Absolutely Amazing!!

It’s been nearly a month since our wedding and my husband and I are still receiving compliments and positive feedback from family and friends. From the moment we first stepped foot into The Florian Gardens we were impressed by the staff’s knowledge, professionalism, and kindness. They truly want you to have the best day of your life and will go above an beyond to accommodate your wedding day vision! Our wedding was their largest post-Covid event and they handled everything flawlessly! From start to finish our day could not have gone better. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the food was, and how efficient the staff members were!

Lastly, Lisa is an absolute rockstar, you will not regret having her and your wedding coordinator. She went above and beyond to answer each of our questions in a timely manner and offered so much great advice! She truly thinks of everything and has a backup plan for it all. Even though we held our ceremony offsite she even gave us advice and tips for that portion of the day. She is so incredibly kind and thoughtful. We were so grateful to have her in our corner handling any issues and helping guests as needed.

There’s truly nothing negative to say about this venue. We could not recommend it enough and would have our wedding at Florian Gardens a million times over if we could!

Made if a fairy tale wedding

The Florian wedding coordinator, owner and staff made the entire process go so smoothly. Relieving the stress of that important day made our daughter's wedding and family experience so enjoyable for all. We'll be back but this time to schedule another event.

We Couldn't Have Been Happier!

If you are looking for a beautiful setting, top-notch service, and a delicious menu tailored to your specifications, look no further than The Florian Gardens. We couldn’t have been happier with our venue and when asked what they could have done to make our day better, we honestly couldn’t think of anything. Having an on-site wedding coordinator took a lot of the stress out of planning, as we could always ask questions and receive the information that we needed. The owner has done an outstanding job of not only building a beautiful and user-friendly event setting, but he has done a wonderful job of building a culture where everyone is so friendly, guest-oriented, and knowledgeable. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that you will DEFINITELY not be disappointed by The Florian Gardens!

Great venue!

Our wedding day was everything we dreamed! Florian was super easy to work with & flexible when our wine budget ran out by 6PM! They walked us through step by step as our planning months went by. The cost was reasonable and the food was OUTSTANDING (seriously recommend the chicken). We had an indoor ceremony & they were able to flip the room in a matter of minutes. The location was great & their garden in the back made for some absolutely stunning pictures. We loved it!

Easily the best wedding venue in a Eau Claire

We got so many compliments from our wedding guests and family about what a fabulous venue we chose for our wedding. The Florian made getting married such a smooth and easy process I would want to do it all over again! The ambience was wonderful, food was amazing, and all staff was great to work with. Everyone is so professional and they worked seamlessly with our other vendors to make the day completely stress free.

Would choose Florian again, no exceptions

I absolutely LOVED working with the wedding coordinator to make our day perfect. But the day was far from perfect, it exceeded perfect too many times to count. The staff had perfect timing with all of the food, which was phenomenal, Ashley checked in to make sure everything was running smooth. They go out of their way to work with your vendors before the date so that everyone is on the same page and on top of having the entirely perfect day, marrying my absolute best friend, they gave us a gift during our dinner. We truly felt like close friends if not family through out the entire planning process and the day of. It honestly makes me a little sad our days over because planning with Florian made was my favorite experience.

Absolutely Amazing!

They were absolutely wonderful to work with. I had a unique Nepali / American fused wedding and they helped bring out the best of both worlds.
