Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron

Some wedding venues have an ocean view.

At Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, the water feels like part of the property itself.

Saraguay House sits along Halifax's Northwest Arm, creating a wedding setting surrounded by boats, shoreline and the unmistakable feeling of the coast.

Weddings here can bring together approximately 115 guests, with couples able to hold both the ceremony and reception on the property.

That makes the whole day feel connected.

Guests arrive beside the water.

The ceremony begins.

Then everyone moves toward cocktails while the newlyweds stay outside just a little longer.

For a few minutes, there is only the Northwest Arm, the boats beyond them and the person they have just married.

The reception brings everyone back together inside Saraguay House, where the waterfront remains close throughout the evening.

Dinner becomes speeches.

Speeches become music.

And eventually the windows that were filled with daylight begin reflecting the celebration instead.

For couples who want their wedding to feel elegant without losing the relaxed character of Halifax's waterfront, Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron offers something wonderfully natural.

The city nearby.

The ocean at the door.

And a wedding that feels completely at home between the two.
