Secret Garden by Wedgewood Weddings

Holy cow!!! Best day ever!! If you aren’t getting married here, what are you doing?! Everything was perfect. They help with so much I wasn’t stressed the whole day! Sam was incredible! And Sydney helped save the day with all the wind! Couldn’t recommend enough!

We just got married here on April 21st, and it was magical! I’m a perfectionist and found that the whole planning process was super well organized. I loved that it was mostly an all inclusive venue, and every vendor they provided did not disappoint! We got tons of compliments from friends and family on the food, bar service, and overall ambiance. We did dinner under the stars and it was beautiful! Shoutout to Huntyr, our coordinator, and Karen, the banquet captain. They were both so genuinely sweet and kind! We had the best experience and we highly recommend this venue!

The absolute best. Made our day perfect.

I cannot share enough WONDERFUL things about this wedding venue! First: they give you a binder that is the most perfect playbook to help you, all their options are customized to make your day the way you want, the venue is STUNNING. Most importantly, their customer service is unmatched. Our day of coordinator Sydney has a gift for what she does. She was so organized, calm, and excited for us the whole day. She also gave us so many little surprise and delight moments that I won't share on here so you can also be surprised :) I cannot recommend this place enough!

Just had our wedding, and our family and friends said it was one of the best wedding ever. Everything went great, D.J. Food, open bar. It all went off without a single problem. All the compliments on how great the night was, was really awesome.

Everybody at the Secret Garden was amazing to work with. Our day-of coordinator, Sydney, made the day stress free and our banquet captain, Karen, made the night go smoothly. They did little details that just made our day extra special, and personal. I highly recommend this venue to anyone that wants a stress free wedding planning experience and to know that there is a team of qualified people helping make your day seamless and perfect!

My wife and I got married here in June 2023 and needless to say it was the best night of our lives. The venue, gorgeous. The food, amazing. The newly renovated bridal suite, stunning. The coordination, stress free. Everything about our experience was great! In my opinion, two things could’ve been better. One, the groomsman suite was a bit small. Now I had 8 groomsmen and a couple family members in there so 11 people total. Hopefully the venue has future plans to renovate this space as they did the bridal suite. Two, it felt like we were being rushed through the night. I know time flies having fun, but they kept a tight schedule which prevented us from socializing during cocktail hour after our photo session. Also, I barely ate any cake or food because it seemed like the next minute we were onto the next thing. Regardless, it was a fun night and I would totally do it again but I only plan on getting married once so that won’t happen. If you are scared about committing to Wedgewood Weddings, not all venues are the same so don’t be afraid to take a tour and ask lots of questions!

Absolutely a dream. Got married here in January 2023, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. On top of the venue being absolutely breath taking - the overall process was as smooth as possible. An amazing team that catered to all our requests. We were worried when we realized we couldn't do a food tasting (due to our personal schedules), but the food was AMAZING. You will never be disappointed with this venue. Amazing, Amazing!!!

I could not give them enough praise for how great and amazing they made our wedding day! It was so easy to work with them and get ahold of them for questions and they really just make your life so easy! I will always appreciate never having an empty drink the day of my wedding, made me feel all that more special. I love love love them and would always recommend them.

My wedding was absolutely perfect. Everything from the vendor partners to the venue workers themselves were patient and listen. Absolutely worth every penny!

Our wedding was seriously the best night of our life. You guys thought of everything. It turned out so perfect. I wouldn’t have changed a thing! We felt like royalty and the entire wedding/wedding planning process was stress free. Secret Garden guides you and helps plan every small detail that we wouldn't have thought of, and the food was amazing! Thank you so much for curating the best night of our lives! Gianna, I want to thank you for doing such a great job and calming my nerves on my big day. Everything was flawless and flowed perfectly. Karen, thank you so much for keeping our cups full, making sure we ate dinner, and helping out with everything we needed during the reception. You guys are the best! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

This venue is absolutely breathtaking and the Secret Garden team is top notch. We worked with Sydney, who was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. My husband and I planned our wedding from another state, so we were a bit nervous about how long distance planning would go. Secret Garden exceeded our expectations with their professionalism, communication, and overall service. Thank you all so much! :)

The Venue is gorgeous and from the start the staff was wonderful, incredibly helpful, and accommodating through the planning process. The day of our reception was perfect, better than anything I could have imagined. Sam and Karen made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night, our drinks were perfect and the food delicious. Everything flowed perfectly and seamlessly from start to finish. I cannot sing enough praises to the staff at the Secret Gardens.

We pretty much knew from our first visit to the Secret Garden that this place was special, but didn't realize just how amazing the team would be until we started the planning process. Questions were answered promptly over e-mail. The couples night where we got to meet vendors and sample the food was amazing and only got us more excited for our big day. Rosemary was our day of coordinator and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better hype girl. She made everything so seamless I truly had no stress going into the day and just got to enjoy my wedding to the fullest. Our guests loved the food, the flow and just the overall ambience. There is no question that we would book again if given the choice. WORTH IT!

We cannot recommend The Secret Garden enough! Our wedding was absolutely seamless and it was all thanks to the staff here. Our wedding coordinator was Huntyr, but we worked with a majority of the staff throughout our planning process and they were all phenomenal to work with. If you are even slightly considering booking with them, DO IT! We heard multiple compliments from our friends and family on how perfect the venue was, how amazing the food and drinks were and just how well everything flowed throughout the night. We cannot recommend this team and this venue enough!

