  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.

  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.

  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.

  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

  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!

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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 Newport-area venues, it didn’t cost the equivalent of a house.
  
  For our wedding, we worked with Jackie and Rowan from Blackstone for the planning process and day-of logistics, and Aaron helped with our room block and kept our guests happy with wine tastings around the wedding weekend. They were all wonderfully helpful and friendly, even as their venue seems to become bigger and busier every day. And that’s for good reason. Each part of the wedding day felt special and distinct, and they all flowed together perfectly. We used Beatrix Garden for the ceremony, the back patio for our cocktail hour, and the tent for our reception. We took photos in the vineyard and popped champagne on the balcony of our suite. My husband also spent the night before the wedding on the property, and absolutely loved waking up on our wedding day and eating breakfast with his friends in the gorgeous dining area.
  
  Some of our guests also scheduled wine tastings before the wedding, and It was so fun having Shepherd’s Run’s wines passed during cocktail hour to give our guests the full experience of the property. We are already plotting our anniversary trips to relive our special day!

  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 event hall rather than in the tent and moving the cocktail hour from the beautiful Beatrice Garden to inside the historic inn, with its remarkably beautiful Wine Hall and Rush Sturgis Study.
  
  Without skipping a beat, the teams from the Run and Blackstone moved our 10-foot wedding arch to the other side of the curtain so they could set-up , then moved the arch back to the chapel for photos at the our request, and then moved it back to the other side again. After the beautiful ceremony the guests went into the Run for wine, cocktails, and appetizers. Meanwhile the team set up the rest of the tables in the Event Hall and moved the arch once again in front of the floor-length windows. It was a work of art to behold the coordination! And best of all, the guests were warm and toasty!
  
  We opted to buyout the beautiful historic inn. It was so convenient for the wedding party. We all enjoyed a glass of wine and then coffee and delicious pastry in the morning.
  
  You can not go wrong with Shepherd’s Run and Blackstone. We suggest you make this setting your dream come true, as we did.

  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 able to enjoy the wedding day and the months leading up to the event because of these two. They coordinated everything for day off and guided me through the flow of the day. They reached out to outside vendors to make sure deliveries were made on time. I can’t thank them enough!!! Not only are they pros but they are so kind and make the process such a treat. I can say without a doubt that I made the right choice in choosing shepherds run and blackstone caterers for my wedding.

  Shepherd's Run is 100/10

  We toured this venue before construction was even finished and as soon as we walked through, I knew we needed to have our wedding there. Every piece of the property is filled with so much unique and classical detail that you just walk around saying "wow" to everything you see.. even the 10th time you go. The venue itself is beyond gorgeous with multiple options for ceremony and reception areas that are equally as beautiful rain or shine. I stayed there the night before and the night of the wedding and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the hotel staff, service and food. The wine truly is some of the best I have had & many of my guests ordered bottles/cases to take home.
  The wedding itself was beyond beautiful and there really are SO many different ways to decorate and celebrate. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors and our main points of contact, Jackie Sahagian & Rowan Sanko, were so beyond easy to talk to and bounce ideas off of. I was nervous not having a wedding planner but they made it so easy for me! The girls & the venue truly want nothing more than for your day to be absolutely perfect. I would (and do, to everyone and anyone that will listen) 10000% recommend Shepherd's Run for your wedding venue!

  Amazing Wedding Venue

  As Mother of the Bride, I was extremely proud to host my daughter's wedding at Shepherd's Run. It is stunning and absolutely beautiful. It is breathtaking when you arrive and enter the main foyer with many colorful rooms, spiral staircase and decor. The Venue Hall for the reception is wonderful with many glass windows and doors where you look out to lovely patios and grounds. The presentation and perfectly cooked meals were absolutely delicious. The staff was very professional, kind. pleasant and helpful. We received many compliments from our guests. The Hotel rooms are special and the complimentary breakfast the next morning had quite the variety of fresh baked items. We are so happy that our daughter had her dream wedding at Shepherds' Run.

  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 Shepherds Run for its beautiful Venue (your photographer will have unlimited places to take beautiful photos) and for the people that care as much about your day as you do!

  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!

  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!

