The Estate at Florentine Gardens

rkout during my short weekend home. The second I arrived at the Florentine Gardens and was greeted by Tom, I knew this was going to be my venue. I didn't even want to go to another venue but my mom and fiance forced me to, haha. Tom was professional, honest and patient. He worked with us to secure a date and did everything he could so that we were comfortable with the price. He is a family man, who runs a family owned business and that is clearly shown through the respect and service he provides his guests. Tom, you run a PHENOMENAL venue. I personally don't understand how anyone can choose a different venue. Once we secured our date I was put in contact with Sal, who is their in house DJ/MC, of whom we went with and I could not have been ANY HAPPIER with this decision. I went to Sal for everything. He was so quick to respond, he was honest with me, he chatted on the phone with me and answered any questions I had. He made sure I was happy and comfortable with every decision, he made me feel special and excited. I genuinely looked forward to any time I had a call scheduled with Sal. Sal and his team (Jason, videographer Shar, DJ Rob) had everyone up on the dance floor the whole time. I didn't even provide him with a song list! I just told him the vibe I was looking for and he just new every song to play and was awesome on the mic! All of my friends and family cannot get over the level of engagement from the guests all night long. It was so special. Closer to my date I was in close contact with Ciro. I seriously felt like I was planning a big party with a long lost best friend. Ciro was so much fun to talk to, he made sure all my questions were answered and helped me cross anything off my list I needed to. He made sure my parents were comfortable, that we had the right drinks, food, etc. We texted, he answered me quick, he made sure he was always available and that I was happy. When I was on the phone with him I said whatever he recommends for food (cocktail hour & dinner), do it. And I would not change 1 thing. Every single one of his recommendations were outstanding. It was just so much fun going over the menu with him, he even added in a whole bunch of goodies ;) Just wow, it was such a great experience. And God Bless my bridal attendant Kerry. She had a way of always being right by my side but in the least overwhelming way possible. She always had a fresh Titos & Seltzer for me, she made sure I was rotating with water, eating, comfortable. She even helped me pee. Kerry you are a saint and you are such a special kind person and I was so lucky to have you as my attendant! My wedding night could not have gone any more perfect and I would not change 1 thing. I honestly didn't even feel like I had to plan anything! I was never stressed for 1 second! It was the most seamless, fun, exciting, happy time of my entire life, and it wouldn't have been that way without the Florentine Gardens and their staff. I am sitting here crying writing my review because of how sad I am that this is over, but how happy I am that I've chosen this venue and met the best family, the Florentine Gardens family. I hope you all get to experience what I did. Thank you so much to the Florentine Gardens!!!!

on on this website during a random search and reading good reviews, I am hoping our post will be the words of wisdom a bride needs when trying to figure out what venue to choose. From the second we booked at Florentines we were taken care of. Denise was our "contact" through our almost two year engagement but honestly I would prefer to call her a friend. No request too ridiculous and no question was too silly. She took the time to understand our vision and made it come to life one step, email, and phone call at a time. Everything was "no problem", and her response time to my crazy one liner emails, especially as we got closer, was so fast thorough. You can tell she loves what she does and I felt better and more relaxed each time we spoke. I truly don't know what I would have done without her. Now for the day of the wedding, my Husband and I had the place for the day and from the time my girls, mother, mother-in-law, and niece got there, we were taken care of, and that is all due to the amazing bridal attendance Layla. She not only couldn't have been nicer but it was like she knew what we needed before we needed it. She took care of everyone and everything ALL DAY LONG. I truly don't know what I would have done without her (everything down to helping me pee once I had already gotten dressed), all with a smile on her face and ensuring me nothing was a problem and she was happy to help. She was not only so sweet but is amazing at what she does. She was checking in on my husband and me all night long to make sure we were okay but finding the PERFECT balance between not being annoying but making sure we felt taken care of. She was truly a fairy god mother all day. Sal Travis entertainment and the House Band. They were incredible. Sal took time to sit with us many times in the months and weeks leading up to our Wedding to insure everything was as we wanted. Everything from how to pronounce the names of our bridal party to song choice, to the flow of the evening. He was meticulous, helpful, and accommodating. Our guests danced all night and we had so many people come up to us telling us how wonderful they were (even one of my friends who is getting married said she was upset they already booked a band because the house band was so great!). My husband and I chose (last minute which Sal gave us no problem with) to do a wrap up video, our videographer Shar was amazing and we were emailed the link to our wrap up video by the time we got back to the hotel room that night. It was amazing and captured everything we could want in a perfect 4.5 minute video rather the those long movies you will never watch again. The Estate at Florentine Gardens truly made ALL of our wedding dreams come true and I know that is due to the dedicated team of people that make up that amazing place. We thank them a million times over for the most special day of our lives.

ila is every bride's dream attendant and took care of me from the moment I walked through the door to the moment I walked out. From changing my shoes, being on stand by with a glass of water during photos, making sure my hair and make up was fresh and being my voice when I was over whelmed to packing my bags and making sure I always had my favorite drink in hand, Sheila made it her top priority for me to feel as relaxed as humanly possibly on my wedding day. I truly don't know what I would have done with out her and I can not thank her enough for her hard work and dedication to me on my wedding day; I could seriously go on for days about her! You never know what will happen on your wedding day, but Jorge was on top of every moment making sure it was going according to plan while filling us in on what would be happening throughout the day. When the evening was over and the shuttles came to transport everyone to the hotel, my husband and I were unprepared to leave. Within seconds, Jorge offered to drive us himself; no need to rush or panic with him near by. It is accommodating acts of kindness like this that make this venue so deserving of a 5 star rating. By the end of this entire year of planning, Ciro feels more like an old friend than an event consultant. Always greeting us with a hug and grabbing us coffee a food, we always felt like we were walking into someone's home, not just a venue. Ciro took the stress of planning off our shoulders. We knew everything would go as perfectly as it did with his guidance and expertise. Whenever he popped in to say hi and make sure I was doing okay, any anxiety I was experiencing would immediately go away; he has such a calming presence and genuinely cared about how my husband and I were doing through out the day. Not only is the staff amazing here, but the food is out of this world. All our guests were extremely pleased with their dishes and there was not a single empty glass throughout the night. If you are reading this and thinking about having your wedding somewhere else, I HIGHLY recommend you re-consider and make the right choice and host your wedding at the Florentine Gardens. Again, I can go on for days about how happy we were with our choice to have our wedding here. Thank you to every one at venue for being a part of our very special day, we will never forget it!

execute, resulting in a truly spectacular wedding for me and my wife! The attention to detail was superb - it was clear they cared about our wishes and worked tirelessly to make them happen! The ceremony area was BEAUTIFUL! It felt as though we were in a fairy tell setting. Our bridal attendant Kerry was extremely attentive - we loved her! We decided to use Sal Travis and the house band for our wedding festivities, and they were absolute pros! Our guests constantly raved about how exceptional their performance was, and it made our reception one for the ages. Thank you, Florentine Gardens!!

ires and made each one a reality. Sal Travis worked with us to create entertainment that was beyond what our guests had expected, and we are still receiving compliments on the house band! They were so awesome that we have a few friends who are engaged wanting to find a way to book them for their own weddings! I had Kerry as a bridal attendant. She was so wonderful beyond what any words could say. She was patient and went out of her way to take any and all pressure off of me. This included carrying whatever drinks I wanted from location to location during pictures, running to grab my flip flops and carrying my heels when my feet hurt, and making sure I didn't lift one finger. Our day honestly wouldn't have been the same without her. Lastly, Shar worked with us as our videographer. Our wedding video was stunning and perfectly captured every emotion and highlight of our day in its candid style. In addition to all of the wonderful workers who assisted us, the food was phenomenal. Simply put, I cannot imagine a more beautiful venue and more talented professionals than those found at the Florentine Gardens. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone looking to have the perfect wedding day!

pen when and how, so I did not need to think at all about the day.

tine Gardens, we met with Jason. He was so friendly from the start, wanting to get to know you as a couple. Right off the bat he makes you feel like you are his best friend! Also, you could tell how passionate he is about his job and wanting to make you the happiest bride and groom. He takes his time to show you the whole estate and the grounds, answering any questions you need. He is quick to answer any emails or phone calls anytime of the day. There is no question that you should hesitate to ask because Jason will do anything to make sure you get the things you envision on your wedding. During one of the first meetings he got to know us and our love for our dog. He made sure that our dog could be a part of our day. Jason even went out of his way to get us an ice sculpture of our initials for the cocktail hour, as a gift from him. The rest of the staff such as Jeff and the bridal attendant Laila (who I cannot begin to thank enough) were amazing from the start. At one point I was having a problem with my dress, and the next moment Laila pulled out a sewing kit and fixed the problem. They were true professionals and were awesome from the start. The food was phenomenal (especially the cocktail hour) and the service was impeccable. The calls from our guests have been endless. I would tell anyone who has the opportunity to have their wedding here, do it!! Do not hesitate it will be the best day of the beginning of your new life as a married couple. Having a wedding at The Estate at Florentine Gardens is a dream come true! We hope we get to be a guest at a wedding here someday and can experience the venue again!

millenial, I posted most of my questions on Facebook! Right away someone responded advising me to check out the Estate at Florentine Gardens. I e-mailed the Estate and Maria responded promptly. Before we knew it we had an appointment. I headed there with my fiance and parents. During the tour of the Estate I could envision all the perfect photos with those gorgeous chandeliers in the background, photos near the lush gardens and that winding staircase...the photo options were endless! Then, that cocktail hour! I’m a huge wine and cheese fan and they offer a table with many different cheeses paired with the perfect wine. The groomsmen and bridal suites are over the top beautiful! Fast forward (due to character limitations), visiting a few more venues (total waste of time), we were sold! I sent Maria a ton of questions and she answered them all. She guided me through the entire process. Every wish, my now husband and I had, she granted. The Estate at Florentine Gardens was one of the easiest and most pleasant vendors I worked with. I felt like Maria did everything to ensure that. We booked Sal as well as our videographer, DJ, photo booth and that entire theater package! Sal, the in house vendor, was easy to reach and plan everything with! I wasn’t sure how I felt about the smoke for our first dance, but ended up loving it-especially in the photos. Let Sal work his magic and you won’t be disappointed! Our guests raved about the wrap up video he was able to put together and display at the end of the night! Yes, that magical wedding day. Maria and Sal granted our wish in every way-even with the weather! My husband and I were treated like a king and queen for the day. The bridal attendant, Isabel, was unbelievable! It’s like she could read my mind. When I felt hot during photos, she magically appeared with water. She carried my train everywhere I went. She served my husband and I tons of food. The Florentine won’t let you go hungry or thirsty! Each of our parents even had a personal attendant during the entire evening. The Florentine thinks of it all so you can kick back and enjoy the wedding! I highly recommend the Florentine. They have the best service, food, gardens and all! It’s your day. If I can suggest one thing, splurge here! For flowers I highly recommend River Dell Flowers. He’s reasonable, personable and has great arrangements!

