Perona Farms is a picturesque country estate venue located in Andover, NJ. The venue features a rustic barn and separate hall, both with their own flair. A family-run business for five generations, the Farms has been hosting personalized weddings for over a century.
Emil Perona had a diverse resume, having been employed in areas from hospitality to vaudeville performance. After traveling around the globe, he settled in the northern New Jersey countryside, where he decided to become a dairy farmer. When his finances began to suffer, Emil’s solution was to take in boarders. Those who visited the farm enjoyed the peace of the country, and its popularity soon grew. Emil expanded the facilities, adding more sleeping quarters and a restaurant. World-renowned boxers appreciated Emil’s gymnasium, with the famous Joe DiMaggio even paying a visit. Perona Farms established its reputation as the premier New Jersey country estate, and each new generation of the family has taken over the farm to continue the legacy. Today, it is run by fourth- and fifth-generation family members.
The sprawling estate features many attractive outdoor spaces, including gardens, lawns, patios, and even an orchard. Ceremonies and cocktail hours are often held in the pristine outdoor areas, where couples and their guests can savor the crisp country air. Firework displays on the property can be arranged for an extra touch of magic. You may choose to hold your wedding in the rustic-chic barn, built in the 1930s and now equipped with modern amenities. Barn receptions take place on the second floor, which has an open floor plan and high, arched ceilings. The estate’s second venue, the Reserve, resembles a Spanish-inspired hacienda. It boasts patios for outdoor events and a large reception hall complete with lighting features to personalize the ambiance. Several private suites dot the estate for use by the wedding party and the engaged couple’s nearest and dearest.
Perona Farms’ venues can accommodate weddings with anywhere from 30 to 300 guests. With a century of experience in catering to a wide spectrum of weddings, they are happy to work with couples to find the right venue. Their family actively participates in the wedding planning process to ensure couples’ matrimonial dreams come true. The venue also has a catering service with a history nearly as long as the farm’s. There is an on-site greenhouse that gives its chefs access to the freshest ingredients, which are then transformed into dynamic seasonal menus.

We got married at The Refinery on 2/16/25, and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect experience! From start to finish, the service was absolutely excellent—every single staff member was incredibly attentive, ensuring that no detail was overlooked. What impressed us the most was how the entire team went above and beyond to make sure our guests were comfortable and well taken care of.
The professionalism, warmth, and dedication of the staff truly made our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. We are so happy we chose The Refinery for our special day—10/10 would recommend to any couple looking for the perfect venue! ❤️✨

Perona Farms was everything we could dream of and more.
They really know how to take care of you . We didn't have to worry about a thing setting up the venue with decor because they knew exactly what we wanted.
We worked with Megan and ailish- they were a pleasure to work with and always super patient with us.
Our maitre d that night was Reece who was amazing as well.
That entire staff that night was amazing even my vendors said that they were incredible.
We booked a stay at the DeBergh house and Wendy was amazing as well.
The only thing- literally the only thing out of a billion amazing things- that I wish I could change was the construction going on that made the outside look a little less nice, but it didn't take away the fact that some said it was the greatest wedding they ever went to. Just wish we could have known this prior to booking since we booked before they decided this was going to happen but life happens and it didn't take away from the big day!
seriously, thank you Perona for making our day less stressful, and everything we've ever dreamed of.

My wedding day at Perona Farms was the best day of my life! I always wondered what it would be like to be the bride for a change. I've worked at Perona Farms going on 6 years but I didn't want to get married without getting the full experience, so I did my share of searching wedding venues. I can now honestly say with certainty that Perona Farms does it differently. It is such a special experience, I'm tearing up just writing this. When touring other venues I found that Perona provided by far the best package from the service to the food to the all inclusiveness and the personal attention. I did my due diligence, but nothing else compared.
When I came for my tour with Kenny and my Mom, Marley toured us around. She was so excited for me, and walking through the door, you are immediately greeted by a family member most of the time and given a drink and a snack. My mom was blown away with the cheese board we were given, and I told her "Mom, that's just how we do it!" I will be honest, I did not feel that warmth anywhere else that I had toured. I had the opportunity of working with Marley during the planning process and you can easily see she has probably planned over 1000 weddings. No question was a stupid question and bride brain is a real thing you guys so thank god I had her to help with all the details!
From the moment I stepped on the property, I felt a sense of excitement while feeling calm surprisingly because I knew I was in the best hands. I rented the suites on the property and I was able to enjoy the day with my family and friends. This was probably one of my favorite moments from my wedding day. Cathy was my suite attendant and she made sure I was drinking a mimosa and not stressing about a thing. Cathy has a calming aura about her and my entire bridal party felt that. My coordinators were Ana and Maya. They took care of all the details regarding my decor, first look, ceremony etc. They could not have done a better job in easing my mind that everything was being taken care of. I really was assured they've got it all under control, and they certainly did!
Arriving at the venue after pictures and before the ceremony I saw the space decorated with my decor for the first time and I was in awe of how beautiful everything looked even having to retouch my makeup because I cried. The nerves set in right before walking down the aisle and Rob, Perona's marketing manager, calmed me down. I don't know if I would have made it down the aisle without his words of encouragement and the glass of water he gave me since I was moments away from passing out!
Brendan was my maitre-d' and he was great! He and his team made sure the evening went smoothly. He made sure the timing was perfect and that Kenny and I were always smiling and having a blast while simultaneously doing a phenomenal job taking care of all my family and friends!
This review would not be complete without mentioning THE DELICIOUS FOOD!!! My family had never been to an event at Perona Farms and they were just blown away by the abundance of food at cocktail hour, the lobster tail first course, the fresh scallops and everything else that I have been coming home raving about for years. I could go on and on...Did I mention we are Italian!! I am so happy my family had the opportunity to experience first hand what I get to see everyday.
I just wish I could relive this day over and over, it really flies by. I want to thank the entire staff and Family of Perona Farms. It is no wonder you have upheld your reputation for 107 years as a family owned and operated business. They don't let one minor detail fall through the cracks. It is an honor to be a part of the team and family. Being on the other side as an event coordinator has even more of a special meaning to me now!