Our wedding with Secret Garden by Wedgewood was literally perfect. If you are thinking about using them as your venue I cannot recommend enough. From booking and beginning the planning process they made everything so easy. When you book with Wedgewood the price you pay includes ALL of your vendors, and from there you just schedule when you want to meet with them and make your choices. From there all that info gets sent back to their event experts. A few planning meetings, and then all you have to do is show up and enjoy your wedding. Huntyr was our day of coordinator and she herself deserves her own 5 stars, she made sure everything ran just as planned and the rest of the staff at Secret Garden was amazing. I have to say that they above all else made this day what it was, you could feel the amount of care and detail they put into their work and Secret Garden's staff truly does want you to have the most amazing day of your life and you can feel it in their customer service! A truly grade A company. Thank you so much for making our day so memorable and perfect!

We really couldn’t have asked for a better venue. From the first meeting to the last they made sure we had every detail we needed on our special day. Gianna was the best coordinator, she was so calm throughout the processes ensuring that we did not need to worry about anything. On the day of everything was so smooth. No one can prepare you for how fast the day goes but I am so happy with how everything went! We are so thankful for the Secret Garden!!🤍

To say that Secret Garden and our coordinator Gianna made our wedding dreams come true would be an understatement! From the very first interaction during one of their open houses we got a warm and fuzzy feeling from both Gianna and the venue. We knew immediately our friends and family would absolutely love the space and the environment they have created. During each and every meeting and phone call Gianna was professional, helpful, and full of wonderful ideas to help make our day even better. To top it all off they are almost an "all-inclusive venue" where they have vendors they closely work with included in their packages to make planning the actual wedding way less stressful. I cannot recommend Secret garden enough!

BEST NIGHT EVER! The moment my husband and I chose the elite all-inclusive package, we realized that 85% of the wedding planning was already finished! Open bar, floral centerpieces, DJ, and cake etc ALL INCLUDED! Perfect for any size wedding, intimate or up to 200! The bridal suite that was just re-furnished is beautiful and the team even made sure there was complimentary champagne inside when I arrived that day! My favorite wedding photos are in front of the building, a registered Arizona historic property.. but walking down that staircase was a real princess moment!! their team was great and fluffed my dress before I walked down, but Gianna, our wedding coordinator, is truly special. Patient, kind, had the answer to every question, and was there with us through it all! 💗

This venue is absolutely gorgeous and the entire process of planning with them is fantastic. Our coordinator, Sydney, was incredible and our banquet captain, Karen was wonderful as well. The entire staff was extremely responsive to any questions and they did a wonderful job bringing my vision to life. The fact that you can customize your package to your needs is extremely helpful and my husband and I definitely felt less stressed through the entire planning process. We highly recommend this venue!

A month before my husband and I got married my sister in law tied the knot. The wedding was filled terrible food, frozen/unedible desserts, freezing cold guests, an empty dance floor and a very unhappy bride, groom and guests. Seeing that a month before my wedding terrified me. Thankfully for me I choose the best venue and got married at The Secret Garden! They said a wedding is your special day but its not really a special day without your guests being happy too. The food was delicious! Every guest that tried the salmon said it was the best salmon they ever had! Including one guest who is a chef! The variety of food and quantity that was laid out for us was so plentiful everyone left full and happy! The cake vendor they work with was amazing, and the DJ had us all moving and grooving all night! The venue itself is absolutely stunning and everyone there said it was such a beautiful sight to see a bride coming down the stairs and make it down to the aisle/arch. I felt like the staff were super accommodating with the things we wanted to do to make the day special! Our event coordinators were truly amazing! One even helped re attach my veil when I was ready to just throw it out the window and cry in frustration because it wouldn't stay in place. They constantly asked what they could do for me and my husband and I felt like I was stress free the entire day. I knew with my coordinators by my side there wasn't a thing I couldn't handle. If you are contemplating going with The Secret Garden do it! Your guest will leave happy and you will leave knowing you just had the wedding of your dreams! Thank you to Cassie and Sydney for all you did to make my special day the best day of our lives!

The Secret Garden was a fantastic place for our Halloween party! We had the greatest time! All of the employees were wonderful. Our decorations looked great, the cake was great, the DJ was great! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! I would highly recommend The Secret Garden for any event as the staff is very professional and wonderful! Thanks!

My wife and I decided on a date 5 months before our wedding date. We scrabbled to find a venue that would allow us to have our ceremony outside and move the dancing and dinner inside. Right before we gave up we learned that Secret Garden has a cancellation for 11/11/22. We immediately booked it and couldn't be happier. All of the staff were gracious and clearly communicated all details with no surprises. Sydney was wonderful preparing us for our special day and was on site from start to finish. Many of our guest expressed how it was the best wedding they had been to. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for the best service.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Secret Harden on 10/29 and LOVED it! The venue planning team was excellent from the start and made everything so easy for us! Gianna did an incredible job on our wedding day coordination and keeping a drink in our hands at all times! The food was excellent & service was superb! We have nothing but incredible things to stay about this venue and all of the staff! Would highly recommend this venue to any and all couples!

My fiance and I booked the Secret Garden for our wedding on 11/6/2022. Not only is the venue incredibly beautiful, but the entire process of planning and coordination was so thorough and smooth. The response times via email over the year of our wedding planning were always so timely. Our day of coordinator Sydney was so awesome and flexible with us- even letting our florist come to the venue an hour early to start setting up. After the wedding, there were so many personal touches like taking the first photo of us as a married couple and gifting it to us in a frame at dinner that very night. They also provided us with togo boxes of both our cake and wedding meal (which was awesome because everyone knows you barely have time to eat at your own wedding :)) Thanks so much Secret Garden for making our wedding the best day ever!

