From the start, Christy was so extremely helpful, detailed, and knowledgeable about the venue and knew exactly what we wanted and how to help! She has such a great personality and truly made it easy for us to choose The Florian as our venue. Working with the Florian team overall- from booking the venue to the day of- was such a seamless and stress free experience! Everyone was so kind and they shared every detail with us so there were no surprises. They treated us with such kindness on the day of our wedding and truly made us feel so special. Not only is this venue absolutely breathtaking, the staff make it 1000 times better!!! Please look no further, this venue will be a dream for you as it was for my husband and me. Thank you Christy for making our wedding day such a dream come true! Words can never express how grateful we are.

We had an excellent wedding at the Florian. Their outside area is drop dead gorgeous. Alyssa- was amazing to work with. I must have emailed her 100 times before our wedding and she responded every single time answering everything- they were very flexible and accommodated us based on our specific requests. Overall, it was a beautiful spot with wonderful staff.

My husband and I recently hosted our wedding reception at The Florian; it was PERFECT. I cannot say enough good things about the property itself and the employees.
The property has a beautiful outdoor space for pictures, a large deck/cocktail hour space for guests to sit down/relax and have a conversation without needing to scream over music, and a large reception hall with an awesome dance floor! I could not have picked a better venue for our wedding. So many guests came up to me talking about what a great space we picked for our reception.
I also want to give a personal shout-out to Christy. Christy was our wedding coordinator through The Florian and she was so professional, responsive, and nice. She was so easy to work with and made the planning process so easy!
I would highly recommend The Florian for events going forward!!

We cannot saw enough amazing things about the Florian. My husband and I had a great experience, the space is like no other. We enjoyed having the outdoor ceremony, surrounding by water, flowers, and a beautiful gazebo. We loved then having the opportunity to go inside for our reception and have a beautiful, large space.
Alyssa made everything run so smoothly. We had rain on and off the morning of our wedding, and Alyssa and the rest of the staff were outside wiping off ceremony chairs, setting out water for guests due to the heat, doing everything they could to pull of our dream ceremony- and they did just that!
We would recommend The Florian 100 times over. Thank you!!

We can’t say enough good things about our experience with The Florian Event Venue. We had a large party so we knew we’d need plenty of space for everyone. The Florian was able to accommodate us and our guests with zero hesitation. Christy was our event coordinator and we could ask her anything and have an answer within 48 hours. Of course, there were those fun unexpected last minute adjustments and the team did what was necessary to adapt. The entire staff was kind, friendly and happy to help. I am so happy that I was able to have my wedding at The Florian Event Venue. The willow tree completes the idyllic setting for a truly delightful, wonderfully chaotic day. (June 2024)

Our wedding reception at the Florian was absolutely amazing. Throughout the planning process, Christy was approachable, professional, and answered all of our questions. We live out of the area, and she was flexible in planning our meetings accordingly. We went to 2 Wedding Showcase events to try food, and the meal on our wedding night was great. We used several preferred vendors who are very familiar with the Florian, and we were very pleased with them as well.
Of note, we had a couple of handicapped guests in wheelchairs. We felt it was very important to have a space truly wheelchair accessible. Each of the guests felt that navigating the Florian was easy and comfortable throughout the night.

My husband and I got married at the Florian in September 2023 and we had a great experience overall. Christy was our event coordinator throughout our time leading up to and on the day of our wedding. She was so helpful with the planning process and answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly, she was a great resource to have. I only gave 4 stars due to the fact that a few months after booking our wedding, the prices of the venue rental and menu/beverage offerings were increased which did apply to us. We were aware this was a possibility as stated in the contract however I feel that the raise in prices should not have been applied to those who signed a contract prior to the new price changes that were made. We signed a contract based on the previous advertised prices at the time and then a few months later were expected to pay more in which we had not budgeted for. Besides this, I enjoyed working with the Florian and their team and was pleased with how my wedding day turned out.

