From the reviews

It was a great place with great service. Mike made sure the guys and I were comfortable from there start. I would recommend this place to any group looking for a private venue! The outdoor patio was wonderful.

★★★★★ — Kenny, Jul 2021

My wife and daughters hosted my birthday party in this great new venue in Harbor Shores area this past weekend and the place is amazing! I wish Secret Garden the best with their new event venue!

★★★★★ — Thom, Dec 2019

Mike did a great job with our wedding party! Great space for all events! Very easy to work with and catered to all our needs.

★★★★★ — Craig, Jul 2021

We had the honor of holding the first event at this new venue. The place was amazing! Every guest that walked through the door was commenting about the wonderful space. Parking, bathrooms, kitchen, bar, brides dressing room, coat closets and of course ... the Secret Garden is breathtaking.

Getting married at Secret Garden At The Harbor

Secret Garden At The Harbor 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.
