The Secret Garden was the best decision we could have made. As this being a destination wedding for us, our coordinator Laura made the process so seamless and went above and beyond not only in the planning process but our wedding day. The day was amazing. We told them what we wanted, questions were asked and the team executed. We are so thankful and appreciative how much effort they put into making the day go as smoothly as possible. All of their staff was amazing, so personable and friendly! Laura, I hope you keep busslin’! We cannot thank your team enough!
Awesome wedding day

The Secret Garden was the perfect place to get married! The staff was awesome making our day seamless and easy. The location was beautiful and it worked out well for all of our out of town guests. I could not have asked for a better easier day!

This venue and their coordination team runs a smooth sailing ship! We did their recommended photographer and DJ as well. Overall everyone was so familiar with the venue and easy to work with. I love that they didn’t try to add on all these random service fees or administrative charges or hidden taxes, what we signed up for was what we got. We had an amazing day!
