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, Emilâs 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 Emilâs 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 estateâs 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 coupleâs nearest and dearest.
Perona Farmsâ 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 couplesâ matrimonial dreams come true. The venue also has a catering service with a history nearly as long as the farmâs. There is an on-site greenhouse that gives its chefs access to the freshest ingredients, which are then transformed into dynamic seasonal menus.
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 couldnât 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 ! Reviewed on 04-08-2023

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! Reviewed on 24-11-2023

We chose the barn for our wedding. The most beautiful venue weâve 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 maitreâd 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 đ so Brandon went and got the perona shuttle and drove us back to our hotel. I canât 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 werenât 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. Reviewed on 11-11-2023

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. Reviewed on 01-11-2023

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 maĂźtre 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! Reviewed on 20-09-2023

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 isnât 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 couldnât 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 donât 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! Reviewed on 03-09-2023

If youâre even contemplating having your wedding at Perona, just do it, donât 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!!

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. Itâs the perfect definition of a business that knows itâs further north than most venues⊠and makes up for it with their ability to throw a magnificent party. The Barnâs 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 Peronaâs famous âtasting nightsâŠ..â we didnât 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 âservice fee.â 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 âThe Barn.â Thank you Perona! Reviewed on 03-07-2023

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 donât 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 didnât stay for the reception. Maitreâd 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 theyâre doing! Just make sure youâre 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 thatâs included along with the quality, every penny was worth it. Reviewed on 17-06-2023

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 didnât want to leave!! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend and we canât wait to go back for their âevent nightsâ.

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 itâs 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!)

We were extremely well taken care of from our communication with Ivette, Kim our day of coordinator, and Heather our martri d.

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 đ 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.

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!!!

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.

Jennifer P(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-06-2022 We got married at the barn in June of this year and had the best day of our lives. We would have given 5/5 stars but a handful of issues seemed to arise from the Perona team the day of the wedding. We had booked metro photo booth for our reception and in the past the VW has pulled around back to be displayed on the back patio, they told us today was the first day they werenât allowing this and had the bus back into the garage door of the barn hiding all its beauty and in a cramped uncomfortable space for guests to access. Our maitre d (Franklyn) was absolutely terrible, he was rude and only approached us with bad news & issues he should have just dealt with on his own, he couldnât even be bothered to be found to grab us a drink once dinner was served. A few of the past cocktail hour items they told us would be passed were not seen by the many guests we questioned about the food after the wedding but guests raved about all food that was served. What had us the most upset was when we went to pick up our personal decor the next day, our decor itemized sheet had been âlostâ and a number of our items were not returned to us and they broke our neon sign. We tried to address this prior to leaving the venue that day and spoke with Bryant (a partner/owner) who gave us his card to contact personally about taking care of the cost of the sign, but he ended up never returning any emails/calls. Itâs unfortunate a Beautiful venue that started with a great customer service experience ended so poorly. Reviewed on 15-07-2022
Amanda Goscinski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2022 Our Wedding at the Barn at Perona Farm was a dream! Marley was our event manager, and she made the planning process so easy for us by being so patient and accommodating along the way. She never made us feel like a \"client,\" and always gave us so much of her attention and thoughtfulness. Marley also stopped on the Wedding day to ensure everything was running smoothly. Jenny (Day Of Coordinator), Franklin (MaĂźtre d'), and Kathy (Suite Attendant) were so on top of everything the day of. They truly made us feel taken care of and special on our Wedding day, from constantly checking in to see what we needed, to making sure the event ran smoothly. If we needed to change anything or if something wasn't exactly right, they worked to fix it immediately and efficiently. I couldn't have asked for a better \"day of\" team. The food was delicious, and so many guests raved to us about the quality afterwards. Our add ons included a 3rd entree option, a Venetian table, to-go doughnuts, coffee/espresso, and an After Party hour with sâmores. Crowd favorites were unsurprisingly the sliders, the steam buns, and the doughnuts, but special mentions include the veggie empanadas and peach tart. Many people were wowâd by the sheer vastness of dessert display. For dinner, we opted for the salmon in watercress cream, the Chateaubriand beef, and the Amish chicken. The salmon and beef were perfect, but my only regret is not picking the Chicken Milanese as the 3rd option instead of the Amish Chicken as I think the Milanese we had at the tasting was more flavorful! Either way, our guests are still raving about all the food!The Barnâs new outdoor patio was SO lovely, and guests really utilized it during the cocktail hour and After Party. Overall, we are so happy we went with Perona Farms and couldnât have imagined a more beautiful or perfect day. Reviewed on 11-07-2022

