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.

Have your wedding here

My wife and I had an idea of how our wedding day would unfold. But our experience at Shepherds Run exceeded even our wildest dreams. Jackie & Rowan take so much pressure off the planning process, they are always a phone call away, and clearly lay out next steps and key deadlines. The venue itself is immaculate, and the staff go above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. I cannot encourage you enough to have your wedding here. Truly you won't regret it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
