Weddings
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. Still dreaming of a 2024 wedding? We have two dates remaining. Drop us a line at hello@theaugusthouse.ca and let’s chat possibilities!
Questions & Answers
Can we have a ceremony on site?
Yes! We have a number of different options for ceremonies, depending on your style and number of guests.
- In 2024 we will officially open The Moon Lawn, a covered timbre-framed building that can accommodate outdoor ceremonies for most weddings that will be held at The August House. We're still putting the final touches on this new addition, but if you'd like to learn more, please reach out to us at hello@theaugusthouse.ca. Please note: this space is not currently available for receptions.
- Myrtle's Common Lounge is a beautiful option for small, intimate indoor ceremonies.
- The Terrace Garden at the front of the house is a wonderful (uncovered) outdoor option for weddings ~35 people (the house becomes a beautiful backdrop!).
What are your rates?
Please see our package here for weekend and weekday rates.
Do I have to book the whole property for my wedding?
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.
Can I bring my own caterer? And do you have a kitchen?
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!
Can I bring my own alcohol?
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.
Do you rent tables/chairs/linens/AV?
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.
Can I bring in a DJ and what is required?
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.
What are the required event end times?
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.
Do you have parking?
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.
