I’m Courtney, the proud Market Director for The Mom Market Halifax! I absolutely LOVE what I do. It’s such an honor to connect with this amazing community, host incredible events in our city, and meet so many inspiring people along the way.
In addition to directing markets, I’m also a small business owner of Mamas And Tatas Designs. I know firsthand what it’s like to juggle multiple hats – from being a mama to Violet and Vincent (my favorite full-time role!) to partner, vendor, market director, small business advocate, and everything in between.
My experience as a vendor and market participant has taught me just how challenging (and rewarding!) it is to grow a brand. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping small businesses succeed. Through The Mom Market Halifax, I’m here to support you in growing your business, marketing your brand, and joining an incredible community of like-minded entrepreneurs.
When I’m not organizing markets, you’ll likely find me shopping small, thrifting, or participating in markets myself. I’m beyond proud to be part of this vibrant community and can’t wait to host your local business!

“I had a very good experience as a first time vendor at the mommarket event. Everything is very well organized and our Halifax coordinator, Courtney, was very helpful before, during and after the event. She was fast to answer all of my questions and concerns. She kept checking on us during the event and made sure everything went smoothly. I like that we could be at a new place in every event, and all the places so far are one of the best to sell our products at. I’ll be a repeat vendor for sure!” - Marj Bakehouse
“Nurple Sauce was excited to attend the Mom Market, with an excellent venue at the Keiths Brewery. Returning to a sense of safety in public, the market went above and beyond the C19 requirements, making vendors feel safe. Definitely will return again.” - Nurple Sauce Co.
“ As a maker new to the world of craft markets, Courtney and the Mom Market Halifax was a marvelous experience. Highly organized, well-designed and accessible, the market accommodated both the vendors needs for space and the flow of shoppers. Courtney was everywhere at once, making sure we were all comfortable, and her social media coverage is excellent.” - Blissfully Writing Studio
“ Coull Crafts has been working with Courtney (The Mom Market - Halifax) for a few months now and we have had nothing but an amazing experience. As fairly new vendors, it is quite daunting learning all the ropes and Courtney is so wonderful to work with. She answered our million and one questions with ease and was so incredibly supportive throughout the whole process. We have always felt safe and well taken care of at all the markets we have attended so far. We have booked every market we can with Courtney and will continue to do so because of how dedicated she is to her role and how well the markets are managed. Looking forward to continued success with the Mom Market Halifax!” - The Coull Crafts
“The Mom Market has been such a great opportunity for me to meet so many awesome people and to promote my small business. I’ve been to a couple markets so far and loved every moment of it! They are always organized and fun!! Also, Courtney is so wonderful and understanding! She makes the experience extra special. She truly gives importance to the vendors and customers. Responds quickly, listens to our needs and always checks on us during the markets! I love the variety of market spots there is and I’m looking forward to attending more in the future!!” - Halalifax Sweets
“ This is my first year working with The Mom Market Halifax, and it’s been nothing but a pleasure! Courtney is always open to answer questions or offer advice. She’s friendly, encouraging, and has a wonderful partner to match! The markets create a community where I’ve already built friendships and made plans to collab with other makers. Courtney’s markets are always in fun venues with lots of foot-traffic. If you’re looking to join a low-stress, maker-oriented market, this is it!“ - The Golden Kitty HFX
"What I liked most is how friendly the host was, my favourite Market was at the Halifax Brewery." - Brenda Aucoin
"Super organized, My first market was at Fishermans Cove. When I walked in, everything was already set up, the tables were marked so I was able to find my spot easily. Doors opened on time and because there was no entry fee; there were so many people coming in to check us out. I sold more than I expected." - Jessica Hicks
Large variety of vendors and free to attend! Favourite had to be the Halloween market at CHP, lots of vendors, food options, and the getting a little photo momento of our little one from one of the vendors was really the icing on top! - Jessica Curtis
I like the unique small businesses and crafts, my favourite is \Fisherman's Cove with the outside shops by the water! - Nizam Farah
I liked the organization and the flow of people. My favourite part was working with Courtney. - Darris Foster
I liked the ease of setup, communication with organizer, location. My favourite was the Valentine's market at Mic Mac Mall. - Vineeta Rajani
I liked that it was well organized and reliable. Courtney from MM-Halifax MADE my experience. By just being herself, she made me so comfortable and at ease as a first time vendor. I knew I was signing up for a reputable market with a good following, and also a kind organizer. She hyped up my products more than my own friends! - Christine Ausman
I liked how organized it was. My favourite was Cole Harbour Place close to Christmas. Great people, great sales. - Holly Adams
Courtney is very organized and helpful. Advertising is done perfectly to draw in the most amount of customers. My favourite is seeing similar people each time, everyone gets to know everyone. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!! - Amanda Tibbo
I like that the vendors there are usually very friendly which creates a good atmosphere and also more importantly that they are run really really well. I loved the fisherman's cove one because you can look out and see the ocean... very very cool location. - Athena Carroll
They are incredibly well advertised, which many markets are not! We did the Hatfield Farm Market May 2023, we met so many awesome vendors, it was a great day (even though it was a little chilly in the barn 😉) ! We can't wait to see you at Hatfield Farms again in a few months! - Christina Hubley
This was my very first market with Courtney, and from the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. She met me at the door and knew exactly who I was, even though we had never met in person. Throughout the entire evening, she was on top of everything — consistently checking in with vendors and making sure we were all doing well. That level of care is something I haven’t experienced at other markets.
Courtney’s attention to both vendors and shoppers truly sets her apart. You can feel how deeply she cares about our success. Her family’s involvement and support of the business is also incredibly special and speaks volumes about the heart behind these markets.
I met some truly incredible vendors and clients, and one client in particular shared valuable feedback that will positively impact my product moving forward. The connections I made that evening were just as meaningful as the sales — an experience that has contributed to my business’s continued growth.
It’s clear that Courtney knows how to attract the right customers. There were crowds at every table throughout the night, and this market turned out to be my second highest-grossing show of the year.
While my transportation needs limit me to the HRM area, I am fully committed to participating in as many of Courtney’s markets as I can going forward. What truly stands out is her personal care and attention — vendors are never treated as “just another booth.” She understands that we rely on these markets to connect with customers and generate sales, and she puts in the work to make that happen.
Thank you for an incredible experience, for your outstanding promotion, and for creating such successful, well-run markets. I look forward to continued success at Cole Harbour and the Mic Mac Christmas shows.
— Debbie Lloyd, My Paw Pal

