Halifax Wedding Venues: Your Wedding Venue Planning Guide for Halifax and Beyond

Though Halifax is the capital city of Nova Scotia, this seaside city is known for its slow pace of life and the hospitality of the locals, proudly known as “Haligonians." There are plenty of reasons for the conviviality. Halifax is a charming city filled with heritage buildings, historical forts, and beautiful parks. On any given day, locals can wander along the Waterfront, swing into a new pub, or take in one of the city’s great museums.

Don’t let Halifax’s easy manner fool you. This is still a cosmopolitan city. That means you have lots of choices when it comes to finding wedding venues in Halifax. From museums to casinos to dazzling historic hotels, Halifax has it all. If you want even more choices, add nearby Dartmouth and Hubbards to your venue scope.

Looking for Wedding Venues in Halifax

No matter what type of wedding you want, you are likely to find just the right venue in Halifax — just make sure it fits into your wedding budget. Halifax is home to many traditional wedding venues, including posh hotels and classic mansions. These can be excellent choices, especially if you want a professional events staff and wedding packages to make planning your big day easier.

Halifax also features some intriguing options for a unique style of wedding. The city’s deep historical roots mean you can host your wedding in a heritage building in the heart of downtown or in a historic home. Keep your eyes open for other options like a fun casino or even a renowned museum.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Halifax Wedding Venue Tour

After you’ve reviewed potential Halifax wedding venues, it’s time to schedule a venue tour of your top options. This is a great opportunity to meet the venue coordinator, learn about the venue’s wedding packages, and ask lots of questions.

During the tour, clarify the venue’s capacity and its availability for your preferred wedding date(s). Next, get a quote on the price and make sure it includes any desired wedding packages. Some venues have vendors on staff (like caterers, bartenders, and DJs). Others require you to choose from an approved vendor list. Double-check on those requirements. Also see if the venue has noise, light, or décor restrictions.

Finally, pay attention to the smaller details. Does the venue have easily accessible bathrooms? Is the parking lot big enough for your full wedding party? Where will guests go after the ceremony but before the meal?

Once you’ve said yes to the venue, your wedding planning has only begun. Keep track of your tasks by creating a wedding to-do list. Next, start looking for vendors. You’ll want to hire them early. Finally, don’t wait too long to create your guest list so you can give your guests plenty of time to RSVP and make arrangements to celebrate your wedding with you. At WeddingWire, we can help you with all your wedding planning needs.
