About

An Idyllic setting where lasting memories bloom.

Floriana offers an unforgettable event experience, with its beautiful, centuries-old, Georgian-style mansion and sprawling grounds nestled amongst lush greenery. Located just 25 miles north of Boston, the estate is situated alongside the beautiful Ipswich River and provides an elegant backdrop for your event.

Floriana sets the scene for your wedding day with the unique ability – unlike any other venue in the area – to comfortably seat up to 200 guests indoors in the Ballroom. Set at the back of a long drive and nestled amongst lush arbor and greenery, the estate boasts plenty of privacy. The vintage architectural detailing throughout the interior of the mansion offers richness, beauty, and character. Its gleaming hardwood floors, sparkling crystal chandeliers, three grand fireplaces, and charming French doors that overlook the gardens create an atmosphere of elegance. A grand stairway completes the air of sophistication providing a romantic place for photographs and a magnificent entrance.

Have your guests gather for a picture-perfect ceremony on the lush, rolling lawns, followed by cocktail hour out in the sculpted gardens or inside the mansion. It’s easy to see: Floriana is a blissfully romantic setting for your special day.

Floriana is ideally suited for groups of 80-140 guests during the months of November to April. Additionally, our Tidewater Sailcloth tent offers a perfect space for larger gatherings, accommodating groups from 125-235 guests from May to October.

Beautiful Venue and Incredible Coordinator Team

Brittany, Kelsey and the entire Floriana team were absolutely incredible to work with. From our initial tour, we knew the venue was exactly what we were looking for. It is a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor spaces to allow the day to flow nicely. We also loved and took full advantage of the getting ready spaces which accommodated all our bridal party and family members.

Throughout the planning process, Brittany was always available for questions and always had the best advice when we needed it.

On our actual wedding day, Brittany truly went above and beyond to make it the most perfect day we could have asked for. With rain all week long, we had to pivot in the morning to an indoor ceremony but Brittany and the team worked tirelessly to make sure it was going to be picture-perfect. While it wasn't what we had planned it looked beautiful and was a huge relief to know Brittany had it all under control and we didn't need to worry about a thing.

About 30 minutes before guest arrival, the sun had come out enough to allow for the outdoor ceremony and Brittany quickly made the call that we could pull off a last minute change. The team flipped the spaces in what we assume was record time.

We could not be more grateful to have had such a wonderful team supporting us for our wedding day - we truly had to worry about nothing once we arrived at the venue. It was a magical day and we cannot thank the team enough!

Best Wedding Ever

Brittany and the Floriana team are incredible and you will be so thrilled if you book with them. First, the venue: Floriana is gorgeous inside and out; my husband and I fell in love with it immediately. Even the drive out to the venue is adorable with a mix of colonial and cape cod-style homes. You have several choices of both ceremony and reception sites. We had our ceremony in the upper garden, the cocktail hour in the tent (with heaters we rented through Floriana; needed in early May), and the reception inside the beautiful ballroom.

Our contact person and day-of coordinator was Brittany; WE LOVE HER. She was so enthusiastic about our wedding every time we spoke with her, and incredibly organized. The best example of her help was how she handled the tenuous weather forecast. On the morning of the wedding, she texted us both about the forecast, which was showing on and off rain. She told us the situation (the lower lawn, our original ceremony plan, was too wet for guests, even if rain stopped) and immediately told us her preferred solution (setting up both the upper garden and the tent for the ceremony, then deciding later). The weather kept changing throughout the day but Brittany kept us updated and always brought the best solution, making our choices easy and letting us focus on having fun. Brittany and the staff were so incredible that they literally were able to move all the ceremony chairs from the tent to the upper garden only 15 minutes from the ceremony start time because the sun finally came out!

That brings me to the staff; every staff member was so professional, kind, and organized. We never had a long line at the bar, every table was taken care of by their server, and they even did a great job “shepherding” the guests between the different locations. The room was set up so beautifully and thoughtfully, with every detail in its right place. They were also great at handling all of our DIY items (my husband painted every table number and multiple signs, I drew our guests’ faces on their escort cards, my dad made and bottled maple syrup for table favors, etc.).

The food was excellent, everyone especially loved the chicken with Chimichurri. They were able to make 2 custom dishes from Puerto Rico, my husband’s home (queso frito with guava sauce, and pernil pork on tostones). They also accommodated our special cocktails (cucumber martini and painkiller) which were delicious!

I could go on and on about Floriana. To sum it up, they made sure that our day was absolutely incredible without needing us to worry about anything (even the weather). I should mention we are a gay couple and while some “traditional wedding settings” can feel intimidating or unwelcoming to us, Floriana always made us feel loved, accepted, and deserving of our special day. All we can say is thank you to Brittany and the Floriana team for giving us the wedding of our dreams! Love, Brian and Ricardo

Highly recommend the Floriana!!!!

