We can't thank Florentine enough for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!! We would recommend The Estate at Florentine Gardens to anyone! My husband and I were married on September 27, 2020. Denise and her team made sure our day was absolutely perfect. Our cocktail hour and reception were both outside under the gorgeous tent space. One of the main reasons we chose Florentine Gardens was for the beautiful outdoor space and elegant feel of the grounds. Our guests were able to enjoy the beauty of the estate from the cocktail hour all the way to the outdoor after-party. The food was amazing and very abundant! Denise was our wedding consultant and was by our side for the entire wedding process. She is seriously the best around! Denise was so informative and so easy to talk to. She answered all of our questions and eased all of our worries. She helped us with decisions big and small, from making our cocktail hour and dinner selections, to helping us through the difficult... Read more decision to postpone our wedding day (our original wedding day was July 4, 2020). We used many of the Florentine recommended vendors, which were all amazing to work with. Sal Travis and his videographer Jesse created us the most amazing wrap up video and the House Band kept everyone dancing all night! Our bridal attendant Kerry and maitre d Jeffrey were the best! Kerry was so attentive to both me and my husband. From making sure we always had a drink in hand, to helping me bustle my dress, to making sure we ate dinner, Kerry was awesome! Jeffery kept us on schedule and ensured our guests had a great night. We thank the entire Florentine team for the most amazing and memorable day!

All I can say is AMAZING!!!!! My husband and I unfortunately had to navigate planning a wedding during COVID which left us with many changes and uncertainty. Going through this process solidified and made me even happier that I chose to get married at Florentine. We booked our June 2020 date two years ago with Maria, and she didn't ever leave our side throughout the process - ups and downs. Emotions were definitely at their high in the beginning of COVID on all ends, but that never interfered with them doing anything and everything that they could to make our dream wedding possible. After a few different date changes, we finally had our wedding this past Saturday 10/17. The whole day from beginning to end was more than I could have ever asked or hoped for. Our guests are still calling and texting myself, my husband, and our parents to tell us that it was the best wedding they ever been to. Florentine went above and beyond with all of the health and safety measures needed to take place ... Read moregiven the current situation, and all of my guests informed us that they felt safe from the minute they walked into the doors. If there is any hesitation or contemplating on where you'd want to get married, I'd choose Florentine over and over a million times. Thank you for making our dream wedding happen, even during a pandemic!!!

Dear Ciro and the Florentine Gardens family, Thank you so much for letting us use your venue for our beautiful wedding yesterday. My dreams really came to life and i am beyond happy about how it turned out. From Ciro to the staff everything worked out smoothly and Ciro has been an amazing help to us this past year as well as the rest of the staff, and Sal. We can’t thank you enough for everything you done to make this happen for us. We love you guys!

Amazing is all I have to say! There is not even one bad thing that I have to say about Florentine Gardens. From the beginning, Maria was so helpful with everything and answered any questions that I had. Our original wedding date was supposed to be May 16th, but unfortunately 2020 had other plans. Luckily, we were able to reschedule for September 19th and they put so much work into making it absolutely beautiful for us! Because we were afraid our guests might not be comfortable being inside, we had our reception in their beautiful tent outside. For entertainment we decided to use Sal Travis, who was a pleasure to work with. He made us feel very comfortable that everything would be perfect. We ended up getting our DJ, photobooth, and video through him for a very reasonable price. DJ Tony Gia was great, he really knows how to get the party started! The photobooth was so much fun for my guests ( I wish I had more time in there as well!). The videographers were phenomenal, they captured ... Read morethe entire day with cameras as well as a drone (which was really cool!) and did a same day edit wrap up video that we got to watch at the end of the night. I can't wait to see the rest of the footage when they are done editing. Last but DEFINITELY not least, I have to give a shoutout to my amazing bridal attendant! She was an absolute darling and made sure that I had anything and everything I needed on my wedding day. If it wasn't for her I probably would have not eaten or drank anything the entire day lol. She took great care of my bridesmaids as well while we were getting ready in the morning. Despite things not going as they had been planned originally, I am absolutely thrilled that when the day finally came that it went so perfectly, and would 100% recommend Florentine Gardens to anyone who is looking for a venue.

