YELP REVIEW:
Recently, I was asked to plan a party in honor of a very senior person at the firm I work for. She had received a major promotion and is an absolutely lovely person, so I was delighted to put something together for her.
Knowing that there would be ~18 attendees total (all partners) and that Mediterranean is the guest of honor's favorite cuisine, I wracked my brain for the perfect venue, and came up with two options. Pera was the winner as it not only has a private dining room that we could use with a mere minimum spend of $1200, but an excellent menu for private events, reasonable open bar packages, and Vivian, the responsive events manager who worked alongside me, fielding all of my emails and calls fueled by my Type-A tendencies, to put together a flawless celebration.
While I did not personally attend the event, I had been to Pera before and felt I could trust Vivian to coordinate everything on the day-of. As soon as the guests walked out of the restaurant, I began receiving emails of praise! I was told that I "picked such a fun restaurant," that the "food was perfect," and that they can't wait for future parties that I may plan.
Many thanks to Vivian for her professionalism and making things happen even though I was not on-site, and to Pera overall for providing the ideal overall experience and setting.
