Floriana

From our very first interaction with the team at Floriana, everyone was incredibly responsive and communicated with us so well. Jenna and Kelsey guided us through each step of the booking and planning process, patiently answering all of our questions and making everything feel seamless and stress-free. The venue is absolutely beautiful and exactly the style we were looking for! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, and there are so many options for the setup of the day- inside, outside, under the tent, or a little bit of both. I loved that there were several options for rain plans if needed, although the team stressed they will do absolutely everything in their power to give you your dream set up! The bridal/getting ready suite was very spacious and had plenty of room for hair/makeup and a large bridal party. Our guests loved the food and drinks! We were paired with Brittany as our day-of coordinator, and I truly believe she is the reason we had the most perfect day ever. From the moment we met her, she was kind, professional, calming, and reassuring. She was always available and quickly answered any questions, she was willing to accommodate our special requests without hesitation, and helped us carefully plan our timeline so that every detail reflected exactly what we envisioned. On the actual wedding day, Brittany went above and beyond. She checked in frequently while we were getting ready, making sure we had everything we needed, yet she never felt overbearing. Her attentiveness and calm presence made me feel completely at ease knowing she was taking care of everything behind the scenes. She fully understood my vision for the day, and I never once doubted that she would set everything up perfectly! I never imagined I’d fully trust someone else to manage and execute every detail—but with Brittany, I never had a single concern and was able to fully be present and enjoy my wedding day knowing she was taking care of everything. We are beyond grateful for the team at Floriana for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

amber was our day of coordinator and was amazing. she decorated everything, the catering staff and food was amazing, the venue itself is gorgeous (obviously.) my wedding was sept 26 and i have no notes. 🤍

They do a tremendous job. The staff are extremely helpful and the venue is beautiful. 10/10 would recommend!

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.

Having our wedding at Floriana this past June was a dream come true! Floriana is truly a hidden gem, and was the most beautiful place to get married. Amber and Kelsey were the best dynamic duo and helped us every step of the way! They made the process seamless and were so communicative, always answering our (many) questions quickly and thoroughly. The weather was questionable on the day of, and they were encouraging the whole time. Luckily the rain stopped shortly before the ceremony and we were able to have the ceremony outside as we had always envisioned! Amber ran the show on the day of and she is incredible at what she does! She made everything go so smoothly and ensured that everything was exactly how we imagined. She is so positive and supportive, and I am so lucky to have had her as our coordinator! I truly cannot imagine having our wedding anywhere else. We are so lucky to have found Floriana and celebrate our special day at the most beautiful place! ❤️

I cannot stress enough what a positive experience my husband and I had with Floriana and their team. We loved working with Kelsey and Brittany throughout the process of planning. They have a great system, easy to follow steps and they're both very helpful and quick to respond. Brittany, our day-of coordinator, was great about checking in to make sure my husband and I got what WE wanted out of the wedding day. She made me feel like a top priority and advocated for me in a way that made everything feel so much easier. THANK YOU FLORIANA!

We got married June 21 2025. We were both overjoyed by Floriana and all they have to offer. We toured several wedding venues and Floriana checked all the boxes that were important to us. There is so much space in the getting ready suites. For girls there are three large rooms. For the guys, there is a large room on the opposite side of the upstairs. There are three bathrooms as well up there. You can bring your own food which is huge. The rainplan is excellent as the inside of the mansion is also so beautiful. The communication is seriously unmatched. I initially worked with Kelsey and then was paired with Brittany. These ladies answer an email so quickly and are so knowledgeable. The food was amazing, the cocktail hour apps are delicious and very large in size. Brittany made anything we wanted happen so effortlessly. I was worried about not having a rehearsal initially but honestly I am happy we didn't. There was so much direction on the day of that a rehearsal was not needed. I had a large amount of girls getting ready with me, so one fix could be allowing us in earlier than 9am. That would really be the only thing I would change. Floriana crosses all the boxes and I am so happy we chose this as our venue.

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!

My husband and I had an amazing experience at Floriana! From the moment we toured the venue all the way through our wedding day they were responsive, helpful, and kind. The venue is GORGEOUS, you will fall in love with it the minute you walk in, and definitely once you see the outdoor space. The bride and groom "getting ready" rooms and stunning and spacious. We worked closely with the wedding coordinator, Kelsey, who was incredibly responsive, and helped us plan our dream wedding on a budget. She was flexible and creative with options. She offered suggestions without being rigid or pushy. The actual day of the wedding went off without a single issue. At one point (in the middle of the dancing and chaos) I misplaced my bouquet, crystal champagne glass and my mom's garter. I approached Kelsey to ask her to keep an eye out, and before I could even say anything she said "don't worry I found all three." That sums up our experience perfectly- they were on top of things they didn't even need to be! I couldn't have been happier and 100% recommend!

