    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...

    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...

    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.

    Amazing Venue!

    Our wedding day exceeded our hopes and dreams thanks to coordinators, Jackie and Rowan. We booked this venue immediately upon our first visit due to its perfect balance of historical and contemporary charm. Jackie, Rowan and the rest of the team were so accommodating to our needs, especially when it unexpectedly rained an hour before our ceremony. They were quick to make sure our day ran as seamlessly as possible. We are so thankful to Shepherd's Run and Blackstone Catering for helping make our wedding day so special!

    April 2023 Wedding

    We had our spectacular wedding reception at Shepherd’s Run in April 2023. Working with all the folks at Shepherd’s Run and Blackstone, especially Jackie and Rowan, was a fantastic experience. We couldn’t say more about how professional the entire staff was and how easy it was to work with everyone. Throughout the entire process, we felt the team was organized, attentive and truly invested in us and our wedding day. Thank you to all we worked with!

    Fairytale DREAM Wedding

    We had our wedding at Shepherd’s Run on 7.15.22 and it was absolutely perfect. Like…nothing went wrong, our day/timeline ran smoothly, and we had the most fun we have ever had. Jackie is an actual angel and was a huge reason why we chose this venue (aside from how truly stunning it is). She’s so professional, good at her job, and genuinely fun to be around. Shepherd’s Run is GORGEOUS, and I could not imagine our wedding anywhere else. I can’t wait to come back for anniversaries, and many, MANY glasses of wine in between.

    Absolutely amazing wedding venue

    Shepherds Run is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue. When I begun my wedding venue search I had an idea of what I wanted but when I stumbled upon shepherds runs beautiful pictures it exceeded anything I had imagined and I knew it was the one. From my first walk through with Jackie to the actual wedding day and even after. I couldn’t be more happy and would highly recommend. Jackie was so helpful, she answered all the questions, took my stress away and delivered a perfect wedding. So many people told me at least one thing goes wrong at your wedding but I can honestly say the day was pure perfection and nothing went wrong. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting married at Shepherds Run. You won’t regret it. … Jackie is amazing!

    Our Perfect Happily Ever After!

    I am truly thankful my mom heard about Shepherd's Run through a friend - it was the perfect venue full of caring staff that are all on their A+ game. The facility was still being built when we had our first meeting so we had to use our imaginations to what it would look like and boy did they make a gorgeous venue. It was even more beautiful than I had imagined! A huge selling point for us was our wedding coordinator, Jackie Sahagian. Jackie is extremely organized, very friendly, and easily picks up on your wedding vision so she can help you plan it accordingly. I was pretty nervous planning the wedding and wanted to make sure I...

    The most beautiful venue

    We were SO grateful to find Shepherds Run for our wedding in October 2021. Shepherd’s Run really was the venue for our full wedding weekend, including Rehearsal Dinner, Wedding, Morning-after Brunch, and Lodging / Getting ready. It was perfect and our guests were just raving about every single thing. Particular things we loved:

    1) Jackie is an incredible above-and-beyond wedding coordinator, and her partnership with Karen (Owner of Blackstone), and Ryan (Owner of SR), and Susan (GM of SR), made us feel totally taken care of and supported every second of our wedding weekend. I have no doubt that our “perfect” day was made possible by a lot of invisible labor happening behind the scenes that their...

    The Most Perfect Day

    We can't say enough great things about Ryan, Susan, Jackie & the entire Shepherd's Run & Blackstone staff! We toured Shepherd's Run as a potential wedding venue while it was still heavily under renovation/ construction. Everything that they promised, they over-produced. We felt right at home here & had the most wonderful wedding at one of the most timeless spots in South County. As locals here, we were thrilled to see how this venue came to life & we are so excited to see all that it continues to become! We will most definitely be referring everyone we know to Shepherd's Run for weddings & events to come! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts; our day could not have been made more special thanks to Shepherd's Run.

    Fabulous venue

    Venue was beautiful and the whole day was perfect. Loved having the ceremony in the garden, cocktail hour in courtyard and reception in the tent. Cannot say enough about how wonderful Jackie was in handling every detail - she made sure the day was special in every way. The guest rooms were wonderful as well. Would highly recommend this venue for any event!

    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.

    A dream come true!

    We knew the moment we walked through Shepherd's Run, that we wanted to have our wedding there and everything exceeded our expectations. Rowan & Jackie were incredible planners and helped us put together our dream wedding. The entire staff was unbelievable and made our day even more special. We could not have asked for a more perfect February wedding at Shepherd's Run.

