Herrington on the Bay

your patience and making our Big Day on that particular date (you know what I’m talking about 😉, I will always remember that). Thank you Brittany Skinner, Brittany Bergendahl and wait stuff, you guys amazing in any way possible. The venue was absolutely gorgeous. We had our ceremony in the Herring Bay Garden and our reception in the Herrington Yacht Club. The food was delicious. If I could give 10 stars I definitely would. I definitely recommend this venue to any Bride! Nick & Evgenia. August 20, 2021.

us through every single option we have and how we could make our day as perfect and unique to us as possible. Lexy was working with us on the entire way through and made everything convenient and perfect for us! The food prepared by the private chef’s was our absolute dream meal for our wedding. The space (Herring Bay Garden & Herrington Yacht Club) was so picturesque and gorgeous with the florals and all of the natural décor that we almost didn’t need any other décor! All in all Herrington On the Bay can not be beat as a wedding venue and their team of vendors are unbeatably great.

that, the customer service is unmatched and the food is delicious! We toured a lot of wedding venues and none of them made us feel nearly as special and taken care of as Herrington. When you book with Herrington you have an entire team of people dedicated to helping you make sure your day is perfect. We were so confident leading up to our wedding day, and day of, because we knew our team had everything handled. Ally, Lexy, Kenzie and Jessie are total pros!

views from the Paradise Ballroom. They loved the breathtaking sunset and amazing firework display! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Herrington! You hold a special place in our memories and we are forever grateful!!

Kenzie, we’re beyond beyond fabulous!!! Why is it was full of many details, and crossover between the rehearsal dinner and wedding the next day, and everything went flawlessly. All of these ladies were with me every step of the way for two years, and every email was answered quickly, often within minutes. To say that my son and I were thrilled with our rehearsal dinner, and the bonfire on the beach which followed, provided by the Inn, and with which Taylor worked with me on, is an understatement. Everything from start to finish, the venue, the staff, the bartender, the food, was perfection! While I was not part of planning the wedding, like I said, some of my things from the rehearsal dinner crossed over to the wedding venue, and again that was handled superbly by everyone to make sure that everything got where it needed to be in time. The help that I received with set up and take down was invaluable. I only wish I had another child that I could do a rehearsal dinner or wedding for here, as I would without hesitation.

elf. It’s beautiful! We are incredibly happy we chose Herrington, you should too.

asked for a better wedding day. Thank you Herrington!

, wedding, and wedding reception, they walked us through all phases of planning and preparation to the point that it was zero stress on us. The venue itself is picture perfect, from the bay views to the food they prepared, everything was top notch!

eous, the pictures don’t do it justice. We loved every part of our ceremony and reception. The food was fantastic and all the staff was great!!

keep me stress free. We couldn’t have been luckier having such an attentive planner. She even came by on our rehearsal night and wedding day to say hi! Ryan, our day of coordinator, was AMAZING. Every last minute thought that popped up, he handled. Our wedding day was completely flawless and it was all because of him. If something went wrong, I don’t even know about it! We can’t recommend this venue enough, so many of our guests have reached out saying how incredible everything was. We will never get over it! THANK YOU!

ent smoothly and the staff was incredibly professional. They worked great with my wedding coordinator to make all my visions come to life. Lexy, Jessie and Marcie were a pleasure to work with, answering all my questions along the way. Lexy even stopped by to say hi the night of our wedding which was really nice because we had been working with her from the very start. Every meeting we had prior to our wedding was a delightful experience and they treated us so well! It really helped take away some wedding stress knowing we had HOB running everything on the back end of things. The food was outstanding and our guest loved the venue! Our family was so pleased with how everything turned out. It was truly a magical experience!

prise! They thought ahead about things I wouldn’t even have thought of and we’re so on top of everything. Our coordinator for the day Marcie was absolutely amazing! She came and asked us anything she wasn’t sure about and handled things behind the scenes we weren’t even aware of! We want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for helping make this day go by so smoothly!!! We truly appreciate it! If anyone is looking for an amazing experience please look into this place !!

MD. The landscaping, the venue, and the staff were amazing. From Ally to Mary to Brittany T., and everyone else we met; everything was perfect. We could not have asked for a better location and experience. From the food, drinks, and amazing water views, our guests raved about how exceptional everything was. A week later, we are still on cloud nine reliving our wedding day and the entire experience! We are so impressed with the team at Herrington on the Bay and loved that we could have our “destination” wedding at the beautiful hidden tropical gem otherwise known as Herrington on the Bay!

h how everything went, you simply will not regret having you wedding here.

presentative that I was working with and she made me feel comfortable the entire time I was working with her. Again, I had to stop planning at the beginning stages but I know from my initial experience that anyone who is fortunate enough to have their event here would love it.

he Bay is the perfect waterfront wedding location for sure! The chef also prepared a sample spread for us, which was an unexpected surprise. Everything was delicious. Kira worked within my sister's budget to provide her with an array of options. My sister put off booking because of Covid, and then ended up doing a small ceremony, more local. However, I highly recommend Herrington if you are considering a waterfront wedding! You will not be disappointed!

