"Just a SPECTACULAR venue and staff!!! I just don’t know where to start. If I could give 100 stars I would... from the very first “let’s check this out” appointment all the way until the day of the wedding we have been amazed by the client service, commitment, and attention to EVERY detail. HOB was nothing short of perfection. The staff went above and beyond every step of the way—no detail was too small, no request too big...
My daughter, and son-in-law enjoyed their wedding because everything was taken care of. And I actually enjoyed their wedding because I had the trust of the wonderful staff from HOB."

"The food and bar service were outstanding. Our guests were consistently commenting on how delicious everything was... Everyone was well-fed and taken care of throughout the entire event. We had a fusion Indian-American wedding, including a baraat, and the venue accommodated everything beautifully. They worked with us to create a customized fusion menu that was both authentic and absolutely delicious."

“We could not have asked for a more magical setting for our wedding. From the moment we began planning, the team at Herrington on the Bay made us feel completely supported, helping us navigate the logistics of a celebration with ease. The view is stunning and our guests are still talking about the delicious food and nitro ice cream bar. We can’t wait to come back in the future!