We recently had the most wonderful wedding at Floriana!!! The grounds and the mansion were the perfect backdrop for our early fall wedding, with a beautiful, simple elegant, classic New England feel. We have had nothing but amazing experiences since the day we toured the venue – Jenna and Kelsey were there every step of the way during the planning process and they were so helpful answering all of our questions. On the day of, Kelsey and the staff executed everything flawlessly – we didn’t have to worry about a single thing, everything was perfectly coordinated, and she made our wedding vision come to life just as we imagined! The getting ready suites at the venue are spacious and beautiful, setting a relaxing atmosphere and fantastic for photos. All of the food by Vinwood was exceptional – from the apps to the dinner, and the drinks were wonderful too. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We have heard nothing but overwhelmingly positive feedback from family and friends since the wedding – they loved the setting and the food, and multiple people have mentioned how well organized and executed the entire day was. We cannot say enough great things about Floriana! We highly recommend hosting your wedding here, as we had the very best experience from start to finish!!!

As a wedding venue, this place was a dream. Very classic New England feel, with an extremely accommodating staff and catering service. I’d recommend this spot to anyone currently looking at wedding venues!

Here are the positives: gorgeous grounds, gorgeous getting ready spaces. And here's what you need to know before booking: While planning my wedding at the Floriana, the team got back to my emails in a timely fashion. I really felt like all my needs would be met come wedding day and that I wouldn’t have anything to manage come the big day. However, on our wedding day the coordinator we were assigned (Christine) had so many questions for me while I was getting ready upstairs, taking a walk around the venue before guests arrived, and during the reception. I was asked questions that were set in stone weeks ago on the day of like “what votives did you want again?” “how are these napkins meant to be folded?” “what’s next on the schedule? Cake cutting or dances?” Mind you all of the answers to these questions were in countless emails and documented thoroughly on the website they use for planning. I'm sorry but no bride should have to deal with being asked to fold napkins and look through emails to confirm what you told your coordinator days ago on YOUR WEDDING DAY as you're LITERALLY getting ready. Come on. I requested that my husband and my family's rows be swapped for the ceremony so I could see their faces as I married my husband, and my coordinator instead made the entire ceremony BACKWARDS and had my husband and groomsmen standing on the left instead of the right. This threw me off entirely and I couldn't even do my dip correctly at the middle of the aisle because I was backwards. This is something that could have easily been avoided had there been a rehearsal included but this venue doesn't do that. If you want a rehearsal you have to spend 500 dollars on one. I was told it wasn't needed. I beg to differ. In one of calls my husband and I told the team that enjoying our dinner and not being interrupted while we sat at our sweetheart table was important to us and we were told that would be no issue. Well none of the staff did anything to stop the countless guests that approached our table while we were trying to eat our meals. In fact we had a total of 5 minutes of eating time because no one thought to tell guests to stay seated so we could enjoy our meal like they assured us they would. I had cocktail napkins custom made to be passed with cocktails and appetizers. The coordinator knew this. And yet those napkins were left sitting at the bar and in the end only 50 of the 300 I ordered were even used. Same goes for our programs. They were never handed out or even pointed to. Guests told me that no one was even clearly directing them to the table at our ceremony that had our programs and bubbles for our bubble exit. At one point I was getting ready upstairs when my coordinator came up to me and said that the bride from last night took home the gold easel I reserved and paid extra for to hold our welcome sign. They didn't even notice their large iron easel was missing until I was getting ready. And even then they didn't even offer to reimburse me for their mistake. Who does that? I have been planning my wedding for the last 2 years. I have spent a ridiculous amount of money along the way to ensure that the best vendors are hired so that nothing major would go wrong on the day I spent years planning for. And here we are, only a few days after my wedding has passed, filled with so much regret over this day I put my whole heart into planning. All because the team I hired didn't put nearly as much thought or care into it as I did. Awful.

Our wedding day at Floriana was absolutely SPECTACULAR. From starting the planning process with our coordinators, to finishing our day, the process was absolutely seamless and we could not ask for a better team than the ones at Floriana to depend on during one of the most important day of our lives. The quality of service from the catering staff, to the bartenders, to our day of coordinators were top tier. Our wedding coordinator, Kelsey, was extremely experienced and executed every detail on our day perfectly. She made the pre-planning process completely stress free for us and her attention to detail was flawless. Not to mention, this is the most stunning venue on the northshore. The options are absolutely endless. Rain or shine, Floriana gives you the best of both worlds with its stunning mansion, beautiful gardens, or outdoor tent. The New England weather is never dependable, but the team made sure we had back up options ready to go (though we had the most perfect weather you could ask for). Floriana was the absolute venue of our dreams and we could not feel more fulfilled that we got the absolute most value out of this venue and team. We would absolutely recommend you check out this venue. They will not disappoint! So thank you Floriana, for your stellar service and giving us a day of perfection!

