About this venue
Established for over three decades, Florentine Gardens has never stopped improving to keep up with the times, the trends and ever-evolving needs of our customers and our guests. Our chic, meticulously cared for estate recently underwent extensive additions and renovations with the goal to allow our customers more flexibility in the wedding experience and the ability to really maximize the customization factor and up the “wow” factor. You’ll find attention to detail in everything we do, from the intricate design of our gardens to how we care for our sparkling clean facility, and bring in special touches that make you and your guests feel pampered on this perfect day.
Our event spaces
Florentine Gardens
Let Florentine Gardens be idyllic escape and a place to feel pampered.
Guests will love the Georgian exterior design, surrounded by our seasonal gardens, featuring fragrant pink and red rose bushes in the warmer months, mums and colorful cabbages in the fall, and a sparkling world of twinkle lights and, with a little luck, fresh snow in the winter. The focal point of our gardens is a romanesque gazebo, which can be decorated and adorned to your liking. It makes for a breathtaking backdrop for photography as does our outdoor veranda and other picture-perfect locales and strategically landscaped features. Prefer to marry indoors? Romantic, on-trend, spacious and comfortable, our large indoor ceremony space, complete with high-tech lighting and enhancements, can be customized to look and feel like whatever you imagine. We like to say you can bring what’s traditionally inside to the gardens or bring the gardens inside—make it your way!

The Best Venue in Jersey
Florentine Gardens was a dream to work with our through wedding planning journey. It honestly was the most stress free wedding planning process and our wedding day was so magical and perfect. We felt like royalty and our attendants made sure to go above and beyond for us. People can’t stop talking about our wedding and we want nothing more than to attend Florentine as guests to experience it again. We loved every single minute at Florentine and couldn’t have imagined our wedding being anywhere else.
Highly Recommended!
We loved our experience at the Estate at Florentine Gardens!!! We personally worked with Jason Gentile, who was excellent at keeping us informed in regards to the next steps and recommended vendors who were all excellent at what they did and made our lives so simple in the whole planning process. For entertainment, we worked with Sal and DJ Tony Gia who really made the reception fun and entertaining for our guests! My husband and I are not huge entertainers so it was great having an entire team on board. My Bridal Attendant Lee was amazing and made my day stress free! The attendant for the groomsmen was Destiny and she was also great! This was honestly the best day of our lives and because we had such a great team, we never spent a second stressing about the day! Lastly, I highly recommend the photographer Ana with Milton Gil and her team, as she was well organized and helped coordinate pictures all day. The videographers Shar and Jorge with Sal Entertainment were also amazing and before the night’s end, you will have a wrap up video that will give you the opportunity to relive the day over and over again even when it’s all done! Everyone just did an excellent job! We had such a great night!
Magic
We can’t say enough good things about Florentine Gardens. From the very beginning, Maria, the owner, made planning our event not only easy but genuinely enjoyable. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and made us feel truly welcome throughout the entire process—always sharing in our excitement for the big day. On the day of the wedding, the bridal attendants were absolutely top-notch. Joy, Sophia, and Destiny went above and beyond for us, our parents, and the entire bridal party. They had everything completely under control and were an absolute joy to be around. Jeff, the maître d’, was organized, efficient, respectful, funny, and simply a pleasure to work with. Sal’s team provided the ceremony music of our dreams—flawless from start to finish. The servers, bartenders, and the entire staff were on point, fun, and made sure our guests had the best possible experience. We’re so thankful to each and every one of them. And of course, the venue itself is absolutely breathtaking—every single inch, inside and out. Our experience at Florentine Gardens was a perfect 20/10. Our guests all agreed: this was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. We cannot recommend this venue highly enough. It was truly a dream.
Bride
The Estate at Florentine Gardens was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From their prompt, detailed, and easy-going communication style, to the airy, modern, and classic quality of their work, they truly made our special day unforgettable. The venue itself is stunning, with a beautiful indoor and outdoor ceremony space, an immaculate cocktail hour area, and a ballroom that boasts high ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The staff were outstanding and ensured I never stressed a single moment throughout the entire day. Florentine Gardens was 1000% the best venue choice, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.
