The Florian Gardens

All of the staff at Florian Gardens did an exceptional job making sure that our day was one to remember!! Amanda did a great job getting back to me in a timely manner whenever I had any questions! She was flexible with schedule sit downs with us and very helpful in putting together a timeline that worked for what we wanted at our wedding! Dave, the owner, was there from start to finish, he was there on our walk through before we booked our wedding at Florian, he was there the whole day or our wedding until midnight when we left, and he was there Sunday after to help us pack up all our things! He was excellent to work with and did everything he could to please us to insure that our day was perfect! The bartenders/servers at the Florian were great as well! They were all smiles, helpful and polite! I felt as though everyone there truley cared that it was our special day and wanted to make it perfect for us!

Our food was amazing! Throughout the whole night our guests were coming to us letting us know how much they enjoyed the food! Which was very nice to hear!

I would recommend The Florian Gardens to any Bride and/or Groom that is looking for an elegant venue for their day!

We could not have been more happy with everything, from start to finish, at The Florian Gardens. Everything was perfect!

The Florian Gardens not only met, but far exceed any expectations we had for our wedding. The gardens were exquisite and provided the most beautiful location for an outdoor wedding ceremony. More importantly, all of the details of the wedding were covered and handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The onsite wedding coordinator is extremely helpful in not only planning the Florian aspects of the wedding, but also recommending other vendors that she has had great expresences with. The owner stayed all through the night and several times asked both my husband and myself how everything was going and if there was anything we needed. Not to mention that the food was absolutely amazing! Best wedding meal I've ever had. The services at the Florian Gardens may be a bit more expensive than other local wedding venues, but for the quality of the food and service you receive, it is worth every penny!!

I truly can not express how amazing The Florian Gardens were. They are absolutely the best venue in Eau Claire! We had our ceremony and reception held there in July of 2011. They go above and beyond in every aspect. Amanda is incredible, she is willing to do anything and everything to make your wedding day exactly the way you envisioned it. She responds very promptly to emails and is able to answer any question you come up with. The grounds are kept up immaculately. They were cleaning every window on the morning of the wedding. Through out the day of the wedding, staff is very attentive and asked us if there was anything they could do for us, including changing temperature of the room! They are a five star venue, without a doubt. I'm disappointed that I won't really have a reason to keep working with them, now that our wedding is over :)

Florian Gardens was an amazing venue to hold our wedding. The staff and wedding coordinator are top notch. They really allow each individual couple to customize exactly what they want out of their wedding. Our outdoor wedding got rained out and the indoor location was almost as pretty as having the ceremony outdoors. I live in the Twin Cities and found this location to be superior to anything we found in Minnesota. Hats off to the Florian Gardens staff.....you did an amazing job!

We absolutely loved the Florian Gardens and I don't think there is any venue that compares in the area. I'm still getting comments about how great the food from our guests a month after the wedding. Amanda was extremely helpful with every aspect of the reception and she is full of ideas so it was nice to have her as a resource. Our day was perfect and it was due a great deal to us having our reception at the Florian Gardens.

When we booked the Florian Gardens, I knew our wedding would be beautiful there. When the wedding finally came, the Florian exceeded my expectations. The level of service and quality of the facility and catering was exceptional. I can not say enough good things about the Florian Gardens!

The staff at the Florian were amazing. They were there from start to finish, they made sure everything went smoothly and handle any issues the day of without my husband and I ever knowing. The food was awesome! Everyone raved about how good the food was. Amanda is fabulous, any questions we had she answered in a very timely manner. We would highly recommend having your wedding at the Florian Gardens!! They will make your day as special as you would like it to be.

The Florian Gardens has EVERY aspect of weddings covered. They provided friendly, professional, and thoughtful attention from not only the day of the wedding but all the time leading up to it. Amanda had great ideas for any part of the wedding details and was always willing to brainstorm with you. She was very prompt with her emails and calling back and was VERY flexible with your schedule. I was an out of town bride and had a hectic schedule and she was always willing to fit me in or listen when needed. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch and if there were any small areas of need, they were taken care of by the staff there. At one moment at dinner, there was something I wanted to do and didn't get to it. Dave remembered and made sure it was taken care. I could go on and on about how wonderful the service, staff, setting, and so on were but I will just say they made our dream wedding a reality. Everyone talked about how beautiful and classy the wedding was,how great the food tasted, how smooth everything ran, and so on. We continue to receive compliments about how fabulous the day was and it is all in thanks to the Florian.

I would recommend The Florian Gardens to anyone seeking a place for their wedding, their reception or both. I had both my ceremony and reception at The Florian Gardens. It was very easy to make the decision. Melissa at the gardens helped me with many decisions from which ballroom and which garden to how many tables needed and followed with centerpieces. I did not have a negative experience here what so ever! I found it very convenient that we could have the ceremony out in the garden and a short walk to the ballroom and have our ceremony. My guests really enjoyed the fact they did not have a lag between the two events and they also didn't have to drive anywhere!

