    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!

    The Best Wedding Venue

    The Estate at Florentine Gardens is THE venue to book! From the time we walked in, we knew that this was it for us. From the décor, to the staff, to the level of professionalism, everything was top tier.

    Samantha assisted us from beginning to end. She was available whenever we needed. Her attention to every email and detail was phenomenal. Ciro made sure that our day was planned to perfection, and that we got everything we wanted. The staff at Florentine were also amazing, and warmly welcomed us every time we visited the Estate.

    My Husband and I also had the best bridal attendants, Lee and Monica. They were super professional and made sure that our day ran smoothly and was perfect. They made sure that we did not have to worry, and that we were able to enjoy our special day.
    Our wedding was the wedding of our dreams, thanks to Florentine! To top it off, Sal, and the entertainment team did and amazing job on the Wrap Up video! It was PERFECT. Our guests really enjoyed how they were able to be a part of our entire day from beginning end. Everyone also enjoyed the lighting and theatrics that were included during our reception!

    The Florentine has this down to a science!

    Gordon and I got married here a few days ago and were absolutely thrilled with every aspect of the day, even 17 months out when we first booked the date! Ciro, Samantha, Sal, Tony, Monica, Celeste, and Jorge made this day go by without a hitch and people are still reaching out to tell us just how much fun they had on our big day.

    Celia and Bong Bunagan 50th Wedding Anniversary

    Bong and I was so happy to work with Denise, the executive consultant. Her knowledge, professionalism, organization and attention to details are just outstanding. We wish a simple but classic and elegant 50th wedding anniversary and she was able to make our dreams come true, uniquely ours and make that special day run flawless.
    Sal, the director of entertainment and services, with his leadership and professional expertise, provided excellent consultation on entertainment. The personalized lazer monogram was a perfect addition to the dance floor and everyone loved it. His team from the lighting, videographer and dj make our anniversary so special, perfect and one of a kind.
    DJ Rob is a high level professional, not only coming from us but from our guests. He was great in keeping our timeline moving along from speeches, first dances, dinner, cake cutting and each event was announced clearly to guests to keep the day flowing. Everybody enjoyed the game “name that song” a great hit especially to the guests who won the prize. All of us had a wonderful time at our anniversary, it starts with great music, but it ends with an amazing DJ Rob.
    Videographer Jesse is a wonderful man and truly a professional in his field. He has the patience to tell us what is best for the video. He was instantly able to put my family and guests at ease and capture some captivating videos. He is creative, has an amazing eye, a lot of fun and easy to work with and make our experience memorable.
    I did not expect I will have a bridal assistant, Monica on the day of my anniversary. She brought us to the bridal suite when we arrived and continental breakfast was waiting for us. She was with me the whole time of the event, assisted me of what I needed, ensuring that everything was executed effectively and that no important details were overlooked that makes me feel comfortable and happy.
    This is the second time we used The Estate of Florentine Gardens. My younger son also used the venue when he got married. Our guests have positive comments about this place and put their pictures on the social media, how beautiful the inside as well as the outside, the food was delicious and excellent from the cocktail hour to the dinner. All of them were surprised when they were asked “do you want seconds”. Everybody working at Florentine Gardens are very courteous and professionals, we all feel that we are so special and all our guests are so impressed, cannot stop talking about their experiences and enjoyed themselves so much. A BIG THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE TEAM AND WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

    May 11, 2024

    My daughter”s wedding day at Florentine Estates was “ABSOLUTE PERFECTION”. We hired Amanda Rae events and we followed all her advice. Amanda is pure talent in wedding planning.
    The moment we arrived in the morning the bridal attendants Kerry and Nicole were waiting for us. They took care of everything for the bride and bridal party. They were amazing. As the mom, I was able to relax and enjoy everything. Jorge made sure everything was perfect.

    Sal Travis, the house band and videographer -Tom took the wedding to a whole other level. Our guests were so impressed.

    The food was delicious . The ceremony room was so beautiful and decorated beyond our dreams.

    I am so grateful for team that made it all happen.

    Amazing venue

    I just had my wedding at the absolutely beautiful Estate at Florentine Gardens. 5 stars is not enough for the attention to detail, level of service, and professionalism we received leading up to and during our Wedding Day.

