The Sundy House Delray Beach Wedding Venue Restaurant Catering Receptions

                                       Finally another edition of our blog from a new place that we had a chance to work at. I personally have not had the pleasure of performing at the Sundy House in Delray Beach Florida until this past weekend. My other DJs performed their in years past and enjoyed the great scenery. The Sundy house has some history based upon the venue and this is a great little getaway for those who want a small south Florida paradise with a taste of rivers, trees and cute gazebos.

                                       I was told that originally the Sundy House in Delray Beach Florida was the home of the first Mayor of Delray Beach, Florida. This home was remodeled more recently and turned into a hotel cottage type of venue with a restaurant, bar and lounge in the separate buildings and lush green natural areas throughout the facility. If you're a bride and groom looking for great photos to remember by, this is definitely worth checking out. The venue has all it's own catering and reception area with dining room on the outside portion of the main building. The walk ways feature a stone side walk and trees lining every part of the area with streams and rivers flowing underneath bridges. The cottages are in the very back of the facility for privacy. 

                                      I setup outside on the back patio which is covered in-case of any rain or weather conditions. The dining room is to the left of where the DJ booth was setup and the have the dance area directly in front of the DJ booth. There's a separate kitchen where they prepare the food and then set it up as a buffet out in the bar area. From what I could tell it was very easy access to the food and a very casual atmosphere. The dance space is not real big but comfortably fits about 20-30 people at a time on the floor and you can have a guest count of up to 100 people if needed. There are tables in and around by the gazebos for extra guests. 

                                     Now if you read my other blogs I try to share my thoughts on the staff, overall ease of access and other features, well here it is. For you performers, musicians and DJs / Disc Jockeys bringing your gear in you can park in the side parking lot (valet lot) and bring your gear in through a small gate in the corner. That was super convenient! But at 11pm the gate was locked so I had to drive around and bring everything through the front entrance. It wasn't the end of the world and I managed to get everything packed up. But it is a little of a walk, so for those of you who have lots of party favors, party props, gear, etc, schedule extra loading time. The food was very good and I actually got to try it. It was a buffet with an array of foods. (Italian food mostly) The staff was friendly and helpful which is always a plus when working anywhere new. They worked with me on the timeline and order of events. There's a great place by a small pond area that is for ceremonies and cocktail hours. This is great for separating the reception from the ceremony. There are power outlets throughout the facility for those of you who need it, and its many of us. The valet seemed very efficient and was helpful and friendly right when I pulled up. 

                                     Overall I'd give the Sundy House in Delray Beach Florida a 9 out of 10. Everything was excellent, except the packing up and getting your equipment can be a tad bit tricky but just have good planning on how to move your equipment and props. It's also by downtown Delray Beach which is a lot of fun with bars and lounges, shops and restaurants on the main strip (Atlantic Avenue). The Sundy House has excellent picture areas for your photographer, good food and good service.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to post them here and I will reply.