An absolutely beautiful venue, great food, and outstanding customer service! We received lots of wonderful comments from guests.

The Florian Gardens is the perfect place to have your wedding. For my criteria in a wedding and reception site, I wanted to be outside for the ceremony. The second thing I wanted was big windows to see outside during the reception. I hate receptions at hotels where you're stuck in a dark enclosed room. The place also had to accommodate at least 350 people and have good food and service. Basically, I thought my expectations were too high, and I was going to have to settle. I was wrong. I'm not from the area, so my mom was actually the one who found The Florian Gardens. The instant I saw the website, I knew this was the place for my perfect wedding.

The next hurdle was, were they going to be available on my special day??? My dream had always been to get married on May 23, because it was my grandparents and parents wedding anniversary. May 23 was only three months away after I got engaged. I called Florian immediately, and they were so accommodating! Amanda looked it up, and sure enough, it was available!

The great thing about The Florian Gardens is, you can work around your budget by getting discounts. If you get married during the off-season or on a Sunday, like we did, you can easily afford a place like The Florian Gardens. To me, I'd rather have a beautiful place and great food and pay a little bit more, than be stuck downtown at the Ramada or something. I also had wanted a menu item that was going to be eliminated, but Dave and Linda and the whole Florian staff were so understanding and cooperative, and they allowed us to have that meal.

On the day of our wedding, I couldn't have been happier with the way things went. The staff was so attentive, and the transitions of the day went by so smoothly. Dave, the owner, was there and dismissing tables and just helping out wherever he was needed. I found this remarkable, because you hardly ever see the owner actually get involved. Linda, the catering director, was at our side if we needed her. She would check up on us to make sure there wasn't anything else we needed.

Overall, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. We had a couple in their 80's at our wedding tell us, "This is the best wedding we've ever been to. The food, place, and service were outstanding."

Thank you to everyone at The Florian Gardens for making my wedding the fairytale that I've dreamed about since I was ten. :)

The Florian Gardens was amazing & so easy to work with! Everything went so smoothly & turned out beautiful! The entire staff was great - everyone was professional, friendly, helpful & so involved with every single step. And the food was DELICIOUS! Whenever I had any questions/concerns/changes Amanda always got back to me right away!! If I had to do it over, I would definitely go with The Florian Gardens again! I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is interested in havin a garden wedding or just a reception there! Heck, do both - you will not regret it!!!

Everyone at the Florian Gardens was so flexible, honest, accomodating, and genuinely happy and willing to help in any way they could to help our special day go smoothly. From the very start of the process, to the cleaning up I couldn't have been more happy with their service, their location, their facilities. What a GORGEOUS place and amazing people, we were so lucky to have found the Florian Gardens. I had three friends at our wedding say they now are considering the Florian Gardens as their destination! Thanks for all you did to make our day possible!

I had a few reservations going in because there was a wedding the day before, another the same day, and then one the day following mine. I was worried that the Gardens was just a wedding mill, and my "big day" would be just one of hundreds. The staff, however, was wonderful, and they put my worries to bed. Everything went off without a hitch. People are still talking about how beautiful the wedding was. I would recommend booking the Florian Gardens. It is worth the wait to have your wedding there.

My husband and I had our outdoor garden ceremony and reception at the Florian and we LOVED it! I am a very picky, overly organized person and I honestly don't have anything to complain about so that right there says a LOT. They personally make sure everything is perfect for your big day in every aspect you could think of. Even adding extra tooling that matched our colors, without us asking them to do that. All of our guests had an amazing time and experience at the Florian Gardens and I would recommend it to any soon-to-be bride out there looking for the package deal :)

The Florian Gardens had everything covered for us. They made sure every detail was perfect so that I didn't need to stress about it. The Florian Gardens allowed me and my mom to actually relax (a bit) :). The food was amazing. We received many compliments on it. The decor was beautiful and the gardens were an amazing backdrop for our pictures.

We couldn't have had a more wonderful place to have our wedding and reception. Everything went smoothly and the day/night was perfect! Thank you so much Florian Gardens!

We had the best experience at the Florian Gardens! They were kind to us and our family and extremely accommodating to our needs since we lived out of state. We highly recommend this site to future couples!!

We cannot even begin to describe how amazing our wedding and ceremony were at the Florian Gardens! From the professionalism, helpfulness, and organization Amanda offered, to the stunning gardens, fresh and delicious food, and beautiful location, we were extremely impressed with the services offered. The detailed timeline and great communication between staff at the Florian Gardens enabled my husband and I to be "hands off" and simply enjoy our day! We have received compliments from nearly every guest and we would highly recommend the Florian Gardens as a top-of-the-line ceremony and reception venue!