Absolutely beautiful venue with an excellent staff! Christy was our event coordinator & she made everything run smoothly in the days leading up to & of our wedding. Their outdoor area is gorgeous - we hosted our ceremony at their gazebo & took a lot of outdoor pictures - aren't expecting our professional ones back for a bit, but those that guests shared look great!
Received so many compliments on the food - buffet style provided on-site for a wedding isn't always something to rave about, but the Florian knocked it out of the park! Bar service was stellar & we used some of their recommended vendors & were pleased with all of them as well. Cannot recommend this venue enough! :)

The Florian is a beautiful venue, and a great option if you are on a budget and have a large guest list. We especially loved the outdoor space and had our ceremony at the gazebo. All staff, especially Amy (coordinator), were friendly and easy to work with. They communicated well with our vendors to pull the day together seamlessly.
Our only complaint was the food. We received several complaints from guests that the food (specifically the caprese chicken) was inedible. My husband and I tried all the food at the group tasting. We enjoyed and chose caprese chicken as an entree, but it was very different at when served at our wedding. We are not picky eaters and neither my husband or I ate the chicken that we had ordered as it was dry, rubbery, and flavorless.

Codey and I are so glad we chose The Florian as our wedding venue! The food was absolutely delicious! We had so many people come up to us raving about how great the food was and how beautiful the space was as well! Definitely have a lot of great spots for photos!!
We had Christy as our coordinator and she was so sweet and very accommodating, especially with all the questions and a few concerns I had leading up to the day. She really helped make our day run so smoothly! We asked if we could get access to the bridal/groom suites earlier, that way we could get some photos done before everyone arrives for the ceremony and she has no problem with that. We had our ceremony outside by the willow tree and leading up to the wedding the tree was struck by lightning twice and Christy immediately contacted me with pictures about the situation and gave us options on what we could do. When we looked at it during our 10day meeting, we decided to stick with the willow tree (as the damage was more so on the back side of it). I'd 100% recommend getting married here!

If you are looking for a beautiful event venue at an affordable price The Florian is the place for you! Both the outdoor and indoor spaces are gorgeous and perfect for large weddings. The indoor space is beautiful as is, but they work with you to make your wedding vision come to life. The food is delicious, and they have fun events leading up to the day for you to try all the food options. Amy, the venue coordinator, is extremely helpful and is quick to respond to any questions. One of the best parts about this location is the convenience of a hotel right next door. Our guests loved the lit path between the venue and the hotel, and no one had to drive which was a huge plus! Our only complaint was slow dinner service but like the rest of the world they are short staffed and it was difficult to control the temperature with a full dance floor.

The Florian Event Venue is a wonderful place to have a wedding during any season!! After doing our initial tour, we knew right away we wanted our wedding there. All of our guests repeatedly complimented the beauty of the venue and outdoor scenery. Our pictures were stunning with all of the trees, gazebo, pond, etc. behind us. It's a very accommodating place for guests too, as the ceremony, pictures and reception can all be held at the same place. Amy and everyone else at the venue were extremely kind, helpful and easy to communicate with. I strongly recommend having your special day be at The Florian, you'll love it as much as we did!!

We're so glad we chose The Florian as our wedding venue! We got married on Friday 8/19/22. Amy was literally the best coordinator I could have ever asked for. I can't recommend her enough. She's so sweet and understanding of all my worries and concerns, and even came to the rescue with safety pins for me when I was tripping on my dress! The gazebo and all the grounds outdoors is gorgeous for pictures, and the ballroom is extremely convenient for reception! I'd 100% recommend getting married here!

They were friendly, organized, timely, and provided great ideas and guidance. They ensured that everything went smoothly for us and always checked in to see if there was anything else they could do. The food was delicious including the late-night snacks (pizza and mac-n-cheese bar) and the make your own ice cream sundaes. Our wedding day was perfect thanks to Amy and the Florian staff.

The Florian is an amazing venue! Amy and team were so easy to work with, great communicators, they were very timely organized and great planners. The team allowed the day of event to run smoothly and perfectly. Our guest were raving about the how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue was. Amy was always checking in on the bridal party throughout the day to make sure everything was going smooth. We got married on a 95 degree day and it did get a little hot in the ballroom but Amy was trying her best to keep it cool inside. The buffet ran out of short ribs for the last few tables (probably because they were so good!) but Amy made sure to get the extra food out to the tables right away. Our wedding day was perfect all thanks to Amy and the Florian.

We had our wedding here June 25th, the venue itself was a beautiful location for our outdoor photos. Inside was updated and neutral enough to decorate. We had about 200 guests and there was plenty of room. The food was fantastic, we received multiple comments from guests saying it was the best "wedding food" they've had. Everyone on the bar team was friendly and responsive. Christy, our coordinator, was fantastic! Everything was organized, well run and she was exceptionally pleasant and accommodating. I would definitely recommend.