My husband and I got married at the Florentine Gardens last Saturday and we are still on cloud nine! We really could not be any happier with our wedding day and the process leading up to it. Ever since our first visit at the estate, we knew we were going to be in good hands and that it was going to be very special. We were not wrong! First, I just want to say how SPECTACULAR the Florentine Gardens looks. When we booked our date we knew that they were going to be doing some renovations and that we would be one of the first weddings in the new ballroom. Maria and Ciro made us feel very confident that the room would be finished in time and Ciro even took the time to talk to my dad who works in construction! Of course, we knew that it would be beautiful, but it was beyond anything we had imagined. Our guests are still telling us how gorgeous and elegant it was. Next, I have to mention how professional, attentive, and kind all the staff were. Maria, Ciro, Samantha, and Jorge were gre... Read moreat to work with. I cannot express enough how we were able to wholly trust that they knew what they were doing, which really helped us feel at ease during the planning process. We truly felt like they were personally invested in our day and wanted it to be everything we hoped and dreamed. I would be remiss if I didn’t give my bridal attendant, Kerry, a shout out. She was by my side all day to help with literally anything I needed. Again, as with all the other staff, she was calm and reassuring and this was super helpful on such an overwhelming day. She was also a bustle expert! Lastly, the food was amazing. Many guests kept coming up to me saying how they ate their entire meal, something they don’t typically do at weddings. Cocktail hour in the beautiful new cocktail hour room was also a big hit. The taco bar, Maria and Ciro’s suggestion, was a crowd pleaser in particular. People also really loved the wine and cheese pairing station! Not familiar with weddings in norther NJ, one group of guests from out of state thought the cocktail hour was the whole event! They were so impressed by the array of delicious hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Dessert and the send-off station were also lovely touches that people really appreciated. I really could go on and on about how wonderful everything turned out. In sum, it was a magical day that we will remember forever. Choosing the Florentine Gardens was definitely the best decision we made since getting engaged. I would recommend it a million times over.

Maria (and the whole team at Florentine) When we first found out we would need to postpone our wedding that we booked TWENTY SEVEN months ago, I’m not gonna lie I was pretty depressed. This day we had planned in our heads for over two years was gone. For me it was way longer than the 27 months. I knew in 2015 at my cousins wedding at Florentine that this would be my wedding venue. When we got engaged 2 years later, Tom asked me “what venues do you want to look at?” I looked at him and said “venue and Florentine gardens. We’re booking there no matter what.” You were the only venue we looked at. We didn’t need to look anywhere else. Tom being Tom didn’t really remember the venue like I did but once we met with Maria we knew this would be the place we would celebrate and start our marriage. As everyone knows, this did not go as we had planned. However, after meeting with you and your dad today and booking our new date, we are just as happy and excited as we were... Read more January 20, 2018. We cannot wait to share this day with you and we really cannot express how grateful we are to have you as part of our family. Thank you for being so accommodating and so understanding during these terrible times. Today, you made everything for us okay. Today, you made us excited again to get married because we have had this cloud glooming over us. What was once sadness, is now excitement and happiness. We cannot wait to celebrate with you on our NEW date July 11th. (We just found out that two of my grandmas siblings, my aunt Josie and my aunt Orsola were both married on this day. We also just so happened to put on an old mets game and saw my grandpa in the crowd today. So we truly believe everything happened for a reason ❤️ ❤️) Now that my long rant is done, we hope it is only smooth sailing from here! Love always Meaghan & Tom

Dear Ciro, AJ, & the Florentine team, We cannot express how truly thankful we are for you. Your team saved our wedding and allowed us to celebrate our big day on the date we had our hearts set on. The food was delicious and the day ran seamlessly. My bridal attendant was with me every step of the way and helped ease all my anxieties. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we will cherish our memories at Florentine forever. Love, Matt & Kate Bruno Wedding - October 2, 2020

