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!

A Fairy Tail
The Perry House was the first and only venue we went too. We instantly fell in love with the place and the staff. The staff were incredibly professional and extremely supportive of us every step of the way. Our wedding coordinator Nicolle, was my favorite part of the day. Nicolle stepped up to the plate and made our day run extremely smoothly. Did I mention how good the food was?! Shane and I were very worried about the food, as a lot of our guests (including ourselves) are “foodies”. We were SOOOO impressed with the food! Our guests could not stop raving about the food, staff, and the venue in general. At the end of the night, I left with a complete piece of mind because of all the amazing work Nicolle and the staff did. This place was a true fairy tail and I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Highly recommend!
The Perry House's reply:
Thank you so much, Jordin, for such a generous and sweet review. Your wedding was spectacular, and I was honored to be a part of it. Seeing your family and friends come together to celebrate you and Shane was so sweet to see. Our team couldn’t stop talking about how amazing you were to work with, and all your vendors said the same thing. The Events by Classic Group Team wishes you a great future of love and laughter. ~ Nicolle

The best in the area!!
We had our dream wedding for 50 people at the Perry House, and we couldn’t have been happier with everything! From the prime location to the delicious food, our wedding was perfect in every way. And thanks to our wedding coordinator, Francesca, planning everything was a breeze! She met with us a few times before the wedding weekend, and she was always organized and really helped us out when we didn’t know where to start. We couldn’t imagine doing this all without her assistance! The day before, she helped unload all of the decor and got the families organized for the rehearsal… not an easy feat as the father of the bride tends to be social and easily distracted! The day of, she had all the decor set up before I (the bride) arrived, which made me so excited for the ceremony and reception. During the event, it was like she was the conductor of this beautiful orchestra, and everything went smoothly. Francesca remembered things that we were too busy and distracted to remember, and she was always one step ahead of us. She was the definition of anticipatory service, as she was always there before we knew we needed assistance.
The catering staff were excellent as well, and everyone was so friendly! We never went hungry or thirsty, as the appetizers came around often and the bartenders were fast as can be! AND THE FOOD— the number one thing our guests still talk about! Everything was excellent!! Kudos to the cooks!
Overall, we couldn’t be more grateful to have chosen the Perry House for our wedding. Not only is it one of the most beautiful venues in the area, the staff and catering really made our day so special. Thank you Perry House!!

Kristen, thank you so much for your kind words and amazing review. It was such an honor to assist you with your big day! You and your family are very welcoming and made me feel part of the family from the start. You really made the space yours and placed your special touches everywhere and I am still thinking about how amazing your first dance song was.

Amazing venue + food
I cannot begin to explain how beautiful this venue is! Ours was an Indian French wedding and perry house exactly understood how to bring this fusion vision to life. The venue is perfect for intimate weddings where you want your guests to mingle with others and not be stuck to one table. The food!! Can't begin to explain how talented the chef is! We wanted Indian + French food and what a fusion it was. Our coordinator Charlene was rockstar! She just made everything happen. Highly recommend this place!

Dream Wedding Venue
After getting engaged I knew I needed to do a lot of research and try to secure a wedding venue as soon as possible. After finding The Perry House I knew this was my dream venue. The location, the house, the outdoor space, the VIEWS - this was it!
My event coordinator, Susan, was very responsive and helpful from day one. Being a COVID bride meant dealing with a lot of unknowns and lots of changes in rules/restrictions. I'm so grateful that we were able to keep our original wedding date and that things went so smoothly and turned out to be the best day ever.
The hardest decisions to make were which food items to choose, as they were all so delicious! We ended up going with the tri tip and chicken roulade plated options and everyone complimented how good the food was! It was also nice that they also offered some vegan substitutes for some of our vegan guests!
Can't say enough good things about the most magical and wonderful day of my life - it wouldn't have been possible without the help from Susan and the rest of the staff at The Perry House and Events By Classic!