From the start, our experience with Marley in the booking process went so smoothly & she is so easy to work with! She answered all of our questions & in a timely manner. She definitely knows her stuff! I felt so confident with the team they have in place. They were easy to work with during the process of postponing the date due to COVID. The Perona Farms experience for our tasting was such a fun event to attend & try out all the yummy selections! At Rehearsal, everything went so smoothly. We LOVE Kim! She is such a great asset to the team. She had all of us in order & ran everything perfectly. Our Officiant/Bridesmaid felt so much more comfortable with Kim's help that day too! On the day of, we started out early in the Carriage House with the girls upstairs and the guys downstairs in the Workshop. It was great, there was plenty of room for the 11 of us & the hair & makeup artists. The attendant for the day was great too! She was so sweet & helpful. The food that was included for booking the suites was awesome too! I need that recipe for the Chia Pudding Parfait! We were all raving about how tasty it was! Auggie & Mark both checked in on us as well! Making sure we were all good and event adjusting the heat from the little fireplace. It was a very nice! Having the shuttle for photos in the cold weather was really nice to get us to & from the spots on the property for photos. Kim even weathered the cold with us & stood by and held my veil & shawl at certain points for photos! Getting into the main suite inside before the ceremony was easy, all of our things were already there from the carriage house. The ceremony was everything we wanted it to be! The atmosphere was perfect for the outdoor vibes I was looking for. Kim & Marley were there to assist us in walking down the aisle & it felt like a breeze! Fixing my veil to look perfect! Cocktail Hour was SO good. All of our guests raved about the food, as we knew they would!! It went by so quick. I knew we should have added on the extra half hour! They accommodated an item we really wanted at cocktail hour as it was one of my favorite items from when they had Sunday Brunch which was SUPER yummy. All of our courses for dinner were perfect. From the Main Lobster Tail Appetizer to the Fall Salad to the Duet of Chateaubriand & Bronzino-- it was more than perfect. Brendan was our Maitre D & he was on point all night! I felt like he made the event flow so well & never felt rushed to sit to eat our courses. A table of friends even commented that they loved Fern, one of the servers so much that they need her address to put her on their Christmas card list, haha. We danced the night away & it went by so quick as we knew it would! The donuts were the perfect ending & are so good! The next morning, picking everything up was easy too, all packed on rolling carts & into our cars they went!We can't wait for someone else I know to have an event there so we can go back just as guests!

From our very first tour, we had an amazing experience with Ivette, our event coordinator. During our tour she explained all the offerings and never hit us with a hard sell. From the moment we stepped into the Barn, we were in love and we ultimately chose it for our wedding venue. In the four weeks between touring and booking, Ivette checked in but was never pushy. Ivette was a pleasure to work with the entire 19 months between booking and our wedding date. She always answered my questions promptly, and our final meeting with her was so much fun. She also came in with some amazing officiant recommendations when I found myself three weeks out without one.Our wedding day was beyond perfect. From the moment we got onto the property, Linda, our suite attendant, made us feel so welcome and she brought a lot of fun and excited energy into the room. She checked in on us just enough.

