We got married at Voewood in November and chose Florentina to be our caterers back in February. We are so pleased we chose Florentina as they do so much more than standard caterers. We regularly liaised with Annabelle to ask questions about the venue and she even helped us with our seating plan. Our wedding wouldn’t have gone so smoothly without their help and coordination on the day. All the food Florentina supplied was absolutely amazing, so many of our guests have told us that it is the best food at a wedding they have ever had! All of the staff had big smiles on their faces and couldn’t do enough for you! We are so pleased we chose Florentina and will certainly be recommending them to anyone who needs an event caterer!

Florentina played such a special part in our big day. Since first speaking with the team, Natalie & Jake were extremely helpful and guided us through the whole experience. Natalie was on hand throughout, especially in the week leading up to it. When it came to the weekend, the whole thing went amazingly well and a we owe a huge thank you to Natalie and the Florentina team. From when we arrived at Voewood the whole team were amazing, from setting everything up to helping the day run smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about anything on the day, the team literally thought of everything. The food was absolutely delicious! What we loved about Florentina, is that they provided so many options and were happy to amend to suit us and our guests. We went for a serving platter for our starter and main, which worked so well. Everything was tasty, all our guests were so complementary. The whole experience really was a joy, we were so pleased we went with Florentina. More...

We used Florentina as the caterer for a surprise 30th Birthday party. They were really friendly and extremely professional. The canapés were delightful (we had buttermilk chicken, bruschetta, sausage rolls which were unbelievable, goats cheese tart, satay chicken). The main course we had were American Burger, Fish n Chips and Macaroni Cheese. The portion size was great and the presentation was fantastic. Having used Florentina for this event, we will be using them as our caterers for our wedding in 2021. Therefore, I would 100% recommend using Florentina. THANK YOU X More...

Every element of service from Florentina was beyond incredible, and I am not sure that words can really fully convey just how blown away we were by our whole experience, or how grateful we are that we found them to cater our special day, it really did make it super special. The food itself was truly spectacular, and everything we hoped for. Our guests haven't stopped talking about it, and everyone was genuinely stunned that such exceptional quality and calibre catering could be delivered on such a large scale. We are so grateful that Jake and Annabelle took the time to develop our menu with us, listen to everything we wanted and to personalise it so completely to our tastes and preferences, as well as every conceivable need or requirement of any of our guests. The food is of course important, but the service we received over the 15 month build-up from the whole team - and particularly Annabelle - really elevated our whole experience. The level of professionalism in the service, from the first enquiry email to the follow-up after our wedding, coupled with clearly a complete passion for the job and a genuine and authentic personal interest in ensuring that our day was perfect, is certainly not something that we took for granted. Thank you. Anna and Joe (Godwick Great Barn Wedding, 19/10/2019) More...

We were lucky enough to have Florentina do all the catering over our three day wedding and I cannot recommend them enough! The whole team are just so lovely and they were absolutely excellent, the food was delicious and the service was second to none. Honestly we don’t think it could have gone better! Everyone is still raving about the food especially the curries, the canapes and I quote ‘the best fried chicken burger ever’! We can’t thank Natalie and Jake enough for all of the time and effort they put into helping us plan and to make our vision become a reality! They helped us so much, as we came up with new ideas creating a completely bespoke menu and were also so helpful in working out all the logisitcs for the weekend. Then over the actual wedding Natalie was amazing managing and overseeing everything, essentially like a wedding planner she really went above and beyond and we are so grateful. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they will give you so much time and effort and there is no doubt that they really made our wedding. All I can say is don't hesitate just book them - you will not be sorry! More...

We used Florentina for our wedding catering. From the very first time of meeting them for our tasting session, the email's sorting out exactly how we wanted the day to run all the way to the day was one of the most professional, friendly and efficient services. Annabelle answered my most ridiculous questions, gave me confidence and reassurance, made suggestions when I was stuck and was so very organised. On the day her and her team gave me and my husband so much confidence and while working alongside the organiser at our venue made the day go so smoothly. They thought of everything, added little touches, made sure they didn't miss a trick and the food was served flawlessly. Many of our guests commented on the amazing flavours and presentation, "the best wedding meal I've ever had" was overheard many a time. The waiting staff were friendly, efficient and it was the little details that perhaps you wouldn't normally mention in a review that were really memorable for me e.g. the staff coming out of the kitchen to complement me and wish me luck as I was walking to the aisle, the waiting staff saying goodbye at the end of their shift, sometimes it's the little things as well as the big which make a day and it has to be said Florentina covered it all.

We cannot thank the Florentina team enough for the impeccable service and outstanding food that my Husband, myself and our guests had the privilege to experience at our wedding. The truffle arancini balls were the stars of the show, with one my friends declaring that if she ever gets married, she is only serving these...all day!

What can I say - Florentina were exceptional in every way! We hired them for our wedding and had the canapes, beef wellington main and evening food too. The food was exceptional from start to finish and a number of our guests told us it was the best beef wellington they had ever had! From the start to the end, Florentina was brilliant at communication, ensuring every last detail was covered, and emailing back in record time! (thanks Annabelle!). The event was then coordinated by Tessa, who walked through the whole schedule with me and was extremely efficient and attentive to every detail. On the day, Tessa was lovely and ensured we were happy with everything, checking in at the top table. Just the best! Thank you to your whole team :D More...

WOW!! Florentina we salute you!! Florentina catered for our wedding at Voewood this month and I am still in awe of what they did! If your venue does not provide any event management or onsite help then look no further than Florentina. Not only is the food outstanding but the level of service in the run up to the event (all email comms, food tasting etc was bang on), during prep and on the day itself was second to none. No detail was missed, no request too small or too big to be ignored. Our guests are still complimenting the food (canapés best EVER said many) and the attentive service from the Florentina team. Our wedding day would have been a fraction as awesome without Annabelle and Jake and the Florentina team. Most massive thank you! Jessica and James More...

I've been meaning to write this for while! We contracted Florentina for our wedding at West Lexham Sept 2018. They did canapes, wedding breakfast and evening food for approx 110 people. Dealing with Annabelle was very professional. The canapes on the day were fantastic (wild board arancini were favourites), wedding breakfast was also cooked and presented perfectly, we had a sharing platter to start which everyone loved. It took a long time to get the mains out, however all of our guests were enjoying themselves and didn't seem to mind. Overall quality of food was excellent. The front of house staff were an absolute credit and joined in the fun. Only reason I give 4 stars is that no one contacted us after to check in and see how it all went. When considering they are not a cheap company, and we spent a significant amount of money & it was our wedding day, a check back would have been nice. More...
