Secret Gardens Miami

We met Joe and Blanca three years ago when we did our first wedding at Secret Gardens, from that moment this magic place became our main preferred Venue to work as a vendor. This place is beautiful, the new clear tent with A/C is definitely important for weddings in Miami. These people are amazing and make life of clients and vendors better, If I ever get married I will do it in Secret Gardens.

Secret Gardens Miami is truly a dream venue for weddings. The beautifully landscaped gardens, cascading waterfalls, and serene koi ponds create a magical ambiance perfect for any romantic occasion. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration, the space adapts seamlessly to your vision. Blanca, Joe and all the staff are incredibly professional and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect. Their commitment to excellence is evident in how effortlessly they coordinate with vendors and manage the event timeline. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with exceptional service, Secret Gardens Miami is the perfect choice. It’s not just a venue; it’s an experience that you and your guests will cherish forever.

I have witness more than 27 weddings, and the secret gardens location is second to none. The magical ponds, the animals, and the greenery are so romantic and make for any experience the best. Joe and Blanca have more than 20 years of marriage and their love is reflected in every unique event they host. If you are looking for a place to make memories this is where you want to be.

There is no denying that Secret Gardens is a beautiful location and makes for a stunning backdrop for any event. That said, this review is focused on the poor customer service we received for our wedding in October of 2024. We toured the venue in April of 2023 and signed for our October date. We booked the large property and paid to use their iconic open-air clear tent with twinkle lights. Their contract states that the props throughout the property are subject to change and what you see during your tour may not be what is there for your event, which is understandable. That said, we could not have expected the drastic change to the property that we experienced. To make a long story short, Secret Gardens demolished the plastic tent that we had come to expect for our wedding and replaced it with an enclosed glass structure…with NO communication about this change. In their eyes, this was a complimentary upgrade they were providing to their clients who had signed for the previous structure. The problem? They provided absolutely NO communication about this change. The only reason we found out was because we asked to do a self-guided tour in April of 2024 and saw that there was construction happening on the property. We scheduled a call shortly after with Joe Doyle, Sales & Marketing Director, to ask more questions about the construction. When asked about their communication plan for their clients about this change he essentially said that they were not going to communicate with their 200+ clients because construction is unpredictable and they didn’t want to be providing constant updates. We were dissatisfied about the lack of communication, but Joe went into full “salesman mode” and kept promising us that we were going to love it, that it was a complimentary upgrade, and that it was going to be the better than what we had expected. He couldn’t understand why we weren’t happy and was actually surprised by our reaction. It seemed like a reasonable expectation to be communicated of such a change to our wedding venue, but they didn’t think so. What’s worse, is that this change was within 6 months of our event date. According to the contract, if we cancelled within 6 months of our date, we would owe them all the money. Whether they acknowledge it or not, this put us in a difficult position. I mentioned to Joe the difficult position they were putting us in and it was only in that moment when he took a brief pause during his “trust me, everything is great” speech that he offered to not charge us if we chose to cancel. We had no choice because we didn’t want to try and find another venue with less than 6 months to our date, so we agreed to keep our event there and make it work. Did the event turn out beautiful? Sure. Was the enclosed space actually quite nice considering the rainy weather we had during our wedding? Yeah. But the treatment we received with this lack of communication really soured the whole experience. Given this lack of communication, the lack of acknowledgement and empathy with our concerns we would not recommend Secret Gardens. Unfortunately, I don’t believe they will take this as a learning opportunity as they receive a lot of business and are generally very successful. Be extremely wary if you choose to work with them. I hope that if you do, you have a much more positive experience than we did.