We had an incredible time at our wedding in The Refinery on 11/17/24. Everything was stunning and seamless, and we really appreciated the attention to detail. We loved all that The Refinery has to offer—the Archive suites, Atrium, cocktail space, stunning backdrops for photos, and industrial chic ballroom—which is why we chose that venue in the first place. But to see it on the day of the wedding was truly magical.
Marley was our coordinator up until our wedding day, and she was such a great help. She answered all of our questions and made sure the planning process went smoothly.
Day-of, our coordinator, Maya, was just as helpful, keeping everyone on schedule and keeping me (the bride!) calm. Heather, our Maitre D, took over after the ceremony and made us feel so relaxed and special. She kept our drinks coming and even reminded us to eat after we made our rounds with guests. Heather was so caring and on top of making sure the reception ran nicely.
Rewinding a bit, one of my favorite moments was when, mid bridal prep, I randomly said to the room that I wasn't really hungry for lunch but could go for some mozzarella and strawberries—and Fern, our suite attendant, proceeded to show up with (you guessed it!) slices of mozzarella and strawberries! It was a small gesture but spoke to how attentive the staff was. (I didn’t even know Fern was listening!)
I also want to note how amazing it felt to leave Perona Farms that night knowing all we had to do was show up the next day for our bins of decor. We didn’t have to worry at all about cleanup!
This venue is a beautiful and structured—well-oiled-machine type of structured—place to have a wedding…and the food!!! The food was incredible. People are still raving about cocktail hour—and the reception meals were delicious.
We truly can’t thank the staff enough, and we’ll remember this day (and venue) forever!

Our wedding at the Refinery was above and beyond what we could’ve hope for our special day! We truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. The Refinery is such a gorgeous space, the staff is warm, flexible, and so accommodating. We loved not only the look of the space but how they are so prepared for any situation, from the indoor/outdoor joint spaces to the ceremony space to the many photo opps at the venue. From the moment we toured, Marley answered our many questions in a timely and efficient manner and was so willing to work with us to ensure we were happy with the day. Tammi was our day of coordinator — she was so energetic and had such a positive attitude that everyone vibed with. She came around with us for photos (which we got at every spot we wanted), made sure everything ran smoothly the morning of, and had all of our decor set up. Kristin was our suite attendant and she was also amazing. Food was provided for us the minute we walked in, she immediately asked anyone with dietary restrictions what food they would prefer, and was always asking us what we needed. Brendan was our Maitre'D and he was constantly asking if we needed a drink or anything at all and the evening ran so smoothly. Our bartenders were great too, they poured excellent drinks and we never saw a line at the bars. Pick up the next day was smooth, all our items were packed neatly. Our guests are still raving about the food, the venue, and the staff. We loved Perona (the 19th and last venue we visited...) from the second we stepped in and they exceeded our expectations in every way.

Perfect Wedding at Perona Farms - The Reserve
On November 6, 2024, Perona Farms helped make our wedding dreams come true! From the moment we toured the venue, owner Bryant went above and beyond to ensure we understood all the services and amenities. His professionalism and kindness set the tone for an unforgettable experience.
The staff—Brie, Kathy, and Brenden—were absolutely amazing. Their attention to detail and impeccable customer service made us feel truly cared for every step of the way. And the food and drinks? Delicious! The seasonal menu was a hit, with every dish perfectly prepared.
If you're a bride and groom looking for a magical, stress-free celebration, I highly recommend Perona Farms. It will exceed every expectation!
Wishing all couples a blissful wedding day,
The Washington's

One of the main reasons we chose to get married at Perona Farms was how prepared they are for every and any situation. We loved that the Refinery had the atrium, so we were able to keep it open as it was a nice day. However, if it had rained the ceremony would still be in the atrium but it would be closed. Perona took the stress of moving the ceremony away.
The cocktail hour had everything we could have possibly imagined, highlighted by their brick oven pizza station. Everything tasted AMAZING and all of our guests were coming up to us saying how good the food is.
The Perona team was incredibly helpful, sticking with us the whole night for whatever we needed and helped make sure this was the greatest day of our lives.
Ivette helped make the process seamless and easy from start to finish. We could not recommend Perona highly enough. We are so grateful for the Perona team and being able to have our wedding in the Refinery!

We were truly amazed by the beautiful venue and incredible team at Perona Farms. When I arrived for our venue tour and was welcomed with specially made snacks, I knew we had found something special. From every phone call and email to our in-person interactions, we always felt positively supported. Although I initially regretted not choosing venues closer to NYC, all those worries vanished once we experienced the hospitality at Perona Farms.
On our wedding day, we were pleasantly surprised when the owner, Bryant Avondoglio, personally came up to congratulate us! This venue was absolutely perfect for us. After both of us swore off ever hosting a party again, my husband suggested hosting a baby shower or birthday party at Perona Farms!

Perona Farms will give you the wedding of your dreams, and more. The team worked tirelessly to ensure that our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. Megan was our designated Perona Farms coordinator. She was extremely responsive, and so incredibly personable as she walked us through the venue-specific planning. The grounds are stunning, and even though we had a rainy day, our small guest count allowed our Barn ceremony to take place on the back covered porch – this was a gamechanger, and we are so grateful to have been provided this option. Our day-of coordinators and suite attendant were spectacular – there was no reason to think of anything on the wedding day, and their #1 priority was to keep the day running smoothly while you and your spouse have the most amazing day. The food is delicious, and there is no shortage of included food options. The drinks were delicious (and I highly recommend their mocktails!). I wish I could continue to relive this day, and thank Perona for making this the best day ever.

Amazing food, beautiful all around! I’m so so lucky that I got to get married here. I highly recommend

September 2024 at the Reserve - Everything was perfect! Desirre (event coordinator) and Maya (day of coordinator) were so kind, enthusiastic, and helpful. We had a vision and they made it happen!
We got ready in the privates suites - super helpful if you want to be on the property and have earlier access for photos. All the first look spots are gorgeous. We had our ceremony in their outdoor garden area, then cocktail hour on the outdoor patio, and reception inside. All our guests keep talking about how amazing everything was - the venue, indoor-outdoor space, food, drinks, service...our Perona Farms wedding was a magical day and we highly recommend!

We got married Aug. of 2024 and the day was truly incredible. Our team at Perona was day of coordinator Tammi, suite attendant Cathie, Maitre D Reece, and we worked closely with Megan. The whole team was amazing. So easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. They took care of all the details and that allowed us to enjoy our day!!

