From the reviews

We chose A Secret Place for our wedding venue. I heard nothing but compliments from our guests on how beautiful the gardens are. Anita and Shannon were absolutely wonderful; they are so accommodating and some of the kindest people. They made every effort to bring our vision to live and they over-delivered.

★★★★★ — Hannah, May 2023

Anita and her husband Shannon have a one-of-a-kind venue property to offer engaged couples for their wedding day! It’s a gorgeous outdoor venue with a lot of unique French country garden space, a cottage for the bride to get ready, a space for the groom to get ready which sits inside a fully equipped recording studio,…

★★★★★ — Morgan, Jun 2020

Our daughter just had her wedding at A Secret Place this weekend and we could not have asked for a better experience. The grounds are well-kept and so beautiful during the day and absolutely magical at night with lights in the trees all around the property. Staff were on hand for anything we needed.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, May 2025

Anita & Shannon are incredibly gracious & passionate about providing a beautiful welcoming venue for many types of events such as special anniversary, weddings, special birthdays, but definitely a versatile & very lovely spot for weddings.

★★★★★ — Cheryl, May 2021

Getting married at A Secret Place Weddings & Events

A Secret Place Weddings & Events comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at A Secret Place Weddings & Events

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at A Secret Place Weddings & Events — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