Our winter wedding was everything we could have hoped for. We went with the Refinery, which is so unique and stunning all at once. From the start, working with Marley was easy, comfortable but still very exciting. They were accommodating to the food allergies of a couple guests and the few menu items we wanted to change. She was kind, helpful and was great with communication. There are so many outstanding points to make about Perona Farms, I'll put the most impactful ones in here. The service is impeccable. Myself and my family have never felt so cared for by a business. There wasn't a thing any of us lacked the entire weekend. Someone was always checking on us or being helpful in some way. As a bride, I have never felt more special. Not just on the big day, but even starting at the tasting, to the rehearsal dinner and even picking up our decor the next day. Our coordinator Kim, kept us all on time and on track for our ceremony and made sure everything was set up perfectly (which it was). She did this all while checking on me and my girls and helping our photographers. Desirre was in our wedding but still managed to help decorate and make gorgeous signs for our perfect day. Every moment was more beautiful than the last thanks to Kim and Desirre. Franklin and Kelsey did a fantastic job handling everything for the reception, I don't think there was a moment my husband and I needed a single thing. They kept things running smoothly from start to finish. I can't say enough about the people who work there. Everyone is wonderful! If you're looking for great food it doesn't get better than this. The food was outstanding! Still-think-about-it weeks-later-outstanding. All of guests couldn't get over the food. The cocktail hour is to die for. You also don't have to sacrifice any of your wants, you get it all! Then the dinner is amazing too, we went with the hybrid option of family style and plated which is a perfect balance of slightly casual and a little refined. No one left hungry, that's for sure! Another thing to mention, if you have the opportunity to have the DeBurgh house the weekend of your wedding I highly recommend it. The rehearsal dinner held there is an incredible way to start off your wedding weekend. Again, unbelievable food and the best service and staff you could every dream of. My new in-laws stayed and they have been raving about it since!! Trust Perona and their visions, without them our wedding wouldn't have been as beautiful as it was. They have been doing this for over 100 years! Aside from definitely getting married here I would highly recommend trying to not sweat the small stuff, at the end of it, if you're getting married at Perona you'll have an amazing wedding while marrying the love of your life! All my husband and I want is to do it all again, not to change a thing but to experience it all another time! Reviewed on 20-02-2022

Marley worked with us from our initial tour of the barn venue (we ended up booking it that day-pictures donât do it justice, as it is so much more beautiful in person) up to our last and final meeting. She was genuine, kind, organized, and responsive. We had several questions and changed things around quite a bit during most of 2020 and some of 2021, and nothing was ever too much to ask. She was accommodating when we could not reach our minimum guest count and graciously made some adjustments. We finally got married yesterday, November 24, 2021 and it was absolutely breathtaking. Desiree was our wedding/ceremony coordinator for the start of the day and immediately met us outside when we arrived. She was lovely! She made sure everyone in our wedding party/family had everything they needed, kept managing our time, and made sure everything went smoothly with pictures. She even drove us around to different sites to take pictures with our photographers and made sure we had some food for the ride. Franklin was our Maitre Dâ and I cannot say enough positive things about him. He was sooooo attentive to my husband and I the entire night. He entertained my need to have control and organized the entire night to our liking. He kept the traditional stuff (Introductions, dances, sparklers) moving, so we could enjoy ourselves and dance the rest of the night. He made sure we ate throughout the night (he continued to make us plates of food and brought them to the wedding suite when we wanted to get away) and had drinks made for us before we were even done with the ones we were currently drinking. The rest of the service and operations team were also wonderful! Iâm upset I could not get everyoneâs names, but just know that everyone was so kind and thoughtful. I have never had so much more fun at a wedding and Iâm not just being biased!

We had been working with them for over a year and to say that we feel like part of their family is an understatement. If I were able to choose ten (10) stars or more I would! We initially chose them due to the location and the fact that I personally love all things rustic and fall-like. After our initial meeting with them there was no need to look any further. From the owners, to our coordinators and down to every last member of the staff they were the most wonderful people to work with. We enjoyed every step of our planning with them and they truly helped us to enjoy the process. We always felt welcome with open arms even when we attended our tasting. There had to be over 100 couples and yet we still felt like the only couple there from the moment they greeted us when we first arrived to the moment when we left. The area and view is breathtaking and the property and aesthetics are sublime. Their individual buildings (The Barn, The Reserve and The Refinery) are exquisite! The food is out of this world and the variety is amazing! In addition, the vendors that are on their list are equally amazing and are too worth ten (10) stars! I am speaking from the heart when I say that if I had the chance to do it again I would not change a single thing. When you are with the Perona Family you will become a member instantly! Wishing all fellow couples a lifetime of love and happiness! Reviewed on 20-10-2021
Joanne Gonzalez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-08-2021 What a fantastic venue. Everyone has been complimenting us on how beautiful everything was and how great the space is. We found Perona Farms by accident and it was the best accident we ever made. The entire staff was so awesome. Working with Marley, Desirre and Franklin was a pleasure. They made our dream wedding come true *even if it did get delayed by a year due to the pandemic\"* We could not be more grateful for everything they did for us. Reviewed on 10-09-2021
Courtney Easterday(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2021 My husband and I booked The Barn as well as the DeBergh house for our wedding. The best decision we have ever made! The DeBergh house was a perfect two night stay. We came up the day before and had our rehearsal with amazing food and a low key comfortable vibe at the house followed by a beautiful bonding moment with our bridal party the night before our big day outside on the porch by the fire. The ease of waking up where we needed to be was amazing. The staff was extremely responsive and read our minds for our needs before we even knew we needed it! Our guests have been raving about the Venue from the service to the gorgeous backdrop of the rustic barn. Our ceremony was planned to be outside but because of some rain, Perona was able to flawless pivot to an indoor ceremony. The staff was amazing, friendly, professional, and all around perfect. The food for cocktail was amazing and with an even more amazing family style reception meal. The space inside and back porch area was accommodating for all of our guests wants and needs. And I love that they caught my vision for switching up from a traditional wedding cake to Perona home cooked pies. Perona was beyond accommodating for any special meal requests and treated us like family. As the night wore down and our guests heading home, we were able to head back across the street to the DeBergh house with our bridal parties to kick back and bask in our wedding glory. We were sad to leave the next morning since our wedding felt like a vacation thanks to the Perona Staff. Huge shoutouts to Marley for planning, Kelly for coordinating the ceremony, Franklin for coordinating the cocktail and reception and making sure I ate during the big day, and Ginny for all our DeBergh house needs!

