A Scotsman Story of Love

January 23, 2025

You’ve just said ‘yes’ to forever, and now it’s time to gather your loved ones and celebrate this milestone in a truly spectacular setting. At The Scotsman, we craft unforgettable moments for pre-wedding celebrations, bridal party gatherings, and engagement retreats in the charm of Niagara-on-the-Lake. With its luxurious design and personalized service, we’re here to help you begin the next chapter of your untold story.

Chapter One: The Vision Behind The Scotsman

The Scotsman was born from a love story. Founded by Brenda and Blair McArthur, whose own engagement took place in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the hotel embodies their appreciation for romance and elegance. For over 37 years, this historic town has been intertwined with their lives, and through The Scotsman, they invite guests to share in its timeless allure.

Chapter Two: A Setting for Celebration

Pre-wedding gatherings at The Scotsman are intimate and extraordinary. To ensure the exclusivity and personalized experience The Scotsman is known for; a buyout of the hotel is required. This policy creates an immersive and seamless retreat for you and your loved ones, with every detail tailored to your vision. For larger gatherings, our concierge team can work with you to access some exclusive spaces in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

With six suites accommodating up to 12 guests, the buyout includes personalized culinary experiences, a wine-tasting tour of Niagara’s Lower Bench with chauffeur service, and exclusive use of all hotel facilities. Imagine a weekend spent savouring fine wines, dining on custom-crafted meals, and creating memories in a setting designed just for you.

Chapter Three: Wedding Weekend Amenities

Every detail counts when it comes to creating the perfect pre-wedding experience. For bridal parties, our luxurious suites—such as The Owner’s Suite or The Prestonfield—offer exquisite settings for preparation and relaxation. With stunning interiors, spacious layouts, and breathtaking design, they ensure you’ll be pampered every step of the way.

Our culinary team specializes in creating custom breakfasts or brunches tailored to your preferences, providing the perfect start to your wedding day. Reserve a block of rooms to enjoy exclusive discounts for your party and let us add a touch of elegance with complimentary room upgrades for the bride and groom.

Chapter Four: Versatile Event Spaces for Hotel Guests

The hotel boasts a range of stunning spaces to suit every celebration. For intimate gatherings, our Whiskey, Highland, and Champagne Lounges provide chic, contemporary settings with stylish furnishings. Outdoors, our garden terrace offers a picturesque backdrop surrounded by lush greenery.