I had a very special night celebrating my elopement inside the Floriana mansion. It was a very smooth and easy process planning a party of 100 guests. I couldn't recommend this venue enough; the entire staff was kind and professional.

We got married at the Hellenic Center in August and we could not have imagined a more perfect day! We went to a wedding here about 6 or 7 years ago, so when we looking at venues we knew we had to check it out. At the time when we made the decision that the Hellenic Center was going to be the place where we tied the knot we met with Deb who does not work there anymore. When we heard that Deb was no longer at the Hellenic Center and it was a new management team we were a little nervous, but the new management team was phenomenal to work with and the entire management change was so smooth. We had the pleasure of working with Sue who was absolutely incredible to work with. She was so easy to work with and communicated so well and so quickly. She truly helped make our day perfect, stress-free, and helped to make it flow with ease! She understood our ideas and decorative ideas, she gave us suggestions along the way, and she was so organized. The Hellenic center is such a beautiful mansion and the grounds are very well-kept up with. We had so many guests tell us that we picked a perfect wedding venue, and we could not agree more! The bridal suites are perfect and offer enough space for large bridal parties. We are so happy that we picked the Hellenic Center!!!

Our wedding at the Hellenic Mansion was an absolute dream. We were married in August on the perfect day and were able to be outside in the tent. It was everything I imagined and so flawlessly coordinated. We did work with an outside planner but the event coordinators were fantastic - very communicative, helpful, and lovely. They were on top of any potential weather/rain plan, helped ease my anxiety about decisions to be made, and made the wedding planning process so fun. We worked with Maggie who helped everything move seamlessly throughout the day. It was honestly the most perfect day at the most perfect venue.

I am so happy we picked this venue for our wedding. It is such a hidden gem! Literally, you might miss it from the road as it is tucked away in the beautiful town of Ipswich. This venue is so beautiful and so affordable for what it is. You don't need lots of decor because the venue is beautiful in itself! There are countless spots for photos and options for ceremony/reception location. The whole wedding planning process was a breeze. We worked with Ashley, who was the best! She was always happy to answer our many questions and was very organized. We loved having in person planning sessions with her. On our actual wedding day, she was so helpful with keeping things running smoothly. It DOWN POURED during our reception and Ashley was calm and decisive during it. I will never forget seeing her soaked as she worked to put the tent siding down to protect our guests from rain. If she was stressed it wasn't apparent to us or our guests. Thank you so much, Ashley, for rolling with the craziness of the weather and keeping calm for us. It was the most perfect day and we couldn't recommend this venue more!

The Hellenic Center was the perfect place for our wedding, the grounds are beautiful and offer so many locations for photos (and ceremonies!), the bridal suite and grooms suite are the perfect place to relax and get ready before the wedding, and the interior ballroom is beautiful. A couple months before our wedding we were informed of a change in management which was a little stressful to hear but we ended up working with Dana and we could not have been happier, she was phenomenal to work with. She made sure all of our decorations were set up beautifully and that the day ran smoothly. Our wedding day also brought pouring rain (which cleared up and we were able to have our outdoor ceremony in the garden!) and Dana was in contact with me as soon she arrived at the venue to let me know how the grounds looked. I can honestly say I was not stressed at all and our wedding day went perfectly. We can't recommend the Hellenic Center enough!

We stumbled upon our wedding venue unexpectedly and were blown away by the grounds. We felt at ease working with this venue as everything was very organized, no hidden fees and contracts were clearly laid out. A few months before our wedding date there was a management switch, however, the new team led by Maggie, did a phenomenal job from our first touch base through the wedding day. We cannot say enough amazing things about Maggie and her attention to detail. Our wedding night was flawless; we are so grateful we got to work with such an amazing team. We cannot recommend this venue enough, for a perfect wedding and stress free night!

If you are looking for your wedding venue, look no further than The Hellenic Center. It is the most stunning, whimsical mansion on the north shore. As soon as we walked in during our first tour, we were blown away by how beautiful the grounds are. There are so many great places for photos as well as different areas for your ceremony. From the large oak tree outside, the garden/veranda, and the beautiful interior, you truly cannot go wrong. The venue is easily accessible but still feels tucked away and private. Midway through our wedding planning process there was a management switch but the new team that came in did a great job taking over and making sure everything went smoothly (and on time!) We are so grateful for the team there and what went into making our wedding the most perfect day. We cannot recommend this venue enough!

