Having my wedding reception at Perona Farms was the easiest decision that we made. Tracy, Mark and their staff were superior. The food, thanks to Kirk, was over the top. Everyone commented on the outstanding choices, the quality of the food and the amazing and attentive wait staff. Perona Farms was the perfect choice in making my wedding the perfect day for me, my husband and my family. I wish we could do it all over again, because I had so much fun.Megan Quinn Beyer

Within being at Perona Farms for just 3 minutes, my husband and I knew that was our Venue! Then after seeing the menu options we were SOLD! The manager Ron was on top of everything and our Maitre d' Aggie was amazing! I wish our wedding was in warmer weather, their grounds are beautiful! But we did get our picture on the grand staircase! I still have family and friends raving about all the food! I would highly recommend Perona Farms!!

We had a beautiful day wedding at Perona Farms with a delicious buffet. Working with Jonathan was extremely easy and I would recommend this venue to anyone. They certainly know what they are doing and the experience was enjoyable for everyone. I was nervous at first about having a buffet because I didnt want our guests to have to stand in a line to get their food. I'm glad I left it up to the professionals - there wasn't a line, it was extremely well organized, and there was plenty of food and drinks for everyone. We received a decent price for having our wedding during the day and serving a buffet lunch. We also got a million comments on the cocktail hour and the food we selected for it. The only thing I was disappointed with was that we didnt get our crepe or salmon station, which we were supposed to have. There was some kind of mix up during the planning. But, I was the only one that noticed because Perona's salmon is my favorite thing they have! All of our guests were extremely content and really enjoyed themselves. The wait staff was phenomenal - very courteous, professional, accommodating, etc.

Perona Farms was amazing throughout the entire wedding experience. We worked with Tracey and she was responsive, professional, warm and accommodating every step of the way. She told us to put our trust in the venue and that they would handle everything smoothly from the moment that the festivities kicked off, and she was absolutely right. Thanks to her and the staff at Perona, my husband and I had the best night of our lives. Also, the food was excellent!

Perona Farms was the perfect venue to host our wedding. The staff, food, and grounds were incredible and we could not have asked for more. They worked diligently to make sure all our requests were met and were extremely helpful through the entire planning process. We received so many compliments from our guests on how great the wedding was, how much fun they had, and how amazing the food was. I would absolutely recommend Perona Farms to any bride and groom looking to have a wonderful wedding planning experience and unbelievely great wedding.

From the moment my husband and I decided to go with Perona Farms as our ceremony and reception venue, we knew we made the right decision. We worked with Jonathan who was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had, and was completely reasonable with every request we made. The day of, everyone was eager to help and extremely accommodating - we didn't have to worry about anything as it was all taken care of for us, which was great.The ceremony was simple and beautiful, and everyone couldn't believe how delicious ALL of the food was. We couldn't have imagined the day any better!

We fell in love with Perona when we first visited and kept comparing other venues to it. Everything about our experience was fabulous! Mark ensured that everything ran smoothly, the ceremony had to be held inside due to rain and although I was disappointed that it couldn't be outside, our guests were impressed by the elegant procession down the staircase. We had no issues with planning or executing our wedding with Perona and I would highly recommend it to future brides.

Working with Jonathan at Perona was an amazing experience. He was always accessible and provided us with all of the support we needed. Our ceremony started at 10:30 and at 11:00 we had an amazing brunch buffet. The food was fresh and piping hot... Light and fluffy pancakes and yummy freshly fried donuts. I couldn\'t ask for a better experience! Everything was set up beautifully, the favors and coloring boos we had for the kids were set up with such care...Jonathan also made sure out fingerprint tree was set up where everyone could see it. I cant say enough great things about them! I highly recommend Perona!

Perona Farms was AMAZING to us. .The place is just beautiful and the staff was amazing. When we were reading reviews for our wedding we always laughed that everyone talks about the food but the food was TRULY amazing. We had so much food at our cocktail hour that I didn't even have a chance to try everything. The maitra'd was great and she helped us in every way that she could. If I was to do my wedding all over again I would definitely pick Perona Farms again. All my family was out of town and I didn't have anyone help me set the place up but Perona Farms does everything for you. All you have to do is show them how everything goes and they set everything up for you. That was a HUGE burden off my chest.

Jonathan and the whole perona farms clan was WONDERFUL to work with. Their food was amazing, the grounds were beautiful. Kevin our matre' d was great! I do not have any complaints about perona farms. I would recommend them to anyone. Mark the owner called our hotel for us at the end of the night because our shuttle was late. They are all just wonderful there. Marley and the woman working with her helped guide a flawless ceremony. UNBELIEVABLE! PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT place for a wedding.