sponsive, attentive to details, helped make sure that we were on track, and even helped us with aspects of our day outside the normal course of planning. Our bridal attendant Layla simply put was amazing the entire day and there is not enough that we can say about the level of service and attentiveness she provided. Finally, Sal Travis, DJ Rob, and Videographer Shar did an awesome job of ensuring our reception was the celebration and party we imagined and capturing all of the moments throughout the night. We can't recommend Florentine Gardens and the entire team/family more for your event.

end hosting any type of event at Florentine Gardens, especially a wedding! We still have people raving that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and how amazingly delicious the food was and of course how much food there was. It was never ending! We couldn’t stop talking about how professional and magnificent the staff was. My husband and I worked side by side with Maria planning our entire wedding. She was so helpful and completely made us feel like we were family. She was one of the nicest people we have ever worked with! I can also say the same for Sal Travis of Sal Travis Entertainment. Sal was so down to earth and always available to answer all of our questions right away! The House Band was phenomenal and so was the videographer, Evan. We shared a bridal attendant; Layla and she exceeded all of our expectations. She went above and beyond her job to make sure this is the best day of our lives. Not only did my husband and I feel like there was 20 of her, she was even so attentive to all of our family and guests, they felt like there was 20 of her as well! Jeffery was our Maitre D’ and he kept everything running on schedule! He was also phenomenal and always on point. The entire staff makes you feel like you are part of the family. We had the easiest experience planning our wedding because of this venue and the people who work there! I honestly cannot stop thinking about how breathtaking our wedding was and how grateful we are for the ENTIRE staff at Florentine Gardens!

We ended up visiting other venues throughout our search, but ended up back at Florentine with both of our families and we are so happy we did! Denise and Tom made choosing FG such an easy decision. My husband and I have said numerous times that we could not have planned a better wedding day if we tried. From the moment we arrived at the venue on the day of our wedding, we were met by our bridal attendant Layla and maitre d George. These two went above and beyond to make sure that our day went as smoothly as possible. Layla helped with everything from bustling my dress, making sure we always had a cold beverage in hand, helped sew up one of my bridesmaids dresses, and overall did everything she could to make sure we were having the best night ever. Even our photographer commented on how much he loved working at FG because the service is outstanding, even for vendors! Numerous guests commented on how much they loved the cocktail hour and food in general! Even we got to enjoy our own abundant spread in the bridal suite prior to joining the rest of our guests for the remainder of the cocktail hour, which was awesome as we got to try all of our favorites! Now, if you're even considering booking The House Band, do it!!!! I cannot stress this enough- THEY WERE AMAZING! The dance floor was jam packed from beginning to end and Sal did an excellent job of getting everyone on the dance floor and keeping the party going all night. Florentine Gardens, thank you for everything! I can only hope to come back as a guest one day!

nd even through today), Maria and the team at The Florentine made us feel welcomed and appreciated. We looked at many venues just to get an idea of what was around in the area. As sad as it is in 2019, not every venue is welcoming and accommodating to a same-sex couple like Maria and the team here was. Maria worked closely with us to make sure every detail was met and was always making sure we were satisfied and that there was nothing the venue could do to improve. On our wedding day, everyone went above and beyond to make sure that our expectations were exceeded. We were checked on regularly by Maria and management. We had the privilege of having Laila as our attendant, which was a dream come true. Laila was with us from start to finish and was there for us with ANYTHING we needed. She is a saint and we wish that everyone could be as lucky as us to have her as their attendant. There was a point when our florist was late and our photos were being held up (not Florentine’s fault) and Laila saw how stressed we were getting. Laila asked us how she could help and offered to make boutonniere’s while we waited for the ones we ordered. Within minutes Laila was back with beautiful pieces that we were able to use in order to start our photos. We could go on and on about all she did for us throughout the day. Throughout the rest of the night Laila catered to us so much and we felt like true celebrities. Part of the reason why we will always have such fond memories of this day is because of you, Laila- so thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you did. We do not regret anything about our wedding day and we highly recommend that you check out this venue if you are looking for a stellar time. Thank you to the Florentine Gardens family for being so great at what you do! -P.J. and Freddy (May 2019)

.. ! So Guess we can just say, absolutely the best of the best all around. All of our guest alone with ourselves Have never been to a better wedding ever. THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE. The Schiavone’s

s a catering hall/wedding factory, & knowing my love of flowers! He had been there years ago for a retirement party. The MOMENT we walked in the door I knew I was done looking. Justin & I smiled at each other every time we caught eyes, as Maria took us on a tour. I could tell by his face that he was done looking too! Maria was absolutely incredible from the first second she shook our hands. You could tell that Florentine Gardens, run by her family, was her second home, and that she truly loved it and her job so much! The entire venue literally felt like it became OUR second home. It was a truly magical place. NOTHING like the typical wedding "catering halls" that we have all been to so often. Florentine Gardens was TRULY a dream for us throughout our entire planning process. We went to their expo and met all of their recommended vendors, and tried their food, which was AMAZING. From their expo, we ended up hiring their entertainment company and band run by Sal Travis. Sal Travis was literally incredible to work with... we cannot speak highly enough about him, his videographer, Shar, OR his band. Shar did a wonderful short wrap up video for us which we ADORE, along with longer videos which we will watch over and over again to remember this day! She truly captured all of the emotion, special-ness, and fun of the day. People tell us on a daily basis how much they LOVED our wedding, the food, the ambiance, the music & how they felt like it was straight out of Hallmark movie or Disney fairytale !! (super high praise, in my opinion!) My husband's most important part of the wedding planning was the food. His family and half of mine are Italian - super hard food critics! And they all RAVE about the food. People took their entrees to-go because they were so full from cocktail hour but the entree was SO good they couldn't leave it!! They even came around and offered seconds, of any of the dinner options, to each table!!! My most important part of the wedding planning was the prettiness and the music. Florentine Gardens was absolutely STUNNING that day, and every time I've ever seen it. And the band was AMAZING, thanks to Sal Travis. The dance floor was packed ALL night. Our bridal attendance Kerry was THE BEST & absolutely incredible to have with us that night! She even literally FORCED us to sit down & eat (Thank god!!!). She also had to sew me into my dress at one point when the clasp broke due to a failed lift attempt during photos, haha. I never worried though, knowing I had Kerry to help us make sure the night ran smoothly! &it did!!! Our Maitre D' named Jeff was also literally fantastic! He was super helpful in making sure our timing worked out & that we were ready for the speeches, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc!!! He also met each of our parents at the door when they arrived and gave them a server at cocktail hour to make them feel extra special and at home!!! Kerry, Maria, Sal & our Maitre D' Jeff are people that Justin & I will never ever forget because they truly made all of our wedding dreams come true. I cannot speak highly enough about this whole experience. Our ONLY regret was not hiring ALL of their recommended vendors!!! So please, TRUST them with their vendors.. they know best!!

amazing. I barely had to decorate anything because the gardens are absolutely stunning. The flowers really do speak for themselves. The food is exquisite and the guests could not stop talking about it! Most importantly, the staff at The Estate at Florentine Gardens were exceptional! They were absolutely amazing. Maria made everything really easy for my husband and I. She was always responsive to any questions we had and she explained everything for every step of the way. Sal was so friendly and was probably the best MC for the wedding. The services provided for music and ambiance were also great. Jason was an excellent maitre d during the wedding day. The wedding day is such a hectic day for all to-be-wed couples but Jason made sure everything was perfectly in order. Lastly, Isabel was the sweetest, greatest bridal assistant that I was so lucky to have for our special day. Honestly, the staff were just so great that it's no wonder that they've been working together for more than 10-15 years!! They are like family and they welcome you like their own family members. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VENUE TO EVERYBODY!

timely fashion. Sal was great to work with also. From the moment we met him, his sincere desire to provide us with the best effects and make our day as special as possible was evident. And boy did he and his team deliver. If you can do the wrap up video, please do it. The videographer Evan provided us with a video that we cannot stop watching. It was amazing and truly wow’ed our guests. The staff was amazing and displayed such professionalism and happiness for us and showed our guests a great time. Leading up to the wedding and planning the wedding with the staff was great. But the day of, my bridal attendant Layla, was AMAZING. She exceeded everyones expectations, especially mine. Not only was she attentive to my needs but also that of my wedding party. She calmed my nerves and showed such decorum and professionalism. I actually met her at a visit we made to the venue. I needed assistance with my clothing and although she was setting up for another wedding she stopped to help me. Our wedding party was impressed by her ability to cater to all of us with genuine care. In addition to the service, the food was great and we were grateful we used the bridal suite. We are well pleased with the service provided by the Florentine Gardens staff and hope if you get the chance you will book them for your wedding. You won’t regret it. Thank you to the Florentine Garden Staff.