Perfect match
I am not a huge wedding person, so when I got engaged I was very overwhelmed by all of the decisions that needed to be made and details to plan out. When I found the Perry House, I knew I had found the right place. Rosie was amazing at responding to emails and setting up a tour, and made the process easy throughout. We lived out of town and she was very flexible with food tasting, venue tour, and dealing with a whole bunch of my family members! The food was amazing, and I am still getting compliments regarding the set up and food. Outdoor and indoor spaces available to all guests so everyone was comfortable, and upstairs bridal suite was beautiful for pictures. Really nothing bad to say about this venue! highly recommend!
The Perry House's reply:
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with The Perry House. It was our pleasure making the planning process as seamless as possible for you! We are also thrilled that everyone enjoyed the food & service. Thank you again Melissa, congratulations on tying the knot and we wish you many years of happiness. ~ Rosie and Team

Simply stunning
We pulled it off! When we started planning our wedding almost one year ago we thought we had found our dream venue to host our 120 guests for a night to remember. As anyone reading this will know as 2020 progressed we became more and more familiar with living in a pandemic and the challenges that can provide. Once it became clear that there was no way we could host our wedding as we had originally intended; our event coordinator Amanda from the events by classic group could not have been more helpful providing us with options. She of course offered us a 2021 date should we choose to postpone, but instead we chose a different option she presented to us that would both make our guests feel safe to attend and satisfy our needs of a special day to remember. We held our ceremony at The Perry House followed by a small dinner reception in the beautiful courtyard at their sister venue the barns at cooper molera.
The perry house is such a beautiful location for a ceremony and I’m sure the reception there would have been great as well if we chose not to go to the barns. It was impossible for me not to shed a tear as my bride began her walk down the perry houses’s staircase.
Everything turned out so beautiful, and we all had such a wonderful time. The food and drinks provided by the events by classic group were stellar, and I could not speak any higher praises of Amanda, our event coordinator. She kept everything on schedule and really brought our dreams to life. If you, like we were, are on the fence about having a wedding in a covid world I hope my words help you find comfort in knowing that you will be well taken care of by the events by classic team at the barns or any of their other venues.

Beautiful location, perfect day
We are so happy that we had our wedding at the Perry House!
When we visited, we were impressed by the venue’s location and how nice the space already looked, without any extra decorations (a huge plus). And as the planning process moved along, our event planner Amanda made us feel like we were in excellent hands.
The PH put together a delicious menu that accommodated the various dietary restrictions we had (vegetarian bride, guest with gluten allergy, nut allergies, shellfish allergies…). We had multiple people tell us after the fact how tasty the food was. (Which we can confirm, because the PH staff made sure we got our food first, and actually got to sit down and eat!)
One of the other reasons we chose PH was the flexibility of the space. We didn’t need to worry about having too many (or too few) people RSVP “yes”, as the PH could accommodate up to twice our expected party size. We ended up with 68 guests which felt like a comfortable amount for the space.
The many different “spaces” throughout the venue were also very appealing to us-- we wanted to make sure that people who wanted to talk and catch up could do so without having to shout over the music, and the people who wanted to dance all night could do that too.
Overall, we are incredibly pleased with our decision to go with the PH, and that Amanda was there to walk us through the process. Thanks to everyone on staff at our event for making our wedding day perfect!

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 House's reply:
Thank you, Sandi, for the lovely review. We really appreciate your taking the time to share your experience at The Perry House! You were so nice to help Shara & Frank plan their big day; they are lucky to have you :). Thank you for trusting us with the most important day of your daughter's life! We wish you all the best. ~ Amanda & Team

Simply Outstanding
My wife and I had been searching several venues that would bring to life the experience we wanted to share with our families and friends. Not one compared to the welcoming, personal, and dedicated Perry House team. We felt they took the time to share in a discussion to build a memorable night. It made the planning process enjoyable and the results were amazing. We highly recommend this team and other vendors that worked with us to anyone wishing to enjoy the prelude to their happily ever after.

The Perry House beyond exceeded our expectations!
My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Perry House July 2018 and I honestly can’t say enough good things about it. The whole day felt like it was a dream and not our actual wedding! We planned the wedding from Omaha while in professional/graduate school and Susan made everything as easy as can be. Every single detail was covered, and then some! The food was phenomenal- our guests are still raving about the food! My parents tried to recreate our wedding meal at home because it was so divine. We have so many nieces and nephews and the kids had an absolute blast. The kids meals were also to die for. One of my nephews is a very picky eater and it was the sweetest thing seeing one of the servers ask him if there’s anything at all she can get for him that he would like better than his meal. Their attention to detail cannot be matched. They work so well together and we’re BEYOND accommodating. Everything came together without a hitch. Every tiny detail was perfectly set up like a fairytale when we arrived after the ceremony which was offsite. Both of our families are still raving about it saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. I’m biased, but I agree! Thank you, to everyone at The Perry House, and especially Susan for giving us the best memories in the world!! We couldn’t say one negative thing about them if we tried. It was worth every penny to have our wedding at The Perry House!
The Perry House's reply:
We were so happy to hear of your experience at The Perry House and thankful that you shared it on Wedding Wire!
We strive to exceed our clients expectations so this is exciting to know that we did! You made the venue look extra special with the specialty rentals we arranged for you.
We love when we get to enhance the venue with our client’s personal tastes.
Thank you again and we wish you many happy days and years together!

