Testimonials

We got married at The Secret Garden on 30th August, and it was everything we could have dreamed of and more. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous – beautifully maintained with magical gardens that make for the most stunning backdrop. From the very first moment we stepped inside, we just knew it was the one. A huge thank you to Amy and Alisha for all their support during the planning stages. They went above and beyond to answer every question we had (and there were many!) – always with kindness and prompt replies. There’s a great selection of wedding packages to choose from, but what we really appreciated was how flexible and customisable everything was. We were able to tailor the day exactly to what we wanted with no stress.

On the day itself, Stephanie and the whole team were incredible. Stephanie made the day run so smoothly – nothing was too much trouble, and everything felt effortless (even though we know how much hard work went on behind the scenes!). The team are true professionals – they really anticipate every move, not just for the bride and groom but for all the guests too. We felt so well looked after from start to finish.

Wow... where to begin. The Secret Garden is THE dream wedding venue!!! The entire process, from the first visit to the day itself, could not have been a better experience. To Amy and Mas especially, thank you so much! You were absolutely incredible and could not have done more to ensure that we had the most special day imaginable.

The food is something all of our guests still talk about to this day, particularly our gluten free guests who the venue went out of their way to cater for. From dropping things off the day before, to picking everything up that The Secret Garden team had gathered together the next morning, we couldn't have dreamt of a better venue.

If you're on the fence about booking this venue - take this as your sign to book! We viewed several venues before coming to the Secret Garden and it was immediately clear we had found our dream wedding venue as soon as we sat down with Alisha. Not only is the venue itself beautiful, with gorgeous gardens and great locations to say "I Do" (we got married under the Gazebo), the staff are fantastic and the food is to die for! It's clear that the people working there love their job, from the wedding coordinators (who are always cool, calm and collected - which is great for calming wedding day nerves), to the wait staff, to the most incredible chef - Mas, who looked after us all day, making sure my Husband and I had enough canapes and always had a glass of something! Our guests are still talking about how great the food was. We are so grateful to the whole team at the Secret Garden for making our wedding the most wonderful day of our lives 🧡

- Bex & Ryan

Kurt and I had our wedding at The Secret Garden on 1 September. From our very first visit to the big day, everything was absolutely perfect. Every single member of the team is so responsive, friendly and reassuring. It just made the whole thing ten times easier to plan, and we could relax completely on the day, knowing everything would run like clockwork - which it did! We never felt like just another wedding couple to them, though. They were so thoughtful and welcoming, and they completely got what we were after. The food was genuinely fantastic. We wanted a really relaxed feel so we went for the BBQ followed by the picnic-y platter in the evening. Everybody told us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. And it was so nice that guests didn't have to pick between the options - there was plenty for everyone! We really can't thank the team enough. We were completely delighted and had the most wonderful day - in huge part down to them. Thanks again xxx

- Jessica & Kurt

We and all of our guests could not have been more impressed and amazed at the slick professionalism of the service, quality of the food and presentation that was provided to make our wedding ceremony and celebrations so perfect. Your unique environment complimented by a wonderful staff who could not do enough to ensure every guest was catered for.

We loved The Secret Garden from our first visit but our expectations were exceeded on every level. Thank you for making our day so special in every way.
