As of January 1st, 2024, The Mansion at the Hellenic Center has undergone a change in management, marking the beginning of a new chapter for us! We are now proudly known as Floriana. Our decision to embrace this new name is rooted in the rich history of our 100-year-old Georgian-style mansion. The estate was named Floriana by its original owner, Anna Pingree Peabody in 1903, and this change symbolizes the deep connection we have with the property’s storied past. Floriana is ideally suited for groups of 80-140 guests during the months of November to April. Additionally, our Tidewater Sailcloth tent offers a perfect space for larger gatherings, accommodating groups from 125-200 guests from May to October. Approach the 100-year-old Georgian-style mansion via a private drive, creating anticipation for the unforgettable moments that await. Ascend the historic grand stairway to discover elegantly furnished getting-ready suites with private bathrooms for the wedding couple, adding a touch of grandeur to your day. Throughout the seasons, Floriana provides a captivating backdrop for your event. Exchange vows on our sprawling lawn, followed by a garden cocktail hour and reception under our Sail-cloth tent, or opt for a cozy winter wedding in the mansion's ballroom. The ballroom features gleaming hardwood floors, crystal chandeliers, fireplaces, and French doors opening to meticulously sculpted grounds—an elegant blend of history and natural beauty. Our commitment to providing a memorable experience remains unwavering, and we are excited to embark on this new chapter with you.