    Jason was phenomenal, he was extremely responsive and really cared about the experience me and my husband had along with our families. He took excellent care of us and I always felt like I was in great hands. His professionalism, care, and attention to detail are unmatched!

    Monica, my bridal attendant was THE BEST THERE IS. She was on her feet from early morning to late at night and was on top of absolutely everything- steaming dresses, bustling my dress, and somehow managed to keep track of my husband's tuxedo as he removed his jacket, bowtie, and suspenders throughout the night. At the end of the night everything in our bridal suite was organized and ready for us to take back or pickup the next day. I truly can't say enough about how wonderful she is- I didn't worry about ONE thing all day. I would turn around to ask for some water and/or champagne and Monica would already be there holding both. We used nearly all in-house vendors, including Sal Travis Entertainment.

    We used the House Band, Mirror Photobooth, DJ Tony G for our after party, and the Lighting Package along with live musicians for our ceremony and cocktail hour. If you want to WOW your guests and dance the night away I can't stress enough how Sal and his team are the best there is. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how amazing our band was and DJ Tony G lit up the after party with a curated playlist I couldn't get enough of. Prior to the big day Sal was extremely responsive and made sure all our music was perfect (which it was!). If you're considering the Florentine Gardens, I urge you to lock in your date, it was the most fun amazing beautiful day.

    Perfection. A dream come true.

    I am trying to find the right words to sum up my incredible experience with this venue. It was the first one I toured and I booked immediately that day based off its beauty alone. Denise from the very beginning made us feel like family and was by my side every step of the way. Sal made us feel at complete ease and executed all of our ceremony and reception requests while exceeding our expectations. Jeff brought calm and order to what at times seemed like a very overwhelmingly emotional day. DJ Tony Gia made the party feel like a movie. He took all our very picky and out of the ordinary requests and delivered on all of them and more. Jesse's wrap up video- as my guests now say- looked like Spielberg directed it himself. And Leila- who as I tear up as I write this, was the most memorable of my day. It wouldn't have been what it was without her. From 8am to the end of night- she never once left my side. If I needed it- she had it. It got to a point where she began to read my mind. I will never forget all that she did to bring me such a strong sense of peace on that day. There will never be enough thank yous for her- and everyone at the Florentine family. Guests are saying from the food to entertainment to everything in between, it was the best venue they've ever been to, and best wedding they've ever experienced. Book them ASAP

    Best Venue For a Wedding!

    My spouse and I looked at around 11 other venues, and none come close to what you get at The Estate at Florentine Gardens. First off, the whole venue is GORGEOUS, with a beautiful, freshly made ceremony room, cozy but classy cocktail room, and a spectacular elegant ballroom for your reception. Even the hallways, groomsmen suite, and the bridal suites are amazing - they're big, stunning and are perfect for getting ready. If you're considering a winter or summer wedding, this venue is perfect. Even you're in the summer and it gets rained out, you'll still have a picture-perfect ceremony room, so really there is no need to worry. We did our wedding just a week ago and it was amazing!

    Not only does this venue wow your guests in terms of how it looks, but the staff are INCREDIBLE. We worked with Samantha (our event consultant), Jeffery (our maître d'), Monica & Max (our bridal attendants), Sal (entertainment services), DJ Tony Gia, and Shar (videographer). From day 1, Samantha was always enthusiastic and patient about our many many many questions that we asked throughout the whole entire year before our wedding. She was a joy to work with! Everything was done professionally and the answers provided truly reflects how much this venue knows and understands how to run a good wedding. Monica, Jeffery, and Max were with us the day of the wedding and they truly ran the show behind the scenes. They were there to answer any questions, take all the stress off of us and our families, and made sure everything was on time and done well. There was really nothing we needed to worry about because Jeffery, Monica, and Max were well coordinated and knew exactly what to do, even with our outside vendors (photographer and florists).