The food was delicious, the staff was so helpful and professional, and the event coordinators (Danielle and Stephanie) and are the absolute best! We had a bit of a complicated event order LOL, but Danielle made the planning process so easy and smooth! Both Danielle and Stephanie were always so helpful and willing to chat any time we had a question or special request. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience from The Florian! Highly recommend this venue! Not to mention, the property is absolutely gorgeous and so well kept...we did our wedding party photos around the pond post-ceremony and they turned out so beautiful! Our families and guests just couldn't stop raving about how great The Florian was after our wedding!

We booked with The Florian back in 2018 after our engagement. Little did we know that they would stick by our sides through a pandemic and be so accommodating when we had to postpone our 2020 reception to 2021. My husband and I could not be more pleased with their kindness, accommodations and services provided by The Florian. It was a rough road at the beginning of 2020 with so many unknowns but we stayed positive and had a beautiful reception in 2021.
We had lilac colors and the venue was beautiful with the uplighting and linens provided by The Florian. The garden was also in full bloom (May 29th) and the perfect spot for pictures.
We had a duet plate of chicken and fish which was a great option for guests - we received multiple comments on how good the dinner tasted. Also they have the best dinner rolls!!!
We did a beer, wine and soda package for our guests which I feel was a good mix and option. We had a special tab with a passcode for a small amount of our guests that was charged to a credit card at the end of the night for any orders that were not included in our beverage package. This was easy to make happen. The bartenders that served us throughout the night were funny, kind and personable and I even taught one of them how to make a white sangria haha!!
We could not be more happy with The Florian and highly recommend this venue for any celebration.

Wow, in reflecting on our absolutely incredible wedding day, I honestly cannot have pictured a better day. My husband and I were married on 10/2/20 at The Florian.
From the second we toured it it a year ago, I knew that it was the setting in which I wanted to marry my best friend! We signed the contract pretty much right away- before having tried any of the food. The Florian does Bridal Events seasonally for interested couples to try food, see how the venue can be set up, meet vendors, etc. We attended 3 of them prior to our wedding so we could sample all the food options. I highly recommend doing this. Each and every time we attended a Bridal Event, I was more and more giddy about our wedding.
Like many couples, my husband and I went back and forth about whether to continue forward with our wedding or not, but ultimately, we decided to keep our wedding date. I was incredibly satisfied with how The Florian handled COVID precautions. They were upfront and and had guidelines in place- and though they couldn't enforce mask wearing and such, the staff was very professional and took the guidelines seriously. Many of our guests even commented on how much that gave them comfort and reassurance in attending our wedding. Afterwards, my husband and I were really happy that we moved forward, despite our worries and some family not being able to attend.
Both Stephanie and Danielle are honestly amazing and so nice- I truly felt they cared about the couples and waned to be sure our wedding was exactly what we imagined. We primarily worked with Stephanie, and the day of, she was honestly a God-send. She made sure everything went off without a hitch and I had not a single concern (I am normally a strong type A personality, but I had every bit of confidence in Stephanie and her experience). Stephanie was very attentive and prompt in responding to my many emails and phone calls. She guided me through the rough patches of wedding planning and offered comfort and reassurance as we finalized plans. On our wedding day, she made sure that we had every detail covered and was so gracious in accommodating my requests.
The food was out of this world delicious! I was so pleased with everything and we had so many compliments on the food!! (Our menu included: bacon wrapped water chestnuts/bruschetta, salad, grilled chicken breast marsala and slow roasted boneless BBQ short ribs with honey butter carrots and roasted red potatoes with rosemary.) The staff were all very friendly and professional. And of course the bar staff was awesome, on point and kept everyone happy!
I cannot say enough good things about The Florian. I would choose to have my wedding there over and over because it truly was a dream wedding come true! Thank you to The Florian staff for making sure our day was absolutely incredible! <3

The Florian was amazing for our Fall wedding. The two coordinators Danielle and Stephanie are amazing to work with and are happy to help with any questions or concerns. The food was incredible as was the service. They also hold a showcase to help you meet other vendors and try all their food in a phenomenal setting. Highly recommend! It's beautiful any time of the year.