Really beautiful venue and great list of recommended vendors

This place is absolutely breathtaking!!! Had a wedding here and posted some pics on social media and everyone kept texting and asking where this was! I’m so happy that I stumbled across this place on the internet as it was a little hidden. More people should know about this place! Scheduled a tour immediately and knew this place was it!!! Their main focuses include weddings so they’re highly experienced in conducting events at this caliber. Joe, the owner was incredibly easy to work with and super generous!!! This place also needs no decoration as it was already perfect the way it is. We forgot to bring a few decoration pieces on the day of the wedding, but honestly no one missed them. Lol I would recommend getting the tent with AC though, your guests would probably appreciate it. It rained a little on our wedding day, but we were super glad that we were able to move some part of the wedding under the tent. It’s nice to have both indoor and outdoor options as the weather can be a bit unpredictable in Miami. We were also able to switch the schedule around a little due to the rain too since we had more indoor space, so at the end, everything turned out great and everyone had a great time! Thanks so much everyone!!!!

We had our wedding at Secret Gardens Miami and it was so beautiful. The staff Joe and Blanca were a great help! They were always quick to answer any questions we had and help us along the way. I would 100% recommend this venue for your wedding or any event. It is an extremely beautiful location.

There’s so much I can say about Miami secret gardens. I got married May 10th, 2024 and it was the wedding of my dreams! I couldn’t recommend this venue more , from the simplicity of preferred vendors to the absolutely stunning property. Joe and Blanca are beyond kind and professional. They made booking our wedding beyond easy. My now husband had several health problems and we had to move our wedding 3 times. Joe was so kind helping us move the wedding and rescheduling during that rough time in our lives. If you are a bride in south Florida Miami Secret Gardens is the place to go!!

I don’t even know where to start. Secret gardens is just a dream! My husband and I fell inlove with the venue the first time we saw it and knew instantly that’s where we wanted our wedding. Joe and Blanca were so amazing with the whole process! Any questions we had they would help us in a heart beat. Amazing people with an amazing venue. My guest can’t stop talking about how beautiful the secret gardens is. Thank you Joe and Blanca for making our dreams come to reality!

There is absolutely no better place to host a wedding than Secret Gardens. Everything you could possibly need from a venue is on site. Breathtaking scenery and top notch vendor partners. Joe and Blanca were amazing in their partnership to support our big day. Highly recommend for any event or photoshoot needs you have.

The Secret Gardens Miami was the best venue I could have asked for. It was like stepping into a beautiful oasis with ponds, fish, and waterfalls. Joe and Blanca are very responsive and are amazing to work with. I recommend to anyone! We did the large property, the clear top tent (A MUST) with two night stay in the on-site villa. We also got the privilege to work with all of their preferred vendors which was amazing since they know the property inside and out. All you need is one food tasting at the Secret Gardens and they will have you lined up to book! I wish I could do a wedding every year here it was that amazing! thanks so much Joe and Blanca for helping me have the best night of my life!

My husband and I got married at Secret Gardens on Feb 4, 2024. Before booking Secret Gardens, we toured a number of other venues from Port St Lucie to Miami and we were blown away by the natural beauty at Secret Gardens. Joe, one of the owners, was very quick to respond to any questions and emails I sent. The crew that maintains the property does an amazing job. If anything wasn’t right with the property or houses on the property, their team acted quickly to fix the problem. We will definitely be back in the future for a photoshoot or two.

I truly could not imagine a more perfect venue to host my wedding at. I toured many different venues and not only was Secret Gardens the nicest, it was also the most reasonable in price. Joe, the property manager, and his wife, Blanca, really care about their clients. Joe worked with me for months to ensure everything went perfect on my special day. They were extremely accommodating. This venue is STUNNING. There are so many different areas for your guests to explore. Our guests were all obsessed with how nice, clean, and picturesque this venue is. You simply must tour it. The natural beauty is breathtaking, which makes for excellent photos for you and your guests. One thing that's extra special about Secret Gardens is the layout of the venue. At most wedding venues, you're stuck in one room and it's too loud to make conversation. At Secret Gardens, your guests can break it down on the dance floor or talk and mingle anywhere on the property. A majority of our guests stayed until the very end of our wedding simply because of the great layout being conducive to everyone's interests. There is something for everyone. I truly cannot recommend Secret Gardens enough. It was the perfect wedding venue. We had the best wedding ever!

