Each time we work at The Estate at Florentine Gardens, it’s a true pleasure as wedding photographers and videographers.

This venue is an absolute gem in New Jersey — offering a perfect blend of timeless elegance, modern sophistication, and natural beauty. The grand ballroom, with its soaring ceilings and crystal chandeliers, sets the scene for breathtaking indoor shots, while the beautifully landscaped gardens are ideal for romantic portraits bathed in golden light.

The estate flows seamlessly from space to space, giving us endless opportunities to capture every detail and emotion throughout the day. From the stunning staircase to the charming gazebo and serene outdoor ceremony space, every corner of Florentine Gardens is picture-perfect.

The staff is incredibly professional and attentive, always making the day run smoothly — which is a dream for any photo and video team.

This venue is a favorite of ours, and it never fails to deliver unforgettable visuals and an exceptional experience for both couples and vendors.

As a wedding photographer, I always appreciate venues that not only look beautiful but also provide a seamless experience for couples, guests, and vendors alike. The Estate at Florentine Gardens is one of those places. I’ve photographed several weddings here, and it’s always a pleasure to return.

The gardens are beautifully maintained, making for incredible portraits in any season, and the ballroom strikes the perfect balance between elegance and warmth. What really sets this venue apart, though, is the staff. They are attentive, organized, and truly care about making each wedding special. From my experience, that level of professionalism makes a huge difference in how smooth and enjoyable the day feels.

For couples considering Florentine Gardens, it’s a venue that consistently delivers—both in atmosphere and in the experience it provides.

I don’t even know where to begin! If I could give 100 stars I would. Florentine Gardens is an EXCEPTIONAL venue!! We got married here and everything from the staff to the food to the atmosphere was above and beyond. Since the first day I stepped into Florentine Gardens, the owner Tom treated me and Frankie like family. Then Ciro continued that treatment through the whole process and made everything so easy for us! On the day of, the bridal attendant Li was so amazing it’s hard to even put into words! She knew everything I needed before I even knew I needed it. I couldn’t be happier to have had my wedding here and I’m hoping I can attend a wedding here as a guest soon so I can come back!!

The Estate at Florentine Gardens exceeded our expectations in every way. Sam, the event coordinator, was the first person we met during our venue tours, and her warmth and professionalism instantly made us feel cared for. Her guidance, advice, and constant availability throughout the planning process made everything stress-free. Once we met Sam, we knew we had to get married here!

Another standout was the incredible menu. The cocktail hour alone felt like a culinary journey around the world, leaving our guests in awe.

On the wedding day, the experience was even better than we imagined. Jorge expertly coordinated the day, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. Lee and Karen, my bridal attendants, were phenomenal. Lee was by my side the entire day, providing constant support and carrying everything I needed in her magical fanny pack—truly a Mary Poppins of weddings!

Our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful venue and impeccable service. If we had to choose again, we’d pick Florentine Gardens every time.

My wife and I got married at The Estate at Florentine Gardens on October 20th, 2024. It was truly one of the amazing experiences ever. From day one of entering the venue, you are truly treated like family! We worked with Ciro and Samantha, who truly guided us through every step of the process and gave amazing advice on everything from food choices to other vendors. The wonderful thing about the team is that they have truly thought of every single detail! To the point that my bowtie had ripped on the way to the venue and they had an extra one for me! Every guest raved about the food and the service! The bridal attendants truly made the night for us!! They were so supportive and we couldn't have asked for a better staff overall. The elegance of the venue, quality of the food, and the detail of the service are unmatched.
