Weekend Stay on the BayTestimonials
“Everything about our wedding was a dream and it all came true due to Amber, Lexi, and the rest of the staff. Amber was incredible with helping plan our wedding. She was so easy to work with and accommodating. Lexi was our day of coordinator and I immediately felt at ease with her. She made the day the absolute best. The venue was incredible. All of the guests were commenting on the location and the opportunity to hang out in different areas (the tent, the patio, and the dock). The staff made the day so easy, we didn't have to lift a finger if we didn't want to. They were beyond accommodating. Our ceremony went so smooth due to the Herrington staff and all of our vendors. I cannot recommend this place enough. I would get married here over and over.”

“Herrington on the Bay itself is breathtaking. The grounds are stunning, with lush flower gardens buzzing with butterflies and bees, and the gentle sound of the ocean crashing nearby adds the perfect natural soundtrack to your day. Every corner feels like it was made for a wedding- so romantic, serene, and utterly magical. The staff at Herrington on the Bay were an absolute joy to be around- they made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. Every detail was handled with care, and you could truly feel how much they genuinely care about the couple, the guests, and the day. And the food… WOW. It was absolutely outrageous- hands down the best food you’ll ever have at a wedding. Every bite was incredible, and it added so much to the celebration."
