Nestled on 57 picturesque acres in Andover, New Jersey, Perona Farms is a fifth-generation family-owned estate that has been the backdrop for unforgettable weddings for over a century. Our property features three uniquely designed wedding venues—The Barn, The Refinery, and The Reserve—each offering its own distinctive ambiance and tailored experience.
The Barn, originally built in the late 1930s, blends historic charm with modern rustic elegance. With its iconic silos, a fully covered patio with outdoor bar, and a vaulted reception space enhanced with built-in uplighting, The Barn accommodates up to 200 seated guests and offers an effortlessly warm and inviting setting.
The Refinery, thoughtfully redesigned in 2020, is a sophisticated fusion of industrial edge and rustic refinement. Featuring exposed white-washed brick, statement lighting, and contemporary furnishings, The Refinery hosts up to 170 guests for a seated reception—or 200+ for a cocktail-style celebration. Its intuitive layout ensures a seamless transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception.
The Reserve, our newest gem reimagined in 2025, evokes the romance of a Tuscan villa just minutes from home. With rustic wood accents, modern finishes, and space for up to 275 seated guests or many more for a cocktail style event, The Reserve offers a destination wedding feel without the travel.
Our on-site culinary team, supported by our greenhouse, beehives, and partnerships with local farms, curates vibrant, seasonal menus that highlight the freshest ingredients. From artisanal hors d’oeuvres to unforgettable entrées, every bite tells a story.
Perona Farms also offers getting-ready suites for each venue and two charming on-site homes for overnight accommodations—making your wedding not just a day, but a weekend to remember.
We invite you to experience the magic of Perona Farms for yourself. Schedule a tour today and let us help you bring your dream wedding to life.

Though this review comes a little late, it is important for my husband and me to share the pure magic of our wedding day at the Reserve at Perona Farms on July 3, 2025—truly the most perfect day of our lives!
Early in our engagement, my fiance and I had differing visions for our wedding day. I dreamed of an intimate European wedding, while he pictured a larger local celebration. After thoughtful discussions—and even speaking with planners abroad—we chose a local wedding to ease travel and financial burdens on loved ones, especially some of our older family members. That said, touring venues became overwhelming and stressful for me rather than exciting—until my bridesmaid and a cousin both mentioned Perona Farms. I soon booked a tour and hoped for the best.
My husband and I arrived with cautious hope, agreeing that if it wasn’t “the one,” we’d pause to regroup. Megan welcomed us warmly, guiding us through the Refinery and Reserve. By the drive home, we knew we’d found our venue—due to our guest count, we chose the Reserve.
Megan was an absolute dream to work with. She was prompt, attentive, and truly worked with our budget. When renovations to the Reserve were announced after booking, she calmly assured us everything would be ready in time (and it was!). A follow-up visit with my mom left us both in tears over the stunning transformation. Later, Marley took over as Megan moved into a new role. Marley was just as wonderful! During our menu tasting, she addressed every concern and helped us create a menu we both loved.
The wedding day unfolded flawlessly. Alish, our day-of coordinator, brought my vision to life while decorating the venue and stayed by our side leading up to the ceremony. Kathy, our suite attendant, assisted in the Carriage House and Workshop as we arranged bouquets and steamed gowns. During the reception, Heather, our maitre de, was there for any need. She even bustled my dress a couple of times and ensured we took home leftovers as we were on the dance floor all night. The entire menu turned out perfect and the food was great. Our guests continue to rave about the stunning uniqueness of the venue with its Tuscan charm
One small critique my husband and I discussed post-wedding: communication between Alish (at the Reserve) and Kathy (at the Carriage House/Workshop) could have been smoother. Right at our scheduled first look, it began to downpour, which required us to shift plans. While the first-look photos turned out beautifully inside the Reserve, my entire bridal party waited longer than expected in the suite—despite my maid of honor and me voicing concerns. This left less time for candid group shots, especially with all my girls. A dedicated bridal suite at the Reserve might have helped in this situation. Even so, this minor hiccup did not diminish the overwhelming joy of the day.
Overall, my husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Perona Farms for your wedding. Every single person there is a gem and played an integral role in the day’s seamlessness. We are forever grateful for Perona Farms helping create our most magical day and for the memories we’ll treasure forever.

