Great venue for us (including the DJ!) We chose Sunny-Meade for our June 2010 wedding because my husband and I both lived out-of-town at the time, but I really wanted to have my wedding close to where I grew up in Louisiana. It is perfect for an out-of-town bride or any bride who likes good bang for her buck. Sunny-Meade took care of the catering, alcohol, decorations, and DJ. They are also military friendly and the bride and groom get to stay the night at the house by themselves after the reception. The other major advantage is that it provides a place for the ceremony and reception. It was so nice being able to walk from our ceremony to our reception, and it was also much easier on our guests, many of whom were also from out-of-town and might have gotten lost if they had to switch venues. My only complaint was that while they do provide a place for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready, you feel very rushed leading up to the ceremony because everyone except the bride has to get their stuff out of the room before the ...

I would recommend that everyone get their hair and make-up done before arriving at Sunny-Meade the day of their wedding, because with just four bridesmaids, myself, and the mothers we were getting ready right up to show time and it didn't leave a whole lot of time for pictures or just calm before the ceremony! We were a little concerned about the DJ at first because we didn't get a chance to meet him ahead of time, but he handled our ceremony and reception music (which was eclectic and some of which was obscure) without a hitch. He followed our instructions on editing the live version of our first dance song perfectly as well, and everyone was dancing the entire time.