My husband and I visited Secret Garden and were instantly hooked. The team at Secret Garden made sure the process was easy to follow and prepare for, and honestly the day before and the day after the wedding we thought "was it supposed to be that easy?" The venue is gorgeous, the staff are lovely, and we couldn't recommend Secret Garden by Wedgewood Weddings more.

My wife and I just got married on September 22, 2022 at the Secret Garden, and it was absolutely magical! The venue was beautiful with the 1920's architecture, gorgeous lit up trees, and classy decor. The wedding coordinators, especially Huntyr, did an amazing job guiding us through the planning process and making sure the big day went off without a hitch! She even had umbrellas for us all on rehearsal day. Karen, the banquet coordinator, was so attentive during the reception and made sure we had everything we needed! Piece of Cake made a delicious vegan cake and decorated it beautifully! We honestly couldn't have asked for more! We highly recommend this venue!!

100% recommend booking your wedding with Secret Gardens! The venue is BEAUTIFUL, but what truly made our day perfect was the team. I never waited more than a couple hours for them to get back to me, Gianna worked with me every step of the way to stay within my budget, and I truly felt as if I had a team behind to help plan my wedding. They ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day of and our wedding was absolutely magical. Their vendors (many which are included in their affordable packages) were AMAZING! Our DJ, Jimmy, was the life of the party and was so fun to work with. The food was great as was our bartender and banquet captain. Don’t walk, RUN, and book your wedding with Secret Gardens!!

Just got married at Secret Garden May 14th and it was an amazing experience! The entire staff was wonderful and so helpful and kind. The dinner was delicious and the open bar was a hit! The venue is beautiful and it was truly like a dream come true. I am so grateful we found this place! The venue coordinators were very helpful and responsive and took care of everything which made me feel so relieved! They offer all inclusive packages which is what I was wanting and it made planning so much easier. I would 100% recommend any couple searching for a venue to come by and check them out. You will not be disappointed! Thank you to everyone at Secret Garden for making our big day so special!

My Husband Raymond and I got married this past Saturday here at Secret Garden and let Me just say our night was nothing short of beautiful! The food was amazing and everyone had a fabulous time. Connor was our coordinator for the evening and he was absolutely PHENOMENAL he made sure any and all needs of ours as the bride and groom were met and he was extremely kind and attentive. I have not one negative thing to say about him. At some point he had to head home and Karen took over. She was the same. Nothing short of awesome and extremely attentive! We had a truly beautiful night thanks to this team and could not be more grateful to them

My husband and I got married in February this year and were so happy we picked the Secret Garden as our venue. They made the planning process very easy for me as there are a lot of hurdles planning a wedding! We found out a week before our big day that our initial day of coordinator had left the venue months prior, but after speaking with Rosemary and Gianna, they exceeded our expectations and we wouldn't have had it any other way! They even remembered us when we came back for a friends wedding a month and a half after.

I had my wedding at Secret Garden, and it was incredible! They do so much for you, it really takes the stress off. The grand entrance from the stairs is awesome, and the dining under the stars was a worthwhile upgrade. The planners and staff are what make it the best; I worked primarily with Jordan on the day of (who is the BEST) but literally all of the planners are so nice and on top of things. My guests raved about the venue and the food, and it truly was a magical day. Very reasonable price for what we got, in my opinion. Everyone had such a great time, it is an incredible space. 10/10 recommend, please have your wedding here, you wont regret it!!!

We had such a great experience with this venue. The outdoor/indoor spaces were beautiful and the food was tasty but the biggest thing that stood out about the Secret Garden was their team. The planning team tracked all of our details in an organized way, offered advice on experiences they had from prior weddings regarding what looked/worked best, and most importantly, they made the big day go off without any issues or unnecessary stress! The banquet leader helped make sure our guests with dietary restrictions were fed safely and many guests commented on how fast the food service was (we did plated meals). We went with the Elite package and loved having the photo booth and very personable bartender. The groom and I were so happy with how well the wedding, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception went. We couldn't think of a single detail that could have been better. I'm sure I'm forgetting some details but the moral of the story is that we would highly recommend this venue to any couple.

I only have awesome things to say about the Secret Garden! The venue is beautiful but the staff is what makes the venue exceptional. The entire process was so smooth, we were guided through scheduled meetings and each meeting was extremely detailed to make sure they understood my vision and could make it come to life. They were extremely responsive and helpful to all of my questions. The venue is beautiful (especially at night) - I recommend the 'dining under the stars' option. The food was wonderful, all my guests mentioned it after the wedding. Thank you to the Secret Garden for making our wedding vision come true and making our day so special!

Wedgewood Weddings was my first choice for a venue after getting engaged in 2021. My husband and I toured almost all the Wedgewood properties in the valley, and Secret Garden was the last one. We knew immediately that was the perfect place to have our wedding: the property is beautifully kept; emits a romantic, whimsical, elegant vibe; and Wedgewood staff are wonderful. Booking, paying, communication, and vendor coordination (In Bloom, Better Together Matrimonies) were all easy and quick. The day-of staff and help were also amazing. Every vendor arrived on time and set up quickly, dinner crew was attentive to our needs the entire evening, and efficient in cleanup. I would recommend Wedgewood to any couple looking for a venue, it is truly all-inclusive and minimal DIY, and makes the huge task of organizing and planning a wedding much easier.

