Thinking of having your wedding in Halifax? LET ME TELL YOU WHY YOU SHOULD. In the form of 6 undeniable reasons. 🙂
Halifax is a picturesque city that offers a perfect blend of history and beauty. The east coast is like no other. It is a fantastic location for a wedding, now let me blow ya mind with concrete proof!
Halifax is surrounded by stunning natural beauty. You have everything from rugged coastline, fairytale forests, epic rocky cliffs and waterfalls on waterfalls on waterfalls. You and your partner will be able to exchange vows in front of breathtaking views that you’ll cherish forever.
One of my favourite things about Halifax is that the downtown area is legit right on the ocean. The Halifax Harbour is one of the largest and deepest in the world, which makes for fantastic views and some seriously awesome ocean culture. The waterfront aesthetic is stunning, and you can even have your wedding right on it! But if you’re not into the hustle and bustle of the waterfront, there are beautiful natural parks all over the city along the coastline where you can have your wedding, too!
There is SO MUCH to choose from, I just can’t even. Nova Scotia has everything from oceanside resort venues with adorable cottages, to fancy hotels, to seaside French-inspired Villas, to downtown breweries, and more! And that east coast charm is no joke, the level of service you get the from venues here is next level, and we can’t hype them up enough!