Maria she was just spectacular, she was so knowledgeable, caring, honest and made our signing so easy, especially after we saw how grand and beautiful the Estate is. The just re-did the cocktail hour room and it is just so classy and gorgeous, the ballroom is nothing short of magnificent, the bridal suite and groomsmen suite makes getting ready so much fun (non stop party), and finally the outdoor garden is literally everything! Maria was with us every step of the way when it came to planning, she was only ever an email away for EVERYTHING and her response was always prompt! Also BOOK THE HOUSE BAND, especially if you want to dance the whole night! They totally rock, we had not one person in their seats unless they were eating the food! Sal did SO much for us and was so awesome. He helped us pick out all of our music, was the best MC had the crowd going the whole time and the lighting in the ballroom was all him and was perfect! He really knows what he is doing and is an absolute pleasure to work with! In the package we booked with Sal we also had a Videographer who we didn't know we needed until we saw what he did. Evan made the most amazing video we have ever seen, literally a wrap up of the entire day that had our first dance playing in the back. At the very end of the night they played this for us and our guests and it made the day even more special, they email the video that night to you and I have been watching it at least twice a day, it is something we will cherish forever as we grow older together. I also cannot forget Layla my bridal attendant, she did EVERYTHING. She was with me and the girls from 8:30am and didn't leave until after 12:30am. She made sure I ate and drank water, my bustle actually ended up breaking and she helped me with my dress the entire night, helped me all during pictures and just was the nicest person ever about everything. Not only was she so amazing to me but also for my bridesmaids, husband and his groomsmen. At the end of the night I told her I wouldn't have been able to do the day without her. I cannot forget our Maitre d, Jeffery and the entire staff that made the ceremony and night so smooth and gave the best service! Lastly HOLY COW the FOOD, if you want the most amazing cocktail hour, dinner, dessert please just book Florentine Gardens now. The entire night our guests were coming up to us saying this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding, and this is coming from over 200 guests including big Irish/Italian families. In summary BOOK Florentine Gardens if you want to have the most beautiful, fun, classy, and spectacular wedding of your life!

e than we dreamed of and that’s thanks to Denise, Jeffery and Kerry! Working with Denise from day one we clicked! She’s sweet, down to earth , energetic and the spunkiest blonde you’ll ever meet! She accommodated all our needs from day one! We ended up with a large Italian-American wedding with 300+ guests and the team made it seem like a walk in the park! Creating our menu was difficult because ALL OF THEIR FOOD IS DELICIOUS!!! 2 weeks later and we still have guests raving about all the food from cocktail hour to the donuts on the way out! We chose chateaubriand , Parmesan encrusted chicken and sea bass in miso glaze and every single dish was to die for!! The staff even offered seconds to tables or to try another dish they didn’t have and the crowd went wild!! As the bride and groom we could choose 1 entree , a duet or trio— WHATTTT! The day of Denise Jeffery and Kerry were all waiting when we pulled up to greet us and our bridal party! Denise took control of all vendors and the kitchen ,Jeffery kept the bridal party in check and on time and Kerry well everyone loved Kerry the bridal attendant who kept us with a drink and food always in hand! The bridal suite was soo much fun and we were already well fed before cocktail hour! Oh and cocktail hour and Vientiane hour ALL THE COURSES WERE BROUGHT TO MY HUSBAND AND I!! For cocktail hour we sat with our feet up in the bridal suite sampling every station ! For dessert we didn’t need to leave the main ballroom- all of the desserts were brought right to us! This was a night we wish we could relieve every Saturday night ! We love our family at The Estate at Florentine Gardens ! xxoo

re looking for - indoor/outdoor cocktail hour complimented by a spacious and bright ballroom and gorgeous onsite gardens for pictures! Beyond the beautiful venue, we felt we were welcomed into a family and they were going to take care of every detail with their years of experience! Florentine Gardens did not disappoint! Working with Maria and Ciro during the planning process was effortless. Ciro guided us through their extensive menu options and was even able to help us build custom cocktail hour stations to fit with our cultures! The maitre d’, Jeff was attentive the entire night and ensured that everything ran smoothly between the band, our speeches, dances, etc. we also can’t forget our bridal attendant, Sheyla, who was there for us from the moment we got to the venue for pictures through the end of the night ensuring we had a drink (or water) in hand and everything we needed was covered. We also worked with Sal and his team for our lighting, wrap up and full video as they know the venue inside out. The wrap up video blew away our expectations and the best part of it all was that our guests got to view it that same evening with us. The videographer Evan and the rest of the staff were able to catch every single detail so we will never forget this special day. Lastly, the food and drinks - not only does this venue have the perfect grounds and staff but their food is AMAZINGLY delicious and our friends and family can’t stop raving about it! The day after our wedding we stopped by the estate to pick-up some details and were given trays of food from our cocktail hour and wedding cake extra. We had a re-do of the wedding dinner that next day :) Florentine Gardens was the perfect venue for our wedding day!

they made us feel like one of them From the moment we booked our wedding with them two years ago! If you are not only looking to be the only bride but the only event the night of your wedding, than The Estate at Florentine Gardens is where you need to be! Anything we asked for and wanted they were able to give us! Maria Daidone, who was incharge of our wedding is a one of a kind! Maria forms a relationship with all of her brides that makes you think your the only bride she’s working with because she is always available and honest whether is be a random email, phone call or occasional visit to the venue, we were taken care of! I have to thank Maria for allowing my wedding planning process to be seamless and organized, even if there was a question that really didn’t have much to do with the catering end of our wedding, she would answer it for me! Our wedding day July 5, 2019 was truly perfect and one of a kind thanks to The Estate at Florentine Gardens! We had ourselves a wedding like no other because of this venue! The cocktail hour was not missing a single thing from the ice sculptures, Moscow mule bar, and mozzarella guy to the different cultural selections of food! But let’s not forget the truffle Mac and cheese, baby lamb chops (that I insisted on having because they are my favorite) and champagne greeting for guests who arrived early! Now for the rest of our perfect wedding, what other wedding have you been to where the staff comes around and offers seconds of your main entree? The florentine does this and our wedding guests are still talking about this! One of our biggests concerns was we wanted to make sure our guests were well taken care of and they by far were! From making sure they always had a drink, to the multiple bars never being packed and their dinner napkins always being neatly folded when they arrived back to their seat! Let’s not forget the completely personalized menu that Maria sat down with us to create weeks before our wedding to ensure all food options were exactly what we liked and our guests would enjoy, even the marinades were hand picked by us! And the exceptional Viennese hour had anything from chocolate covered fruits and zeppolis to waffle cone ice cream and hand rolled cigars by the Arthur Avenue cigar guy made right on the spot! Let me not forget Jeffery who ran the show for us that evening and made sure everything ran smoothly, all of our wants and needs were met and that we did not miss a single thing from our wedding! Jeffery was professional and friendly, my husband and I did not have to stress about a single thing! Of course Leila, my bridal attendant was hands down the most caring attentive bridal attendant there has to be out there! She went above and beyond to ensure myself and bridesmaids were taken care of at all times, She made sure we ate quickly before anything else, kept us on time and even bustled my gown while I was dancing on the dance floor! She would bring me water when I didn’t even have to ask for it and made me feel so comfortable, she even sewed my dress that had torn a little bit! And let’s not forget Sal Travis and the house band for a well entertained evening (he will get his own review on the knot)! Thank you All for a perfect wedding!

Working with Ciro for the year was amazing. I know they service many couples and clients, but he always treated us like our wedding was the most important thing going on. His suggestions for food selection and input on vendors was a huge help. Every interaction we had with him felt like working with a great friend and a true professional. He was crucial in making our wedding spectacular. Sal Travis and his entertainment team made my wedding so much fun! Transitions and flow of events were great and my guests were on the dance floor having fun immediately. His videographer, Evan, captured the best parts of our day and impressed guests by showing our wrap up video of our wedding at the end of the night. George, the Director of Operations, stunned us over the amazing organization and production of events. He is a master at what he does. And we can't forget the most perfect human and bridal attendant Kerry. She anticipated every single one of our needs and made sure as the bride and groom we enjoyed ourselves just as much as our guests. I am so happy I went with their suggested vendors because everyone worked in harmony like a well oiled machine with no slip ups or issues what so ever. The food from cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert was amazing. The viennese table shocked my guests once again over the amazing selection and presentation. It was a show stopper! The picturesque venue, team, and recommended vendors exceeded any and all expectations I had. I can't thank them enough for all they have done to make my wedding the happiest day of my life. I'm really going to miss working with them.

. He truly made us feel like our wedding was the only wedding he had on his mind when we talked with him in person, on the phone, or via email. Every question we asked, he not only answered but also went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was the greatest night of our lives. Everything we asked for was perfectly set up and we enjoyed having him be such a presence during our wedding night, even signing our guest book! Not only did he make sure to be such a presence, but every member of the team did, too. Sal Travis Entertainment kept our entire party on the dance floor the entire night, even when they took a break! Sal was so amazing to work with and it felt like we were talking to someone we knew for many years. Again, every question and wondering we had was not only answered by Sal, but he gave us endless suggestions to make sure we kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! We could not imagine our wedding night without Sal introducing us and The House Band singing every song we suggested and throwing in songs we love without us even telling them. But I’m not surprised because when we met with Sal he said he knew the type of music we wanted, and he surpassed our expectations, even playing some Irish tunes for our family during dinner! The House Band felt like a part of the party even making their way onto the dance floor and singing amongst the crowd! Our videographer Shar, also made us feel so incredibly loved. From the minute she arrived in the afternoon to the second we left the venue, she captured every possible second of our day. At the end of the night, we were given the most beautiful wrap up video that made us cry the next morning and we realized again how lucky we were to have had such a perfect day. We will cherish that wedding wrap up video forever and show it to everyone! We would never be able to forget the most amazing bridal attendant, Layla. She is an angel on earth. Not only did she make sure we were okay the entire night, she arranged a huge spread of food from the cocktail hour to be set up in the bridal suite post cocktail hour, since we didn’t want to miss a minute of interaction with our guests. She made sure we always had a drink, even bringing a glass of water onto the dance floor without me even asking because she wanted to make sure I wasn’t thirsty! She anticipated all my needs before I even knew them, and for that I am forever grateful. Our Matrie’d Jeff, was so amazing to work with, too. From the minute he met us off the party bus, until we got on the shuttles at the end of the night he made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. He checked in with us at every part of the meal, and anything we needed, he had done within 2-3 minutes. It was almost unbelievable! We truly felt so lucky to have him as a part of our wedding night, and our guests even commented on how incredible he was coordinating the entrances and impeccable service throughout the night. Now onto the food, wow! It was so delicious. When we met with Ciro he gave us amazing suggestions - and everyone commented on how delicious not only the cocktail hour was, but also the entire dinner! Now I feel like we could go on forever, but the bottom line is our wedding was so perfect and that was thanks to all the people listed and the staff at Florentine Gardens! We worked and talked with Ciro and Sal, for so so many months that when we went back to pick up our stuff from the night the next day, I almost felt a bit sad that I didn’t know when we would see them again! We feel so lucky that our paths crossed and we got to know you all, and cannot wait to see you again! We truly had the night of our lives and we can’t wait to be back as guests someday, not only to enjoy, but to see all you amazing people again. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts we are forever grateful for the most irreplaceable, unforgettable, and perfectly tailored to us day and night! You are all wonderful people and we hope to see you again soon!