Wow - the entire process really was amazing! I appreciated the timely communication, planner folder, recurring meetings, & exceptional staff members! As an event planner myself, I recognize that many moving parts occur in a large event like a wedding. All of the Wedgewood staff and vendors did an exceptional job planning and executing on our special day! I’d like to say thank you to our wedding coordinator Gianna who went above and beyond to make sure that our day went just as we imagined! From working with our many requests during the planning meetings, having such a kind word for us at the rehearsal, ensuring all the vendors received their thank-you notes, lighting all of our many candles, ensuring the event stayed on schedule, and making sure we were having fun, this girl deserves SO much credit! I appreciated that she remained calm and collected during such a high-emotion day. She also felt like my personal hype girl providing me with several compliments that made me feel like the most beautiful bride -How sweet! We’d also like to give a special mention to the banquet captain Karen! I felt like Karen made it her personal responsibility to take care of Anthony and I during the entire event. Without asking, she brought us cocktails, personally delivered a platter of appetizers, served us dinner first, and even had a to-go dinner + champagne bottle for us at the end of the event! We felt SO spoiled! That really meant a lot. Karen also managed so many details that I didn’t personally witness, but know they were handled flawlessly because we received so much great feedback about the entire catering staff. Thank you, Karen, for all of the hard work & thoughtfulness!

Amazing venue. The planning process was so easy. The staff is very professional and helps every step of the way. We had to most beautiful day. We are so happy we got married at the secret garden. The venue is gorgeous, food and drink are great, planning process was a breeze. Thank you to everyone for making our wedding the most beautiful and memorable day of our lives!

Get married at Secret Garden!! The venue is beautiful and the staff are so amazing and think of every single detail! We looked at 21 venues before choosing Secret Garden and what sold it for us was the affordability, venue and the amazing staff. We had the most incredible wedding and we thank Secret Garden for this. They truly made the wedding planning process so easy, would answer any questions I had and were always so accommodating. The day of the wedding we felt like they were part of our family because they truly were amazing to us and our family and friends. They made us feel special since day one and not like just another wedding. Please tour this venue and consider getting married here because it truly is amazing.

Our experience with Secret Garden was exceptional! We actually worked with this venue over the length of two years through the pandemic, a subsequent postponement, and the venue's ownership change! Even through all of that, our experience could not have been better. The all-inclusive packages make it so easy to basically have the best vendors already set up for you, along with a coordinator to help you plan everything. Our coordinator was Sammy, and I can't say enough great things about her! She was always so responsive, eager to answer questions, and super knowledgeable about the venue and vendors. She is a huge reason why our entire wedding went off without a hitch! The venue was absolutely gorgeous in every way, and the staff that night was completely on top of everything, and did everything with a huge smile on their face. I got a ton of compliments on how good the food was, and how many different options were served. If I had to re-do my wedding, I would 10/10 pick Secret Garden over again and not change one thing!

Wonderful experience from start to finish. We were blown away from the beginning by the beautiful ceremony and outdoor dining spaces- exactly what we were looking for! The professionalism and helpfulness of the staff was top-notch as well. We ended up needing to postpone our big day due to Covid and they could not have made that incredibly stressful situation more easy and seamless. When our day finally arrived it was stress-free and we still have family members reaching out to rave about the venue itself, the food, just everything. I 100% recommend!

The most magical day of my life!!! It could not have gone any better! We got married here on 10.21.21 and I didn't have to worry about a thing on my big day. Sammy and the rest of the incredible staff are the absolute best and handled everything! Our guests raved about the food and the atmosphere! Thank you Secret Garden!

The Secret Garden was an absolutely beautiful place to have our wedding! We just got married about 3 weeks ago and couldn't have had a better day! The actual venue is one of the most versatile and stunning places I have ever been to a wedding at. There are so many different areas to make use of for celebrating or particularly for pictures. The ceremony spot under the large tree is gorgeous, and the option to do the reception indoors or out is great so you can fit it to your style. We chose an indoor reception due to the heat in September, but we still had full access to the outdoor area where we chose to set up lawn games and whatnot. This venue truly is beautiful, and can fit any vibe you are going for. As for the fact that the venue is a Wedgewood site, that just made the whole process even better. Wedgewood makes wedding planning SO SO easy! The fact that they have customizable packages that include everything you could possibly need is like the ideal way to plan a wedding. We used almost all their vendors, minus a photographer and officiant because we already had people in mind for that. But using their vendor for florals, dessert, catering, music, and invitations was wonderful. 1) The food was DELICIOUS - so many guests commented on that! 2) The florals were beautiful - Shelli at In Bloom did an amazing job! 3) The dessert (various cupcake flavors) were a huge hit with the guest, and tasted amazing - Piece of Cake did a wonderful job! 4) The invitations were super easy to design and order online! 5) And the women at Secret Garden who helped plan the whole thing as coordinators, Natalia and Sammy, were absolutely amazing! So responsive, great communicators, and helped bring our vision to life on the day of. And this was ALL included in our package, so it was so much easier to budget and plan! All in all, I would highly recommend Wedgewood to anyone trying to plan a wedding, and while I'm sure all their venue locations are beautiful, the Secret Garden was perfect!

