Booking Herrington on the Bay was an absolute dream, and having Lexy as our planner along with Megan as our day-of coordinator made everything completely stress-free and seamless! ...
From the very beginning, Lexy was incredible-always ready to answer questions, offer guidance, and make sure every single detail was thought through. She made planning feel exciting and manageable instead of overwhelming, and her expertise gave us so much confidence leading up to the big day.
Then came the wedding day, and Megan was an absolute rockstar! She was so attentive, organized, and on top of every little thing before we even had to think about it. From coordinating with vendors to keeping the timeline running smoothly, she handled it all with such grace and professionalism.
Herrington on the Bay itself is breathtaking. The grounds are stunning, with lush flower gardens buzzing with butterflies and bees, and the gentle sound of the ocean crashing nearby adds the perfect natural soundtrack to your day. Every corner feels like it was made for a wedding- so romantic, serene, and utterly magical.
The staff at Herrington on the Bay were an absolute joy to be around- they made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. Every detail was handled with care, and you could truly feel how much they genuinely care about the couple, the guests, and the day. And the food… WOW. It was absolutely outrageous- hands down the best food you’ll ever have at a wedding. Every bite was incredible, and it added so much to the celebration.
Thanks to Lexy, Megan, and the amazing Herrington staff, our wedding was a dream come true. The day flowed perfectly, we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment, and everything was just magical. If you’re planning a wedding, do yourself a huge favor and book Herrington on the Bay!

d surrounding area along the water, we were captivated by the breathtaking views. Whether it was the beautiful sunset reflection dancing on the water during golden hour or the sparkling lights at night, every photo turned out magical thanks to the stunning backdrop provided by Herrington.
The setup was flawless — elegant, thoughtfully arranged, and exactly what we envisioned. The team was incredibly attentive and made the entire planning process so smooth. On the day of the wedding, every detail was perfectly in place, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
And the food — absolutely phenomenal. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. From the appetizers to the main course and desserts, every bite was memorable. It felt like a fine dining experience wrapped in the warmth of a celebration.
If you're looking for a venue with gorgeous views, top-notch service, and exceptional food, Herrington on the Bay needs to be at the top of your list! It exceeded all of our expectations and gave us a day we’ll never forget.

Herrington was AMAZING!!! From the staff, to the location, everything was magical and made our wedding day perfect. Lexy was a truly wonderful light in our wedding planning process...
and made our vision for the entire day come to life. She ran price checks, rearranged layouts, and even helped connect us with other vendors to truly polish our entire day. Our entire wedding party and families stayed at the Inn at Herrington Harbor for the weekend. Their naturally gluten free kitchen was loved by our celiac family and the gluten-eaters could not believe that our entire menu was gluten free. Family and friends are still talking about how delicious the food was and how perfect the day was -- largely thanks to Herrington! We cannot recommend them highly enough.

lued. Lexy was an absolute angel to work with, and she really helped guide us through every step with precision. Our day of coordinator, Katie, was so intentional and thoughtful to not only us, but our parents. Our guests could not get over the excellent service from the floor staff, bartenders, and just the venue itself.
We are so happy that we got to celebrate the best day of our lives in the hands of Herrington On The Bay!

