St. Christopher's Hotel

At St. Christopher's Hotel, a wedding unfolds on a hillside above Port aux Basques, with a sweeping view of the harbour where the mountains meet the sea.

This 3.5 star Canada Select hotel looks out over the harbour and Scott's Cove Park, on Newfoundland's southwest coast and close to the Gulf ferry terminal that welcomes travellers to the island.

The hotel's banquet and convention space is set up for weddings, with flexible room layouts, audio and visual equipment and full catering from the kitchen. The team helps couples plan the details and arrange the day.

Meals and drinks can also be enjoyed in the Captain's Room dining room and lounge, known for local and classic dishes and fresh seafood. With 83 guest rooms and suites, out of town guests can stay right where the celebration happens.

Just steps away, the Harbour Boardwalk winds past flags shaped like ships and sails to Scott's Cove Park, where live music fills summer evenings in July and August. Nearby, guests can take a boat tour out to the lighthouse, walk beachside trails beneath the Long Range Mountains or visit the lighthouse and beaches at Cape Ray.

For couples who picture an ocean view, a friendly harbour town and their guests gathered under one roof, St. Christopher's Hotel offers a wedding with true southwest coast warmth.