es ;) Through all the unknowns of 2020, this venue helped keep us informed and confident about our wedding day (which we never had to change or alter!) The location is beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly manicured. The food was amazing and every planning meeting we had with them, we got to sample something new and delicious. I had never thought to put raspberry cheesecake in a smores until my wedding day at our interactive smores bar (!) but now I never want a regular smores again.

d it! They allowed us to have the freedom to plan out wedding. Never once did they force us into anything that fit their plan. They encouraged us to make our own mold, and do what made us! That freedom alone was amazing and they were there every step of the way to make sure we got to see what we wanted on our special day. Lexy and Ryan were helpful every step of the way! Our wedding took place during the 2020 pandemic and they made sure (that even with certain restrictions that were in place through the state) we were still able to have a beautiful and magical day. Everything about Herrington is beautiful! The staff is warm and friendly. The food is amazing! Every time we went for a planning visit the staff was incredible, and welcoming. (They even sent us home with their amazing crumb-cake!) The overall environment is amazing. Every family member and friend that came to our wedding loved the paradise ballroom and scenic views of the water. There is an elegance and beauty that the ballroom has that's indescribable until you walk in and see the chandelier lit! Once the chandelier is lit it becomes this magical awe inspiring place. If you are looking for an amazing place to get married I would recommend Herrington on the Bay tenfold! They treated us as if we were their own and I have nothing but good things to say about them!

al dinner, especially the pork and chicken BBQ. It was a very special beginning to a fantastic weekend. We also received many positive comments about the food at the reception. Many compliments about the chicken and waffles and the "melt in your mouth" sirloin. In addition, the Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Sliders were great. But the HIT of the night were those milkshakes!! Several people admitted they had several ...1 person said he had 5! I don't want to miss the brunch. Everything was great! The cinnamon crumb cake was to die for. We were so impressed with the attention that we all received from those who worked hard to serve so many but also paid special attention to the bride and groom. I highly reccommend HOTB for your wedding or anything else for that matter!!

2020 and got married the very next month. Laura, Ryan, and Mary are the best - so helpful, supportive, and professional! We are so thankful for them - for all the time and energy they invested to ensure that we had an amazing day. We are already looking forward to returning to Herrington on the Bay.

I've never worked with an organization so responsive to emails. After booking Herrington as our wedding venue in 2018, I knew we had picked a winner. Ryan was an excellent on-site coordinator. He put my parents at ease, which is no small feat during the COVID-19 crisis! Very appreciative of everyone at Herrington who contributed to our special day.

here frequently to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you very much for Everything ! !

and absolutely falling in love with the beautiful views, perfectly manicured gardens and sunsets to die for. Once we got engaged on July 3, 2019, we knew that Herrington on the Bay would be top on our list of places to look at for hosting our wedding. Our dream date of July 3, 2020 was still available but sadly the coronavirus pandemic changed absolutely everything. We were like many other couples that were forced to put our wedding plans on hold until it was safe to host an event again. To our delight, about a month before July 3,2020, Herrington on the Bay reopened for small intimate “minimonies” and we were able to get married in an intimate ceremony and celebration for 7 people on our perfect day. Big kudos to the entire team at Herrington on the Bay, Laura in Event Sales is so extremely responsive, professional, kind and answers every possible question that you could come up with. She is an absolute delight to work with. Mary and Ryan in Events were there to make sure that absolute every single detail was taken care of and did it with grace and poise, even on a hot summer day. Ryan went above and beyond by staying with us the entire ceremony to make sure everyone was happy, had plenty of cool water and towels and even helped take some pictures of the entire group. Best part of the entire experience is that we are booked for July 2021 for a ring ceremony and grand celebration, where we will be able to have our entire family and friends join us in the place that we fell in love with and got married at this year. We can hardly wait!

e were planning that caught up to us, but we were stunned at how gorgeous the location was, and immediately fell in love with it. We were nervous thinking we could not afford such a nice venue, but HotB offered us some very compelling incentives on their price for choosing a date only 4 months away. This worked out for us, as we both desired a short engagement. Throughout the planning process, HotB was engaged and kept track of our timelines and desires for a ceremony and reception. Day of the wedding, they did a fine job coordinating with us on decorations, timing, dinner, and cleanup. The food was delicious and the hors d’oeuvres were of a quality and taste I had not seen at previous weddings I had attended. The customer service we received during the planning stages made things less stressful for us, and the day itself went off without a hitch. Something goes wrong at every wedding, but honestly, we though ours seemed just perfect. We would recommend HotB to anyone searching for a waterfront venue. Note that HotB has 2 venue options - a large ballroom tent, and an old historic yacht club. We chose the yacht club, perfect for us, especially since we had a nautical theme.

looking out for their couples. I loved every second. I wish we could relive that day over and over.