Last night was my daughters’ wedding and I cannot begin to describe the joy in my heart as review every single minute of our day. From the time we arrived to the venue for cocktail hour and photos, to the dinner, DJ, and the catering staff, I cannot think of 1 situation I wish would have been different. Everyone was so willing to help, they went out of their way to make sure we stayed on schedule. The appetizers were delicious! The bartenders all knew each other and were having fun with us! Every trip to the bar was a pleasant conversation or a good laugh. The food was exquisite! DJ adhered to my daughter’s music preference to the perfection! Catering staff was very professional and served food as people sat, to make sure everyone got a hot meal, we had different menu options and they knew just who ordered what. I just can’t say enough about my experience last night. Thank you sooooo much to everyone that made this night unforgettable and a COMPLETE success!!!

We got married at Secret Gardens in November and everything turned out beautifully! The property is a slice of paradise. Immediately upon arrival it’s clear that Joe and Blanca take such great care of it. We were floored by how beautiful the WHOLE property is. They also clearly care so much for each couple. Our requests were listened to and accommodated and overall they were just so incredibly easy to work with. We are so happy we decided to go with Secret Garden as our wedding venue!

A few days ago my wife and I had the wedding of our dreams at Secret Gardens Miami’s Villa Laguna property, and it was everything we could’ve hoped for. Upon visiting Secret Gardens the first time for their wedding expo (where we toured the property, met the owners and many of their preferred vendors and sampled food and beverages) we knew it was the perfect venue for us. Their pricing was beyond fair, especially in contrast to many other venues of similar size nearby, but beyond that it was stunning the night of our wedding. They have lights strung through trees and a gorgeously lit reception tent, their lush vegetation and blue green lagoons were a gorgeous setting to spend the night among. All of our guests loved it. What’s more, the layout of the venue allowed us to split the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception into three unique settings, cocktail hour under their tiki cabana was a big hit. I can’t speak any higher of Joe and Blanca Doyle, who run Secret Gardens. Every time me or my wife had a question I would text one of them and almost every time we’d have a response within five minutes, they were so attentive to our needs even in months prior to the our big day. True professionals, if we needed help with direction in any sense they would either have the answer ready for our questions or were quick to put us in touch with the person who did, and they set us up with some really amazing vendors. With the exception of one, all of our vendors were from their preferred list, and having a team who had not only all worked the venue but had also worked the venue together before made the day of come together seamlessly. It made everything so smooth. To top it off, when my wife showed up to prepare morning of, she arrived to find the Doyle’s had an entire crew on site freshly mowing the grass, picked up fallen branches and beautifying the whole property. She got ready with her girls in their on site suite and had the best time, even the photos she had taken from cellphones while they prepared in the beautiful suite looked like they were straight out of a magazine. All in all they delivered better than I could’ve hoped, excellent communication and quick to address any concerns, even the day of Joe was there to make sure everything was running smooth. If you want a venue thats absolutely gorgeous and owners that make your life easy as possible, you won’t regret choosing Secret Gardens Miami. Their main property was beautiful as well, but for our wedding of just over 70 people, the Villa Laguna property was perfect size and a huge success. Thank you Joe and Blanca, and the team at Secret Gardens Miami.

Secret Gardens is heaven on Earth! Such a magical vibe to this place. My husband & I looked at 1 venue throughout our entire wedding planning process and just knew that Secret Gardens was THE place. There was no way we could have our BIG day in any other location. We’re still in awe with this place. Blanca and Joe were phenomenal from Day 1 and were always attentive to our questions and concerns. Our families continue to talk about how beautiful and special the venue was. We honestly thought it would be tough to plan and have our destination wedding but the venue did not disappoint and provided us so many preferred vendors which helped in our planning process. Thank you to Blanca and Joe! You guys have a very special place in our hearts!!

