From the reviews
We were beyond thrilled with our experience at Herrington on the Bay - it was truly the perfect place to celebrate our wedding! From the moment we toured the Chesapeake Ballroom and surrounding area along the water, we were captivated by the breathtaking views.
Literally from start to finish this venue and staff were a dream to work with! We had visited other venues and they had completely written us off due to our budget.
We got married at Herrington on the Bay (Chesapeake Ballroom side) in April 2026 and could not recommend it more highly. From the moment we first visited, we completely fell in love with the venue.
We could not have been happier with our experience at Herrington on the Bay. From the moment we booked, we knew we were in great hands. One of the things that stood out most was the level of support and attention to detail.
Getting married at Herrington on the Bay
Herrington on the Bay comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Herrington on the Bay
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Herrington on the Bay — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