I had been to a wedding at Florentine Gardens previously (before I was even engaged) and walked away wanting this to be my wedding venue. The big windows and trees lit up are breathtaking. When it was finally our turn, we visited closed to 10+ venues, but when I left Florentine Gardens, I knew this was one! Denise and I clicked the minute we met and I felt beyond comfortable. She just knew what I wanted and was so on top of it, it helped put my controlling personality at ease. When we did our site visits, if I didn't trust the event coordinator, that venue was no longer on my radar. Having Denise as my coordinator solidified my choice of picking this venue. As you go throughout the planning process, there are so many little details that require attention. Denise helped me navigate and also shared other brides' experiences which helped a lot. She always had our best interest at heart and I knew she was guiding us for the best. We also found out we had a lot of personal connect... Read moreions, which only solidified our love for her. We were the lucky couple who got to be the first ones to enjoy the new ballroom. Although it was nerve wracking to watch construction via their Instagram, Denise, Jorge & especially Tom kept me update the whole way. Tom had his team bend over backwards to ensure we were getting married in the most beautiful ballroom. Seeing that ballroom for the first time a few days before took my breath away. But when we got to see if on our big day, all decorated, I was speechless, which is near impossible for me. IT WAS STUNNING!! Layla was our bridal attendant for the day. If I could take her home with me, I would have!! Weeks later after the wedding, me and my bridesmaids still talk about how much she helped us and was such an angel. She was always two steps ahead of what we needed. The suites were always filled with food and drinks. Within 30 minutes of meeting her, I knew I could trust her. So throughout the day of taking pictures, I would always look to her to make sure I looked my best. We had two little kids in the bridal party and as expected, they didn't want to participate in pictures anymore. Layla swooped right in and carried both of them at the same time and took care of them inside (we even have a great picture of this)!! As the reception went on, she again was one step ahead of us with making sure we had drinks, food, switching out my heels and making sure my lipstick was fresh. I can go on and on about her, but I think it's clear she is a SAINT!!! Jorge was also our Maitre D' and he knows his stuff. Throughout our reception, he guided us every step of the way. There are a lot of moving pieces during the reception, but he didn't miss a beat. And we trusted him to guide us where we had to go, when we had to go and even best way to pose/look for our photographer/videographer. Layla and Jorge are the best team to have on your special day. As I have been to decent amount of weddings, I have never seen bridal attendant and Maitre D' be so on top of it and helpful like these two. They blew our minds away. We used Sal Travis Entertainment for music and videography. Sal was such a help leading up to the big day because I was struggling to decide on music for all the dances, entrances, etc. He took the time to walk me through all the needs but more importantly helped give me options to narrow down my decision. He was so patient even when I was all over the place. Jessie was our Videographer and he did awesome as well. The Wrap Up video that was played after dessert was such an amazing highlight! I had kept the tears back all day up until I saw my wrap up video--I cried like a big baby! It was such a special moment to see all of our special day. Our guests were so surprised! It was really a great way to wrap up the night. DJ Jay was also such a fun time. He did a great job of balancing all genres of music, especially some Latin music we requested. We extended our reception an hour, so the last hour we turned it into our "after party". And the dancing and partying was amplified! I wanted the after party to really feel club like, and he did just that. I myself have heard a lot of feedback that the Florentine Gardens team treats you like family, and they aren't kidding!!! I truly felt like I was a part of the family and there was no doubt in our mind that they wouldn't give us the best wedding in the world. As I write this (very long) review, it makes me miss them so much more!! I would do it all again in a heart beat. The food is as amazing as they say! The cocktail hour blew everyone away; mac and cheese bar was my ultimate fave. Some guests thought the cocktail hour was the whole reception. We went with assorted deserts brought to the tables which was a great decision since no one left the ballroom. In addition, the team set up breakfast sandwiches to-go for our guests when we exited. The food was unreal and so delicious. There was not one guest who didn't rave about the food. All in all, the team brought our dream wedding into reality and if I was so grateful to have such amazing people help us along the way.

I don’t even know where to begin. All of the staff at Florentine gardens made sure our night was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Jeff, our maître’d and Lila the bridal attendant was waiting for us as we pulled up to the beautiful venue. We were quickly escorted to the bridal suite after taking a couple pictures upon request. Lila helped escort me throughout the night. Between bustling and unbustling my dress countless times and making sure my train fell perfectly in every picture, to having a drink ready in hand at all times, she was absolutely amazing! She even took pictures on her personal phone of me and my bridal party. I’m still speechless about the service she provided. Sal and the band absolutely killed it! Music was on point the ENTIRE night. I couldn’t have imagined a better band! The food was absolutely amazing. The presentation at the cocktail hour and viennese hour was beautifully displayed, in addition to decadent and delicious, like all food at Fl... Read moreorentine. Guests are still talking about it! Everything about my wedding night was absolutely perfect, thanks to Maria! I will never be able to thank her enough. The food, band, amazing gardens and the all made this possible. BIG thank you again to Maria, Amanda, Tom, Ciro, Sal, Jeff and Lila for providing us with an unforgettable night.

