Sundy House is one of South Palm Beach County's most enchanting and underappreciated wedding venues — a beautifully restored 1902 historic home in the heart of downtown Delray Beach, surrounded by a lush, award-winning tropical garden of over 5,000 rare and exotic plant species. The winding garden pathways, ancient shade trees, intimate outdoor ceremony clearings, and the warm-toned historic house create a setting of extraordinary natural beauty and genuine historic romance. Its walkable location just off Delray Beach's vibrant Atlantic Avenue puts it within steps of the area's best restaurants and bars for guest exploration before and after the celebration.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from LOXAHATCHEE NWR, 9.4 miles away.
