Pearl S. Buck Estate

If you’re looking for a wedding venue that blends historic charm, breathtaking gardens, and a team that will make your day feel truly magical, the Pearl S. Buck Estate is everything you could hope for and more. I had always dreamed of a garden party wedding where the natural beauty of the setting could shine on its own, and the estate delivered just that. I got married at the Pearl. S. Buck Estate on July 11, 2025, and it was truly the best day of my life.

From the very first tour to the pack up at the end of the night, Rachel Bova was an absolute dream to work with. She is incredibly organized, responsive, and attentive—always one step ahead with answers to every question throughout the planning process. On the wedding day itself, Rachel ensured every detail was perfect: the timeline ran seamlessly, our vision was executed just as we imagined, our guests felt cared for, and she kept me and my husband fully present and stress-free. Because of her, I was able to completely relax and live in the moment, something I had hoped for but didn’t know was truly possible.

The food was another highlight. From the signature cocktails and delicious hors d’oeuvres to beautifully plated entrees and desserts, everything exceeded expectations. Jamie Hollander’s catering team went above and beyond—not only was the food fantastic, but the servers were warm, attentive, and genuinely fun! Several of our guests even made a point to tell us afterward how wonderful the staff was.

The estate itself is nothing short of stunning. The gardens and grounds are immaculately maintained in every season, and each time I visited during the planning process, I was struck by its beauty—even on rainy days. On our wedding day, the lush flowers and greenery were on full display, and with endless picturesque spots around the property, we have the most gorgeous variety of photos to remember it by.

There is truly not a single negative thing I could say about this venue or team. Choosing Pearl S. Buck Estate was the best decision we made, and if you decide to celebrate your wedding here, I am confident you’ll experience the same magic we did.

My husband and I absolutely loved Pearl S. Buck for our wedding venue. We visited it in the fall for a summer wedding, and we fell in love. It is your perfect classy and elegant venue being all outdoors with such gorgeous grounds.

Leslie, Rachel and the Jamie Hollander team was absolutely amazing in their hospitality, support and guidance to us throughout the whole process. As we prepared for the day of the Jamie Hollander team made themselves exceptionally responsive and helpful with any questions we had. The day of our wedding day was absolutely perfect and everything went flawlessly. Our guests had nothing but nice things to say about the staff. I would recommend Pearl S. Buck to anyone looking for an outdoor, classy and gorgeous venue.

We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue than the Pearl S. Buck Estate for our wedding! The setting was absolutely beautiful, with its historic charm and gorgeous grounds. The grounds were picture-perfect, and our guests were in awe of the venue’s elegance and ambiance. Rachel Bova was incredible and supported us every step of the way. She ensured that every detail was exactly as we envisioned. Her organization, attention to detail, and calm presence were invaluable, and she went above and beyond to ensure our day went smoothly. Rachel handled everything seamlessly, so we could simply enjoy every moment without a worry. We couldn’t have asked for a more stunning venue or a more wonderful coordinator. If you’re considering the Pearl S. Buck for your wedding, know that you’ll not only be getting a beautiful location, but also the incredible support of a dedicated team!

We recently had our wedding at Pearl Buck Estate, and it was an absolutely beautiful experience. The venue itself is stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. Rachel, our coordinator, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She was the best! Her constant communication and willingness to answer any questions we had made the planning process so much smoother.

The food, catered by Jamie Hollander Catering, was simply amazing. Our guests couldn't stop raving about it. We can’t recommend Pearl Buck Estate and Jamie Hollander Catering enough for anyone looking to have a memorable and seamless wedding experience.

Can't say enough good things about our August wedding experience at Pearl Buck. We were initially drawn by the obvious beauty of the grounds and the estate itself but were equally impressed by the support from the Jamie Hollander team, particularly in working with Rachel Bova who was our wedding coordinator. Rachel's attention to detail, professionalism, and responsiveness was one of the few things that helped ease my mind during the planning process - she was always willing to answer my (many) follow-up questions thoroughly and provide guidance on how to ensure the day ran smoothly. On our actual wedding day I felt as relaxed as I could be knowing that Rachel and her crew cared just as much as I did about making the day as special as possible - you could tell from everyone's kindness and sense of urgency on the actual day. After our wedding, we received so many compliments from our guests on the food and the quality of service from the Jamie Hollander staff and team regarding how they were so attentive and went above and beyond the entire day.
If weather permits, it doesn't get much better than the outdoor spaces at Pearl Buck during the late summer! The ceremony area was so lush and green and cocktail hour in the stone patio was absolutely stunning with all the flowers in bloom - because of this, I knew I didn't have to do anything crazy with florals because the venue just speaks for itself in its beauty.
All that to say, we are so happy we chose Pearl Buck for our wedding venue - it was the perfect backdrop to an absolutely perfect day.

Pearl S buck is such a beautiful venue! We got married 9/20 and it was a dream. The grounds were beautifully maintained, we had so many compliments on the landscaping. Jamie Hollander catering is amazing. The food was so good. The cocktail hour food was 10/10. We did stations for our dinner and they offered our guests so much food. The desserts were a hit. We still have people asking for a recipe for the waffles and ice cream! Our day of coordinator was Rachel Bova. We can not say enough good things about her. She was so helpful through the whole process. She answered every question quickly and had so many great ideas/thoughts. The day of she helped set up everything and worked so hard to make it perfect. Once everything was set up she thought of everything to help the day go smoothly. Guests thought she was a friend with how helpful, easy going, and her ability to know just what we needed. She was always a step away with everything we could think of. She reminded us to eat, gave us water when we needed it and took care of everything! We were so so grateful for Rachel she was truly the best. Our day would not have gone so smoothly and stress free without her. Can not recommend her enough!!

We got married here 10/5 and our day could not have gone any better thanks to the JH staff, especially Rachel Bova. They did a great job through the whole process and set up our wedding perfectly. Rachel was literally running around making sure we didn’t have to worry about anything on our wedding day, anticipating our needs and making sure we were able to experience everything. Cannot thank her and the rest of the staff for doing such a good job and making our day perfect. Would suggest working with them to anyone looking!

Pearl S. Buck is the perfect wedding venue! It ended up raining on our wedding day and even so the location was so dreamy. All of our guests were amazed that the tent back up ceremony location was the back up and not the first choice. We also can't say enough good things about Rachel! From start to finish, she was the absolute best to work with. Her organization, calm demeanor, and attention to detail made our wedding day run so smoothly. Rachel was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and handling every little detail so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She truly made our day 100 times easier and more enjoyable!

We had a PERFECT wedding at the Pearl S Buck Estate! The grounds are beautiful, the house made for a gorgeous backdrop, and we got so many stunning pictures. Huge shoutout to our coordinator, Rachel Bova. She is so professional, straightforward, and knowledgeable, and so kind! She answered all our questions during the planning, and made sure we had everything we needed day-of (my glass was never empty!). The staff at Jamie Hollander Catering was so lovely, the food was delicious, and everything went off without a hitch. 10/10, just amazing!

I will forever be appreciative of Rachel B. and the Jamie Hollander Catering crew! They helped our day run smoothly and pivoted as needed for changes in the weather. Even in the rain, the Pearl S. Buck is beautiful.

The Jamie Hollander Catering staff were professional, welcoming, and accommodating. The food was delicious and our guests raved about the passed hors d'oeuvres, the taco bar, dinner, and desserts. We had a lot of enthusiastic, ready-to-party guests and the staff met their energy...so fun and excellent vibes!

We would do it all again! 10/10