e and we’re blown away by the band immediately. Needless to say, on the day of our wedding the entertainment was absolutely flawless. The band is comprised of such amazing talent from singers to sax to trumpet players and so on. Not only are they incredibly gifted musicians, they truly know how to perform and get the guests involved. They were fully engaged on the dance floor throughout the night and full of energy. We received so many compliments from guests for weeks after the wedding. We even had some guests looking to book the band for their weddings/events. If there was ever something that the band could not play, which was almost nonexistent, there was a DJ as part of the entertainment package as well which was a nice touch. On top of it all, Sal was an amazing MC and truly made our wedding incredible. He was so accommodating and smooth, even when my husband changed the entrance music the day before the wedding. Florentine Gardens and Sal can handle any challenge that is thrown at them no matter what, seamlessly. Absolute professionals.

but I knew immediately I had to get married at The Estate. I found myself comparing little things at the other venues like the color of their drapes or their carpets and when I brought my fiancé back to see The Estate, that was that, we both knew nothing would compare. We cannot say enough about how every single person that works there makes you feel great but we worked closely with Maria and Sal and they truly made us feel like family. All the way down to the day of our wedding to the bridal attendant, Laila (who I cannot begin to thank enough— she was a literal angel from the moment we arrived), every single detail of the day was magical and planned exactly as we wanted it to be. They are true professionals. Although wedding planning is extremely stressful, they made it so much more enjoyable and I actually said to my husband when it was over that I’m sad I no longer have to wedding plan but I think I just miss wedding planning with the Estate at Florentine Gardens because they really are the best at what they do. We someone we know gets married there and we can attend as guests in the future :)

s treated us like family. Jason and Sal were exceptional! Sal is so great and listens to what your saying you want your dream wedding to be like then enhances it and gives you even better ideas for music, entertainment & videography. His team is exceptional and completely blew both our mind all of our guests. Evan & DJ Alex you guys are great!! Everyone could not Stop raving about our wedding and how amazing it was. The wrap up video was done so perfectly I highly recommend it! My bridal assistant Sheyla should probably win an award for how amazing she is! She was extremely patient and prepared and fully eased my mind was there with me every step of the way. From her helping me get in my dress, fixing my hair, my lipstick, keeping me calm and making me laugh, I am truly externally grateful! Jorge was also nothing short of amazing! Making sure we we’re running smoothly and on schedule and always checking on us to ensure we ate and drank made us feel so special. He truly took care Of us and treated us like family. The staff at the Florentine are simply amazing! Thank you for the best day of our lives !

Ciro was unbelievable, he was kind, quick to answer all my questions, and honest. The day of the wedding was magical- from the maitre d to my perfect and phenomenal bridal attendant to the cleaning attendants- everyone was exceptional!! We wanted a great party and good food - our family and friends could not stop talking about the amount and quality of the food! The wedding was amazing and more than we could have dreamed of. WORTH EVERY DOLLAR AND MORE!

they treat you as if your event is the only event of the year. Jason and Sal were simply phenomenal from day one of the planning process to after the wedding was finished. My bridal assistant, Sheyla, let’s just say I couldn’t have got through the reception without her. I forgot sandals..she got me a pair, I forgot an iPhone adapter that I was suppose to give to the band.. she found one, my hair started to fall out.. she fixed it!! I can not say enough great things about Sheyla! Finally, our video photographer, Evan— so talented and patient. He captured everything and the footage was absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t have been happier!!

t saying it to be nice!! The staff was extremely receptive and flexible to not only the bride and groom during the long planning process but to the guests the day of the wedding. The service is quick and professional, the food is amazing, abundant, cooked perfectly like no other wedding venue. If you get the video package then the short wrap up video they show at the end of your wedding to all the guests that they JUST took of your wedding that day is mind blowing and worth having for years to come. I truly believe my guests when they say it’s the best wedding they’ve gone to and it really is reasonably priced for all that you get. The venue has just been updated and the floor length windows are stunning not a boxed in, low ceiling window-less room typical of many venues. Best of all is they can lower blackout shades automatically for a day time wedding to make it dark for dancing and raise them when meals are served so you can enjoy the beauty of the room. Hands down the best venue in the area!!

the Florentine Gardens was the most beautiful, most professional to deal with, most accommodating, most experienced. Because we had already been guests at weddings there, we knew that what they told us they would do, they actually did. It was within our budget, too.Sal, the music director, the house band, Ciro and Tom Daidone, Videographer Evan, Bridal Attendant Sheyla made everything easy and perfect! It's a family run business, and they put their hears and soul and 100% into our special day.

too much trouble for Jason. The day of the wedding was so wonderful. They had the ceremony at Florentine, as well. We were a little nervous as there was an event prior to the wedding. However, Florentine's staff is so incredible that they made the turnover with ease. Our bridal attendant, Kerry, was fantastic. She anticipated every need and was on top of everything. The cocktail hour was over the top. The food was tremendous, plentiful and available. No one had to hunt down the passed hors d'oeuvres. My only regret is that it was only an hour. The maître d', George, kept everything running smoothly. We had several guests in the event industry. They were blown away by the efficiency of the staff at Florentine. Everyone's dinner arrived hot and in a timely manner. One guest mentioned that she was gluten free to one of the servers. The dish was whisked away and replaced with an appropriate meal in minutes. The Venetian hour was ridiculous. So many delicious treats. More than a few of our guests remarked about how happy the staff were. They interacted with our guests with high fives and jokes and seemed like one of the party, while still doing their jobs to perfection. We've been to a couple other weddings since our daughter's. At those weddings, people are still telling us that her wedding was the best they've ever been to. Our only regret is that it went by so fast. So, if anyone is having a wedding at Florentine and needs a couple additional guests, we're in!

o hard to make our day everything we envisioned and more! Not only is it a stunning location for any time of year, but the food is fabulous as well. The service was impeccable and we are still getting compliments from our family and friends on the whole experience. Jason was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire planning process, and our bridal attendant (Layla) and maitre d (Jorge) were absolutely AMAZING. No one missed a beat the entire night. They were all so attentive and made our day go off without one single hiccup. I cannot say enough about the Florentine Gardens team. They truly gave us the wedding of our dreams. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!!

de everything so simple from getting the date booked to making the menu and dealing with every little request me, my husband, and our parents had. There seriously are not enough Thank Yous we could ever say to her! We used Sal Travis for video and lighting and people are STILL talking about how amazing our same day edit was almost 6 months later. I can only imagine how great the longer video is! There was only one issue the entire day, we had requested no smoke for our first dance and there was some sort of mix up with another wedding but the FG team was quick to get the smoke machines turned off before it reached us on the dance floor. The Maitre'd couldn't have been more apologetic! Kerry, our bridal attendant was FANTASTIC! My dress was ripped before the reception started and she followed me around all night long to sew it up or pin it to keep me from tripping. Any time we turned around or wanted a drink she was already there refilling our glasses! Seriously amazing! Every single one of our guests has raved and raved about the food, cocktail hour, doughnut stand, service, and being full but still needing to eat! We cannot wait to come back to FG as guests to be able to enjoy all the food!! Thank you Florentine Gardens for making our Wedding so easy to plan and the best night of our entire lives!! We truly are so grateful!

le and gaved amazing recommendations! Definitely worth every. single. penny. The bridal attendant I had knew what I wanted before I wanted it and Jason was with us every step of the way the day of. He made sure my entire bridal party was organized for entrances and directed them so my entrance with my husband was perfectly executed! I couldn't have asked for a better day even if I tried! Sal Travis, the in house entertainment, is FANTASTIC! he accommodated us in every way possible. I definitely threw some curve balls his way and he handled like a champ! The music, lighting, wrap up video, everything was absolutely amazing!!! Florentine Gardens is the way to go!!!!

day of coordination was absolute perfection. I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding because Denise and her team did a wonderful job at handling it all. Denise's attention to detail can't be beat. Our guests can't stop raving about the cocktail hour experience and our Mojito Bar! The garden, beautifully ornate reception hall, and glamorous bridal suite left a lasting impression on us and our guests. If you are in Northern Jersey and are getting married, look no further than Florentine Gardens! We also used their in house DJ and Production service and all I have to say is - if you're on the fence about using them - DON'T BE! Sal and Alex (the DJ) are incredibly professional and, man, do they kow how to create a party. We purchased the theatrical package and it included everything from a day of wrap up video (everyone's favorite part of that day), lighting and even videography (which saved us so much time and money down the line). I can't say enough about his wonderful team of videographers who truly made me feel like a supermodel that day. Our guests were in awe of the production that Sal put on for our big day. We are so appreciative to them! Thank you Florentine Gardens, Sal Travis Ent. and staff for truly giving us the best day of our lives.

job was to make their special day a spectacular event, and he certainly succeeded! During our year plus of planning, we met several of the other family members and key employees. They all made us feel very welcome, and treated us like we were family. In addition to Ciro's attention to detail and easy going personality, we were lucky enough to have Layla as a bridal attendant. She worked non-stop making sure the wedding party was very well cared for. She was outstanding! Our Maitre'D was Jorge, and he was terrific as well. We could not be more pleased with our experience. We have been receiving tons of compliments. We hope that others will have the same terrific experience.

