The Best Wedding Venue

The Estate at Florentine Gardens is THE venue to book! From the time we walked in, we knew that this was it for us. From the décor, to the staff, to the level of professionalism, everything was top tier.

Samantha assisted us from beginning to end. She was available whenever we needed. Her attention to every email and detail was phenomenal. Ciro made sure that our day was planned to perfection, and that we got everything we wanted. The staff at Florentine were also amazing, and warmly welcomed us every time we visited the Estate.

My Husband and I also had the best bridal attendants, Lee and Monica. They were super professional and made sure that our day ran smoothly and was perfect. They made sure that we did not have to worry, and that we were able to enjoy our special day.
Our wedding was the wedding of our dreams, thanks to Florentine! To top it off, Sal, and the entertainment team did and amazing job on the Wrap Up video! It was PERFECT. Our guests really enjoyed how they were able to be a part of our entire day from beginning end. Everyone also enjoyed the lighting and theatrics that were included during our reception!

The Florentine has this down to a science!

Gordon and I got married here a few days ago and were absolutely thrilled with every aspect of the day, even 17 months out when we first booked the date! Ciro, Samantha, Sal, Tony, Monica, Celeste, and Jorge made this day go by without a hitch and people are still reaching out to tell us just how much fun they had on our big day.

Celia and Bong Bunagan 50th Wedding Anniversary

Bong and I was so happy to work with Denise, the executive consultant. Her knowledge, professionalism, organization and attention to details are just outstanding. We wish a simple but classic and elegant 50th wedding anniversary and she was able to make our dreams come true, uniquely ours and make that special day run flawless.
Sal, the director of entertainment and services, with his leadership and professional expertise, provided excellent consultation on entertainment. The personalized lazer monogram was a perfect addition to the dance floor and everyone loved it. His team from the lighting, videographer and dj make our anniversary so special, perfect and one of a kind.
DJ Rob is a high level professional, not only coming from us but from our guests. He was great in keeping our timeline moving along from speeches, first dances, dinner, cake cutting and each event was announced clearly to guests to keep the day flowing. Everybody enjoyed the game “name that song” a great hit especially to the guests who won the prize. All of us had a wonderful time at our anniversary, it starts with great music, but it ends with an amazing DJ Rob.
Videographer Jesse is a wonderful man and truly a professional in his field. He has the patience to tell us what is best for the video. He was instantly able to put my family and guests at ease and capture some captivating videos. He is creative, has an amazing eye, a lot of fun and easy to work with and make our experience memorable.
I did not expect I will have a bridal assistant, Monica on the day of my anniversary. She brought us to the bridal suite when we arrived and continental breakfast was waiting for us. She was with me the whole time of the event, assisted me of what I needed, ensuring that everything was executed effectively and that no important details were overlooked that makes me feel comfortable and happy.
This is the second time we used The Estate of Florentine Gardens. My younger son also used the venue when he got married. Our guests have positive comments about this place and put their pictures on the social media, how beautiful the inside as well as the outside, the food was delicious and excellent from the cocktail hour to the dinner. All of them were surprised when they were asked “do you want seconds”. Everybody working at Florentine Gardens are very courteous and professionals, we all feel that we are so special and all our guests are so impressed, cannot stop talking about their experiences and enjoyed themselves so much. A BIG THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE TEAM AND WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