Just a SPECTACULAR venue and staff !!! I just don’t know where to start. If I could give 100 stars I would. My daughter was married at Herrington on October 3 2025 and from the ...
very first “let’s check this out” appointment all the way until the day of the wedding we have been amazed by the client service, commitment, and attention to EVERY detail. HOB was nothing short of perfection. The staff went above and beyond every step of the way—no detail was too small, no request too big. Lexy B was our Lead Executive and she was exceptional from Day 1. She has exceptional communication skills and followed through within hours to every email/phone call. She is masterful at planning and provided sound advice on where/how to use vendors, how to work the food choices that would support my daughters vibe (and also help be cost effective)
Our Day of Coordinator Katie was nothing short of PERFECTION. She anticipated what we needed before we even asked, making the entire day feel effortless and filled with joy. It simply amazed me how her and her staff set up the venue just from a corner full of boxes and A few instructions into the most exquisite looking wedding reception I’ve ever seen in my life. Virtually every one of our guests (including our photographer and videographer) said my daughter‘s wedding was simply the most stunning wedding they’ve ever seen. Katie and Lexi were ironing tablecloths to make sure there were no creases - they filled vases with water and even made arrangements for drinks & apps to be delivered to the wedding party while they were doing post ceremony pictures so they didn’t miss out on cocktail hour. Before my daughter’s ceremony took place the general manager, Mr. Gerardo Massa stopped by to introduce himself and make sure everything was to our liking. A gracious man and one of the most impressive gestures I’ve ever seen was after the ceremony while we were taking pictures. Mr. Massa was one of the folks that came over with trays of drinks to make sure we were taken care of. Unbelievably impressive.
The chef is masterful and the staff and servers amazing. The appetizers we chose were delicious, we also got the sushi bar, which was a huge hit. All of the entrees came out piping hot and I think everyone cleaned their plate !! The Bartending staff made amazing drinks all night, and we were fortunate enough to be the first two debut the “ring the bell drink wall”. That is going to be talked about for years !!! You must must must rent that if you have your event at Herrington !! My daughter, and son-in-law enjoyed their wedding because everything was taken care of. And I actually enjoyed their wedding because I had the trust of the wonderful staff from HOB.
I cannot think of one thing that I would change, and I’m a hard critic. lol. I feel like the staff at Herrington is like family and I would do another Event there in a heartbeat. The town is just the cutest, we took two extra days and enjoyed the sites around North Beach
With Sincere Gratitude

This wedding venue was absolutely stunning. Our bride had expectations we didn’t know if we would pull every single one off, but Herrington on the Bay was able to. From the moment ...
we contacted Brittany, explaining we had just fired our other wedding venue, she was prompt, quick, available, and organized. She was able to get back to us the same day (under one hour to be exact), and finalize the date. She put us in great hands with Lexi. Lexi organized and stayed on top of every detail Racail wanted in her wedding. She made the impossible, possible. From following up on emails, to asking questions we didn’t think of that needed to be done for the big day, Lexi was able to surpass our expectations with communication. This was our Brides biggest pet peeve. One of the main reasons she let the other venue go. On to Sarah, our event coordinator the day of the wedding, whom from the time we got there was in contact with not only the Brides side, but grooms, too. Sarah made sure our guests were seated, kept us informed of what was taking place, and helped ease our minds with solutions to some of the issues that arose (non from Herrington all from our own party haha). She kept checking on the Bride and Groom all evening. She should be a photographer, too. Good lord she took beautiful photos of the bridal party before the walk. The bus driver- he may not know, but those quiet minutes he allowed them to have in the bus, made all the difference. That allowed her to gather her mind, enjoy a moment of peace, and think back on what they just accomplished. MARRIAGE! Finally to our girl Aggie- thank you. We know we were the most complicating or unorganized bridal party, but you got us right with the songs, when to walk, gathering our belongings without hesitation, and being there every step of the way. You took down our outside decorations out of the kindness of your heart, and we are forever grateful. After a night of dancing, we were exhausted and ready to head home. You ALL made that possible. Andrew, we won’t forget our bartender. Served up the best mixed drinks of the night! Some that weren’t on the menu ;) thank you to everyone who made our Bride and Groom’s evening the most memorable one ever. We are beyond happy we chose you, and beyond grateful to have our wedding event at such a wonderful venue.

e to book them as my wedding venue and it was one of the easiest and best choices of my whole wedding!
The ceremony spaces are STUNNING with so much natural beauty, that no other effort was needed on my part. Guests could not stop complimenting the views, especially the sunset.
Every single person that helped us from the staff was amazing from the very beginning. Lindsey, Amber, Sara, and Sarah held my hand and calmed my nerves throughout the entire wedding process and were always there for me when I wanted their honest opinions or suggestions.
And now - THE FOOD. Everyone was so impressed by how delicious every single course was , from the apps to the nitrogen ice cream bar, the compliments couldn't stop coming. And a special shout out goes to the amazing staff for making sure my now husband (!) and I were well fed and didn't miss out on any of the delicious food and drink offerings.
I seriously cannot recommend Herrington enough and will continue talking about how amazing it was to anyone who will listen!

