Floriana

nd everything went very smoothly. And communications were responded to quickly and effectively for multiple months leading up to the wedding!

and very smooth. Our wedding coordinator, Brittany, is an absolute rock star. She was attentive, trustworthy, creative, high-energy, and genuinely the nicest person I've ever met. This day would not have gone so well without her. The entire day went spectacularly. The food was delicious, and every one of our guests raved about it. The staff was so kind and attentive. They really made sure my now husband and I were taken care of the entire day. It's a beautiful place to get married, and I am so glad that I did.

free. We couldn't have done it without her!

ery 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!

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!

ive throughout the months leading up to the wedding. The day of was seamless - the getting ready suites were awesome and allowed myself and all my bridesmaids to get ready comfortably. We worked with Brittany who knew my vision prior and executed it! I felt the day of the wedding that everything was taken care of and I did not need to worry about details or that things were the way we planned. Brittany checked in on myself and my husband multiple times to see if we needed any food, drinks, and how things were going! Definitely recommend!!

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. 

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!

6 and i have no notes. 🤍

g 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.

t 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! ❤️

hey 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!

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.

t 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!

s 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!

ic 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!!!

ooking at wedding venues!

ack 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.

ould 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!

ue enough; the entire staff was kind and professional.

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!!!

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.

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 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!