ay the stress of running through the day so we were able to relax and enjoy the ceremony and reception. The yacht club had beautiful views of the sunset over the water and everyone loved the food, especially the mini tacos and mac and cheese bites! It was all perfect!

eting with the staff. The staff is without a doubt the hardest workers, so personable, and you can tell they really want to make each and every wedding so special. From the beginning we worked with Maura who was absolutely amazing and able to help with all of our questions and needs. Maura was beyond helpful and extremely quick with getting back to me with any of my questions. We then worked with Lexy for all of our main details and questions. Lexy is probably the kindest person you will ever meet! Lexy was also extremely prompt with answering any questions and always eased any anxiety or stress I had about certain details of the wedding. I had a makeup crisis after our ceremony and Lexy quickly ran to me, asked me for the room number and address for where she could find my makeup bag, drove over there, and was back within 15 minutes to help me fix it! THANK YOU FOR THAT LEXY!!! My day of coordinator was Brittany, and even though you only work with that coordinator for a few days before the wedding and the day of day, I felt like I had known her for much longer when it came time for her to start helping out. Brittany was SO on top of everything and made everything run so smoothly. Her and Lexy together were the dream-team. Besides the amazing staff, Herrington is just stunning. I have had so many compliments from guests that it was the most beautiful wedding they had seen. Everything ran smoothly and I really felt like I had the most perfect day and wish I could relive it all over! Thank you Herrington for everything!

re site is absolutely stunning. I really wish I could post pictures from my wedding because this place really is gorgeous. My husband and I fell in love with this venue upon our first visit and our experience only became increasingly better from there. This place is truly a one stop shop. The landscaping was so beautiful I didn't need a florist, our wedding coordinator was such a super lady I didn't need a wedding planner, the price was much more reasonable compared to other locations (and they didn't offer have of the services) and they had beautiful lodging directly across from the venue (that showed free movies on the beach at night btw) so it was really simply to plan my wedding even though my guests thought I must've put a lot of thought and money into my big day! Our guests were so impressed that to this day they are still calling us to tell us how much fun they had and that our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been too! I really have to credit Ms. Brittany Bergendahl in particular. Brittany really went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make my husband, my guest and I feel like royalty. She was very knowledgeable from the planning period all the way up to my wedding day, super patient (considering my ever changing visions for my big day) and really accommodating. I honestly can't thank her enough. The Herrington on the Bay is an exquisite venue, but it will always be infinitely better than other locations because wonderful staff members like Brittany. Thank you Herrington on the Bay family!

rom the linens, to the food (which everyone is STILL raving about ... they even made a family recipe at our request), seating, linens, lighting, full bar, staff - everything was only a matter of choice. Not to mention, our day would not even have been possible without the vision, patience and communication of Brittany Bergendahl who truly did all of that and then some. We are still in absolute awe! Brittany always made sure to check in with us and ask how I was doing and kept everyone so incredibly organized so that I would not have to. Our VIP server for the night was never far from us in case we needed a drink, food or anything else. I cannot say enough about the staff at Herrington On The Bay who truly made our day absolutely perfect. It just would not have been possible without them. I'm not sure how to even put into words how amazing our day was. Thank you will never been enough to demonstrate how grateful we are to HOTB and their entire team for helping to make our wedding day absolute magic.

ood! Everyone was helpful and communicative.

scenery. Brittany and Lexy helped us plan the most perfect day of our lives and during the wedding were present and extremely helpful throughout the entire night! They are both so organized, efficient, and helpful when it comes to anything about weddings! I highly recommend Herrington on the Bay for anyone who is looking, truly the best!!!

organized. Our day of coordinator, Jordyn, also did a great job making sure we stuck to the timeline and everything was in place. Herrington went above and beyond to make sure our day went by smoothly and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

elle and Laura were incredible and so communicative the entire process. Both of them were life savers from the day we booked, They handled everything the day of and things could not have gone more smoothly. The food is incredible, the venue is stunning, and the service you will receive throughout planning your wedding will be fantastic. Thanks for helping us create our dream day!!

ed the wedding a little over a year before the actual wedding. We had visited 5 venues before Herrington, and Herrington was the last one because it is so beautiful. The food was amazing. We started out with one planner, got so much done with her then several months later we were told she left. It wasn't a big deal, we had done so much with her that there were notes so the new planner (who was just as good) was able to take over without a hitch. I wasn't worried. We met our day of planner a couple of months later. We met with her, the meeting went well. She even told us that there wasn't another wedding that day so we can take our first look pictures at the other site. A month or two before the wedding we were told that our day-of planner was on leave and we had another new person (who was amazing!). The rehearsal is on you, you won't have a coordinator that day, which might not have been a problem except now the other day of coordinator was going to be there that day to do the ceremony (no one told me until the night before when I called and had another question). She at the ceremony sent me out early before my song came on. I can get over that, no one remembers those details, but being told something that wasn't true bothers me. There was actually another wedding going on that day so our first look was a scramble and someone had to get a hold of Herrington to send their bus early to help all the bridesmaids go to the other site to take pictures. All the while my dad had to drive me over while the photographer drove my husband over to do the first look. Overall the wedding was amazing, the scenery was beyond gorgeous, the food was great, and we got to meet a good chunk of their staff. After all of that, I would still recommend them, because it is beautiful and they are a well-oiled machine that is extremely knowledgable.