We recently got married at the Mansion at the Hellenic Center (June), and still can’t get over how amazing it was (and our guests are still talking about it too)! 
I’ll be as concise as possible. Overall if you want a venue all to yourselves with privacy, the ability to get ready onsite in lovely suites, gorgeous gardens and lush grounds, so many places for unique photos, a stunning mansion that looks impressive from all angles, and a versatile interior, I recommend touring the Mansion at the Hellenic Center. Deb was a true professional and answered all of my questions promptly, and had all the solutions to anything that came up. She was organized during the planning process and kept us on schedule throughout. Everything ran so smoothly and (despite being someone who stresses easily), I didn’t feel stressed at all on our wedding day and we enjoyed ourselves 100%. 
We toured many venues and there is something special about this one.

Beautiful Venue, great price and the best Director of Events, Deb! I researched a lot of wedding venues before deciding on this one. The location, the mansion, the grounds, the bridal suite, the beautiful pictures from other weddings, I knew I had to visit and this was the place for us. The day we toured, we signed our contract, it was the only place we toured but we knew it was our place. Deb was so amazing throughout the planning process, so helpful and organized. She accommodated our requests and every meeting with her gave us the confidence that our wedding day would be amazing. On the day of she was there to help coordinate everything and get our DIY stuff set up, she checked on us and everything ran so smoothly. Our wedding day was perfect, the venue was gorgeous, the weather was amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. Seeing our sneak peak wedding pictures made me SO excited to see the rest and the gorgeous venue in the background is one of the reasons I chose this place. Highly recommend getting married here, it was the perfect wedding day!

Everything was perfect! We had the BEST day ever. Our wedding was beautiful and everything ran so smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue.

There are not enough words for to describe how amazing Deb was! From the moment we first reached out to schedule a tour to the day we got married, she was always professional. She was so helpful when it came to recommendations for a DJ, caterer, and anything else you can think of. Her expertise is very valued. Now the venue, beautiful inside and out. We had our wedding in April and our biggest requirement when picking a venue was we had to like both inside and outside options because we all know the weather is not promising in New England around that time of year. Any bride to be would be lucky to work with Deb and have her (their) special day at the Hellenic Center!

The Hellenic Center was the perfect venue for our wedding. We fell in love with the property the moment we saw it! It is well kept both inside and out. We were a COVID reschedule from September 2020 to September 2021. Deb was easy to work with and accommodating every step along the way! She was responsive and organized and put our minds at ease. Our wedding was everything we could have imagined and more! I would highly recommend this venue!

Even before getting engaged I always knew I wanted to get married at the Hellenic Center, but I was truly blown away at how perfect our wedding day was. Deb did such an amazing job with helping to coordinate everything exactly how we wanted it. With the Canadian border being closed, our guest count ended up being quite a bit different than originally planned, but she was so accommodating and helpful. She kept in touch throughout the months filled with uncertainty and really kept us both at ease. I couldn't recommend Deb and the Hellenic Center enough.

Our coordinator Deb is amazing and stays calm cool and collected during the entire process. She is truly a seasoned professional and made us feel at ease no matter what - even through postponing in the pandemic when no one really knew what was going on. The venue looked beautiful on the day of the wedding and the day couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Everyone on the team made sure our experience was top notch and that little extra care made our day even more special.

Deb was amazing and so accommodating ! My wedding was supposed to be in June 2020. Due to Covid, we had to postpone. I was so fortunate to be able to have a small NYE ceremony with my husband before our postponed party with family, both at the Hellenic. Deb was so wonderful with all communication and went out of her way to make sure our celebration was everything we wanted. I highly recommend!

Hellenic Center & Vinwood was a dream combination for our wedding. Our guests had an amazing time and the entire reception went exactly as we planned. The gorgeous grounds were perfect for our cocktail hour and photos, and the tent was beautiful for dinner & dancing. Our guests kept telling us how much they loved the venue! We had a previous venue cancel on us due to new ownership and we booked the Hellenic Center only two months in advance. Thankfully, Deb jumped in immediately and we felt so confident that she was on top of all of the details! Deb is a gem and surprised us with a bottle of rosé before we left for the night. We can't thank her enough.

Deb is amazing!! Even when we weren’t sure how our wedding was going to be with covid happening, she was always communicating and trying to give us the day we always imagined!! I’m so happy that we chose The Hellenic Center as our reception! Our wedding was everything we imagined and more. All night we kept receiving compliments on how beautiful and perfect the venue was, and I can’t thank Deb enough for that!

We choose the Hellenic Center because of its beauty and because of their events director, Deb. We would not have been able to pull the wedding off without her. The weather turned out to be cold and rainy and we needed to change our entire plan last minute and she made that possible. I would recommend to anyone looking to get married on the northshore to get married here! Thanks Deb!

We got married at the Hellenic Center just 3 weeks ago- in the midst of the chaos of changing covid restrictions, both the Hellenic Center and Vinwood caterers were so wonderful! We had to have our wedding outside under the tent they set up, which I was originally sad about but in the end it was absolutely perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Deb is a superhero in regular clothes- she went above and beyond both in the planning process and on our actual wedding day. I would tell anyone to get married here!
