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

Although I am sure there are hundreds, for “wonderful venue” and “help with the planning”, for my money, go “Pier 21” for a large one, and “Tall Ship Silva” for something smaller.
Advice from a recent bride? Get it all in writing from your caterer, venue, vendors, etc. and assign someone to handle the inevitable “issues” that will arise no matter how organized you are. And don’t make it a member of the wedding party – this should be someone else – someeone VERY organized and able to handle high-stress environments. 🙂