Our Dream Wedding at Perona Farms – July 19, 2025
I’ve always dreamed of getting married at Perona Farms, and on July 19, 2025, that dream came true! The property is absolutely stunning, and overall, our day was everything I hoped for.
Our event coordinator was Ivette. She was kind and helpful, but most of our communication was through email, which I didn’t love. I only spoke with her a few times before the wedding, mostly in the last month. Everything still came together beautifully, but I do wish there had been more personal contact earlier in the process.
We got ready in the Carriage House and The Workshop, and had Cathy and Amy helping us. I believe Amy was in training, and while they both worked hard, it would’ve been great to have one person dedicated to the ladies and one to the men — there were moments when no one was around to assist. That said, Cathy was truly amazing. She went above and beyond — she even drove to the parking lot to move my car and helped arrange kids’ meals for the flower girls. While I was getting ready, it dawned on me that I forgot a photo for the memory table, I started crying Cathy stepped in and got the photo printed anD a frame was provided for us. I was so happy! She made me feel so cared for and calm that morning.
My day-of coordinator, Ana (Antasia), was incredible — her heart is truly made of gold. I gave her my setup directions, and she executed my vision perfectly. Walking into the space and seeing it all come to life was such a special moment.
Our ceremony was supposed to be outdoors, but about 15 minutes before it started, it began to rain. The staff quickly transitioned everything indoors to the Barn, and honestly, I’m so glad they did. It looked gorgeous inside, and I didn’t have to worry about my heels sinking into the grass or my hair blowing in the wind.
During the reception, another coordinator stepped in for Ana. My husband and I had asked her to keep guests from approaching our sweetheart table while we ate — she did her best, but a few people still came up.
The signature drinks were delicious, and our Maitre’D kept everything running smoothly and the drinks flowing all night. We specifically requested Ruth as our bartender because she was so amazing at our Perona Experience, and she did not disappoint!
The food was outstanding, as expected from Perona Farms. Unfortunately, due to a timing issue with our photographer, we completely missed our cocktail hour (which I’m still sad about — but that wasn’t Perona’s fault).
A few small suggestions for improvement:
The bridal suite near the reception area could be larger — it got very crowded and stuffy with everyone stopping in between the ceremony and reception and it was extremely hot in there.
I wish someone had fluffed my dress before walking down the aisle and while standing at the altar.
The reception lighting stayed a bit brighter than I had requested.
Lastly, I had asked to bring home any leftover cake, but we only received two small pieces. Our cake was for 160 guests, and we had about 102, so that was disappointing.
Even with those small hiccups, our wedding at Perona Farms was absolutely beautiful. The staff truly cared, the food and drinks were incredible, and the venue is pure magic. I’ll forever cherish that day — Perona Farms made my dream wedding come to life! Courtney & Andy

I truly do not know if there are enough words to express how amazing Perona Farms is as a wedding venue. We had the absolute pleasure of getting married here on August 24, 2025. From our first visit, we were in awe of the venue and how sweet the staff was. We toured The Reserve before the renovations had started. But, we knew that it could only get more beautiful than it already was. Desirre welcomed us with a warmth that we didn’t come across at any of the other venues we visited. Having just gotten married in The Reserve as well, she gave us so much insight into what we could expect on our own wedding day. We made a connection instantly! We had the pleasure of working with Desirre through the whole planning process and she made it so enjoyable. She was so kind and helpful through every step. There were no questions too big or too small to ask her. She had great advice and really was so easy to work with. She gave us everything we needed so that we were fully prepared in planning up until our wedding day.
The Morning Of we got ready in The Carriage House and The Workshop. It was such a great experience! Cathy greeted us with such kindness and truly took care of us all day! She set up my dress, steamed my veil, set up all the flowers on top of setting up all the food and making sure I was eating, staying hydrated and enjoying a mimosa. It was such a special part of my day. She is a gem and made the morning so stress free and enjoyable!
Charisse was our Day Of Coordinator and she was nothing short of amazing! She was prepared with everything to make the day go smoothly. From decor set up to ceremony logistics to rounding up the bridal parties, she was everything we needed. She took my vision and ran with it. I had full trust in her that she would take decor like our card box/guestbook, welcome sign, memorial table, etc. and make it look beautiful. Our ceremony was perfect and ran so smoothly!
Brendan was our Maitre’D and he was fantastic! He was in constant communication with our DJ and they worked together to make the whole reception run smoothly. He made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our night. He was with us until we walked out the door and onto the shuttle.
The food was amazing thanks to the incredible kitchen staff! The waiters and waitresses were amazing and so caring to all our guests as well. The drinks were also so great and the bartenders were awesome.
We are still getting texts about how amazing our wedding was. Our guests cannot get over how beautiful Perona is, how great the food is and how amazing the service was.
The whole Perona Farms staff is exceptional. I look back on our wedding day and all I can do is smile and get emotional. The level of care they gave to my husband and I and our loved ones was top tier. There was truly not one ounce of stress on our special day and even if there was, they would have done anything to fix it.
We could not recommend Perona Farms more. It was an absolute amazing experience getting married here! If you can, do it!
I’m hoping that we are able to attend another wedding here because I want to experience it all again.
Perona Farms, thank you for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more! We appreciate it!

