The Florentine 2101 2nd Avenue North, Birmingham, AL 35203

"We just had my son's rehearsal at The Florentine. It was absolutely beautiful. We had a seated plated dinner for 100 people. The tables and linens were perfect and the flowers were gorgeous. We chose the filet with shrimp and the salmon. Both were delicious. And the salad was outstanding. Will and Michael were easy to work with and executed everything we asked for. I would absolutely have an event there again. The only thing I didn't like was the video option. They cannot accommodate Apple products which made us getting the video operating more difficult. But overall a fantastic experience!"

"My now husband and I had our rehearsal dinner in the café and wedding reception in the upstairs ballroom — IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! Every part of The Florentine is gorgeous, the in-house food is amazing, and Will, the coordinator, is super sweet and easy to work with. He will make all your dreams come true. 5 stars across the board, if you are considering The Florentine for anything, GO FOR IT!"

"My daughter and son-in-law had their wedding reception at The Florentine in June 2022. From the moment we booked the ballroom (a year in advance) until the reception ended, the entire celebration was almost effortless! I love that the Florentine is a one-stop venue, providing everything we needed in-house, eliminating the need for an outside event planner. The Florentine’s talented team included Will West (events coordinator), Michael Sanchez (florist), and Corretti Catering (buffet, wedding cake, bar service, tables, chairs, and linens). I live in GA, but Will and Michael allowed me to meet via FaceTime when I couldn’t be there in person during the planning phase. The ballroom is absolutely gorgeous even in its barest state, so we added only a few floral arrangements, a live band (OPOV), and an amazing photographer (Hannah Miller), to create the perfect wedding reception! Our guests were blown away by the ballroom’s elegance, delicious food, cake, and beverages. I highly recommend this venue!"

"It was a excellent place. I went there for a wedding reception and the experience was marvelous. They had a great staff and great food, and there was plenty of space. I would recommend The Florentine for any exclusive event. They had an open bar to serve quickly and everyone enjoyed themselves. Parking was easy since there was a parking lot across the street. Just an amazing place."

"My first visit to this place was for a Dream Team Party with Church of the Highlands (COTH). I was very impressed. Although, the location doesn't have a parking deck connected to the building, we were able to park in a deck across the street. The atmosphere was very grand. The space was just the right size to accommodate our group. I'm hoping to have other opportunities to visit this place."