  Picture Perfect Day

  Our wedding day was truly spectacular thanks to the hard work and dedication from the Shepherd’s Run Team! When we booked in 2021, the grounds/renovations were in progress so we put our trust fully in their vision and it did not disappoint. Beautiful, beautiful beautiful! Jackie was a delight to work with throughout our planning process. She was so positive, helpful, and brought a calm grounding presence to the chaos of wedding planning. We truly recommend!

  A fairytale venue & experience to match!

  Jackie and her team are outstanding and truly run events like a well-oiled machine! They are super organized and helped the day run so smoothly. Shepherd's Run is obviously stunning and looks like something from a fairytale that has come to life, which was perfect for us operating on a budget and we didn't feel the need to go over the top on decor. Jackie and her team made us feel not only like our wedding day was so special, but also like we were the only wedding they had to work on - not an easy thing to do as I know they had back to back weddings and a fully packed wedding season! The service combined with New England charm is unmatched. Special shout out for Jackie and her girls - my dress never could have been bustled without their expertise :)

  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.

  Wedding Dreams Come True

  SR is pure magic! From the moment you walk through the doors you feel transported to an English or Italian countryside. My husband and I just recently had our wedding at Shepherd's Run and had our immediate family all stay on property. It was more then we could have ever dreamed of. The service the SR team provided was top notch. They made us feel like family from the start and we're there to help with our every need. I cannot say enough great things about the stay as well as the dream of a wedding we were able to pull off with the help of the SR and Blackstone team! We look forward to coming back as much as possible every year to celebrate our anniversary and see what is new at SR. I highly recommend considering a nice weekend getaway here or at least a nice day Theo to the property to enjoy the wine and experience. And if you are considering getting married here - book it! You will most certainly not regret it and your guests will be in awe! We already want to go back!

  Wonderful!!!

  Shepherd’s Run:
  We got married at Shepherd’s Run in May of 2022. After looking at several venues from Newport to Lincoln, we found Shepherd’s Run and absolutely fell in love with it. After touring the venue and meeting with their amazing coordinator Jackie one time, we knew we found the right place and people. Every single aspect of our wedding exceeded our expectations. The venue is gorgeous and has a really unique style that we couldn’t really seem to find anywhere else. We had an Indian ceremony in the garden, followed by an American style reception and couldn’t have been happier with the way things turned out.
  We really can’t say enough about their staff. Everyone that we worked with was amazing at their role and helped us in any way they could. Even a week after the wedding was over, we really wanted to stock up on the wine that we served at the wedding and Aaron went above and beyond to track down a case of the exact wine we had at our reception. The gentleman serving breakfast the morning after the wedding made the whole group feel at home.
  Our coordinator Jackie deserves her own review! She made us feel like we were the only couple she was working with. Our wedding was a bit different in that we did an Indian ceremony and an American reception. This added a few unique challenges to the planning and Jackie absolutely nailed it! She knew exactly what questions to ask and helped us plan every aspect of the wedding within our budget. You will not find a better person to work with.
  
  Blackstone Caterers:
  Blackstone Caterers catered our wedding in May of 2022. Everything from the food to the staff was absolutely exceptional. We worked with Jackie, who was able to provide so much guidance and was always able to exceed our expectations while working within our budget. Blackstone offers so many options for food and they were always able to find options for us, which we thought would be challenging because we did a half Indian, half American style wedding, but they really did it with ease. We haven’t heard a single criticism about the food or the service and several of our guests have even made remarks about how awesome the food was. If you have the chance to work with Blackstone you’ll be in good hands.

  Shepherd's Run is IT!

  Shepherd’s Run is absolutely everything we wished for! When we first visited Shepherd’s Run we felt the instant connection to the venue itself and their team. The Shepherd’s Run team is absolutely amazing and we cannot say enough outstanding things about Jackie, Susan, Karen and supporting Shepherd's Run team. You are in great hands as they will take care of your from start to finish and they simply just get it. They will always keep in touch, develop a wedding timeline, provide multiple check ins and provide the most excellent day of wedding attention and service. We loved the variety of unique spaces. We held our ceremony in Beatrix’s garden, cocktail hour outside in the manor terrace and our reception in the beautiful event hall. The rooms onsite were a huge bonus and are stunning. The bridal suite was truly every bride’s dream. On our wedding weekend the Shepherd’s Run team went above and beyond to make us feel like rockstars. We cannot wait to make more memories here at Shepherd’s Run with our family and friends at the winery, restaurant, hotel and spa! It will always have our hearts!
