Perona Farms

We love getting to work with Perona Farms and always are eager to get to work alongside of them! Every single one of the spaces at Perona Farms are captivating to any one who steps on-site of this gorgeous venue, and every space makes a statement. Not to mention, the magnificent surrounding scenery that make for a stunning backdrop for photos. Not to mention, the staff is always an absolute pleasure to work with and everyone is so accommodating and everything always runs seamlessly.

From the stunning manicured grounds, the amazing scenery and picturesque spaces, and amazing staff, this is the ideal setting for any couples wedding day. They truly embody all of the makings for an amazing venue. We highly recommend Perona Farms — if you are looking to have your wedding at Perona, then you have found the perfect venue where they can truly do it all!

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.

Just had our wedding in the Refinery on 12/29/23 and it will be all I talk about for the next year. I knew we picked the right place to have our wedding whenever we mentioned it to anyone. The amount of times we heard "I used to go there for holidays years ago" or "I went to a wedding there and it was amazing!" was very reassuring for us and made us so excited for our day.

We had the pleasure of working with Ivette for the coordination and Franklin, Heather, and Wendy on the day of. Ivette was amazing to work with; very responsive when I asked her a million questions and planned everything to a T for us. The day itself would not have gone so smoothly without Franklin, Heather, or Wendy. They helped with anything I needed and helped me stay stress-free :) I had the best day because of them.

Now to the details... the venue is BEAUTIFUL. We had ours in the Refinery and it was already decorated for Christmas which was a huge plus for us (we had a Christmas themed wedding) in addition to our flowers and decor we brought in. The seemless transition from ceremony, to cocktail, to reception is the best part of it all. We also booked the groomsmen and bridesmaids suites to get ready in the morning and it is so worth the extra cost. It was such a fun time, made getting ready easy, and kept everything on the premises. Food was the highlight of the night, as everyone told me it would be. There was an insane amount of food at cocktail hour, and my guests told me it was the best cocktail hour they've been to. We added the sushi tower (a must) and it was a hit. So was the mac and cheese bar. Reception food was also incredible ( we had the steak and salmon option). Also a ton of food in reception.

All I can say is that my husband and I will be back year after year to go to their special dinner nights, just so we can relive our wedding again. Thank you Perona, all the coordinators, and workers for making out wedding the most magical night!

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.

I’ve photographed weddings at Perona Farms a number of times over the years. It is always beautiful and filled with so many spots for beautiful creative photos everytime I come to create there for my couples. Thanks for having me! Claire/FindOrion Photography

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 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!

We just photographed for the first time at Perona Farms (The Reserve) this past Sunday and what an amazing experience it was! The venue is uniquely beautiful (lots of different photo spots, indoors and outdoors), the staff was incredible, the food was delicious, and overall, we believe our couple had a great experience. Overall, 10/10 experience and highly recommend this venue!

I would also like to add and point out, our Perona Day of Coordinator - Franklin, who went above and beyond, not only for the couple, but also for the vendors of the day. Franklin not only took time to show us the grounds before starting our coverage, he also made sure that we were all taken care of throughout the day. He always checked in with us throughout photo taking time, guided us around the venue, and made sure our needs were looked after. One of the best Day of Coordinators we have worked with.

I have photographed over 100 weddings and have been to many venues around the Tri-State area and Perona absolutely stands out amongst their competitors. It is a well oiled venue, whose staff truly cares about experience. Hope to be back in the future!

We had our wedding here December 2023. Through the entire process the staff was great. Timely communication and receptive to all our requests. They completely catered to all our needs. The grounds and venues are beautiful. We can’t recommend them enough. Staff throughout the actual wedding is amazing. Everything from room temperature requests to drinks in hand, to food spreads….they wouldn’t let us lift a finger. We got better treatment here than you would at a 5-star hotel or spa.

Amazing place, thank you for making our dreams come true.

There aren't enough words nor are there proper words to adequately describe our experience at Perona Farms for our 11.17.22 wedding. Let's just say that from the moment we stepped foot on the premises, we were heart eyes, hooked, and in LOVE. The Refinery, coupled with Perona's farm to table concept, stole our hearts and was simply everything we were looking for in a venue and more. From the food, to the ambience, accommodations and service, Perona Farms completely exceeded our expectations. In particular, we want to thank Marley for everything leading up to our big day and Brie for taking care of us the day of as if she were the one getting married!! Thank you for the most ravishing night of our lives that we will never forget!

We were guests at a wedding held here at the barn and the service was excellent.

The staff were dressed very nicely and were so informative, helpful, and pleasant. They answered our questions kindly, were attentive with food, extremely personable (all of the staff that I communicated with!), and went above and beyond with offering a high chair for my toddler, etc.

The food: lobster, salad, chicken, potatoes, carrots and donuts were amazing, I couldn't believe it! The variety of appetizers during the cocktail hour was impressive! Everything ran smoothly, I would 10/10 recommend this venue!

Great job!!

Great venue, very unique. Not your usual catering hall. Service was very good. Food was excellent. The cocktail hour was great lots of different stations. Would recommend to others.

I recently had the honor of officiating a wedding here, what a beautiful venue! The staff was amazing and the food was out of this world!

Hi!
My name is Rich. I own Richard J Nieves Photography, a wedding photography and videography company based out of New York.
I recently filmed a wedding at Perona Farms, and I absolutely loved my experience working there.
They’re incredibly organized and made sure I was fit to work for my couples prior to the wedding date.
When I arrived, I was greeted warmly and the staff answered any questions I had with manners hard to find at some venues.
The space was immaculate and always kept tidy during the day.
The staff was always around and wiling to answer questions and help me as a vender in anyway they could.
The Maitre D’, along with the DJ of Elite Sounds Entertainment, always made sure I knew what was happening and when the next event was taking place.
The vender dinner was one of the better meals I’ve had in my career. A delicious medium rare steak with roasted carrots and potatoes.
Even when they have a policy against having light stands in the reception space, they were gracious and allowed me to leave my lighting up for my films, and I couldn’t be more appreciative.
Overall, I had an amazing experience as a vender at Perona Farms and would recommend PF to any of my couples still looking for venues.

Attended wedding at this venue. Classy and beautiful! The food was chefs kiss

Highly recommend! My husband and I just had our wedding in the barn on 6-30-22, and it was absolutely perfect! All of our guests were raving that this was the best wedding they had ever been to. The food was delicious and the staff were all incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful every step of the way. Our maitre'd, Franklin, and coordinator, Jenny, were both amazing and made sure everything went so smoothly. Even other staff went out of their way to ensure my husband and I were comfortable and feeling good throughout the day! 10/10

Perona Farms was the absolute best location to host our wedding. Marley is a true gem to work with from start to finish.

They are organized and truly go out of their way to make you feel special and taken care of. You will not want for anything. And to top if off the food is out of this world! Farm to table fresh! Everyone was raving about the venue and food! Kim was with me leading up to the big day and she is beyond a joy to have by my side. We consider the entire Perona farms team family and would recommend them without hesitation or reservation. Book now!!!! Thank you for making our day so special, love Mr. & Mrs. Weber!