WOW! My husband and I got married here on August 27th, 2021 & this venue was a dream come true!!!!! The Secret Garden is absolutely beautiful... magical! From the very beginning of the wedding planning process, the women here were extremely positive, helpful, caring, and enthusiastic. They had an answer to every question I had and made the process so EASY. Planning a wedding can be stressful but the ladies at this venue made it such a smooth process. From all the meetings and phone calls, they provided me with so much information and put together multiple detailed packets that included every aspect of the day. They truly cared about making this the best day for us and it was evident the entire time! The rehearsal was incredible and they were accommodating for our large group. It was quick and everyone felt super prepared when we left. They helped set up all our decor, signage, and details the day of... and I was not stressed ONE TIME on the day of the wedding. They coordinated everything so well that I truly felt like I had nothing to worry about. They were there for every moment to make sure it went smoothly. The ladies at this venue are genuine and their positivity & joy made this a day we will never forget. The venue is clean and gorgeous. The bridal suite was amazing- I had 9 bridesmaids and come from a blended family but there was plenty of room to accommodate all of us comfortably. The reception space is a great size and all my guests had plenty of room to chat, dance, and eat all night long! I could go on and on and on about how wonderful the Secret Garden is. The tree and lighting at the ceremony space also make for the best wedding photos ever! Everything about the planning process and wedding day was perfect & I will never be able to thank this venue enough for a dream come true! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

The perfect venue-and the perfect staff-is Everything, to having the perfect day. The Secret Garden is that venue. It is a beautiful, spacious historic property that is yours for your special day. Outside, the twinkling lights made the dining and special moments so memorable and romantic. The indoor/outdoor flow made for plenty of room for fun. A month later, guests are still talking to me about the delish food and beautiful celebration. As the mother of the bride, I truly was able to attend my daughters wedding! What a fun, worry free day. Rosemary and Natalia made sure everything ran smoothly- "we will take care of that" was their theme. Samantha was instrumental during our planning, answered any and ALL questions we had and helped to create my daughters dream come true wedding day. The Secret Garden is the perfect venue.

5/1/21 Wow! Words cannot accurately describe how Secret Garden by Wedgewood Weddings captured and engraved in our memory the most perfect, spectacular day of our lives. Adrian and I had fallen in love with the Secret Garden and booked in 2018, anticipating our wedding in May of 2020. Unfortunately COVID happened and Adrian I had to make the difficult decision of postponing another full year. The staff at Secret Garden were so kind and helpful and assured us that we were able to move our date without hesitation. They were there every step of the way leading up to our new date. We cannot express enough how truly wonderful the day of went. Adrian and I still get compliments from our guests how beautiful and amazing the wedding was. My cousin-bridesmaid had stepped away from dinner to nurse her newborn and she said a server approached her and brought her a plate of food from the buffet without being asked. This is just a small detail of exceptional service guided by the leadership from Rosemary the General Manager. Rosemary was there alongside Natalia, our day of coordinator, making sure everything was on time and where it needed to be. Not a single detail was missed! Samantha was so sweet and helpful at our planning appointments. The outdoor dining under the stars experience was so gorgeous and romantic. The food was exceptional and plentiful! This was hands down the best day ever! We had just received our highlight video from our videographer before we wrote this review (NORMSCAR VIDEO PRODUCTIONS). We are overjoyed with the content showcasing this beautiful venue and are so happy to say we can relive it through the screen forever and ever. Thank you for everything, we are truly blessed to have booked our special day with you and the extra year was definitely WORTH the wait!

Thank you! Thank you! This is a wonderful space to host an event. My daughter’s wedding was a fabulous time because of the incredible help of Sammy and Natalia. Planning and postponing a wedding during COVID-19 was a stressful experience but with the masterful help of these two, it went off without a hitch. These women know how to calmly plan and execute a memorable evening AND have been known to save the day!!! It was such a pleasure working with these two. Our phone calls and emails were answered promptly and with flexibility they worked with our vision and created a magical event! Thanks again to Sammy and Natalia!!!!

Our wedding at the Secret Garden was March 20, 2021 and it was absolutely perfect. Honestly, the entire "wedding planning" period wasn't stressful at all. I kept feeling like I wasn't doing something right because I wasn't stressed. Nope, they just make it that easy for you! The day of, we did not have to worry about LITERALLY one thing with the venue. I couldn't believe it. Sammy and the team took care of EVERYTHING. They set the venue up with my decorations exactly how I wanted it and it looked beautiful. They are a power house. It was the wedding of our dreams. All of our guests raved about the beautiful, unique venue and the AMAZING food. One guest came up to us and said "wow I totally get the name of this venue... It's truly a secret beautiful garden hidden right on Baseline road". It's seriously a magical place and we are so happy we chose it as our venue. Thank you guys for giving us the perfect day, we will cherish it forever <3

We had an absolutely perfect wedding at the Secret Garden. The venue is absolutely beautiful, the coordinators are fabulous, and the catering team could not be better! I highly highly highly recommend not only the venue but also hiring the owners, a five-star caterer, Creative Hands Cuisine for your evening. Don't miss the opportunity to get married under the most beautiful tree and have the time of your life while surrounded by history and elegance. Love the Secret Garden and the staff! Could not be happier with how my wedding turned out.

The Secret Garden was the second venue we visited and we immediately knew that was the place for us! The property is absolutely stunning and was the perfect backdrop for our wedding reception. My husband and I had a Catholic ceremony off site but Camille and Stepheny worked with us so that our bridal party could take advantage of the beautiful bride and groom suites to get ready and take photos beforehand. Also, Stepheny went above and beyond to help us figure out the best plan for adjusting to COVID-19 concerns so that our day was absolutely flawless! We wish we could do it all over again because it was such a wonderful experience!

