Best Venue, Rain or Shine!
We had an amazing experience having our wedding at The Herrington. Racquel + Deanne + team were so easy to work with and made the entire planning process so seamless. On the day of, they handled everything to ensure it was a perfectly smooth day. Even though we had to move our wedding inside due to rain, it turned out to be the most beautiful indoor ceremony. Everyone at The Herrington made sure all the details were perfect. Could not recommend the venue or the team enough.

Best Day Ever!
I cannot say enough kind things about our experience having our wedding at The Herrington! Deanne and Racquel are absolute power houses and just the sweetest to work with. From the day I toured, their professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service was top notch. I could not have made it through the day without Deanne and Racquel's expertise, they really made our day flow easily and kept everything in check! Choosing the Herrington was easy for us, as we wanted a venue that included as many things as possible so that it could take the guess work out of having to hire too many additional vendors. The space is so gorgeous it doesn't even need excessive decoration. My guests raved about the food and drinks (seriously, shout out to the chefs because the food was DELICIOUS). The rooms to stay in were spacious and lovely. The weather was just perfect, and our ceremony in the courtyard could not have been more beautiful. Even with it being on the river, it was so quiet you could hear every word we spoke to each other during our ceremony. I could go on and on forever about how this truly was the best day ever. If you're a bride reading this and wondering if you should book your wedding at the Herrington, I'd say it'd be one of the smartest decisions you'll make!
Deanne and Racquel, thank you again from the bottom of mine and Liam's hearts for all of your help along the way. We couldn't have done it without you, and we hope to come back to celebrate in the future :)

Carrizales Wedding 5/23/26
Our wedding was absolutely amazing and truly perfect! Deanne and Raquel were wonderful to work with. They were incredibly helpful, made great recommendations, and went above and beyond to help us create the wedding of our dreams.
The staff was amazing throughout the entire night. They kept everything clean and organized, the food was hot and delicious, and of course, the drinks were flowing just the way we liked it!
The venue itself was beautiful, and we were so lucky to be able to have our wedding outside and enjoy the incredible view. The room was clean, spacious, and perfect for getting ready. There was more than enough space for our wedding parties to relax, get dressed, sing, dance, and have fun together.
The only area where we felt there was room for improvement was with the hotel management after our wedding. The next day, my sister-in-law noticed that her ring was missing, and we felt that management could have been more helpful and proactive in assisting us in looking into the situation. Unfortunately, we felt that they were somewhat defensive rather than understanding of our concerns.
Overall, though, we truly couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience. Deanne, Raquel, and the rest of the event staff helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect and so memorable, and we are incredibly grateful!

They work so hard to make your day special!
We got married here on June 21st with a non-traditional style wedding. We had a larger cocktail hour reception with a more intimate dinner reception, and Racquel and Deanne worked so hard to make our day as close to what we were envisioning as possible. The food, service, and accommodations go above and beyond and my husband and I were so thankful to be married here!

An Unforgettable Evening!
To say that the evening was amazing is an understatement!
Our daughter’s wedding was planned in just 30 days, and it was absolutely spectacular.
Raquel and Deanne went above and beyond to give our daughter and her husband, the wedding of their dreams. Their dedication, creativity, and attention to every detail made all of the difference and took away all of the stress during a very busy time.
Our guests raved about the delicious meal, the beautiful venue, and the wonderful s’mores that completed the night around a beautiful fire pit. The elegance of not only the evening, but how everyone was treated as a special guest by the entire staff made all the difference.
We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a truly magical and memorable celebration. Thank you to Raquel, Deanne and the entire staff for an amazing evening we will cherish forever!

Amazing venue with a truly superb staff!
From planning to execution, Deanne and her team were so great to work with! They provided excellent feedback, flexibility, utmost professionalism and a level of excitement towards our event that made it so contagious :) The custom drinks created with Kyle were so delicious and everyone raved about the food - from apps to dinner to outdoor s'mores and late night sliders. The historic elements of the Herrington elevated our wedding theme, and the layout was perfect. From indoor/outdoor areas as well as having a dance area completely separate from reception ((not having to break down tables to create a dance floor was a huge deal to us)) plus having a venue that isn't shared with another wedding on the same day allowed the staff to be fully present for us. Hands down, best venue!

Dream Wedding
Deanne, Racquel and the staff at the Herrington gave us the wedding of our dreams! It was beyond all expectations we had and will be cherished forever. The staff was very professional and attended to my bride's every need without hesitation or even asking. The venue was beautiful, and the rooms were amazing! All of the food from appetizers to the late-night snacks were perfect. We can't wait to go back for our anniversary!