Rachel Cohen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-06-2021 There are not enough positive words I could say about Perona Farms, Bryant, Madison + Dessire and the rest of the staff. Our original wedding date was cancelled one month out due to COVID. Before then Perona had been great but this was when we really saw how lucky we were to have them. Throughout the entire rescheduling process they were informative, fair and understanding about all of our concerns and fears. We were even able to have a small ceremony there last year so we didnât have to wait. On June 4th 2021 we had our big family friend wedding which was well worth the wait. Everyone couldnât stop talking about the venue ( The Reserve ), the new ceremony space, the FOOOD ( we are still salivating thinking about it ) and the reception space. Everyone was so so helpful and positive. They made sure we got everything we wanted and more. The wedding was better than we could have hoped. I will actually miss working with these people and chatting about â this wedding may actually happenâ. I would recommend this venue to anyone and can not wait to be a guest there and get back there for brunch. 6/5 starts( extra point for Bryant ) Reviewed on 19-07-2021

Brittany Young(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-05-2021 Life has finally calmed down a little bit for me to finally write the well deserved review Perona Farms should have.There are literally not enough words to express how grateful I am.People always said that being a Bride and planning your wedding is stressful. Well I would love for those \"people\" to come talk to me when they are planning their wedding during a pandemic! lolHaving to postpone our wedding 2 times was definitely not in any kind of plan I had while planning my wedding, and it definitely was the biggest emotional roller coaster that I have ever been on. With that being said âŠI incredible lucky that I had Marley during this whole process. With the pandemic forcing us to postpone 2 times she made everything so incredible easy! She was so amazing to work with and made the transition of everything so simple! Perona Farms is the type of venue that i dream to work for one day. They all are so family oriented and make every single bride and their family feel like part of the family. It is no wonder why Perona Farms has been around as long as it has and why they are always so busy. Picking their venue was a no brainer for me... everything was flawless from the time I first inquired to picking up my things the morning after the wedding. If I could sit here and list every employee that was involved during our wedding day I would. Unfortunately, I didn't get everyone's names :-)I have been hearing for weeks how amazing the food was and how every employee there was so amazing and helpful, and all I can do is agree with everything they say. There is not one complaint I have about our night... Welllllll maybe one complaint, but they did warn me that you did not have any control over the weather! A little rain never hurt anyone right?... and we made the best of it!There are two employees that I really cannot say enough about it and that is Kim and Heather! They were so amazing! From the moment I got off the shuttle bus to the moment we got announced into the reception room Kim was there every step of the way making sure I had everything I needed ⊠not to mention she is the absolute biggest sweetheart I have ever met! I am so thankful I had her every step of the way! I worked a lot of weddings in my career, and honestly the biggest thing we use to tell Brides & Grooms is that they need to make sure they eat! Which back then I use to think was the most ridiculous thing to say to them. Because come on âŠwhy wouldn't you eat right? WRONG until you are a Bride or a Groom you don't realize how overwhelming it can be getting pulled in 8 million directions all the time. THANK GOD for Heather, because I don't think without her I would have ate a single thing at our wedding! Not only that she was constantly on top of everything! There was only one point in the night where someone said they needed my help with something, and before I could even find Heather she was already taking care of it. Heather made our night go flawless! I could not have asked for a better person to run the show!Now there is one other employee that did stand out for everyone! And that was Ruth one of our bartenders! She was awesome... especially with handling our crowd of drinkers!!Thank you to all the Perona Farms staff for making our day a fairy tale come true!Sincerely,Brittany & JohnnyAKA Mr. & Mrs. Young <3 Reviewed on 17-06-2021

