There was no special event happening when we went, so we just experienced it as a ferry terminal. However, we did eat at Evan's Seafood, the restaurant there and walked along the waterfront. There's a section that has beautiful glass sculptures hanging from the ceiling. And the waterfront has a heart bench sponsored by Charms covered in locks put there by lovers, lol. There's also a liquor store there. I'm sure it's much cooler when there's an event happening, but even when there's not, it's still nice. (190)

Alderney Landing offers far more than it did a decade ago. It seems to me that this space used to…read moresimply be a hub; a place of passage for those commuting via the ferry. But nowadays, Alderney Landing is a special little space all on its own. After disembarking from a nice voyage over the harbour, I was surprised to see a booth booking whale watching tours and other fun aquatic adventures. As I stepped further, I noticed people sitting at a table, enjoying sammies and coffee from a little resto in the building. Not only is there a little alternative product/healing shop, there is an art gallery, an NSLC, a fancy restaurant and a little deli. On the weekends watch out, because this place is turned over to farmers and independent wares producers. Come for the salad greens, and stay for the theatre! The Alderney Landing Cultural Convention Center has a lot to offer. Whether you're looking to pick up a bottle of wine to go with dinner or you're wanting a bottle of infused oil from the deli, this place has a surprising amount to offer. I was quite pleasantly surprised by how this place has expanded over the years. Yay Dartmouth!

The Halifax Club is a members only organization established in 1862. Apparently, when the land was…read moreoriginally purchased in the late 1800s it only cost $8000. It is a gorgeous old building in downtown Halifax, and in the last number of years the direction has been shifting; attempting to transition from its fairly stuffy roots, into something a little more accessible and perhaps more appealing to a younger crowd. Last night I attended a theatre performance at The Halifax Club. Zuppa, an amazing local theatre company, staged their play "Penny Dreadful" in the Uniacke room. The play is set in the 1800s so The Halifax Club as a venue, with its high ceilings and large paintings, was a very appropriate choice for the ensemble. The Pryor room bar was open before and after the show and our charming bartender Alex was helpful and generous. I enjoyed a glass of red wine for $7.5 while my date's beer was about $5.5. All of the people we encountered during our evening were very friendly and fun. If you happen to be invited by a member to dine or attend a function at The Halifax Club, you should accept the invitation. If you're hoping to become a member, check out the website. I'm sure it's not cheap, but you can feel both a sense of excitement and nostalgia knowing that you're walking the same halls that James C. Cogswell and William Cunard once did.

He walked us through the menu and any rentals we needed (dance floor) and was really accommodating. We had the place to ourselves and they were able to let the wedding party in early for photographs (damn rain...the only rainy Labour Day weekend in almost ten years, I swear). The food was great. I loved that I didn't have to worry about decorations - a few flowers, a bit of sheer fabric to match our colours on the table and boom! the place was ready to go. My guests loved it and kept saying how classy my wedding was, but it was all because I chose this as my venue. (disclaimer: this is all based on the service I had in 2004).

For the added glow in the dark affect, it's a good idea to wear white items, or, if you forget, you can often purchase glow bracelets and other accessories inside.

Most recently, I attended a wedding here. With 300 guests, beautiful decor, and a live band the place was bumping. Only complaint is someone was playing in the rehearsal space in the basement when the bride was walking down the aisle, which was quite distracting. It's a great place for corporate events, crafts shows and weddings. I'd say the most important thing to keep in mind is numbers, the place is so big it would be daunting for small groups. Be prepared to be your creative hat on. The space comes empty and you'll need decor to transform the place into something special.

We left feeling like we'd learned a lot and gained a deeper appreciation for Halifax's role in so many historic events. Highly recommend!
