History
Back in the 1880s, the estate was privately owned and used as farmland. Now, the buildings have been beautifully renovated and the grounds, spanning 8 acres of magnificent gardens and picturesque backdrops, are impeccably maintained by the family that has owned and operated the business for over 30 years.

Sunnybrae offers a choice of three picturesque ceremony areas, including their elegant Rose Garden and Wisteria Arch, the charming peppertree Gazebo or Palm Garden, and two new ceremony locations, the Walk and the Landing. Each location suits guest numbers ranging from 20-300. In case of bad weather, Sunnybrae will provide a complimentary undercover location for your ceremony which can comfortably accommodate up to 200 people. The starting price for ceremonies is $1,300.
