Real Experiences at The Florentine

What Our Guests Say

"My daughter’s wedding reception was at The Florentine. Everything was absolutely perfect!! Will was so amazing! He was attentive to every detail! The food and drinks were DELICIOUS!! The servers were kind and very helpful! I have zero negative to say about this venue, if we could do it again it would be exactly the same!! Wish I could give them 10 stars!!"
"Cannot recommend this venue enough. Will West, the ringmaster here, told us from the beginning that his entire job was to make sure that our wedding weekend was as easy as possible and that we would not have to lift a finger. He followed though on that in spades. Great food, accommodating staff, and beautiful venue. I was not aware of a single issue we had and that is either because they do such a good job so there were no issues or because Will and his team are such fine professionals that they were able to handle it behind the scenes. The only reason I’m assigning 5 stars is because 6 is not possible.”
“My now husband and I had our rehearsal dinner in the café and wedding reception in the upstairs ballroom — IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! Every part of The Florentine is gorgeous, the in-house food is amazing, and Will, the coordinator, is super sweet and easy to work with. He will make all your dreams come true. 5 stars across the board, if you are considering The Florentine for anything, GO FOR IT!”
“…The classic ballroom was beautiful, especially as the sun began to set and the crystal chandeliers reflected the candlelight on the tables. The table linens and place settings were of high quality. The ballroom has such great bones that not a lot of extra decoration is needed.
"Their florist knocked it out of the park with the florals for both the wedding ceremony (at another location) and the reception at The Florentine. Our daughter’s bridal bouquet was one of the biggest I’ve seen and when Michael personally delivered it to her at the girls’ Airbnb that morning, it was such a sweet moment. The arrangements in the ballroom were spectacular and very generous in size and number of blooms. Michael executed what we asked for beautifully, exceeding our expectations!"
"Corretti Catering did an excellent job with the food and the service was great too! We had charcuterie as guests were arriving and then, a buffet dinner. The wedding cake was the best I’ve ever had, and more than one person said the same to me. There was something about it that was oh so good. Rather than have a groom’s cake, we had a cheesecake bar with assorted toppings, and everyone seemed to really enjoy it too. Finally, for a late night pass/snack, we had chicken biscuits. I can’t imagine that anyone left hungry that night. "
“This was my first time in this establishment and I am lost for words. This place is so beautiful! From the delicious food to the presentation of the table settings to the friendly staff was wonderful.”
“It was a excellent place. I went there for a wedding reception and the experience was marvelous. They had a great staff and great food, and there was plenty of space. I would recommend The Florentine for any exclusive event. They had an open bar to serve quickly and everyone enjoyed themselves. Parking was easy since there was a parking lot across the street. Just an amazing place.”
