Incredible

I am SO grateful for the entire team at The Estate at Florentine Gardens. My husband and I wanted to use a venue that were experts to make our wedding day flawless. They have this down to a science. I am so thankful we had Ciro and Sam to guide us the entire year planning. Boy did they take care of us! Day of we met Bridal Attendant Kerry and Jeff our Maitre D. They took care of everything. All of my bridesmaids said they want to redo their own wedding to have Kerry by their side all day. Jeff prepared us for everything and he didn’t miss a detail. We made a last minute decision to add a videographer. Working with Sal and Shar was amazing. It would have been a mistake if we didn’t add that piece. We had the video same day and all of our family and friends can’t stop watching it. If this didn’t convince you enough to have your wedding here, go take a tour and the stunning venue will take your breath away. I am so appreciative for all of their hard work. It truly exceeded our expectations. Last but not least, we come from huge foodie families and the food was OUTSTANDING! I promise you will not be disappointed.

Fairytale wedding 🩷

I truly don’t even know were to begin. First let me start by saying the second you walk into the Florentine you are treated as family. From our first experience with Ciro my husband, my parents and myself all felt his personal touch to make sure everything with our wedding day would be exactly what we’ve dreamt of. His kindness and patience meant the world to us. Sal Travis and his team are BEYOND talented and amazing. Our videographer Jesse was so fun to deal with and the same day edit video all I can say is … W O W!!!!! I probably have watched it over 20 times already. The day of my wedding I couldn’t imagine it without Monica. She didn’t only treat me like a princess she treated my whole bridal party like royalty. She was there from start to finish and was the sweetest person to deal with! Our DJ Tony Gia made the wedding party go insane!!!!! Everyone loved the music and the dance floor was filled the entire night. I honestly can’t put into words the amount of love I have for the venue, staff, and the Daidone family. Thank you to the Florentine and their dedicated hard work for making our wedding P E R F E C T. When I say not one thing went wrong I truly mean it, it was the most magical fairytale wedding I have dreamt of.