Absolutely beautiful grounds. Couldn’t have imagined getting married anywhere else. While everybody was kind, there are a few negatives that were noted. For the price, there should...
n’t even be any negatives. First, we specifically asked that we were included in the end of cocktail hour and were told that we would be and it was added on our wedding timeline. That wasn’t the case on our wedding day. Second, I have seen multiple pictures on Herrington’s Instagram, Facebook, website, etc with the layout of what couples brought in - seating chart, memorial photos, etc which was set up beautifully. It seemed like everything was thrown together last minute, almost sloppy, and is not how we envisioned it would be. Third, communication was a little more complicated than it should have been. I felt like I had to remember every little detail in order for things to be remembered when it should have been the other way around. Fourth, our event specialist was nowhere to be seen basically the entire wedding day when we were told that she would pretty much be by our sides to make sure everything runs smoothly - drinks, etc. Lastly, we left our marriage license in our room at the Herrington Inn, for the amount we spent you would think they would have sent it back to our home without charging us. Also, we asked for an hour later checkout and were only given a half hour. Our honeymoon, had no problem giving us an extra hour.

The food was another standout—absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and the portions were huge. Our guests are still raving about it!
Looking back, I wouldn’t change a single thing. It was the best day of our lives, and Herrington on the Bay made it possible. I can’t recommend this venue enough for any couple who wants a flawless and unforgettable wedding day.

I cannot say enough good things about our entire experience at Herrington. From the first time we visited the property (our initial tour by the lovely Karli), planning phases (work...
ing with Lexy) and then the final details and day of (working with Katie), everything was so seamless. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, let alone doing it from California - but these ladies made it so easy, they were flexible, and they helped me think of everything that I might not have known to think of. They coordinated with my vendors weeks leading up to the wedding, and they made the day of so perfect, even with the weather forecast changing every hour. You will not regret having your wedding at Herrington, and I know that there is not this level of support at other venues which made it even better. Most of my friends are married, and have been to a lot of weddings, and I have never received so many compliments on how amazing ours was! It was beautiful and everything flowed so nicely! Thank you so much Herrington - especially Lexy, Katie and Karli for making our day so amazing! Could not have asked for a better venue or a better team.

We worked with Taresa as our Event Specialist and she was DARLING. We truly felt so understood and so well taken care of. I can't say enough about how she handled my being an anxious bride, but I will say she was always there for a late night email or to be a calming reassuring presence when I needed it.
Lexi was our outstanding Event Coordinator and Katie was our VIP server the day of. They both were so wonderful and did such an amazing job with everything, we felt so grateful to be surrounded by so many kind and hard working people on our big day!
If you are looking for your dream location, this is IT! You seriously will not find anything better, I mean it. You can truly feel the energy of this place the second you arrive there.

This venue was perfect. This was the first location we visited in our search, and they immediately made us feel special. Throughout the planning process, their team was incredibly ...
communicative, professional, and organized. Our day-of coordinator was also a huge help on the day so that we did not have to worry about the flow or time when our day started.
Our guests were blown away by how beautiful this venue was. We did the tent for our reception, and got incredibly lucky with the weather and fall colors on the trees. I wouldn't change a thing.
We also had the majority of our guests staying at the Inn, which was also wonderful and convenient, and I would highly recommend wedding parties using this option if possible! It was so nice to have the rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, ceremony and reception, and where everyone was staying all in one place.
My only feedback would be that they offer transportation to and from the venue/inn as it is a 0.8 mile walk. But we easily coordinated rides among guests for those who couldn't walk or were wearing heels.

We, our close family, and many of our guests stayed at the accompanying hotel which worked perfectly for getting to enjoy time leading up to/throughout the weekend together hanging on the premises and at the little beach. The food and drinks at our cocktail hour and reception were great.
The staff that we worked with throughout our wedding planning process-Lexi, Amber, and Lexi-were phenomenal. They responded very promptly and we very helpful in providing guidance/assistance.
Also 11/10 recommend the scallop tacos at ketch22
All of our guests raved about the weekend and we couldn’t have imagined it being more perfect. We would definitely recommend HOTB to others.

