    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.

    The Perry House's reply:

    Hi Taylor and Anna,

    We loved working with you two on the details for your big day – all the way down to the hand drawn images of the tablescapes you designed. Your family and friends were so fun to work with executing your vision the day of the wedding and I’m glad to know you two had a great time celebrating with your family and friends at The Perry House. (I agree the raviolis are delicious!)
    We wish you both all the love and happiness in the world!

    All the best,
    Charlene and the Events by Classic Group Team

    Absolutely AMAZING venue

    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.

    In AWE of their hard work!

    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!

    The Perry House's reply:

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I am so happy to hear you and your husband had such a great stress-free time. You two were great to work with and I'm truly honored to be a small part of your big day. From all of us at The Perry House/Events by Classic Team, we wish you the best of luck. Congratulations to you and your family! Love, Frankie.

    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!!

    The Perry House's reply:

    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. From the whole Events by Classic team, we wish you the very best. ~ Francesca (Frankie).

    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!

    The dream wedding

    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.

    The Perry House's reply:

    Thank you for the amazing review! Love the photos and cannot wait to see the rest. We understand that planning a wedding during a pandemic is extremely challenging. We truly appreciate your and Nikki’s resilience and flexibility, and the day was simply beautiful with two beautiful & different backdrops! Congratulations, wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

    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.

    There are not enough words to describe the amazing experience we had with the Perry House and the entire staff! From the first meeting with the owner Jim, to the brilliant ideas ands resources of the wedding planner. Erin Wareham is the best thing to happen to me while planning this wedding and I could have not have asked for a kinder, more creative or more helpful person to make my day special. For the day of, we had Patricia and another lovely girl whose name I am forgetting who made sure we were happy, that we ate, and that took our ideas and made them come to life!

    Let me tell you also about the food. It was amazing! We did the strolling seating, which I was initially nervous about, but worked out perfectly! We had amazing appetizers and the stations were enjoyed by all! We personally had Mac and cheese, grill, and pizza stations. Just before the wedding date, they even asked us for counts for vegetarians, vegans and people who are gluten free or have allergies so they could accommodate them.

    Bring in a different state, the Perry House made it so easy and took a lot of stress off of me. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get married in the Monterey area. There is a reason they are ranked number one for locations to get married in for Monterey!

    I had a strong hunch from reading reviews online that The Perry House was the venue was for us. After touring the venue in person, my now husband and I both knew for certain that this was the only location Monterey we would be happy celebrating our wedding day.
    We were blown away by the level of service provided at The Perry House by our Peace of Mind Coordinator, Richard Wood, and all of the staff of the venue.
    On the actual wedding day I didn't feel a single bit of stress, and as a bride I think that is a pretty amazing feat.
    The atmosphere of this venue was perfect for us because it is vintage and elegant, but warm and comfortable with the flexibility to bring in our style.
    The 3 levels of the house where guests could overlook the ocean, The Carriage House with the BEAUTIFUL stained glass ceiling, the dance floor, the bridal sweet, the views of the Monterey Bay, the garden area for our reception in the late afternoon... The hitchin' truly went off without a hitch. It was all so lovely.
    As I mentioned, the other great thing about this wedding venue is that you can really transform it with flowers and decor to make it feel like your own. Left without a single decoration the property is gorgeous, but then a couple can bring in their colors and vision with flowers and personal touches to make awesome.
    This really was the perfect venue for us. The food was great, as we had The City Lights Package with chef-manned stations so guests could mingle and roam and sit wherever they felt best during the dinner. The staff was stellar, the food was great, the venue was beautiful - what more could you ask for?
    As a bride I super encourage investing in the very reasonable option to have the Peace of Mind Coordinator. As I mentioned, Mr. Wood was our go-to man for everything on our wedding day. He was so kind and helpful. On the wedding day he was there and took care of everything for us. All we had to do was enjoy and celebrate. It was a fantastic experience.

