We know you want your wedding, engagement party, anniversary or special event to be a personal expression of who you are. It is a representation of you, your family and your dreams. To us that means unique. So you won’t find sample catering menus here. We want to know about you. How you dream your wedding or special event to be. The perfect meal you have envisioned. The ideal decorations. The atmosphere that reflects the feeling of your celebration.

With three distinct properties in the charming seaside village, the experienced DesBarres Manor team can provide you with unlimited opportunities to express yourself.  The casual elegance of DesBarres Manor Inn, the remarkable oceanfront vistas of Osprey Shores Golf Resort and the East Coast openness of the Rare Bird Pub & Eatery each provide a distinct Nova Scotia wedding venue where you can live your dreams.

The grand deck and gazebo at DesBarres Manor Inn offer the perfect backdrop for memorable pictures and a casual setting for a pre-dinner cocktail reception. Our romantic fireside dining room can be the setting for an intimate dinner for 40. And our beautiful grounds are the ideal location for a beautiful tent wedding or special reunion. Everywhere, the atmosphere at DesBarres Manor Inn is one of quiet luxury, the perfect location for a remarkable event that you and your guests will remember forever.

“With views to rival those at Chester or Northumberland”, the magnificent oceanfront vistas of the Osprey Shores Golf Resort provide a dramatic setting for a tented wedding, reunion or special event.  Inside the Osprey Shores Clubhouse, we can accommodate a sit down dinner for 100 guests.

The Rare Bird Pub & Eatery on Guysborough Harbour also provides unique reception opportunities. The Rare Bird Loft with its overstuffed chairs and sofas can provide a warm and inviting atmosphere for up to 80 guests. The waterfront patio and courtyard, described by Chronicle Herald as “one of the nicest patios in Nova Scotia”, provide a charming setting for a seaside reception for up to 155. And for very special events, the entire Rare Bird can be reserved to accommodate up to 180 guests.

General Manager Audrey Firth will personally work with you and the Manor’s renowned culinary team to develop special menus at the venue of your choice, creating a unique event you and your guests will remember for a lifetime.

Let us show you why historic DesBarres Manor Inn and our family of seacoast wedding venues are your getaway for Nova Scotia weddings and special events.