The Floriana was absolutely stunning, and we could not have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our special day. From the beautiful location to the incredible atmosphere, everything exceeded our expectations.

The staff was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and made everything feel seamless and stress-free. The food was fantastic — our guests are still talking about how great everything was!

A special thank you to our wedding coordinator, Amber, who did an amazing job making sure every detail was perfect. She truly helped make our day so special, and we are incredibly grateful for all of her hard work and support. Even when my bustle broke Kelsey and Amber were on it and immediately ran over to help and fix it.

We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding experience!

Best venue ever!

We are still completely blown away by our experience with Floriana for our September wedding. From the moment guests arrived, it felt special. The ambiance of the entire property was stunning: the tent was beautiful, the grounds were immaculate, the fire pit created the perfect cozy vibe, and the black-and-white elevated dance floor truly took everything to the next level. And people still talk about how lavish it felt being welcomed with cocktails/dirty martinis on platters outside the mansion.

Every vendor the venue recommended was incredible, including the florals and band, with every detail coming together seamlessly, which speaks volumes to the level of care and thought they put into their partnerships. Because of the venue’s impeccable service, organization, and attention to detail, we really didn't even need the wedding planner!

Pricing was very reasonable for the level of quality, service, and overall experience we received. We felt so taken care of from start to finish, and the end result exceeded every expectation we had. We are truly so grateful and honestly wish we could do it all over again. If you’re considering this venue-do it. You won’t regret it for a second.

Unbelievable Venue & Experience!!!

This venue is perfection - from beautiful grounds with a variety of aesthetic options to an organized, responsive & helpful team that makes your wedding day dreams come to life. Every possibility and cost is transparent from the start. Our coordinator was unbelievably attentive and supportive throughout the planning process through the very end of the wedding night. We could not have had a better experience & we could not recommend more!

Such an amazing venue!

Stop reading this review right now and book Floriana! The staff is incredible, the venue is beautiful, and the food is delicious. We loved working with Kelsey, who made all of the logistics leading up to our wedding very easy and stress free. We also loved that they coordinated everything on our wedding day so that we could be 100% in the moment. Additionally, Floriana’s vendor list is amazing and we really liked all of the vendors we worked with, mainly from their list. The waitstaff is fantastic and highly professional. They do a great job of maintaining the grounds so that they are seasonal and beautiful any time of the year, rain or shine. We could not recommend this venue more highly!

Wedding of my dreams

This is not an exaggeration—August 31, 2025, was exactly how I had dreamt it would be, all thanks to the incredible team at Floriana. From my very first venue tour with Jenna to the big day itself, I truly enjoyed working with every single staff member. There wasn’t a single item on my wish list that went unaccommodated.

We’ve received endless compliments on how sophisticated and unique the venue was, how delicious the food tasted, and how lovely the entire evening felt. I also have to say, booking the getting-ready space for the morning of was the best decision ever—the bridal suite was absolutely beautiful, spacious, and perfectly lit for photos and makeup.

I cannot thank Brittany enough for her hard work on the day of and for her flexibility and support leading up to our wedding.

The perfect wedding venue!

My husband and I had our wedding at Floriana on September 12 and it was the absolute best day of my life! Our coordinator Brittany went above and beyond all day and night. Not only was she so fun to work and plan with, but she made our day of absolutely perfect. The venue is simply stunning with the best lighting, and the food is AMAZING. I truly can’t thank the entire team at Floriana enough for making our dreams come true.

Best venue ever!

My husband and I attended a friend’s wedding here in 2024 and immediately fell in love with the Floriana!!! We had the chance to work with much of the staff at one point or another from the time we decided to get married here up until our wedding day (shoutout Kelsey, Brittany, Amber, Jenna, Chef Ryan). They are ALL phenomenal at their jobs!!!!
We got married in September 2025 in the sculpted garden (gorgeous & intimate) and had our reception under the tent- obsessed with every space here! The getting ready suites were plenty of room for myself and my 8 bridesmaids as well as my grandmother and mom. (plenty of room for the boys too) - from the moment we arrived on wedding day we were met with help getting things inside and hanging my dress which was a warm welcome! Every vendor we booked also had and shared pleasant experiences with the Floriana team and grounds. (some preferred/previous vendors of theirs and others not!)
Our day of coordinator Brittany absolutely CRUSHED it- she was helpful with every single small detail and email throughout my entire planning experience, she truly bent over backwards for us, made us feel so cared for and important (even though there was literally 4 events that weekend!!!!) and was exactly what I needed on our wedding day. She, along with other team members, kept things rolling smoothly, listened to every single request I had, and we had so much fun together! I would have to say the day of coordinator included is literally the BEST part of booking here- along with the amazing food, rest of the friendly staff, and absolutely GORGEOUS grounds/building.
Even our tasting experience was so fun & totally worth the money! I truly don’t have enough good things to say. All of the little details every bride thinks and worries about were taken care of- I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!! I would do it all over again a million times if i had the chance 🥰
