Stepping onto the grounds of Fox Harb’r Resort feels like entering a hidden world of luxury, nature, and cinematic beauty. Nestled along Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Strait in the quiet village of Wallace, this exclusive destination offers dramatic oceanfront views, world-class amenities, and an air of serenity that sets it apart. From fiery sunsets to a lighthouse marina and even horseback trails, Fox Harb’r is where East Coast charm meets five-star indulgence — making it one of Canada’s most unforgettable wedding venues.

Why Choose Fox Harb’r Resort for Your Wedding?

Originally named for the foxes that still roam the grounds, Fox Harb’r Resort blends natural elegance with refined experiences. Set on 1,100 acres of private coastal land, the venue is home to a championship golf course famously played by Tiger Woods, a scenic marina with a lighthouse, a luxury spa, equestrian facilities, and even a private runway and hangar for guests arriving by air.

Whether you’re planning a small seaside elopement or a full wedding weekend, Fox Harb’r offers a complete retreat experience. You’ll find rocky cliffs perfect for coastal ceremonies, lush meadows and gardens, and unique indoor options like the new Joyce Centre and cozy Hunting Lodge. The level of care, customization, and calm the resort provides makes it an ideal choice for couples who want both elegance and ease.

And despite its high-end reputation, Fox Harb’r also offers accessible packages — like their thoughtfully designed elopement experience, which includes accommodations, dinner, cake, and photography for up to 18 guests. It's luxury without pretension.

Guest Experience

Guests at Fox Harb’r often describe the experience as both peaceful and extraordinary. The venue’s remote location offers total privacy, while its amenities ensure a comfortable, immersive stay. There’s ample on-site accommodation, from guest houses to townhomes, and every room is outfitted with luxe details and scenic views.

The resort’s many activity options turn a wedding into a full weekend experience: guests can golf, horseback ride, kayak, enjoy the spa, or try their hand at clay shooting or archery. With everything in one place, guests can relax and soak in the beauty of Nova Scotia’s coast without ever needing to leave the property.

Accessibility is also top-tier, with well-designed pathways, generous parking, and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor event spaces — including patios, ballrooms, and waterfront ceremony locations.

A Photographer’s Perspective

From a photographer’s lens, Fox Harb’r is an absolute dream.

Golden-hour sunsets over the Northumberland Strait light the entire property in a warm, romantic glow. The rocky shoreline provides dramatic coastal backdrops, while features like the lighthouse, vineyards, stone bridges, pine forests, and manicured golf course offer a wide range of photographic styles — from editorial elegance to rustic charm.

For couples seeking variety in their gallery, this venue delivers. There are wide open meadows for ethereal portraits, covered bridges for cozy moments, and even a yacht available for intimate water-based weddings. It’s hard to overstate how effortless it is to find gorgeous photo opportunities here.

Even in rainy or cooler weather, Fox Harb’r performs beautifully. Indoor spaces like the Joyce Centre and Hunting Lodge are cozy, elegant, and filled with natural light. Winter weddings, foggy mornings, and overcast skies all work in the venue’s favour, adding depth and atmosphere to your photos.

“It’s one of those places where nature does half the work for you. Everything just feels effortless and magical.”

Jeff + Amira: Editorial Elegance Meets Golden-Hour Magic

Reception at the Hunting Lodge with a surprise guest

Jeff and Amira began their day in separate accommodations — Amira in a guest house, Jeff in a townhouse. Their elegant, editorial wedding was perfectly timed for a golden-hour ceremony, followed by a private 5-course dinner at the Sporting Lodge. The night took a memorable turn when a bear showed up outside the window to “congratulate” the couple — a wild, unforgettable moment! Jeff even brought his film camera along, capturing his own behind-the-scenes shots. Fun fact: one of their close family members was actually the photographer’s high school teacher, making the day feel even more special.

Jessica + Francois: Elegant, Intimate, and Family-Focused

Their ceremony took place on the spa patio with a sweeping ocean view, followed by an outdoor dinner bathed in golden light. The reception moved indoors to the ballroom for dancing and cocktails. Their classic, refined style — paired with the presence of their baby and the warmth of the space — created a timeless celebration that was both deeply personal and incredibly photogenic.
