Above and beyond

I genuinely could not recommend Florentine Gardens more. The service was absolutely amazing from the minute we stepped foot into the venue. Samantha was an absolute pleasure to work with and made sure everything we wanted was executed the day of our wedding. She was available 24/7 for our questions and was extremely responsive. She is so kind and friendly and we felt as though we gained a friend by the end of the planning process. SHE IS THE BEST! Also, 11/10 recommend using Sal Travis Entertainment for the theatrical lighting package, wrap up video, DJ Tony Gia and Sax Man Art!! Sal got us our dream team!! Everyone’s feet hurt by the end of the night from how much we were all nonstop dancing and everyone RAVED about how beautifully and fast the wrap up video came together! Also our Maitre D George was so professional and amazing to work with. My bridal attendant Li did not skip a beat and was absolutely amazing the whole night making sure everyone had what they needed. The entire staff at Florentine is beyond professional and I would not have wanted our wedding anywhere else!! We are forever grateful!

Cherie & Justin's Wedding 08/10/24

Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, thanks to the remarkable team who brought it all together. Cherie and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, and it’s all thanks to the incredible professionals who made it happen.
First and foremost, Ciro and Sal were exceptional throughout the entire planning process. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable. They worked with us closely to ensure every detail matched our vision, and their commitment to making sure everything went off without a hitch was truly impressive. From the logistics to the ambiance, Ciro and Sal made sure our big day was flawless.
Tony Gia, our DJ, brought the perfect energy to the reception. He kept the dance floor packed from the first song to the last. Tony has a true talent for reading the room and curating a playlist that resonated with all our guests. We couldn’t have imagined a better soundtrack to our wedding celebration, and Tony made it all happen seamlessly.
A special and heartfelt thank you to Shar, our incredibly talented videographer. Not only did she capture the most important moments of the day, but she also went above and beyond by creating the stunning “After Glow” video. It was truly a work of art. The way she captured the emotions, the candid moments, and the joy of the day was simply breathtaking. We’ll forever cherish that video as a beautiful reminder of our wedding. Her vision, creativity, and ability to tell a story through film are unparalleled, and we couldn’t be happier with the result.
Jorge was another key part of the day’s success. His attention to detail and calm demeanor made the entire day flow effortlessly. From the ceremony to the reception, Jorge was always on top of things, making sure that everything was exactly where it needed to be when it needed to be there. Cherie and I were able to fully enjoy ourselves because we knew Jorge had everything under control.
Lastly, a huge thank you to Julianna, our bridal attendant, who was simply amazing. She was attentive to every need, big or small, and made sure that Cherie and I were always comfortable and relaxed. Her kindness and thoughtfulness made the day feel even more special, and she truly went the extra mile to ensure we were well taken care of.
From start to finish, this team worked together to make our wedding day unforgettable. Ciro, Sal, Tony Gia, Shar, Jorge, and Julianna made the day seamless, stress-free, and filled with joy. If you’re looking for a dream team to help you plan and execute your wedding, look no further. Their professionalism, dedication, and talent are second to none, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Absolutely phenomenal venue!!!!

My husband and I just had our wedding this past weekend at the beautiful Estate at Florentine Gardens and I was absolutely blown away!! We worked with Ciro and Samantha who from the bottom of our hearts we appreciate more than anything. They helped us throughout the last 2 years of our engagement every step of the way to plan the most perfect wedding day. From the moment I walked into the venue at 9am the morning of my wedding I was taken care of along with my entire bridal party. We were served food and drinks all day long, from start to finish everything was absolutely flawless! I can’t even express how helpful my bridal attendant Joy was she did absolutely everything for me from making sure I was fed, a touch up, fixing every inch of my dress for each photo, helping me change and walk around everywhere, she checked in with me all night long it was absolutely incredible! The entire Florentine team is SOO well organized they kept the day ruining smoothly and on time thank you to our maitre’d Jeff who ran the entire show!! He allowed me to have a peaceful wedding day while he took care of everything else! We also booked our videography with Sal Travis and team our videographers were Jesse and Tom and they did an absolutely incredible job! They stayed along side our photographer all day long capturing every single moment for us! We did the same day edit for the wedding that we played on Florentines screens during the wedding and my guests were absolutely floored!! We couldn’t believe the video they shot it was absolutely beautiful I have numerous guests including myself saying they watched the video a million times we were blown away and couldn’t ask for a better memory that we get to cherish forever! Thank you so much to the entire Florentine family for treating us like family on our wedding day the venue makes your entire wedding and we would choose Florentine over and over again!! What are you waiting for book them now!!
