My husband and I could not have imagined a better wedding experience and we are so grateful we chose to have our special day at the beautiful Secret Garden! We got married on December 14, 2024 and it was the most beautiful day we could have imagined! We booked the venue over a year in advance and throughout the entire planning process, the entire team was so available and responsive. As the day approached, we met with our day-of coordination Laura and she was truly amazing!! She helped me create the day of my dreams and was very prompt in responding to any of our concerns. She helped bring our vision to life and I am so grateful!! The very inclusive experience at The Secret Garden was also so helpful. We ended up going through our own food vendor for BBQ for dinner, but everything else was seamless and really helped ease the wedding planning stress. The photography and videography team was so amazing and captured our day so beautifully. I still cry tears of joy looking at our pictures and videos from the special day! :') The DJ services provided were also amazing and we couldn't have been happier with DJ Jason Lyons! Overall, we could not be happier with our experience at The Secret Garden. It was worth every penny to marry my best friend at such a beautiful place surrounded by everyone we love!! :)

I don’t even know where to begin. Our wedding day was absolute perfection! The Wedgewood team made the planning process so easy and stress free. And when our wedding day came, everything was just perfect. Tabitha, our coordinator, was so amazing and helped our vision come to life, and made the day run smoothly and stress free. Our banquet captain Kelly, was so sweet and was on it our entire reception. I’m so sad our wedding day is over but so thankful to the entire Wedgewood team for creating such an unforgettable day. THANK YOU ALL! Love, Matt & Jess.

We had our wedding end of June, so the flower fields flowers were not in bloom, but the grounds still had a lot of other flowers and greenery that made the setting truly lovely. Plus, the barn and stage area are decorated with string lights that look great, so you really do not need to add many decorations. We are so happy we did our wedding there!

Few would have known that many years later, Subria's gift to his beloved daughter and son-in-law would become the grand wedding venue it is today!
