We had our wedding at the Floridian. WOW!!! Rene is the wedding coordinator and she made our dreams come true. The bartending staff provided us fantastic service and our guests never went without a drink! The entertainment and lighting staff made it a production and a true show. Professional team, moody, romantic, and unique venue. Thank you for making our day truly special and unforgettable.

From the moment we toured the venue to the very last dance on our wedding night, our experience was nothing short of incredible. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but the entire team made the process feel seamless. Every question was answered promptly, every detail was handled with care, and we always felt like our wedding truly mattered to them—not just another event on the calendar. On our wedding day, the venue was absolutely breathtaking. Everything was beautifully prepared, clean, elegant, and exactly as we had envisioned. The staff worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. What impressed us most was the professionalism, kindness, and genuine care shown by everyone on the team even when hiccups occurred. They anticipated needs before we even had to ask, kept everything on schedule, and made us feel completely supported throughout the entire day. We received countless compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was and how organized and effortless the celebration felt. Our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be, and this venue played a huge role in making that happen. We will forever look back on our day with gratitude and joy because of the incredible experience they provided. If you’re looking for a venue that combines beauty, exceptional service, attention to detail, and a team that truly cares about creating unforgettable memories, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue and would choose them again without hesitation. Thank you Rene, Izzy, and the amazing staff/bartenders for helping make one of the most important days of our lives absolutely perfect.😍

Fabulous venue! Ive been here multiple times and have never posted... Whether its for a private fundraiser or for a live jazz Sunday fun day. It is the place to be! Keep up with their website for events though and you'll be amazed!

This place is honestly amazing! It is an event venue with an INCREDIBLE unique vibe that will transport your guests into the classiest, most magical experience! Along with the magnificent architecture & lighting, they have a ton of live performers that will make YOUR event something guests will talk about for years to come! ...my Dance Entertainers have done many cultural performances there, and it's one of the best venues for lighting and sound. Also, their team is easy to work with, providing a seamless experience from start to finish. Izzy & the team are professional, fun, and are ready to do whatever they can to make your event SHINE!

I’ve been holding on to this for awhile until i was ready to talk about it. I planned the wedding all myself, I spent 2 years planning this day and my whole life dreaming about it . Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The venue itself was not properly maintained. The floors were dirty, and the setup created safety concerns. The stairs leading to the stage were not connected properly, and there was no handrail, making it difficult and potentially dangerous for guests, especially during important moments of the ceremony. My father tripped . As a Career bartender of 12 years, my guest list was FILLED of Bar/Restaurant owners all around the area. So the bartenders could have made so much money , literally everyone was in the hospitality industry but the service was one of the biggest disappointments. The bartenders were unprofessional, unfriendly, and provided poor service throughout the evening. I have bartended multiple weddings myself and when the bride and groom come up , they shouldn’t have to wait for a drink. They should be catered too first. especially when you tip $1200 prior to the event. Even more upsetting, despite having an **open bar** clearly stated in our contract, guests—including the bride and her father—were charged for drinks. This was completely unacceptable and directly contradicted what we had paid for and what was promised. When you spend so much money on a wedding venue, you expect them to honor their contract and provide the level of service they advertise. Instead, we were left dealing with cleanliness issues, safety concerns, poor customer service, and unexpected charges that should never have happened. This was supposed to be one of the happiest days of our lives, and it’s incredibly disappointing that we had to deal with these avoidable issues. I hope the venue takes responsibility and makes significant improvements so future couples don’t have the same experience.
