A Secret Garden

Absolutely beautiful, even in freezing winter is was just gorgeous! Very excited to have our Purple Gala here in March! The owner was very helpful and an amazing artist! I will come back after our event to update review and add photos of this beautiful venue!

A Secret Garden gave us more than a wedding, it gave us a moment in time Some people help plan weddings. Others help create memories that live in your heart forever. Russ is the latter. From the very beginning, Russ saw us. Not just as clients, but as a couple with a story, a family, and a moment in time that mattered deeply. He added countless personal touches. Quiet, thoughtful details woven throughout the day, that made our wedding feel intimate, intentional, and unmistakably ours. What he created was not just beautiful… it was a fairytale. We were married on November 22nd, during a season that was both joyful and fragile. My father was very ill, and time felt precious. Russ, with compassion and grace, made sure my dad could be there, TRULY there, in the final weeks of his life. Shortly after our wedding, my father entered hospice and passed away on December 12th. Because of Russ, my dad witnessed one of the most important days of my life. That gift is beyond words. It is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. On our wedding day, everything unfolded effortlessly. I never felt rushed, stressed, or distracted. I was able to be present, fully present, because Russ was quietly holding everything together with care, calm, and heart. A Secret Garden is breathtaking, but Russ is its soul. He doesn’t just create weddings, he honors love, family, and moments that can never be repeated. What he gave us cannot be measured in timelines or details. He gave us a memory. He gave us peace. He gave us a miracle. And when I look back on that day, and on my father’s smile, I know that some angels don’t have wings. Sometimes, they simply open a garden gate. 😇💘💍

I’d give 10 stars if I could. This venue is GORGEOUS! Russ and his crew are the most dedicated people I’ve ever met. The amount of stress that I did NOT have to endure because of them saved me so much. The chance of rain completely threw me for a loop and they all kept me calm and worked their magic. I get so many compliments from guests that attended. Anything you need or want, they make happen. Can not thank them all enough and I’m forever grateful for each one of them.

I just got home from my nephew’s wedding. The experience for me and my family was magical. That’s the best word to use. All of the staff that I encountered was very friendly As soon as I got to the door, the greeter was very warm and welcoming She explained the process She also ushered me to the restroom before the event even began. She was also there at the end of the wedding to make sure that everyone got a souvenir from the bride and groom - just a very classy touch. This place is magical. I could only imagine what it looks like in the spring. I made sure to give the owner a really big hug and tell him what an awesome job he did. He was really friendly and he made all of us feel very welcome. The food tasted good as well. The music sounded very nice. And as far as decor - this man is the force to be reckoned with. He left no stone unturned. Thanks again, Russ for a wonderful experience 🥰

If you are a bride, look no further; you've found your venue! If I could give A Secret Garden a hundred stars, I would! My daughter wanted a wedding where she didn't have to make a million decisions and where no family members had to do any work! Everything was done for us, from the decorating to the clean up; we didn't have to do a thing but enjoy our day. And...oh, the decorations...the venue was absolutely gorgeous! Russ went above and beyond to make her day MAGICAL! I cannot begin to describe how beautiful A Secret Garden is and how talented Russ is! He didn't treat us like customers, he treated us like FAMILY! We not only gained a son-in-law in this process; we gained a friend who is the most fantastic wedding planner/florist/designer/gardener/photographer/builder/ALL AROUND FUN GUY I've ever met!
