There's Romance in the Capitol and Beyond

There’s something special about slowing life down and sharing quiet moments together.

Picture this: you’re checking in to The Quartermain House, a beautiful heritage stay right in Fredericton. The moment you arrive, the pace shifts. Bags down, shoulders relax, and suddenly the weekend feels intentional. You leave the car parked and step out together into a city that’s easy to wander and even easier to enjoy side by side.

That evening, book dinner at a Fredericton favourite like 11th Mile or The Provincial. Thoughtfully prepared dishes, warm lighting, and an atmosphere that invites conversation to linger. No rush. No distractions. Just good food and better company.

The next morning, start slow with coffee and something sweet from Tispy Muse Café. Let the morning stretch a little longer than planned. Maybe talk about nothing important at all.

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about being present together.

Valentine’s is approaching fast, so start making reservations at a favourite stay or somewhere you’ve been talking about forever. Surprise your partner and turn a simple weekend into something meaningful.

Spread the love for local. Stay close, right here in New Brunswick.

Love strolls the streets of Saint John

There’s something about slowing down together that turns ordinary moments into unforgettable memories.

Imagine checking in to Chipman Hill Suites, a beautifully restored historic stay tucked into Uptown Saint John. Snow falls outside. The city feels quieter. You drop your bags, take a breath, and step out hand in hand into streets full of character and charm.

Start your evening with dinner at Italian by Night, where candlelight, wine, and carefully crafted dishes set the tone for a night that doesn’t need an agenda. This is the kind of place where conversation flows and dessert is never rushed.

The next morning, before heading home, take a slow walk to Catapult Coffee Co. Grab something warm, find a window seat, and let the glow of the weekend last just a little longer.

This isn’t about how far you go.
It’s about how close you feel.

February fills up quickly, so book early, surprise your partner, and make this Valentine’s weekend one you’ll both remember.

Dinner plans that set the mood

A great dinner does half the work for you. Soft lighting, thoughtful menus, and a table meant for lingering can turn an ordinary night into something special.

Reservations are strongly recommended throughout February as so many local spots fill up fast around Valentine’s weekend.

Choose each other, choose local

Valentine’s is just an excuse. The real magic is choosing each other and making time for moments that matter.

Whether it’s a full weekend getaway, a romantic dinner, or a last-minute plan that turns into a great memory, New Brunswick is full of ways to celebrate love close to home.

Support local. Stay close. Make it meaningful.
