My Favorite Rustic Barn Wedding Venues Nova Scotia
If you don’t know already, I LOVE rustic barn wedding venues in Nova Scotia! It only took me twelve years to discover how much I love rustic style weddings, barn or otherwise. Infact, many of these locations I am about to share are on my bucket list. If you’re planning a barn style wedding we absolutely have to chat! Even if I’ve already shot a wedding at your venue, we need to chat! This is going to be one of those blog posts that will always be “in progress”! Any rates or capacity numbers listed are current when this blog post first published but are subjected to change at any time.
Barn Wedding Venues
Old Orchard Inn Heritage Barn, Wolfville NS
This barn style venue was new to me in 2019 and I absolutely fell in LOVE with the grounds! The Old Orchard Inn is located in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, only an hour drive from Halifax.
The barn was amazing. I loved all the rustic memorabilia hanging from the ceiling. It has a serious barnyard feeling. I was in heaven photographing this wedding, truly in my element.
When I was scouting the grounds in the morning I knew I was taking Tamara and Frankie to the apple tree orchard. It was absolutely breath taking and did not disappoint! I also loved the fact that they had a lot of urban style buildings on their grounds too. Having urban and park settings in one location is just a dream for me. Not only do you have the forest, the urban but you also have their huge uncut wild flower field to play with. This venue truly is a wedding photographer’s dream!

Hatfield Farms, Halifax NS
Hatfield Farms is located right here in the HRM. If you are really looking for rustic barn weding venue close to Halifax this is the place. I loved the entire grounds at Hatfield Farms, it’s so rustic! The outdoor ceremony grounds with white wedding arch style trellis, overlooks a beautiful lake. Of course, I personally, love the horse drawn carriage! These images are from a wedding back in 2009 but that horse and carriage wedding photography image is still one of my all time favorites! That’s the way to make an entrance to your wedding ceremony.
Rustic Barn Style Wedding Venues
Lower Deck Tap Room, Halifax NS
Looking for a barn yard feel for your wedding but you don’t want to leave Halifax? The Lower Deck Tap Room might be just what you are looking for. Located in downtown Halifax right on the waterfront, it has a very rustic barn feel to it.
Love the balcony view as well for wedding photography. As it is right on the waterfront, you have the historic properties right at your fingertips for your wedding photos. The historic properties are one of my favorite places to do wedding photography photos at. There is so much to play with, rod iron and wooden benches, green viens over concrete walls, stone, brick and cedar walls. Too much to mention. If you love an urban and barn feel this is a venue you need to check out.

Murphy’s Cable Wharf, Halifax NS
Another great rustic barn like wedding venue within Halifax, Murphy’s Cable Wharf. It is located right downtown Halifax at the foot of George Street. It also has beautiful huge windows overlooking the Halifax Harbour, so you get the rustic feel with the ocean views! I love the hanging lights so much! Another venue close to the historic properties as well.
Memory Lane Heritage Village, Lake Charlotte NS
Memory Lane Heritage Village is another great rustic wedding venues with a twist-antique automobiles and gas pumps! They also have a few rustic barns , a swing within the trees and a creek running on the property. Lots of options for formal wedding party pictures.
