Harvey and Karen made my now-husband and I's wedding day the most beautiful it could possibly be. The photos they took were outstanding and the ceremony had everyone crying. Having the wedding at Niagara Falls was the best decision we made and finding Harvey and Karen was the best choice! If you are looking for an amazing wedding with a LOT less hassle...please contact them and have an incredible wedding you won't soon forget! Everyone who came talked about how truly wonderful the day was! Thank you oh so much!
Harvey and Karen were awesome. They met us at the hotel to take pictures first, then out to Prospect Point. The weather that day was perfect albeit January. They were fun, personable and took over 200+ pictures to choose from. I highly recommend them to orchestrate the ceremony. It was effortless !
We chose Niagara Falls Chapel for our ceremony, photos and video, and they handled our special day exceptionally well.
We woke to a beautiful day, perfect for a wedding and photos at Terrapin Point; that weather lasted until about 30 minutes before our ceremony. Fortunately Harvey and Karen were on site early. When it started to pour, they adjusted quickly and we were able to finish the ceremony with smiles and laughter. The rain continued, forcing us to seek shelter at Top of the Falls. The wet windy weather could have been a disaster, but thanks to their expertise, Harvey and Karen were able to use it to our advantage. The photos far exceeded our expectations. It was hard to choose just 24 for our album, so we decided to purchase them all.
The day was captured so perfectly that when offered the chance to retake photos the next day, the bride declined, she couldn't be happier.
We found Harvey while trying to figure out just what we wanted to do for a wedding since everything we did have planned got changed due to the world going crazy. Harvey was able to answer all of our questions and make everything very simple. Even when we arrived at the Falls to find out that the lower section was closed, we made the best of it and it turned out wonderful. Had such a great experience and would recommend him to anyone.
We were so impressed with Niagara Falls Chapel! Our original wedding plans of a big gathering getting married by a friend in our own state fell through because of virus restrictions. Wanting to keep everyone safe and healthy, we planned a smaller intimate ceremony with Niagara Falls Chapel. We were nervous to be married by a stranger, but Harvey was amazing! He made everyone feel comfortable and helped to make our day special. We got married in Bridal Veil Cove, a beautiful location that allowed for a more private ceremony and took pictures on Luna Island after. It wasn't the day we had originally planned, but it was a perfect day and we wouldn't change anything about it!
We got married at the Cave of the Winds in the middle of the week; it was a stunning location and not many people. Harvey and Karen were AMAZING. They were so flexible and accomodating, knowing that we had people running late on top of a last-minute change of location.
They did their absolute best to give us the best time. Both were easy to work with and did a great job of easing our nerves and making our marriage so much fun and memorable.
The ceremony was beautiful and heartfelt, and the pictures were fantastic. Karen did an outstanding job directing and selecting the best backgrounds for the best possible photos.
On a side note: Niagara falls city hall has the best attention I ever encountered in a government building. If you are coming out-of-state, like we were, definitely get your marriage license here!
I can’t express how thrilled we are with our wedding experience. We were looking for a fun, yet memorable way to get married during this pandemic and Niagara Falls Chapel delivered. Everyone was terrific and all the details were all taken care of which allowed us to concentrate on each other. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to marry around the Falls area.
Couldn't be happier!! My husband & I celebrated our 3 year anniversary together, by tying the knot. Due to the uncertainty of everything going on with the Covid-19 pandemic, we weren't sure how we were going to make our wedding possible for May 28th. Harvey was soooo helpful, informative, & courteous. I have lived in Niagara Falls NY for almost 30 years, & I had heard so much about "Niagara Falls Chapel" through working in the hospitality industry, & through friends, but to actually experience it myself was a whole separate story. I wasn't able to have 2 of the most important people in my life attend my ceremony because of the pandemic, so I was very stressed on top of having "Pre wedding jitters." Harvey arrived on his motorcycle, & made the ceremony funny, light hearted, & very beautiful. He especially made it personal & memorable for myself & my husband. It wasn't a big fancy wedding, but it was still priceless & meaningful. I highly recommend Niagara Falls Chapel for anyone, whether you want a big ceremony, or something small and intimate.
We planned to have our wedding ceremony in Niagara fall city hall, but the city clerk's office was closed during the pandemic. I thought that was it. We had to wait until everything is open again. But one day, when I was just googling Niagara Falls wedding hoping to find some nice picture for my ‘vision board’, I found Harvey and Niagara Falls Chapel. I left a message on the website, just hoped secretly they might still be open for business. Harvey got back to me very fast and we scheduled our wedding very efficiently.
The service was amazing and it was such a nice day to remember. We felt happy and comfortable. Harvey was friendly, helpful, and very professional.
We highly recommend his service.
Thank you to Harvey and Karen for all they did to help make our wedding day absolutely perfect. The ceremony was exactly what we were looking for, simple but meaningful, and the photography was professional and fun. The package is an amazing value and we loved the Giacomo hotel Harvey recommended. It was a pleasure meeting both of you and we feel very lucky to have found you.
It was an amazing experience!
