The best night of our lives!!
This venue gave us the wedding day of our dreams! The food, the service, the grounds are 50000/10. The day was seamless everyone was extremely professional and easy to work with. Our bridal attendant Lee was the best of the best! The food was insane we got so many compliments from our guests about it. Maria who helped us organize our whole day was amazing and so helpful. This venue makes the day easy and we are so happy we chose them for our wedding! Plus it’s a stunning venue!!-

Katie O. Married on 02/17/2023Best Day of Our Lives
My husband and I were married at The Estate at Florentine Gardens on February 17th, 2023 and our day could not have been more perfect. Our wedding experience was seamless from the day we booked! Ciro and Samantha could not have been more helpful and accommodating throughout the whole planning process. The were always available to answer our questions, and truly took ALL of the stress out of the planning process. It truly was such a pleasure working with them both, and we will miss doing so!
We also booked their In-House entertainment package which was the BEST decision ever. Sal is so kind and gave us so many amazing ideas to really make our reception pop. We are still in awe with how LIT our reception was. DJ Tony Gia (who is included in their entertainment package) is also amazing, he met with my husband and I multiple times before the wedding to ensure our wedding playlist was tailored exactly to our liking...all of our guests still talk about how amazing the music was.
Also included in our In-House entertainment package was their Wrap Up video, which is by far one of my favorite takeaways from the day. Their videographer, Shar, truly worked wonders. She made filming the day SO fun, and we had one of the best wedding videos I have seen in our email before our night was even over-there are just no words!
Our bridal attendant, Lee and our Maître d', Jorge were also just truly amazing. Anything we wanted or needed was cared for immediately. They were so accommodating, and made the whole day run smoothly. Lee even took 100 photos of my husband and I throughout the day so we would have pictures to reminisce on that night. It is the little things like (which you do not even think about) that really make the difference.
Of course, the food was to die for, every guest was blown away. Our guests are still contacting us saying that our wedding at Florentine was hands down the best wedding they have been to in their lifetime.
I could not recommend The Estate at Florentine Gardens enough. Our day was nothing short of perfect, there is not a single thing I would change.
Love,
The Giglios