Today, April 8th, we participated in the well-executed venue tour by Blanca and Joe. It was set up almost as a mini-expo, totally recommend to attend if you get the chance. Blanca and Joes set up different vendors such as violinist, Chefs, DJ, florist, juices, drinks, party planner, officiant, and makeup artist showcase some of their work. We even got to try some of the food and juices which were delicious! Afterwards we took a tour of the beautiful property with Joe, he answered all of questions, and even showed us set up options we could have for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The communication was effortless from our first inquiry to the day of the tour. I definitely recommend checking this place out.

Amazing property! So many lush areas that creates the perfect spot for an outdoor wedding. I visited their taste testing/tour. Blanca and Joe were very welcoming and their preferred vendors were very informative on what they offered. I reached out to them for an appointment and they responded promptly

We were there today for a tour of the venue and a vendor presentation. Let me just say that the level of professionalism is impressive. The place is gorgeous and the food from Chef Stephen at over the top catering was plentiful and delicious. We were beyond impressed. The icing on the cake was the kindness and generosity of the owners Joe and Blanca. We got to speak with Blanca after the tour she had such helpful advice not just for the wedding but good life advice. She has a passion for helping people. Thank you Secret Gardens for a wonderful time this morning.

Secret Garden was the perfect place to have our wedding. The views and gardens are spectacular. It was so beautiful for our outdoor wedding, and then an easy transition to the reception tent. Joe and Blanca are wonderful to work with and responded quickly which was important to us since we both have busy schedules. . They also work with a lot of great vendors with their same work ethics that help make our wedding they extra special. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue. What

One of the BEST venues!!! My dream came true and everything about the venue is what i WANTED! Joe and Blanca has worked out with my wedding very well. I appreciate their flexibility with rescheduling the wedding under the unforeseen circumstances and they were more than happy to make it happen for us. Its a MUST to book this venue. You cannot say no. On our first tour, i fell in love immediately and booked the venue right away. joe and blanca is a great people to work with! we will definitely come back for their business. Im glad im now part of their family. We got married at their venue is a lifetime achievement. Our wedding was a huge success!!!!! We love you Joe & Blanca and the staffs! The venue has a plenty of spots for pictures! Waterfall is so gorgeous. I was surprised how well they take care of the gardens. NO MOSQUITOES. Mosquitoes LOVES me anywhere but this venue, they spray and maintain their gardens very well. My forever favorite venue period.

Sativa here, Assistant Event Planner for my clients Audrey and Edwidge. Thank you Joe, Blanca and your amazing team for all of your doing with Audrey and Eddie's wedding. What a special treat it was to hold the wedding at your beautiful venue, Secret Gardens Miami! It was a pleasure meeting and working with you these last few months.

The venue was absolutely gorgeous! We had to originally postpone our wedding, and Joe and Blanca were so accommodating! All our guests kept saying how beautiful everything was and how so many people would love to renew their vows or get married at the venue.

This venue was just magical. Just what I always dreamed of. It was just perfect!!! The Best day of my life!!! All the vendors, everybody involved in making my dream wedding thank you so much!!! Special thanks to Joe and Blanca for allowing us to use this beautiful paradise as our venue. So happy and grateful for this day, this Venue, and everybody who made this happen. Thank you!!!!

We had our destination wedding at Secret Gardens Miami after seeing the venue back in March earlier this year. It's the most beautiful, magical place for a wedding or ceremony or even a celebration! We adore it as did our family and friends who couldn't believe how gorgeous it is! On top of this Joe and Blanca went above and beyond both on the day and around it to make sure we were comfortable and happy. They are great people. We hope to return in the future xx

Our guests were STUNNED by our venue! We chose to have our ceremony at night and the glowing waterfalls, hanging lights throughout the property and chandeliers under the tent created an absolutely magical atmosphere. Joe was very responsive and kind, it was a pleasure to work with him. The staff was helpful on the wedding day and made sure we were informed as to what to do to avoid cleaning fees. Aside from the fact that they misplaced our fish food bags (which were replaced, so no big deal), they were absolutely perfect. We received countless compliments from our guests. With so many beautiful ponds and gorgeous grounds to stroll through, there wasn't a boring moment for them. I wish we could re-live the day over and over again!

