We want your wedding experience to be full of comfort and ease. We’ve created beautiful, simple, thoughtful spaces that are easy-to-use and be in. From intimate ceremonies in our common space and outdoor cocktail receptions in the terrace garden, to our 65-person event space, Lillian Hall, we can accommodate a variety of wedding styles and approaches. Combined with our 11 beautiful rooms where your guests can lay their heads post-celebrations makes us an ideal Annapolis Valley wedding venue. Drop us a line at hello@theaugusthouse.ca and let’s chat possibilities
Our primary event space, Lillian Hall, is a light, open airy space with tall ceilings and hard wood floors. At 38′ x 26′ (about 1000 sq. ft.) it can comfortably hold 65 people seated at our 8ft wooden harvest tables (included as part of all wedding packages). For a standing cocktail reception, we can host up to 80.
Located on the main floor, Myrtle’s Common Room includes a large sitting area and library/sunroom that can easily be converted for a small cocktail reception or family rehearsal dinner.
On our charming third floor, this cozy space is ideal for wedding day preparation. Natural light, arched windows and soft seating make it ideal for makeup application and photos.
Perfect for a cocktail reception or a place to gather and nestle into Adirondack chairs around a firepit.
At 1000 sq ft, Lillian Hall can accommodate up to 65 people seated at our in-house harvest tables and 80 people standing. Please note that at 65 people, a dance floor is not possible unless furniture is removed to accommodate after dinner.
Yes! We have a number of different options for ceremonies, depending on your style and number of guests.
Please see our package here for weekend and weekday rates.
All weddings held at The August House are required to book the entire property, in most cases for two nights. Please see package for rates and details.
We have a wonderful in-house hospitality team that provides all of the catering at The August House – including on-site rehearsal dinners, day-of snacks and reception catering. This team is made up of some of the best food, beverage and service professionals in the province (we’re the luckiest to have them!). The culinary and beverage team is diverse – we have experts in everything from pastries to BBQs – and we’re happy to work with couples to create a food offering that best-fits your culinary desires!
The August House is a licensed destination, which means all event-related alcohol must be purchased and served through our hospitality team. For a full bar menu, please contact us.
As part of all wedding packages, The August House provides use of our 8 ft. wooden harvest tables, wooden crossback chairs (and linen-coloured cushions), basic white linen napkins, serviceware and glassware. Because our tables are so beautiful, we do not provide table cloths. Should you wish to have them as part of your decor, we recommend contacting our preferred rental partner, MacFarland’s. A/V equipment is not provided and would need to be rented by the couple.
Yes, you can bring a DJ. Bands with drums are not permitted, unless otherwise negotiated with The August House. In all cases, because we’re located in town with nearby neighbours, we need to follow the local noise by-law, which requires noise to drop from 65 dBA to 55 dBA at 10:00 p.m. All parties in Lillian Hall are required to wrap by midnight.
We wrap all events up by midnight so that we can ensure you have lots of time for fun and our neighbours get good night’s sleep.
There is parking available on the property and in our vacant lot across the street. There’s also street parking available for any overflow requirements.