at the venue we knew it was the one. Stepping onto the Polynesian Lawn I could instantly envision me and my dad walking down the aisle with my husband waiting for me at the end. It is beyond beautiful- right on the water, extremely private, the "altar" is framed with a beautiful wooden pergola and palm trees, and the entire ceremony location is surrounded by perfectly landscaped flowers. Truly breathtaking. Right next door is the Paradise Ballroom which is not your average tent- it is a massive semi-permanent structure that they put up in April and take down during the winter. Absolutely gorgeous! The sides of the tent can be zipped off so you can enjoy the crosswinds and the open, outdoor feel. We had 115 people at our wedding and everyone fit EXTREMELY comfortably. Cocktail hour takes place right outside on the patio so your guests can enjoy a view of the water. Let's talk about the service. Herrington provides the most FANTASTIC service! Every meeting we attended we were offered food & drinks- we got to try a ton of appetizers free of charge and just really felt at home. The food is fantastic! Herrington, specifically Brittany, made the planning process SO easy! I kept feeling like I was forgetting something, but I wasn't! They are absolute pros. The day of the wedding there were no hiccups (or at least none that we knew about!) The staff is extremely professional, the entire day ran on time and most importantly, we were not stressed at all about the details. We knew that we were taken care of and we truly got to enjoy ourselves. Let's talk about the entire venue- there is an inn which I can not recommend enough! The families and wedding party stayed here which was beyond convenient. Thursday night we had our rehearsal dinner at the East Beach tent which I would highly recommend. They also have equipment for a slideshow which was a highlight of the night and the option for a beach bonfire. We LOVED having our wedding here on a Friday because we got to enjoy all day Saturday on the beach! We all had dinner Saturday night at Ketch 22, the restaurant on the property. It was frustrating that Ketch 22 didn't stay open past 11pm since we wanted to have our wedding after party there, but instead we booked the Inn's Osprey and Blue Heron suite (which is essentially a private house) and we threw our own after party which definitely ended up being way more fun! The open house that they have 2x a year was a fantastic way to meet vendors. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with vendors who are familiar with Herrington, ESPECIALLY photographers. The ONLY stressful part with Herrington was the rain back up plan- either to have your guests sit at their tables inside the tent or pay extra for a tent extension to cover the cocktail patio area and have the ceremony there. Talk through these options to make sure you are comfortable. That didn't end up mattering for us- we had the most PERFECT day- breezy, partly cloudy, low 80s with 0% chance of rain. Every time we visited we had good weather. Me, my husband and our families will be eternally grateful to Herrington on the Bay. We plan on visiting it every year to enjoy their amenities and reminisce for hopefully many years to come.

ws are fantastic and I don’t think I could of done it without them. It was truly the perfect venue for us. I can not recommend it enough to any future brides.

e after went planned exactly as they outlined And then, on the big day Herrington’s A’ced it for Chanel & Paul and all of us Each and every guest complimented us on the venue “this place is amazing “ Many many thanks to each and everyone of you Jessie and Brielle and the staff If we had 4 daughters I am sure you would see us 3 more times Just an amazing picture perfect wedding

how great a wedding we had! The entire staff was so kind and accommodating as well!

ngton were Brielle & Laura. Brielle really helped kick things off for us with Laura being our day of Event Coordinator. I cannot say enough good things about these two ladies as everything was beyond what we expected. Their communication, check-ins leading up to our date, follow up items, etc was so on point as well as their overall professionalism. The day of our wedding all HOTB staff were prepared and courteous to our guests. All of our guests REALLY enjoyed all the food, the atmosphere and everything about this venue. Even the day of our wedding – Laura & Staff really took care of us specifically by checking in with us to make sure everything was going the way we wanted, seeing if we needed anything or anything they could do for us, making sure we had enough food / were drinking water and kept everything moving smoothly. We cannot thank you enough for making our day such a great wedding and making all the planning leading up to it such a breeze! This Venue is beautiful, staff is amazing, food is great – 100% would recommend to anyone!!

nd alcohol package to fit the needs of our big day. The food is absolutely amazing and the kitchen staff was able to provide options for some of our family members that have dietary needs. I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding in any season!!!! Thank you Adira and Brittany for making our wedding day, a day that myself, my husband, family and friends will never forget. You both went above and beyond to make our day unique and personal.