So happy we picked this venue. Joe and Blanca promised that we would have a great event and it was even better than I could have hoped. To see that smile on my daughter and new sons face made it all worthwhile. If you want to be treated like royalty and have your guests totally blown away look no further than the Secret Garden. Thanks again Joe and Blanca. God Bless.

Nice place! We had a great experience planning our event!! Everything looked beautiful and exceeded our expectations!! Everyone was super friendly and worked every detail with us so we could get exactly what we wanted. Great experience from beginning to end.

Beautiful!! Joe and Blanca were extremely helpful in making sure our wedding day was exactly what we wanted it to be. The venue is a large property with endless places to take beautiful photos. It was everything I wanted it to be and more, highly recommended.

Honestly don’t know where to start. Secret Gardens was a blessing from the very beginning. It was actually the first venue my fiancé and I saw and we immediately fell in love with everything we saw. It was an easy decision for us to choose Secret Gardens as the one - they checked all of our boxes. 3 bedroom villa on site, clear tent on the property, soooo many photo op spots, gorgeous natural environment, and no time restrictions! I was able to stay and get ready on site all day and then we partied until 1am with no issues. Then you throw in the owners… Joe & Blanca were God sends. I was able to reach out to them - text or email - at any time during the planning process and they always got back to me fast & efficiently. I felt loved, supported, and welcomed as part of their family. They care so much for all their clients and do whatever it takes to make them happy. Thank you to the whole Secret Gardens team! My wedding was my perfect day & better than my dreams!!

Secret Gardens is a magically romantic venue. The compliments from guests were endless and I know the photos will be absolutely beautiful memories we can look back on for years. Aside from how perfect the ambiance of this place is, their team is AMAZING! They were so accommodating from our first tour to even after our wedding day. I'm so thankful for Joe and Blanca. We were invited to have our engagement shoot on property, welcomed to visit anytime, and were allowed to have my dog (our ring bearer) sniff around prior to wedding day. On top of that, I accidentally left my bouquet on property after the wedding. Joe responded promptly, as always, put it in water and had it ready for me to pick up the next day. I have nothing but great things to say. My thanks are endless!

Our wedding was so beautiful thanks to this amazing venue!! Beyond happy with their services!! Thank you a billion times!

My family and friends loved our venue! Everything looked so beautiful. My favorite part was the ceremony overlooking the lagoon. We rented out Villa Laguna, and could not be happier with how everything turned out. Having the opportunity to move the guests through 3 different sections (ceremony by lagoon and bridge, cocktail hour by the second waterfront, and reception under the tent) really made it feel so spacious and beautiful. I love that everything was outside, and there was enough room under the reception area to space the tables out and still have so much space for dancing. This was the perfect venue for us and 65 guests. Very happy with our choice. Also want to add that we used Events by Molina for catering. They are the sweetest, and the food was delicious!! All of our guests were raving about the hors d'oeuvres and entrees. The cake was delicious as well. They even had options for late night snacks and doggy bags which is great. I will most definitely be using them for events in the future.

This place is absolutely breathtaking. Joe and Blanca keep this place so beautifully. They are great to work with and want to make your dreams come to life. I had an amazing time at my wedding. There’s no other venue like it. The one bad thing I will say is that the supposed “man cave” is literally a trailer with two chairs. We had 8 groomsmen plus some family members with the groom the day of the wedding. They complained that it was ugly and just not comfortable, nobody could sit and it was difficult to put food there for the men to eat during the getting ready phase. During the planning process they kept raving about their man cave and we asked to see it on 4 separate occasions and it was always conveniently booked no matter how dead the place was. Other than that I had a great experience.

