A Countryside Wedding with a Taste of Tradition

Perona Farms is a countryside wedding venue in Andover, Sussex County, New Jersey, owned and operated by the same family since 1917. Its three venues—the Barn, the Reserve, and the Refinery—offer different architectural styles, from a historic barn to an industrial space with exposed brick and steel.

Gardens, Perona Lake, and an island add variety to wedding portraits, while an on-site greenhouse and smokehouse connect the menu to the property’s farming heritage.

Event Spaces & Capacity

  • The Barn: Allows up to 200 seated guests. Originally built in the 1930s, it hosts cocktail hour on the first floor, followed by dinner and dancing upstairs. Indoor and outdoor ceremony options are available.

  • The Reserve: Accommodates up to 275 guests. Stone columns, a redesigned bar, and customizable lighting distinguish the reception space. Its garden ceremony area has a retractable roof, offering flexibility for changing weather.

  • The Refinery: Hosts up to 170 seated wedding guests. Exposed brick, steel, and concrete define the industrial setting, which includes an indoor/outdoor ceremony area, lounge, loggia, terrace, and private wedding-party suites.

Catering

Perona Farms provides in-house catering with menus that change seasonally. Greens are grown in the property’s greenhouse, and its signature smoked salmon is cured and smoked on-site. The culinary team also uses seasonal local ingredients through the Jersey Fresh program.

Reception options include seated dinners, buffets, and station-style celebrations. The Barn offers family-style dining, bringing shared dishes to the table.

Why Couples Love Perona Farms

The choice of venues gives couples three distinct ways to celebrate, supported by the same family-run hospitality and culinary team. The food has its own story here, from greenhouse-grown greens to salmon prepared in the smokehouse.
