Nova Scotia is a charming destination with breathtaking coastlines, verdant valleys, and notable UNESCO heritage sites. The Candian province’s natural grandeur and beautiful sceneries create dramatic backdrops for open-air weddings. Before planning your nuptial, you must apply for a marriage license to tie the knot in Nova Scotia, which is valid for three months after it has been issued. The best part? Getting married in Canada as a temporary resident visa holder or a visitor is allowed.
Fancy having a seaside wedding? Book a lavish beach resort overlooking the lovely North Atlantic Ocean, such as Keltic Lodge at the Highlands and Oceanstone Seaside Resort. Meanwhile, there are also places such as Beaver Creek Vineyard and Winegarden Estate for couples who prefer an exclusive winery or rustic barn location.