I cannot say enough great things about the Perona Team. We worked with Ivette leading up and she was EXTREMELY HELPFUL! She was on top of everything. She made the whole planning process enjoyable and not stressful at all. Our coordinator was Brie and our Maitre D was Heather. I could never put into words how amazing these two are. They were on top of EVERYTHING!!! It stormed the day of our wedding and Brie was constantly watching the radar for us and making sure we got our first look outside and made it back in before the rain. She also was throwing out other ideas of pictures we could take because of the rain. She perfected my entire vision as well. She even captured some photos and videos on her phone during it all. Heather was also AMAZING!!!! The spread of food she gave us before entering the cocktail hour was unbelievable. She asked us what our favorites were before to make sure we got extra of that and even packaged our favorites to go the next day. She always made sure we had a drink and anything we needed. We were told after she actually went around to every table to to ask everyone if she can get them anything. There was also a rainbow during our cocktail hour. We were eating in the bridal suite area so she ran in with our photographer to make sure we got the photo. Since we didn’t want to walk through all the guests she actually brought us through the kitchen so we could take a picture in the back hidden. I seriously could never thank these two enough for everything that day!
Seriously the Perona team is unmatched. Booking with them was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. They are unbelievable. Every single one of them!!! Our guests were raving all night and have been calling and texting us non stop since to tell us how unbelievable the food, venue, service and entire night was!!

My husband and I got married this past August at the Barn. Perona Farms did a fantastic job at everything! We’re so pleased we picked this venue. The staff, the food, everything was so well done. My coordinator, Megan, helped make planning go smoothly and was super responsive and such a pleasure to work with. We had Ailish as our day of coordinator and Reece as our Maitre D. Both were incredible and checking in throughout the night on both my husband and I. All the guests loved the food and atmosphere of the barn. Would highly recommend!

There are no words to describe how amazing Perona Farms was to my husband and I. For someone with really high expectations, Perona, especially our event coordinator Megan, made sure to write down all of my requests big or small in our contract. I had over 100 emails with her, but it didn't matter, she was there for me every step of the way. Bryant and her heard some of our concerns, really took them seriously, and excueted the most amazing day of our lives. The food is insanely good, the Reserve is a gorgeous room, and the outdoor courtyard area that feels like your in Italy is just amazing as well. Our day of coordinator, Brie will forever hold a special place in my heart for everything she did for me that day. Brendan, our Matrie D, was absolutely awesome as well, consistently coming up to the both of us. We highly recommend having your wedding at Perona Farms. You will not regret it!

veryone at Perona Farms is incredibly organized!!! and friendly!
The whole experience felt magical - from planning, to getting ready in the suites, to ceremony, to the reception! They were hands-on throughout the whole process in the most encouraging and supportive way.
When we were planning, we did not work with an external wedding planner. There was no need for this, especially seeing how amazing the day of coordinator was who works at Perona Farms. She is awesome!!
I'm very grateful for everyone at Perona Farms. A big thank you to Marley as well for all her guidance - a true expert!! I felt supported the whole day! Fern was so welcoming when we entered the suite and had the best yummy treats ready for our arrival! Perona Farms even let us open the suites earlier for hair/makeup.
I would recommend Perona Farms to everyone! <3

I had the best wedding at Perona Farms! It was everything I dreamed of and more!
All three venue options are stunning. I had my ceremony and reception in the Barn and it was beautiful.
Perona was so organized and executed everything to perfection. They made sure we were happy and had the best day. Shout out to my coordinator Megan, day of coordinator Ana, and bridal attendant! The service was also great, especially the bartenders Don and John.
All of my friends said the cocktail hour food was amazing and that there were a lot of tables available to sit and eat at. There was plenty of room and I love how the dance floor was large enough to fit all my guests. Perona creates a fun atmosphere and guests were partying it up all night. We loved ending the night with some homemade donuts.
If you are looking for a place with great food, great service, a fun atmosphere, and a picturesque setting, Perona Farms is for you!

After attending a wedding at Perona Farms in 2021, my husband and I knew that we wanted to look there to host our wedding when we got engaged. We originally went to tour Perona with the intent of booking our wedding at the Refinery, but ended up falling in love with the look and feel of the Reserve. Leading up to the wedding we were matched up with an event coordinator who we didn’t have the best experience with. She was slow to respond to emails and questions, often not answering some of our questions if there were multiple questions asked, and sometimes provided incorrect or unclear information to us that we had to clarify multiple times. Besides that, our experience with Perona was completely seamless and we loved everyone that we worked with. Our ceremony coordinator (Anastasia) and maitre’d (Tommy) were absolutely amazing on the day of the wedding. Ana was literally picking pine needles out of my dress after we took pictures in the pines and was so kind, warm, and seemed truly excited to be part of our day. Tommy waited on us hand and foot during the reception and was always there if we needed a drink refill or had any requests. He waited until we sat down to serve us our dinners so that our plates weren’t sitting at the table and the food was served hot. He was attentive to the needs of our parents, as well. The morning of the wedding we used the Carriage House and Workshop for the bridal party to get ready. It’s a great space to utilize so that everyone in the bridal party can hang out and spend time together while getting ready with hair and makeup for the girls and pool/ping pong/darts/etc. for the guys. The girls were served breakfast and lunch as well as any drinks we wanted, and the guys were served lunch and drinks as well. The food at Perona Farms is unmatched as most of it is farm to table, with vegetables grown on the property and cheese and dairy sourced from a local dairy farm.

Perona Farms is a one-of-a-kind venue. Our wedding day was a dream and it would not have been possible without the team of amazing individuals at who went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of from start to finish. We cannot give their staff enough praise, including Ivette our event coordinator, Tammy our ceremony coordinator, Brenden our Maitre D, and of course Fern, our private suite attendant!! The food is excellent, the atmosphere in The Refinery is nothing short of beautiful, and they make you feel so special from the second you walk on the grounds for a tour. We are so happy we chose to book with Perona Farms for our wedding day.

We had our wedding at the Barn at Perona Farms. All I can say is wow. From the amazing staff to the venue to the food, Perona is the best place to have your wedding. All though it was a cloudy rainy day, Perona just knew what to do. They made my wedding day amazing. We had Auggie as our event coordinator and from start to finish he was amazing. He even checked in on us on our wedding day. We had Brie and Brenden helping us out all day long and they were absolutely amazing and so helpful. Brie killed it by setting up our decor and making our dream wedding come true. Brie also kept me calm and even gave me her jacket in between pictures outside. Brenden always made sure we were doing well and got us anything we needed. We also had Tammy checking in on us from the start of the day in our suites. Tammy also kept me calm getting me anything I needed and bringing the energy. Let me just talk about the food. The best food hands down. Everyone was raving over it and that sushi tower was amazing. The amount of food you get is incredible and it’s even more delicious. I am truly happy with this venue and all I can say is I was able to have such an amazing time and I can truly say I had my dream wedding thanks to Perona Farms. Please check this venue out. You will not be disappointed.