    One of the best things about The Estate at Florentine Gardens is that they also have amazing entertainment services. If you end up booking this venue, we highly recommend using Sal Travis and his team. Sal was always ready to provide us good song selections and help us craft our package for what we would like to have (lighting, videography, DJ, sparkler towers photo booth, ceremony music, and so much more). DJ Tony Gia was the best - he kept our dance floor up and dancing the whole night and was an amazing MC. Sal's team of videographers were also outstanding and blew our guests away. They were able to catch everything live and even produce an amazing wrap-up video to display at the end of the night.

    Our friends and families members who have been to so many weddings before said that our wedding was the best wedding that they have ever been to, and we know that it's because The Estate at Florentine Gardens is 1. beautiful, 2. provides the highest quality of service, and 3. is truly working to ensure your day goes smoothly, and 4. the food is so DELICIOUS!! (we had endless amounts of food flowing from our cocktail to reception to after, everyone said they were so full and thought it tasted amazing)!

    Ciro & his staff were fantastic. Sal, Jeffery, Monica and Sarah to name a few were on top of everything we could ask for and more. If you're looking for a Venue for your event, STOP and look no further. Florentine Gardens is the place !!!!!

    Incredible

    I am SO grateful for the entire team at The Estate at Florentine Gardens. My husband and I wanted to use a venue that were experts to make our wedding day flawless. They have this down to a science. I am so thankful we had Ciro and Sam to guide us the entire year planning. Boy did they take care of us! Day of we met Bridal Attendant Kerry and Jeff our Maitre D. They took care of everything. All of my bridesmaids said they want to redo their own wedding to have Kerry by their side all day. Jeff prepared us for everything and he didn’t miss a detail. We made a last minute decision to add a videographer. Working with Sal and Shar was amazing. It would have been a mistake if we didn’t add that piece. We had the video same day and all of our family and friends can’t stop watching it. If this didn’t convince you enough to have your wedding here, go take a tour and the stunning venue will take your breath away. I am so appreciative for all of their hard work. It truly exceeded our expectations. Last but not least, we come from huge foodie families and the food was OUTSTANDING! I promise you will not be disappointed.

    Amazing from start to finish

    Coming from the Mother & Father of the bride, Ciro, Jeffery, Sal, Monica & Sarah, only to name a few were fantastic. The ceremony room is crazy gorgeous, the cocktail hour was amazing, and the main event was absolutely incredible. The guests couldn't stop coming up to us with their raves about the food, the venue and the staff. Florentine Gardens did everything they promised and more. Their recommendations of vendors for flowers, photos and music were on point. I guess when you do this day in and day out you really get it right. I can only say one thing, if you're looking for that special place for the biggest celebration of your life, you have to choose The Florentine Gardens, You will be amazed!!!! Alan P.

    Fairytale wedding 🩷

    I truly don’t even know were to begin. First let me start by saying the second you walk into the Florentine you are treated as family. From our first experience with Ciro my husband, my parents and myself all felt his personal touch to make sure everything with our wedding day would be exactly what we’ve dreamt of. His kindness and patience meant the world to us. Sal Travis and his team are BEYOND talented and amazing. Our videographer Jesse was so fun to deal with and the same day edit video all I can say is … W O W!!!!! I probably have watched it over 20 times already. The day of my wedding I couldn’t imagine it without Monica. She didn’t only treat me like a princess she treated my whole bridal party like royalty. She was there from start to finish and was the sweetest person to deal with! Our DJ Tony Gia made the wedding party go insane!!!!! Everyone loved the music and the dance floor was filled the entire night. I honestly can’t put into words the amount of love I have for the venue, staff, and the Daidone family. Thank you to the Florentine and their dedicated hard work for making our wedding P E R F E C T. When I say not one thing went wrong I truly mean it, it was the most magical fairytale wedding I have dreamt of.

    The most beautiful, spectacular, exquisite wedding venue!