IMAGINE the perfect wedding – you’ve just imagined Herrington on the Bay! The staff, the food, the venue, the setting are truly what dream weddings are made of. For one and a half ...
years we planned our daughter’s wedding, and based on the over 200 texts, emails, phone calls, and letters we received after the event, I’d say, with the help of the incredible staff at Herrington on the Bay, we created a truly magical experience!
Our designated personal planner Lexy Buchanan, tirelessly worked with us (sometimes day and night – and that is no exaggeration) to develop a vision that was uniquely our daughter’s.
From the beginning she guided us as we explored local vendors. Believe me - no detail was left to chance – the chairs, the table clothes, the tables, the food choices – you name it – together we explored and edited and explored some more… WOW Lexy was worth her weight in gold one hundred times over!
As we progressed through the planning process additional staff were introduced to us that would be with us on the day of the wedding – including Amber and Katie. We truly have NEVER experienced so much support and guidance and with so much love and care!! You would truly have thought we were the only family having a wedding that entire weekend! And we weren’t – it was Labor Day weekend, but it did not matter – you would NEVER have known that anyone else mattered except for our daughter!
The day of the wedding was just completely out of a fairytale – Lexy, Little Lexy, Amber, and Katie coordinated and organized our event like a finely orchestrated play! The staff were INCREDIBLE! The bartenders, the wait staff, you just cannot even imagine a better organized event! The kindness and caring that each and every staff member extended to us and to all of our guests was A-1 PERFECT! Guests could not believe the number of staff that were at the wedding – at no time was there a line at the bar, a wait for food (WHICH WAS INCREDIBLE and PLENTIFUL!).
If you are considering this venue – please look no further – Herrington on the Bay is the perfect venue for your upcoming wedding!

n love with the space and knew it was right for us. It is an inviting "hidden gem" in North Beach, MD with stunning views. You can really see and feel the care and attention the owners and staff put into the space. We booked the Garden and Yacht Club for our wedding, but honestly you cant go wrong with either of Herrington's venues -- the Yacht Club or Tent -- both are really amazing spaces. The entire team worked so hard to help us make our perfect wedding day happen. The team has a ton of experience which you can tell by their well run, solid operation -- from all the details of planning to executing the day of -- they left us feeling reassured, confident, and happy we chose Herrington. We are so grateful for Caroline, Taresa, Mallory, Lexi and everyone else for their amazing support. I also cant leave a review without calling out how amazing the chef and food is at Herrington. We were given so much praise for how delicious the food was. Herrington was truly the perfect place for us, and I'm confident it will be for anyone looking for a top notch venue and staff for their wedding.

Next our day of coordinator Megan & our VIP coordinator Amber were so amazing! Not only were they amazing but all the staff that helped partake in our day were truly great! Our day was perfect all because of the impeccable guest service! Not to mention our food was delicious. Our guests have been non stop talking about how good the food was! Overall we are very pleased & would def recommend getting married here if you are looking for a weekend getaway destination wedding but local in Maryland!

Katie & Lexy & all of the HOTB staff, THANK YOU. I can't imagine my wedding day/weekend being more perfect. HOTB was very easy to work with throughout the whole planning process. W...
e even ended up extending our celebration an hour because no one was ready to leave. I appriciate the staff staying later, last minute. I wish I could relive this day over and over again, but at the same time, it feels like a once in a lifetime event and I am so happy with how everything turned out. You won't regret having your wedding here! They will turn all of your dreams into reality!

Herrington was AMAZING! Especially our wedding planner Taresa and our day-of coordinator Melissa.
Taresa worked with us over a year to make sure she nailed down all the details to...
create the vision we had for the wedding.
Melissa handled everything and was on top of all the activities during the event. Never had to ask her to do anything since she was already on it. Also made sure that we were well fed and hydrated throughout the day.
Funny enough, one of the chairs caught fire from a decoration and they took care of it without us noticing. Told us at the end of the night. Very Professional.
Cannot thank them enough for helping my wife and I have our wedding. 10/10 recommend.

