I can not say enough nice things about The Perry House, and the staff, and especially Mary Lisa. I planned my wedding from Washington and so I needed someone who would handle all the details and make sure my wedding day was perfect. She responded immediately to phone calls, emails, and even did phone conferences with my maid of honor and me. I didn't have to worry about any logistics like set up, clean up, keeping the flow of the day going, passing of food, everything ran smoothly and it was all handled by the staff.

On top of great service, the location is beautiful! You really don't need to add decoration to the venue since the place is designed to be beautiful for weddings. Lots of other venues you have to add so much to make it look like it's not just a conference room or a big blank room and that is not the case here.
We just love The Perry House, and we're so glad it's where we got married!

Highly Recommend This Venue
My now-husband and I were trying to find the perfect place to hold our reception in Monterey when we stumbled upon The Perry House. We immediately felt comfortable and welcomed when we met with the wedding planner and staff and as soon as we toured the venue, we knew that it matched our quirky, laid-back style. Everyone on staff was great to work with, and the food was absolutely amazing!

Fabulous Wedding at Perry House
My daughter and groom picked out Perry House out of many options, and we all just couldn't be happier. Everything was perfect. The venue, with it's beautiful garden area for the ceremony and the dinner, the enchanting House itself, with its charming rooms, and the staff and food were all incredible. Our Event Manager, Amanda, was patient with us throughout the process, and so helpful right till the end. Since the bride and groom live in SF, and I am out of state and only actually came to the venue once, before the wedding, it was such a relief to have Amanda help with so many of the details.

We decorated the beautiful Arbor, that is on site, for the Chupa, and they chose to later hang a delicate chandelier over their table, under the chupa, and it was enchanting.
We served numerous hors d'oeuvres, passed and stationery, and then had a grill station for the salmon, and even used their on site pizza oven for one of the courses. The food was fabulous! And we even had our Rehearsal Dinner at the Gatherings, also owed by the same owner, and felt just as satisfied with that as well!

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!
