“My husband and I highly recommend the venue. All of the staff is absolutely incredible and made our day absolutely perfect. Our forecast all week showed rain but we were hopeful that it would change in our favor. They let us wait until 2 pm the day of our wedding and luckily we had the most beautiful outdoor ceremony. Throughout the wedding process they walk you through everything to make sure your day is as seamless as possible. Going over the small details you may forget. Their included vendors are a blessing, one less thing to worry about during the planning process. They made everything so easy from planning and cleanup. I could not have imagined a better day. I highly recommend the team at Groveland, they made our day magical! We got so many compliments from guests about how great the food was and how amazing all the staff were too!”

“My husband and I got married at the Hawthorne in November 2025 and it was absolutely amazing. We worked with Christine who was on top of everything and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. The hotel itself is beautiful and if you’re going for a timeless vibe this is the spot. Oh and also, the food was incredible! Really can’t say enough great things about the Hawthorne - it was an amazing experience!”

“From the very beginning, Floriana staff impressed us with their knowledge, kindness, and can-do attitude. The group tasting was wonderful. Floriana staff ran an entire mock wedding for the tasting, inviting vendors in, and showcasing the "add ons". We were also able to meet our amazing coordinator, Amber, and explore Floriana in more detail at our leisure. At our details meeting, Amber was thorough, kind, and did a great job of helping us guide our thinking, without forcing any opinions on us. We felt so comfortable working with her throughout the entire process. She did an excellent job of leading us without making us stressed. On the day of our wedding, we chose to rent out Floriana from 9:00 am on. It was amazing getting ready on-site while watching our venue come to life. The included getting ready suites are so beautifully decorated, but were also incredibly functional. There was plenty of space for everyone. Not only was everyone comfortable while getting ready, our detail photos came out beautiful. Floriana's early morning staff was so kind and accommodating, and made every person who came to the venue early feel welcomed and relaxed. As the bride, I diy'ed a lot of parts of our wedding. I gave some direction to Amber and her team as to where and how things should be set up. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect (including a seating chart that would not stick to its frame). Amber personally took care of everything and anything, making herself known to us, and helping with even the smallest tasks (like my broken seating chart!) Our wedding day was 90% humidity. It was a beautiful August day, sunny, 80s, but unfortunately incredibly humid. Amber and her team made quick, appropriate decisions to make sure the wedding party and our guests were taken care of. We especially loved that Amber would always come directly to us with important decisions, but made them simple and flexible. Despite not having a rehearsal dinner, Amber and her team executed a wonderful ceremony. The wedding party did not have any guesses as to what they had to do, as she made sure we were exactly where we needed to be, at exactly the right time. After the ceremony, Amber's team ushered us to the gazebo, where our signature drinks and selected hor d'oeuvres were waiting for us. It was one of the highlights of the night, sharing our new marriage with the people closest to us, before joining the rest of our guests. The attention to detail from the entire staff was impressive. The humidity finally broke during our reception, with lightning, thunder, and a 20 minute torrential downpour. The Floriana team handled it extremely well, keeping our guests dry in the tent. Once again, Amber did a fabulous job of keeping us in the loop, asking for our opinions, without being overbearing or disrupting the flow of our reception. Throughout the entire night, Amber made sure we had drinks in hand, plenty of food, and were served any specialty items first. We felt so special and cared for the entire evening. Leaving at 10:30 was truly difficult! Floriana could not have been a better option for us, and we are so grateful for all the love and support they showed us while going through this process of hosting a wedding and getting married! The venue is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the people are amazing.”