From the moment we walked in the doors at The Secret Garden and were greeted by Cammy and Sammy we knew it was the perfect spot for our wedding. The staff is extremely professional, detail oriented, and felt like family to us! They worked so hard to make sure everything about our day was absolutely perfect. Our guests were extremely impressed with how beautiful the grounds were, how smoothly everything went, and how delicious the food was. The Secret Garden is so well maintained and the grounds are absolutely beautiful, there are so many spots for photo ops! We had such a great day from the moment our wedding party arrived to get ready in the bride and groom suites, to walking down the grand staircase into our gorgeous ceremony space, to dancing the night away with our friends and family. Sammy was so on top of everything, was so responsive to every email, phone call, and text, and even facetimed me to walk me through the outdoor dinner space one day when I had a question about placement of our DJ table. She made wedding planning so easy and stress free, and went above and beyond to be so well connected with each of our vendors to ensure our day went smoothly and stayed on schedule. I am an extremely detailed person but because Sammy is so amazing I was more than able to relax and just enjoy the day without a single worry. Overall, I cannot imagine having our wedding anywhere else or with any other team. The Secret Garden family will help you plan the perfect day for your wedding or event and I cannot recommend them enough. We will cherish the memories and beautiful photos from our day forever, and The Secret Garden will always have a special place in our hearts!

I am so grateful that my husband and I decided to have our dream wedding at the secret garden. First off this venue is absolutely beautiful and magical. We worked with Stepheny and honestly she made our wedding experience everything and more. She was God sent, we know God placed her in our lives for this special moment. Our wedding was absolutely everything we dreamed of and more. We highly recommend this venue, you will not be disappointed.

What a great place to have a wedding! Every moment and step with the Secret Garden was great. Our event Planner Stepfany was on point with everything. She was attentive to our needs, questions, and concerns. She made us feel comfortable when making decisions, gave us her input and suggestions but told us it's our wedding and it's ultimately our decision. As we were excited so was she, she made us feel like she cared. And when the big day of the wedding came, Stephany and the venue proved it by their actions. Wedding days can be extremely stressful especially for the bride but she was attentive and made sure everything went smoothly. The Venue is also really nice and what I love about it, is that its private and intimate for you and your guest. Hands down our wedding went well but it would have not been as great without having it at the Secret Garden. I would highly suggest having your dream wedding here.

The Secret Garden was the perfect venue for our daughter’s 2/8/2020 wedding! The newlyweds, Katelyn & Kevin, each said that it was the best day of their lives! With Stepheny as our coordinator, everything ran seamlessly. She was a dream to work with; she’s warm, extremely professional, efficient & thorough. It’s clear that this is not just her job, it’s her passion & she treated us like family. The tasting with Chef Doug was like an event! He was entertaining, informative & kind. Everything we sampled was delicious & beautifully presented. We left absolutely knowing that our guests were in for a real treat! It’s important to feel confident that you’re in good hands before the big event. We definitely felt that way & for good reason. Everything from the ceremony, that was lit gold by the setting sun, to the dazzling sparkler exit, felt magical. Several guests commented that this was ”the PERFECT wedding!” Out-of-towners & locals alike were awed by this hidden jewel of a place with its beautiful mountain views & lush gardens full of twinkling lights. It’s super inviting & romantic! We were blessed to have perfect weather in this gorgeous setting for the ceremony & cocktail hour, as well. Great music, cocktails & appetizers kicked things up a notch & got the party started! We enjoyed dinner & dancing in the Pavilion. Its classic Spanish style w/ cathedral ceiling, iron chandeliers, double french doors, patio fireplace, etc. made a rich backdrop for our decor, which included lush high & low floral centerpieces, tons of candles & sparkly gold touches. We envisioned an elegant, enchanting garden wedding & it was all that & more. All the preferred vendors were wonderful to work with & delivered on their promises. Also, the bridal party had a blast getting ready in the historical main house, where the guys & gals have separate quarters to dress in & have photos taken. The bride’s suite is very formal; beautifully appointed & elegant! We highly recommend The Secret Garden for any event. Look forward to finding an excuse to plan something there again in the near future. :) ***On a side note, Sammy (who is also a coordinator there) helped me with set up for a small fee. Her efficient manner, expertise & calming demeanor proved invaluable to me!

My daughter and son-in-law chose Secret Garden over many venues. I have been in the hospitality industry for over 30 years, and words cannot describe how amazing the wedding was. Stepheny and her team anticipated our needs rather than reacting. The venue was simply beautiful and the food was outstanding. I wish we could do it over again! Cindi Bessette

This venue is amazing! The grounds are gorgeous and the staff is out of this world! Not to mention the Creative Hands catering made the most fabulous food for our wedding! Not only were we extremely pleased with everything the venue had to offer but we received so many compliments from friends and family on the the services and food from the venue! I seriously can't recommend them more!

Stephanie and the Secret Garden Event Center helped make our day perfect. The venue is such a beautiful historic landmark. They take such good care of their property. The bridal suites were beautifully decorated for photos and spacious for everyone to get ready. The grooms suite was far enough away from the bridal suite that I didn’t have to worry about seeing my husband. The photos came back so beautiful for the ceremony and the reception. The ceremony area is perfect! With the alter at the top of a slight hill there is not a bad seat! Fake grass so my heals didn’t sink in. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! Stephanie the wedding coordinator was a huge help, she made sure I didn’t worry about a single thing. I highly recommend this venue to everyone. Beautiful areas for photos and it is spacious for all your family members. And SUCH a wonderful team with their Creative Hands Cuisine Caterer in house. Food was also so amazing!

