The Perry House

I had the most amazing experience at the Perry House. The venue, the staff, the food, the ambiance, the space, all impeccable. I have to give a very special shout out to Jenn our coordinator and Alyssa her assistant. They were ON it. Weddings are obviously so stressful, but I was at ease the entire time and knew I was in great hands. My guests kept complimenting how delicious the food and service was as well. The venue is so quaint and intimate. You feel like you're in someones home, not a cheesy banquet hall (with bad lighting). We really had such a magical experience. My friends (who are quite lively and can be a handful) were just having the time of their lives. Many of my guests said it was hands down the best wedding they have ever been too (and they have been to several)

The biggest compliment I can give too, as an events and hospitality professional myself, it was so easy working with their team and they were extremely professional. They were super flexible with all the final changes, had amazing attention to detail, and were just a pleasant group to work with. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.

My husband and I got married at the Perry House on October 2nd, and truly had the best day of our lives. The Perry House has such a beautiful, historic charm to it, and the second floor of the house with the view out to the Monterey Bay will leave you speechless. Such a wonderful venue with fantastic food. Jennifer, Alyssa, and Amber were amazing throughout the whole process and incredibly attentive on our wedding day. My husband and I are from Chicago, and the team made our experience so amazing from start to finish, and were very responsive to emails and phone calls throughout the planning process. We were able to schedule a private food tasting, and all of our decoration and food requests were accommodated.
We are so happy that we chose to get married at the Perry House, I really encourage couples to book here for their wedding. The most perfect day, with such a beautiful, intimate setting. Cannot thank the staff enough for the most perfect day!

Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more! The Perry House is beautiful, the food is incredibly delicious, the staff is amazing and most of all, our day-of coordinator, Jennifer D. was fabulous! From the moment I met her, I knew our day was going to be spectacular. All my worries went out the window. She made sure every detail I envisioned came to life. She is sincerely kind and loving. We cannot thank Jennifer enough for the effort she put into our day. Her assistant Alyssa is also a breath of fresh air! She is always smiling and always offering a helping hand. I feel so blessed that they were a part of our experience and I highly recommend the Perry House to anyone looking for an unforgettable, classy and beautiful wedding!

The Perry House was 100% one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, thanks to our amazing coordinator Jenn, production assistant Alyssa, and the entire PH staff!! My husband and I are still in bliss over how perfect and magical the entire event was, from the beautifully decorated house with so many places for guests of all ages to enjoy, to the DELICIOUS food that we've continued to receive compliments on weeks later (definitely go to one of the tastings if you can!), to the unbelievably smooth execution of flipping the ceremony space to the reception tables. I could go on and on about how this is literally the perfect venue and importantly, great value for the price since so much is included (which is hard to come by these days especially in the Bay Area). All the staff made sure we were taken care of and well-fed, and we felt like we could actually *enjoy* our own wedding and talk to all of our guests since we didn't have to worry about the details as the night went along. If you're looking at this page, look no further and book this venue for your wedding (dates are gone quickly) ASAP!!!

I can’t say enough good things about the Perry House and the team. We got married there on a perfect Friday in May. When we started looking we wanted a venue that included a lot of the amenities and setup for you, to eliminate some of the planning process, and Perry House fit the bill.
Ease of planning became just a bonus after we saw the venue. It’s gorgeous! You don’t need decorations in a venue this beautiful. It’s impeccably maintained, and photographs beautifully.
We were so lucky to have Charlene guiding us through the process to ensure our vision and day went perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for a better cheerleader and guide through the day. She made the chaos seem normal and really shielded us from any issues.
But lastly the food. We still have friends and family complimenting us saying it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had. It didn’t miss. Thank you Perry House!

The Perry House was an amazing venue for us in every possible way. They were quick to get back to us on any questions (and we had a lot) and efficient with our time getting all the details ironed out. Charlene and Tammy were both wonderful and we're very grateful they helped make our day even more special than it already was.
Day-of they were super organized and everything went smoothly without any worries on our side. They were very professional with the whole event, start to finish.
The food was a definite standout (get the ravioli!) but the venue itself was gorgeous as well. It made figuring out decorations much less stressful knowing that if we did nothing it would still look lovely.
We had about 80 guests and they all had a fantastic time.
We felt very supported throughout the whole process of organizing the event and would highly recommend The Perry House for any mid-size wedding.

I just want to give a big shout out to Frankie and her team for all of their hard work on our day! The Perry House was a dream come true. We will cherish our moments there for a lifetime! I highly recommend this place for intimate weddings! Beyond magnificent!

How much more can we add that hasn't already been written by dozens of other 5-star couples? We didn't have a dream wedding in mind; our main goal was to spend as little money and effort as possible to host a fantastic party for our friends and family (and, also, get married). With the Perry House, we got that and so much more.

Can we just talk quickly about the value of a full-service venue? Catering, drinks, staff, linens, tables, chairs, those cute little string lights, heating lamps--it's all just there. You don't have to think about it, you don't need to add it to your checklist, you don't need to deal with last-minute snafus. The Perry House does it ALL, and also has fun add-ons (like a fire pit for late-night s'mores and a pizza oven for a late-night snack--BIG hits with our guests). And it's not like you're sacrificing quality for convenience; the food is phenomenal (don't sleep on the rockfish if it's available), the kids meals are served in the most adorable little dishes (macaroni in an espresso cup?? stop), the staff is efficient and knowledgeable and helpful and in every way perfect.

