Our perfect day!

We had our wedding in September 2023, and the Perry team, especially Angie, made the whole process enjoyable and seamless. After walking through the vision for the wedding and listening to their recommendations, so much stress was taken out of the planning process!

The service staff during our reception was absolutely wonderful. Everything came out in a timely manner and kept a great pace. My husband and I had the most wonderful night of our lives, and can't recommend The Perry enough!

Above and Beyond- My Guests Are Still Raving!

The Stafford’s Perry Hotel staff went above and beyond to make our day incredible! Angie is one of a kind but all of the staff members who worked on our special day got tremendous kudos from our guests. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of - they just handled everything! Our guests are still talking about the meals and we’ve only heard incredible feedback. I know that there are dozens of weddings at the Perry Hotel every year, but they made me feel like I was their only wedding. I will forever be grateful to the Perry Hotel for not only facilitating the day of my dreams but going absolutely above and beyond compared to your traditional wedding venue.
