Chanan Sent on 19/11/2025The Perfect Day
From the moment we had a look around The Secret Garden, we fell in love. In fact, The Secret Garden was the one and only venue we looked at. We knew it had everything we needed, and Alisha and Amy were both very welcoming from the very beginning.
The regular meetings we had beforehand were all worthwhile and allowed us to bottom out the finer details, especially as we only had c.4 months to plan it all! Even if we needed questions answering at short notice, Alisha (our co-ordinator) was always quick to respond and gave us the answers we needed.
The day itself was perfect. It was Easter Saturday and we couldn't have asked for a better day, even the weather was on our side.. I'm sure Alisha had a hand in that somehow! Mas, who was front of house - and everything else on the day - was brilliant. Alisha and Mas made sure the day ran smoothly, and we didn't need to prompt them to do anything at all. It made the day feel very relaxed and calm as they had everything under control. They are a well-oiled machine at The Secret Garden!
The food was also amazing. We went for canapes after the ceremony and pizza at the end of the night. Both were great choices and everything was cooked and presented perfectly. There are also plenty of choices for vegetarians, vegans etc.
We had lots of children at our wedding and, again, the games/toys/sweets on offer to keep them entertained was exactly what we needed to keep plenty of children occupied all day! Top tip - hire a bouncy castle too, definitely tires the children out!
We couldn't have picked a better venue and team to help prepare and host our wedding. I would genuinely (and have done already) recommend The Secret Garden to anyone wanting to get married. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you again Alisha, Amy and Mas for making our day so perfect.The Secret Garden's reply:
Dear Chanan & Chloe,
We can't thank you enough for choosing us to host your wedding day. It was an unforgettable day, and a true pleasure to get to know you and your family through the planning process. We wish we could do it all over again.
We really hope you all come back and see us one day for future events or a stroll around the gardens!
Thank you for sharing this lovely review and beautiful photos, it means so much to us.
Congratulations again, Alisha, Amy, Mas & the whole team xxx

Olivia Sent on 19/11/2025Thank you for hosting the best day of my life!
We had our beautiful winter wedding yesterday and I’m on cloud nine!
We booked our wedding with only 10 months notice due to a family illness. Secret Garden were so gentle and kind when it came to drop outs and adding extras, were patient with me and my million requests, and on the day they couldn’t have been more attentive to details. I DIY’d all my decorations and the team set up the venue to the most amazing standard. What a day and what a Team!The Secret Garden's reply:
Olivia, thank you so much for your lovely words! Yesterday was such a special day and we are so happy we got to be part of your journey. You two and your love story are certainly worth celebrating, and we are so pleased you enjoyed your day with us. We can't wait to see the photos, and we hope to welcome you back one day -

Danielle Sent on 21/08/2025So lovely!
We went for an intimate wedding with a total of 14 guests including ourselves as the Bride and Groom. The atmosphere was perfect: calm, relaxed, beautiful. The ladies that work behind the scenes to ensure your day goes exactly as planned are just so lovely and helpful. Amy and Alisha are just so personable and clearly know what they're doing! We left instructions on how to set up our decorations, and they were able to set it all up on the most beautiful way.
The gardens were perfectly manicured, and we had free rein over the venue for our photo shoots. They also provide lovely little garden games which was a hit with our 6 year old son as well as the older guests.
We opted for an afternoon tea rather than a traditional wedding breakfast. The chef and porter staff were amazing- everyone commented on how the food was so delicious. We were all so happy we could also take left over food home in little food boxes.
The Secret Garden staff are so professional, taking the stress out of the day and made sure everything ran smoothly. We cannot thank you all enough for making our day just so perfect! Thank you!!The Secret Garden's reply:
Hi Dani,

It was the greatest pleasure to be a part of yours and Lee's special day and we can't thank you enough for choosing us as your venue and also for trusting us the whole way through.
We will make sure the rest of the team hear your amazing and kind words.
We are so pleased we were able to give you exactly the day you wanted and deserved.
We wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
Love from,

