“I can not say enough good things about this venue and their team. We live in Illinois and they did such a good job of providing all the info we needed via meetings and emails that kept us organized and on track. They also take care of so much on their end so we could focus on personalizing the little things to make it unique. Anytime we had a question we could call or text and would get a timely response. Everyone was so kind and accommodating and easy to work with. Doing the wedding planning process long distance seems stressful that they made it as easy as possible. As for the day of the wedding, the presentation of everything far exceeded in my already high hopes and expectations. The venue is beautiful and very well taken care of, They did such a great job arranging everything and making everything go smoothly. Everyone loved the food, The day of coordinators were on top of everything, All of the vendors that they work with are so great and know each other so it all went perfect. Every aspect of this venue and the people who work there are so great! I couldn’t recommend them enough and we are sad we can’t go there again! Shoutout to our captain Claudia, our day of coordinators Kelly and Jessica, Katie who helped set us up, Riley, and Mallorie during the virtual planning appointments and Chef Nick, Monica, and Sarah. We had DJ Maxwell who killed it, Kim and Alyssa who did an amazing job capturing pictures from the big day, our videographer John, and everyone else on the stone bridge staff who did such a great job we are so thankful”

“Easiest planning process, most beautiful venue, and the best vendors & staff!!! Secret Garden was a bit higher than our original budget, but it was 100% worth every penny. We planned our wedding from out of state, and actually booked our date without even seeing the venue! But it was a breeze working with the SG team; we never felt overwhelmed especially with the planning binder they mailed us. All planning details, vendors, payments, zoom calls, EVERYTHING was so easy and organized. There were moments where we forgot we had a wedding coming up because Secret Garden staff took all the stress off us. Rehearsal was a breeze, then our wedding day was so beautiful and ran so smoothly!! The staff (especially our day-of coordinator Stephanie) made sure we all had everything we needed and more- they even surprised us with a framed photo of me and my new hubby on our sweetheart table!!! They must have secretly snapped a pic while we were walking down the aisle and quickly printed. The little details like that really made our day perfect. The house & outdoor venue beauty speak for themself, and our guests raved to us about the ceremony space, delicious food & dinner under the stars as well as loving the indoor-outdoor setting. I wish I could give 10000/5 stars THANK YOU SECRET GARDEN”