We really can't thank them enough for the service, guidance and compassion they provided, especially in the midst of the unknown during covid. We already knew how beautiful Perona Farms is, but were still blown away on our wedding day.

The suites and our bridal party were tended to in a top-notch fashion. We were speechless walking into the reserve with the amazing job the team did with the decorations. Our guests did not, and still have not, stopped talking about how beautiful everything was. Christine greeted us immediately and really made us confident that everything was under control on a day that felt like a whirlwind to us.

The entire service team were true professionals, which was recognized by both ourselves and our guests.We have been to enough weddings to know that the food is normally just average. This was not the case here and we still don't know how they cook for that many people and provide that level of quality. Everything was delicious, perfectly portioned and timed beautifully.

Julie Smith-Napoletano(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-11-2019 I got married at The Barn at Perona Farms this past weekend and I can't rave enough about it! Like, I can't stop talking about it because it was better than most of the weddings I've ever been to (I've gone to over 30 weddings in the past 6 years). They made what is supposed to be the most stressful process, the easiest and calming experience I've ever had when planning anything. My husband (still weird to say) and I were lucky enough to have Marley as our coordinator and I genuinely want to her ask her to be the godmother of my future children. Communication was speedy, clear, and always positive. They were extremely accommodating with our requests and questions which made a very anxious bride feel like she wasn't being \"annoying\". I will admit, I was a tad nervous about not being able to have a traditional tasting session during the planning process but my mind was quickly put at ease as soon as she mentioned BRUNCH. You will have ample chances to experience the quality of their food with the complimentary a fore mentioned brunch and their \"Perona Experience\" event. Everything is seasonal, local, and HOMEMADE which you can legit taste. Legit homemade salami and prosciutto? What more can you ask for? Even if you don't book with Perona, please go to their brunch.When it came to day of, we had Desirre for our Ceremony Coordinator, Karline as our Captain, and Wendy as our bridal suite attendant. All three of these lovely ladies loved their job and genuinely wanted me to have the best day. Any time I needed something or someone, they were right there to assist and then some! The bartenders, servers, literally everyone involved was a pleasure. When you book with Perona, you are booking quality and service that is so superior, all your other married friends are going to be jealous of you and how easy your wedding was (like mine were). There are also no hidden fees. Everything is upfront and A LOT of items are included. If you are a bride who loves the look of rustic/diy but can't be bothered to make your bridesmaids set up place cards and table numbers, this is the place for you. If you want your guests to be able to ask for seconds on their entrees and enjoy the filet AND the fish at the same time with no extra cost, this place is for you. If you want to actually be in the moment with your family and friends and not worry about the details of logistics, this place is for you. Reviewed on 21-11-2019

Nicole Overbeck(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-07-2019 Words can not describe what a great experience we had with Perona Farms. They met and exceeded our needs throughout the whole wedding planning process. Marley worked with us throughout the year coming up to the wedding and made the whole process very smooth. She is a true professional. She responds quickly, makes great suggestions and made us feel special the whole time. We used the DeBergh House for the weekend and it was the most incredible experience. The house is beautifully decorated and comfortably fit eleven people all weekend. They supplied breakfast, lunch and our rehearsal dinner. Our family still has not stopped talking about how sweet Ginny and Mark are. Being able to stay on the property made everything more convenient for the whole weekend. We used the Barn for our wedding venue and are so happy we did. The Barn is the epitome of what rustic chic should look like. We had our ceremony outdoors and then proceeded right into cocktail hour on the first floor and then the top floor for the reception. The whole flow of the day was very smooth and we still haven't stopped hearing how amazing the food was. Perona Farms was the perfect venue for us and I highly recommend working with them!

