A Joyful Gay Wedding at Shandon’s Moonshine Cabin with…Keenan & Spencer’s
Planning a gay wedding that truly reflects who you are as a couple is something magical—and Keenan and Spencer’s celebration at Shandon’s Moonshine Cabin at Hubbards Campground and Cottages in Nova Scotia was nothing short of unforgettable. With ocean views, film-set charm, vibrant colours, and a ceremony overflowing with emotion, their two-groom wedding captured everything beautiful about love, authenticity, and joy.
A Film-Set Wedding Venue in Nova Scotia
One of the most unique parts of their wedding was their venue choice: Shandon’s, Moonshine Cabin, located at Hubbards Campground and Cottages. What many don’t know is that this stunning ocean-view location is actually a working film set.
Originally built for the CBC show Moonshine and later used for filming Sullivan’s Crossing (Season 4), the cabin offered the rustic charm, natural beauty, and cinematic atmosphere perfect for their celebration.
Keenan’s mom—who works as a 1st Assistant Director and was part of both productions—made the location possible. And although the film set required some creative planning (no electricity, no running water!), the couple wouldn’t have changed a thing.
It was beautiful. It was personal. And it reflected their family’s connection to the film industry—making it even more meaningful.
How Keenan & Spencer Met: A Modern Love Story
Not every great love story starts with a romantic movie moment—sometimes, it begins in the most unexpectedly perfect place.
Keenan and Spencer first crossed paths in a Facebook group dedicated to an anime convention in Toronto. They added each other but didn’t speak for months… until one simple “hey” changed everything.
That small message sparked a connection that grew into laughter, friendship, love, and the incredible life they now share. Their relationship began in a digital world, but the bond they built has been nothing short of real-world magic.
The Ceremony: Their Favourite Moment of the Day
When asked what their favourite part of their wedding was, both Keenan and Spencer instantly agreed: the ceremony.
Seeing their closest friends and family gathered around them as they exchanged promises was overwhelmingly emotional. Standing together in that moment—committing their lives to each other, celebrating their journey, and feeling the support of everyone they loved—created a sense of connection and joy they describe as “inexplicable.”
A Wedding Theme Filled With Colour, Light, and Joy
Keenan and Spencer didn’t choose a traditional theme; instead, they focused on something deeper: joy.
Guests were encouraged to wear outfits that made them feel happy. Bright colours, fun patterns, and expressive fashion filled the space—creating a warm, lively, inclusive atmosphere that embraced the spirit of their LGBTQ+ wedding.
The result was a celebration that looked and felt like pure love.
Their Advice to Newly Engaged Couples
The couple had one major piece of advice for anyone planning a wedding—especially a destination, same-sex, or out-of-province celebration:
“If you can afford to, GET A WEDDING PLANNER.”
They credit Keenan’s mom for keeping things organized and stress-free. Without her experience and support, the process would have been far more overwhelming. And if a full planner isn’t in your budget, they recommend investing in a detailed wedding planning book to help you stay on track.
Because ultimately, planning your wedding should feel exciting—not exhausting.
A Celebration of Love, Community, and Authenticity
Keenan and Spencer’s wedding at Moonshine Cabin was everything a wedding should be: heartfelt, colourful, emotional, and deeply personal. From their quirky online meeting to their unforgettable ocean-view ceremony, their story is a beautiful reminder that love finds us in unexpected ways—and that every couple deserves a wedding that reflects who they truly are.
Their day was filled with joy.
Their vows were filled with meaning.
And their future together is bright.
Congratulations, Keenan & Spencer—your love story is one worth celebrating.
