Last reviewed: August 11, 2026. Hatfield Farm is an active Halifax rustic wedding venue in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia. Its official wedding information describes ceremony options at a lakeside gazebo or indoors beside a stone fireplace, followed by a reception in a rustic lodge.

The venue is geared toward couples who want their ceremony and reception in one setting, with on-property transportation and overnight options for the couple and guests. Wedding pricing is quote-based rather than published as a current package total, so couples should request details for their date, guest count and preferred services.

Services and specialization

Hatfield Farm specialises in weddings and receptions in a farm setting near Halifax. Its official wedding page says ceremonies can take place outdoors at the lakeside gazebo or indoors near a stone fireplace, giving couples an on-site indoor alternative if needed.

For receptions, the venue states that its 5,000-square-foot lodge can host up to 160 people for a meal and dance. It says the wedding feast is catered from its on-site professional kitchen, with beef, chicken, salmon and vegetarian entrée choices listed.

Hatfield Farm also states that it provides linens, dishes, cutlery, glassware, service and cleanup. A DJ, sound system and cordless microphone for speeches are listed for the reception, while a Justice of the Peace may be provided or couples may bring their own officiant.

Service area and who it may suit

Hatfield Farm is located at 1840 Hammonds Plains Rd., Hammonds Plains, NS B4P 1P4. The official site describes it as minutes from Halifax and as a wedding venue near Halifax, making it a local option for couples seeking a rural setting in the Halifax Regional Municipality area.

It may suit couples who prefer a ceremony, meal and dance at one venue. The official wedding FAQ describes horse-drawn transportation for guests to the ceremony location and an antique horse-drawn carriage for the bride, except during winter months.

The property may also be relevant for celebrations with overnight guests. The official site lists cabin rooms, bunkhouses and tent sites, alongside a honeymoon suite subject to the venue’s stated conditions.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the on-site ceremony contingency: the official site names both a lakeside outdoor setting and an indoor fireplace setting, and says rain ceremonies are held in the lodge. Another is the concentration of reception basics in the venue’s stated offering, including food service, tableware, service and cleanup.

The accommodation choices are another practical feature, with several types of overnight stay listed on the official page. Couples considering a later celebration should confirm the available inventory for their date, the number of guests permitted in each option and all check-in arrangements.

A key limitation is that the official site does not publish a current all-in wedding package price. The venue also says it is not licensed and sets rules for alcohol brought by guests, so couples should obtain the current policy in writing.

Pricing

Current wedding pricing is not explicitly published. Hatfield Farm says its wedding pricing is a total package price based on the expected number of guests and any additional services, rather than a standard per-person wedding rate. It also states that tax and a 15% gratuity are added to the pre-tax price.

The official wedding page separately lists overnight rates: $55 plus HST per person for a private cabin room, $45 plus HST per person for a bunk bed in the open-concept bunkhouse, and $30 plus HST per person for a tent site. It also lists four private cabins for one or two guests at $125 plus HST. The venue says overnight stays include a hearty country breakfast.

These accommodation figures should be reconfirmed before booking because the site’s general booking policy says pricing is subject to change. Ask for a written wedding quote that identifies every included item, any guest-count assumptions, tax, gratuity and accommodation charges.
