From the reviews
From the first few steps into the gate, we knew this was the place. It’s simply magical as you look around, your blood pressure instantly drops, and your breathing slows down. The words our guests threw around on our wedding night were: beautiful, serene, enchanting, amazing, and special.
An AMAZING hidden gem. My brother's best friend got married here and he was the best man. The grounds are magical. The venue is impeccable. The staff are great. The wedding was beautiful. My family had a lovely time celebrating the love and joy of their union at this special place on Earth. 💕
Our company had the pleasure of filming a 3D Virtual Tour for this beautiful venue. It's truly a secret garden hidden in Bodega Bay. Just steps from the Pacific Ocean, nestled under the majestic redwood trees. It feels magical like you've walked into a fairytale.
Secret Gardens is truly a hidden undiscovered treasure! The venue is spectacular. Absolutely breathtaking throughout the entire property! Donis, our coordinator was a joy to work with.
Getting married at The Secret Gardens
The Secret Gardens 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.