We were married by Harvey on October 4th, 2019. Harvey came to our venue at Samuel's Grande Manor and married us at the gazebo outside. He also came to our rehearsal the day before to go through the plan and practice our hand fasting ceremony. Harvey was very open to suggestions and able to work with us to figure out exactly how we wanted our ceremony to go. He was very professional, punctual, and knew when to keep things light. We both appreciated his humor when we were stressed! He also had a great suggestion for our videographer, Marc Barone. We highly recommend Harvey's services to any couple ready to tie the knot!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Harvey and the Niagara Falls Chapel.
As a second marriage for both of us, we wanted something relaxed, but still special. I had always wanted to get married under fireworks, but we couldn't find a single justice willing to perform the ceremony at 10pm. Harvey - and his photographer - had no problem accommodating us (even though they had VERY early mornings the next day).
Never having been in the area, we relied on his recommendation for a location, which was perfect. He even modified his written ceremony, which was exactly the tone and style we asked for, to insert space for us to do a couple of our own readings. On top of all that, we found them to be very affordable at a time when that was a key consideration.
It is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime... I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Incredibly kind and very patient! I had so many questions and felt they were all answered to ease any worry I had. Very flexible too and even made last minute changes to fit the type of ceremony we hoped to have! Absolute pleasure to work with and would absolutely recommend!
I absolutely 100% recommend Harvey and his assistant photographer, Karen! We traveled to Niagara Falls from Cincinnati Ohio to elope. I contacted Harvey a little more than 3wks before our wedding date and he responded quickly, confirming availability for our day. We exchanged a few emails working out details and the day came and went without a hitch! The weather was expected to begin raining a few hours after our ceremony, but it started right before. Harvey offered a different location, under an awning to keep us dry, but we wanted to marry in the rain (washing away the old and all that) and they gladly obliged. Karen held an umbrella while capturing our vows, which were strong and heartfelt, and filled with sincerity and some laughs. Afterwards, it immediately stopped raining and we took photos and it was by far one of my favorite LIFE experiences. I have gained weight and generally HATE HATE HATE pics being taken of me. But Karen and Harvey were so much fun, they melted all my anxiety. And holy moly the pics came out truly amazing! Not a single smile was forced or fake. In fact, the longest part was probably the one pose where I was supposed to NOT smile, but just couldn't stop! It was an absolute blast and that is thanks to Karen and Harvey. Their chemistry and humor mixed with experience and professionalism made our wedding as absolutely perfect as it could be. We'll be back and when we renew our vows, I will definitely be calling Harvey again. Utterly grateful I found him!
wonderful people, we were overjoyed with Rev Huff and hos photographer, they were funny, kind and caring, made it so easy and smooth, and the photos, WOW
Harvey and Karen are just the best! They both really made our whole wedding so perfect. They are very professional, and so easy to work with, a great team together providing excellent experience all arround. I loved having them at our wedding their personalities go very well together and everything was just shi natural and beautiful, and awesomely done.
We are beyond satisfied, and immensely grateful.

We traveled from VA to have our wedding and only emailed back and forth a few times, but Harvey was very helpful and responsive. We had called a few other places and no one responded and I am thankful now. They were very professional and fun and made our day perfect. It was as if we had met them before. They know what they are doing and it shows.
Harvey and Karen we absolutely amazing! They provide such a personalized service that makes you feel so comfortable and makes your wedding day a dream come true. Harvey was always available and helpful in answering our questions. Highly recommend!

Couldn’t have been happier with our choice to use Harvey and the Niagara Falls Chapel. Due to an unexpected emergency, Harvey couldn’t perform our ceremony, what he did do though was make us feel completely at ease with his replacement. We had the contact name/ number for the photographer and the information for the judge who stepped in for Harvey. They in turn had all our information and reached out to us to confirm all the information. Our wedding day dawned with heavy thunderstorms and happy vibes... we arrived at our meeting location in Niagara Falls State Park, we knew we would have to adjust the location of our ceremony due to the on and off rain showers. To our surprise and delight the Judge and the photographer had all ready discussed alternative locations and the ceremony was beautiful. Karen, our photographer took wonderful pictures of the ceremony, and formal & informal poses afterwards, her suggestions for locations, poses look great (we just picked out of photos). She was a blast to work with, being an untraditional couple, she rolled with it and laughed with us. Great ceremony, photos, customer service and price. Definitely recommend Harvey and the Niagara Falls Wedding Chapel.
We just wanted something down to earth and about us as a couple. We got that I’m very happy with the photos the video and in general how the day went. We would do it again!
We got married on a windy day in April and Harvey and Karen were just fantastic! They gave the best advice on location and how to get the best pictures possible. Harvey performed a beautifully written ceremony and they made our day just great!
My wife and I got married this past October and everything with Niagara Falls Chapel was great! Communication was quick and responsive and the ceremony was done professionally and very low-key (which is what we wanted). I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great way to get married at Niagara Falls with very little stress!
My husband and I were married July 2018 on the Maid of the Mist. Harvey and team were so helpful in making sure that we had a beautiful day to remember. Harvey worked with us to write the ceremony and took feedback to create exactly what we wanted. The team was helpful in organizing our day together and even thought of small details, such as time of day, weather, placement on the boat so we could remain dry, and logistics of beating the long lines of tourists. The photographs from Harvey and the team captured the joy and happiness we were both feeling perfectly as well as the beautiful background of the falls. I would highly recommend the service to all couples hoping to get married at Niagara Falls.
A very good experience. Photos were great and the cost very reasonable. We were very pleased. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
