Best wedding ever

As soon as I toured Herrington on the Bay, I knew I wanted to get married here. From the beautiful scenery, amazing service & staff, and delicious food, I couldn't have asked for a better day!! It was truly the wedding of our dreams. A big shoutout to Lexy and Katie for being the best staff to work with to make our dream wedding come true! They both were always so quick to answer any questions we had and so helpful the day of our wedding making it run so smooth. I highly recommend getting married here!! It is such a hidden gem in Maryland, it really felt like a destination wedding.

This. Is. It!

I can't say enough how absolutely amazing Herrington on the Bay was for us. From the jump we felt so welcome and so lucky. My husband and I never thought two educators would be able to have a wedding like we did here, but it was everything we wanted and more!
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. The town is darling, the food is phenomenal, and the experience of having your dream wedding at Herrington is unmatched!

Obsessed with Herrington on the Bay!

We got married at the HOB yacht club on 10/11/24 and I truly cannot express how amazing everything was! From the beauty of the venue, to the ease of working with the staff, everything absolutely exceeded our expectations. The staff has been helpful and attentive since day 1 and they were amazing on the day of as well. They treated all our guests exceptionally and made sure that we, the bride and groom, had everything we needed at all times. Everyone raved about the food all weekend and truly it was some of the best wedding food I’ve ever had. We love HOB and can’t wait to be back in the future!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