From the moment we arrived at Perona Farms, we knew it was the right place for us. My wife and I were looking for a classic, high quality, well run venue where we could host our black-tie-esque wedding in January of 2024. We found Perona on The Knot, visited a handful of other locations nearby, and were able to sneak in a quick tour of Perona. We fell in love immediately with the Reserve, with its Italian inspired architecture and decor, its grand entrance, and a feeling of intimacy combined with plenty of space for our guests. In addition to being a space that was perfect for our vision, the staff and the quality of the food and events were all top notch. We felt like family by the time we hosted our wedding, with Desirre being an incredible coordinator to bring our dreams to life. She was the best partner we could ask for, saving the day in many ways leading up to and on the day of our wedding! Franklin, our ceremony coordinator, and Kelly, our maître d, were also excellent, making us feel like we had nothing to worry about except ourselves for the whole wedding. Looking back, there is nothing more we could have asked for from Perona and we are so happy we decided to have our wedding there. Our guests had an amazing time, they loved the food, the space, and the smoothness of it all. Highly recommended!

This venue was absolutely amazing, everyone was super helpful from the day we booked to the day of our wedding. The food was amazing and our guests could not stop talking about it. Tammi our coordinator deserves another 5 stars on her own! She was AMAZING and really made our experience that much better on the day of our wedding. I would honestly just love to attend another wedding at this venue and be a guest! The venue is also beautiful and we were lucky to be the only wedding on that day, so we had the whole place to ourselves.

We cannot say enough good things about Perona!!! There is not a single thing we would change. Every single detail was executed perfectly and we could not be happier. Our guests raved about the service, food, and beauty of the reserve. Marley was our coordinator and was wonderful to work with! We also had Kathy in the carriage house and would absolutely recommend getting ready in the suites. We hired many of the Perona preferred vendors which made the process so smooth and easy. All of their recommended vendors were also amazing. We had Tammi and Kelsey as our day of coordinator and maitre’d. Both of these ladies were exceptional. They were so kind, patient, and hard working. We also had two incredible bartenders and had a positive experience with all staff at the wedding.

Perona Farms is an incredible wedding venue. After we toured the venue, we knew immediately it was going to be our top choice, and we ended up going with The Barn for our fall wedding. The planning process with Perona was seamless and the online portal is very convenient and useful. We worked with Marley during our planning and she was professional and responsive throughout and was able to guide us to make the best decisions for the day of. We also attended the Perona Experience for our food tasting and were blown away by the quality of the food and drinks and the level of service.
For the actual wedding, we knew it would be wonderful but it still managed to surpass all of our expectations! The food and decor were amazing, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the cocktail hour. However, the service and the interactions we had with every single staff member is what really blew us away. Kelly was our maitre d and was so sweet and helpful for everything during our cocktail hour and reception! She ensured we had a full spread of food in a private room for cocktail hour, and was on top of everything during the reception, always making sure we had something to eat and drink. We also were lucky enough to have Franklin as our ceremony coordinator. He was so friendly and hilarious, and guided us during the rehearsal process the day before. He was also with us during the morning while getting ready in the suites at Perona and he helped transport us around the grounds for photos before the ceremony. We had such a great time with him and he made us feel so much more excited and at ease when we were nervous. Our entire bridal party loved him too!
Everything turned out perfectly and everyone made us feel so special throughout the entire process. Perona Farms is a beautiful venue and their food is amazing, but the level of service is something you will not get anywhere else! A big thank you to the whole Perona team and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

We chose the barn for our wedding. The most beautiful venue we’ve ever seen. From the moment we booked in January of 2022 our coordinator Megan has been nothing short of helpful! Quick responses to emails and willing to help with anything. We fell in love with the barn from the moment we saw it and booked within 24 hours. It is beautiful and unique. Our day of coordinator Jenny, did an amazing job getting everything all set up for us and running around finalizing details. Our maitre’d was Brandon and he was amazing! He was attentive to not only my husband and I but to all our guests. Running around through the night giving us timeline updates as we went. At the end of the night our shuttle accidentally left my husband and I 😅 so Brandon went and got the perona shuttle and drove us back to our hotel. I can’t recommend perona enough!!!
We also used the carriage house for getting ready. We originally booked the Angelina suite to get ready and once I saw it in person I knew we needed a bigger space. We had 10 ladies total getting ready and boy am I glad we upgraded! It was so spacious and with the multiple rooms we had plenty of space so we weren’t all on top of each other. Kathy was our suite attendant and she was wonderful! She had breakfast waiting when we arrived and was so helpful all day! My one friend had her baby with us in the suite and Kathy went above and beyond and was playing with her and helping take care of her while we got ready.

If you are looking for a wedding venue - look no further. This was my and my husband's FIRST wedding venue visit, and we booked the SAME DAY. From the respectful, elegant staff, to the speechless views of the venue - Perona Farms spoke for itself. We had 14 months of seamless planning with Perona Farms, and they made every ounce of it so fun and so memorable. Megan, our wedding coordinator, from day 1 booking the venue to the night of our wedding, literally stood by our sides without hesitation (and answered every email we sent!) We owe her everything. Every staff member - Bri, Tammi, Linda, Brendan, the wonderful people who greet you - and everyone else I am probably forgetting! - are amazing inside and out. Perona Farms is that fairytale wedding that every girl dreams about, but in real life. I wish I could relive this day over and over again forever. The memory will always be with me and I am forever grateful for the beauty and magic that place provided me, my husband and our family and friends that lovely night.

We got married in Aug 2023 in the Barn and could not have asked for a more incredible experience. From the first tour to our wedding day, the Perona Farms staff went above and beyond for us. Our event manager was so attentive and responsive during the planning process and our day of staff blew us away. Jenny made sure we had everything we needed while we got ready and Brendan took care of us during entire cocktail hour and reception. Overall the venues are beautiful, the staff is so accommodating and professional, and the food is fantastic. Would recommend Perona Farms to anyone looking for a venue - they won’t let you down!

We got married on 9/16 in the Refinery and we are still floating on air! Almost everyone at our wedding commented on how beautiful the venue was and how good the food was. From the beginning, Ivette worked with us and answered all our questions, and she made us feel confident and comfortable picking out the menu and adding a multitude of vegan options. Tammy was our day of coordinator and she made us feel so comfortable and as relaxed as possible as we were getting ready and they were getting the space decorated. Heather was our maitre d and she was so fantastic all night make sure we got all the food and drink we needed. Fern took care of our food and drink needs in the morning. To the whole team at Perona, thank you all for being so professional and giving us the best wedding ever!

