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. Itâs 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 wonât 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 wonât regret it! Reviewed on 16-01-2024

I recently had the pleasure of working with Amber Hand as my wedding coordinator and Teresa Clark as my planner and I can honestly say we could not have asked for a better experience! Teresa was extremely well-prepared and organized throughout the entire process - from our initial meeting to the day of the wedding, Amber and Teresa was attentive to all the details and made sure everything went smoothly. They are also great listeners and was able to take my vision and bring it to life in the most amazing way. On the day of our wedding, They went out of their way to make sure the ceremony and festivities were running perfectly and made it a truly special and memorable experience for both me and my husband. Thanks to Amber and Teresa I can confidently say that my wedding was a success! I highly recommend their services.~ July 16 2023 ForeverFoxx Reviewed on 18-11-2023

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. Reviewed on 06-11-2023

SimplyâŠperfect. 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!!! Reviewed on 01-11-2023

Taresa was our wedding coordinator and I now consider her a friend. She was ALWAYS there for me and we knew that we could trust her with our wedding. Katie was our day off and I couldnât say enough great things about them as a team. Every time I needed something, no matter what time, they were there and made it happen. Our wedding was an absolute dream, even with the weather circumstances, and I would highly recommend Herrington on the bay, and the âKatie + Taresa teamâ to anyone. Thank you so very much and I look forward to seeing more beautiful pictures and celebrations of other weddings that you put together on social media! Wish we could do it all over again!

BOOK ASAP, YOU WON'T REGRET IT! I booked about a year out (highly suggested as this venue sells out quick). My husband and I were blown away during our initial consultation/meeting. Their professionalism & presentation were so exciting that we booked the same day!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.

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. Reviewed on 16-10-2023

The easiest 'yes' and least stressful decision you'll make throughout your wedding planning. Not only is HOTB - Paradise Ballroom - a beautiful venue that needs literally no 'extras', the staff is top notch in all aspects. Taresa not only facilitated with making planning so easy but was genuinely kind and caring throughout the entire process. I gave her my vision and she made it happen. We never saw the venue prior to booking or did any food tastings but we're confident the venue would deliver an outstanding product based on their level of professionalism, transparency, personal and internet reviews. HOTB 100% exceeded our expectations. Amber was our day of coordinator and ensured she communicated with me the days leading up to the wedding to continue to make certain nothing slipped through the cracks. The entire day was flawless. The day of the wedding, the staff were all incredibly helpful and were there to be of assistance every time I turned around. They all made me feel like a true queen. Not once did I need to worry about a single thing because they were proactively making the day run smoothly. The HOTB team is one of a kind and do not disappoint. I was even amazed at how carefully/quickly they packed up the night despite the weather change right at the time of exit. Not one item was broken or damaged. I even had every single original wrapping/box for items I brought to the venue. Thank you so much for all the hard work put into making our day the BEST day for us and all of our guests.

This venue is 5 stars all around!!! We landed on Herrington after touring a few venues in the area, and although the price point was slightly higher it was SO worth it and one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. Lexy was our POC all the way leading up to our wedding and she went above and beyond every single time we contacted her. Even our wedding planner was impressed by how much Herrington took on. They make it SO easy and she answered every question with ease and grace. She even helped us with vendors. I can't even begin to put into words how amazing and integral she was in the entire planning process. Our day of planner was just as outstanding and the day went off without a hitch! The food is delicious and there's so much variety. Our guests raved about the arepa bar, the crab cakes, and even the tater tot bar. Overall the most amazing and magical venue. Reviewed on 23-09-2023

If you are seeking a garden or waterfront location, Herrington on the Bay is the perfect location for your special occasion. My daughter got married at Herrington on the Bay (May 2023) and the experience was magnificent. This waterfront venue provided a stunning backdrop and their top-of-the-line services and amenities are all inclusive. The staff was professional and accommodating. I can not say enough good things about this venue and the staff! The process was flawless from the moment we stepped foot on the venue and signed the contract.I worked directly with Taresa and Katie and they both went above and beyond to ensure that the day went off without any major concerns. Teresa is phenomenal and she did everything to make sure my daughter had her dream wedding, even running last minute errands. Both ladies were responsive, responsible, patient, organized, and made sure every detail was attended to. Their team completely managed the set up and break down, kept the evening on schedule, and Katie checked in with me throughout the event so I did not have to worry or stress. Katie and her team ensured there was never an empty glass or hungry stomach at the wedding. I highly recommend Herrington on the Bay. I loved the entire experience.