From the moment my husband and I stepped foot into The Refinery at Perona Farms, we knew we wanted to get married there. Desirre was our event coordinator and she is the best! She always promptly answered any of my questions and was so helpful throughout the entire process. She even made sure our menu had enough gluten free options for me which was so appreciated! Maya, our day of coordinator, is the sweetest! She really brought our vision to life and she made sure everything ran smoothly the day of our wedding. Jack, our maitre d, never missed a beat. He made sure we were both good on food and drinks, and overall doing good throughout the night. Fern, our suite attendant, was so helpful with steaming my bridal parties dresses, as well as my veil. She always made sure I had something to eat and was very sweet and so helpful.
The venue and grounds are so gorgeous at Perona Farms and our guests could not stop talking about it. Our guests also loved the food and drink. No one left hungry and there were so many options of food for everyone. The Refinery really speaks for itself and we did not need to add much decor to it. We were so lucky to have a beautiful, sunny day which made for great photo opportunities around the premises. We had our first look at the willow tree and the photos came out stunning.
My husband and I can’t thank the staff at Perona Farms enough for everything they did to make our day run so smoothly. I knew from the moment I met Desirre, we were in good hands. I was so sad when our wedding day was over and I hope to be back at Perona Farms in the future. If you are thinking about booking your wedding here, do it!! They are the best! - The Wulff’s - 5/1/25

My wedding was an absolute dream come true. I do not have enough words to express how amazing everyone at Perona was. Tammi and Heather-- we absolutely adore them! They made our day so very special. Megan and Marley were absolutely amazing at being so communicative and answering my millions of questions as a type a, anxious bride. Fern and Amy were very attentive and kept us hydrated and fed the morning of the big day. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The food is immaculate. The getting ready space in the refinery was spacious. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. If I could give Perona a million stars, I would.

Oh gosh, I don’t even know where to begin, but I just wish I could give more than 5 stars! This venue was truly the highlight of our wedding and hands down the best decision we made. My in-laws, who have lived in New Jersey for over 20 years and attended countless weddings, were blown away. Every single guest had nothing but praise for the venue! The location is perfect as it was easily accessible from Central Jersey with no traffic, especially on weekends. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, the food was plentiful and incredibly delicious, and the restrooms were spotless and well-maintained throughout the event. Parking was easy and convenient for all our guests. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff. The event coordinator and team were so communicative, attentive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. Their professionalism and warmth made everything seamless and stress-free. I can confidently recommend this venue to all my family and friends. We’re already looking forward to coming back for future celebrations!

Perona Farms isn't just a venue; it's an experience, and a huge part of that is their exceptional staff. There's a reason they've been in business for over 100 years! The grounds themselves are gorgeous. We had our ceremony and reception at The Reserve (perfect for our 225 guests), and while the renovations are stunning – and the cocktail hour is legendary (Aperol Spritzes and Old Fashioneds on tap!) – it was the team that truly made our wedding the best day of our lives. I have to specifically call out Desirre (event coordinator), Heather (maitre d'), Cathie (suite attendant), and Ana (day-of coordinator). If you can, REQUEST THEM. These women are absolute rock stars. From the moment we arrived, we were in good hands and definitely treated like the MOST important people. Desirre worked so closely with us and our families to make sure every single detail was perfect. Heather ensured we were never without a drink or a bite to eat, waiting on us hand and foot. Cathie made our mornings stress-free and luxurious, with endless food and perfectly steamed dresses. And Ana -- literally perfect sweet, angel -- she made our vision a reality, making sure the day was exactly as we dreamed. She took the time to truly understand us as a couple. She CRUSHED my tablescapes and all my decor... like unreal she didn't even see the Pinterest boards, just knew the vibes lol. The venue itself is incredible – the outdoor spaces, the fire pits, the reception space, the food (out of this world!) – but the staff elevated it to a whole new level. My husband keeps saying we need to do it again (as guests!). We feel so incredibly fortunate to have celebrated at Perona Farms and are so sad it's over!!!!

I would have every event at Perona Farms if I could. They are an incredibly knowledgeable team, so accommodating, and make the day perfect. There was not a single thing I would change about the venue or the team - everything was perfect. I cannot say enough good things about their them - so professional and thoughtful and just overall incredible. My guests were in awe of the venue, food, and general ambiance. Their team was incredible and they were like ninjas during the day- available for anything we needed, making sure we were fed, had drinks, and everything else we could’ve needed. Ivette was great during the planning process and Brianna and Heather as my day of coordinators made the day absolutely seamless.