We had our wedding reception at The Florian, and we could not be happier with that decision. Our entire experience with the Florian and its staff was amazing. From planning and tasting events to our wedding day, everything was executed wonderfully. Stephanie and Danielle are so helpful and organized – easy to work with. The venue itself is stunning. The only thing we did not appreciate was the inflexibility surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately we are glad we decided to move forward with our wedding, but for awhile we were considering moving the date (which friends and relatives had no problem doing – multiple times – at other venues) and were frustrated that the venue was not more flexible given the current situation. However, our wedding day was PERFECT, and that was in large part to the amazing food, the event management team at the venue, and its beautiful setting.

Planning a wedding is stressful, planning a wedding during and pandemic is unimaginable. Stephanie and Danielle made the whole processes easy. They responded quickly to my questions and made our wedding day dreams come true. The Florian is an excellent all in one venue, we, and our guests loved the location. If you are looking for a place where you can do it all, look no further!

I never had a dream location in mind for my wedding but what I did know was that I pictured a gazebo and wanted a coordinator who cared about my needs. I found The Florian while searching for venues near me and was quickly drawn in by their outdoor setup. The gazebo, willow tree, pond with a fountain, rock garden, and lit up cocktail area were very picturesque.
On the day that we met with Stephanie, we were charmed by how friendly, supportive, and organized she was. She helped us feel important and cared for right away. Did I forget to mention that the indoor areas are JUST as beautiful as the outdoors? We had the opportunity to converse with Danielle through emails and she was just as willing to help us in any way that she could.
I am a huge planner at heart so I truly appreciated how prompt Stephanie was with her responses and how kind she was, even when we were asking TONS of questions! She made wedding planning much easier than I expected because she took on a lot of the responsibility and provided us with detailed plans so we could design our dream wedding.
Even when COVID frightened us, Stephanie kept us informed with any/all adjustments that were needed. Our fears were quickly eased the month before our wedding when all of the small details were hammered down. Stephanie helped with everything and offered needed suggestions. With everything going on in the world, we didn't expect our wedding to pan out as we intended.
It was even better. Our wedding was lovely and The Florian's staff treated us with the utmost respect. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and our guests raved about the location and the services they received as well. Thank you for helping our vision come to life and working so hard to make sure our wedding was everything that we hoped for. We appreciate you and hope that our paths will cross again in the future. Sending lots of love <3

I had gotten married here on 9.5.2020 and I had such an awesome experience. I can’t say enough about Danielle and Stephanie. They kept me informed about everything even throughout this crazy year. They were always so helpful and took so much stress off me. The day was beautiful, the food was amazing, I could not have asked for a better day. I would recommend this venue to everyone so hopefully I can come back as a guest.

This venue has everything you need onsite. Great service and food, updated in every area, and easy for guests to walk or make a quick drive to the hotel next door at the end of the night. Cannot say enough good things about Stephanie! She’s sweet and really pays attention to detail and what you want on your wedding day. Super fast to respond to any question and was a great support on the day of for schedule and activities, keeping the day moving exactly how you want it. Nothing but great things to say about the Florian.

We are so glad that we chose the Florian Event Venue for both our ceremony and reception! From the moment we first toured, we were struck by the professionalism of the staff and the beautiful grounds and building. Danielle and the rest of the Florian staff made our wedding day (and planning process) as easy as possible! We were originally planning to have the ceremony outside under the willow tree, but weather forced us inside the day before the wedding - yes, it was the first weekend of November, but it was 65 and sunny the week before :). Danielle had several set up options ready to go before we even asked her. She made sure that the ceremony and reception ran smoothly. The food was excellent; we appreciated the bridal fairs they throw quarterly where you can taste the food options. It was also how we met most of our vendors. It was nice to know who they had worked with in the past and recommended. Guests even commented how great of a venue it is! We had a lot of people traveling to the wedding and they appreciated how close it is located to hotels. We HIGHLY recommend the Florian Event Venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, all-in-one space to get married.

