There may not be words strong enough to accurately convey just how amazingly wonderful Perona Farms is. My husband and I chose the Refinery to get married in at the beginning of October. From the moment we stepped inside the property, I immediately knew this was it. Every single detail is gorgeous, and every interaction with staff was so positive and warm. We were lucky enough to have Tammi give us our initial tour and we instantly clicked. Her energy is so welcoming, calming and confident. Tammi would become our event coordinator, where she truly went above and beyond for us in every way. Wedding planning is hard, but every piece of it involving the venue was made so easy for us. Myself and my family have many food allergies, which I was worried about when planning my own wedding because I often attend events with little for me to eat or staff who are not knowledgeable about the ingredients. Tammi had separate conversations with the kitchen for us, ensured that everything during cocktail hour was labeled, and arranged alternative meals for us ahead of time. This amount of care and attention meant so much to me. Kenzie was equally amazing as our ceremony coordinator. I was so nervous the day before the wedding, but she was able to calm my nerves and walk us through everything we needed to know to feel at peace. It rained almost our entire wedding day, but Kenzie made sure that we were able to get to all the areas of the property we wanted to take pictures at during a brief break in the weather. She went as far as arranging a clear garbage bag under my dress' train to protect it from the wet ground and rearranging indoor spaces to look like we were outside when the rain started again. I could go on and on, but truly all of the staff members were lovely, competent, and seemed to genuinely find joy in what they do. Everyone at this venue knows exactly how to make you feel special and cared for. We could not be more grateful for everyone involved, and so happy that we decided to move forward with this venue. Worth every single penny!

Bob, Meg and John are a great team. They accommodated multiple date changes through the pandemic and freely honored everything from the original contract. They are super responsive to any questions and so calming and kind. The venue itself is lovely. The outside area is beautifully landscaped, hosts a meandering stream and is located in a charming area. The building itself has a lower level for the cocktail hour and an upper dining room with a balcony overlooking the grounds. The upper bar is beautiful and leads to a front patio/porch that has fire pits surrounded by outdoor sofas. Guests had lots of places to be and still be a part of the action. I was concerned about the levels and stairs but they have ramps hidden in service areas to accommodate guests’ needs. Bob and the all the service staff cheerfully anticipated our needs and those of our guests. He felt like family. And even joined us for a dance! LOVE HIM! April Martorano- MOB

I can’t say how happy we are with choosing Darren and his team to host our wedding. Everyone complemented the food, the overall idea of the place. The wood beams give the best character to the place, everything its original and simply beautiful. The first time I saw the venue I truly felt in love and instantly knew that this is where I want my friends and family celebrate with. My photographer was so impressed and had so many ideas for our beautiful photos. Staff was so nice and friendly, very sweet team of people. Thank you again for fulfilling my dream.

I had my wedding there August 2020, and the owners made this planning process go smoothly and seamlessly. It was perfect and beautiful from start to finish, and all my guests raved about it. It was truly a rustic fairytale!

Wow!!! When I first visited this venue, I knew something was so different about it. Every little detail was perfection and so well thought out. The team at The Farm truly curates your vision and are extremely flexible. When working with The Farm, you don't feel like just a number- they made this experience truly personalized to us and our vision. The team as a whole is unbelievable- kind and willing to help in any way that they can. From the highland cows, to the food, to the beautiful aesthetic of the farm, it surpassed anything we could have imagined. It feels like a home away from home- I can't wait to come back for their Farm to Table dinners and their market, just to be back where it all started. Can't recommend The Farm enough, it's truly magic.

It all started when I came across a blurry image of a lavender field on Google images as I was searching for a unique local wedding venue in NJ. Monica was just the sweetest to talk to over email and I had to go visit her property to see it in all it's glory for myself. We immediately fell in love with the farm and sweet scent in the air as soon as we walked up and felt like we teleported to a small village in the outskirts of France. More importantly, we fell even more in love with the lovely couple and owners of the farm, Monica and Jim. Especially after they told us that they had built everything on their property themselves, we were truly amazed and it is evident how much work and love they'd put in to their farm. Every corner you turn to is a special picturesque photo opportunity. We set our date with Monica during our first visit almost a year ago. From then, we were in constant communication with Monica throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding. They had hopes and just started the process of building an open air pavilion for future wedding receptions to be held there. Although, there was no guarantee that this would be completed in time for our wedding, Monica and Jim went above and beyond to do everything they could to have it ready by then. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and the stars truly aligned, with the completion of the pavilion and the gorgeous weather for an outdoor wedding. Monica is just the most wonderful person to work with and her and Jim are genuinely the kindest people we've met. Finding the perfect wedding venue is important to us and we are so glad we met and have gotten to know Monica and Jim. We absolutely love them and any couple would be lucky to work with them! The love and pride in their work in so very evident everywhere you look on their property. They have truly created their own magical world here and we are so lucky to be able to have our wedding on their farm. Thank you for the absolute best experience and wedding day!!!
