Weddings & Special Events
She’s a little bit country; you’re a little bit rock n’ roll? Then the Rare Bird on Guysborough Harbour is your venue for memorable Nova Scotia oceanfront weddings or special events.
If size counts with your family, The Rare Bird is ready with room for 180 of your closest friends inside, and 150 members of your clan outside. And located on Guysborough Harbour, the Rare Bird defines the authentic seacoast wedding or event.
Thank you ALL so much for a beautiful venue for our wedding. And the food & service were FANTASTIC!!
– Charla & Chris Cosgrove
Outside, the beautiful waterfront patio and courtyard, described by The Chronicle Herald as “one of the nicest patios in Nova Scotia”, provide a charming setting for a seaside wedding reception or event for up to 150.

If you’re bringing in folks from away, the Rare Bird’s sister properties DesBarres Manor Inn and Osprey Shores Golf Resort have 20 guest rooms between them to accommodate even the most discerning in-laws.
And, if your sweetie says the Rare Bird is just too East Coast casual for the city folk, the Authentic Seacoast Resorts are ready with more intimate settings. DesBarres Manor can host up to 50 for a luxurious and intimate dinner and Osprey Shores Golf Resort can host dinner events for up to 100 inside.
Wherever you choose to host your wedding or event, the renowned culinary team at our Authentic Seacoast™ Resorts will create a meal and event you and your guests will remember for a lifetime.