    Quintessential RI Wedding

    There aren’t too many places that feel completely magical even when they’re under construction. Shepherd’s Run felt like a historic European bed and breakfast, with the added charm of a New England beach town.

    We feel so lucky to have found this place. We wanted a venue that was beautiful and friendly, where we could gather our friends and family under a sailcloth tent on a summer night, and where at least some of our guests could make themselves at home for the entire weekend (there were ten incredible guest rooms available when we got married in July 2023, and more were about to open). Shepherd’s Run let us do all of that - and unlike other...

    Fairytale venue

    Shepherds Run was so fabulous to work with! We fell in love with the venue the second we came on site and the amount of work the team did the last year to continue to evolve was truly incredible. The team was amazing, Rowan, Jackie, Aaron, Kendall all so easy to communicate, so kind and thoughtful, and truly everything was executed perfectly. Our wedding weekend was seamless because of this venue and these people and we are forever appreciative of that. Our guests stayed on site, the rooms are stunning. Breakfast in the morning was amazing and we even had the opportunity to take a yoga class with Kendall in the wellness studio. It was a perfect weekend and we cannot wait to come back

    Exceptional!

    Cannot praise the location or staff enough about Shepherds Run. The venue was the perfect location to host my daughters wedding. We rented out the manor for both nights and it truly made the experience much more special. Jackie and Rowan ---amazing wedding coordinating team. From the initial booking, through the planning and into the day of their attention and dedication truly helped make the day as special and as beautiful as it was.

    Perfect wedding venue

    Cannot express enough how amazing our wedding was at Shepherd's Run. Jackie & Rowan were such a huge help from start to finish. We stayed at the suite for 2 nights at Shepherd's Run which made the experience that much better. We have received so many positive reviews from our guests and some have even said they are looking to stay a night in the future. If you are deciding on a venue in Rhode Island, do not miss out on Shepherd's Run!

    Incredible!

    We cannot say enough good things about the Shepherd's Run and Blackstone team - working with Jackie and Rowen was an absolute treat. Not only are they incredible at their jobs they truly want you to have the best day ever and do everything in their power to make that happen. Our family also stayed at Shepherd's Run for the our wedding weekend and the team - specifically Aaron were also incredible. Truly we cannot say enough good things or recommend this venue and team to enough people.

    10/10 Aesthetics and People

    We got married at Shepherd’s Run in September 2023 and can’t speak highly enough of the Venue. I first met with Jackie in January of 2021 and we booked our wedding Date. Throughout the process she checked and and made sure everything was on track and offered so much help and support. We met Rowan during our tasting at Blackstone Catering and things just got better! Between the two of them I had full confidence that our wedding day would be well taken care of and I can honestly say we didn’t have a single thing go wrong! They planned everything out down to the tiny details that ensured we had a beautiful, worry free day. I highly recommend...

    Beautiful idyllic venue, excellent communication throughout!

    Exceptional – that is how to describe both Shepherds Run and Blackstone Caterers. The venue is beautiful and Blackstone as a caterer is simply superb and the food was delicious.

    From the moment we toured the venue 18 months ago, we knew this setting was the one. Jackie from Blackstone, was our event coordinator and was on top of everything from day
    one, making suggestions and guiding the entire process. Her associate Rowan had control of every little detail.
    Everyone dreams and prays for a beautiful sunny warm day. That was not to be. It was 50 degrees, with 20 mph winds, and overcast and drizzly. Around noon Jackie approached us and suggested moving the reception inside the...

    Shepherds Run was so perfect!

    Shepherds Run is the only venue I looked at and I was so in love with it I knew we had to have our wedding there and it did not disappoint. Everything about it is so stunning from the grounds to the tent to the interior. Jackie, Rowan, and the whole staff were amazing. I didn’t have a planner and I knew I was in good hands with them. They were so kind and professional and made our wedding day run so smoothly. Everything was perfect. I can’t recommend this venue enough!

    Wedding - 5/14/23

    I had my wedding at shepherd’s run last weekend and I can’t wait to come back. The venue itself was incredible. The hotel portion is beautifully designed, the rooms are very comfortable and chic. I loved the breakfast that comes included with the room booking, it was fresh, homemade and a perfect start to your day. Special shout-out to Aaron and Kendall who made the process so smooth. Aaron was very responsive when we had a last minute request to change a room . Kendall and the rest of the team were so welcoming day of check in and throughout the entire stay. Moving on to the wedding entire process with Jackie and Rowan, they are incredible. I was...