    My husband and I were married at the Perry House on Nov. 30, 2013. We cannot think of a single negative thing to say about our experience with this company and its employees...it was truly fabulous from beginning to end. From our initial inquiry email in February to the Wedding Day in November, we had nothing but positive interactions with every member of their staff. Every single person we spoke with, emailed, and met is professional, organized, friendly, responsive and wiling to go the extra mile to meet the bride and groom's expectations.

    The venue is absolutely beautiful; not to mention clean, well-maintained and conducive to entertaining large groups. The food is delicious, the bar is well-stocked, the setting is lovely, the view is to-die-for and the parking is sufficient. The Bridal Suite is beautiful as well. Also, since The Perry House has such a well-respected position within the community, they have great connections with other wedding vendors and we found this really helped in our planning process. What more could you want for your wedding day??

    The company provides each bride and groom with their own wedding coordinator and we were honored to work with Jana. She was friendly, professional, and extremely organized. Her checklists made me feel like I could hand over control to the venue and their team without any worries. I was right! The Day Of went flawlessly ( as far as I know) and every single request was catered to immediately.

    The prices are beyond reasonable for what you get and the location and views at the venue truly cannot be beat. One of my guests has attended 50+ weddings in her life, and she assured me that our wedding at The Perry House was truly the most beautiful, well-run wedding she has ever been to. Please consider The Perry House for your wedding in Monterey, you will be glad you did!! :)

    Thank you to Jana and all of the staff, you created an amazing experience for us!
    xoxo, Laura and Ryland Drennan

    I had my wedding at the perry house on 7/7/2013. Mary Lisa was my event manager and peace of mind coordinator for my special day. She was so easy to work with, flexible, helpful, responsive, and patient throughout the whole process from the beginning and especially the end. She really went out of her way to help make my dream wedding a reality.

    The perry house itself is a very special place to my now husband and I. We discovered this gem while we were living in Monterey as we just lived literally across the street from the venue. On weekends, we saw how the the beautiful historic victorian house can turn into a magnificent venue. The property glows as the day turns into night with a silhouette of twinkling lights, music, wonderful aromas for their excellent menu selection, and the sound of family friends celebrating special occasions.

    The catering staff is also top notch, from the waiting staff, cooks, bartenders, event manager, on-site captain, and the owner. You can tell that the staff that they hire are the creme-de-la-creme of the renowned restaurant/hospitality of the Monterey peninsula. They took care of our guests at the wedding efficiently and with warm sincere smiles. My friends have told me that every request they had was attended right away, hassle-free. Oh, and the food...I consider myself to be gastronomically competent. They're food is truly amazing, 5-stars. If it were an option, I would choose to dine at the Perry House over even the best restaurants in Northern California. Their hors d'oeuvre, from presentation to the taste, blows most restaurants even in the renowned Carmel and Pebble Beach out of the water. My family and friends were extremely delighted with the menu and the attentive from the Perry House.

    We also chose to have our ceremony at the Perry House. The garden is beautiful, even without any decorations. The bridal suite is great for pictures.

    This venue is classically beautiful, elegant, and fabulous.

    After months of searching for a venue, we found The Perry House. This place is beautiful and the house itself is so charming. I love the victorian look to this house and the view from this place is amazing! Girls, the bridal room is to die for! It is so cute and I was so excited to get ready there. Richard and Mary Lisa were great to work with and they both met our expectations as our day of coordinator. Richard was able to put my mind at ease during the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. Throughout the whole process they will be there for you answering any questions or concerns. I will definitely be recommending this venue to anyone looking in getting married in Monterey.

    Before I even visited the Perry House I already knew this would be the place where I would have the wedding I always dreamed of. The Perry House is the most beautiful, unique wedding venue on the Peninsula. From the moment I initially made contact with the staff at Events By Classic, I knew I was in great hands. When I finally saw the Perry House in person, I was completely blown away. It has such a quaint, elegant and romantic feel. The view from the upper balcony is stunning, with views spanning over the entire Monterey Harbor and all the way to Moss Landing, making for great photo opportunities and a good spot for guests to mingle during the cocktail hour. We did the roaming butler passed reception which all our guests loved. They were free to meander around the house and gardens, sit around the fire pit and cocktail tables while the food came to them. And of course, the food was incredible. Our wedding included a delicious martini salad, stuffed mushrooms, pear and Gorgonzola pizza (baked in their outside pizza oven), ahi tuna skewers, skirt steak, and butternut squash ravioli. I knew I wanted around 80 people at my wedding, and this was the perfect spot, accommodating up to around 120 ppl I believe. My guests called it the "perfect" wedding and can't stop talking about the location, food, and staff.