Food, service and presentation was outstanding, cocktail hour was amazing. Our guests are still saying it was the best wedding they have been to. FG only offers one event at time (so important), their staff all work so hard and well together (been with FG for many years), a well oiled machine. The bridal attend Kerry truly the sweetest, best made the day extra special. The Maître D Jeffrey runs the venue like a ship. I truly want to be a guest at FG, I would love to enjoy the experience our guest had at my daughter's wedding. I was too busy being a mom.

uper delightful every time we interacted. It was a joy to go there! When it came time to put together our menu and timeline she worked to create our dream spread and the timeline was perfectly executed in real-time. Our guests raved about the copious amounts of food and the large variety of options in the cocktail hour. We did not receive 1 complaint about chicken being dry or fish being fishy every entree was beautiful and perfectly cooked. Our Maitre D' George was on point with everything. Nothing felt rushed or scheduled he made sure that he took care of everything that all we needed to do was enjoy ourselves. Our bridal attendant Maria was a doll - she was there when I needed a bobby pin or a bustle or a drink or food or just when I needed some peace. From 9 am to 12 am she was my right-hand and I am so grateful for everything she did for me. The Florentine Gardens reputation speaks for itself but it is the most beautiful, perfectly laid out, perfectly orchestrated wedding venue I have ever been to. You are family to everyone there and you are treated like gold every step of the way. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter - book Florentine Gardens today to have the wedding of your dreams!

on in what they do and pay attention to literally every detail you ask and more! Denise- our coordinater/planner was flawless and answered every and any question in speedy response and helped create our perfect fairy tale wedding- she can make it all happen!!!!! Sal- our Entertainment coordinator (MC, Music, video, lighting) was such a pleasure to work with. It was so comforting that we were in great hands with him and he does not disappoint! Made all of our visions come to life!! DJ Rob knocked it out of the park!!!!! Our guests never left the dance floor which is exactly what we wanted. Our guests kept telling us the DJ was the best they’ve ever heard at a wedding and played such a great mix and listened to all of our requests! Evan- our videographer captured every single important, fun and loving moment of the night! Super nice and talented! Jorge- our Matre D was our right hand man that day and made sure EVERYTHING ran smoothly (which of course it did because when you’re at the Estate... it’s just perfection). He was great with our bridal party and making sure we were happy with how the night was going. Layla- my bridal attendant is the sweetest and was so helpful! She knew what I was thinking or needed Without even having to ask and was so quick to attend and help me— I couldn’t have had the memorable time I did without her :) And the food—come hungry and you will leave full and happy!

d provided the perfect ambiance for us. Our guests can’t stop talking about how unforgettable the food was from cocktail hour to dessert. Everyone was impressed by the exceptional service. Guests talk about how they always had a drink in hand and never empty. It was a magical night and we’re so happy we chose such a beautiful venue with amazing employees. Leading up to our wedding day, everyone we worked with throughout our planning was so genuinely personable. They all made sure we had the perfect stress-free night. No question about it, we highly recommend the Estate at Florentine Gardens! Maria We’ve worked with Maria since day 1. We never felt like we were just another wedding, she always remembered us and made us feel special. She was so attentive and accommodating! When we were ever unsure of anything she provided the best advice. She truly knows what she’s doing and made planning easier with her organization! Maria went above and beyond to make our requests possible, and it was such a pleasure to work with her. Jorge Jorge was our Maitre’d. He ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the night. He involved us in specifics at the start of the night so he could clarify some details, and then took care of everything. He kept the party on time and the vendors in check. Jorge took any of the stresses of that night off of us so we could enjoy without worrying about anything! He was incredible and we wouldn’t have had that much fun without him! Lyla Lyla was my bridal attendant, and it was wonderful having her by my side throughout the night for any of my needs! She was very attentive, but not invasive, and so quick when I had a request. She picked up on what I was drinking and just kept re-filling so I didn’t even have to think of asking her. She has such a contagious smile and I could tell she really loves what she does.

we were greeted by Maria, who is to say the least, such a professional, warmhearted, genuine person. She had a way of making you feel as if you were family, and for Kyle and I that was something that truly left a lasting impression on us. But, it didn’t stop there. Her staff also made us feel as if we were part of the “Florentine Family” and went great lengths to ensure that we had the best day of our lives and let me tell you, it was truly one of the BEST! The day arrived, and it was one of beauty, love, and family. The food, service, venue, everything you could possibly imagine was BEYOND our expectations! And we can’t forget “Our Guy”, Sal Travis and his company Sal Travis Entertainment. Sal and his team provided us with amazing dancing, lighting, a wrap-up video, and best of all, a sign of RELIEF! I say relief because every single time I spoke to Sal, he had this way about him that just truly reassured me that everything was going to be AMAZING and that is exactly how that day was. Along with Sal and his staff, I can’t fail to mention Jeffery and our bridal attendant Kerry! WOW! Just wow! Jeffery, our Maitre’D, was truly remarkable! He allowed the event to run smoothly, while at the same time be sure that my husband and I were truly having a spectacular time! As for Kerry! Kerry, you are every Bride’s BFF on the day of their wedding! You were with us that day from start to finish and I am truly so thankful! You did not skip a beat the entire day and always made sure that I was smiling. Honestly, there aren’t enough words to express how amazing the Florentine truly is. As my husband and I looked through our wedding pictures and watched the wrap-up video countless times, we are still overwhelmed with the happiness we felt that day. It was truly a night that was magical to say the least and the LOVE from not only our families, but from our "Florentine Family" is a love that will never be forgotten. Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Olivia and Kyle

take great care of us by accommodating to our needs. He helped us throughout the entire planning process. Thanks to Jason, we were able to drop most of our things off at Florentine Gardens the day before our wedding and were lucky enough to be able to set up then as well (this might not be the case for everyone due to different events scheduled around). The moment we arrived, we were greeted by Laila, THE BEST bridal attendant any of our friends and families have witnessed. Even our hair and makeup stylists, who have seen their fair share of bridal attendants, were immediately impressed by her. She was extremely attentive and professional and tended to the every need of our entire bridal party who still compliment her weeks later. She was very polite and friendly, but also very on top of things, running around and making sure all of the last minute preparations were done to our liking, predicting what we were worried about as well as taking care of unexpected things the second they occurred and giving us suggestions when we were unsure. After the reception, Jason arranged for us to take more photographs outside during the next event. However, due to an impending blizzard, the next event was postponed or cancelled and Laila made it possible for us to take more photos in the Grand Ballroom - something we didn't even think of! We were very lucky to have Laila the entire day and could not have wished for anyone better. All of my little wedding details such as the signs, specialty drinks, unusual guestbook and little knick knacks to be handed out were all taken care of by the amazing Florentine Gardens staff. Jason made sure all of our belongings and decorations were stored away properly as well as returned to us after the wedding was over. The Florentine Gardens staff arranged every detail we worked on for the past year with care and made sure everything we brought was used. They even took care of some details that we didn't anticipate such as making cocktail hour look phenomenal and having food brought to us in the bridal suite. My husband particularly liked the way all of the servers were standing with trays of champagne just outside of the Grand Ballroom the moment the doors opened after the ceremony. Oh, the bridal and groom suites? Um, newly renovated and completely gorgeous?? Yes!! The bridal suite was complete with fireplace, chandeliers, beautiful marble floors, a golden finish, granite countertops with food and drinks, and salon. Wait...salon?? Yes, salon!! The groom suite was equipped with a large TV, classy bar, bookshelves, leather sofa, and pool table (wow, they've thought of everything)!! Too bad I didn't get to spend much time in there. In my opinion, it's worth taking a tour of the venue just to see the suites. They even had built in speakers that were hooked up to an app one of my bridesmaids downloaded so we could control the music being played - pretty cool! The smaller ballroom was still being renovated, but our cocktail hour was held in the Pavilion and done so very elegantly. The Grand Ballroom had tall ceilings and windows facing the beautiful gardens. The windows had automatic shades that we were able to put up or down as many times as we wanted (which was only once really). A balcony in the Grand Ballroom overlooked the dance floor and made it possible for an overhead shot of us with all of our guests! The garden has everything - stone as well as iron gazebos, a pergola with vines creeping up its legs, sculptures, all kinds of plants and lit trees (which looked gorgeous even for our winter wedding), and a large fountain near a deck with heating lamps! We had our ceremony indoors, but the gardens would be an ideal setting for an outdoor ceremony! For whatever reason, our guests really enjoyed taking photos in front of the fireplace in the Grand Ballroom, which they were surprised was actually burning during our reception. They also loved the desserts provided by Florentine Gardens even though they were too stuffed from cocktail hour and dinner to eat cake! Since our wedding 2 weeks ago, we have received so many compliments about Florentine Gardens - how beautiful the venue was, how great the food was, and how attentive the staff was. We are extremely glad we chose Florentine Gardens to host one of the celebration of our marriage.

make you feel like family throughout the entire planning process, and Denise was so amazing in making it the least stressful experience as we got closer to our big day. Sal was also amazing with our video and lighting needs - he also made you feel right at home. On our wedding day, Lyla was my bridal attendant and she was so amazing and Jeffery as our Matrie'D. The food and service was so amazing, people are still raving about how good and beautiful everything was. They even offered seconds to our guests! Overall, I could write a novel about our amazing experience with everyone at the Florentine Gardens - I have not one negative thing to say and we're really lucky to consider our new friends at the Florentine Gardens like family.