    We had our cocktail hour & reception at the Estate at Florentine Gardens in November 2023.
    My husband and I wanted to really emphasize delicious food and service and let me tell you Florentine Gardens delivered it to us, our family and friends, on a rhodium platter. From the moment we walked into the beautifully designed lobby/entryway, greeted by a gorgeous chandelier, fireplace, and staircase, we knew this place was the real deal. Jason worked with us and our planner Lauren at Detailed Events by Lo from the start, helping to guide us in our vendor choices and most importantly our cocktail hour and reception food selections. We loved being able to customize our food selections from start to finish, with really different and fun options that we hadn’t seen at other weddings before. Jason was extremely attentive, easy to work with, patient, and kind. From working with Jason and the FlorenTEAM, you really feel like they are your family as they want you to have the most magnificent day possible with the most amount of ease and least amount of stress. Jason made it so easy to communicate with him during the planning process. We have very hectic schedules and Jason was the most accommodating. When it came down to the week of the wedding, we were feeling so excited and stress free thanks to Jason and his team. I knew they had everything figured out down to a tee. When we arrived to the venue after our church ceremony, my husband and I were greeted by Jason & Jeffery (and some vodka Martinis). I could go on and on about every single perfect detail, but I would be writing for hours. There was not one single thing that I could find wrong with how the day went. Everything was absolutely perfect. The food, drinks, desserts, and service exceeded our expectations. People say your wedding day is the best day of your lives, and ours truly was with help from Florentine Gardens. We give our HIGHEST recommendation for this truly spectacular venue. We wish our friends would get married there so we can return and eat all of the food again :P.

    Of note- We mostly used the recommended vendors, which were all lovely, easy to work with, and contributed to our fabulous day.
    -Sal Travis Entertainment for Day & Night Videography (insanely amazing same day wrap up video that we cannot stop watching!!!), unbelievable lighting, and the incredible DJ TONY GIA, who are friends and family cannot stop talking about!!!
    -Arcadia Floral Company (beautiful whimsical flowers and candles-working with Sammy was so easy and great!!!)
    -Creationari Stationary company created the most gorgeous custom invitations that included a painted photo of our venue

    Spectacular Wedding for my daughter and son-in-law

    The Estate at Florentine Gardens delivered an absolutely stunning and spectacular affair for our daughter's and son-in-law's wedding. The attention to detail was "over the top". From 7:00AM, Friday, September 22, 2023 to 12:00AM, Saturday, September 23, 2024 we were treated like royalty. The Bridal attendant, Legia, was terrific and she was by our daughter's side the entire day while helping all of the women who are important to the bride prepare for the day as well. Christopher was serving the groom and all of the men who are important to the groom all day. Christopher also made sure that the people close to the bride and groom had everything they needed all day. The Bride & Groom hired Sal Travis to create their wedding video and he did an amazing job producing a most fabulous "wrap-up" video at the end of the night that is incredibly good quality and captured all of the beautiful details and love of the wedding day. This video was displayed at the end of the night for the bride and groom to share with all of their guests. Denise Downing made sure the bride's and groom's wishes were fulfilled. I highly recommend The Estate at Florentine Gardens to anyone interested in having a wedding in north New Jersey.
    Adrienne & Vincent Marcigliano

    The BEST day of our lives!!!

    Our wedding was last night at the Florentine Gardens. We were completely blown away with how amazing it was. Sal, Tony the DJ, and Jesse made our reception one that our guests CANNOT stop talking about. Kerry our bridal attendant was such a huge help and was unbelievably attentive. Our maitre’d George was so awesome at making sure everything was on schedule. Jesse the videographer made our video that I have watched at least 10 times already. Denise the coordinator made us feel like family from the very first minute we walked through the doors for a tour. She has been pivotal in making our dreams come true and helping us along the way.

    We had the most beautiful time, the venue is breathtaking, and we are so incredibly thankful for the Florentine Gardens and all their staff who helped make our day as perfect as it was.

    Perfect Wedding Venue

    I recently had an all-day Indian-American fusion wedding at The Estate at Florentine Gardens, and I cannot express how incredible this venue is. They worked with us on every detail, ensuring we had everything we needed. The team was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the entire process. The venue itself is extraordinarily beautiful, adding an extra touch of magic to our special day. We worked with Samantha, who was amazing and so sweet—she made sure we got everything we needed and then some! She was there on the day of my wedding and was incredibly supportive. My bridal assistant for the day, Lee, was unreal. She ensured everything was perfect for me and made sure the day went smoothly. I highly recommend this venue and their outstanding team!

    The most amazing venue in NJ!!!

