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!

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 🥰

Dream wedding venue

I got married in August 2025 and cannot thank Floriana enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. Everything went smoothly and truly felt like a dream come true. Amber was incredible to work with during the planning process—always responsive, helpful, and organized—and she managed the wedding day with such ease that we felt completely at peace. Amber, Kelsey, and the rest of the Floriana team were so supportive throughout the night and made sure us and our families had everything we needed (drinks, food, etc.). The food was outstanding (thank you Chef Ryan) and our guests are still raving about the appetizers, entrées, and bar service. Every staff member we encountered was kind, professional, and hardworking. Floriana is such a beautiful venue and we are beyond grateful to the entire team for giving us the best night of our lives!! Highly recommend having your wedding here as it will be the most special night of your life!!

A dream come true!

My husband and I had our wedding at Floriana this August, and we truly could not have imagined a more perfect experience. From the very first visit to the big day itself, everything was beyond incredible.
Jenna & Kelsey made the booking process easy and stress-free, and it only got better from there! During the many months leading up to the wedding, Amber and Kelsey answered every single question I had and helped me iron out every single detail. Then when we sat down with Amber for our planning meeting we felt like we simply had a couple of loose ends to tie up, which Amber helped us do! She kept everything organized and accessible on their planning software, so when the day finally came, we were ready to go!
The venue is absolutely stunning — every corner feels magical, elegant, and beautifully maintained. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how gorgeous everything was, from the sculpted garden to the mansion to the tent! Every corner of the property is immaculate! And those prep suites upstairs…unbelieveable!! Not only are they gorgeous and comfortable, but they have all the space in the world to spread out. We kept all our belongings up there all night, and I had everything I needed to change into my second dress!!
And we can’t forget the food! I haven’t gotten feedback from guests that hasn’t included a compliment on the food! Every single thing we picked from the menu was out of this world (cocktails included!). Our guests left full and happy!
One of the things that truly made our experience unforgettable was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was professional, kind, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The coordination by Amber was flawless — every little detail was handled with such care and precision that all we had to do was show up and soak in every moment. It was clear that the team knows exactly what they’re doing, and they do it with heart.
As someone who has worked in hospitality and event planning for over 10 years, I can’t even begin to tell you the value of good staff. To feel taken care of by them on my wedding day was a feeling that you can’t put a price on. I was able to put everything in Amber’s hands and just be the bride!!
Thanks to Floriana, our wedding day was stress-free, full of joy, and completely unforgettable. We feel so lucky to have celebrated the most important day of our lives here. If you’re considering this venue — stop thinking and book it. You’ll be so glad you did.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