ng! A HUGE factor to why our wedding was so amazing is because of our venue. We got engaged December 22, 2016 and began to look at venues the following January. We toured a few different venues before we went to The Estate at Florentine Gardens. Two years ago, on this exact day, we fell in LOVE! The venue was displayed in pictures beautifully, but in person it was even more stunning!! No other venue we saw before could even compare. As the planning process was in the early stages, our consultant changed. Though a bit worried at first since we already began the planning process, the change was definitely for the better! We worked with Maria who was beyond helpful with EVERY aspect!! She remembered things from e-mails, previous meetings, calls, and was sure to bring those things up the next time she saw us! The night of our wedding she even made sure she came up to us before she left to congratulate us! From start to finish Maria made sure we were nothing but happy about our experience. The night of our wedding, we had some of the BEST hands on deck! George was our maitre d and Layla was our bridal attendant. Talk about two KEY players to an amazing team!!! He checked on us often, got us through crying over a small problem and made sure we knew that the moment would be the ONLY time we would be upset that night, I mean... he even cleaned my nose off when my husband put cake all over it! He helped me think of a plan to make sure the groom's cake was a TOTAL surprise. We are so thankful for EVERYTHING George did for us throughout that night! Not even sure where to begin when talking about Layla!! Once we arrived at the Florentine her game face was on! She had the BIGGEST smile that gave the both of us that GOOD feeling... Kind of like that family feeling I felt from working with everyone else at the Florentine! Stepping foot in the door she asked if we would like anything to drink. When we were outside, taking pictures on the outstanding grounds, she asked if we would like anything warm since it was cold out! My husband and I couldn't (and still can't) get over how on top of eveything she was!! When we finally came back inside, she made sure we had a fresh drink at all times... Not just for my husband and I, but our entire bridal party and family! As we danced and got excited in the bridal suites, once again a perfect part of the Estate, my strap completely came off my dress!! That was my very FIRST panic moment over the wedding. When I turned around to show my mom, Layla was ALREADY there and ready to sew it back on! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!! I told her right than and there that I owed her my life. Want to know what her response was? She just loves to see her brides happy!!! As we danced all night long, she kept our glasses of water FULL (Amen!!) and even cooled me down at one point! My mom, dad, and aunt were in awe when they saw that. What wedding have you gone to where your bridal attendant helps you cool down because you're a sweaty mess from shaking it??? She was literally amazing!!!!!! Thank you to the entire Florentine Gardens team for making our day so PERFECT!!

reception because the Florentine team catered to and took care of all our needs from keeping us on a timeline, making sure we ate (their amazing food) and drank; everything was smooth sailing. Look no further! This venue offers elegance and unbelievable service.

ue was by far the best one. First of all, you're working with a phenomenal team. The first time I met Tom Daidone, I knew the wedding would be well executed, beautiful, and that I'd be working with the best professionals in the field. This all was obvious on the day of. During the wedding, every staff member wore an ear piece such that if we ever needed something, it would be relayed to the appropriate person who would be right there to help (not something we saw anywhere else). Tom even came over himself to say hello during our wedding, which was wonderful. Maria Daidone is wonderful to work with, very organized and caring. Our bridal attendant did a phenomenal job (mending my dress, making sure we ate, etc.). The food (so much beautiful and tasty food!) and the gorgeous decor is something almost ALL of our guests extol to this day. We keep hearing that they'd never seen anything like it. Thank you, Florentine Gardens, for creating and running such a wonderful venue!!! I had just started a new job as a doctor in a busy hospital when we first started planning the wedding - we couldn't have done it without you!

process. I must say, the day of the wedding, every single staff member worked in such a way to make everything stress free and easy. My bridal attendant was also above and beyond my expectations. My guests were all astounded by how beautiful everything was. And the FOOD!! I can’t thank you all enough for making our wedding day the best day ever. We also used Sal Travis for our entertainment, and he did a wonderful job as well. Thank you all for all your hard work!!

tine Gardens made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. We had the best day of our lives at the Florentine Gardens! This is a FAMILY owned venue, and that was a huge +. We truly felt like we were a part of the family during the entire process. Maria Daidone was our event consultant who took us through every step. We were truly lucky to work with her as she is super personable and she went above and beyond in making everything exceptional. The day of the wedding is long filled with photos but our bridal assistant Sheyla made it so much better. The best way for me to describe our bridal assistant is phenomenal! Sheyla helped with anything and everything. She helped lessen the loads on our bridesmaids. She was super caring and thoughtful. When we were out in the garden taking pictures in 30 degrees weather, Sheyla brought us hot tea and was out there in the cold to support our needs. Sheyla also helped fixed our bridesmaid's bouquet that broke before the ceremony (since the florist left before that). Sheyla brought us an abundance of food from our cocktail hour into the bridal suite and even when we were in the reception, she kept drinks filled and made sure we tried everything (and all of the desserts). She was nothing but the absolute best and I wouldn’t have been able to go through the day so stress-free without her support. The venue itself also has a brand new bridal suite that is gorgeous for pictures and hanging out. There is also a nice groom suite with pool table (which most venues do not usually have). My husband and I had a chance to relax and enjoy all of the delicious food prior to the reception. Our Maître’d, Jorge, was amazing and as my husband puts it “on his A game”. He was extremely organized and made suggestions during the night so we can be on track with our schedule and made sure our guests had a great time. Our VIP tables couldn’t stop raving about how Jorge kept coming by to check up on them and even asked if they wanted more food. They definitely know how to keep your family and friends happy so all they can talk about is how great the venue was, which was everything we could’ve asked for. We had been to the Florentine Gardens during the planning process numerous times, but that night felt magical! (it does help that the chandeliers are just so beautiful). As you research, you will see all of the beautiful photos from the spring and summer months in their garden, but please do not hesitate to choose a winter month. The open space throughout the ballroom looking out into the gardens was lit up by all of the tree lights which made it look like a winter wonderland. Many of our guests took pictures in the lobby (with the holiday decors) as well as outside with the tree lighting. Everyone could not stop raving about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food/dessert was. As we were getting ready to leave for the night, Sheyla had already packed a ton of food and even a couple of centerpieces for myself that I had almost forgot about. Since we were having an after party off-site, it was great to have delicious food. We can’t thank Maria, Sheyla, Jorge, Sal and everyone at the Florentine Gardens enough for making everything so wonderful for us.

his full staff went above and beyond to make our wedding a day we'll never forget. Denise was truly wonderful throughout the whole process, making every step of the planning easy and enjoyable. She worked with us to make sure every detail of the event was exactly as we wanted. We also had a great experience working with Sal and team on the Entertainment; we went with The House Band and our guests are still raving about how amazing they were! Night of, our Bridal Attendant Layla took care of every little detail - leaving us as the bride and groom free to enjoy and dance the night away. We're so happy with our choice in venue and don't have a single complaint! Fingers are crossed another friend or family member chooses The Estate as well so we can go back and celebrate as guests!

and wedding experience one we will never forget!!! This was the 3rd venue we went too and we fell in love with Florentine. Tom and Maria instantly made us feel like family. From the day we booked our venue till now they made the whole wedding experience a pleasure. We loved how we there was one event at a time, how beautiful and clean the venue was and the gorgeous chandeliers throughout the venue. As soon as we would pull we would instantly get so excited!!! I never was stressed during wedding planning because I had so much trust in everyone at Florentine. I knew they would do everything perfect which they did. My maitree d and bridal attendant ( Jorge and Laila) was were so nice and on top of everything. They catered to any thing you needed. From bustling my dress to make sure we didn’t forget to eat or drink and making sure we were in the right place at the time. From the servers to the owners everyone is was so pleasant and organized. We did not need to worry about a thing. I wish we could do it again. We did our entertainment through Sal at the Florentine gardens and just like everyone else there he was a pleasure to work with. He made everything simple to understand and was so patient with us. Our wrap up video was beautiful and I’ve watched it about 100 times since our wedding. I was able to share my wrap up video with family over sees who weren’t able to attend less than 24 hours on social media. Sal also sent a file instantly we could save to our desktop. My videographer Evan was so nice and easy to work with it. I wish I could give Florentine gardens 10 stars instead of 5.

hing. The house band was fantastic, and the videographer, maître d, and bridal attendant made the day run smoothly from start to finish. The venue itself is just absolutely stunning and impressive. My husband and I could not be more pleased with how our day turned out. Thank you to the ENTIRE staff. You all are amazing and deserve every ounce of credit for making this day a success.

e still receiving compliments on how fabulous the food and service was. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special and for making my vision come to life!!

ail I sent was answered so quickly. The whole staff at Florentine made the wedding prep so stress free. We used the "House Band" which was out of this world. I still have people mentioning to me how awesome that band was. Sal Travis was fantastic. My husband has a long Italian last name and he made sure he pronounced it perfectly. He got the crowd up and kept the party going all night. Our bridal assistant was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! So attentive. She wanted to feed me pasta so I didn't stain my dress. Any time I needed something she was right by my side. The best part of the night was the wrap up video!! The production of that video was amazing and it is something that I will have for the rest of my life. I watch it still like once a week. The food was so delicious. The fresh sushi bar and raw bar were are huge hit. When it came to the entrees they came out with seconds for our guest. How nice is that? They gave my husband and I every entree "just to try". The dessert was out of this world. It really was the little things that really went a long way. They have also transformed the lobby when you first enter. It is just beautiful. The bridal suite I could have stayed in all night. Just gorgeous. The ball room is out of this world. The trees light up at night and made for some awesome pictures. All in all it was amazing. My husband and I were so happy. My parents were so happy and our guest were so happy. I wish I could relive all over again. You will not regret the decision to get married here.