This is one of those times where 5 stars is not enough to adequately describe how wonderful a place is. The Secret Garden, Creative Hands Cuisine, and the amazing staff helped my husband and I have the wedding of our dreams! From the very beginning (when we toured the venue for the first time) to the very end (saying "I do"), the Secret Garden had every last detail under control. Their coordination with our other vendors was astounding - everything on the day of our wedding ran so smoothly and effortlessly, my husband and I were actually surprised because we were expecting something unplanned to happen. We got to enjoy our day without worry and soak in every moment, and we owe so much to this place for helping make our wedding day the best day of our lives. All of the kudos to our wedding coordinator, Stepheny. She was so on top of everything, knew every little detail of what we wanted, and worked tirelessly to make everything happen the way we hoped it would. Stepheny was truly a joy to have with us throughout the planning process and we highly recommend having her as your wedding day coordinator if you go with this venue! Long story short, we couldn't imagine having our dream wedding anywhere else. From the perfect atmosphere during the ceremony, to the dreamy outdoor dinner and FANTASTIC food, to the indoor reception area where we partied all night - the Secret Garden holds such a special place in our hearts now. We are truly thankful to them for everything and hope to visit them again soon for more events!

Five stars is not enough for the Secret Garden Event Center and our coordinator Stepheny! The Secret Garden Event Center was the perfect place to have our wedding. The vendors they work with are top notch! Aside from how pretty and well maintained the venue is. The real hidden gem is their event coordinators! Our coordinator was Stepheny, and she is phenomenal! From our first email, she was extremely attentive. Any question, concern, or hiccups that came up she had an answer.. The closer we got, the more we reached out to finalize details. Without fail Stepheny always got back to us on the next business day. Even after the wedding, she got back to us on her day off! If I called she always made herself available or called back that day! When we had our tasting she was there with us. We had the good fortunate of meeting her husband, who is a chef with Creative Hands Cuisine, he was our chef for that night. We had several attendees who have dietary restrictions, including myself. Both Stepheny and Stephan know the menu inside and out. They were able to help us plan an amazing menu! We could not have had a more perfect wedding day! To be perfectly honest a good portion of that goes into how organized Stepheny and the vendors contracted with The Secret Garden Event Center are. Stepheny handled every little detail. At the end of the night she even grabbed the heels, I had changed out of and got them in a box so they made it home! I can’t even imagine how stressed if I would have been the day of the wedding, if not for Stepheny and the vendors we had! Thankfully I had no stress and that is in large part due to the fact that I knew Stepheny had it handled. She knew our wedding and all the plans inside and out, and took care of it all! Every detail Stepheny has thought of, and will be able to use her knowledge and expertise to make your event as amazing as ours! Creative Hands Cuisine will take care of any and all dietary needs! On top of that the food will be top notch! You can not find a venue with better food! The contracted cake vendor is Inspired Sugar, and the cake is amazing! We could not have asked for more delicious cake. Our guests told us best wedding cake they'd ever had! They even suggested the bakery we got gluten free cakes from, for our guests. Starz Entertainment has an amazing online portal to take you through the entertainment package process. The djs they have are top notch. Stepheny had all the details handled better than anyone else! The being said the dj we had, Brent has bringing a party to life down to a science! Fred's Florist is one of three florist we had the choice to choose from. We felt Renee with Fred's Florist connected best with us. They really added to the beauty to our event! The bouquets, centerpieces, flower girl crowns, corsages, boutonnières, chuppah, and all other decorations they were involved in were gorgeous! The only vendors we had to find outside of their package list we photography/videography and specialty cake. For photography/videography we went with RMW Photography and Videography. Rebecca and her whole team are incredible. We didn't even know they were there, unless they were giving direct instructions for photos. Specialty cake was made by Jewel's Cafe and Bakery! Guests couldn't even tell it was gluten free, or that the other specialty cake was gluten free, dairy free! Our guests are telling us we had the best wedding ever! It was made possible by The Secret Garden Event Center.

I would give Secret Garden 100 stars if I could! They truly made our vision come to life and made it better than we could have imagined! Between the incredible coordinating staff, the catering, the service staff, etc. they were everything a wedding team should be and more. They helped me stay on top of everything as the date got closer and when it came down to the day of, I wasn't worried about a single thing because they really helped us all feel comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend Secret Garden for any event - they made our day so perfect and special.

Wonderful venue and staff! We had an amazing experience doing our wedding through this venue. Our wedding was on May 3rd of 2019. We live in Richmond Virginia so we did everything long distance and honestly it was so easy because of the staff here. Carina was the BEST day of coordinator I could’ve imagined. The food was delicious and all of our guests raved about the food and the venue. There are several different areas within the venue and what’s nice is that you have access to them all pretty much. Highly recommend! Thank so much Secret Garden for being so accommodating and for having such an amazing list of vendors to work with. Special thank you to Carina!!! ♥️

This venue was AMAZING!!!! The staff & food & all of there suggested vendors were all top notch! I’m still getting compliments on the food & venue! 💗

The Secret Garden was home to a beautiful wedding reception full of memories we will cherish forever. Our ceremony was held at a church in Chandler but we wanted a venue location for the reception that would have easy access to the airport and hotels as most of our guests were traveling. Our guests stayed at the Arizona Grand Resort and it worked out very well having a private shuttle run between the two places (the service at the AZ Grand was truly five star and there is a discount code for booking with the Secret Garden- highly recommend). The staff at the Secret Garden, particularly Stepheny was amazing. I work very random hours in the ER (in Michigan, with a three hour time difference) and she promptly replied via phone, text and email on nights and weekends. She worked seamlessly with an outside wedding planner we hired and truly seems to love what she does. The venue itself sells the packages for a reason, they deliver them well. There was some opportunity for improved flexibility on certain things outside of those packages, though in the end they truly delivered. The best example of this was the menu tasting, we recommend contacting them early and requesting the entrees/hors d'oeuvres you are interested in tasting (otherwise it is a general menu they prepare). The venue itself is a beautiful setting. We used the large lawn for our cocktail hour complete with a quartet in the gazebo, the wedding burro, lawn games and two bars. Our dinner under the stars was timed perfectly for a sunset seating, complete with a duet plated service delivered beautifully by Chef Doug with creative hands cuisine (those mashed potatoes though!) and live jazz music. Electricity in the garden area has historically been a bit difficult, but Stepheny worked in coordination with our DJ (Greg, Gold Ring Entertainment) and our Jazz Band to make sure enough power was available. Dinner was truly magical. I remember taking a moment with my husband during dinner and looking out at all of the candlelit tables full of our favorite people and thinking how blessed we are. Inspired sugar delivered a beautiful and equally delicious cake to serve as our third course and then we moved inside for dancing! I don’t think we left the dance floor the rest of the night. At one point, I did briefly step out when the bustle on my dress broke. Stepheny was the first person by my side literally with a needle and thread offering to stitch it back together. The service throughout the entire night was genuine, kind and excellent. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special.

