St. Peters Courthouse Theatre

At the St. Peters Courthouse Theatre, a wedding evening can close the way summer nights often do here, with the sun going down over St. Peters Bay.

Built in 1874 as a working courthouse, the building stands on the shore of St. Peters Bay in eastern Prince Edward Island and is listed on the PEI Register of Historic Places. Today it is a not-for-profit community theatre known for live music and fine acoustics, and it opens its doors as a rental venue for weddings and events.

The main hall has an open, rustic ceiling of wooden beams, an original hardwood floor and six arched windows that fill the room with daylight. For performances it seats about 85, and the hall is air conditioned and wheelchair accessible.

Outside, a patio gives guests a front-row spot for the sunset over the bay, and a bar in the front lobby serves locally sourced drinks.

For couples who picture a small celebration in a historic hall with the bay glowing outside the windows, the St. Peters Courthouse Theatre offers a wedding that feels intimate, warm and full of Island character.