We had our wedding at Perona Farms - Refinery and we couldn't have asked for a more incredible experience. From start - finish, our coordinator & Director of Sales, Marley, ensured that all of our questions & concerns were promptly addressed & went above and beyond to ensure our day was everything and more than we could have envisioned. When sourcing venues, Perona was one of the few venues that allowed us to host a cocktail style event for the entirety of the evening. The quality of the food was INCREDIBLE and guests are still raving about how delicious all offerings were.
For a cocktail style event at Perona, you can expect a traditional "cocktail hour" where guests will be greeted with hors d'oeuvres, a few small stations & of course cocktails. The purpose of this hour is to foster socialization. After the hour is over, they incorporate many other stations such as: Sushi, raw bar, outdoor burger bar, taco station, pizza station & carving (this can be customized and expanded based on your preferences.) The last hour or so they bring out deserts and the base offerings are phenomenal as well.
The day of was magical to say the least. A HUGE shoutout to Heather & Franklin, our maître d & day of coordinator, respectively. They made us feel like family as soon as we arrived! Their personality and energy was infectious and if you have the ability to request them, please do not think twice. They were attentive to details & requests, ensured we always had a drink or bite to eat in our hands & yielded therapeutic personalities that eased all pre-wedding jitters and anxieties that surfaced. Being you are the star of the show at your wedding, it is hard to carve out time to eat/drink, especially during a cocktail style event. Heather and Franklin were kind enough to make us plates of all food offerings and even wrap it up for us in a take home box after the event was over. Thank you both for making us feel like a part of your family and I truly hope our paths cross again in the near future!
Our vendors were incredible as well & included:
1. Marquee Studio - Photography & Videography (request Roger & his team)
2. SCE Entertainment - DJ & strings for ceremony & reception (Request Jeff Scott Gould & Mike "Bird")
3. The Hidden Daisy Florist (Lori - you were amazing)
4. Mobile Cigar Lounge - Cigar Rollers (phenomenal experience & great value)
Thank you again, Perona for making our day one of the best days of our lives!

I got married at Perona Farms on 9/2/23 at the Reserve. From beginning to end, our experience with Perona Farms was exceptional.
Upon our first tour, we fell in love with the space.
- Starting with the ceremony space, we cannot tell you how much stress and anxiety it saved us to not have to worry about the weather because of the retractable roof.
-The room has enough character to work without many florals or you can go all out and make it your own.
-The grounds in general were gorgeous, there were so many amazing spots to take pictures without having to go far. They also shuttle you around the day of your wedding so you really are not doing a ton of walking (which is a super nice detail)
-The outdoor cocktail hour space was incredible, it felt like we were in another country and our guests loved the ability to go in and out all night.
-The actual reserve is beautiful. It isn’t your typical ballroom, which is exactly what we were going for. Again, the room on its own is stunning.
Ok, now onto service:
-We worked with Marley from beginning to end, who was just so accommodating and helpful. My family had A LOT of requests and Marley made sure they were met, and we were happy. She was a big part of why we were so happy with our experience.
-In general, the service was impeccable. We and our families were taken care of from the moment we stepped into the venue to the second we left. We couldn’t have asked for anything more and it was better than I could have imagined.
- We chose to get ready at the carriage house and it was a huge part of why our day was so magical and stress free. Every little detail was taken care of from an amazing breakfast and lunch, to having steamers and supplies readily available for us, and an easy space for our hair and makeup people to work in. Everyone loved it and having that part of the day be sooooooo stress free made everything that much better.
- Our ceremony coordinators were Kim and Tammy and I don’t even have the words to describe how kind and thoughtful they were and how special they made our day. I cried when I said goodbye to Kim because of how amazing she was and made us feel.
- Our maitre d was Brendan and took care of us, from beginning to end. We opted to have a private cocktail hour (which was the best decision). He gave us the space and privacy to enjoy it but made sure we had everything we needed, he continued to do so the whole night and there was never a time we needed anything.
THE FOOD. HOLY SHIT.
I will start by saying this, I come from an Italian family with very high standards and they were all RAVING about the food.
-Our food at the suites was fantastic and again, Marley and crew were beyond accommodating to our preferences.
- People are still talking about our cocktail hour. We added on a few stations and made a few substitutions, but again, Marley made this easy and made sure we had exactly what we wanted.
- The dinner portion was incredible and they made sure we loved every single option we ordered our guests.
-My husband and I are both vegetarians and they truly catered to us and gave us everything we could ever want.
This was hands down the best day of our lives and that is because of the impeccable professionalism and service that Perona offers. Our day was better than me or my husband could have ever imagined and it is all thanks to Marley, Kim, Tammy, Brendan and the incredibly talented and thoughtful team they have on their hands!

I can't say enough amazing things about Perona Farms. They were incredible to work with from the start to the end and they helped us put together an amazing event. Through the entire planning process, Megan was so incredibly helpful. She answered all of our questions, always in a timely manor. The Perona Farms Experience tasting event was so much fun and such a great way to get to experience your venue before your wedding day. Our day of coordinators were incredible, making sure everything was set up correctly, driving us on golf carts around the property for pictures, making sure we had food and drinks available to us at all times so that we could actually eat at our own wedding. Guests raved about the food. So many people couldn't believe there was still dinner after the cocktail hour, because there was so much amazing food there. If you're debating having your wedding at Perona Farms, I'd say it's a no brainer!

If you’re even contemplating having your wedding at Perona, just do it, don’t even hesitate to think about it. Perona helped us throw the most amazing wedding experience for ourselves and our guests. From the start, when working with Ivette, she really reassured us with her knowledge about the wedding business and Perona itself, answering any and all questions we had. This venue is a truly one stop shop location that provides the highest end food and beverage for your guests. This is not your traditional basic venue food. The service was also top notch, each table having their own waitstaff, our Maitre D Portia was incredible. Always by our sides to make sure our plates were never empty and our glasses were always filled. She was such a huge help during the reception. I think my husband and I would both agree that the star of our wedding day was Brie, our ceremony coordinator. She was an absolute rockstar!!!! She called my wedding jitters, helped to make my ceremony dreams become a reality. She was my right hand man leading right up to the reception. I never once had to look for her throughout the night, she stayed close and was exactly the kind of person an anxious bride wants to work with. The venue itself is so gorgeous, it really requires such little decor, which was an added bonus. Future brides and grooms, you will never regret your decision to book Perona, and your guests reactions to the night will prove you made the right decision, just like ours did!!

