What a wonderful venue my daughter got married there in October and I still here from people that it was one of the best weddings they have ever been too. It is apparently better than The Rockleigh according to most of the guests!!!!!

This is the most wonderful reception venue! The food, service, and staff were amazing. I used several of their in-house services: Sal Travis Entertainment- After we booked at Florentine we went to a showcase for the House Band and immediately booked the full entertainment package with Sal. The band was absolutely phenomenal and we are still getting people telling us how amazing the band was. Included in the Theatrical Package was also a slideshow of our baby and growing up pics, and a video wrap up of our reception. Everyone still is talking about the wrap up. It was amazing! Sal also added in wall uplights to accent the room in a splash of pink. We also had a GOBO of our monogram on the dance floor the entire night which looked great! Reel Moments- We were a little unsure about videography since we booked everything through Sal Travis and discussed our video with him and not the videographer himself. The day of the wedding however, Eric was wonderful to work with and we even found out he knew one of our groomsmen and our Rabbi loved him. We have only seen our montage and wrap up video but both were done so beautifully! Oliver Leoni and staff- Our bridal attendant Andrea was fantastic! She was there the whole time and did whatever we asked her to do. She gave us cool towels during our pictures before the ceremony, carried around my dress, got my flip flops when my shoes started hurting me, etc. She really was our personal assistant all night! She brought food to us during the cocktail hour so we didn’t have to move a muscle and draped my dress with a sheet so I didn’t get food on me LOL. The Maitre ‘D, Rich made sure that everything during the reception ran smoothly. If anything went awry we had no clue because everything was perfect! He even ran a rehearsal with the bridal party right before the ceremony. Oliver, was our go to guy from the beginning when we booked. He was very helpful and made sure everything went the way we wanted it. He was very diplomatic with our parents during the planning process and assured us that we would get what we wanted and we did. He schmoosed our parents and he used his charm for example to get us the sushi bar we wanted during cocktail hour.Overall, the food was absolutely amazing. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour and we asking us if that was dinner because there was SO MUCH FOOD! The dinner was wonderful and our cake looked and tasted fantastic! The design was exactly how we wanted it; to match the running theme of all our stationary. I would recommend Florentine to anyone who wants a wedding people will be talking about (in a good way) forever!

The Estate at Florentine Gardens was the perfect location for our wedding. Everything turned out better than we had ever hoped. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing!! The wedding cake was part of the package and it came out exactly as I had envisioned. Plus, the cake was moist and delicious - the best wedding cake we've had, usually they are a little dry. Its been over 6 months since our wedding and we're still receiving compliments about the food and location.

Everything about the Florentine Gardens is wonderful from the food to the employees. My husband and I could not have been happier.The DJ and videography was all done through the Florentine Gardens by Sal Travis Entertainment. The DJ was awesome as well as the video. There were so many special effects and a beautiful photo montage of me and my husband. I loved every minute of my wedding and people are still talking about how it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

This beautiful place is a dream come true for any Bride & Groom. The staff were very helpful & professional to the point where the Bride & Groom had nothing to worry about. The food were amazing, very tasteful & delicious. We had also used their in-house Videographer & DJ by Sal Travis. The video Montag they did of us was unforgettable . We highly recommend using their Videographer & DJ. All of our guests are still raving about how Florentine did a great job & all had a wonderful time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding at the Florentine and would recommend it to any bride and groom. Denise is a wonderful planner who worked hard to give us the day of our dreams and we would suggest working with her if possible.

Overall a wonderful experience. During the months leading up to the wedding the actual coordinator that met with us the first time was not very good with emails and responding promptly I sometimes had to call multiple times to get a response or get a hold of the person. It wasn't really until a week or two before the actual event that I was really given the attention so that's the only downfall of the whole experience. The night of I couldn't ask for anything more the Maitre'd was amazing the bridal attendant was super and the location obviously spoke for itself the food is impeccable and there were no issues throughout the whole night. A+ for staff during the event and attention to detailB- for the responsiveness during the time leading up to the wedding by the coordinator Overall A

Almost everything about that day was beyond my wildest dreams. The only downfall was the sales man who does the entertainment. watch out he's a real salesman but he didnt exactly come through on the big day with all the promises. But the Florentine was out of the this world especially my event planner denise.

Florentine Gardens was a wonderful venue, and we were so lucky to have sun on our wedding day at the end of winter for outdoor photos in their beautiful garden. Noelle was wonderful to work with in planning our special day. Kristin was amazing as an assistant(?) that day, holding up my dress, helping me change shoes (and use the bathroom!). When someone stepped on my dress during photos and the gathering came out, they found a seamstress on the premises to control the damage. My only complaint is that, despite requesting that the staff treat a celebrity guest the same as everyone else, the staff approached my guest during the wedding and requested photographs together, using our wedding photographer. This occurred after we cut the cake, and our wedding cake was never served! They sent it home with us in a big box, what a major disappointment! I found this to be rather unprofessional.
