Amazing venue

I just had my wedding at the absolutely beautiful Estate at Florentine Gardens. 5 stars is not enough for the attention to detail, level of service, and professionalism we received leading up to and during our Wedding Day.

Jason was phenomenal, he was extremely responsive and really cared about the experience me and my husband had along with our families. He took excellent care of us and I always felt like I was in great hands. His professionalism, care, and attention to detail are unmatched!

Monica, my bridal attendant was THE BEST THERE IS. She was on her feet from early morning to late at night and was on top of absolutely everything- steaming dresses, bustling my dress, and somehow managed to keep track of my husband's tuxedo as he removed his jacket, bowtie, and suspenders throughout the night. At the end of the night everything in our bridal suite was organized and ready for us to take back or pickup the next day. I truly can't say enough about how wonderful she is- I didn't worry about ONE thing all day. I would turn around to ask for some water and/or champagne and Monica would already be there holding both. We used nearly all in-house vendors, including Sal Travis Entertainment.

We used the House Band, Mirror Photobooth, DJ Tony G for our after party, and the Lighting Package along with live musicians for our ceremony and cocktail hour. If you want to WOW your guests and dance the night away I can't stress enough how Sal and his team are the best there is. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how amazing our band was and DJ Tony G lit up the after party with a curated playlist I couldn't get enough of. Prior to the big day Sal was extremely responsive and made sure all our music was perfect (which it was!). If you're considering the Florentine Gardens, I urge you to lock in your date, it was the most fun amazing beautiful day.

Perfection. A dream come true.

I am trying to find the right words to sum up my incredible experience with this venue. It was the first one I toured and I booked immediately that day based off its beauty alone. Denise from the very beginning made us feel like family and was by my side every step of the way. Sal made us feel at complete ease and executed all of our ceremony and reception requests while exceeding our expectations. Jeff brought calm and order to what at times seemed like a very overwhelmingly emotional day. DJ Tony Gia made the party feel like a movie. He took all our very picky and out of the ordinary requests and delivered on all of them and more. Jesse's wrap up video- as my guests now say- looked like Spielberg directed it himself. And Leila- who as I tear up as I write this, was the most memorable of my day. It wouldn't have been what it was without her. From 8am to the end of night- she never once left my side. If I needed it- she had it. It got to a point where she began to read my mind. I will never forget all that she did to bring me such a strong sense of peace on that day. There will never be enough thank yous for her- and everyone at the Florentine family. Guests are saying from the food to entertainment to everything in between, it was the best venue they've ever been to, and best wedding they've ever experienced. Book them ASAP

Best Venue For a Wedding!

My spouse and I looked at around 11 other venues, and none come close to what you get at The Estate at Florentine Gardens. First off, the whole venue is GORGEOUS, with a beautiful, freshly made ceremony room, cozy but classy cocktail room, and a spectacular elegant ballroom for your reception. Even the hallways, groomsmen suite, and the bridal suites are amazing - they're big, stunning and are perfect for getting ready. If you're considering a winter or summer wedding, this venue is perfect. Even you're in the summer and it gets rained out, you'll still have a picture-perfect ceremony room, so really there is no need to worry. We did our wedding just a week ago and it was amazing!

Not only does this venue wow your guests in terms of how it looks, but the staff are INCREDIBLE. We worked with Samantha (our event consultant), Jeffery (our maître d'), Monica & Max (our bridal attendants), Sal (entertainment services), DJ Tony Gia, and Shar (videographer). From day 1, Samantha was always enthusiastic and patient about our many many many questions that we asked throughout the whole entire year before our wedding. She was a joy to work with! Everything was done professionally and the answers provided truly reflects how much this venue knows and understands how to run a good wedding. Monica, Jeffery, and Max were with us the day of the wedding and they truly ran the show behind the scenes. They were there to answer any questions, take all the stress off of us and our families, and made sure everything was on time and done well. There was really nothing we needed to worry about because Jeffery, Monica, and Max were well coordinated and knew exactly what to do, even with our outside vendors (photographer and florists).

One of the best things about The Estate at Florentine Gardens is that they also have amazing entertainment services. If you end up booking this venue, we highly recommend using Sal Travis and his team. Sal was always ready to provide us good song selections and help us craft our package for what we would like to have (lighting, videography, DJ, sparkler towers photo booth, ceremony music, and so much more). DJ Tony Gia was the best - he kept our dance floor up and dancing the whole night and was an amazing MC. Sal's team of videographers were also outstanding and blew our guests away. They were able to catch everything live and even produce an amazing wrap-up video to display at the end of the night.

Our friends and families members who have been to so many weddings before said that our wedding was the best wedding that they have ever been to, and we know that it's because The Estate at Florentine Gardens is 1. beautiful, 2. provides the highest quality of service, and 3. is truly working to ensure your day goes smoothly, and 4. the food is so DELICIOUS!! (we had endless amounts of food flowing from our cocktail to reception to after, everyone said they were so full and thought it tasted amazing)!
