From the reviews

Gary and Marti with Secret Garden Elopement Weddings were AMAZING!!!. We collaborated with them to determine the best package and plan for our vision. We did the elopement package with photos and video. I HIGHLY recommend it!!! The pictures came out great and the video of the ceremony was AWESOME!

My husband and I got married on November 29th 2026 and I wanted to share our experience with The Secrete Garden (Rev. Gary) . We originally were going to have a bigger wedding in Washington where we live but my family decided to go to Disney.

★★★★★ — Madison, Mar 2026

My husband and I got married here, and what a beautiful wedding it was! The setting was so gorgeous and romantic. I loved the different little settings around the garden for picture taking. As Rev. Gary performed our ceremony, we stood overlooking a picturesque lake. From start to finish our experience was great!

★★★★★ — Jeanette, Dec 2020

This property is beautiful. My husband and I chose this place after we decided to move our wedding up and keep it small. The price is unbelievable for what you get in the Marry Me package. I am so happy with the pictures, with the ceremony and the property. Everything was perfect and affordable.

Getting married at The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden 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.