My very first real market was a Mom Market. I had done one small pop-up before and was absolutely terrified. From the start, Courtney was incredibly accommodating — even with my wrong table size, oversized display racks, and a million questions. More importantly, she was genuinely kind.
She immediately told me not to stress and assured me she had the perfect spot for me. Throughout the day, she checked in often and made sure I felt supported. By the end of the market, I was completely hooked.
I now do shows every weekend, and I’ll never forget where it all began.
— Allie MacLean, Twig And Daisy

The Mom Market will always hold a special place in my heart, as it was the very first pop-up market where I launched my business, Mademoiselle Court. From that first event, I felt genuinely supported, welcomed, and seen.
I’ve had the opportunity to showcase my jewelry and fashion pieces in both Truro and at the Halifax Waterfront, and every experience has been incredible. Each market is well organized, thoughtfully promoted, and consistently draws great foot traffic.
What truly stands out is the way the team treats every vendor — with kindness, respect, and genuine care. There is no discrimination, just a strong sense of community and support. Since joining The Mom Market, my business has grown tremendously. I’ve gained new customers, built lasting relationships, and connected with fellow small business owners who continue to inspire me.
I am truly grateful for the platform The Mom Market has created. It has been such a meaningful part of my journey and success.
— Dami Adewoyin, Mademoiselle Court
