The Westin Nova Scotian

Some wedding weekends feel like a gathering of the whole city. On the Halifax waterfront, The Westin Nova Scotian has room for exactly that kind of celebration.

The hotel offers 26,329 square feet of event space across 14 rooms, giving couples a wide range of choices for every part of the wedding.

The largest space, Commonwealth A&B, offers 8,400 square feet and can accommodate up to approximately 790 guests for a reception or around 520 for a banquet. The Atlantic Ballroom, which the hotel describes as a timeless and romantic wedding venue, seats around 240 for a banquet.

Smaller rooms such as the Harbour Suite, the Terrace, Tradewinds and Elements lend themselves to rehearsal dinners, cocktail hours or next-day brunches.

Marriott Certified Wedding Planners guide couples through the details, from setting a budget, deciding on a menu and arranging table settings to finding florists, photographers, a band and other entertainment.

The team also welcomes multicultural weddings, helping couples bring their own traditions into the celebration.

With guest rooms upstairs, family and friends can stay right where the celebration happens, then wander out to the waterfront the following morning.

For couples who want a large, well-supported Halifax wedding with everyone together under one roof, The Westin Nova Scotian offers space, service and a waterfront address.
