From the reviews

We had our wedding celebration here on 11/9/24 and here is a list of reasons why this was a great investment for our wedding: 1. The venue itself is gorgeous, so no need to spend too much $$ on decorations 2.

★★★★★ — Ram, Nov 2024

We are getting married in September 2024 at Paradise and literally cannot wait for our big day! I think about Paradise everyday. We have toured the property with Ashley who we adore and clicked with from the start. Ashley has been amazing at answering all of our questions.

★★★★★ — Kiersten, Feb 2024

I got married here in September 2 days after Helene hit and when I tell you these people were SO accommodating! I asked if my tables and chairs rental could drop off the stuff early to avoid their trailer getting stuck in mud (possibly) and they said no problem!

★★★★★ — Angelina, Dec 2024

Such a great venue! We got so many compliments from our guests about how nice it was. It poured on our day and we were able to use the tent for reception/cocktail hour. Overall everything was great since we were able to stay on site with our bridal party Thursday-Sunday.

Getting married at The Secret Garden™ at Paradise Spring

The Secret Garden™ at Paradise Spring 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.