Unsure how to write a review that can fully capture how AMAZING the Staff at Herrington is. From our first tour with Kira from the Sales Team we knew that Herrington was where we wanted to have our big day. There are two venue options. We went with the Yacht Club. Though both venues are genuinely stunning in their own ways.Marcie, was our Event Specialist, and made the planning process as easy as possible. She was so quick with communication and incredibly organized. She answered questions promptly, laid out timelines clearly, and was overall just fun to work with!We were fortunate enough to have two wonderful Day of Coordinators, Brittany and Melissa. Who were also just fabulous and so thorough with everything. Unfortunately the day of, we did have to transition to the indoor option last minute due to summer storms rolling in, but these ladies and the rest of the team made sure it was a quick transition from outside to in and it was still so, so wonderful even though it was not Plan A.Charlie, our Garden Attendant, who ended up having to set up the ceremony twice with the switch was also just amazing. Charlie was so sweet and fun to work with. He was willing to help with anything needed the day of. And for any future brides that work with him, he is the king of bustling dresses and will make sure that dress stays up all night long! Our guests complimented how wonderful the entire staff was the night of our wedding. From those mentioned previously to cocktail waiters and bartenders, everyone was attentive and friendly. The food at the wedding was amazing. Herrington has extensive options to choose from, that are all so delicious. They will work with you to create food options that are curated to your taste. Along with the food, the drinks were great as well! With different bar options and Signature Drinks to make sure your bar is just how you would like on your day.I feel like I could go on and on about the little details the team at Herrington did not only on our day but leading up to it that made everything so special. Picking a venue for your wedding is a huge choice, but I genuinely could not recommend Herrington enough to any engaged couple looking for a spot. To anyone on the Herrington Team seeing this, thank you again SO, SO much. Reviewed on 03-07-2023

She was very patient with all of our questions, addressing our many requests and changes throughout the process. She was available on our wedding day and handled our wedding with care. She worked diligently as if this was her wedding day and it was extremely special. As in every wedding day, very minor/small things happened but Taresa handled everything and the day was completely stress free for the bride / groom, wedding party and guests. I am sure that there were things that we weren't even aware of. Katie was our day of coordinator and they worked very well as a team. I would recommend this duo to coordinate all of their future weddings. We received many phone calls/emails during this process just to check in with us and see if all of our questions and needs were met/answered. We have also received follow up calls after our event. We highly recommended Herrington on the Bay as your venue. Reviewed on 01-12-2022
Kayla Flaten(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-10-2022 Herrington on the Bay is the absolute best place to get married. From the beautiful garden to the amazing interior, to the even better staff, everything was amazing for our wedding. Our coordinator, Marcie, was truly a savior to us on our day. She had already worked so diligently with us leading up to our wedding, answering my many questions and working to find the best options for our vision in our budget. The day of we had some issues with other vendors, and Marcie and her team went absolutely above and beyond to turn the day around for us. I was so stressed out and every time I turned around Marcie was there making everything better. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue, the staff, the food and drinks (especially our signature drink!), and about Marcie specifically. For our guests to complement the venue and food/beverage was what I was hoping for as those were two main reasons we picked Herrington, but for them to compliment the staff and how much they added to our day truly showed me beyond any doubt that we picked the right place. If we could get married again, we would absolutely be doing it at Herrington. Thank you for making our wedding truly the best day of our lives!

From the very first email I sent to Herrington, they were the most kind and responsive venue that I talked to. Then when we took a tour with Laura she was fantastic, and we were blown away with how beautiful the Herrington property is and how they are set up. We immediately booked our date after the tour, there was no question! And since booking our date every single person that weâve talked to at HOTB has been amazing!

Everything went so smoothly, everything was decorated to perfection, I could go on for days about all the great things that Marcie and HOTB did. And the food!!

