Folino Estate

of every detail from your planning meetings and can handle any last minute changes easily. The team works to understand your vision and executes it perfectly. Lauren and Stephanie truly made the entire day run seamlessly and honestly are just wonderful people to work with. They are incredibly genuine and truly care about the event just as much as you do. The whole venue planning team is dedicated to your event and excited to see everything come together. They will go over every detail with you, by booking with Folino you essentially get a dedicated wedding planner without paying the price for an outside hire. The food is phenomenal, our guests raved about every course. The location is stunning. There are so many areas onsite to take photos, each with a different backdrop. The grape vines and greenery were perfect for our wedding in May! We look back at our photos and can't believe they were all taken at one venue. It truly seems as if we were transported to small Tuscan villa. We cannot wait to come back to Folino to celebrate our anniversaries! Thank you all! - Sacha & Angelo

ful backdrop to our day. Everything about working with Folino was smooth and stress-free. A huge part of that was thanks to Lauren, our venue planner. She was truly amazing—so helpful, attentive, and organized every step of the way. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly, and we felt completely at ease knowing she had everything handled. She truly made our day unforgettable. We are so grateful to Lauren and the Folino team for making our wedding day more perfect than we could have imagined!

stunning views but Folino and their staff were so professional, organized and kind. Our venue planner Emily from the get go was incredibly helpful and stayed on top of every little detail, not even missing a beat when she had a wedding of her own to plan and attend, which helped prevent any stress or worry for myself throughout the whole process. Everyone involved made our dream day come to life! If you're looking for a venue and a great staff to work with from the planners, to servers and bartenders, Folino is the place of you!

beautiful estate and receiving (the start of) excellent communication from the team, we said 'yes' to the venue. From start to finish, the event staff was incredible. Super informative, great communication, etc. A true team of rockstars (shout out to Morgan, Faith, and Stephany!). We live in FL and the team made it so easy to work with and plan from states away. Food tasting and wine tasting for the wedding was fantastic. Use of bridal suite during the wedding day was wonderful and the team checked in throughout to make sure we were all good. The ceremony and reception seemed to come together flawlessly - loved seeing the final vision come to life. We appreciate the team accommodating our 'surprise' in the evening (Irish dancers!) as well. We heard nothing but wonderful things from our guests about everything. Would 1000% recommend Folino for any event, especially weddings. At least go and check them out for some delicious food and great wines :)

ul for future brides. Planning: During the planning process, I started to regret my decision a bit. First, there was a lot of turnover initially, which led to some miscommunication. They are very hands off with planning and you don’t get to meet with a coordinator until about 60 days before the wedding. The turnaround time for email responses often took a week or so, which was frustrating. Tasting: We were limited to a small number of things to try. It ended up being a bit dysfunctional. We had emailed our choices but some of them came out completely wrong. Thankfully Nicole took care of that and they ended up making us everything on our list. I was a bit nervous about how the food was going to be at the wedding, considering the poor quality of things at the tasting, but it ended up being okay. We chose chicken parm and crab cakes as our entrees. Day of: Be prepared to have someone set up your decor. For our Saturday wedding, we could only get in at 10 AM on the day of. Folino will not set anything up, or clean up the decor, but they did light all of my candles closer to the ceremony which was helpful. My photographer acted more like my day of coordinator than the coordinator assigned to my wedding did. The ceremony site was beautiful. The pictures from my day are amazing because of the scenery. Tables/chair placement was set up exactly as planned in our prior meeting. My parents and my husband/me were assigned a waitress who checked on us throughout the night-Mary was absolutely amazing! We were all so impressed. She was so kind and attentive to us, made sure our food came out hot if we were busy mingling, and always made sure we had a drink! Mary had a plate of our cocktail hour apps and pizza waiting at our table when we sat down for dinner. That’s the only way I was able to try those things since I was so busy! Bridal suite: This was pretty much useless, other than giving me a place to hide before the ceremony as guests were arriving. You can’t use it until 1 PM, so you can’t get ready in it. The door doesn’t lock including the bathroom door which is a door to the hallway. They did provide a small charcuterie board and a bottle of wine to have right before the ceremony which was a nice treat! Bartenders: They were phenomenal! Unfortunately I didn’t catch their names, but my guests still are talking about how good (and strong!) the drinks were. They killed it with my signature drinks! Extra perks: My guests really enjoyed having the patio. This was great for those who don’t really like to be on the dance floor. They had comfy patio furniture outside and then we also supplied a cigar bar for our guests. They also enjoyed the pre-ceremony wine tasting. I did not personally see it, but from what I was told, it was very easy for them to try several different wines in that short amount of time. Nothing compares to their margarita, pizza, so everyone, including myself, really loved the pizza station during cocktail hour. If you asked me before the wedding, if I would recommend Folino to future brides, I honestly would have said no. However, after the wedding, I can now say that I would definitely recommend (if you have a planner or if you’re type A / can stay on top of your planning)! We would do anything to relive our wedding day one more time!
