Fox Harb’r Resort is a wedding banquet hall located in Wallace, Nova Scotia. Perched along the rocky shores of Northumberland’s East Coast, it boasts views of the water. An all-encompassing space, it combines charm with high-quality service to create a property that lives up to milestone occasions. As such, it would be ideal for hosting ceremonies, receptions, and a range of other festivities.
Facilities and Capacity
Owing to its nature-inspired appeal, Fox Harb’r Resort offers many places from which to enjoy breath-taking views. The Lower Patio that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean would be a fitting place for to-be-weds to gather with up to 150 guests as they say “I do”. Here, chairs can be arranged for the wedding party while a makeshift gazebo can be erected for the couple of honour. After applause rings out, everybody can take in the grounds. A short tour down to the eye-catching Lighthouse Terrace affords everyone the chance to enjoy a cocktail hour on the water. After refreshments and some catch-up chatter, the guests can make their way towards the reception space as the big-day meal approaches.
The Meeting Facility offers 5,000 square feet of space, and it includes a number of diverse spaces for different functions. The 2,700 square-foot Northumberland Room ballroom is arguably the jewel in the crown of this property. It can accommodate approximately 175 guests. This building also boasts a sizable foyer which is ideal as extra space. When night approaches, the terrace can host late-night drinks beneath the stars as the sound of the ocean mingles with the making of memories. Other parts of this maritime-inspired property include the Cape Cliff Dining Room, Sporting Lodge, and Hangar. In addition, a tented reception can be arranged for those who want to bring the outdoors in. An onsite vineyard also adds to the property’s overall appeal.

Cuisine
Culinary experts at Fox Harb’r Resort are delighted to create a memorable dining experience for all. As such, they offer a variety of menus including plated, buffet, dessert, and bespoke options. The onsite kitchen is where the gastronomic genius happens, with several dishes inspired by the venue’s proximity to the ocean, such as the mouth-watering lobster.
We had a lot of family and friends travelling from out of province, and wanted to give them a destination experience showcasing the best Nova Scotia had to offer, and Fox Harb’r was exactly that. The whole grounds is meticulously kept and absolutely beautiful, and our friends and families enjoyed all the available activities leading up to our wedding. Sometimes hard to get a hold of during the off season, the staff was very helpful and attentive once we were on site, and made our whole day go so smoothly.

Hello Tara! Thank you so much for posting a review for your Fox Harb'r "destination" wedding here on WeddingWire. We pride ourselves on showcasing Nova Scotia oceanside beauty, outdoor activities and genuine hospitality. So, we're delighted your travelling guests were able to enjoy it all. And it might have taken us a bit longer to respond when getting ready to open for our May-through-October season. But it's our mission to be "very helpful and attentive" to all our Fox Harb'r visitors. We also really appreciate you noticing our groundskeepers' "absolutely beautiful" work. Will pass that comment along. Warm regards to you both, from Fox Harb'r.
