Marquee weddings made personal

From garden ceremonies to dancing under the stars, The Secret Garden gives you the space, freedom and support to create a wedding that feels like you.

Say your vows surrounded by countryside views

The Secret Garden is licensed for civil ceremonies, giving couples the option to hold their entire wedding celebration in one beautiful setting.

Many couples choose to marry outdoors, surrounded by greenery, flowers and open skies, while indoor ceremony options provide reassurance, whatever the weather.

Whether you’re planning something intimate and relaxed or larger and more celebratory, the setting feels personal, warm and wonderfully private.

Relaxed drinks, photographs and garden moments

After the ceremony, guests can spill out into the gardens and patio areas for drinks, photographs and relaxed conversation.

The venue’s outdoor spaces create a calm, sociable atmosphere where everyone can properly slow down and enjoy the day.

From garden games and live music to sunset photographs and champagne on the lawn, the space naturally lends itself to relaxed countryside celebrations.

A Relaxed Flow for the Whole Day

A wedding day that unfolds naturally

One of the biggest advantages of a wedding weekend venue is having the time and space to properly enjoy every part of the celebration.

Start the morning slowly with your closest friends and family nearby, hold your ceremony in the gardens, enjoy relaxed drinks outside before heading into the marquee for dinner, speeches and dancing.

As the evening continues, guests can gather around the fire pit, enjoy the fairy lights and settle into the relaxed countryside atmosphere that makes The Secret Garden feel so special.