We had our wedding on 12/8/19 at The Estate at Florentine Gardens and it was the best decision we ever made. Denise, our event consultant, made everything easy and enjoyable throughout the entire process. Denise managed to answer every email and guided us from start to finish. She is very organized and great at what she does. She was amazing to work with throughout this entire process and I will miss her. Sal and his Entertainment Company was also excellent to work with. Sal answered every email and called to follow up with us to make sure everything we had requested was done correctly. He is very professional and I would highly recommended booking through his entertainment company. From Accent Lighting, to the Theatrical Package with the Same Day Edit Video, and Dancing on the Clouds is every bride and grooms must have for their wedding. My words to describe this is “Magical”. Book with Sal and you will not be disappointed. Shar was our Videographer and captured every beautiful ... Read moremoment throughout our entire wedding day. It felt right out of a movie. Our Maitre D Jorge was extremely attentive, organized, and very professional. He did not miss a thing and we loved working with him. He guided us through every step of the process and everything went smoothly. Shayla was my bridal attendant and was waiting for me from the moment I walked in the door to the end of the night. She was by my side all night long. She assisted me with everything from helping with my dress, to bustling the dress, and packing up all my items. She was an angel sent from above. The presentation at the cocktail hour and viennese hour was beautifully displayed as were the main course dishes. The food was phenomenal!!!Our family and friends are still talking about how wonderful everything was. Our wedding night was absolutely amazing and magical and I wish we could relive this special day again. I cannot express my gratitude to all the staff and everyone who made this day memorable. The Estate at Florentine Gardens is a Family Owned Venue and you feel it as soon as you come in contact with anyone that works there. Thank you for making us part of your Florentine Gardens Family. Book your dream wedding at The Estate at Florentine Gardens and you will not be disappointed!!!!

My husband and I tied the knot on 12/7/19. It was the most magical and most perfect day we could have asked for! We could not be any happier with our decision to have our reception at the Florentine Gardens. From the first time we stepped foot into the venue, Tom Daidone (owner) made us feel like family. There is something special about a family owned business. You can feel the love, the pride and support throughout the entire staff. They truly do care about you! We worked with Maria (daughter) throughout the planning of our 2 year engagement. She was amazing, down to earth, honest, and helpful. She gave great advice and recommendations. However, the last 1.5 month she was unable to work with us due to having a baby and her brother Ciro and his assistant Sam took over our wedding. Most brides would feel frazzled being so close to their wedding day, but I knew I was in good hands. The communication amongst the staff at the Florentine gardens is unbelievable . Ciro and Sam did not miss ... Read morea beat. They were attentive, supportive and easy to get in touch with as it came down to crunch time. The night of the wedding the staff, food and atmosphere were spectacular! Our guests are still raving about the food and vienasse hour! Kerri was my bridal attendant and she was AMAZING! Highly recommend her ! She’s professional and can do anything for you that night! Jefferey was our mater’d and he was great as well! The Florentine gardens team is organized, communicative and professional. Highly recommend this venue! We hope to go back as guests one day to enjoy the venue again!! ** We used Sal Travis Entertainment for his lighting package and videography. Sal and his team are great to work with! They are professional and down to earth . They are so talented. At the end of the night they were able to put together a 5 minute video to capture our entire wedding day from the morning at our houses, to the church ceremony and the reception. The best part was that they were able to show our guests at the end of the night. Our guests loved seeing the video. They were amazed how fast Sal’s team worked to put it together and how well it was assembled. By the end of the night we had the link to our video in our email to share with everyone. Highly recommend Sal Travis Entertainment .