This is what I had dreamt of since I was a little girl and Perona Farms made it come to life! The barn is absolutely stunning and still practical. My guests rave about my wedding still, thanks to the amazing staff at Perona. The food was delicious and everyone could not get over how good it was! The other compliments are all about the gorgeous property and the amazing staff, how friendly and helpful they all were. The DeBergh house with the rehearsal dinner blew away all our bridal party and family. Everyone loved the laid back, intimate feel the night before the big day, and I had no stress because the groom couldn’t get lost!
Megan was amazing from the day she met us in the freezing cold at 8 am to sneak us in on our perfect weekend because someone cancelled! She was so helpful through the whole process, answering emails and making me feel comfortable. Day of, when I showed up with my handmade decor I was a nervous wreck thinking it would not be set up right, then I met Franklin! He understood and I knew we were in good hands, he nailed everything! Just when I thought it could not get better we met Kelly and she was just as amazing! Even got her nails done In spirit of our wedding and the holiday! The whole team even looked for eye lash glue for me pre-ceremony! This is an amazing venue that truly cares about their weddings and the memories made! I highly recommend !

The Barn at Perona Farms - in Sparta, New Jersey - is truly an incredible wedding venue. The magnificence of the structure is only exceeded by the ability of the Perona staff to pamper its guests with wonderful service and food. It’s the perfect definition of a business that knows it’s further north than most venues… and makes up for it with their ability to throw a magnificent party. The Barn’s grounds (ceremony outside facing the barn), and their cocktail hour foods, and their reception dinner were all easily five star events! The Barn has the perfect combination of setting up the cocktail hour on the walk-in level (beautiful newly covered outdoor patio included) and the reception in the spacious area upstairs. Both levels were perfectly air conditioned on our 80+ degree day. We had Yvette as our Senior Event Coordinator and Kim who assisted on the day of the wedding. Yvette is wonderful and gives such attention to detail and the wishes of the bride and groom. Both were responsive and kind and effective. We have to say that every food item on the day of the wedding was equal or better than the already great offerings from Perona’s famous “tasting nights…..” we didn’t think that was possible. We also opted for the get-ready suites and we loved the service and ambiance there too. We thought the pricing was fairly reasonable but be prepared that every venue these days has a substantial “service fee.” At least we can say that the Perona staff earned every penny of that with their attention to detail and their constant pampering. Our guests have not stopped forwarding their compliments (and their photos that highlight even more beautiful moments at The Barn). Perona has 3 beautiful venues, we loved our choice of “The Barn.” Thank you Perona!

We honestly wish we could relive this day over and over again. It was absolute perfection! Perona seriously was AMAZING! Not one part of the day went unturned. As our event coordinator, we had Ivette. Most communication with her we don’t have any complaints. She got back to us at her earliest convenience and really laid out everything quite clear. We started off our day in the Victor and Maureen suites in the speakeasy bridal suite. Fern was awesome! She made sure we were fed, had all the coffee, water and mimosas we wanted. The breakfast and lunch was delicious! Day of coordinator was Brie. OMG! Such a sweetheart and quite a busy bee. She made sure everything was set into place and ran smoothly all the way up to the end of our cocktail hour. We were honestly sad she didn’t stay for the reception. Maitre’d was Heather. Again, the absolute sweetest person! She catered to us all night long, all the way up to when we were walking out and the room was being broken down. She communicated every last decision by us and even had an extra white truffle and mushroom pizza made to be packed up with our remaining cocktail hour food per my request. ZERO complaints about Perona. They know what they’re doing! Just make sure you’re clear and concise in what you want and they will make it play out even better than you imagined. Throughout the entire night, our guests were RAVING about the beautiful space and could not believe the amount and deliciousness of the food. Is it expensive? Like any wedding, yes. After everything is said and done, everything that’s included along with the quality, every penny was worth it.

Just first class all the way. We were in great hands from the moment we picked this venue until our Wedding in May. Always responsive and handled any concerns and questions in a very timely manner.
The wedding surpassed even our wildest dreams. Can't recommend Perona any higher. Our high expectations were beyond exceeded as were all the guests. Food, service and attention to detail were on point. Thanks for giving us the wedding of our dreams.

My wife and I fell in love with Perona Farms as soon as we saw it. The Refinery is a beautiful venue. Our wedding coordinators, Auggie and Brie, were both amazing. They made the whole process so much easier and truly couldn't have done it without them. All of the staff were attentive and a pleasure to work with throughout the day. I can not speak higher of the food. Everything from the cocktail hour and reception was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

My husband and I got married at Perona Farms in April in the Refinery and we couldn't have asked for a better day! Our wedding coordinator, Ivette, was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. She was organized, caring and took the time to answer many emails. Everyone who worked with us on the day of the wedding, especially Jenny, Fern and Heather, made our wedding day enjoyable and stress free! They took care of every detail and were so friendly and lovely to work with. The food at Perona is absolutely amazing! Our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was. If you are looking for a venue who takes pride in making your wedding everything you wish for and has an amazing staff that goes above and beyond, trust Perona Farms. You will not be disappointed!

My husband and I can not say enough good things about Perona Farms! From our very first walk through of the venue, to the day after our wedding, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Our event coordinator Ivette did A LOT of hand holding, which every anxious bride and groom need while planning a wedding, with warmth, grace and professionalism. We never felt uncomfortable asking a question (even the silly ones) and every question was answered immediately. The venue itself is beyond stunning, no matter which one you choose, so personal decorations can be minimal and everything will still look classic, modern and timeless. Our day of coordinators Desiree and Franklin felt like family immediately. We were actually sad to say goodbye to them that night! And our MatrieD Brendan made sure that we wanted for nothing and that whatever we needed was given to us without asking. The amazing attention to detail, not to mention the beautiful and extremely amazing cocktail hour and dinner (the food is out of this world!) is something out of a 5 star resort! The ONLY bad thing we can say is that everything was so perfect that by the end of the night we didn’t want to leave!! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back for their “event nights”. The best of the best for sure! If you want the most magical, unforgettable experience for your wedding I HIGHLY suggest Perona Farms.