    I can't begin to describe how this venue was everything and more. My words would certainly fail me. From the first phone call with Ciro, to the venue tour...I was awed by the absolute, stunning beauty of Florentine. Ciro was THE BEST to my fiance and I and by the end of our tour, he made us never want to look at any other venue. We just had to book. Sal was so warm and inviting and offers the most unique and unbelieveable entertainment package that leaves your wedding as your talk of the town. OF YOU ARE READING THIS, THE RECAP VIDEO IS WHAT YOU NEED!!! It's been two days and I've already watched it hundreds of times! Thank you Shar for the most amazing videos and being so fun to work with!! Such wonderful work. Samantha my event coordinator was just a dream to work with. Answering emails and messages and ensuring that everything went smoothly was the icing on the cake for me. Upon my arrival...Leegia, the bridal attendant, was the friend I never knew I needed. She was just awesome and professional and maintained this for the entire day. Even if she had to run back and forth one hundred times, she was just so sweet and reassuring. She even has a bridal survival kit! Such a beautiful soul. And then came George, the maitre d, who simply perfected all the details of the night. Very responsive and attentive and kept our wedding in order. The servers and kitchen staff were just top tier in their service. The entire staff at Florentine Gardens made our wedding an absolute dream come true. My guests were certainly floored by how beautiful the venue was. We love you all at Florentine so very much. You've made us truly happy and we couldn't ask more. If you've made it this far in reading my review....MAKE THAT CALL!!!

    Above and Beyond

    This team is flawless. They go over every detail and make it effortless. Our wedding day turned out amazing and smooth, and it was because we picked Florentine Gardens and their affiliated vendors. From Samantha, helping us plan and get things ready beforehand, to Sal, who ensured the entertainment and lighting was top notch. Tony, our DJ was fantastic and incorporated a difficult mix of cultures and music with ease. The videographers Char and Paul were a joy to work with and they had a beautiful wrap-up video ready for us by the end of dinner. Amazing! They really do go above and beyond to make it a perfect day for the bride and groom. We are so happy we picked Florentine Gardens.

    Top Notch & Exceptional Customer Service

    My husband and I wanted a unique and exquisite venue; one that our guests have never been to. The Estate at Florentine Gardens exceeded our expectations. This venue is luxurious, top notch and exceptional in all aspects. We felt like royalty from start to finish. Ciro (one of the owners) and Samantha assisted with every facet of the wedding planning process. Ciro was a tremendous help with the menu selections and day-of details. Sal Travis provided excellent consultation on entertainment. From ceremony to reception, Sal & team executed our production needs. The state of the art entertainment system had our guests dancing and amazed throughout the night.

    On the day of, our bridal attendants Monica & Max took excellent care of us and made our day seamless. They anticipated our needs before we even knew what we needed. Monica was truly God sent for the bride. The servers and bartenders treated our guests like VIPs. The Maitre D and the entire waitstaff provided stellar 5 star service.

    Most of our guests shared that this was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended. They are still raving about the beautiful cocktail hour, delicious food and service. Our guests also shared that Florentine Gardens has “THE BEST COCKTAIL HOUR & FOOD.” Thomas Daidone “Proprietor” is kind and has assembled an amazing team that compliments this luxurious venue.

    Thank you so much Ciro, Samantha, Sal, Monica, Max and the entire staff at The Estates at Florentine Gardens for making our wedding dreams come true. Hands down, THE BEST VENUE IN NJ.

    Wedding Review

    If you are looking for a wedding venue look no further, Florentine Gardens was absolutely stunning. They gave my husband and I a day we will never forget. The staff, the food and the atmosphere they created was amazing. From the day I met Denise she ensured I was never stressed. She has such an upbeat energy and the made the entire planning process so fun. She was an absolute delight to work with. Sal Travis promised me a night I’d never forget and he definitely delivered. Like Denise, Sal communicated with us and walked us through every step, he was a wonderful MC and the wrap up video we got was incredible! I would highly recommend working with them, they will not disappoint. Next up was the life of the party, the house band. They kept the party rocking from start to finish. The dance floor was packed all night . So many of our guests said how amazing they were. Don’t even second guess it, book the house band! Lastly were our lovely bridal attendants Kerry and Monica. My husband and I didn’t have to lift a finger, they ensured or day was stress free and we couldn’t thank them enough.