We got married June 25, 2022 in the Herring Bay Garden and had the reception in the Yacht Club. We had a 10 month time frame from booking to our wedding, so we had to move quickly to get everything planned. Marcie and Brittany are an absolute dream to work with - from planning meetings, communication, answering ALL of our questions and inquiries. We had a plan for a tropical glam vibe; we wanted everyone to feel like they were on vacation. Marcie and Brittany worked with the event staff, chefs, bar tenders, and everyone else to help our dream come to life. Most of all, they were genuinely happy for us throughout the process. They made us feel celebrated, loved, and supported in every interaction, meeting, and on the big day. I truly cannot recommend them enough. Our garden attendant, Charlie, was incredible. Charlie was calm, cool, collected, and above and beyond helpful. Charlie fulfilled every request quickly and cheerfully. The venue itself is *almost* as incredible as the team. Everyone kept asking âhow did you find this place?? This is the most beautiful wedding Iâve ever seen!â The garden is truly picturesque and the Yacht Club is gorgeous. The split level works great to separate areas of the reception. The patio and balcony are beautiful outdoor escapes for guests to enjoy the sunset. When we went to take our sunset pictures, we noticed many of our guests were taking advantage of golden hour overlooking the harbor. There is ample parking across the street from the venue. It was important to us to find a venue that had catering onsite because we wanted the food to be fresh, hot, and delicious. Herrington went above and beyond to help us get incredible food. For weeks after the wedding, guests remarked to us âIâve been to a lot of weddings, and this food was beyond the best.â For cocktail hour, we served passed crab dip bites, chicken and waffles (BIG hit!), a dip station, and an arepa bar. We also had a craft beer tasting and pretzel bite station, which our guests loved. For dinner, we served a summery salad followed by chicken and salmon, mushroom risotto, and seasonal vegetables. During dancing, we served passed mini pina coladas, which of course was so much fun! We cannot recommend Herrington on the Bay enough. They truly take care of everything throughout the planning process and the day of your event.

Alicia Charland(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-06-2021 I cannot say enough about how wonderful the rehearsal dinner that I held for my son at the barn which is affiliated with Herrington on the Bay. All the event specialist and staff that I worked with⊠Laura, Lexi, the two Brittanyâs, Taylor, and Kenzie, weâre 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.

Jeni Coster(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-05-2021 We highly recommended Herrington on the Bay. We got married in May at Honeyâs Harvest Farm and got ready at the Inn at Herrington Harbor. Both made gorgeous backdrops for our special day. From the first meeting down to our big day, everything went 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!

Tanisha Washington(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-05-2021 WOW! Where to start. We made the decision to change our wedding location from Nassau, Bahamas to MD due to the pandemic. From the moment we stepped onto the grounds of Herrington on the Bay we knew we found our venue. It was our Bahamas in 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 âdestinationâ wedding at the beautiful hidden tropical gem otherwise known as Herrington on the Bay!

Laura was the sales representative 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. Reviewed on 18-01-2021
Angela Palmeri(maid of honor)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-12-2020 I met with Kira this summer to help plan my sister's wedding. Kira was super helpful and responsive from the second I reached out to her. We went for a tour and were blown away by the beauty of the ceremony and reception spaces! Herrington on the 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! Reviewed on 11-12-2020
Callai Reed(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2020 We had SO MUCH FUN with HOTB planning our Oct 2020 wedding! All the staff are incredible but special shout out to Lexy, our coordinator, who we adore and is SO dang good at her job! Thank you for accommodating all our annoying last minute changes ;) 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. Reviewed on 26-10-2020
Kelly Curtis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-09-2020 Herrington is the premier place to be! We threw down a gauntlet and they followed through with the challenge. We love tater-tots and their amazing chef staff were able to deliver with their first ever tater-tot bar! We loved it, our guests loved 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!

Virginia Lewis(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2020 Herrington on the Bay (HOTB) was a joy to work with to make this wedding very special. To start, the venue was beautiful!! So many flowers and a great view of the water. A BIG SHOUT OUT to the chefs!! Everyone loved the food at the rehearsal 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!!

Our original wedding date was in April 2020. It was a wild ride, but Brittany, Lexy, and Ryan combined forces to make it happen! I've never worked with an organization so responsive to emails.

Nikol Smith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-07-2021 We fell in love with Herrington on the Bay from the moment we stepped foot on their beautiful property. Rewind to 2 years ago, we just happened to have one of our first dates at Ketch 22, which lead to us wandering around the beautiful property 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 âminimoniesâ 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! Reviewed on 15-07-2020
