The Addison is a spectacular 1925 Addison Mizner-designed building in downtown Boca Raton — a soaring Spanish Colonial event hall with original Moorish details, hand-painted ceilings, coral stone arches, and a romantic inner courtyard that catches the golden light of South Florida evenings. Unlike the resort experience next door, The Addison operates as a dedicated event space with a more open vendor philosophy and intimate scale, making it an excellent choice for couples who want the architectural splendor of Mizner design without resort minimums — and the freedom to bring in their own caterers and creative team.

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 POMPANO BEACH AIRPARK, 6.9 miles away.