Rhian Sent on 22/11/2024Hold your wedding here and have the best day!
We got married at The Secret Garden yesterday and it was flawlessly executed by the staff there. There was always someone on hand to help with any and all questions before the wedding and even allowed me to remove 3 guests, add 4 more and completely change the seating chart 3 days before the wedding with zero complaint and even a positive tone. Yesterday was one of the best experiences of my life, all of the staff there were so friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to host any event especially a wedding! I will 100000% be returning every pudding night just to relive the moments with my new husbandThe Secret Garden's reply:
Rhian, it was an absolute honour to be a part for yours and Connor's special day.
Thank you so much for trusting us throughout the planning process and for choosing us as your venue. I will pass on your amazing compliments to the rest of the team.
We would absolutely love to welcome you back to the venue any time. Please send your photos over once you receieve them as well as we would love to take a look.
We wish you all the happiness in your married life together and you know where we are if you ever need anything in the future.
Love from,
Amy & Alisha -

Clare Sent on 14/11/2024Incredible venue
The Secret Gardens were the only venue we looked at for our intimate wedding and it was simply perfection.
We were in control the whole time for the wedding planning process, kept in contact with Amy and Alisha regarding any questions, allergy updates for guests and the organising, they were amazing.
For the wedding day, we had a certain idea for the layout and they exceeded expectations. We got married in the glasshouse and took my breath away when I walked in.
Every guest said how they felt well cared for throughout the day by the girls and bar team.
My husband and myself felt we didn't miss out on any food, drinks or experiences.
It was a truly perfect day and would highly recommend the secret gardens!
Thank you so much !The Secret Garden's reply:
Dear Clare & Douglas,
Thank you so much for your kind words, your wedding day was really so special! It was such a pleasure to get to know you both and see your beautiful decorations all come together on the day.
Love these photos, so stunning!
We wish you both a long and happy marriage, huge congrats from us all -

Amy S. Sent on 05/08/2024The best venue ever
From the moment we enquired with The Secret Garden, it was clear that their number one priority was that our wedding was exactly as we wanted. They couldn't have been more flexible, helpful and attentive. The day ran SO smoothly, we didn't have to worry about a thing, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day ever. Amy is an absolute legend!! The venue is absolutely stunning and our guests all commented on how beautiful the day was, and how chilled the vibe was.
The food was unbelievably good, they cater for allergies and preference with ease, and the portions are huge! We also asked for multiple drinks and food off menu which was no trouble at all.
Choose The Secret Garden for your wedding!!The Secret Garden's reply:
Dear Amy,
Thank you so much for this lovely message, it is so lovely to hear that you had the best day ever! It was such a pleasure to be involved in your special day and we wish you a long and happy marriage together!
Lots of love, Alisha, Amy & the whole team xx -

Sheri Sent on 29/07/2024Amazing intimate wedding
We had an intimate wedding of 15 people in total in June 2024. The staff were wonderful and responsive - the decor was set up beautifully, the drinks and meals were so delicious and catered seamlessly. They helped arrange a flower arch for us and for our cake cutting - I cannot recommend them enough.The Secret Garden's reply:
Thank you so much to you and Jon for choosing us and trusting us with your special day! It has been a pleasure to be a part of your journey. We wish you all the happiness for your future together!! -

The perfect wedding venue
From our first look around the secret garden we knew it was the wedding venue for us. All of the staff were so kind and welcoming.
The secret garden has the most beautiful grounds with the option of an inside or outside wedding. Both options are absolutely stunning.
Alisha our wedding coordinator couldn't have been more helpful in helping us planning our special day. She listened to everything that we wanted and made it all come to life with the help from the other staff.
Everything ran so smoothly on the day and everyone commented how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was for our wedding breakfast and reception.
We would highly recommend the secret garden to anyone looking for the most perfect wedding venue.The Secret Garden's reply:
Dear Lauren & Calvin,
Thank you so much for your kind words, it was so special to be a part of your planning process - from the first viewing you have both been a pleasure to work with.
It was such a beautiful day and I am so lucky to have been a part of it.
We wish you both a long and happy marriage, and look forward to welcoming you back for future events!
Lots of Love, Alisha & the team xx -