From the second I saw the ceremony space in The Refinery, I knew I had to get married at Perona Farms and never looked back. I worked with Megan up until ceremony day and she was incredibly helpful and responsive in answering all of my questions. Day of, we had Brie as our ceremony coordinator and Franklin as a maitre'd. These people are true pros and do not miss a beat. In the bridal suites, we were fed constantly and our suite attendant, Cathy, was incredible! We had some last minute cancellations and Brie did an excellent job re-working our table layout to accommodate everyone. Franklin took the absolute best care of us. As two people who come from customer service backgrounds, my husband and I were truly blown away at the attentiveness of the staff. The food is incredible, the grounds are beautiful, and the staff is wonderful. If you have the choice, choose Perona Farms!

We really could not have asked for a better venue. Every single thing was perfect from beginning to end. Every single person that we worked with were incredible. They were honest and helpful and truly helped us execute an amazing day. What I really loved about Perona Farms was how "all-inclusive" it felt. They had everything covered. I felt so supported during the planning process and on the day of. From the suites we used to get ready in, to the bridal coordinator and more, they had EVERYTHING covered. The food and drinks were incredible. Our friends and family are still talking about it! I literally cannot say enough amazing things about this place. I am so grateful that we chose Perona Farms as our venue. You will not regret it!

I had my wedding at Perona Farms just a few days ago and I couldn’t have been happier. I worked with Megan, Brie, and Franklin. Megan was responsive to emails and answered every question I had, she was wonderful to work with. Brie did such an amazing job making sure my vision for the day came to life. It was so beautiful, I couldn’t believe it was real! My MOH had an issue with the bustle of her dress on the day of the wedding, and Brie literally made a bustle for her out of safety pins as a last minute fix. There was not one thing I needed to worry about, everything was taken care for us. For that, I am so grateful. Franklin was so attentive, he was constantly checking on us, making sure we had everything we needed. He was such a delight to have with us throughout the night. The food was excellent, our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. My husband and I are still on cloud 9 and are just sooo happy with how everything turned out. If you are thinking about booking your wedding at Perona Farms, do not hesitate, you won’t regret it!!!! Thank you so much to the Perona team!

We worked with Marley from start to finish. She provided exceptional support and service from our tour of the Refinery until our last meeting. She is very responsive and ensures everyone on the team knew about our specifications. On the day of our wedding, we worked with Kathy, our bridal attendant, whose service goes above and beyond. Additionally, Bree and Brendon were our Maître D's. Bree made sure all members of the bridal party and guest list were enjoying their time at the wedding. She even yielded a few hiccups by making sure Martin and I felt supported. We would highly recommend a wedding at Perona Farms. The Avondoglio's go above and beyond for their couples.

Wow wow wow- my husband and I are still are BLOWN AWAY by the staff at Perona Farms and our entire experience with them. Our guests RAVED about everything from the service, the kindness and attentiveness of the staff, the food, the venue itself, absolutely everything. There are times in the wedding planning process that get challenging and you start to question is it worth it - and we even live an hour and a half from Perona Farms which sometimes made us question if we should have chosen an closer venue (or at least considered one since Perona Farms was the first and ONLY venue we visited), but those thoughts were quickly put to rest from the moment we pulled up to the venue on our wedding day and were greeted by our suite attendant Linda. She was a ray of sunshine and made me feel extremely special and kick started the excitement. She was attentive and present, and so so kind. And then Bri, our day of coordinator-- with all of our decor, using rented flowers and purchased candles (aka no florist), Bri became our coordinator and our florist and she handled it with kindness, grace, and an extremely obvious high level of expertise. I had a vision, which I very vaguely communicated in hindsight, and it’s like she read my mind, but used her own special touch to make it better than we could have ever imagined. I was worried only meeting her the day before that I would regret not having our own separate coordinator, but that thought never crossed my mind on our wedding day. The set up took our breath away. And with minimal notice her and the team were able to repurpose our circle arch from the ceremony to the reception space seamlessly. And Franklin, our maitre d', wow, his positivity, generosity, and patience (esp at times throughout the night when I was lacking it) was immeasurable. He said so many things that felt so personal throughout the night, he was so genuine it made us feel extra special! Also, Marley who worked with us from the day we booked the venue, attended our ceremony which meant so much to us. I feel like everyone we worked with became instant family to us, and it was all so clear that this was exactly where we were meant to get married and that all the stress and the long drives were MORE than worth it. We will be forever grateful. Perona Farms and their staff made our dream wedding a reality. If you are considering Perona Farms, this is your sign to book with them NOW! (We were in the refinery!)

Selecting The Refinery at Perona Farms was both the best and easiest decision we made while planning our wedding.
They have a beautiful ceremony space, and having the cocktail and reception space being connected made managing guests incredibly manageable. All of our guests have raved about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food and drinks were.
The staff, starting with Marley and Bryant Avondoglio, made it clear that our day going perfectly was their top priority. And that mission was palpable throughout our entire day. No request felt impossible as they strove to make our day as memorable as possible. Brianna VanKirk was an amazing coordinator on the day by playing music during our first look and bustling the bride's gown. Franklin, our Maitre D, ensured we had enough food in our suite during cocktail hour as we found our feet after the ceremony and made sure we had enough to eat and drink during the entire evening. It felt like all we had to do was show up and everything was taken care of on our behalf.
You have enough to worry about while planning a wedding, so do yourself a favor and book Perona Farms for your venue, and you'll be both amazed and grateful at how much they help you take care of to ensure that your special day is even more impressive than you could've ever imagined.

My husband and I had the MOST AMAZING wedding day at Perona Farms. We got married in The Refinery on 11/19/22. When we initially booked the Refinery, it was not done being built, but we felt extremely comfortable booking based on their years of experience hosting weddings. Throughout the whole process Auggie was available to answer all my questions and he responded in a very timely manner each time I reached out. The whole process was so seamless and easy, I knew we were in great hands. The wedding day itself was the most perfect day- the staff at Perona made all of us feel so comfortable and taken care of. All we had to do was show up- it felt great knowing I didn’t have to worry about décor set up, coordinating with all our vendors and ensuring everything was getting done. We used the suites at the Refinery to get ready, which we had from the morning all through the wedding night. Mabel, our bridal attendant was the absolute sweetest and made sure we had food and drinks throughout the day. She also consistently checked in with me to ensure I was eating, and she made me feel so relaxed while getting ready. Our whole wedding party could not stop talking about how amazing she was. Bri was our ceremony coordinator and Kelsey our maître d. They were both so friendly, ensured the wedding party stayed on time, knew where to go, and answered any questions we had. Bri even saved the day when we were having trouble getting my veil secured before the ceremony. They both ensured we had our favorite food from cocktail hour ready in our suite after the ceremony and made sure we had food & drinks all night. Speaking of the food, our guests were RAVING about both cocktail hour and our reception- I had numerous guests come up to me and say it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Perona Farms absolutely killed it, and I am so grateful for the staff since they helped make our wedding day so perfect.