Stefanie Burke(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-06-2019 We just had our wedding at Perona Farms on 6/28/19. We had the venue booked for over a year and throughout that time, Samantha worked with us to help our vision come to life. Sam dealt with our hundreds of questions that we forgot to ask her when we met and she was always quick to respond and so beyond helpful! Something we thought Perona Farms was missing, when we first booked, was an adequate place for the bride and groom to get ready on site. Luckily, months after booking, they opened the carriage house. We would HIGHLY recommend booking this as well!! From the second me and my girls arrived, Wendy greeted us, helped us unload our cars, and took care of us the whole day. The food was amazing. Probably the best quiche Iâve ever had! My husband had amazing things to say about his stay in the carriage house as well. The boys had a foose table, ping pong, beer, sodas and food as well. We walked into our wedding and our dreams became a reality. The team at Perona Farms set everything up exactly how we had imagined. Kevin was our day of coordinator and he was BEYOND helpful. Brian also worked that night and he and Sam made a point to make sure we made it to our cocktail hour, since the pictures were running a little late. They would do anything to make the bride and groom feel at ease. Once your wedding is over, the staff still cares about you and goes above and beyond to show you how much they care. We were lucky enough to see Samantha the morning after, when we were picking up our decorations, and she stopped our car because she was so happy to see us and needed to know how the night went!! We just adore her. Our family drinks a lot of scotch, and they did not have the kind we liked, and Sam helped us order a whole case for the night of. In addition, she helped make all our menu dreams come true (for the cocktail hour, reception, and after party). The ground are so well kept and we are just so excited to see our pictures. We HIGHLY recommend Perona Farms and were so lucky to have found our dream venue. Reviewed on 10-07-2019
Paula Fugazzotto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2019 Perona Farms has exceeded all of our expectations! As a newly engaged couple it was extremely stressful to find the right venue that met with our vision and budget. Perona Farms did that and so much more! Leading up to the day of our wedding, Perona Farms met with us several times to go over our exact vision (especially for cocktail and Venetian hour). Any concerns that we had expressed during the process were taken seriously and were fully addressed by the entire team. They truly brought our vision to life and we could not appreciate that enough. I hope this review helps any bride in need of a venue but mostly want to shout out Ivette, Desiree and the entire team at Perona Farms- we can not thank you enough for your hard work!

Suzanne Koneschusky(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-04-2019 My husband and I were married just recently, 4/27/2019. Perona Farms was the only venue that we needed to see because it met all of our expectations and them some! From our very first interaction, it was easy to tell that Perona would make our dream wedding come true. The staff is so friendly and super accommodating. Every space on the property is beautiful and, while the Barn is what initially caught our attention, we chose to use the newly and BEAUTIFULLY renovated Reserve for our wedding simply because it could host more people (max. is 270). Regardless of the space that you use, the food is AMAZING! All of our guests raved about the food, even now- weeks after the wedding. The basil-butter scallops were a big favorite, but all of the farm-to-table food is incredible! The staff also went above and beyond, making sure that my husband and I (and all 240 of our guests) were well fed, never without a drink, and always smiling. As silly as it may seem, seeing our vision come to life on the wedding day surpassed all of my expectations and I honestly cried when we first saw our wedding planner (Ivette) as we arrived. I cannot express how magical the day was. Every detail was perfect from start to finish, and they make the planning process so easy. Thank you again to Ivette and the entire Perona Farms staff. We will never forget you! And we will definitely be back for brunch! Love always, The Scarpas (Mike & Suzie) Reviewed on 28-06-2019
David Mendez(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2019 Whole process started w/ Bryant spending more time w/ us than any of the other venues we visited. The fact that itâs family owned and not just a property operated by a catering company is on full display when talking to their staff. Needless to say we signed the contract for the barn that day.Throughout the process their team was in contact w/ us even offering local preferred vendors to help us through the process..... they even had the âPerona Experienceâ where you were able to tour the facility w/ vendors on site to speak w/ to get an idea how everything will show the day of.My wife got ready in the Debergh House on the property. Great for all the women to get ready.... all makeup room chairs/mirrors for multiple women to get ready at one time. It has 4 bedrooms plus couches(where many of the wedding party stayed) and an outdoor patio w/ firepit, which is where a group of us ended the night w/ a few drinks and relaxation.Groomsmen got ready in a house across from barn(which we turned into our own little fraternity house.... keeps you separated from the women.... we drank some beers (dont tell my wife), while joking around and playing cornhole prior to ceremony.The weather was ideal on MDW for our outdoor ceremony which Desiree helped us put together(sheâs awesome). Receiving line at cocktail hour downstairs at the barn was awesome right up to the reception upstairs. .... follow the Perona Farms instagram page for some visuals on how to setup your party..... we got some ideas like the hanging flowers and cafe bulbs upstairs for ours (perona has the wood frames for your florist).Photo opportunities for âfirst lookâ are endless around the property.Pricing was extremely reasonable, and for the quality of food was too notch.... i got compliments on shrimp, scallops, the mac and cheese as well as the espresso/coffee station w/ homemade donuts. We had beef and fish family style which our guests loved..... because it also brought everyone together to talk.If i can make a recommendation it would be for the bride to get married here but make sure to take a moment and soak it all in, because it goes fast.

