Why We Love Perona Farms
Perona Farms in Andover is a genuinely gorgeous property, and its recent renovations have made the spaces even more striking than before. What sets Perona Farms apart is that couples are really choosing between three distinct venues in one location, The Barn, The Reserve, and The Refinery, each with its own personality. The ceremony spaces across the property are beautiful and especially well suited to live music, giving couples a real moment before the celebration even gets started.
What Entertainment Works Best at Perona Farms
Any type of entertainment, DJ, hybrid, or full band, works well in any of Perona Farms’s three spaces. The Barn brings a warm, rustic feel, and its all wood construction gives it especially great natural sound for live music, a detail worth knowing if a full band is part of the vision. The Reserve offers a more elegant, Mediterranean inspired atmosphere with plenty of room for a high energy reception. The Refinery leans industrial chic, with an open, airy feel that suits a band, hybrid, or DJ just as well. Wherever a couple celebrates at Perona Farms, the format comes down to preference rather than the room’s limitations.
Ceremony Music at Perona Farms
The ceremony spaces at Perona Farms, whether in The Barn, The Reserve’s garden with its retractable roof, or The Refinery’s Atrium, are all beautiful settings for live music. A string trio or string quartet is a classic choice across any of these spaces. A violin and cello duo also works well for a more intimate ceremony moment.
Cocktail Hour Music at Perona Farms
A jazz trio is a strong choice for cocktail hour at Perona Farms, whatever space a couple chooses. An acoustic duo is a great option for couples who want something a little more relaxed while guests move between cocktail stations. Solo piano also works well for a quieter, more understated cocktail hour.
Reception Entertainment Options
DJ: A flexible option across all three spaces, with an event host who can read the room and keep the night moving from dinner into dancing.
Hybrid: Brings live energy and the best of both worlds, and works just as well in The Barn’s rustic setting as it does in The Reserve or The Refinery.
Band: A strong fit for couples who want a fully live reception, especially in The Barn, where the all wood construction gives live sound a particularly warm, natural feel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a band or DJ better at Perona Farms?
Both work well across all three of Perona Farms’s spaces. The right choice comes down to the energy a couple wants rather than any limitation of the room.
What's different about entertainment in The Barn versus The Reserve or The Refinery?
The Barn’s all wood construction gives it especially great natural sound for live music, which makes it a particularly strong choice for a full band.

Cocktail hour takes place in a dedicated space within whichever venue a couple chooses, The Barn’s first floor, The Reserve’s patios, or The Refinery’s lounge and terrace areas.
Do I need separate ceremony musicians at Perona Farms?
Given how beautiful and well suited to live music the ceremony spaces are across the property, a string trio or quartet is a popular choice no matter which of the three venues a couple selects.
What entertainment enhancements work best at Perona Farms?
A photo booth and uplighting both work well in any of the three spaces, and can be tailored to match The Barn’s rustic feel, The Reserve’s elegant atmosphere, or The Refinery’s industrial chic style.
What is the most popular entertainment package for Perona Farms weddings?
Many couples pair a string trio or quartet for the ceremony, a jazz trio for cocktail hour, and a DJ, hybrid, or full band for the reception, with the format chosen based on personal preference rather than which of the three spaces they pick.

"There was never a doubt in our minds from the moment we booked EMG/Tom for our wedding that we would receive anything less then extraordinary service. Tom was very knowledgable and helpful throughout our planning process and made it less stressful. Tom absolutely nailed the music for the night and was able to keep the flow of our wedding going. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our wedding and the services provided by EMG. We highly recommend EMG for anyone seeking a DJ for their event."
"Bryan was fantastic from the start. Friendly, super responsive to our many questions, and uber professional. We felt he truly tried to understand what we wanted and then executed it perfectly. We told him that one of the things we really wanted for our wedding was to get people out on the dance floor. He did a great job of reading the room and kept the dance floor packed throughout the night. At one point we were even worried people would miss out on the food! He played everything from salsa and reggaeton to 90s hip hop and Frank Sinatra for us. It all came together seamlessly. He was also a fantastic MC, bringing such great energy to the room."