Our guests are still raving about how amazing the Barn at Perona Farms was on our wedding day. My husband and I were married on 10/8/22 and it was the most beautiful day that went so smoothly - nothing went wrong! From the rustic charm of the barn, to the incredible staff (HUGE shoutouts to Auggie, Kim, & Kelsey!) to the amazing and unlimited amount of food, everything was truly perfect. My husband and I cannot thank Perona Farms enough for making our most special day the absolutely BEST day ever!

From the day of our tour to the day we got married Perona Farms was nothing short of amazing. We got married in The Refinery on August 5th, 2022 and it was the most perfect day. When we toured, The Refinery was not complete so all we had to go off of were renders and the current state of the venue was in. We knew the room was going to be unique and beautiful, but we really booked Perona Farms because of how wonderful their staff is. We felt so important and cared for throughout the process. Marley was very responsive to any questions we had, which we did have quite a few towards the end when sorting out all the details. She never once made us feel like a burden and was always so kind! She worked with us when it came to the menu since I (the bride) am a vegetarian she made sure there were options for me, which was greatly appreciated! The day of our wedding the girls arrived at the venue bright and early. We used the suites that are in The Refinery, and it was the best decision! Not only are they gorgeous but, it was so nice to be at the venue all day and not have to worry about a thing. We were greeted by Fern who is the sweetest woman! She got us started with coffee and breakfast and kept the food and drinks coming all day. We also worked with Kim who went above and beyond for us. From setting up our décor in the most beautiful way to always being there with cold water while we were taking pictures outside. Kim truly is a rockstar and made our wedding day stress free! After Kim left, Heather took over our group and she was also amazing! She made sure we had food and drinks the whole night and was always around for us. Heather was awesome to work with! When it came to the food, everything was fresh and presented beautifully! Cocktail hour had so many different stations and the hybrid style dinner we chose left our guests with many options! The appetizers were all placed on the table for everyone to share. Followed by the salad course and then the dinner. The service during our reception was top notch. Everyone was kind and professional! After the reception we had donuts to go which were delicious! A perfect way for us to end the night. Overall, we could not have asked for a better day and it was all thanks to Perona Farms and their amazing team!

Choosing The Refinery at Perona Farms was the easiest and best decision we could have made for our wedding day! My husband and I felt like we literally just had to show up the day of and everything was taken care of! All of the guests were raving about the food and atmosphere the whole night. We were extremely well taken care of from our communication with Ivette, Kim our day of coordinator, and Heather our martri d. They did all of the leg work to allow us to enjoy every moment of our special day. We booked the Maureen suite for the girls to get ready and I am so happy we did. We loved our bridal attendant Fern and we are all still dreaming about the chia seed pudding for breakfast. The ceremony space is so gorgeous and the retractable roof made us confident that we would have a beautiful ceremony despite any weather conditions, although we were blessed with a perfect September day 🙂 The cocktail hour space was perfectly spread out with SO MUCH food and plenty of tables and seating for guests to feel comfortable and enjoy. We truly could not have asked for anything else from a wedding venue!

My husband and I had the best night of our lives - our family and friends cannot stop talking about how gorgeous our venue was, the amazing food they had, and the overall experience! Perona Farms was our dream venue and when we were able to book our date, we were over the moon, little did we know just how lucky we would be to have Perona as our wedding venue! Thank you SO much to everyone involved, we are forever grateful!!

We cannot thank the Perona team enough for making this year leading up to our wedding date possible. No detail was spared and guests raved about the food, grounds, decor, renovations and overall aesthetic even after our actual day. Loved having one dedicated coordinator throughout the year (Megan) who made sure we stayed on track with our to-do lists, was prompt with follow-ups, checked in with us and saw us off right before we walked down the isle. Our bridal attendant Cathy made sure our group was well cared for, played with our flower girls and kept us fed throughout the morning. The entire Perona staff and team are truly professionals at creating a memorable day and we cannot thank them enough!

If you don’t have your wedding at Perona Farms you are missing out! From start to finish- Perona Farms was absolutely incredible in making our wedding day absolutely spectacular. We had our wedding on 9/10/2022 at the Reserve!
From our first meeting with Ivette we knew this was the place for us. The entire day ran so smoothly thanks to the incredible staff. Brendan, Jenny, Sam, Dominica are just to name a few.
Brendan was checking on us every step of the night and made sure all our requests were accommodated! And let’s talk about the food!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Guests have been raving about the food all the weekend and have said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been too!
Even our other vendors have spoken about how incredibly organized they were!
Do yourself a favor and get married at Perona Farms! I wish I could do it all over again!
A million thanks will never be enough!
Love,
Camille & Michael

From start to finish everything was everything I could have wanted and more. Auggie was my event coordinator and he was absolutely helpful and always answered my many questions.
The morning of the big day, we had the suites for both men and women and it was absolutely amazing! If anyone is going back and fourth if they want to do it, I would 100% suggest it! The moment we got there everyone was welcoming and so helpful. They made sure we had everything we had wanted and even made us different types of food since we had some picky eaters… including myself! Jenny and Bri were my day of coordinator and I cannot say anymore amazing things about her and how she went above and beyond! Everyone in fact throughout the day were amazing!! Everything went smoothly and on time which is what I was worried about. After the ceremony, they made sure my husband and I had time to ourselves and time to eat in our bridal suite during cocktail hour. During the cocktail hour we discovered a little hiccup (my mistake) with the seating chart and the Perona Farms staff handled it so beyond well that not a single person knew something wrong happened!!! Every single one of our guests and still to this day talk about how amazing the food was and the amount of options for all different type of dietary restrictions there was.

No review that I write could ever capture how wonderful Perona Farms was for our wedding. From the first time my husband and I toured the Refinery, we fell in love with it. Marley and the entire team kept us informed throughout the process, and they were organized, professional, generous, responsive, and nice to work with. They made planning a breeze. Then on our wedding day, everything was executed absolutely perfectly. We rented the bridal and groomsmen suites and had a wonderful day. Decor was put out and collected at the end of the night in its entirety, drinks were fantastic and there was never a line, and the FOOD. My goodness is it amazing, our guests couldn't (and still can't) stop raving about it, saying it's the best wedding food they've ever had! Highly recommend Perona Farms to any future couples, and I envy those who have their weddings coming up with them! I wish we could do it all over again!