Alexa G(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-05-2019 Cody and I had the most incredible wedding at the barn this weekend. I could not be more grateful to the entire staff! They decorated the venue beautifully, were so professional and attentive. My guests left saying how wonderful the wait staff was. Our flower girl fell asleep before the cookies came out and one of the staff members was kind enough to place a few in a to go box for her. The food was to die for. We could not have dreamed of a better day. Thank you, Morgan and the entire Perona Farms staff! You made our day so special. Reviewed on 28-05-2019
Jackie Esposito(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-03-2019 Our experience with Perona Farms was incredible from start to finish. Ivette, our wedding coordinator, was friendly, accessible, and professional. The venue itself was amazing (we got married in the Barn) - food, service, ambience - all top notch and everything that we were hoping for. We also rented the cottages for use before the ceremony which were a great touch and well worth reserving . The staff on the day of our wedding was phenomenal and we wanted for absolutely nothing! The pictures we were able to get on the grounds of the property were also out of this world. Our day was simply perfect and we could not have chosen a better place and group of people to help us make our day as amazing as it was. We would recommend this venue 1,000 times over.

Irene Ferrer(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-04-2019 All of the staff were great. Our main person Samantha was so attentive. She was so polite the whole year she helped us. We had a great night. Our captain christine was so attentive to me. Our food was great. We only asked to take home to left over food we knew we would have. Maybe there was not communication on that part but they did not have it the next morning for us just our cake topper. Our donuts were give away. Half of our guests said they did not get any. We were not even given any to go home with. Otherwise the night was good Reviewed on 26-04-2019
Lisa Skawinski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-04-2019 While looking at different venues to host our ceremony and reception, Perona Farms was the second place we looked - but I knew we needed to look no further, although my now husband suggested we still attend our other scheduled appointments. It was love at first sight and I knew this was the place I was going to get married! Our wedding was on April 5, 2019 in The Reserve, which was completely remodeled about a year ago. After meeting with Marley, my husband and I both felt comfortable with her and knew that we would be taken care of. They are spectacular to work with! Every email and question was answered promptly and helped to put us at ease throughout the entire process. Although there is no formal tasting, we attended two bridal showcases through Elegant Bridal, which are free. This gave us a chance to try all of the delicious food that Perona Farms has to offer. It was set up as a cocktail hour and did not disappoint! They also hosted their own event for prospective and booked couples. We took every opportunity to keep coming back, because it's that good! Once you book with them you are also given a complimentary Sunday brunch. I'll keep coming back for that - for years to come! My head was so full leading up to the wedding that I forgot all of my paperwork (luckily my mother-in-law saved the day and showed up with everything for me), but Marley kept me at ease and said it was no problem and we would get everything taken care of. Even when my anxiety was high, they found a way to keep me calm! At the final appointment we met with our wedding day coordinator, Morgan. She was such a pleasure to work with. Again, keeping me calm was part of her job too :) The day of the wedding she was on top of everything and kept things running smoothly. I never had to worry! From getting us set up for the ceremony to afterwards, getting me prepped for cocktail hour and everything in between, she made it all look easy! She even helped the day after with packing all our decor back into the car. Lastly, the maitre d, Kevin, made sure we were taken care of throughout the reception, keeping our drinks flowing and working seamlessly with all of the vendors. If there were any problems, I surely didn't realize because everything seemed perfect! All of our guests were so pleased with the food and service. It was truly exceptional! I could go on and on, but the point of all this is that Perona Farms is awesome and we owe our BEST DAY EVER all to them! Thank you for being a huge part to the start of our forever!