the date you were lucky enough to find. Then, come back and keep reading. My husband Brandon and I cannot even begin to put into words all the great things about this venue and every single one of their team members. From their incredible coordinators/planners, to the chefs, bartenders, facilities crew, and servers every single person at this venue was there to help make our weekend the best one yet. We had the opportunity to work with Lexy, Hayley, and Brittany directly for our big day and send off brunch. They were there for us every second of the planning process from the moment we stepped through their doors until the very last donut and breakfast bite was taken the morning after. They went above and beyond to make sure every single one of our requests could be met and made recommendations for things we had not thought of before. I cannot imagine a more perfect place to have an event with a menu that can become as creative as you want to make it and service that is unmatched by any other. The area is the perfect place for a weekend getaway and is a place many of our guests have told us they will now return to again in the future. Our wedding weekend was a dream and we owe it all to Herrington on the Bay! We made a lifetime of memories in a weekend and hope to return for as many of our anniversaries as we possibly can.

miss any detail, and were flexible with changes to menu and inevitable last minute guest changes. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and everything went very smoothly. It was overall a great experience working w/ the Herrington staff for our wedding, and we also had great experiences working with several of the vendors on Herrington's preferred vendors list.

er was very shaky during our wedding day but somehow, everyone was able to make it run smoothly and perfectly. The Inn also has great suites and food was amazing for our reception. Highly recommended and would not hesitate to tell anyone else to have their wedding or any special occasion here.

ura was a warm, friendly, informative experience without the pressure of sales tactics to spend more. Actually, after expressing our desires vs our budget, every attempt was made to fulfill our wishes. In the initial meeting, we also had the privilege of meeting and spending time with Chef Jennifer and the owner, Anna, both very personable and professional...true experts in their field! The friendly atmosphere, farm-to-table fresh cuisine, delicious beverages, prompt responses and structure is what sold us! The planning and organization with our Event Specialist, Lexy was AWESOME!!! We designed and carried out plans for our wedding without a formal wedding planner, which was a scary feat for us first-timers in itself. But every time I spoke with Lexy, I developed a sense of calm. Lexy's attention to detail, great sense of humor, and helpful ideas were exactly what we needed to help us have such a beautiful outdoor wedding on 09 June 2019...despite the intermittent showers. The staff were very friendly, gracious, and catered to our every request. Throughout the 4-month planning process, Lexy kept in communication with us to follow up, just to ensure we were on track for deadlines, or needed any assistance. I was most impressed with her response rate to my random inquiries or notices, usually within a 24-hour period, sometimes within an hour! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Herrington on the Bay! I honestly don't have anything bad to say about this beautiful location.

! Seating, linens, food, etc. We just had to pick what we liked! Not only was planning super fun with their two AMAZING team members, Lexy and Brielle, our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Lexy Buchanan and Brielle Woods went above and beyond for us. Lexy helped me take my shoes off and put them back on while I was in-between photos as well as help me carry my train, ask how I was doing, and kept me calm. Brielle helped us pick all the right details and was always just as excited as us. Jordyn Callahan was never far from us if we needed a drink, food, or literally anything else. These team members made our day memorable and we couldn't have done it without them! Our day was filled with the most amazing people, and it was all because of Herrington on the Bay. I'm not sure how to even put into words how perfect our day was but thank you Herrington and team for making our day the most perfect and magical day ever. Thank you!

urant and bar onsite and the incredible market across the street, our guests had access to everything they needed for the entire weekend without having to leave the venue. It's a beautiful location right on the water, and the staff was truly amazing to work with. And the food was excellent. We have nothing but great things to say about the entire experience. The way the various aspects of the venue are broken up into two entities--hotel/pavilion/beach, and ceremony site/yacht club, made for sometimes challenging communication, but it was well worth it for the experience we ultimately had. If we got married another hundred times, I'd have every last wedding at Herrington.

ur first meeting. All of the staff are a pleasure to work with; they work with you to customize everything so that the wedding truly fits your vision and help you to stay within your budget. My fiancé and I absolutely loved the food (I think the crab dip is what sold him on the venue) and he actually looked forward to planning meetings because he knew that he would be given snacks at each one. They also make the planning process easy and stress-free; my fiancé and I are both finishing up med school and had a really busy fall, but Herrington totally took care of us every step along the way and made sure that we stayed on track. Most of our vendors were recommended by Herrington as well and we loved working with every single one of them. Not only have our guests not stopped raving about the food, but they also have not stopped talking about how lovely and relaxing the area is. I’ve had several family members say that they want to come back for a week-long stay! I had a lot of family come in early from out of town and was a bit worried about keeping everyone entertained, but they loved walking around enjoying the beach and the surrounding area. Herrington continued to wow us when it came to the actual day of our wedding. They made sure that everything ran smoothly, even when we had a few last minute changes in the order of events at our reception. They even give you your own personal waitress to get you food and drinks during the reception, which was amazing. The day was so perfect in every way. We wish that we could do it all over again and are so thankful to Herrington for making our day so special!

ful staff and the amazing organization skills of everyone we worked with especially Adria and Brielle - we couldn’t have had a better experience!!!! We are so thankful and grateful to everyone at Herrington. Wow just wow!!!