Our wedding at the Secret Garden was an absolute dream day. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to Carina Inganamort and our wedding planner Tina. Leading up to the wedding, we were able to have open lines of communication with them about every little question that popped into our heads at all hours of the day, and we would receive a response within the day. The staff at Secret Garden always went above and beyond and made sure we knew how special they wanted our day to be. 

 Added perks that may be of note for newly engaged couples: 1 - They have a monthly payment option so you don’t need to pay for the venue upfront (just a deposit to hold your date). 2- This venue looks like a beautiful mission in Southern California, but has Arizona pricing. 3 - The preferred vendors they use are GREAT. Everyone absolutely loved Brent from Starz DJs - he got so many compliments from our guests, and rightfully so! The in house catering from Creative Hands Cuisine was also a huge hit. 4- They were great about working with our budget from start to finish. Overall, I highly recommend Secret Garden to any couple looking for a venue that is beautiful with some added touches, but enough of a blank slate to make your own stamp on your special day.

My husband and I live in Norway (I am American) so it was very important for us to get married at a location which could easily accommodate our American friends/family as well as our guests from all over the world in relaxed but sophisticated surroundings. We really wanted a location which lent itself well to interaction among guests but was still classy enough to feel like a wedding venue. WHY WE CHOOSE THE SECRET GARDEN The Secret Garden is not only beautiful, with its Spanish Mission styled buildings and lush gardens but cosy and intimate too. As we had such a unique group of people attending, we really wanted people to mingle in a relaxed and beautiful atmosphere. Also, my husband and I loved that we got married on the grounds of a historic home with character. LOCATION The grounds are tidy, thoughtful and well laid out. You get some desert vibes without being too ranch-y and do not have to walk long stretches to get from one part of your program to the other. The fountain at the entrance and the arches on the property are a nice touch. The grand staircase is just beautiful too. Several of our guests commented on how pleasant it was to be able to go outside to talk or just mingle next to the fire during our reception. So something for everyone – the dancers, non-dancers and some desert vibes too! PRE-PLANNING and WEDDING DAY We worked with Stepheny and she was very humorous and kind, but also thoughtful and resourceful. Since I was in Norway for all of the pre-planning, Stepheny chatted with me on Skype and emailed back and forth with me. She held my hand through much of the planning process but also gave me enough space to make my own decisions too. I never felt like she was pushy or trying to pull a fast one on us either. She was “on top of” our event and was mindful any of the important details we asked be respected. She also made sure some extra touches were in place on the day of our ceremony, so everything flowed well. Again, she was organized, thoughtful, positive and HONEST – pretty much everything you’d hope for on your wedding day. I personally felt taken care of and respected but also got to relax and just have fun on the day of because she was a professional. Maggie was also a part of our journey with The Secret Garden. Again, very professional and really sweet when we met her in person. THE FOOD We’re big time foodies (hate that word but it’s true) – and were blown away by the menu from Creative Hands. Not only was the food delicious but stylish and simply put, perfect. Edible flowers, visually interesting garnishes plus thoughtfully done combinations – and the food was tasty too! I think about half our wedding party came up to us to rave about the food during the event and we’re talking about a crowd from 11 different countries! So yes, if you enjoy a good meal and need a chef who can provide a world class dining experience, this is definitely the place for you. I cannot rave enough about the food – it was excellent! WHAT WE WERE MOST DELIGHTED WITH I wouldn’t change anything about our wedding and am so thankful we had such a top-notch venue to host our special day! We absolutely loved the Secret Garden as our event venue and LOVED (!!!!!!) Creative Hands as our caterer. If you’re getting married in Phoenix area, you MUST book your wedding at the Secret Garden.

We just had our wedding at the secret garden the beginning of October and I couldn’t have asked for anything more amazing!! The Venue is so beautiful and perfect for any wedding. The guest could not stop talking how amazing the food was and the staff was so professional and helpful throughout the night, the wedding coordinator even was there to help sew my dress when a malfunction happened. I would recommend this venue to anyone to have their wedding here :)

As an out of state couple planning from Connecticut I could not have had a better experience with the Secret Garden. From start to finish every question, request, and need was met promptly...which as a busy bride is always the best feeling. Not only is it a beautiful venue that your guests will love, but the food is AMAZING! We’ve all been to weddings where the food was sub par, this is not the case. My bridal party and guests are still raving over their dinner. Our coordinator Carina deserves 5 stars of her own. You’ll never meet a more prompt, sweet, and informative person in all of your planning adventures. You know you’ve lucked out when you feel like you’re discussing your ideas with a friend rather than a staff member. We could not recommend this venue more, you won’t be disappointed!

Secret Garden made everything so easy for us! It was such a beautiful day. Our ceremony and reception were both held outside. Everything was stress free! Thank you for making our special day so wonderful.
