Guests arrive at this historic Monterey estate on Van Buren Street to find themselves surrounded by California coastal architecture and manicured gardens that frame the bay beyond.

The Perry House's 4.7-star rating reflects how thoroughly hosts manage every detail—from guest comfort to logistical precision.
We had the pleasure of celebrating my daughter’s wedding at The Perry House earlier this month. What a beautiful and unique venue! The staff were top notch in the service they provided, the food was absolutely delicious, and the space allows for many different intimate areas in which to congregate. We were very fortunate to get a beautiful weather day. It was cool outside, but the venue provided plenty of propane heaters to keep everyone comfortable all evening. We had about 70 people. They can accommodate more, but it was perfect for our group size. I highly recommend The Perry House.