I do not usually write reviews. However.. We had the wedding of our dreams! Thanks to Joe and Blanca 11.07.2021 was absolutely magical.🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.. We chose the venue as a destination wedding site.. and we made the right decision in 2019. The Venue is absolutely breathtaking!! The moment we did our walk through we sealed and signed the contract.. Our wedding date had to be postponed twice due to Covid and international guests travel plans. This venue was WORTH the wait! Never once any hassles, headaches or running around. Every question, query concern were answered to our satisfaction. Joe and Blanca are the kindest couple, she called me her NYC bride. We never once thought of moving our wedding to a different venue! They offered suggestions about ceremony sites, hotel accommodations etc. The catering options were superb! This venue fitted my elegant, classy sophisticated, romantic wedding theme. Every detail went according to our plans even in record time planning and re scheduling! Today I am still receiving compliments on the venue selection. Looking at our photos!! ( we can tell why). Together with an amazing team of vendors, we have memories for a lifetime! Thank you Joe and Blanca Secret Gardens Miami. PS: we will stay in touch with them!

This is the most beautiful and well kept venue you can find in the Redlands from lagoons, waterfalls, a piano, a bed, lighted signs, swans and more all immaculately kept. The website falls short when you actually visit the place. Service is exceptional Joe and his wife Blanca are always available and will respond promptly finding a way to please you. I have not yet found a negative spot on it.

Everything about the venue is amazing! From the scenery to the customer service, everything is top notch. Blanca will make sure everything is running perfectly from start to finish!

Everything about my wedding was a complete dream! The Secret Gardens in Miami, Fl is definitely the place to have a dream wedding. The staff was polite and easy to deal with from day one! The owners recommended Yeni to be my wedding planner and she was perfect! She handled everything I needed handled! My wedding went so smoothly. I couldn’t be more happier with how it turned out.

Thank you for allowing us to use such a great and beautiful property. We had a great time. Thank you Joe and Blanca for the assistance.

Secret Gardens is the most spectacular venue in all of Florida !!! Think BLUE LAGOON, meets THE BEACH (and stick to the happy-exotic scenes). From the moment I arrived I was swept off my feet. Every nook and cranny was perfect. A whimsical bellini cart placed at the entrance before the bridge. A violinist greeted us with classy tunes as we crossed said bridge. A cigar lounge for the men (and some women). A bar-attendant elegantly dressed, and happy to serve up bubbly, beer and more. A gourmet coffee station complete with specialty coffees and every-ccino under the sun. This in conjunction with all the natural beauty and splendor of the place. Blanca and Joe are are no-nonsense top notch party planners. They were the masterminds behind my baby shower this past weekend and along with their recommended vendors, created a magical experience I (and my guests) will never forget. They were easy to reach, friendly, and above all patient with my mom’s countless inquiries. Words can’t do this place (or my shower) justice. Thank you Blanca, Joe and the entire Secret Gardens crew for blowing my event out of the water.

Where do I start, this venue is BEAUTIFUL and versatile. I was looking for a venue for some time and when I walked in I was instantly in love. What made The Secret Gardens Miami so helpful was the tasting and tour they offer on Sundays. Blanca was so warm and inviting during her presentation. The best part was I was able to find my caterer, wedding planner, and DJ all in one spot. Which was really helpful because like most, if this is your first wedding you don't even know where to start. Once my date was set I mostly spoke to Joe, Joe is so awesome and easy going. You name what you want and they will work with you. If your looking for an outdoor wedding location this is the place. Thank you for all the help and letting me have my special day at The Secret Gardens Miami.

I meant to write this review right after our beautiful wedding, but found out we were expecting on our honeymoon and it’s been a whirlwind since! The Secret Garden provided such a beautiful backdrop and amazing experience for our special day! Our friends still comment on how beautiful and amazing our day was!

