Falling in Love in Niagara is a Hallmark romance movie in Hallmark’s 2024 annual programming event Spring into Love, preceded by Branching Out and succeeded by Legend of the Lost Locket.
Directed by Marita Grabiak and written by Carley Smale, the rom-com movie takes place in the serene setting of Niagara Falls and the exact shooting was also done at the same place, a rare sight.
The film is produced by Josie Fitzgerald (Yes Chef Christmas) under Johnson Production Group while the distribution rights are handled by Hallmark Channel in the US and W Network in Canada.
Falling in Love in Niagara Falls Plot
The movie starts with a sad note when a woman named Madeline loses hope to pursue her dreams of becoming martial arts expert, as her fiancé Jason Reid abruptly calls off their wedding at the final moment.
However, Madeline’s divorced sister Harley convinced her to go on that pre-paid, non-refundable honeymoon trip to the beautiful resort of Niagara.
As the girls approached to the tour’s company office on another day, Madeline realized that their tour guide for the week is Mike Holis, the same man with whom she had a less pleasant encounter the day before.
Somehow Mike is able to convince Madeline to change the itinerary to incorporate adventure activities to teach Jason a lesson that she is not totally stuck in her box.
As Mike and Madeline travels, the former opens about his two year old heartache and the romance blossoms.

Moreover, Niagara Falls has been a popular honeymoon and wedding destination for a long time because of its natural beauty and romance in the air.
Things to do in Niagara falls
