“We had the most incredible experience at Floriana! From start to finish, the entire process was so seamless and stress-free. We first met with Jenna for our tour and booking, and she was so helpful in answering all of our questions. From there, our wedding coordinator, Brittany, was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond to make our day so special and guided us effortlessly through every step of the evening. She brought every little detail I had envisioned to life, which meant so much to me as a graphic designer who personally designed every aspect of our wedding. On our wedding day, it rained, but the Floriana team handled everything so seamlessly. They transitioned our ceremony and cocktail hour inside and decorated the space so beautifully with candles that it honestly didn't even matter that our plans had changed. Everything felt so intentional and magical. The entire evening flowed so smoothly, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had, how beautiful every detail was, and how incredible the food and drinks were! Every staff member we interacted with was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. Brittany made sure we felt supported throughout the entire night, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy every moment. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding day, and I'm so grateful to the entire Floriana team for making it so special. I truly couldn't recommend Floriana more for your special day!”