Worth every penny! Herrington on the Bay is an absolutely incredible venue - not only because of its natural beauty from being situated right on the Chesapeake Bay, but also becaus...
e of its people. From the moment we toured to the end of our wedding day (and after!), we were constantly met with the kindest, most professional team. We were fortunate in that we got to work with Lexy (Director of Design & Planning), Amber (Client Coordinator) and Megan (our Day Of Coordinator) – all of whom are fantastic human beings and truly made us feel like we were their main priority (even though we know they had other weddings on their schedules). Every conversation and meeting felt personal and we felt like we were in the best hands.
We chose Herrington because of its beautiful location, but we ultimately were the most thrilled with our decision because of the team and how great they were about accommodating the special touches we wanted to add to our wedding. They were amazing at working with us to add things like an espresso martini bar, our favorite late-night bites (buffalo chicken sliders and shoestring fries!), and the exact signature drinks we wanted (cucumber coolers and palomas!). What’s more, their catering and bar packages offered a ton of great options, and we heard from all of our guests afterward that the hors d’oeuvres, entrees, and drinks all night from the open bar were some of the best they’d ever had at any wedding.
To close with some personal perspective on how easy it was to work with the Herrington team and how wonderful they helped make our special day: the week prior to our wedding leading right into the day of had lots of rain and thunderstorms in the forecast, and while fortunately, everything with the weather worked out perfectly, we give all the credit to the Herrington team - they were so flexible with us and worked up several back up plans should we need to adjust the wedding day timeline or space. Every question we asked, they had an answer and every concern, they assuaged. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect - we are absolutely over the moon! If you are looking for a gorgeous place to get married and want to be surrounded by true and kind-hearted professionals, Herrington on the Bay is a MUST!

We were married at Herrington on June 1, 2024, and we can’t recommend the venue enough! Everything was *stunningly* beautiful, as we were blessed with perfect weather, and any hicc...
ups we encountered were resolved quickly and discreetly. The food was incredible as well, and the whole stuff was lovely. While we were disappointed that our original coordinator, Lexy, couldn’t be with us for our wedding day, we were so grateful for her timely responses and endless knowledge throughout the planning process. Megan was very nice and helped to make the day a success despite stepping in for just the last few weeks of planning. Everything ran smoothly because of the stare’s organization and years of experience. We are so grateful for HOTB - thank you!!

We had our wedding at Herrington on the Bay Yacht Club, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is stunning, with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces and an amazing garden facing ...
the bay. Throughout the year of planning, the team was always prompt in their responses, providing detailed information and answering all our queries. Every visit to the venue was met with warm smiles, personalized tours, and a genuine interest in our wedding plans, which made us feel truly valued.
Taresa, Brittany, and Mallory were amazing to work with. They helped us plan every detail of our big day, and we didn’t even need a wedding planner because they handled everything so flawlessly. They even went the extra mile to create a special menu for us featuring a fusion of Mexican and Filipino cuisine, which was a huge hit with our guests. Their willingness to accommodate our unique culinary preferences was truly commendable.
Even though it rained on our wedding day, the team quickly adapted and moved our ceremony indoors without a problem, making it such a beautiful and memorable experience. The food was delicious, the drinks were fantastic, and the staff was friendly and professional. Thanks to their hard work, our wedding day was completely stress-free!
If you’re considering Herrington on the Bay for your special day, don’t think twice about booking them. They truly do it all and make the entire process a joy. From the first meeting to the last dance, they ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience, leaving you free to fully enjoy your wedding day.

re process (specifically Katie and Taresa). Whether it was an extra couple appetizers to try while we were in the beginning meetings or always offering a beverage (or two), they were always so welcoming. We had contemplated getting a wedding coordinator, but we're glad we didn't because they made each step really easy for us. This was hands down the best day of our lives and Herrington made it that much easier for us to enjoy it.

