We are looking forward to having everyone here in Nova Scotia for our big day. However, we will not be able to accommodate everyone by providing transportation to and from the airport, as well as, to and from the venue. There are many modes of transportation (bus, taxi, rental car) from Halifax International Airport, which is approximately 25-30 mins outside the city. We recommend getting yourself a rental car to be able to explore the city while you’re here. Plus, a car will come in handy to get to our venue, which is approximately 45 mins outside the city. If you have any questions or need help with directions, please contact us by email.
