We work with many talented artists who are great DJs, singer/songwriter performers, minstrel/ traditional music performers, and solo pianists. Also at our disposal are amazing jazz, celtic, rock, funk, country, folk, blues, dance and soul groups who we’d love to refer you to. Please contact Seamus Cowan at The Cove via our Contact page.

DJ Mike Sitchon
House, Dance, All Styles Danceable or literally anything. Performed as a successful nightclub DJ in Toronto.

In the past our lounge has comfortably accommodated approximately 100 guests and up to 180 guests using both rooms we have available at The Cove Inn. We are situated right on the water with the Fredenburgh Property overlooking the Upper Rideau Lake and the Main Inn overlooking Westport Pond so our site is an ideal location for beautiful photos and a picturesque wedding ceremony. Our patio offers a cozy setting over a beautiful lower lawn overlooking the Westport Pond and Foley Mountain. In the event of inclement weather, we can hold the ceremony in the Lobby of the Main Inn. Our lounge, dining room and lobby are all well appointed with lots of natural light and our staff is warm and helpful.

We find that most interested couples prefer to visit us for a meeting and tour of our facility well in advance of their day. At this point, a consultation with our wedding planner will take place where all information will be taken and a deposit for payment will be made.

Our accommodation rates are available on our main accommodations page. Rates are based on double occupancy per night and require a 2 night minimum from June to September. Please take a look under the Contacts link, scroll down to find alternate accommodation for your guests in Westport and area!

Includes all we presently have here at The Cove: tables, chairs, glassware/foodware, dance floor, candles, etc. We invite you to be as creative and decorative as you like with our room! It’s your day!

There is a Flat Fee of $2,000 for use of the facility which includes wedding planning services, event set up and clean up, extra housecleaning and extra service. Wine Corkage fees are $30 per bottle or choose from our great, extensive wine list. Any extra or different tables, chairs, linens, etc. can be rented from several rental companies at cost or the client may bring their own. Tents may be rented for outdoor waterside receptions. Margarita Fountains are always a fun treat for your guests…

We have a wheel chair entrance ramp and we have ample parking. For your guests’ leisure, we provide canoes, paddle boats and kayaks to get out on the water. At the Fredenburgh Property, there is wonderful lake swimming off of our waterfront docks, free docking, sun lounges, Muskoka lounge chairs, picnic tables and a hammock in the yard.
