Hi, I’m Hayley, the owner of Sorella 1881. Growing up on the farm and being the 6th generation on it for my family, I dreamed of creating a venue that seamlessly blends luxury and the natural beauty of farm living, offering couples an unforgettable retreat in the heart of Niagara’s wine country. My goal was to craft a space where guests could not only celebrate but also relax and reconnect, enjoying an entire weekend—or even a full week—immersed in the serenity of our property.

As someone who is also getting married at Sorella 1881 in 2025, I truly understand how important it is to have a venue that feels personal, intimate, and unforgettable. From our twinkle-lit 1881 barn courtyard to our luxurious farmhouse retreat with a sauna, hot tub, and fire pit, every detail is designed to provide you with a seamless, romantic experience.

I can’t wait to welcome you to Sorella 1881 and help bring your vision to life at a venue that feels like your very own private escape.

Hi, I’m Jason, co-owner of Sorella 1881. From the start, I’ve been passionate about helping bring this incredible vision to life. As someone who’s always loved Niagara’s farmland, I saw the potential to create something truly special — a place where couples and their guests could celebrate, relax, and enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience in nature.

Having lived and played hockey in St. Catharines, I’ve always felt a strong connection to this area. Building a business on this land has been an exciting journey, combining my love for development and my commitment to creating a space that feels both luxurious and welcoming.

At Sorella 1881, I focus on the development and financial aspects, ensuring everything runs seamlessly. It’s been amazing to watch this dream come to life, and I’m proud to be part of a venue that’s making lasting memories for so many couples.
