A ceremony can be held inside the Reserve or in numerous locations nearby, including an island, an apple orchard, and adjacent patios.

Rescheduling with COVID-19

To all the brides out there with future weddings at Perona Farms- they could not have been more accommodating. They were super transparent about their rescheduling process and sensitive to our needs. They responded to our initial concerns when the pandemic started and gave us a timeline for rescheduling. It was great that they called to reschedule one wedding at a time, and gave you multiple dates in order to find one that lined up with your vendors. Our wedding coordinator, Ivette, called us to check in on how we were doing and was beyond sweet. She asked how we were doing, how we were feeling, and asked if she could do anything to help. I feel really lucky to have booked at Perona Farms, as it is clear they value family and their clients- through the good times and the bad!

Best Day of my life

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!

Have your wedding here!

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!