Thanks to the secret Gardens Family. My husband and I can’t be more grateful for such and amazing help. Joe and Blanca are the best❤️

This was one of the first venues my husband and I saw when we were deciding on a wedding date. After the tasting tour they offered at the venue, we knew we did not need to see any more. The venue is beyond beautiful! There are multiple locations to accommodate different interests and all of them are well maintained. The property is clean, offers a large selection of photo worthy areas, and all of the employees are sweet and kind. After meeting Joe and Blanca, they were both beyond helpful in helping us with potential vendors, answered every single one of our questions with a smile, and we’re accommodating. My wedding day was beyond amazing! Aside from all the compliments on how beautiful the location was, all guests that interest with any venue employees had nothing but great things to say. I definitely recommend this venue to brides or anyone wanting an outside event!

Let me start off by saying that if I could give The Secret Gardens more stars I absolutely would! The venue is absolutely breathtaking. From the moment you walk in, it feels like you have been transported to a different dimension. It really is an oasis. As great as the place is, what really makes it stand out is the owners. Joe and Blanca are so patient and accommodating, not only do they keep the place impeccable, they also recommended me a great team of vendors to work with so that our event went as we had planned it. Due to the current situation, our event had to be pushed back, and they worked with me to reschedule and rearrange everything. They are very professional and understanding, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our event while keeping safety guidelines. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for making our event a dream come true!!!

Secret Gardens lives up to its name in the best way possible-- stepping foot onto the venue, you feel like you're in a private oasis. It feels luxurious and refined, but with a tropical Miami flair. Beautifully manicured foliage, waterfalls, coral walking bridges...there are so many little coves and walkways that wedding guests can enjoy (especially during cocktail hour). What the photos *don't* show you is how incredible the team is at Secret Gardens. From our first visit, Joe and Blanca have made us feel like family. They're seasoned pros, transparent and reasonable with their pricing, and very responsive to any questions. During this COVID-19 crisis, we unfortunately had to reschedule our wedding. Without question, Joe and Blanca offered flexible date changes and were so patient with my incessant calls (lol). After extensive research online and in-person, choosing Secret Gardens Miami was a no-brainer. We're so happy with our decision!!

From the moment we walking into this venue we fell in love! The location is absolutely STUNNING with its many rock waterfalls, koi ponds, outstanding ceremony deck, and natural beauty all around! We knew instantly this was where we wanted to get married! This venue choice was solidified the moment we met and spoke with Blanca. She is one of the kindest, most genuine people we have ever met! In just a short while she made you feel like you were her own daughter and that she genuinely cared for your well being and happiness. Her husband Joe was also a pleasure to work with! They both were so fantastic, attentive, friendly and accommodating to us for every special request that we had! We rented the honeymoon villa the night before and had our rehearsal dinner on property! It was truly a delight & our guests were blown away! The decor and lights around the whole property as well as the elegant tent accompanied with chandeliers gave such a magical, whimsical and romantic ambiance to our wedding night! There are so many cute little hidden places all over the venue to admire and take photos! This venue is truly perfection as is the customer service that is given to you. I would also recommend their preferred vendors as they are all so incredible and did not disappoint! We are so happy we chose The Secret Gardens of Miami and so grateful for everything that Blanca & Joe did you help make our day so special and unforgettable! Thank you Joe & Blanca!!! 💗

Loved the venue and all the features that it came with. They suggested the best vendors and helped me find the best deals for my budget. The garden looked green and lush which made for great pictures, everyone thought we were in a tropical destination! I would definitely recommend it to another couple.