Speaking of staff--what would we have done without our day-of coordinator, Charlene? Her services were included in the cost of the venue rental, and she was an angel sent from above. She helped us through every step of the process, including planning the timeline for the day, the structure of toasts, the flow from dinner into dancing, and more. Day-of, she helped coordinate communication from VIP guests who were running late due to traffic, directed the processional, made sure the dinner and toasts ran on time, and, well, probably a lot of other things, but we didn't notice because she did it all flawlessly in the background. We are so appreciative for everything she did to make our wedding magical.

Our guests could not stop raving about how incredible our wedding was, and I cannot stress enough how little we actually did to make that happen; all we did was book the Perry House and let the staff do its work. The elegant space, the full-service bar, the ocean view from the terrace, the exceptional food...the Perry House delivered beyond our wildest dreams, and we would recommend it to anyone planning their wedding around the Monterey Bay.

We just had our wedding here, and it was the talk of the weekend! Everyone was obsessed with the venue and food. The views here are absolutely breathtaking. Everyone said this was the best venue they'd ever been to. All the team members were fantastic and Frankie made the planning so easy! This was the only venue we looked at, and were obsessed from the beginning. If you're on the fence, DEFINITELY book it.

I could write a full 10-page, MLA-cited essay on why this venue is so amazing and why you should promptly sign a contract with them. But I'll try and edit myself down to a reasonable length.

My experience with Perry House and the Events by Classic team was wonderful from the start. My husband and I fell in love with the beautiful, romantic, vintage Victorian home with the view of the Monterey Bay, easy to find and located in a convenient spot with lots of accommodations around for our out-of-town guests. They advertised a service that included so much - the two biggest pluses being in-house catering (so you can trust the caterers know the kitchen and layout) and venue event manager who would help you the day of coordinate your vendors, your timeline, and help you with things like setting out your decor. I had debated hiring a day of coordinator or wedding planner, but between Perry House's detail-oriented service and my type A personality, there was no need and the day went so smoothly.

Some people say wedding planning is a second full-time job. I did not find that to be the case. Working with Amanda to book the venue, and then Frankie who transitioned onto our team as the event manager, I felt confident in trusting them. Every question I had (and I had a lot), Frankie and Amanda answered quickly and thoroughly. Every last-minute change and request I had, they took in stride. Their expertise and experience working on many weddings is really evident. Every couple deserves to have Amanda and Frankie on their side!

Several of the vendors we reached out to commented on Perry House and how lovely it is to work there. We had to do minimal coordination between all the teams, partly because many of them had worked at Perry House before.

The wedding day goes by in a blur. But it was an incredibly pleasant, stress-free blur for me. Showing up after dragging sticks and leaves in my wedding dress from our first look to the dressing room only to see a platter of cheese and crackers and champagne and orange juice laid out as a thoughtful touch from the venue almost made me cry. The ceremony went perfectly (no anxiety since we had a quick and thorough walk-through with Frankie the day before), cocktail hour was fantastic - everywhere I looked I saw a server either passing out appetizers or cleaning up, a drink in everyone's hand. Everything was as delicious as I'd remembered from the tasting, which was good, because we'd been hyping up the fried artichokes to our friends for about 6 months.

We went with the chef's station option for dinner. (A side rave: the level of customization for dinner from the options on the brochure that they offered was next level.) My partner and I were able to enjoy a quiet moment and actually eat, thanks to the servers who brought us full plates and his-and-her cocktails. All night long we received compliments about the food - everyone had different favorites, but the vegetarian pasta options seemed to be a popular hit! The dessert station was perfect (I think my photographer has 10 photos of me shoving tarts in my face, what can you do) but the best part was our late night PIZZA: thank you to the captain of our pizza ship, David, payroll manager by day, pizza hero by night! A late-night snack was an absolute hit with our guests, highly recommend!

I've been at weddings where you wait the entire cocktail hour for a drink, and that was not the case at our wedding. Thank you to our wonderful bartender (also named David?? I'm now worried the whiskey sours got to my head) who served us professionally and courteously. Nobody was overserved or underserved, and we are so grateful.

At the end of the night, my mom was able to sweep up the decorations and flowers so thoughtfully set aside by Frankie, my brother picked up the cake, and we walked away from Perry House with stomachs and hearts full. Stress-free and so painless.

I need to make a separate paragraph for how grateful I am for Frankie - she was the star of the show. She was everywhere all at once. She reminded me that I had a reception dress to change into. I saw her check in with our vendors. Her eye for decor made it so easy for us to simply pass along our box of decorations and trust her. I cannot emphasize how much Frankie did for us that wedding. It wouldn't have been the same without her and her team - I know I would have stressed the entire night, worrying about hosting the party. The night of, I was able to relax and enjoy myself, and feel like I was just a guest at the party instead of the host. What a testament to the service we received from the whole team for me to say that!

This is my very long-winded love letter to everyone that helped make our wedding day perfect. I will sing your praises for the rest of my days. Looking at wedding photos and seeing the beautiful venue and remembering the special day is such a joy. This venue and their team are worth 10 times what they charge. So do yourself a favor and reach out to them and see for yourself how this beautiful venue and the special people that work there can make your dreams come true!