Perfect Venue for the Easy Going Bride
The Perry House is already stunning so no need to fuss over decor. The staff is extremely helpful, selecting our food was a fun experience and overall using the Perry House made everything so easy for me (the bride) I wouldn't think twice about recommending - use them! Guests had space to roam yet it felt intimate. The two bars made it so there was never a line. I originally thought the dance floor was a little small but once everyone was in there and the DJ was going there was more than enough room for everyone to shimmy the night away.

The Perry House was an absolutely amazing place to have a wedding. We worked with Rosie and she responded to emails quickly and answered all my questions. My wedding ended up being 78 people and the Perry House was the perfect setting for this number of people. The venue is absolutely beautiful. We had our wedding in April and lucked out with a beautiful sunny day. We used space heaters at night, but everyone was very comfortable. The FOOD is SO GOOD!!. My friends and family always have known me for my LOVE of pizza and they offer that as well as many other options! Everyone that I spoke to after the wedding raved about the food and the quality of service they received from the staff. In addition, this place has beautiful views!! I could not have been happier with our experience at the Perry House. This was a destination wedding for me and all of my guests and the Perry House had a list of recommended vendors that I could use and really made this experience easy, which is greatly appreciated when you are planning from far away!! Thank you to everyone at the Perry House!

perfect location, staff, food, views & day!
My fiancé and I had originally booked another venue for our wedding but had scheduled a tasting for our food at the Perry House. Right after walking in, we fell in love. The entire venue is so charming and we knew it would be perfect for our guests. The view of the bay from the balcony is the cherry on top! Well, we actually ended up switching our venue to the Perry House and it was the best decision we made in the planning process. We are from the midwest so it was a destination wedding for us and Rosie was incredible throughout the whole process- kindly answering all of my (many) emails, working with me on food allergies for our guests, decor suggestions, ETC. We were treated amazingly and they were so accommodating. We also worked with Beverly who coordinated all of our ceremony and a million other little things and we were so impressed by her as well! Every single staff member at the Perry House is so kind, professional and made our experience so amazing. Coming in from out of town, they helped me so much in setting up all of my decor and so much more, I can't imagine what I would have done if they hadn't been so helpful. It's been over a week and we are still receiving compliments on how great all of the staff was, and that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Our signature drinks were a huuuge hit as well! My fiancé and I work in the wedding industry so we have seen it all and I can truly say that this was the best service we've seen at a venue! It was the best day ever and it wouldn't have been possible without them. We couldn't recommend the Perry House more.

The Perry House literally made everything so incredibly easy! I started working with Hana, and about halfway until my wedding she actually moved, and I was given to a new coordinator, Victoria. Initially, I was a little worried, but I had absolutely no need to be! Victoria was amazingly communicative, and made our wedding planning process so easy! Patricia was our captain the day of the wedding, and she was so incredibly accommodating--she even made sure to hunt us down while we were taking pictures, and brought us snacks! I could not have had a better experience on our wedding day! I highly recommend everything about the Perry House--they were fantastic!

I cannot express how highly I recommend The Perry House!!! I first visited the Perry House when I worked for an event company in Monterey. I fell in love with the charm of it instantly, as well as its view of the bay. Working with the owners and staff was always enjoyable, and their food is incredible! When it was my turn to get married, my husband and I both wanted to have our wedding there. However, the number of people it holds, and the number of guests our families wanted us to invite did not match up. After deciding on a larger venue closer to our hometown in Sacramento, our guest count shrank, and mother nature struck! A wildfire broke out a couple of miles from our venue the week of our wedding. I contacted The Perry House to see if there was any chance they could host us, if the fire moved closer to the venue. Not only did they provide me with incredible service, they had a proposal to me by the end of day and had even done what they could to meet my original budget! Luckily, the fire was put out in time and I was able to go with Plan A. However, I am sure I would have been pleased with my wedding, had it been at The Perry House! Thank you Perry House and team! You really helped calm my nerves during a stressful time!

