Unique Beautiful Venue

Sundy House went above and beyond every expectation for our wedding day. The staff was easy to communicate with and very prompt when we had questions or wanted a change. The food is delicious and servers are so kind and attentive. We hosted the cocktail hour at the cenote pond, the reception in the Mediterranean villa room and we included the indoor bar in our rental which added to the elegance of the night. Our guest count was 86 and this room/bar was the perfect without feeling crowded. South Florida was a destination wedding for us. Sundy House was so flexible with us as our time for a food tasting and visit of the gardens was limited to a weekend. I would recommend it for any events or just a meal to anyone in the area! Thank you so much for making our wedding day our dream!

Perfection

The most gorgeous, classic, tropical, old Florida venue for a wedding. Every spot in this venue is photo-worthy, and it will give you the very best wedding photos for your big day. The event coordinator, Tom, is so kind and helpful. The food is amazing. The staff is top notch. So glad I chose the Sundy House

Lovely ambiance with delicious food

I recently had my wedding at the Sundy House and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a stunning venue with wonderful food for very little stress. Most things were included and taken care of by the Sundy House including: rentals, food, alcohol, valet parking, and cake. Tom made the process so seamless and simple. The rooms were eclectic and perfect for the bridal party to get ready as well as the honeymoon suite for the night of the wedding.

Bridal shower bliss

My wife and I had our double bridal shower at Sundy House. The food, the service, and the overall aesthetic had our attendees raving about our event up until the actual wedding. We actually joked that we might have set the bar too high with our incredible shower and would probably be letting guests down with our wedding. This is an incredible venue. Additionally, their Sunday brunch is the best thing in Florida so if you’re ever in the area, definitely check it out!

Best.venue.ever.

Catering director: Tom was EXCELLENT to work with. His communication is clear. He has done this a million times, but makes you feel like you are the only wedding that is going on. He is very helpful in tailoring your own experience. We loved working with him!!! We would grab a beer with him any day. He also has great recommendations for other vendors.
Ambiance: The grounds are stunning. No doubt. Our photographer literally gave us a discount because they wanted to shoot there.
Food: AMAZING!!! BEST WEDDING FOOD EVER!! My husband and I fought to go back for breakfast the following day! Our guests LOVED it! SO GOOD!
Staff: Very courteous and professional.

Romantic Garden Wedding

I loved having my wedding at Sundy House. I can't help but smile when I look back at my wedding day, even though nothing went according to plan! It ended up raining on our garden wedding. Make sure you are familiar with the Plan B if it rains. Despite the setbacks (which seemed to throw most of our vendors off) it was still a magical place to be married. Our families and bridal parties were able to stay at Sundy and a few others stayed at nearby hotels. I loved that everyone was able to walk. We felt like the venue was pretty much at capacity at 110 and it was very intimate under the patio to avoid rain. I really enjoyed having the food and cake as part of the package because it meant less decisions for me! Finally, I have to thank Tom for his professionalism and hard work. Tom knows what he is doing and it was comforting to spot him working on the sidelines the day of. He was the last person my parents and I saw before walking down the aisle. I would have my wedding here again in a heartbeat!

Choosing a venue was one of the most difficult decisions we had to make for our wedding.
Sundy House is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen. We fell in love immediately. I cannot thank the staff at Sundy House enough for all their hard work and dedication. I had so many compliments on the venue and the staff from guests. Several people even said it was the best wedding they had gone to in a long time :-)
This venue doesn't need much because of the beautiful gardens throughout. Also, the lighting is perfect.

Thank you Tom for all your time and dedication. You were such a wonderful person to work with. You were so patient and addressed all of our concerns so quickly. We also want to thank Colleen for her help during the wedding too!
The food was also amazingly delicious! See you soon for a lunch, brunch or dinner soon! XOXO!! The Maccio's

We were originally schedule to have our wedding on Oct 8th but a little hurricane named Matthew had other ideas. Tom and his team made the hard call 4 days before to cancel events. Although we were very disappointed that we weren't going to get married then, it was absolutely the right call for the safety of his staff and of our guests. Tom was a dream come true! His calm demeanor and obvious expertise was reassuring and welcome. But this belays his absolute warmth and humor that kept everything fun and not so serious. Hey, it's a wedding! Everything should be fun! He had exceptional attention to detail and him and his staff went above and beyond to help us get ready on the day (take two was on Jan 21st). We had not worries at all. He clearly love what he does. The Sundy House is an unimaginably beautiful location for a wedding and no event was too small to receive top-notch service. We had 28 people by the pond for an 11am ceremony and people were just in awe. Many South Florida residents didn't even know it was there! The scenery and the indoor rooms really didn't need much decoration. The food was well prepared and very flavorful (we had the yellow tail snapper and the NY strip). The bartender was a fun part of the experience. My now-husband asked me a few times if we should cut the cake. I didn't want to because that's usually the time people leave. I didn't want it to end! About the rooms, OMG, you can't go wrong. To all you brides, get the honeymoon suite called Royal Poinciana. It's an adorable cottage with full kitchen, living room, huge luxurious bedroom, 2 baths and plenty of room for all the people you'll have coming and going. If I could, I would do this every weekend! Thanks to the Sundy House, Tom and all the friendly staff!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