When we got engaged in July 2018, we knew we needed to book a venue quickly in order to fit our Winter 2019 timeline. Living in Miami, it's hard to find a venue with gorgeous outdoor space on a budget, so we extended our search a little further south to Homestead. We had two venue visits lined up on a Saturday morning, first the Secret Garden and then another venue in Miami Beach. The Gardens blew us away, so much that we booked them the same day. We knew as soon as we walked in to the second venue visit that we wanted to have our wedding at the Secret Gardens of Miami, and the owners, Joe and Blanca Doyle have been amazing to work with over the past year and a half. They are great help for organization, vendor recommendations, and general wedding planning. For every visit, there is also a tasting organized with some of their recommended caterers (which is how we got ours!) and the fact that the venue and vendors already know each other cuts out a big portion of the planning. You are not required to stick to any kind of vendor list, but honestly, their recommendations are fantastic and we didn't even bother looking elsewhere. The Gardens offer a beautiful space for a ceremony, complete with a stone arch and waterfall in the background, places to get ready for the bride and groom separately, a gorgeous space to host the cocktail hour, and the most incredible space for a reception. We opted to spend a little extra money in order to use the transparent marquis tent outfitted with drapes, lights and crystal chandeliers over a hard dance floor. You can skip this though and do an alfresco dinner on the gorgeous lawn if you prefer. Having the tent worked out for us because it rained a little, and it was such a pretty background in photos. We also barely had to do any decorating because the venue is already lit and the Gardens are so beautiful that they needed nothing else! We loved that our guests could wander around the Gardens freely, feeding the giant koi in the four ponds and exploring the cute little nooks dispersed throughout the property. We didn't have to leave to get amazing wedding pictures because there is so much variety to choose from for amazing and unique backgrounds. If you're looking for an outdoor, romantic, tropical space with the freedom to make your wedding exactly what you want it, don't look any further. I would choose Secret Gardens of Miami over and over again and Joe and Blanca were phenomenal to work with.

Just had my wedding at Secret Gardens it was everything I hoped for and more! Even though they don’t offer all inclusive packages Joe and Blanca recommended great vendors that they have worked with many times and everything seemed easy extremely smooth. I didn’t have a wedding planner so I dealt with it then directly and planned everything in about 4 months! They were extremely helpful and flexible! Joe was always available for questions and suggestions! Couldn’t think of a better venue!

First off, Blanca and Joe are incredible. They really know how to make you feel special. They have a great team working for them. The venue is stunning, all of our guests were mesmerized with the location and everything about it. Compared to other venues we looked at, the Secret Gardens is truly affordable and my husband and I think it was worth every single cent. We loved the flexibility to have our cocktail hour and reception anywhere around the venue. There’s not really a “set place” for anything and that is truly unique. The only feedback is we wished the man cave was a little more updated. However, the bridal suite was under construction so maybe that is all coming soon! I was blessed with the opportunity to get ready in the beautiful cottage on their sister property. It was just stunning and so spacious for a bride, bridesmaids, and a whole team of make up artists to set up. Again, I’m very grateful Blanca and Joe accommodated me in that way. Thank you!

The place is beautiful. I know two couples who had their wedding there and they had amazing things to say of the place. The day we went to have a tour was the day we booked and luckily we got the date we really wanted. For the wedding rehearsal my bridal party, coordinator, DJ, fiance and I went to review how we'd be walking and the set up. We went to the area close to the tend to review how the setup of the reception are would be. I was taken aback by the way we were received, we were told we could not be near the tent (we had not rented it anyways) because there was a private party happening. We weren't recognized by the person who was in charge, they only spoke to the coordinator. I just thought it was rude. My husband mentioned that the "man cave" is a trailer that isn't all the great for the groom. I know there's been recent upgrades, I don't know if that also applies to the man cave. Other than that the day of the wedding, all went smooth, very well. The guests were astonished at the place's beauty. The weather was magnificent that day, we're happy choosing the Secret Garden as our wedding venue.

My husband & I got married at Secret Gardens Miami back in March of this year. Our wedding was everything we could have imagined and more. Our guests still talk about the wedding and how impressed they were with the elegance of the garden. The garden was not only beautiful but was equipped with everything we needed. From beginning to end Mr. & Mrs. Doyle treated us with the upmost respect and not as customers but as family. They tended to our every need if possible and even supplied us with vendors (Our caterer Events by Molina). Of all the venues I researched and visited during my planning process I would highly recommend Secret Gardens Miami. My husband and I felt like royalty and if we could go back in time we wouldn't change a thing.
