy some of the rock concert going on at the amphitheater that night. Then the Niagara Falls fireworks show started at 10 p.m. and Oakes is a great place to watch that too. Entry is free all year round. During summer, the place is a hub of activity. The winter months are peacefully quiet with snow covering the area. In winter, there is a lights show at the falls along Niagara Parkway. At this time, the Oakes Garden Theatre also puts up animated light displays along the garden. For those looking to escape the tourist madness of Niagara Falls, this little haven is your answer. It truly is a hidden gem in the Niagara Falls area.

The bartender was the only person on the floor and she was very friendly. Her service was great and we enjoyed the pop punk collection she had playing the whole time we were dining in. We ordered some drinks and for food we shared a chicken club on sourdough and a Reuben. The food did take quite a long time to come out even though we were the only ones who ordered food at the time. The chicken itself was ok, a bit bland but had some good toppings and was well toasted. We had fries with this sandwich and it was very well fried and it came in a huge portion. The Reuben was ok, instead of the tangier russian dressing I'm used to this one was more straight mayo based so the flavors weren't what I was expecting. The marbled rye could have been buttered a little more when toasted as well. The amount of meat that it came with though was great and quite hefty. Both sandwiches also came with coleslaw and a pickle spear. The slaw was vinegar based and cut through the heaviness of the meat. I wish the pickle was more crispy though. All in all, a relaxed spot for lunch with good drink but ok food.

It was quiet and enjoyable. We ordered all 8 beers off the menu for the flight and some chips and guacamole which came out pretty quickly.

I thought I would have really enjoyed the peach radler and the cream ale, neither were as sweet as I thought they would be and not what I would consider a peach radler or a cream ale. I did really enjoy their premium lager and their red ale. I definitely enjoyed here more than the brewery itself, mainly cause the service was much better and the staff was friendly.
