This was the most awesome wedding experience. Guests will be talking about this for a long time! Staff was great, especially Kim she is a little spitfire! Appeared out of nowhere exactly when we needed her! 10 stars for Kim. Food was outrageously good, venue and grounds were gorgeous, and all the vendors we used (suggested by them) were top notch. Highly recommend for any occasion, but especially for a wedding. I

Perona Farms is a B-E-A-UTIFUL venue for a wedding, party, or just about any event! With it's quaint rustic versus modern decor and feel, it's so very comfortable and there's absolutely no way you cant immediately fall in love with this place. The food, the wait staff, and the surrounding area. PHENOMENAL! Was there for a wedding and was blown away by it all. AND ITS IN AN ACTUAL BARN! If you have a chance to throw an event or you are invited to attend one here. Make sure you go! It's awesome! Can't wait for the next one!

This place was always excellent and now they've raised the bar even higher. With their multi million upgrade, this venue is beyond special! The food and service has gotten even better (which I did not think was possible!) Every event we have attended here has been magnificent! You will NOT be disappointed!

We must say, the new management is VERY on top of the newest trends. The Refinery and The Barn are two of the most unique spaces in the tri-state area and entertaining weddings at Perona is an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend!
