Shannon G. Married on 06/24/2022Just a dream
We feel so lucky to have had our wedding at the Pearl S. Buck Estate. Not only are the grounds literally perfect but Rachael, the venue coordinator, made an inherently stressful process SO much less so. She’s incredibly organized and communicative and truly ended up being our guiding light. I cannot recommend her and this venue enough. Oh and the FOOD! The venue exclusively partners with Jamie Hollander Catering — Our guests have said it’s the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, hands down. So if food is important to you, Jamie Hollander/Pearl Buck is the move!-

Simply Amazing!!
I simply do not have words for the amazing wedding that my now husband, Josh, and I had at Pearl S. Buck on 4/24/21! I chose this venue in the midst of the pandemic lockdown simply based on pictures (a photographers dream!), and the promptness of response from Rachael, the coordinator. I chose the venue in April 2020, and finally got to see it in February 2021. It did not disappoint!! Rachael was there for us throughout every step of the way, and offered a lot of good suggestions for our day. Rachael will never steer you wrong! She also took care of coordinating my other vendors and the timeline for the day of. It was a huge stress relief for her to do that, she is simply amazing! The day of the wedding was just perfect. The venue itself is beautiful, especially how they keep it well manicured. Rachael and her staff at Jamie Hollander Catering took care of everything behind the scenes to make it go smoothly. The staff set everything up, and it looked gorgeous - even better than I imagined. They were never in the way either while making changes, or moving things from one place to the next. They were so prompt in getting all the food out on time, and making sure everyone was well taken care of. Josh and I were even designated a specific server for the night to let them know if we ever needed anything! Leslie, you rock! Everyone raved about the food all night, and still, almost 5 months later, people are still saying how good the food was. Especially the hors d’oeuvres!! They gave Josh and I a special mixture of all the appetizers in the bridal suite to enjoy before going into the reception – the best!! The staff was there to help and serve, but I really felt like they were never in the way and never distracting us from enjoying the night. The night went so smooth, and nothing was ever rushed or out of place. If I could choose Pearl all over again, I would. Amazing grounds, the best coordinator, nice spaces to get ready, the best caterer and staff, and an overall perfect night! I don’t have anything bad to say about Pearl! I definitely recommend this venue (along with our parents) to anyone looking! You will not be disappointed!!-
