      Intimate and romantic
      Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to the swiss garden venue. They were professional, helpful, organised and very polite. The setting was beautiful and you will get fabulous pictures at the swiss gardens. If you can imagine Peacocks running around your feet. All our guests were amazed at how beautiful the venue was. The cottage is small but that made the ceremony very intimate as everyone could see us easily. 5 stars isn't enough!!

      Our secret garden for the day.
      Nestling in the Bedfordshire village of Old Warden, hidden by tall trees and a large brick wall is the most beautiful setting where we decided to have our Wedding. A winding pathway takes you from the car park through ornate gardens to the "Swiss Cottage" where the ceremony takes place. Standing in eight to ten acres of beautiful gardens, where peacocks roam freely, lakes with ducks and other wildlife you will have the breathtaking scenery for you photographs. The staff are on hand throughout the entire time you are in the Park, which is usually for a minimum of two and a half hours. We chose to have our reception near to where we live, but you can have a marquee in the grounds. All in all in was a beautiful setting for a beautiful day. blakel28@netcomuk.co.uk
