Regional Feature
Atlantic Canada
Coastline, weather, and the warmest guest lists in the country.
Atlantic Canada weddings have a particular warmth. Guests arrive as acquaintances and leave as friends, often after a kitchen party that lasts well past midnight.
The settings are extraordinary: lighthouses, rocky shores, fishing villages, historic inns and farms that roll toward the sea. Summer and early autumn are the favoured seasons, when evenings are long and the coastal air is mild.
Plan for the ocean's mood. Fog can roll in quickly and lift just as fast, so a covered option is wise. Lean into the local table, with lobster, scallops, oysters and regional wines and ciders, and give guests a reason to stay for the whole weekend.
