Herrington on the Bay

Dinah Young

I recently was at Herrington Bay for a wedding. The outside venue was beautiful. Then we came in for hor d'oeuvres and drinks. Dinner was upstairs. Food was well prepared and delicious. Mine was not really warm enough, but that happens when preparing for a large group. After dinner we went back downstairs for dancing. I had a great time. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout. Every thing was set up well. It was one of the best orchestrated wedding I have been to.

Where do I start and where could I end??!!! The staff were so patient courteous and helpful! From the bartender to the servers they all did a GREAT job! The views and the overall experience weren't just due to the bridal party but the staff as well!! You guys deserve the 5* rating!!!

The venue is unbelievable and staff are just so courteous. Teresa has taken care of everything for us. If you're getting married in the DMV area, there's no better venue.

Herrington on the Bay is the most incredible venue with the most helpful, supportive, and responsive team. We got married June 25, 2022 in the Herring Bay Garden and had the reception in the Yacht Club. We had a 10 month time frame from booking to our wedding, so we had to move quickly to get everything planned. Marcie and Brittany are an absolute dream to work with - from planning meetings, communication, answering ALL of our questions and inquiries. We had a plan for a tropical glam vibe; we wanted everyone to feel like they were on vacation. Marcie and Brittany worked with the event staff, chefs, bar tenders, and everyone else to help our dream come to life. Most of all, they were genuinely happy for us throughout the process. They made us feel celebrated, loved, and supported in every interaction, meeting, and on the big day. I truly cannot recommend them enough. Our garden attendant, Charlie, was incredible. Charlie was calm, cool, collected, and above and beyond helpful. Charlie fulfilled every request quickly and cheerfully. The venue itself is *almost* as incredible as the team. Everyone kept asking “how did you find this place?? This is the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever seen!” The garden is truly picturesque and the Yacht Club is gorgeous. The split level works great to separate areas of the reception. The patio and balcony are beautiful outdoor escapes for guests to enjoy the sunset. When we went to take our sunset pictures, we noticed many of our guests were taking advantage of golden hour overlooking the harbor. There is ample parking across the street from the venue. It was important to us to find a venue that had catering onsite because we wanted the food to be fresh, hot, and delicious. Herrington went above and beyond to help us get incredible food. For weeks after the wedding, guests remarked to us “I’ve been to a lot of weddings, and this food was beyond the best.” For cocktail hour, we served passed crab dip bites, chicken and waffles (BIG hit!), a dip station, and an arepa bar. We also had a craft beer tasting and pretzel bite station, which our guests loved. For dinner, we served a summery salad followed by chicken and salmon, mushroom risotto, and seasonal vegetables. During dancing, we served passed mini pina coladas, which of course was so much fun! We cannot recommend Herrington on the Bay enough. They truly take care of everything throughout the planning process and the day of your event. After we booked and told other vendors and folks in the wedding world where we were getting married, they all expressed that Herrington is the best of the best and will ensure the most magical wedding day. They were right.
