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.

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 orga...
nized 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.

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 h...
ave 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.

edding. 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!

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!

t. 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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

ined 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.

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.

 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.

urroundings. 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.

der, staff, cake, DJ, and photographers were amazing and on point! The only down fall to anything that day were moments that our day of coordinator, Maggie, had. Ok first off, when we had our walk through of the venue it was perfect! Maggie was the one who actually sold the place to us and she had me in tears! She was amazing and we wanted her on the day of our wedding. She was honestly lovely up until the actual day of the wedding. I showed up and went to my bridal suite with my girls. I had no idea where Maggie was and assumed she was in her office working, which was fine with me. About 30-45 minutes later, as I'm getting my makeup done, Maggie comes into the bridal suite, no hello or anything, and starts lecturing my make-up artist about getting the makeup off of the new chairs. She clearly seemed stressed and immediately made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I brushed it off. My mom comes back from me sending her to check on a few things and comments on how Maggie seems stressed out. That's great. I find out later that she interrupted my mother-in-law while she was helping the guys put on their boutonnieres, and told her she was doing it wrong. What?! Then, she comes up to the bridal suite and rushes my bridesmaids to get downstairs and lined up. I asked if she could have the groom start walking down the aisle while the girls lined up because they were in white and it was a surprise for my husband to see them in white, because my dress wasn't white. She sternly looked at me and said, "It's too late for that.". I honestly couldn't believe it. She apologized and said, "We didn't rehearse that so sorry.". I don't understand what was so hard about making a tiny adjustment last minute and I'm sorry that I clearly had so much on my mind that I didn't mention that at the rehearsal. In the midst of all of this happening, being rushed, I forgot to put my veil on. Then, while she was helping take gifts out to be loaded, she was rude to my maid of honor and she started taking cards out of gift bags! So we had to go on our registry and ask many people what they got us, so for when we did our thank you cards. Kind of embarrassing and more work for us. The staff started cleaning up way too early. We paid to have the venue until 11pm and they started cleaning up around 10pm. We did not expect that to happen. Overall the venue was phenomenal and besides Maggie and the staff cleaning up early, everything was perfect and this post would've gotten 5 stars. The previous manager, Alexis, and the new manager, Monica; whom both assisted in the planning process, were amazing!! Beautiful venue and everyone couldn't stop talking about how lovely the wedding was. Maybe Maggie was having a bad day, it happens, but it was unfortunate that it had to happen on our wedding day. -The Murdicks