felt like a destination spot for us and our guests. We searched high and low for two months in Maryland AND in Virginia for venues and we knew the moment we walked into Herrington, that it was "the one." Not to mention, that the staff is so professional, kind and really knows the industry! It's such a breathtaking venue, and there is nothing like it here in MD. They also pamper you and make you feel so special. On our first day visiting the venue - they greeted us with coffee, champagne and the chef even prepared some sample menu options for us to try --- AT NO COST. It was an easy decision for us after our meeting and tour with them, that we couldn't imagine getting married at any other place. They also have a vendor party/event in which I highly recommend attending. They have so many vendors there that are recommend by the venue - from wedding dress vendors, to DJ's, travel agents, bakeries, lighting and limo companies...etc. We were able to book a lot of our vendors that day! The chef at Herrington also prepared many menu samples, making it easier for us to choose our dinner menu options. Every dish that was prepared was so delicious! We worked with Michelle and Mary on the planning and coordinating . They are THE BEST, and never disappointed. From day one, all the way to our wedding day they were in communication with us. I am so grateful for them, because they made the planning so easy and were very responsive to our many planning questions. On our wedding day, not only did the staff pamper us, but they always made sure were fed and had a drink in our hand. Our guests not only had the best time, but they were so amazed by the breathtaking venue and kept complimenting us on how amazing our wedding was. We are still getting compliments to this day! Most of our guests were traveling from out of town, so we wanted it to be memorable and worth their while- It definitely was..and more! Thank you Herrington for making our special day everything we dreamed of!

ngton Harbour as well where most of us stayed. We had the pleasure of working with Brittany as the event planner and Adria as the day of coordinator. They were amazing. Being that we live 5 hours away, we relied heavily on them to make sure everything was handled. Anytime we had any kind of request or needed a solution for even the smallest problem they had an answer. So if you are planning here and think “I don’t want to have to worry about XYZ” ask them and they’ll probably do it for you. The day of went off without a hitch to the point where not even the smallest thing was out of place. Everything happened on time and how we wanted it to. They even suggested a slight change in timeline when our ceremony was way faster than expected and it ended up being that much better. I can’t say enough about the job they do here. It is truly full service and would recommend it to anyone. Also, if you have the wedding here I highly suggest having the family and bridal party stay at the inn. They are equally accommodating and it makes for a great experience for everyone to be able to be basically on site.

, the patience, the ability to customize basically everything and so much more. I started with Janice as my coordinator and my fiancé and I loved her. She was patient and took her time to show and explain everything. We had a few switches with coordinators after that due to some changes but it was no ones fault so it was fine. So we worked closely with the owner until we found our permanent coordinator. The owner could not have been better. Anna helped by putting her time to speak with me OR my mother anytime we needed her. She even called just to check up. All the staff from coordinators, office staff, chefs, even a lighting guy I met the day before the wedding are all so on top of everything. Really makes you feel covered Incase you forget or miss anything. We were finally placed with Brittany. It was a perfect match. She saw my vision, worked with me to make it happen and even kept me grounded during a few late night emails when I thought I was in over my head. The day of the wedding rained, but stopped when we needed it so. We had the best wedding we could have even tried to imagine. Everyone talked about the venue, the food, the music, and we had the best time. We had Jordyn as our VIP server. She was not only there for me anytime I needed help but she made sure we were ok, taken care of and having the best time at all times. All in all I wish I could relive that night again and again. Everything was perfect. Ps. I can’t wait to use Herrington for catering. As a bride a groom we really didn’t get a chance to eat and enjoy all we picked( time goes by so fast) so we will be using catering as well as ordering their special cheesecake bites. The chefs deserve a round of applause as well. Yum!!!

rful planners, and made sure my entire day was taken care of. The staff members who helping in house were also amazing. The food was great, too! Herrington assisted us with our budget, several times, and were willing the change things around even just a few weeks before our wedding. The prices are a little steep, but SO worth it. This venue is to die for.

n we saw it as a family. It gave the romantic feel and offered beautiful scenery of the Bay . the grounds were nicely sculptured with multicolored flowers and greens. Mary,Event Designer had planned a very warm welcome with coffee and champagne to ours and Boby's family. Then she gave us a comprehensive tour of the compound with the options of indoor and outdoor venues . We asked all the questions we could think of. The planning meetings during the year happened to take place on real heavy rain days.Mary shuttled us in a van and took care of all small details of umbrellas and drop off spots to the different parts of the venue and always gracious. What confirmed our good choice is the process. In between meetings emails flowed back and forth and Mary made us feel that she was taking the planning journey with us. We asked all questions and she responded in details offering alternatives and options as the planning moved forward. We definitely enjoyed the reception weekend which is a very useful experience. At that event in December we were treated to sampling a variety of foods and cuisines that Herrington offers as menu for the wedding . We also had an opportunity to meet many vendors at the same place and time . So we ended up contracting the photographer and florist . This opportunity saves great amount of time and is a good reference. Our Special Coordinator Jesse has been a delight to work with . Talk about problem solving ! Her attention to details her graciousness and patience are inspiring during the count down to the Wedding Day. She was awesome especially when it came to little loose ends on the wedding day itself. She is on top of her game. She organized her staff and dedicated a Coordinator for the Bride and Groom who was focused on their every need. The weather turned out gorgeous on a hot summer day in July. The Wedding photos showed the beautiful Herrington on the Bay scenery and a divine sunset on that Day . We are so happy Nayla and Bobby chose Herrington on the Bay venue for their Special Day . We had a lot of fun and joyous experience planning with the Staff and celebrating on the wedding day itself Haifa Bautista Mother of the Bride