Employees at The Florian Gardens are very detailed oriented which is a little overwhelming at first, but really pays off in the end. Our day was spectacular with no worries on my mind.

My experience at the Florian was amazing. The staff did everything possible to organize things and make our day perfect. The gardens were beautiful and I couldn't imagine a more perfect place for a wedding. The food was excellent, we are still receiving compliments. The decor was stunning . . . the ballroom looked so beautiful. There was nothing that I wanted that they didn't make happen. Fantastic place and people.

Many comments about how this wedding was a true 'home run' from events they have been at before.

I thought that everything for our wedding went very smoothly! Our guests were very receptive to the Florian and almost every guest we talked to brought up how great the food was. They commented about how hot and delicious it was and how great the staff were serving. Dave gave us a very thorough tour when we deciding on where to get married, and he really sold us on the Florian for both the ceremony and reception and I don't think we could be happpier with our choice. Amanda was very helpful and had many ideas about wedding planning and setup at the Florian. I really liked that multiple Florian staff members checked with us throughout the night about various subjects, just to make sure everything was going smoothly- I definately felt like they would try to meet any requests for us. We were asked about everything from the food to the temperature in the building! It really let us truely enjoy our time at the wedding because I had reassurance that the staff knew what they were doing and wanted to really make our night special. The Bride's room was great becuase it was a good place to have everything on site for the wedding, and it had a large bathroom. There were many places that we were able to take pictures outside with great flowers and foliage. We loved it! Our wedding at the Florian exceeeded our expectation! I can't say enough about it!

The place is beautiful both inside and out in the gardens. Very nice people. The only thing to be aware of is that there can be several weddings and/or receptions on the same day.

The Florian Gardens was extremely professional and helpful. At the beginning, there were some issues with money and what would cost us what, but the day of the wedding, they were there for everything and helped make our day completely carefree.

The Florian Gardens was my dream-come-true wedding venue. They offer three gardens that the couple can choose from to be married in as well as three dance floors. The wedding coordinator there, Amanda, was extremely accomodating, efficient, and sensitive to our wants and needs. This venue offers you the option of getting married indoors if weather does not permit you to have the ceremony outdoors. The bridal room is large and inviting and the food was exceptional. The Florian Gardens is worth every penny.

This is a beautiful place to have a wedding. They offer 3 different sized gardens that you can happily marry in. They offer 3 different reception halls, that can be converted into one if needed. I would highly recommend the Florian Gardens to anyone. They provide food, one or both of your venues, decorations (or you can bring in your own). They recommend you to florists, bakeries, officiants, djs, anything you can imagine to plan a wedding! The Florian Gardens is not only a wedding destination, you can also have proms, business meetings, graduation parties, you name it! They offer a bridal room and a grooms room for privacy and getting ready. They are located right next door to the Metropolis Hotel and Action City.

They do run discounts sometimes. Around January of every year they will send out a list of all the available dates left to hold an event. You get discounts because they just want to fill those days up!

Our wedding was a huge success, thanks in part to the staff at The Florian Gardens. The day of the event, we didn't need to worry about a thing. Amanda, Dave, and Linda had everything well organized and under control. The facility is gorgeous! Overall, everything met and exceeded our expectations.

Amanda and Dave at the Florian Gardens were very good to work with. They clearly have organized many wedding ceremonies and receptions at their venue and helped us organize and realize our vision. The building is beautiful even at our indoor winter wedding it was georgous! The foyer and ballrooms were decorated for the holiday. We got married in front of the fireplace for our 5:00 ceremony which cozy feeling and perfect. In the evening the trees outside were lit with white lights which a great background for our reception. We even got snow which made the day even more special! The food was very good, and staff was very helpful! Once all the planning was done they helped the day move very smoothly. I wasn't that anything was going to get missed (once our flowers were finally delivered, but that is a story for another day). Sometimes things felt a little pricy, but I think their prices were in line with similar venues in the area. All in all, still worth it. Oh and I was so happy to be able to have our ceremony and reception at the same location, we had 1 hour between the ceremony and drinks, I was glad to keep the action moving.

I've photographed many weddings at The Florian Gardens and am always 100% impressed with their staff, especially Amanda (wedding coordinator), who always makes sure every thing runs smoothly. They are all very helpful and friendly and make the gardens stunning for the summer months. Their dinner menu is amazing and you can tell the all the hard work put in by Dave & his staff pays off. We look forward to our next wedding at Florian!

Florian Gardens is by far the best place to have your wedding ceremony and reception in Western Wisconsin. The grounds and building are the newest in the area and maintained spectacularly. This is a privately owned facility and they make you feel like family with their 1 on 1 consultations and expert advice. If you want the most special day of your life to go off without a hitch at a beautiful place look no further. Great job you guys! A+++++++
