Hi everyone,
New bride-to-be, now in the process of figuring out a venue for summer 2012. Has anyone had any experience with wedding ceremonies and receptions at Sunnyside Pavilion? The beach is beaaaaaaaautiful, and it is very close for all of our guests. How do the costs add up? any info on staff and the coordinators?
We don't want to spend a great deal of money, actually under $10,000 is our goal. the majority of our wedding will be DIY, as i'm a visual artist and have all the resources I need to make everything just right, for super cheap. we also know many emerging photographers who would do everything on the cheap. Its just the venue and the food that will really do us in, but im willing to put in a little extra for a beautiful place without a hassle..and Sunnyside is gorgeous.
Thanks a million!
Re: Wedding at Sunnyside Pavilion
Sunnyside Pavilion is quite pricey. If you're wanting to keep the entire wedding under 10k you might have an issue. I believe from when I did my research that you have to rent the outdoor space for the ceremony separately from the reception room. Both are quite pricey. If you check out their website you'll be able to get most of the basic prices.
Are you wanting to have a cocktail or sit down reception? bar or cash bar? All of these make a difference.

Our venue guest capacity is 200. The cost of our venue rental is $2500 with our full service packages beginning at $100 per guest. This is the cost for both the ceremony and the reception. If you would like more specific pricing please let me know your preferred menu and I would be happy to give you a quote. Menu options can be found at www.sunnysidepavilion.com. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything else I can assist you with.
By reading the email I would assume that the quoted $2500 includes the ceremony and the reception but we will see what she says when she responds with a full package.
We're looking at Sunnyside for summer of 2012 too, but are a bit concerned about weather and contingency plans based on weather. What are your thoughts on this? Have you spoken to anyone who's had an event at the venue to hear their feedback? Also, any thoughts on the quality of the inhouse catering?
Thanks for your thoughts!
also, can anyone share their experience re availability of dates for this venue? am i dreaming to think i might still get a date for 2013 at this point?
many thanks!
How did all of your weddings at sunnyside turnout?
What was the average cost etc?
I know the rental is $2500. What were the rest of your costs PP?
I'm looking at using the in house catering and bar service.
Thank you.
My husband and I held our wedding at Sunnyside Pavilion last July. It was such an amazing venue and we really lucked out with the weather. We originally chose the venue because we fell in love with the history and the price was reasonable for what we had in mind. We had 200 guests and a 3 course meal (salad, entree and dessert). We also rented chiavari chairs, palm trees, drapery swags and a premium bar from the hall. Our total price per head including food, bar, rentals, fees, taxes and gratuities came to $203 per person. I know that seems like a lot, but we have yet to go to a wedding that topped our location. Here are photos from our wedding if you'd like to see them: http://www.lakeluv.com/2013/01/we-tied-knot-and-have-photos-to-prove-it.html
Good luck!
Thanks!
I did all of the decor and flowers myself. The rentals were the drapery, chairs and palm trees that we rented through Sunnyside Pavillion. All of the vintage decor pieces are from our own collection of antiques and things. Please feel free to contact me through my blog if you have any other questions!
