White Point Beach Resort

Last reviewed: August 12, 2026. Business status: Active.

White Point Beach Resort weddings are offered at a Hunt’s Point, Nova Scotia resort with lakeside, oceanside and indoor event settings. The official wedding information describes options for oceanside ceremonies, indoor receptions and lawn cocktail hours, while the broader event offering includes seaside, lakeside and fireside venues.

For couples considering a multi-day coastal celebration, White Point also publishes on-property accommodation and wedding-weekend options such as rehearsal dinners and farewell brunches. Its wedding FAQ provides useful planning details on capacity, food and beverage rules, deposits and selected fees; availability and a complete quote still require a proposal from the resort.

Services and specialization

White Point Beach Resort is a resort venue with a dedicated wedding offering. Its official wedding page refers to lakeside lawns, an oceanfront ballroom, oceanside ceremonies, indoor receptions and lawn cocktail hours. The resort’s event page also identifies seaside, lakeside and fireside venues, giving couples several types of setting to discuss with the event team.

The resort can host wedding-related gatherings beyond the main celebration. Its official wedding-events page specifically lists rehearsal dinners, farewell brunches, showers and stag-do’s. For food service, the wedding FAQ says couples may choose plated dinners, buffets or a stand-up reception with hors d’oeuvres; all food and beverage must be catered by White Point Beach Resort, with wedding cake as the stated exception.

• Ceremonies, receptions and cocktail-hour settings
• Rehearsal dinners, farewell brunches, showers and stag-do’s
• Plated, buffet and hors d’oeuvres reception formats
• Resort-catered food and beverage; outside wedding cake permitted

Service area and who it may suit

The resort’s official website lists 75 White Point #2 Road, Hunt’s Point, Nova Scotia, Canada B0T 1G0. This profile is most relevant to couples seeking a South Shore resort venue where the ceremony, reception and guest stay may be coordinated at one property.

White Point may suit couples planning an indoor or outdoor celebration who want guests to have resort accommodation nearby. The official site lists rooms and cottages, lakeside glomes, oceanfront treehouses, vacation homes and the Ocean Lodge. The wedding FAQ says overnight guests are welcome and notes a two-night minimum booking policy for accommodations; it recommends arranging a room block as early as possible.

• Potential on-property accommodation for wedding guests
• Useful for multi-day celebrations and related gatherings

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the range of wedding settings. The official information names the Atlantic Room, Lakeside Hall, an oceanside lawn and smaller options such as Crow’s Nest. For an outdoor ceremony, the resort provides a rain location; if weather changes, it says a reception space, or part of it, can be reset for the ceremony and then dinner.

The official FAQ states that banquet space can accommodate anything from an intimate gathering to a full sit-down dinner for 180 people. It also says the resort has more than 7,200 square feet of meeting and indoor event space. These are published venue features, not independent quality assessments.

There are practical restrictions to consider. Ceremonies cannot be held on the sand beach because of tides, uneven surfaces and safety concerns; the resort instead offers a lawn in front of the Ocean Lodge with an Atlantic Ocean backdrop. White Point does not provide decorating services, and fireworks, sparklers and drone photography are not permitted on the property.

• Indoor reception capacity published up to 180 for a sit-down dinner
• Oceanside ceremony lawn with a rain location
• Beach-sand ceremonies are not offered
• Decorating, fireworks, sparklers and drone photography are restricted

Pricing

Current wedding package pricing is not explicitly published. Couples should request a written proposal that reflects their date, guest count, selected venue, food and beverage plan, accommodation needs and any seasonal minimums.

The official wedding FAQ does publish some wedding-specific figures. An outdoor ceremony costs $6,500 plus 15% HST and is available to couples hosting their reception on site. The stated inclusions are an oceanside ceremony and rain location, chair set-up and dismantling with a centre aisle, a sound system with a corded microphone, and a technician to play music from a compatible device.

The same FAQ states a minimum food purchase of $58 per person before taxes and taxable service charge, plus a $1,000 minimum bar-sales requirement before taxes and taxable service charge for each bar location. It says set-up, labour and room-rental fees do not apply if those minimums are met. Venue rental varies by season, and seasonal minimums may apply.

• Minimum food purchase: $58 per person before taxes and taxable service charge

Contact and booking

White Point Beach Resort lists 1-800-565-5068 ext. 1 for event enquiries and proposal requests. The official website has dedicated Weddings and Plan an Event pathways, which are the appropriate starting points for a venue enquiry.

The resort requires a non-refundable $2,500 deposit to confirm a wedding date. Its FAQ says a second deposit is required 12 to 6 months before the wedding, depending on booking date and season, and that the projected balance is due two weeks before the event. Confirm the current contract and payment terms before committing, as they can change.

What couples should confirm

Ask which spaces are available on the preferred date and whether the Atlantic Room, Lakeside Hall, oceanside lawn or Crow’s Nest is the best fit for the guest count and event sequence. Confirm room layout, accessible routes, weather procedures, set-up times and any seasonal venue minimums. The site says receptions are held in the Atlantic Room or Lakeside Hall, while smaller ceremonies may have other options.

Clarify catering menus, dietary requirements, bar configuration, service charges, taxes and music licensing fees. White Point’s banquet spaces are licensed, so guests cannot supply their own alcohol or wine. The FAQ says the bar can remain open until 12:00 a.m., and outdoor activities must end by 11:00 p.m.

For guest stays, confirm room-block size, release date, the two-night minimum, accessible-room availability and which accommodation categories can be reserved for the group. Also request the current cancellation, postponement, vendor and décor rules in writing.

• Date, venue layout, capacity and weather plan
• Catering, bar rules, fees and music licensing
• Accommodation block and accessibility needs
• Current contract, cancellation and vendor requirements
