St. Andrews by-the-Sea

You wake up on your wedding day...

…to a light ocean breeze coming through your window. You’ve got a busy day of preparations before the ceremony and you’re excited for your team of world-class wedding professionals to arrive one after another to make your day perfect.

You’re especially happy knowing that your wedding guests are loving their leisurely morning. Many of them are strolling down St. Andrews’ main street browsing the boutiques and galleries. Others are just finishing breakfast at the diner and planning a walkout on the wharf. Some are heading out for an experience at the aquarium, and there’s a group exploring the blockhouse. And of course, your fiancée is already on the first green with that half of the wedding party at the golf course.

As you breathe in the salty air and look out your window at a postcard-worthy scene, you smile and think to yourself…

…How great a decision was this?

The perfect wedding destination

St. Andrews by-the-Sea is located on a picturesque peninsula in southeastern New Brunswick. It’s Canada’s oldest seaside resort town. Surrounded on three sides by Fundy, its setting celebrates the ocean and offers a wide range of adventures for you and your wedding guests: whale watching, hiking, discovering marine life, driving on the ocean floor, and combing the beach together.

Talented chefs inspired by fresh local seafood and produce have turned St. Andrews into a foodie’s dream for a wedding getaway. The cafes, pubs, and restaurants offer a variety of dining experiences for your family and friends to enjoy: from a simple-yet-delicious fish and chips one evening to a decadent lobster dinner the next.

Musicians, artists, and artisans abound, so you’ll want to organize some fantastic outings for your group! Stroll through Kingsbrae Gardens and admire the stunning combination of art and horticulture. Head down to one of the town’s pubs to take in local music. Visit the shops and boutiques and marvel at the unique works of local artists.

And as for where everyone might stay, the town offers everything from luxurious resorts like The Algonquin to cozy B&Bs, lovely inns, oceanfront campgrounds, and rustic seaside resorts. It’s just an hour from the airport, a few hours’ drive from all the large cities on the East Coast, and minutes from the American border. Wherever you’re coming from, St. Andrews “By-the-Sea” is the perfect place for your dream Maritime destination wedding!