re of by the best of the best. You will have the most amazing time. Denise (the Event Coordinator), from day one of meeting her, made our decision of picking Florentine Gardens easy. The tour was great and the venue looked amazing. However, it was Denise who had me and my husband (fiance at the time) sold. She was so pleasant and so upbeat and down to earth. She told me all that they would do to accommodate us. She really made us feel like our wedding was more than just business. She brought it down to a personal level and beamed with excitement for us. She stayed on top of everything for us and personally handled any requests. Denise, THANK YOU so much. Sal (the Director of Entertainment & Service), was HIGHLY recommended by Denise. We set up a meeting with Sal and were amazed by what he offered. He was just as accommodating and pleasant and excited. He went through everything he could do for our wedding. There was so much more that he offered than anything we had seen. With all that he had set up for us, he not only amazed us, he amazed all of our guests. He did lighting, special effects, dance fog, projections screens, photobooth, and so much more. Sal was so awesome! Sheyla (the Bridal Attendant) was another important person who made our wedding perfect. She was there for me at 5AM before I even arrived at the venue. She was helping with the set up and making sure I had everything that I needed. She helped me get into my dress and hold it up when walking around or taking the stairs. She held my bouquet throughout the wedding. Right after my first dance, my bustle broke and she helped fix it right away. She was there for me with everything. Sheyla was so sweet and kind. She was there for me to help touch up my lip gloss and help me change shoes when my feet were hurting. Sheyla was so amazing! Jorge (the Maitre 'D) was the one who coordinated our whole day. He made sure everything went as planned. He stayed on top of everything that day and made sure our needs were met. He went out of his way to keep things running as smoothly as possible. We were able to fully enjoy our day worry-free thanks to Jorge. He was there from start to finish to make sure everything was perfect for us. Jorge helped make it possible for our wedding to be perfect. Paul (the Videographer) worked with Sal to make our day so special. He did things that we did not think were possible. Towards the end of the reception, they were able to play a fully edited 5 minute recap of the best day of our lives. They even had it playing to our song. The video was amazing. All of our guests were amazed and have never seen anything like it before. At the end of the night, we were given three copies and emailed a link of that video. Paul did a fantastic job and we cannot thank him enough for the video we will cherish forever. Alex (the DJ) also worked with Sal to give us the perfect day. Together, they kept everyone on the dance floor almost the whole night. Everyone was dancing from ages 14-85. We had a great mix of music and an amazing DJ to bring it all together and keep everyone on the floor dancing and laughing. Alex did an awesome job changing up the music and bringing the reception to life.

s at every step of the way, never once making us feel as though we were being a bother - and believe me, at times, we definitely were. They eased our worries, jumped through hoops to make sure we have everything we needed/wanted, even if it meant making special trips to outside vendors to get culturally specific food items that they knew our families would love. Maria, Tom, Sal, Jeff, Lila and every last member of the Florentine Staff became like family. They opened their doors to us and to our wedding of over 300 guests and made it feel like to most intimate, beautiful and loving environment for us to share with those we love most. We can never repay them for their commitment to giving us the wedding of our dreams. They far exceeded our wildest expectations. With a wedding as big as ours, we expected that something might fall through the cracks but the food, service and attention to detail was absolute perfection. The grounds are stunning, which is also a plus. We will continue to recommend the Florentine Gardens to everyone we meet!

a stressful planning experience super simple. We used the in house entertainment services of Sal Travis for our DJ and Video. Go with Sal! You will not be disappointed. From his lovely personality, to his MC skills he was absolutely fantastic! Not to mention DJ James, and our videographer Evan. Our guests were on the dance floor all night, and our wrap up video is perfect! And what can I say about Kerry, my bridal attendant. Kerry was kind, attentive and just an absolute angel. She was always there when we needed her, with a glass of water or a reminder to grab something to eat. Jeffrey our maitre d’ kept things rolling smoothly all evening. We are still getting compliments from friends and family on the excellent service, delicious food and awesome desserts. The staff at Florentine Gardens truly goes above and beyond. The promised me the best day of my life, and over delivered. Our wedding was absolutely magical!

side the entire night. I did not have to worry about a thing. This perfect day I will remember forever.

cking music and setting up the timelines very smooth. They were there for everything we needed from planning to the our wedding day. Jorge made sure we had everything that we needed and everything ran according to schedule. All of the little worries and details of the day just went away and fell into place because of their preparedness and experience. For example, we were worried that it might rain on our outdoor ceremony, but Ciro and Jorge had made sure that both indoor and outdoor ceremony areas were set up so we could make the call last minute (the rain held out!). Our bridal attendant Hallie was also very helpful, from getting last minute supplies, bustling my dress, holding my bouquet during pictures, and fixing my train for the pictures, etc. There are so many little things that I just didn't have to worry about because of their great team! Our guests all said great things as well. Everyone enjoyed the food. The cocktail hour was a hit with many different options to choose from. We decided to stay in the bridal suite for cocktail hour for a breather (which was a very nice choice to get a little alone time away from the chaos) and our bridal attendents brought us plate after plate of all of the food upstairs. The sangria bar was also very popular for our afternoon wedding. Everyone really enjoyed the selection of top-shelf liquor. We opted for the waffle and zeppoli stations for dessert which were also delicious. Our DJ James kept everyone on the dance floor the whole time even though we had an early wedding. And, of course, the whole venue is gorgeous. The gardens are so beautiful and made our ceremony and pictures perfect. The bridal suites are fantastic. The ballroom is so grand.

nd dancing the whole time.

st! She was so personable and accommodating and made planning the details of our reception a breeze. She was there every step of the way. I cannot thank her and her team enough! We also decided to go with the in-house entertainment and I am extremely glad we did. Sal is an absolute pleasure to work with. We chose the theatrical package (lighting, fog, etc.) photo-booth, in-house DJ and Videographer. DJ Alex kept our guests dancing all night long! At the end of the night we had our Same Day Edit Video played. Videographer Evan did a phenomenal job with the wrap-up video...our guests especially loved it. The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect. My husband and I were treated like a king and queen - we cannot thank our bridal attendant Layla and Maitre d' Jeff enough for taking care of us the entire night. Everyone at The Estate truly made our wedding an unforgettable night. Our guests cannot stop raving about our wedding. Highly recommend this venue!!

a lot of dietary restrictions that Florentine easily accommodated, including supplying Kosher meals and allowing us to bring some authentic Indian dishes from our favorite restaurant, to place alongside Florentine's own elaborate and exquisite spread. We had an evening wedding, but since Florentine had a baby shower the morning of our wedding day, we were allowed to use the bridal and groom suites all day, which was perfect for getting ready and doing our pictures on-site before the wedding! The family at Florentine, especially Ciro, George, and Lila, went above and beyond on the day of our wedding to make sure our day was executed perfectly and was stress-free as possible for us. From our first visit to the day of the wedding, Ciro was very responsive and helpful in helping us create our perfect day. Lila is the best bridal attendant - she is attentive, comforting, friendly, incredibly calming and helpful from the moment you arrive on the parking lot until the moment you leave the venue at the end of your party. George our maitre'd was great at keeping things moving, while helping execute all the little details on the day of perfectly. We have heard nothing but good things from family and friends regarding the amazing food, service, and the beauty of the venue, inside and out. We wouldn't change a single thing about our wedding day and would recommend anyone get married here! In fact, we are hoping to get invited to a wedding here so we can experience their amazing food and service all over again :)

asons that we chose Florentine was because we loved the inside as much as the outside. The venue is spacious, pristine, and stunning. The guests RAVED about the venue, service, and cocktail hour. The phrase "best cocktail hour ever" was thrown around by multiple guests. Everything that I dropped off the week of the wedding was put exactly where it was supposed to be. I literally didn't have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding! We were absolutely thrilled with everything. Thank you so so much for making all of our wedding dreams come true!

sically became our friends throughout our wedding planning process. They both guided us each step of the way to make sure they could bring our vision to life. Denise was most helpful with menu and table planning. Menu options can be overwhelming but Denise made it seem so easy as she tailored menu options not just towards the number of guests we had but towards what would be most enjoyable. We booked the in house services, theatrical package and wrap up video with Sal, and we couldn’t be happier with our magical night. Sal was an amazing MC. Sal with DJ Alex kept our guests captured with announcing and a party packed playlist. All of our guests (of all ages) danced all night to all of our favorite songs. We literally had the dance floor packed from the time dinner was over straight through to the final song. Our videographer Evan began with us ladies as we got ready in the Bridal Suite of the Estate at Florentine Gardens. He was friendly and made us feel comfortable as he took candid and some posed video on site at our church ceremony and back at the Estate at Florentine Gardens. The wrap up video (including drone features) was impeccable, and we’ve been watching it regularly since the morning after the wedding! The bridal suite was large enough for the bridal party and myself to enjoy our luxurious morning preparations of hair, makeup and relaxation. It made for much smoother hair and makeup services as lighting and space is all built in. The pictures that were captured getting ready in the bridal suite are so regal! Our bridal attendant Layla was absolutely amazing throughout the entire day (from getting ready in the bridal suite through the very last goodbye at our ride home). She was so attentive, almost like my mind reader. She kept me very relaxed throughout the entire day, even popping into the middle of the packed dance floor to help me bobby pin a stray hair back into place. Layla was always close by with anything my husband or I could possibly need or want, truly taking care of us as if we had known her forever. I highly recommend The Estate at Florentine Gardens. Our wedding will always be remembered as the most exquisite night of our lives. The lighting, music, ballroom, food, décor, and treatment made us feel like we had our own Royal Wedding. We hope to be back soon as guests! Much thanks again to the Daidone family, Sal Travis, and all of the Florentine Gardens family. Love, Thomas & Danielle Brennan

were over it. I asked a good friend of mine to help me narrow down our list and when she saw FG on it she said, “Michelle, that’s where you’re going to get married.” Little did I know that the next weekend we would pull up and make the best decision of our lives. Everyone says that your wedding day is one of the happiest, fun, and meaningful days of your life and the staff at Florentine Gardens made sure it was just that for me and my new hubby!! We didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING. Not only were they so prepared from a logistics standpoint, the personal touches and care they took leading up to and on the day of the wedding was not overlooked. We absolutely loved working with Denise, she was EXCEPTIONAL. One of our guests was stranded in the town over without a ride and she went there to pick him up. Talk about world class service! And the band, where do we even start! The members came out on the dance floor and the entire room was on their feet. Our guests still talk about the food, especially the cocktail hour which was awesome! The chef created a “south of the border” station with mini tacos just for us which we loved. Everything from start to finish was amazing and I’m so happy we didn’t have to worry about a thing on our day because we were able to enjoy each other and totally be in the moment, as evidenced by our wrap up video which was over 5 minutes long and fully edited by the end of the night! I have no idea how they do it, they are simply the best!!

very start of planning until the very end, they were super helpful! Maria and the entire staff went above and beyond for us. Our guests have not stopped raving about the wedding and how attentive the staff was. They treated everyone like VIP guests- they even brought around seconds for dinner (which was absolutely delicious)! Our guests were blown away by the hospitality. Besides deciding to marry my best friend, picking the Florentine Gardens was the best decision I made for my wedding!