We had our wedding on 10/21/17 at the Perry House. It was the perfect venue. I knew the first time we visited that it was my dream venue. The house is a gorgeous spot for a party, with beautiful balconies, a view of the ocean, and big beautiful rooms inside. The string lights and outdoor fireplace at night made it feel so cozy and warm. I love all the different "nooks" and hangout areas at the venue. We planned the wedding to be 6 months after the arrival of our baby so we knew we'd have our hands full and wanted a "one stop shop" venue that would handle food, alcohol, servers, linens, etc. I didn't want to deal with small details and, thankfully, I didn't have to!
As for the staff: Susan (our designated planner/captain) was a pleasure to work with, all along. She answered millions of random questions from me. The staff was awesome at the wedding. They kept magically appearing next to me and offering me a drink, apps, or a plate of food.
As for decor: I fretted a lot about whether to do flowers or other special centerpieces and ultimately decided not to. We used the Perry House's standard/default (free) centerpieces and put the bridesmaids' bouquets in them. Other than that and the string lights, we had ZERO decorations. And it was perfect! I wish (in hindsight) I hadn't worried about it so much. You really don't need to worry about decorations at a place like this.
Food: we did the "City Lights" roaming dinner option (with grill station and pasta station). Everyone raved about the food. It was plentiful and delicious. We had many vegetarians and they were all happy.
Our wedding was perfect. Everything went smoothly. I loved every minute of it and attribute that largely to the Perry House and its staff. I would VERY HAPPILY do it all again.

We LOVED The Perry House! From the initial question and answer phase before signing our contract all the way through our wedding day, The Perry House venue and staff exceeded our expectations. The venue? Historic, intimate, and charming (you don't even need many decorations because of the charm and already present plants/flowers). The food? Delicious! The drinks? Scrumptious (the bartenders even made our signature drink from a recipe we provided!). The staff? Professional, responsive, and caring. My new wife and I would be remiss if we did not also give a huge shout-out to Richard, the coordinator assigned to us. He was amazing-- his professionalism, organization, coordination, hard work, creativity, and easy-going nature! Our wedding day at The Perry House was magical! Richard and his team worked flawlessly to make sure our big day was so special and stress-free. All of our guests keep commenting on how wonderful the wedding day was, in large part because of how amazing The Perry House venue and team was! Stop looking and book this venue...you will not regret it! P.S. We had several guests with food allergies, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our guests' needs (for example, making extra gluten-free appetizers, preparing an entire separate entree on the spot, etc).

We absolutely loved the Perry House! We just got married last weekend and we had to write a review before jetting off to the honeymoon.
The Perry House was a dream wedding spot. Let me enumerate the ways in which it is perfect... The house itself is beautiful and it is nearby the wharf, which makes for stunning sunset shots. I walked down the staircase and it made for such a special entrance. The backyard feels intimate and personal and was transformed into a beautiful reception area, including a sweetheart table underneath a flower-laden arch. Then, we had dancing in the captain's room. Everyone was already standing to watch the first dance, so we had tons of dancing right from the get-go. The guests made great use of the house-- exploring the outdoor area with the fire pit and going upstairs. We thought it was a great size for our 105 guests-- full of fun but not cramped. We used their tv screen to play a slideshow of our baby photos. The food was delicious!!! And Richard was so easy to work with. My husband and I are both phd students, so we didn't have much time to plan, but Richard was extremely responsive and always willing to work with us when we could find time which really streamlined the planning process. Overall, the experience was unique because it was both intimate and vast due to the variety of what the Perry House had to offer.

This venue is perfection! We started planning over a year out and this was the first and ONLY venue we looked at. From beginning to end, every part was smooth and stress free. The location is beautiful and the three leveled building allows for more exploration versus a standard hall or ballroom which really took the cake. The food was the best food I've ever had and guests were very surprised by all the flavor! Every person from vegetarians to meat eaters were delighted with the varying selections and kept getting up for more. The chef-manned stations were new to most of our guests and added to the entire experience. The staff made sure that my husband and I ate and always had a drink on hand. They constantly checked in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Set up and break down was speedy and stress free to us. There were many stories told to us later of hiccups throughout the night and how the staff handled them so quickly and smoothly. We couldn't be more happy with our experience. Thank you to the entire staff!
--I would add photos but they are too big to add. Sorry!

Our wedding at The Perry House was everything we wanted it to be. The venue is beautiful and classy, and was really an ideal setting for our garden brunch wedding. We held both the ceremony and reception on site and the day was perfect. The staff at The Perry House, including our coordinator Susan, were very helpful and responsive throughout the planning process. The day was executed beautifully (and they even ordered perfect weather). The quality of food was great, and there were so many compliments from our guests. The value for the location was very good - and there were lots of options to make things work within various budgets. Highly recommend!
The Perry House's reply:
Thank you so much Amanda for sharing your experience with the Perry House!
So glad it was a perfect day and we wish you many more perfect days in the coming years!!
