Port Saint John Cruise Terminals

At Port Saint John, a wedding plays out against floor-to-ceiling windows and a view of the working harbour in uptown Saint John.

The port rents two waterfront spaces, the Marco Polo Cruise Terminal and the Diamond Jubilee Cruise Terminal, where couples can hold the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance all in one place.

The Diamond Jubilee has 32-foot windows and a soft palette of blues and greys that echoes the water outside. The Marco Polo blends the feel of a tall ship with an elegant ballroom, with twelve-foot Douglas fir wainscoting and warm polished concrete floors.

Every room has a view of the port city, and rooftop ceremonies or cocktail hours can be arranged. Pier access for photos is sometimes possible with approval.

The spaces hold groups of up to 400, and wedding packages include an early setup time, dancing until 1:30 a.m. and uptown parking for guests. Food is provided by one of the port's three exclusive caterers.

For couples who picture ships, sea air and a big party by the harbour, Port Saint John offers a wedding with a true port city setting.
