Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery

Last reviewed: August 8, 2026. Business status: Active.

Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery is an active winery and seasonal wedding venue on the Staff family’s estate in Jordan, Ontario. Its official website has a dedicated wedding section, current wedding inquiry details and information about ceremonies, receptions, capacity and catering. This establishes the current identity and wedding service independently of the legacy directory record.

Couples researching the Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery wedding venue in Jordan Ontario will find an outdoor wine-country format rather than a year-round banquet hall. The documented arrangement combines a ceremony lawn overlooking the pond and Niagara Escarpment with a reception beneath the Moyer Marquee tent. The venue states that it can accommodate up to 225 guests.

This profile was last reviewed on August 8, 2026. Details below are limited to information published on the winery’s official website; package inclusions, available dates and event-specific logistics should be confirmed directly with its wedding team.

Services and specialization

Sue-Ann Staff Estate Winery specializes in outdoor winery weddings held among the vineyards of its historic family property. The official wedding page describes ceremonies on the estate lawn and receptions under the Moyer Marquee. Weddings also incorporate the winery’s estate wines, including styles such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Icewine.

Catering and event planning are provided through Inn On The Twenty and Vintage Hotels. Couples should therefore clarify which responsibilities belong to the winery and which are handled by those hospitality partners when reviewing a proposal.

• Outdoor ceremony lawn with views of the pond and Niagara Escarpment
• Tented reception space for celebrations of up to 225 guests
• Catering and event planning through Inn On The Twenty and Vintage Hotels
• Sue-Ann Staff Estate wines served as part of the winery setting

Venue setting, capacity and wedding season

The official photo page describes a 104-acre property above the Village of Jordan and a 3,600-square-foot event space. It identifies vineyard vistas and a westerly view as available photography settings. These are documented physical features, although couples should ask which areas are accessible during their specific rental period.

The venue hosts outdoor weddings from May through October and says it cannot currently accommodate winter weddings. Its stated maximum is up to 225 guests beneath the tent; the appropriate layout for dinner, dancing, entertainment and other requirements still needs to be confirmed with the wedding team.

• Published maximum: up to 225 guests
• Published wedding season: May through October
• Documented property size: 104 acres
• Documented event-space size: 3,600 square feet

Service area and who it may suit

The winery is in Jordan in the Niagara Benchlands, on the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. The business estimates travel times of about 10 minutes from St. Catharines, 30 minutes from Niagara Falls and 60–90 minutes from Toronto via the QEW. Travel time will depend on traffic and the guests’ starting points.

This venue may suit couples who want an outdoor ceremony, vineyard portraits, a tented reception and estate-produced wine within one property. It is less aligned with couples requiring a winter date, a fully indoor wedding format or guest rooms at the venue.

• Relevant to couples comparing Jordan and wider Niagara wine-country venues
• Potential fit for larger outdoor celebrations within the published 225-person limit
• Nearby lodging must be arranged separately

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Confirmed strengths are the documented features of the property: a ceremony lawn, pond and escarpment views, an established marquee, estate vineyards, on-property photo settings and a stated capacity of up to 225. The partnership with Inn On The Twenty and Vintage Hotels also confirms that catering and event planning are available through named providers.

The principal practical limitations are equally clear. Weddings are seasonal and outdoors, winter events are unavailable, and the winery does not provide overnight accommodation. The official pages reviewed do not explain the ceremony rain plan, temperature control inside the marquee, minimum guest commitments, accessibility of every wedding area or which rentals are included. These are matters to verify, not presumed shortcomings.

• Outdoor wedding season only
• No overnight accommodation at the winery
• Weather contingency details are not published
• Wedding-specific accessibility and rental inclusions require confirmation

Pricing

Current wedding pricing is not explicitly published. The official wedding and photo pages direct couples to request detailed wedding and event information rather than listing a venue fee, per-person rate, minimum spend or deposit schedule.

Ask for a current dated proposal covering the venue, catering, bar and wine service, staffing, rentals, taxes, gratuities and any mandatory fees. Couples should also confirm whether pricing changes by date, guest count or service format before comparing the total with other Niagara venues.

• No current wedding rate is shown on the official pages reviewed
• No published deposit, minimum-spend or cancellation terms were found
• Obtain all inclusions and additional charges in writing

Contact and booking

Wedding inquiries can be sent to weddings@sue-annstaff.com. The winery’s general telephone number is 905-562-1719, and its official address is 3210 Staff Avenue, Jordan, Ontario L0R 1S0. The official wedding page advises contacting the team early because peak dates can book well in advance.

When inquiring, provide the preferred date or season, estimated guest count and whether the event includes both ceremony and reception. Request the current wedding package and ask how to arrange a venue visit. General retail tasting hours should not be assumed to be wedding-tour availability.

What couples should confirm

Before signing, confirm the exact spaces and hours included, the wet-weather ceremony arrangement, marquee sidewalls or climate provisions, parking and washroom capacity, noise or end-time rules, and accessibility from arrival through the ceremony and reception areas.

The winery identifies Inn On The Twenty and Vintage Hotels as its catering and planning partners, but couples should ask whether those services are mandatory, what food and beverage minimums apply, and who acts as the contractual lead. Also verify wine and bar choices, outside-vendor rules, setup and teardown responsibilities, liability-insurance requirements and the policy for children or dogs during private events.

• Available date, exclusivity period and payment schedule
• Rain, heat and cold-weather plans
• Catering, bar, rentals and staffing inclusions
• Accessibility, parking, washrooms and transportation arrangements
