The Secret Gardens by the Bay
Nestled among 11 acres of ancient oaks, and blooming gardens along California’s coast, The Secret Gardens by the Bay is a hidden nature retreat where romance, wonder, and unforgettable celebrations come to life. Inspired by the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland, our one-of-a-kind property offers a collection of enchanting outdoor wedding venues, each with its own atmosphere, natural beauty, and sense of magic.
From intimate garden ceremonies surrounded by lush florals and filtered sunlight to elevated oak-canopy decks with sweeping valley views and terraces overlooking the Pacific Ocean, our diverse settings offer a beautiful backdrop for couples dreaming of a celebration that feels personal, meaningful, and deeply connected to nature.
For larger weddings, our Main Stage setting provides a welcoming outdoor gathering space featuring a spacious stage, an open-air kitchen, inviting fire pits, and a central area for dining, entertainment, and celebrating beneath the trees. Couples who reserve the entire central area can create a more immersive, multi-day wedding experience, with cabin rentals available for an extended celebration where loved ones can gather, stay, and make memories together.
For couples seeking another distinctive group experience, our Queen’s Garden combines blooming rose and lavender gardens, a dramatic suspended deck, a spacious open-air dome, and private group camping in a breathtaking forest setting. This versatile space is ideal for weddings, celebrations, and gatherings that bring people together in the beauty of nature.
Beyond the ceremony, The Secret Gardens invites couples and their guests to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the experience of being together. With unique accommodations, cozy cabins, group camping areas, communal gathering spaces, fire pits, and thoughtfully designed amenities, the property offers opportunities to transform a wedding day into a memorable getaway. Couples can also explore private dining experiences, personalized ceremony enhancements, and outdoor activities, all surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the gardens.
Located just a mile from Seascape Beach and within walking distance of Seascape Village, The Secret Gardens brings together the feeling of a secluded woodland escape with the convenience of nearby coastal charm.
More than a wedding venue, The Secret Gardens is a place to gather, celebrate, and begin a new chapter in a setting that feels like discovering a secret world of your own. Whether you envision an intimate elopement, a romantic garden ceremony, or a multi-day wedding filled with dining, music, and time together beneath the trees, we invite you to create a celebration as unique as your love story. Here, every gathering becomes part of the magic, and the most beautiful memories are the ones you create together.