dding spectacular, and they did as they said. From the day we signed with the Florentine, Jason continually collaborated with us, and guided us in every step of the way in planning the event. The team accommodated every special request, and were so kind in handling all our last-minute changes. The entire event went well beyond our expectations, it was perfect. From the moment we arrived, the ceremony in the beautiful garden, through cocktail and reception; the team at the Florentine meticulously coordinated every detail and ensured we, the bridal party and our guests were taken care of and treated as if we were celebrities. We enjoyed every minute of our celebration. The food was amazing, and the attentiveness of the staff and the service was second to none. During the event, so many of our guests commented on how beautiful the Florentine is, and how delicious the food was, and highly impressed with the service. This entire week, our families and friends are still calling and texting just to say how impressed they were. For entertainment, we booked the in-house team – Sal Travis Entertainment. Sal and his team (Shar and James) were fantastic. We selected the entertainment package which included DJ, lighting, smoke effect for the first dance, wrap-up video, etc. Sal was a pleasure to work with – we had many (many) last minute changes and special requests. For the ceremony we wanted certain music to be played by the flutist and pianist. We provided Sal the sheet music and he ensured the musicians played these special songs during the ceremony. During the cocktail hour, the musicians played Latin jazz per our request. Sal ensured our guests were entertained the entire evening – from video presentations to his special way of keeping the party going on the dance floor. The entertainment for the entire evening was so well coordinated that our guests commented this was not like a typical reception, it was truly an event and a show they never experienced before. The lighting effects and sound was perfect. Sal’s team produced a video montage, and wrap-up video for us that chronicled the entire day from getting ready at our parent’s (for the bride), through the ceremony and reception – and then towards the end of the reception, the video was played for us and our guests – it was amazing, all done on-site at the Florentine! If you have your event at the Estate at Florentine Gardens (and you should!), don’t waste your time looking outside to other vendors for your entertainment and videography – do yourself a favor and go with Sal. Special thanks to Thomas, Jason, Sal, Jorge our Matrie ‘d, Kerry our bridal attendant, Shar our videographer, and DJ James – thank you so much for making our day perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love Geo and Walter.

d not have been more accommodating, professional and caring. When planning a wedding, most people immediately think about all of the stress and worry that comes with planning and executing your event. I'll just say that all of that stress and worry will go away with this group of people. The best decision we made was having our wedding here. They truly want to make your wedding day the best day of your life. This place is not a wedding factory. You will not feel like you're "just another wedding". This is a family run establishment and that shows in the level and quality of service. Being with our closest friends and family AND being treated like family, there's nothing better! Our event coordinator was Jason and he was not only a true professional but a genuinely great person. From start to finish, Jason answered every e-mail, phone call and question we had in a timely manner. Jason made himself flexible with meetings and really went above and beyond to make our day exactly what we wanted it to be. He made sure that we were fully on the same page with every detail, even the smallest ones! We used Sal Travis for all of our entertainment. This included our music, photo booth, lighting and videography. Sal couldn't have been an easier person to work with. Sal and his team executed the event flawlessly. Our bridal attendant was Kerry and she was incredible! There was not a moment where she wasn't by our side when we needed something. Jorge was our Maitre'd on the day of the wedding. He guided us through the entire day and didn't miss a beat. He made the whole day look like a truly perfect production! To Tom, Amanda and Maria, thank you! You've hands down established the best venue in the region! - John & Karen

ally with the night itself. We had the time of our lives and everything was perfect. Every single detail was thought out and the day of operations could not have been smoother. From the moment I walked into the Florentine Gardens I knew it was the venue I wanted to hold my wedding at. I worked with Ciro for both my Bridal Shower as well as the wedding. From the very beginning he helped us work through every detail and guided us through the entire process. Ciro made the entire process of planning my wedding effortless. I cannot say enough about George (our maître D). He treated our wedding as if it were his own. Not one detail was missed. Everything looked picture perfect and the organization of our reception was superb. Everyone should be so lucky to have George as their point man. He is the best in the business. Lastly, Hailey (the absolute best bridal attendant) was AMAZING. She made the day so unbelievably easy; she was truly invaluable. I cannot even begin to imagine the day going as well without her help and assistance. She made me feel so comfortable the whole day and ensured that everything was exactly as I had imagined. Words alone do not express my utmost gratitude and and appreciation for all she did on the day of. The staff was amazing and they were truly on their A-game making my wedding day stressless. There was not one dish that was presented that was not delicious. Everyone gave me amazing compliments on how great my cocktail hour, main dishes and Viennese hour were. I will not miss planning my wedding but I will truly miss working with the staff at The Florentine Gardens, because of them it was one aspect of my wedding I did not have to worry about. They are the greatest!

h will keep your guests close to the action. Denise and her staff worked our wedding from start to finish to give us an amazing day. You will not be disappointed by choosing this spot! Thank you for a memorable day!

out steaming hot and soooo much variety . The drinks were flowing all night and the service was amazing. This family Owned venue works with you on so many levels to make your event exactly How you want it to be! If you want your family and friends to rave about your wedding and especially the Cocktail hour then make FG your choice. Ciro, Maria, Tom, Jason and everyone are sooo helpful ! Special thanks to Kerry my amazing bridal attendant !!!

tremely responsive, easy to work with, professional, and friendly. She saw each detail through and delivered every promise and then some. The food, service, and grounds were all amazing. Everything was delicious, on point, clean, and seemed like it was made just for us. We are so excited to see all of our pictures. We are still receiving compliments and rave reviews from all of our guests. I wish I could share them all here. We had 275 guests and they each had something different to say in such a positive way. There was plenty of room in the ballroom, everything went over unhitched, and the music sounded great in the room. Our only regret is not being able to do it again and again every weekend.

to make a decision, there wasn't a doubt in our mind. The Estate is really in a league of its own in terms of quality and value. You can really see that the owners, the Dadones, are passionate about their work and leave no detail overlooked. The entire venue is so well thought-out. We had a great time meeting with Tom and the rest of the family and were delighted to be supporting such an incredible local family. Denise was our event consultant and she was outstanding! She went out of her way to ensure we were satisfied with every single detail. On the day of the wedding, she even found a way to fix my father's suit jacket after it got ripped on the ride over! We worked with her to put together a cocktail hour and dinner menu that people could not stop raving about all night long and ever since! I'm a pescatarian so we worked out a nice balance to keep myself and the guests (including my crazy Italian family) all happy. I was very proud that we were able to please such a tough crowd. Sal Travis did an exceptional job working with us on our ceremony music and creating the perfect atmosphere during the reception. The ballroom is such a work of art and Sal really knows how to make the most of it. His theatrical package really took the whole experience to another level. Go to the showcase they hold and see exactly what I'm talking about! I know reading reviews can get mundane, but if nothing else, let this one convince you to visit the Estate if you haven't done so yet. I'm sure you won't be disappointed! And if you need help putting together a menu ask them about Gennaro's choices! ;-) Thank you to Denise, Tom, Sal and the whole team at the Estate!

ens make sure everything is absolutely perfect from start to finish. You can fully trust them with the most important day of your life because they are not only extremely experienced, but also very caring and flexible as well. We had the best day of our lives at the Florentine Gardens! This is a FAMILY owned venue, and that made a big impact on our decision to have our ceremony and wedding there. It really was so nice to deal with family and not some faceless corporation. We also truly felt like we were a part of the family during the entire planning process and day of the wedding. Ciro Daidone was our event consultant who was there for us every step of the way. We were truly lucky to work with him as he really captured what we wanted for our wedding and went above and beyond to make everything exceptional from our personalized ideas to the delicious wedding day menu. During the year we planned our wedding, we also had the pleasure of meeting every other family member from the venue, who each bring their own individual talents to help plan your perfect event. Sal Travis was so wonderful to work with as we planned our ceremony music with him. The violist and piano player were excellent and played all of the songs we requested beautifully. The best way for me to describe our bridal assistant, Lila, is phenomenal! You want your bridesmaids to have a great time at your wedding and not worry about assisting you and Lila definitely was heaven sent on that day. She helped with anything and everything we needed the night of our wedding. You often hear some couples say they didn’t eat at their wedding, well that was not us! Lila brought us an abundance of food from our cocktail hour into the bridal suite. By the way, the bridal suite is brand new and gorgeous for pictures and hanging out prior to the ceremony. My husband and I had a chance to relax and enjoy all of the delicious food prior to the reception. Our Maître’d, Jeff, was amazing and one of the coolest people we’ve ever met. He was not only able to organize our 27 person bridal party, but also made everything so fun. He helped us to feel relaxed because everything was so well planned an organized. We had been to the Florentine Gardens during the planning process numerous times, but something was different that night that made it feel magical! As you research, you will see all of the beautiful photos from the spring and summer months from their garden, but please do not hesitate to choose a winter month. The open space throughout the ballroom looking out into the gardens was lit up by all of the tree lights and covered by some snow, and really looked like a dream come true. The next day we went to pick up our photos and personal items and were told they had packed up food for us from the wedding! It was so awesome to bring about 13 trays of food to our families on New Year’s Day as we ate and remembered the wonderful memories we will have forever. We can’t thank Ciro and everyone at the Florentine Gardens enough for making everything so wonderful for us. We hope to attend a wedding there soon!

room (not table) was delicious and enjoyed by all our guests. The facilities are very elegant, clean and so inviting. And the people we dealt with were so accommodating. The wait staff was professional, discreet, and very courteous. Our bridal attendant Lila was so accommodating and made the entire wedding experience stress-free. Our maître d’, Jeff, was efficient and very professional so that the entire affair ran smoothly. And the owner’s daughter, Maria, who managed our wedding on all fronts was so helpful and so sincere in all her dealings with us. A wedding does cost a great deal of money, and we can say without any reservations whatsoever that we were so very lucky to have chosen Florentine Gardens for our wedding celebration. What memories!

ily and friends cannot stop raving about it! Thankyou Florentine for expecting our vision !!!
