WOW! Where to start. My "now" husband and I 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 “destination” wedding at the beautiful hidden tropical gem otherwise known as Herrington on the Bay! -

This venue… once you get past the amazing view, you are greeted by the most amazing team out there. The Herrington team was so helpful throughout the entire process. They shared all options and helped guide us in the right direction as we planned our wedding. The team is open to almost any idea that exists and truly works with you to make your day so special. If it’s not on their menus, don’t be afraid to ask. The food is made on-site by their chefs and it’s so dang good. By the end of the experience, we loved how comfortable we felt asking questions, making comments, and just chatting with the team. Best all around experience I could have ever imagined.-

Gorgeous wedding day!
We are so thankful that we found and booked this venue. We loved our ceremony on the Polynesian Lawn - it was an absolutely gorgeous setting even on our chilly & windy November wedding day. And the Paradise ballroom tent for our reception was beautiful without even needing much extra decor. Our coordinators had been in touch throughout the whole planning process to help us put together the day we were dreaming of. We had wonderful wait staff and bar staff the day of, all of our guests enjoyed the food and drinks. And Marcie our day-of coordinator & Brittany our event coordinator were exceptional in making sure our vision for our wedding came to life, and that everything ran smoothly! Every detail we had gone over with them was executed perfectly. Couldn't recommend Herrington on the Bay more! -
