From the reviews
My husband and I got married at the Secret Garden & Estate on April 20th, 2024 and long story short, we couldn't have imagined a better wedding day or planning experience!
AMAZING! Couldnt be happier with our wedding. Whitney really made our dreams come true and stepping outside of the norm for our colorful wedding. The all-invlusive option was a life saver for someone who was not looking forwad to planning a wedding. They made it so easy to make decisions along the way.
I had the pleasure of officiating a wedding at The Secret Garden and Estates, and I can’t recommend this venue highly enough! The home itself was lovely and provided a warm and inviting atmosphere for the special day.
I cannot thank Whitney and hear team enough for making our wedding such a special day. The best part of picking a venue like this is that Whitney handles all of the really hard parts of planning a wedding. We only had to meet with her 4-5 times throughout the process.
Getting married at The Secret Garden and Estate
The Secret Garden and Estate comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. 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.