We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with our wedding coordinator Megan and the entire staff at Perona Farms for our Monday wedding in the Refinery on 4/21/25! From start to finish, everything was handled with such professionalism, care, and attention to detail—it truly made the entire process feel effortless.
From the moment we toured Perona Megan was open to any questions or concerns we had, ensuring that we knew everything they had to offer and more. Every time I had a question she got back to my emails instantly and thoroughly- never leaving a question un-answered.
Our day of coordinator, Anna, was incredibly thorough, always a step ahead, and made sure every detail was taken care of, which allowed us to fully enjoy our day without a single worry.
Our bridal attendant Cathie was always a step ahead, whether it was providing a sewing kit or offering to steam everyone’s dress, she was right there whenever you needed her with the biggest smile!
Brendan took care of us throughout the entire cocktail hour and reception, making sure we ate, and always had a drink when we wanted one!
The communication throughout the entire day was clear, consistent, and reassuring, which made a huge difference in making us feel supported every step of the way.
On the day of the wedding, the staff executed everything flawlessly. From the setup to the timeline, everything flowed perfectly. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful, smooth, and well-run the entire day was- as well as how beautiful the venue was, and how delicious the food was!
We’re beyond grateful to have had such an amazing team helping bring our vision to life. Thank you for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

A review won't do enough justice for how effective, impactful, and enjoyable it was to work with Perona Farms, but, I'll do my best to convey our sentiment in 3500 characters.
When I say that my wife and I only looked at one venue and immediately signed with Perona - this should not be taken lightly or as an understatement. We had heard how great the venue was and even attended a wedding there many years ago, but upon our visit and talking with Des - the venue and service was everything we could have hoped for. It was the easiest decision since my wife said yes ( I hope it was).
To ensure I give the appropriate folks their due kudos and sorry if there's any typos in spelling:
Desiree 🥰
Anna 🥰
Reece 🥰
I think there was a Baron, who packed us some chicken fingers and fries to go 😅 (GOAT) and everybody else that played a role to creating the best experience - a thousand times thank you.
Our experience with Perona was far from conventional, but it's important to share to show how willing the venue will work with you.
We originally had booked our wedding for Feb'25, but it turns out construction was being planned to renovate the Reserve during this time. When the venue reached out to share this news, I fully expected some type of ultimatum. For reference, we booked February because of the winter rates and any other season would have been out of our budget, especially if we rescheduled to spring.
However, Perona was more than accommodating and even apologetic! I wish I could remember who we spoke to, but he was an absolute delight. Him and Des truly made this change so worthwhile. My wife and I got our dream wedding in the spring and with the renovations in place - it was truly a dream come true.
Some highlights I want to share:
- Food Tasting night was an event in itself and so good. When you read the reviews about how good the food is - it is not an exaggeration. My guests couldn't tell you what I said in my vows, but they will tell you who cooked the scallops, the line for the scallops, and how there were scallops and lobster tails during cocktail hour.
- The partnership they provide in every step of the way. Des, our sales coordinator answered every question we threw at her with haste and precision from over a year out to the morning of when we forgot to print our menus. Truly a delight - she was with us from start to finish and we're sad to not get to work with her any longer in a wedding capacity. But maybe, for vow renewals??
- Anna was our operations lead from rehearsal, getting ready at the suites all the way up to the reception. Perona is so damn good at running weddings and I think a core piece of that is Anna. If it's Ana - I am so sorry. We were too busy gawking over how amazing you were to read your name-tag. Did I mention my button broke off my jacket during our photoshoot and Ana keeps a sewing kit on hand? What a lifesaver. That was the only snafu and was quickly resolved by Perona's staff. By the way, it's Ana. She is the sweetest.
- Reece was our Maitre'D and handled much of our reception and cocktail hour. He answered every request and was constantly checking in. I was so busy with mingling that he perfectly timed when to serve our dinner to ensure it was hot. Brought us a lot of food from cocktail hour knowing that we'd miss most of it.
Delis and I can't stress what a dream team we had, but I'm also certain everybody from Perona is meeting the bar. Many thanks again and hope to see yall again :)

If I could give 1000/5 I would. We had our wedding at the newly gorgeous renovated reserve. Not only was it gorgeous, but the staff took care of us from the moment we walked in there to the next day picking up our decor. The food was incredible, locally sourced and a huge crowd pleaser! All staff was AMAZING. I did not have to worry about a single thing and was so calm on my wedding day because of our amazing venue. Run, do not walk to perona!

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.

I got married in the barn everyone came out to me talking about how beautiful this place was and how they wish they had gotten married there. The staff was incredible and the sweetest people I’m going to really miss working with them! This was a wedding out of a fairytale and everyone said it was the best wedding 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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