staff at Herrington on the Bay went above and beyond their individual roles to accommodate us. Brittany (our quarterback) and our day of event coordinator (Adria) were always available to talk to and answered our numerous emails, texts, and calls promptly. Even when it rained on our wedding day, the staff was able to make the proper last minute changes to make our wedding the best experience possible for us and our guests. We would recommend Herrington on the Bay in a heart beat to any family and friends.

are of us from beginning to end and made our visions come to life. We were assigned Adria Moore as our wedding coordinator and I knew the first time we met her that she would be in total control the day of the wedding! Everything was organized and set up exactly the way we wanted it. Gorgeous venue, talented designers and coordinators, excellent food and drinks - a dream come true for all of us!

okes that would be posted online about wedding planning & couldn’t related because Herrington kept us on track with everything! When we learned about hurricane florance in the mid Atlantic it was extremely stressful, Brittany kept me calm every step of the way! The week before my wedding when the hurricane was still going to be felt in Maryland, the owners, tent companies, and event coordinators had a meeting to decided about rescheduling the weekend events, which included mine. Brittany kept me informed with every decision that was made, & explained why each decision was made. Luckily, my wedding was not cancelled, nor was my wedding a hurricane wedding! It was a gorgeous tropical paradise wedding day!

Yacht Club. When we first visited the venue in the fall of 2017, we met the owner, Anna, our event designer, Brielle, and one of the chef’s, Jennifer. They had drinks and food options for us to taste test and spent a lot of time touring us and answering our questions. From day one up until our wedding day, the Herrington staff treated us like royalty and were always so pleasant and professional. We definitely recommend going to the welcome reception, where we got to try some food and meet their preferred vendors. We were introduced to our day of event coordinator, Lexy, a couple months before our wedding. Lexy and Brielle were extremely responsive, friendly, and gave great recommendations in the planning process, including our DJ and officiant. For our rehearsal dinner, Herrington recommended Skippers Pier about 15-20 min. away. We had dinner on the rooftop which was beautiful. For hotel accommodations, our guests stayed at the Inn at Herrington Harbour, right on site, and others at the Chesapeake Beach Resort & Spa, 10-15 min. away. We reserved a shuttle for both the rehearsal dinner, and for guests at the Chesapeake Resort, which was convenient and worked out great. Both Brielle and Lexy definitely made us feel at ease every step of the way, and the wedding day was flawless. Brielle was there wedding day and Lexy made sure everything went smoothly and in a timely manner all day. Thank you to Herrington; we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!!! Vendors we had and definitely recommend: Officiant - Ed Choy Photographer - James with 88 Love Stories DJ - CJ with Crow Entertainment Florist - Amy with Crimson & Clover Designs Vintage Veils - Hair/Make-Up Shuttle - Bayside Limos Honeymoon Travel - Christi with Travel Bug

to be. The beauty of the location speaks for itself, but beyond that the food and service was impeccable. Our day-of-coordinator actually resigned just a couple of weeks before our wedding, and they went over the top to make sure we were comfortable with Jessie, who turned out to be excellent. Cannot speak higher of this place!

, leading up to what would be the most amazing day of our lives. Months of planning, from big picture to the tiniest detail, and we never once felt like the HOTB staff wasn’t there to support us. Let’s start at the beginning: My husband I were introduced to Brittany at the beginning of our planning stages. We were still settling in on a date, and a variety of variables including school and work schedules, were still up in the air to determine whether our wedding would take place in the Summer of ’17 or ’18. Brittany created multiple quotes for each scenario that we were considering, enabling us to compare and come to the decision that fit best for us. Once we had a date, Brittany got right to work on every detail. My husband and I are both planners, and came with a binder-full (an actual binder-full) of ideas, samples and specifics of what we wanted to include. Brittany took our ideas and rolled with them, and offered us her own insights that helped tie everything together! Flash-forward a couple of months, and we are introduced to our day-of coordinator, Sam. Sam was incredible! She worked with all of our vendors to ensure every detail was taken care of, and that we were free to enjoy every moment of our big day! Lexy and Kelsey were also instrumental in helping make everything such a success. Lexy is such a joy to be around and makes everyone feel at ease and seemed to be there to help every time the smallest issue arose! And at the eleventh hour, when we could not get our DIY programs printed, Kelsey came to the rescue and took so much time out of her day to help us get them printed in the office. The entire team makes it their mission to make your wedding day perfect. The venue itself is stunning! We couldn’t count the amount of times our guests told us how perfect the venue looked, and how this was “the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to!” We owe that all to the team at HOTB! Every detail from the table settings, to the views, to the incredible food were perfect, and made our day more special that we ever could have hoped!

were incredibly attentive above and beyond what we would ever expect. The entire venue staff put together a truly gorgeous event and perfected every last detail. Both my wife and several of our friends and family have dietary concerns (allergies, vegetarian, etc) and the kitchen created special (delicious) meals for them all. From start to finish, Herrington was wonderful to work with and we wouldn’t recommend them enough!