Where do I begin with our amazing experience? We booked The Florian for our wedding Oct. 11 2019. We met with Stephanie for our original meeting and she was sweet and wonderful, then worked with Danielle the rest of the time and she was super great, too! The venue was perfect for what we wanted, ceremony and reception in 1 place, food and drinks provided on site, basically a one stop shop for everything we would need. Leading up to our Wedding, Danielle was very informative and responded quickly with any questions. She was sympathetic to our concerns about the rain in the forecast and was willing to work with us up to the last minute in case we had to move the ceremony inside. The chairs were already set up outside and it had been raining earlier in the day, but we watched the whole staff work frivolously to dry them off before the ceremony started, and they let the guests wait inside the lobby where it was dry and warm before heading down to the gazebo. The ballroom turned out beautiful, the up lighting is 100% worth the price, and the added draping table linens on the Headtable was the perfect touch. Danielle was available every step of the way, even offering to help with any setup needs we had. The bathrooms are big enough and clean, the Bridal and Groom suites are a nice private area to do touch ups, dress bustling, pictures, and even used for some guests to nurse their babies. The food was the best wedding food I've had, and we had a lot of people compliment on how delicious it was! I recommend going to as many bridal fairs as you can that they have throughout the year to do taste testing. Make notes on the menus and save them to compare later! The bartenders were friendly and worked quickly throughout the night. Beautiful site, so many areas for some great photos, you won't need to go anywhere else!

We could not be happier with our decision to choose The Florian as our venue for our wedding! The fountain, willow tree, and gazebo were so beautiful and memorable for the ceremony. The building and ballroom were spacious and beautifully arranged, with exceptional uplighting. The staff was spectacular from beginning to end, particularly Danielle who was so kind, flexible, and helpful through the whole planning process, and especially on the day of our wedding. The value of the venue is great for all that you get compared to the many venues we went through in the area. Also, there is a newly renovated hotel right next door which is so convenient for guests. We would highly recommend The Florian to anyone looking for an amazing and affordable venue!

We had a great experience working with Danielle and the rest of the staff at The Florian this past summer for our wedding! Danielle was easy to work with, answered all our questions promptly, helped us work through decisions and ideas to make the day our own, and kept us well-informed about policies and pricing throughout the process. The grounds and venue are beautiful, which made it an easy spot to take pictures, and our guests loved it! Very happy with our decision!

The Florian was one of the most beautiful event venues we've been to. We just loved the outside ceremony with the pond and gazebo. It had a beautiful background for amazing photos, and it created such a romantic ambiance. The venue itself isn't too small, but big enough to fit more than enough for a large wedding of 200+. Stephanie was just an amazing host. She was nice, professional, and she really worked with us to make our wedding feel like it was our own. The food options were great as well. The only thing I hoped they could have done was allow our guests to have seconds for all the food that we paid for or at least for the people that went up and asked. There was more than enough left. Otherwise, we loved everything about the venue, and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thank you Florian Event Venue and team!

My wife and I were married at The Florian on June 15th, 2019. Back when we first toured the venue, there were hundreds of little things that immediately stood out to me as beautiful. Now that the process is complete, and we our basking in the afterglow, we have been able to comprehend and discuss just how great of a decision we made to have our big day at this place.
The groundscrew and landscape artists put together a scene that couldn't be properly described by any combination of words. Simply gorgeous work.
The wait staff, bartenders, cooks, and assistants were folks who paid attention to detail and executed their roles extremely well.
Stephanie Cresci is a woman who, from our first meeting, struck us as an absolute professional. She is detail oriented, both helpful and insightful, patient, accommodating, and passionate about her work. Stephanie went above and beyond every single step of the way, and helped my wife and I enjoy the wedding of our dreams.
You all did this for us, and this review is the least I can do for you. Hands down, Five Stars.
Sincerely,
Joseph and Jessica Neff

We can't say enough about how great Florian Park was for our wedding day, particularly Danielle and Stephanie. We had the privilege to work with both of them, and they were excellent. Very speedy in their replies, flexible with our desires, giving us options, completely transparent, and friendly in all our interactions. On the day, Danielle was on top of everything, making sure everything was going smoothly throughout the entire night. Communication was clear throughout the entire process, and our day went exactly as we all planned we wanted it to go. Lastly, the grounds and facilities at Florian Park were absolutely stunning, fitting everyone comfortably inside, and providing beautiful walking paths, picture perfect scenery, and convenient location. Florian was the perfect place for us to have our wedding.

I don't have enough words to describe our experience with Stephanie and her team at the Florian. From day one she answered all of my questions, even the ones I felt silly for asking! Stephanie made the process of planning a wedding reception easy and stress-free. On the day of our reception she checked in with us to make sure we had every thing we needed and kept us informed on how the night was going to run. I don't think my husband and I would have had our perfect day without her and her team. Pick the Florian and you will not be disappointed!
