4 Niagara Wedding Vendors You Didn’t Know You Needed (But Will Absolutely Love)
After almost 20 years as a Niagara wedding photographer, I’ve seen it all—the fairytale ceremonies, teary first looks, sparkler exits, and even the “oops-we-forgot-the-scissors-for-the-dress-tags” kind of chaos. And while I always recommend the must-haves like an incredible planner, florist, hair & makeup artist, and DJ, there’s a handful of lesser-known vendors that deserve a spotlight for how game-changing they can be.
Whether you’re planning a vineyard soirée in Niagara-on-the-Lake, a lakeside celebration in Jordan, or an intimate elopement by the Falls, these hidden gems can elevate your day from beautiful to unforgettable.
Here are 4 wedding vendors you didn’t know you needed… until now:
1. Kimsy Kay – The Bridal Beauty Alchemist

Let’s be real: You want to feel confident, radiant, and photo-ready on your wedding day—and not just from good lighting and angles (though I’ve got those covered!). That’s where Kimsy Kay comes in.
Kimsy is a registered nurse and expert cosmetic injector whose work is all about enhancing your natural beauty—not masking it. Her pre-wedding injectables are subtle, timeless, and camera-ready, helping brides, moms, and bridal party members feel luminous inside and out. What I love most? Her vibe. She’s warm, intentional, and an absolute artist. You don’t just leave her chair looking refreshed—you leave feeling empowered.
Plus, she’s the founder of the Nurses and Needles movement, which advocates for safe, ethical, and elevated aesthetic care. Whether you’re looking for a glow-up or a little confidence boost before the big day, Kimsy will help you radiate from the inside out.
2. Demitra from Deez Paws
Calling all dog lovers! If your fur baby is part of your love story (and let’s be honest, they usually are), you need to know Demitra from Deez Paws.
I absolutely adore her upbeat personality, calming presence, and incredible attention to detail. She specializes in wedding day pet handling—yep, she’s the one who makes sure your pup gets down the aisle with grace, stays happy and safe during portraits, and gets all the snuggles they deserve without pulling you out of the moment. Demitra is communicative, reliable, and a total joy to have on site. Your dog is in the best paws possible with her!
3. Raise the Bar – Mobile Bartending Service
Imagine having a fully customized cocktail menu served with flair and professionalism—all without the stress of organizing your own bar team. Raise The Bar is a mobile bartending dream team based in the Golden Horseshoe, and they bring hospitality excellence to every celebration.
Founded by three best friends who are all about creating unforgettable experiences, they deliver next-level service and seriously good drinks. Whether you want a signature couple’s cocktail or a full bar setup with local flair, they’ve got you. From intimate backyard weddings to large-scale vineyard receptions, Raise The Bar turns your beverage experience into a true highlight of the day.
4. Starnotch Costumes – Mobile Steaming & Dress Services

Wrinkled dresses? Lint on tuxes? Broken buttons or emergency fashion fixes? Not on my watch—and not with Starnotch Costumes in the mix.
This mobile steaming and garment care service is an absolute lifesaver on wedding mornings. They come to you, armed with steamers, emergency kits, and the kind of fashion expertise that saves the day (and the photos). Whether it’s smoothing out your gown, pressing the groom’s shirt, or handling a last-minute dress malfunction, their team works magic behind the scenes so you can focus on what matters—like marrying the love of your life.
Final Thoughts
When it comes to planning your Niagara wedding, don’t just think big picture—think little luxuries that make a huge impact. These vendors might not be on every couple’s checklist, but they’ve earned a permanent spot on mine.
