Reviews for Sorella Farms
Fairytale Venue
Sorella Farms is truly a unique and beautiful hidden gem in the Niagara region. There are so many details of this property to appreciate. A beautiful home to stay and get-ready in, the stunning courtyard, historical barn with bridal suite, the pond and orchard, and if you are blessed with a picture-perfect day like we were, a spectacular outdoor cocktail space.
The best part of it all - it feels like you're planning your special day with your best friends. Anna was such a big part of our planning process and ensured each detail over the year we discussed was perfectly executed.
All of our planned details fell so perfectly into the property scape. Looking back there is nothing at all we would've changed.
A few weeks later, we are still receiving messages and calls full of compliments from our guests and other vendors.
We cannot wait to showcase our photographers work of our day at this one-of-a-kind venue.
Hayley, Anna, Carly, Paul & Sorella Family - thank you a million times over for making every little planned detail go according to plan and for opening up your space to us, our family, friends and vendors.
Our day will forever live in our hearts as the most perfect wedding day.
We know any couple that decides to use Sorella, will be just as in love with it as we (Ted-our fur baby) are.
With so much love,
Chris & Matt Dollinger (and Ted)
There's no place better to begin your happily ever after!!

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.

I am dedicated to help couples craft their dream day, and I’m inspired by Sorella 1881 with big visions and boundless potential. I believe every event should be as unique and personal as the people celebrating it, and I strive to ensure every detail—no matter how small—is perfect as Sorella is the perfect place to do this.

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.
