Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery

Weddings at this Jordan winery are planned and catered by Inn On The Twenty, part of Vintage Hotels.

About the venue

Ceremonies take place at a floral arbour at the edge of Pondview Lawn, overlooking Lake Lavelle. Receptions are held in the Moyer Marquee, a 3,600 sq ft tent with sidewalls that open and close. Both spaces host 50 to 225 guests.

On EventPlans.ca it is listed as a winery or brewery and estate in Niagara, at 3210 Staff Avenue, Jordan, ON L0R 1S0.

Event spaces

The venue lists these spaces. Capacities are the venue’s own figures and change with the layout you choose.

• Pondview Ceremonies: 50 to 225 guests
• Moyer Marquee (3,600 sq ft tent): 50 to 225 guests

Capacity

The venue does not publish a single maximum for every room, so ask for the capacity of the specific space in the layout you want: seated dinner, standing reception, theatre or classroom.

A useful rule: a seated dinner at rounds of ten needs about 1 to 1.2 square metres per guest, a standing reception about 0.7, and theatre seating about 0.6, before you add a stage or dance floor. The venue capacity calculator does the arithmetic for your room.

Events it hosts

According to its own event pages, the venue hosts weddings.

Planning entertainment here

Barrel rooms and patios suit acoustic music and roaming entertainment. Outdoor sound usually has an end time, so plan louder entertainment indoors.

Send every performer’s technical needs to the venue before you book: floor space, ceiling height, power, sound and changing room.

Getting there

Check the venue website for directions, parking rates and accessible entrances, and send the details to guests with the invitation.
