We loved Delray817! It was the perfect venue for us. We had a December wedding and wanted something where we could have both the ceremony and reception in the same location. Delray made this happen with a ceremony seating with a complete 1 hour flip to reception seating. I was fully amazed with all they did. We even had them do all our decorations which was so nice and so much less stressful than doing it ourselves. They were amazing with communication every step of the way, and helped us make our wedding visions come true. Would 100% recommend Delray817 to everyone!

We eloped in a national park and had our reception back home at Delray (though they can do both ceremony and reception). We loved Delray from the moment we toured it and we were sold. Arden and Alicia were joys to work with and always had an answer to every question. The space is PERFECT and we got so many compliments from guests. Highly recommend!!