Wedding: 12/1/2019 I am not sure that words can really describe how amazing my wedding experience was. All I know is that The Estate at Florentine Gardens made my winter wedding dreams come true! From the first day I walked in there I was greeted and treated so amazingly. You feel like family when you are there. I met with Ciro the first day we showed up at Florentine. It was only the 2nd venue we had seen at the time. We left with the date set!!!! Ciro was amazing, patient, kind, funny, flexible, accessible and accommodating!! He really sold us on the dreaminess that is Florentine Gardens! It would not be possible without him. I should add he is very well dressed, well mannered and a handsome young man! Our wedding was over 330 guest with many cultural aspects that required many moving parts not seen in traditional weddings. Ciro and the Florentine team were up to the task and surpassed my expectations! No matter what I needed Ciro was there to answer my questions, no matter at what... Read more time of day I realized I had those questions. We used the in house Entertainment company for our videograpghy and special effects headed by Sal Travis. Sal Travis is a God send. The most pleasant person I had the pleasure of meeting. He is kind and feels like one of your favorite uncles. He was great with communication and helped bring to life our vision. we had an instant bond and his lighting and special effects really took the ambiance over the moon. The wrap up video, which is a 4 min highlight video given in addition to the wedding footage brought me to tears and is ready with you the same day of the wedding. I can literally go on and on about this place and the people but there isn't enough time to articulate what My husband and I feel in our hearts. The day of the wedding I was given a personal assistant by the name of Lyla, She was absolutely amazing. Attentive, patient and sweet. Literally anticipating my every need and was by my side for the entire night supporting me. She made the transition through each component an easy breeze. George was the in house coordinator who is extremely organized and respectful and really KNOWS HIS STUFF. I was confused on how the flow should go and he really whipped the event into place. I am grateful for all these wonderful people. I didn't want to spend too much time on The OBVIOUS. the venue is gorgeous and immaculately clean and the FOOD is to die for. SO many options and tailored to your tastes and needs!!! My guest were calling for weeks ranting and raving about this Gem of a place. BOOK this and you WILL NOT be disappointed. Thank you sooo much Florentine. I love you guys!

Our wedding was last night, 11/27/19 (Thanksgiving Eve) and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, to the minute we left, I have not one bad thing to say about this place and staff. The place is drop dead gorgeous. From lobby, to cocktail hour room, to the bridal and groomsmen suites, to the ballroom, and the beautiful grounds. Alls I can say is WOW. Our consultant, Jason, was phenomenal from the moment we met him. He made us feel at home and that is how every bride and groom should feel as they prepare for their special day. We grew a life-long friend with Jason. He has helped answer any of our questions and he truly took care of our wedding from the time we started planning until the very last second. Sal, the MC and in house service provider provided us with such AMAZING lighting, videography (SHAR IS THE BEST - She makes you laugh and comfortable allll dayyyy), DJ (TONY GIA - wow!!!! Kept everyone dancing all night to our most favorite music), and beauti... Read moreful montage and same day edits. I can NOT say enough positive things about that fabulous trio. They KILLED OUR WEDDING. The food itself was to die for. Everyone is still raving about it. They even went around asking people if they wanted seconds for entree choices, after providing a killer cocktail hour! They even packed us TRAYS OF FOOD to go so now we don't even have to cook on Thanksgiving. We definitely got what we paid for BY A MILE. But not only how great the food was, how accommodating and lovely the staff was. Our bridal attendant (Isabel) was by my side the entire night, yet she didn't make it seem like she was crowding and hovering over me. She bustled my dress beautifully, helped our huge bridal party get ready for line ups, provided us with a private cocktail hour, and most importantly made us feel comfortable. She stayed to make sure all of our belongings were safely put away to come pick up the next day. Our Maitre'D, Jorge, was a rockstar. He made sure all night that everything we needed was taken care of. To drinks, keeping our dinner warm, making sure we got all of our pictures we wanted and needed, to making sure our special moments from the wedding happened, he was on top of it! He even gave 4 of us a ride back to the hotel when we missed our own shuttle, haha. Thank you Jorge, you truly were one of the best people to ever have help with our wedding! If you are considering booking this venue, it gets 10 stars from the New Mr. and Mrs. Rivera! You will not be disappointed in what you choose if you choose Florentine Gardens! We love YOU ALL !

The Estate at Florentine Gardens was completely beautiful, from the moment we arrived to every inch of the estate was just simply beautiful. I love that the venue only host one wedding at a time to give you complete privacy, with plenty of time and space to enjoy your special day. If your are looking to book this venue, your best bet is to do so as early as possible. We were so in awe of this beautiful venue, but completely let down because they didn't have any of our dates available.
