Farm at South Cove Elopement Event

The Farm at South Cove Elopement Event is returning, and we’re thrilled to invite you to be part of this extraordinary experience. After last season’s sell-out success, we knew this magical celebration deserved an encore. Thoughtfully designed to blend effortless elegance with heartfelt connection, this event offers couples a stress-free, intimate wedding day filled with meaningful moments. From stunning details to the serene beauty of one of Nova Scotia’s most picturesque venues, every element is crafted to transform your elopement into an unforgettable memory. Read on to discover how this unique event redefines elopement celebrations.

Imagine waking up on your wedding day with a sense of calm instead of chaos. You’re surrounded by love, not logistics and every moment feels intentionally crafted to celebrate connection. This is the experience we promise at our 2025 Elopement Event —a day that celebrates simplicity, intimacy and luxury.

Setting the Scene: Why We Created This Event

Our mission is simple: to redefine what weddings can be. When we launched last year’s elopement event, it stemmed from a desire to shift the traditional wedding narrative and inspire couples to see eloping as more than a compromise. Instead, it’s an intentional choice that prioritizes connection and meaning.

While many couples are drawn to elopements for their simplicity, they often worry about sacrificing the quality of their day. This is where we step in. By collaborating with a team of experienced, high-caliber vendors who share a passion for crafting unforgettable moments, we ensure every detail exceeds expectations. Furthermore, The Farm at South Cove, our stunning venue, provides breathtaking ocean views that would ordinarily be out of reach for many couples renting for a full day. Through this event, we bridge that gap, making dream elopements both accessible and extraordinary.

Farm at South Cove Elopement Event: Ease & Intimacy

Our day begins in the charming on-site farmhouse, where you’ll enjoy 1.5 hours of pampering with our exceptional hair and makeup team, Jacquelyn Taylor and Selena Marchand. This quiet, intimate time is often a favourite for our couples, as their expert care sets a calm and celebratory tone for the day. The farmhouse’s cozy yet sophisticated ambiance seamlessly blends comfort with elegance, making your preparations feel like a meaningful part of the celebration.

Next, you’ll transition to your ceremony, set against the stunning backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean and the meticulously maintained property. Here, your vows become the centerpiece of a heartfelt moment shared with up to 12 of your closest friends and family. By keeping the guest list intentionally small, the focus remains on the deep connection between you and your partner as you exchange promises.

Afterward, your guests are thoughtfully included in portraits, guided by Michelle Gates, our remarkable wedding planner. Once portraits are complete, your guests depart to their off-site reception, giving you and your partner a quiet, romantic opportunity to explore the property during a couples photography session. This time allows you to savor the moment while capturing images that beautifully reflect your day.