Perona Farms was so very easy to work with. They were able to take our budget and actually work with it. So many other venues do not do that. Perona Farms is a very family friendly run business. They really took the time to work with my husband as well as my parents who were a huge part of our special day. One thing that stood out about Perona the most was the food. The food was beyond delicious. They use the jersey fresh program and the freshest in season ingredients. All of our guests raved about the food and many of them said it was the best wedding they have ever atteneded. The food was a big part of their commentary. Many guests felt that cocktail hour was the dinner with 5 hot dishes, 5 cold, 12 passed appetizers, and three speciatlyy chef stations that we got to choose, and edible cocktails for a unique twist. They coudnl't believe when they came into the Florentine Ballroom that they got a four course meal with lobster and filet mignon. One thing also that Perona does is give you a recommended menu but than lets you create and add any personal recipes and their chefs will incorporate that as well. My husband is a butcher and he really wanted to pick a venue where food was a major component to our special day. Perona Farms was great in all respects but the food was outstanding!

Perona Farms was like a dream come true for our reception. It is one of the most beautiful places I have seen and the service was immaculate. Jonathan coordinated a wonderful wedding and always worked with our military schedule. People are still talking about how beautiful and fun everything was and how amazing the food was. I highly recommend them for any wedding.

Perona Farms was amazing. We worked with Jonathan and he ensured everything was perfect for our special day. Always quick to email us and call us back. The food was outstanding. Many of our guests told us that the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding. During the wedding, the matre di met our every request. We missed portions of cocktail hour due to photos, and he quickly put together a plate of many of the passed hor's d'ouvres. They were excellent.

THE BEST WEDDING RECEPTION VENUE EVER!!!!Our wedding planner Andy recommended Perona Farms, and I was VERY IMPRESSED. It was like a dream coming true in my very own eyes.The service was professional, and the food was outstanding. Even though we had some vegetarian guests, Perona Farms took care of that. I highly recommend them.I might get re-married just to come here again! (Haha, just kidding!)

We had a great time at our wedding at Perona Farms. When we were looking at venues (for both ceremony and reception), we realized that we just kept comparing everything to Perona Farms, so that's where we booked. It is a great location for pictures as well, which was important since we wanted to keep everything in one place as much as possible.Everyone we dealt with there was very responsive and really on top of things. They communicated clearly what we needed to do when. We worked with Jonathan and overall had a great experience. He was helpful in making suggestions when we were being wishy washy about things.There were tons of menu options to choose from, and everyone at the wedding raved about the food - both the quantity and quality. They were especially sensitive to providing tasty vegetarian options too (I and a number of friends & family are veg) - very willing to work things out with us. My husband's parents only eat plain food (don't ask) and Perona Farms was totally willing to make 2 special plates just for them. I only wish I'd gotten to eat more of the food!! We got a taste of the chefs' work by going to the Sunday brunch at Perona Farms - they gave us comps for 2, and we brought my parents and his mother. But Jonathan was there while we wandered around during bruch, and was kind enough to comp all 5 of us! That just the kind of attention that is typical of Perona Farms. Our parents all loved the food and were excited about what the wedding food would be after that.I had been a little wary of just picking a cake out of a book without ever tasting anything. We picked one of the standardized designs, which they allowed us to customize by making some of the stripes on it blue to go with our colors. I have to tell you, my worry about the cake was totally unfounded because it was one of the best cakes I've ever had! When we cut the cake and my husband fed me a bite, I actually asked for more :) And he keeps asking if we can eat the top layer now and not wait for our 1st anniversary.All the staff there really took care of us, the facility is lovely, and they really aim to please. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

We had my daugher's "organic/local" wedding at Perona Farms two weeks ago. I was amazed at the level of attention we were afforded, given the unsual food requests we had. My daughter wanted only locally grown, organic food served, and so it was. Mark (one of the owners) went out of his way to work with us to source all of the food from local farms . "Jersey Fresh" was theme of the day. The chef developed new receipes for us, and created a cocktail hour and dinner that my guests are still raving about 2 weeks later. They have all said it was the BEST food they ever had at a wedding, bar none. No ony that, but the service was impeccable. If you are looking for a wedding venue where you can have organic/locally sourced food and are treated like family, I cannot recommend Perona Farms more highly.