Taressa was amazing at helping us with planning, during the months leading up to our wedding day, and Melissa our day of coordinator was so kind and really present during our special day. She even met us with drinks in hand after we were done our photos😂. They truly have a dream team over there and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. 10/10 would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in Maryland.

n the Bay. Communication is SO important at every turn on the planning process and Christina is the honestly the best communicator we've experienced in our planning process so far. The venue is beautiful, the ceremony space has the best views, and I have no doubt had we chosen to go with Herrington, our day would've been managed by the on site team as professionally as their inquiry process. Thank you Christina for a great experience, and we sincerely hope our paths cross again for a celebration of a different sort!

My husband and I could not recommend Herrington on the Bay enough. From our first encounter with them to our wedding everything was more than we could imagine. We actually made the...
decision to book a venue before getting engaged because we wanted to get married on a specific date (12.31.23), I started reaching out to MD venues to see who was open during the winter, HTOB got back to me within the hour of my inquiry. When we went to look at the venue, we were greeted with beverages and appetizers. All of the staff we worked with wee amazing and extremely professional. Our day off coordinator, Melissa was absolutely fantastic. From our last planning meeting together to making everything run smoothly on our big day she was the best. Melissa, was extremely responsive even on off hours and was on top of everything. It’s been two weeks since our big day and we are still getting compliments from our guests on the wedding and the staff and how great the evening turned out. If you want to surprise your guests with something they won’t forget, opt in for the wow experience. The fireworks were the hit of the night and were better than we expected. Scott and I highly recommend Herrington on the Bay for your wedding, you won’t regret it!

I had the most AMAZING experience with Herrington on the Bay for my wedding a few weeks ago on October 8, 2023.
First I want to say that Teresa Clark and Katie Briggs provided the...
absolute best guidance and assistance throughout my year of planning. They left no stone unturned when it came to the details and timeline for our wedding day.
Katie made sure that everything was perfect for the ceremony and reception. She coordinated the set-up, the vendor arrival and the wedding party. I don't know what I would have done without her. THANKS KATIE!
Teresa held my hand throughout the entire planning process. I'm sure I probably got on her nerves with the may calls and text messages, but she never failed to answer or return my calls in a timely manner.
Teresa laid out the entire timeline from our arrival onsite 2 days prior to the ceremony through to the end of the reception. She captured details that I surely would have missed. Taresa, thank you you are a God send.

Simply…perfect. Since the first day, every single person was warm, kind, helpful, patient. Marcie, Katie, Lexy, Mickey, and our awesome VIP server, Samantha, made the day-of stress...
free, easy, and SEAMLESS! The only thing they seemed concerned about was if we were happy and having fun.
Everyone worked so hard to make our day their priority. It was all so special - from planning all the way to the grand sparkler exit. All of our friends and family had a BLAST. The apple cider/hot chocolate station at the ceremony site, the appetizers, our dinner, the drinks were seriously phenomenal.
Herrington was actually my first job when I was 14 years old, and the level of genuine care and attention to detail has always been a staple here. I am so thankful for every moment and person involved!!!

I can't rave enough about how helpful and considerate the HOTB team has been throughout the planning process. They are detail oriented, very responsive and really focused on providing an amazing guest experience. They may be a tad on the pricier side but I promise they are worth every penny!
My guests are still calling in to tell us about how amazing the wedding experience was, how beautiful the venue is and the excellent service of the staff. My husband and I work in the hospitality industry and can honestly say the HOTB team is top tier. It was truly an unforgettable experience. Special shoutout to my girl Lexy (Event Specialist) GOD SENT!

Where to begin. Not only is Herrington on the Bay a picturesque wedding venue, but the staff was absolutely incredible to work with from the very beginning. Lexy, our venue planner...
, was a gem of a human. She responded to my many emails in a timely fashion, was extremely helpful, and also just the nicest person. Amber, our day of coordinator, was literally sprinting around on our wedding day to make sure everything was running smoothly - she even helped my bridesmaids bustle my dress. Not to mention - it ended up pouring rain on our wedding day, and somehow everything still went off (outdoors!) without a hitch. It was seriously the most perfect day, and we cannot thank the staff enough. Special shout out to Caitlyn, who was our personal attendant on our wedding day. It was her first night as a personal attendant, and she handled it with ease. We could not recommend Herrington enough.
