A Gorgeous Winter Perona Farms Andover NJ Wedding

Cait and Kyle’s gorgeous winter Perona Farms Andover NJ Wedding was beautiful and so much fun to capture! Cait’s thoughtful details and the rustic setting of Perona Farms created a romantic celebration for all to enjoy! Before jumping into their wedding day, though, I’d love to tell you a little about the venue.

About Perona Farms Andover NJ

The Perona Farms wedding venue has been family-owned and operated since 1917 in Andover, New Jersey. Fourth and fifth-generation individuals have been running the venue as we all know it and have shared some of the great history behind the venue as it has been renovated. This location can accommodate everything from 30 to 300 guests at once and was started by a Vaudville performer who wanted the quiet life of a Dairy farmer who saw an opportunity to open a restaurant and hotel and eventually upgrade to hosting parties and weddings. The venue has been a welcome mat for events and weddings ever since. 

Details of the Grounds

You can choose from a few different options for wedding spaces at Perona Farms Andover NJ. If you’re looking for an outdoor location, you can host your ceremony outdoors with the barn as the backdrop and its three silos. You can also alter your guest seating to face the forest! If you want an indoor ceremony location, you can wed inside the long, high-ceilinged barn with all the exposed beams and siding. The atrium doubles as an indoor/outdoor space as it can be covered with a retractable roof and walls. 

The reception spaces include the barn, perfect for your fairytale barn wedding, and the refinery. The refinery is classified as Venetian chic and was built in the 20s. This space can accommodate 60-150 guests and features exposed brick, steel, and concrete. You can utilize the barn’s first floor if you want a place to host cocktail hour. The lounge is also great because it features a brick pizza oven, leather booths and tables, and a full bar. 

In addition, if a getting ready space is on your must-have list for your venue, you can book a bridal suite or groom’s room with a dedicated attendant for both room and bar service. The bridal suite features high ceilings, makeup stations, couches, and full-body mirrors. The groom’s room features vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, foosball, and billiards.

Real Wedding Day – The Couple’s Love Story

These lovebirds met the modern way, swiping until they found their perfect match! Cait and Kyle started dating almost immediately after their first date, and have shared countless memories since. Their anniversary is November 25, 2017. Kyle proposed to Cait on their 3 year anniversary, and the rest is history!

Bridal Preparation at Perona Farms Andover NJ Bridal Suite

First Look at Rustic Andover Estate

The first look for Cait and Kyle was beautiful and adorable! Although initially anxious, as soon as they saw each other both were at ease. We had a gorgeous, sunny February day and took pretty portraits throughout the grounds at Perona Farms. Cait commented that Kyle had been calling her his wife for years now! We adore this love story, and we love bonding with our clients over moments like this!

The Refinery at Perona Farms Wedding Ceremony

The ceremony aisle and alter was beautifully lit up with candles. The venue is absolutely stunning, with tall ceilings and a unique modern design. The greenery covered ceremony backdrop was bright and stunning! We captured beautiful images of Cait and Kyle saying “I Do” amid family and friends.

Husband and Wife Portraits at Perona Farms Andover NJ

Our bride and groom posed together for the first time as husband and wife amid the tall trees, on the wooden bridge, and in front of the venue. We had plenty of time for portraits after the ceremony built into the day’s timeline! We love helping our couples plan the perfect timeline and we are here for you every step of the way. One location means more time for pictures (and partying)!

Romantic Perona Farms Wedding Reception

We captured Cait and Kyle’s gorgeous Wedding Reception at the Refinery at Perona Farms, and it was such an honor! This sweet, loving couple’s first dance was to “Kiss Me” by Ed Sheeran. The father of the bride gave a funny, heartwarming speech, and the mother of the groom also gave a welcome speech.

Congratulations to our couple, Cait and Kyle, on their Wedding! We had such a great time getting to know you and we wish you all the best!
