My husband and I had our wedding in the Reserve in July 2023. We could not have pictured a better day! The staff at Perona are so accommodating and they make the wedding planning process seamless. Any request we made at the wedding was fulfilled, we asked for a bench seat at the sweetheart table and within seconds they were swapping it out for us. Aside from the staff, the food is amazing! I wish I could have spent an hour by ourselves at cocktail hour before guests arrived! We had also rented the Deburgh house for our rehearsal dinner and accommodations for the night prior and night of the wedding. It was definitely worth the price tag for the convenience of a rehearsal dinner on site and being able to get ready on site in the morning, along with providing our wedding party with a place to stay. Bonus points for Perona is them hosting events for the public so we can go back to visit and have an amazing meal yearly.

As a wedding photographer, I've had the immense pleasure of documenting numerous love stories at various venues, but my recent experience at Perona Farms left me utterly enchanted and inspired. From the moment I stepped onto the grounds of this breathtaking venue, I knew I was in for a remarkable journey of creativity and artistry. One of the most remarkable features of Perona Farms is its versatility. Whether your wedding theme is vintage, bohemian, classic, or contemporary, the venue offers a range of spaces that can be transformed to match your vision perfectly. The rustic yet refined barn exudes a sense of warmth that wraps around you like a cozy embrace, while the elegant ballrooms add a touch of grandeur to the celebration. As a photographer, having such a diverse array of settings to work with is an absolute dream come true. Speaking of dreams, the lighting at Perona Farms is a true photographer's fantasy. Natural light floods in through large windows, creating a soft, ethereal glow that lends an enchanting quality to every photograph. The Ceremony locations are stunning and allow for natural open air, or a closed roof if there is rain on the forecast. Of course, no review of Perona Farms would be complete without mentioning the impeccable attention to detail that the staff provides. As a photographer, collaboration with the venue's team is essential, and I can confidently say that the professionalism and dedication they display are second to none. They understand the importance of every fleeting moment and go above and beyond to ensure that both the couple and the vendors are fully supported throughout the entire wedding day. I'd love to talk about the freaking food too! The cocktail hour selection was incredible. From hand cut charcuterie to fresh wood fired pizzas, and then tacos being made on the spot. There was no shortage of food at all!!

My husband and I got married in the reserve, June of 2023. With our engagement being only a year and a half prior, we shared tons of conversations with the Perona team quite frequently. Their customer service is second to none. Marley goes above and beyond making sure all of her clients feel heard and welcomed. I was completely impressed by her professionalism while dealing with obstacles in her personal life. For example, I made her day a little difficult the week before my wedding, by asking for a signature drink that wasn’t on her recommended list. Without a complaint, she instructed her team to pre-make the drinks the morning of to make sure myself and my guests were happy. This customer service goes above and beyond any expectation. I had the pleasure of seeing Marley the day of my wedding; she even fluffed my train before walking down the aisle. A photo I’ll cherish forever 🥰 She did not need to do this as I had the fabulous Jenny as my day of coordinator. Unfortunately, I was one of the “lucky” brides who experienced constant rain on her wedding day. Jenny was able to acknowledge my anxiety and do whatever she needed to to calm my nerves while still making my day everything I wanted it to be. Overall, I have a million things to say about Perona, all positive and amazing, nothing negative. Throughout my entire experience with Perona Farms, I was greeted with nothing but respect, kindness with love and support. I am so happy the best day of my life was set in the prettiest venue in New Jersey. I truly hope I can be a guest there one day. 🤍 Thank you a million times Marley. For everything.

My husband and I got married in the refinery in April 2023. Everything was absolutely perfect. All of our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous the entire place was and how incredible the food was! We couldn't believe how much food they serve throughout the night, it was definitely one of the highlights. The staff is absolutely the best and the service was impeccable. My eyelash started to come loose throughout pictures and one of the staff members drove out to a store and was back in under 5 minutes with some eyelash glue for me. That is just one example of how above and beyond they go for their brides and grooms. We had Marley as our coordinator and I can't say enough good things about her. She made our day incredible and made the entire planning process a breeze. I never had to worry about a single thing with her as our coordinator. She was so responsive to all our emails. We had Desiree and Heather as our day of coordinators who were also amazing! Perona makes everything so easy there and think of literally everything to make sure it all goes off without a hitch. I wish we could get married here every year. Thank you for everything!!!

Oh man, if you're looking for a place to have a wedding, I've got to give a big shout-out to Perona Farms! As a wedding photographer, I've been to my fair share of venues, and let me tell you, this place is the real deal. From the moment we arrived, we felt the warmth of the staff. They were on-point all day and treated everyone with respect and kindness. And they've got this knack for making everything run smoothly without you even noticing. Like some kind of event ninjas, they're there when you need them, and they vanish when you don't. Talk about efficiency! This was our first time shooting at Perona, and the Barn, with its rustic charm and killer chandeliers, is like stepping back in time, but with all the modern conveniences you could need. Indoors and out, the place is like one giant postcard. There were countless spots for great photos! And yes, the food was also excellent. We have photographed over 100 weddings and have been to many venues around the Tri-State area and Perona Farms is a total gem. Their staff is on their "A" game and truly make an effort to create their bride and grooms' wedding vision come to life. Hope to be back soon!

We just had our wedding at Perona Farms this past weekend in the Barn and let me just say, it was beyond our wildest dreams! From the second I stepped foot into the Barn to tour the venue I knew I wanted to get married there! They were so great to work with every step of the way! The staff were incredibly nice and wonderful to be around on the big day! The food was also incredible and even days later people are raving about it! I can't recommend Perona Farms enough!

I had my rehearsal dinner at The Deburgh House on 7/19/23. It was absolutely amazing! The next day I got ready there and the house attendant Tammy was absolutely amazing! She made sure everything was done and taken care of before I even thought of it. She truly worked hard to make sure me, and my guests staying at the house were always taken care of! My wedding at Perona Farms (The Refinery) was on 7/20/23. It was truly the most magical day I’ve ever had! The staff was truly incredible and made sure I didn’t worry about anything! My day of coordinator Bre took care of problems before I even knew there were problems that had to be taken care of! The staff and the entire vibe made our night that much more incredible! I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. The grounds are beautiful and there are so many amazing photo opportunities!! Overall, I would rate Perona Fars, the staff, the food, the drinks and the vibe 100000/10!
