The Secret Garden
A private garden wedding venue tucked away in the Vale of Glamorgan
A wedding weekend, not just a wedding day
Slow down and enjoy the whole weekend
At The Secret Garden, weddings are never rushed.
With exclusive use of the venue from Friday to Sunday, you have time to settle in, decorate the marquee, welcome guests and properly enjoy the celebration without constantly watching the clock.
Spend the evening dancing under the stars, wake up surrounded by countryside views and enjoy a slower, more relaxed wedding experience with the people closest to you.
It’s a wedding weekend designed to feel personal, meaningful and completely your own.

Marquee Weddings, Made Personal
A flexible wedding venue you can truly make your own
No two weddings at The Secret Garden ever look the same — and that’s exactly how we like it.
Our marquee wedding venue gives couples the freedom to create a day that reflects their personalities, style and guest experience.
Whether you’re planning a relaxed countryside gathering, elegant floral styling, a rustic celebration or something unique, the venue gives you the flexibility to shape the atmosphere your way.
You’re free to choose your marquee style, catering and suppliers, while Rosie and Simon are always on hand with friendly support and practical guidance throughout the planning process.

Everything together in one beautiful setting
From outdoor ceremonies in the garden to marquee receptions and cosy on-site accommodation, The Secret Garden brings your whole wedding weekend together in one place.
Hold your ceremony surrounded by greenery, enjoy drinks and photographs in the gardens, celebrate in the marquee and then stay overnight with your closest friends and family in our countryside accommodation.
Keeping everything together creates a more relaxed, connected and enjoyable experience for everyone.
