Same time next week??? PLEASE!!

Where to start…our whole journey with Shepherds Run was 5 starts from start to finish. The welcoming staff, the attention to detail, the support and responsiveness…impressive to say the least. Jackie and Rowan were nothing short of amazing, from the day we toured the venue the very first time to the very end of our wedding day. Every question & small detail was discussed thoroughly to make sure our day was as seamless as possible. To say a venue is expensive in this day is just obvious, because what part of a wedding isn’t pricey. But this was money well spent!! They handled it ALL. Our Teams and planning calls made me feel so taken care of and never left me worried that something wouldn’t get done. Also, Aaron at Shepherds Run who takes care of the B&B side of things, was so sweet and responsive when we needed help with room blocks or food for our groomsman and bridal party. The attention to detail was top tear. We will always keep Shepherds Run in a special spot in our hearts. Once we toured this spot for our venue, there was truly no need to look elsewhere!

Special place

I can’t recommend Shepherds Run highly enough. If you are getting married there you are in good hands with Jackie and the rest of the staff. The grounds are beautiful and charming. A perfect place for a wedding.

Simply the best!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Shepherd’s Run, Blackstone Caterers and their teams. From start to finish, our wedding experience was 10/10 perfect—truly the wedding of our dreams. Every detail was executed flawlessly, and the entire day ran so smoothly thanks to their incredible coordination.

The coordinators and staff went above and beyond, not only making everything seamless behind the scenes, but also making us feel genuinely cared for. They are unbelievably talented at what they do, but even more than that, they are such kind, thoughtful, and fun people to be around. By the end of the process, we didn’t just feel like clients—they felt like friends.

Our guests are still raving about the venue, the atmosphere, and how effortless everything felt. We wouldn’t change a single thing about our day, and that is entirely thanks to this amazing team.

If you are looking for a wedding venue and staff who will exceed every expectation, look no further. We are forever grateful to Shepherd’s Run and Blackstone Caterers for giving us the most perfect day imaginable.

Wedding of my dreams

The entire process of working with Shepherd’s Run, from the time we toured the venue to the day of my wedding in August 2025, was an absolutely seamless process. Rowan, our coordinator, is extremely attentive and fast to respond and was flexible to bring my exact vision to life, no matter what it took! The day-of execution was absolutely flawless and I couldn’t have imagined a better day. Would recommend this venue ten times over!!

Shepherd's Run is 10/10

My husband and I got married at Shepherd's Run in August 2025 and we truly could not have asked for a better venue. We were taken care of throughout the entire process, the team's communication and attention to detail were phenomenal. We worked with Blackstone Caterers for the food and event planning and everything could not have run more smoothly. Rowan/Jackie (Blackstone) and Aaron (Shepherd's Run) are experts in their craft. You are in good hands with this venue!

Perfect Rhode Island Summer Wedding Experience

I got married at Shepherd's run this past August and could not speak higher of the venue and level of service that Rowan and Jackie provide. You can tell they are seasoned professionals that have thought through every single detail of the day as well as contingency plans. My day was well organized, executed, and by the time the actual wedding morning came around I didn't have to think or worry about a single things besides enjoying myself.

Most amazing place!!

We just got married at Shepherd's Run in August of this year and it was truly the BEST venue we could have asked for. From the start, we were in awe of how beautiful Shepherd's Run is and the different locations on the site we could choose from for the ceremony and reception. We ended up having the ceremony in the garden and the reception in the tent which turned out to be the most beautiful locations we could have dreamed of. Jackie and Rowan were extremely helpful, FUN to work with and attentive throughout the entire wedding process. They helped us with anything and everything while giving such honest advice and feedback. They had such good experience and knew Shepherd's Run so well that the planning and day of went so smoothly. Our guests continue to rave about how beautiful and fun of a venue Shepherd's Run was and how special of a place it is. Our guests enjoyed the venue all weekend long including wine tastings, yoga classes and the pool which was a really special touch to the weekend. We have a lot of guests traveling from out of state so it was convenient to have rooms on site and hotels within such a close distance to the venue. We also loved being able to get ready on site in the living room in the spa (and a hotel room for the groom/groomsmen). All in all, picking Shepherd's Run as our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made and we can't wait to continue going back to celebrate our anniversaries in the future!!

Our Everything

Our August 2024 wedding at Shepherd's Run was perfection! The first key feature we looked for in a venue was the ability to stay on site, and the second was beautiful and modern design/architecture; Shepherd's Run nails both. We and our guests booked most of the Inn's rooms so the weekend felt really ours and intimate. Guests loved the wine bar and we loved working with Blackstone caterers, their dinner was elevated and delicious. The Inn's breakfasts are also incredible and Aaron the Innkeeper is such a pleasure to work with. From our first tour all the way through execution, Rowan and Jackie were on top of every detail. Our event ran unbelievably smooth and we could not be more grateful for their support and organization. Thank you Shepherd's Run for bringing our wedding dream to life!! Can't wait to come back to visit on our anniversary.

Highly recommend Shepherd’s Run!

We had the most magical and beautiful wedding at Shepherd’s Run this June. We fell in love with this venue when we first saw it about two years ago and knew this was the place for our wedding. Jackie and Rowan made the wedding planning process so easy and smooth. Rowan was my go to person these last 6 or so months, always answering my (many) emails in a quick and timely manner. Rowan made the ceremony and cocktail hour run so smoothly, my husband and I are so grateful for her expertise! The Blackstone staff were amazing and everyone raved about the service and food. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