    Denise, Sal, the house band, Kerry and Monica, we can’t thank you enough for giving us a night we will remember for the rest of our lives. So many guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been too.

    Fairytale wedding

    I would 100% recommend The Estate of Florentine Gardens for your wedding or special event. As my fiancé and I walked in we were greeted by Denise Downing; Instantaneously we felt comfortable and reassured. We had toured several other venues prior, but they couldn’t even come close to the Estates. As we toured with Denise were sold even more by the beautiful architecture of the ballroom, gorgeous bridal suites, and stunning outdoor gardens. We thought “wow this venue can’t get any better” then it did when we were introduced to Sal Travis. He is the wizard behind all the amazing lighting, video, and entertainment effects. He added the magic to the already glowing venue. The day of the wedding I had some of the best videographers they were like ninjas, I hardly knew they were there. However, they seemed to capture every precious moment. My bridal attendant Leegia was a god send. She was attentive, sweet, and was always there to help on one of the biggest days of my life. The FOOD… oh my god…one word… DELICIOUS. Everyone couldn’t stop raving on how good it all was, and we have so many very picky eaters that always complain. This time …nothing they were all pleased! The DJ Tony Gia who happens to be their house DJ was fantastic. He was very personable and was able to customize our musical wedding experience. He made sure the music was just loud enough that people could still have a good conversation, and customized the music to who was on the dance floor. Overall, this place was truly MAGICAL. If you are still searching for an amazing venue look no further, this is the place, trust me. (Currently looking to crash someone else’s wedding just to eat here again)

    Greatest Day of Our Lives at the Most Incredible Venue

    The Estate at Florentine Gardens is the most incredible venue to host an event. On 7/2/23 my wife & I got married there. There is no other place on the planet that I would choose to host my wedding. The second we stepped foot in their magical venue and spoke with Samantha, we knew that it was the one. Besides their flawless and beautiful facilities, they were extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. They were up front, honest and fair the entire process. They built a relationship based on trust and care. We had a two year engagement which led to a lot of excitement and nerves. Samatha was beyond amazing. We spoke and met with her frequently. We had a lot of details, instructions and requests, to which she handled perfectly every single time with a smile on her face. Knowing she was at the helm of the ship made us know everything would work out. While we didn't work with Ciro directly, any time we spoke with him, he was an absolute professional that only wanted to provide us with the day of our lives and boy did they deliver. The day of, their staff was absolutely amazing. The bridal attendant Lee is a superwoman. She was with us the entire day/night and made the day go by flawlessly. She sewed the buttons shut on my shirt so the studs would stay in place, got tough stains out of our clothes and treated us like royalty. The maitre d, George was also fantastic. He was the quarterback making sure the entire event stayed to the schedule and all vendors were on the same page. He did a perfect job! The facilities were stunning, the new indoor ceremony room is out of this world. For two years we planned on doing the ceremony outside and this was non-negotiable. Well day of it was extremely hot and humid, once we saw that room in a second we said let's do it there. The architecture and beauty is remarkable. The cocktail hour room, ballroom, suites are equally beautiful and clean. Lastly, the food at the estate may be the best food I've ever had at an event in my life. If you don't believe me, you can ask our 200 guests that to this day are calling and texting us that it was the most amazing event they've ever been too and they haven't stopped talking about how amazing the food was. The Estate, Samantha and the Daidone family will forever be a part of our family. When I have kids one day I already know where I will be having their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and one day weddings.

    Spectacular - Best Wedding Ever

    Florentine Gardens was extremely attentive, took us in as family, and made sure our day was nothing short of spectacular. The service, the quality, the beauty, and so much more are worth raving about. Almost every single one of our guests came up to us before the end of the night to say it was the best wedding they have ever been to. And if they didn’t come up to us that night they were calling us the next day to let us know how wonderful everything was as our wedding. I have so much gratitude for the Daidone family and their staff. Every time we needed something it was like they read our mind and were standing right behind us with a drink, water, food, a mint, a pin, you name it. Extremely elegant wedding and this venue is a well oiled machine that know how to throw a killer wedding.