't, she would get the answer and get right back to me. She gave me layouts and timelines to help me stay organized and anything I needed to change or adjust, she would update it to how I liked it. Brielle made the wedding planning process very stress free. Herrington on the Bay was there to help my big day run smoothly and make my Disney fairy tale wedding perfect! The food was delicious! So many guests raved about the dinner! All of my centerpieces, decorations, napkins, plates, etc were in perfect placing. They made sure everything was set up according to my layout. Jordan was always there to serve us! She was great! Samantha was on top of the timeline to make it run smooth! Herrington on the Bay is a beautiful venue to get married at and they are so helpful! Thank you Herrington on the Bay for giving us our Happily Ever After! Love, Nicole and Brian Follmeyer 07.07.18

cess much easier than I could imagine. I highly recommend Herrington on the Bay for your special day! Some photos from our special day: http://www.alliebeckley.com/venkeandheath/

alism, cheerful attitudes, and on-par suggestions made for a perfect event. Our decor, linen choices, bar options, delicious meal and late nite bites were exactly what my daughter wanted. Brittany even had suggestions for car service for out of town guests at other hotels. The day of the wedding, Adria completely took control and created a beyond beautiful reception complete with outdoor cigar area, photo guest book, magical lighting - we could not have been happier! The weather forecast was not the best, but they allowed us to make the call to be outside at the very last moment possible. Despite the blustery day - the ceremony was beautiful! I would recommend Herrington on the Bay to anyone who wants a bayside wedding - they will not be disappointed! Tip - attend the open house once you book! Their recommended vendors are top notch!

never interferes with our wedding. Each time we had to visit the venue to meet with our event designer or event coordinator, we would be treated so wonderfully. Always would get served food and drinks. Their catering does such a great job; the food was delicious! Our event designer Brielle Woods was absolutely amazing! She was very kind and helpful. I also recommend staying at the rooms on site, The Inn. Very beautiful rooms and so convenient that everything is in walking distance! I’m so sad my amazing weekend at Herrington is all over now. Definitely plan on going back to stay for our first anniversary ! :D

The staff was extremely responsive, attentive and professional. They answered my emails promptly and gave clear direction and information. They communicated frequently and effectively. We worked directly with Gina and Brittany and they were so amazing at ensuring every detail was covered and also gave opinions when asked. Herrington on the Bay has the most amazing food. And we were so happy that everytime we went, they were there with drinks and snacks for us to try. Their vendor fair is amazing! Definitely go, if you get the opportunity. When working with our vendors, they were also relieved when we said our wedding was being held at Herrington, because they are so well respected within the wedding community. We whole-heartedly recommend Herrington on the Bay! You, your family and your guests will be so happy to have the Herrington experience!

I stumbled across Herrington, it’s like it was made for my wedding vision. My parents, fiancé and I met with Brittany on a cold, rainy and gross January day – Herrington was still beautiful. I figured if it could look this pretty when it was so gross outside, it had to be stunning in May. We spent 2.5 hours touring around the property and the Inn. Brittany drove us through Chesapeake Beach and we couldn’t believe how charming this area of Maryland was that was so close, yet we had never heard of. We sat down to talk details and had some of their crab dip (best ever), deep dish pizzas and took home some crumb cake. It was love at first meeting. We cancelled our other site visits because we knew there was no better place to have our wedding than Herrington on the Bay. We loved the cozy feel of the property, that our guests could stay so close at the Inn and the view from the Paradise Ballroom. It was easy to imagine our guests dancing the night away while gazing at the bay. From start to finish, Brittany and Lexy went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. They were responsive, detail oriented (we share a fondness and appreciation for a good spreadsheet), fun to work and have become friends over the course of planning. Herrington is a dream come true and we are so happy (and lucky) to have celebrated our big day at this incredible venue.

essed by the top notch staff, amenities and food there! They all worked to make our wedding day perfect despite the rain. Highly recommend! Special thanks to Brittany and Nicole! You are fantastic!

rmed on what was happening and when. I was amazed at the level of organization they have as a team. The venue includes so many great things including food and alcohol. Plus they gave me a list complete with all the venders and hotels in the area just in case I needed them. I looked at multiple venues in the area before settling on this one and I’m soooo happy I did!!!
