Floriana

Floriana is a centuries-old Georgian-style mansion set on sprawling grounds alongside the Ipswich River in Ipswich, Massachusetts, just 25 miles north of Boston. The estate features vintage architectural detailing including gleaming hardwood floors, sparkling crystal chandeliers, three grand fireplaces, and French doors overlooking sculpted gardens. A grand stairway provides a romantic setting for photographs and entrances. The venue offers the unique ability to comfortably seat up to 200 guests indoors in its Ballroom, a capability that distinguishes it from other venues in the area. Set at the back of a long drive and nestled amongst lush arbor and greenery, the estate provides considerable privacy for events. The rolling lawns and sculpted gardens create picture-perfect settings for outdoor ceremonies and cocktail hours. Floriana accommodates groups of 80-140 guests in the mansion during November through April. From May through October, the venue's Tidewater Sailcloth tent expands capacity to accommodate 125-235 guests. The estate has received multiple WeddingWire Couples' Choice Awards from 2011 through 2026 and The Knot Best of Weddings awards spanning 2014 to 2026, including Hall of Fame recognition. The venue features both indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception spaces.
