If anyone is looking at having their wedding at a Wedgewood property, my husband and I would highly recommend it. 100/10 would recommend the Secret Garden location as the team we worked with was fabulous from start to finish. Beginning with just our tour of the venue, we had Huntyr who was so sweet and so helpful. She showed us the flow of things and helped us to envision ourselves getting married there. We knew the day we did the tour, that was our venue. From there, they helped us with planning the entire thing... We received a booklet that guided us through all our steps, when to meet with vendors, etc. Their recommended vendors // the vendors that were included in the Elite package were so excellent to work with!! (Janice at Blooming Bouquets and the team over at Piece of Cake -- wonderful!!). A few months out from the wedding, we were scheduled to have a big dinner / tasting with other couples getting married at the venue so it was fun chatting with the people around us all planning their weddings for around the same time ours would be happening. We got to see the setting / atmosphere of what the Hors-d'œuvres, cocktail hour, and dinner foods would be like.... It made it very easy for us to select all foods for the day of, as well as meet other vendors (hair/makeup, DJ, videographers, photographers, etc.). Wedgewood made planning the wedding a simplified task. We had our rehearsal the day before the wedding where our wedding coordinator had everything down (blessed to have Huntyr for our day! was a wish come true). She had everything down - showed everyone what they should be doing and where. I had a checklist prepared of points I wanted to cover and didn't even have to pull it out because our coordinator had hit every bullet I had noted without me even telling her a single bullet I had down. The day of the wedding was perfect ... the team over at Wedgewood had our suites organized and had champagne prepared for the ladies and beers for the boys in their suite too. Our coordinator alongside her support team ensured everything was set up for us and that we could just relax and enjoy the day / getting ready / and celebrating in general with our favorite people...... I woke up the morning of and told myself that if anything were to go wrong, that it was out of my control and to let it go..... but I literally cannot even explain how PERFECT our day was. Everything stayed on schedule, decor was set up beautifully, and the Wedgewood staff were there to assist with ANY needs along the way. The food was delicious, the staff for the event was so friendly and eager to help / ensure our day was magical. Overall, from start to finish, the team there made things easy, fun, and ensured our day was the BEST DAY EVER. Again - for anyone getting married, I would encourage you to look at Wedgewood properties, although their property, Secret Garden, forever holds that special place in my heart and would be my overall pick!

The Secret Garden by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was organized, proactive, and extremely clear - they made the planning process so easy and stress-free. On the day of, their incredible day-of coordinator and staff took amazing care of my husband and I, ensuring we didn't have to worry about a single thing. The quality of their work and the overall value was extremely worth the price. I cannot recommend this venue enough, and if I could get married all over again, I would not change a single thing about our experience with the Secret Garden team.
Simply the best

Secret Garden is an incredible venue that speaks for itself, but the team behind it is even better. Everyone is so kind and truly loves what they do. They make wedding planning feel easy, stress free, and you still get to have the wedding of your Pinterest dreams. The food and services are top of the line. All of our guests raved over the venue, food, drinks, and service. Sydney and Karen are the most kind hearted people and focused on us and making our day feel special, all while keeping the entire event flowing seamlessly. If we had to go through the process again, we would choose Secret Garden in a heartbeat.

My husband Richard and I held our wedding ceremony and reception at Secret Garden by Wedgewood Weddings, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. The venue was absolutely gorgeous with lush gardens, fountains, and twinkling lights that made for a magical backdrop. From our first meeting with the events team, they were attentive, accommodating, and compassionate, making sure every detail was taken care of so Richard and I could relax and enjoy our special day. Their communication was timely and thoughtful every step of the way. The space itself was incredibly spacious and offered a wide variety of beautiful photo backdrops. Our guests raved about the delicious meal and attentive staff. I would wholeheartedly recommend Secret Garden to any couple looking for a venue that will help create lifelong memories.
