Best Western Plus Chocolate Lake Hotel

At Best Western Plus Chocolate Lake Hotel, a wedding unfolds beside the quiet water of Chocolate Lake, only minutes from downtown Halifax.

The lakeside setting is the heart of the place. The shoreline and the water make a lovely backdrop for wedding photos, and many of the guest rooms look out over the lake.

Receptions are held in the Lakeview Ballroom, a bright room lined with windows that opens onto a seasonal patio. Past couples have also held their ceremony outdoors and taken their photos by the lake when the weather allowed.

A professional banquet team guides couples through the planning, and the kitchen prepares carefully planned menus. Couples have praised everything from plated wedding dinners to a fully vegan celebration with a taco bar.

The hotel has 141 guest rooms, including eight suites, each with a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker, so family and friends can stay right where the party is.

Guests can unwind at the Lakeside Bar & Grill overlooking the water, swim in the indoor pool and enjoy a free hot breakfast the next morning before exploring downtown Halifax.

For couples who picture saying yes with a lake view and celebrating close to the city without the bustle, Best Western Plus Chocolate Lake offers a wedding that feels calm, warm and easy for everyone.
