I'm looking for recommendations for a great officiant, that is reasonably priced as well as we are on a very tight budget. I can't seem to find very many resources! —Shan
Hi! So I've been on the search for a wedding venue for a little while, and having no luck (well, no luck in terms of find a budget-friendly venue that is!) There are some gorgeous ones, but WAY out of our league price-wise.. We're looking for even just a beautiful ceremony space, not too costly, and thinking of renting a hall/incorporating a lot of DIY elements for our reception. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :) —Nicole
Details: I'm having trouble finding venues that will allow us to bring in our own liquor, specifically homemade wines. We're both adamant that we be allowed to bring in our own wines and other liquor, as the expense of venue-provided stuff is stupid, and there's a sentimental attachment to having wine from our parents (including a tasting/mixing ceremony we want to do). —A Yarmouthian and an Islander —Nicole
Hi all,
I am considering having someone make my dress. Can anyone recommend a dressmaker or tailor in the Halifax area who would be good at this? —Laura
Looking for information on anyone that can mainly do mobile hair & makeup if possible. It's for an October 20th wedding. If you know of anyone mainly for hair, that would be great help. —Amy
My fiancé and I are looking for a venue that can hold about 200 people. Our preference would be to have a bar on site and bring in catering of our choice. I'm noticing that most venues try and do their own catering and we don't want that. —Tracy
We are having a low-key cottage wedding where family and friends will be performing (kitchen partyish) so we don't want to do the DJ/Band thing. I'm not big on the idea of using random iPods and love the old-time feel of the jukebox. Can't seem to find any for rental---help?! Thank you. —MissKitty
I plan on getting married in Halifax and my father uses a wheelchair. My fiance and I would like to get married in a church (preferably Anglican) with a different reception venue. Does anyone know which churches/venues are wheelchair accessible? —Rebecca
I am looking for some ideas for a romantic, non-religious location for a summer wedding ceremony. Does anyone know of any beautiful old buildings or outdoor locations that would make good wedding ceremony locations? —Planning bride
Has anyone had any great experiences planning a "destination" wedding in Nova Scotia? Know of any picturesque locations in our fair province that have included a wonderful venue and helped with the planning? Let us know! —Stephanie Johns
