Wedding August 30, 2024

My husband and I got married at Florentine Gardens on August 30, 2024 and there are truly no words to fully describe how perfect and magical our wedding day was thanks to the entire team at the estate. From the moment we went to see the venue, we fell in love with the stunning, gorgeous grounds and the warm, friendly staff. Every person we met and worked with truly went above and beyond in every way possible, and exceeded all of our expectations. Samantha was our event consultant who we absolutely adore. We cannot stop talking about how incredible she is, as she truly helped bring our vision and dream to life while making the entire wedding process fun and stress free. In addition to Samantha, we worked closely with Sal who was in charge of our entertainment. Sal and his entire team were phenomenal to say the least from start to finish. He always made us feel like we were the only couple he was working with, as he made us feel so special. The day of the wedding was just as perfect and smooth as everyone promised. Our DJ Tony Gia was incredible!!! Prior to our wedding day, he met with us and went over in detail every aspect of the night to ensure that he knew us as a couple and captured who we were through our music choice. He brought so much energy and excitement to our wedding day- all of our guests had so much fun and loved him as much as we did. Our videographer Jesse captured every perfect, magical moment of the day and created a heartwarming wrap up video which was played at the end of the night. We also will never forget Jeff and Legia who were there every step of the way on our wedding day to make sure things were perfect and assist us in anyway possible. I can truly go on and on about how happy we are and how much we love Florentine Gardens and the entire staff. Thank you all for making our dreams come true. We wish we could relive this day over and over, and hope to be back as guests at future weddings. We also will be dreaming about the incredible, delicious food and desserts for the rest of our lives! There is truly not one thing that we would change about our wedding day and we are so blessed to say that we got married at the most beautiful, amazing venue, the Estate at Florentine Gardens!

A Fairytale!

We had the most incredible experience for our wedding! My family works at other wedding venues so when it was time for us to pick a wedding venue the standards were high- and the Florentine Gardens blew those standards away. I initially didn't want a big wedding but after the Florentine Gardens I am so glad we did it! From the beginning everyone was so kind and accommodating. We worked with Jason for our wedding but the moment you walk in anyone there was happy to help with a smile. The process was so easy and they have SO much available in house so there was NO STRESS when planning. The process was easy and hassle free and entirely about me and my husband and our families. The space is AMAZING! Everyone there takes so much pride in keeping everything up to date and modern, clean, and beautiful. The space is incredible and our pictures are going to be amazing! The day of we were absolutely catered to. My bridal attendant Legia did EVERYTHING for us. From steaming all the dresses to making sure we had plenty to eat and drink to carrying the train of my dress around so I wasn't struggling and it wasn't getting dirty. My husband (accidentally) spilled a drink on me and she cleaned it before I had a moment to realize what happened. She was amazing and so fun to spend the day with. She made sure I had everything I needed and got to enjoy every second of it. Between Jason and Legia there was not a detail that was missed and not a person that was not taken care of. We used the in- house band and videographer and you need to do it! Sal was great to work with and they have lighting and video systems that we did not find at any other location and the videos are INSANE! They make a wrap up video that plays at the end of the night and my guests could not stop talking about it! Imagine you are finishing the night and playing as everyone is getting ready to leave is a video they took THAT DAY of the whole day as a recap. It was amazing. Jesse was our videographer and he was amazing to work with. He was so funny and fun to work with! The shots he got and all the drones etc he had at his disposal made for some truly incredible shots- I have NEVER seen anything like it! He is really so talented and a joy to work with. The band and DJ are also a MUST! You get both with the in house band and it is so worth it! My guests did not get off the dance floor for a second and everyone- even those who normally do not dance- had the best time. They all have incredible voices but also get on the dance floor and interact with everyone and have a fun time! If you are in any way considering the Florentine Gardens-- DO IT! The details are all amazing and they do everything to make sure your wedding is a night you will never forget!

The most amazing wedding venue!

To say this venue is amazing is amazing is an understatement. The staff, the food, the ambiance, the way they cater to you at the bride and groom was 10/10. You will not regret having your wedding at the estate!