    Jana, my main contact throughout the entire planning process was absolutely amazing. She is the sweetest person ever, and was so helpfu every step of the way. I could not have not asked for a better event coordinator! And Jennifer, the event captain took wonderful care of my husband and I, even going out of her way to make sure we ate and tried all the food during the reception.
    Not only did the staff take care of the reception, but they also put together my ceremony at Berwick Park in Pacific Grove. They set up everything- chairs, the wooden arch and a table with lemon water for guests. It was beautiful, and I cannot thank this lovely staff enoug

    Where do I begin? I have never seen a wedding executed so perfectly! When we were looking at venues, we came across the Perry house and fell in love with it immediately. It had a completely unique feel to it and the views were spectacular. It was a bit out of our budget so they invited us to a tasting before committing. The food and presentation were AMAZING and we were sold instantly.
    We worked with Alicia and we were so lucky to have her as our event coordinator. She was such a dream to work with. We did a lot of our decorations ourselves and she took care of setting up everything including our ceremony items and centerpieces. What she did for us FAR exceeded our expectations. She was on top of everything, incredibly organized and so supportive. She made everything seamless and beautiful.
    Patricia, the banquet captain, was so helpful and made sure everything was taken care of. The staff at the Perry House was also incredible. The wait staff and bartenders were very attentive, professional and made my guests feel like VIP. My father was impressed with how detailed the staff was with even the silverware setup. Everything was placed perfectly and very clean. I had a guest with a severe peanut allergy and let Alicia know ahead of time what his needs were and the staff went out of their way to accommodate him. For the first time in five years, he actually ate the food he was served at an event and survived! He was so impressed with how well the staff took care of him.
    The food was unbelievable! We chose the interactive stations and everyone loved it! It was very fresh and delicious! The menu offers many unique options that set it apart from other venues.
    I had several of my guests tell us that that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The staff and venue were the reason for that. Events By Classics and the Perry House staff were flawless. I am so grateful to them for how perfect our wedding day was. We are so lucky we found this place!

    I just recently had my wedding at The Perry House and it was amazing!! The staff was wonder and the venue was perfect! We used the adorable bridal room to get ready and it was perfect for pictures. Also, I really liked that my guests could roam around the entire house. The owners did a fantastic job restoring this old historic mansion! Events by Classic have mastered the art of roaming receptions where guest are free to move around and eat when they'd like. I was worried about how this might work out, but my guests loved that they didn't have to stay at one table the entire wedding. They have a great fire pit and a super cute carriage room that has a beautiful stained glass roof. Plus, there was a beautiful view of the Monterey Bay from the top floor. This venue was everything I wanted and more for my wedding!! I would definitely recommend The Perry House for a memorable wedding!!

    The most magical wedding day

    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!!!

    Absolute perfection

    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.

    The Perry House's reply:

    Hi Katherine and Camron,

    You two were so incredibly sweet and wonderful to work with for your wedding! Thank you so much for your support and generous review! I truly enjoyed the wedding planning journey with you two and I’m so glad to know you were able to enjoy every moment of your wedding with your friends and family. We were so glad to be a part of your special day and we wish you two all the best in your new venture together as Husband and Wife!

    All the best,
    Charlene and the Events by Classic Group Team

    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!

    The Perry House's reply:

    Thank you, Megha, for your review! It was so fun working with you both and learning everything you taught me about bringing two cultures together for both the Ceremony and Reception. We were so privileged to be a part of your special day and we wish you both all the love and happiness in the world! ~ Charlene and the Events by Classic Team

    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

    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
