Based in North Beach, Maryland, Herrington on the Bay is an eco-lifestyle event design and catering venue offering an exotic escape for weddings and special events. For more than 30 years, Herrington on the Bay has been hosting celebrations of love overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. Celebrated for its waterfront accommodations, phenomenal sunsets, and beautifully manicured gardens, this destination will leave you weak in the knees and completely in love.

Facilities and Capacity

Herrington on the Bay offers two private waterfront wedding venue options as well as a brand-new rustic barn option. The first is the Herrington Yacht Club, with gardens, ballrooms, and a harborside patio. The maximum capacity for the yacht club is 170 guests. The other waterfront option is the Paradise Ballroom. This private coastal setting offers a pier, colorful gardens, and a tent structure to welcome up to 350 guests for a couple’s wedding. The tent features a white porcelain tile floor, a chandelier, and lighted ceiling drapes as a classy option for the reception. Throughout these venue spaces, couples will find waterfront ceremony locations such as pergolas and gazebos, as well as two-story indoor ballrooms with hardwood floors. The third option is a rustic barn located at the farm where Herrington on the Bay produces its produce for weddings. This spectacular tobacco barn can fit up to 150 guests and features authentic farm tables and wooden cross-back chairs. Overnight guests can travel just steps from the reception to lavish overnight accommodations at The Inn at Herrington Harbour. A wing of suites overlooks the wedding lawn at this resort, perfect for newlyweds on their wedding night. The Inn features a private beach with complimentary paddle boarding and kayaking. Choose from two pavilion spaces to host your rehearsal and send off brunch for a complete wedding weekend.

A Dream Wedding

Our wedding day at Herrington on the Bay was nothing short of magical, and it wouldn't have been possible without the incredible efforts of our event coordinators, Katie Briggs and Taresa Clark. The Herrington team has went above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we dreamed of and more.

Professional, enthusiastic, and genuinely compassionate for our vision - the planning process was seamless and enjoyable. And the efforts continue at the set-up and the special day. The team coordinated with all our vendors, managed the timeline, and oversaw the entire event flawlessly, allowing us and our families to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the occasion.

Top-notch. That’s the quality that the staff at Herrington on the Bay provides.

Absolutely amazing! 100% recommend

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!

Stunning, Simple, Perfect

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!!!
