The Perry House (A Magical Space)

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.

Perfect Venue. Amazing Food

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 perfect venue for our mid-size wedding

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Perry-Downer House is my new favorite venue. The renovation of this historic property was done with some much love--it shows in every detail. The easy floorplan and sweeping views are just two of the wonderful things I love about the Perry House. The food, the location and the people are all assets and I don't think that you can find a better venue for the price. I love the Perry-Downer House!
