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
