This venue goes above and beyond to deliver a beautifully-run wedding day for each couple. My husband and I cannot commend them enough for their organization throughout the planning process, responsiveness to questions, and smoothness of the wedding day itself. The food was fantastic, wait staff was friendly and professional, and the venue itself is jaw-dropping and very customizable to different style preferences. Our guests had an absolute blast and so did we!

This venue is beautiful outside but the inside looks like a fancy warehouse. Not the most appealing place to have a wedding in my opinion unless that's the goal for the look of your event. The food by LA Gourmet was awful, the equivalent of a school hot lunch. I was honestly expecting much more from this venue.

Our daughter and son-in-law just had their wedding and reception at Pear Tree, July 2021, and we can't say enough positive comments about this venue. The entire staff at Pear Tree were absolutely amazing. They all were very professional, experienced and so friendly to work with. The food by LA Gourmet was perfect, the presentation and flavor of the food was exceptional. The venue itself with all the wood and windows and the outside grounds are breathtaking. Thank you immensely to everyone at Pear Tree Estate and LA Gourmet that made our daughter's and son-in-law's day unforgettable!
