Kurt and I had our wedding at The Secret Garden on 1 September 2024. From our very first visit to the big day, everything was absolutely perfect. Every single member of the team is so responsive, friendly and reassuring. It just made the whole thing ten times easier to plan, and we could relax completely on the day, knowing everything would run like clockwork - which it did! We never felt like just another wedding couple to them, though. They were so thoughtful and welcoming, and they completely got what we were after. The food was genuinely fantastic. We wanted a really relaxed feel so we went for the BBQ followed by the picnic-y platter in the evening. Everybody told us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. And it was so nice that guests didn't have to pick between the options - there was plenty for everyone! We really can't thank the team enough. We were completely delighted and had the most wonderful day - in huge part down to them.

If you're considering The Secret Garden as a wedding venue, don't hesitate for a second!! We viewed the venue on a chilly but sunny day in February and despite very few flowers being in bloom and the trees being bare, the beauty of the place was breathtaking. From the moment we booked up until the wedding day last month, we felt so well looked after by Amy, Alisha and the team. The information pack is so thorough and included all the information that we needed to send out with our invites, the pricing is really clear with no hidden costs, and the sample menus gave us a really good idea of what to expect. The choice of food and drinks were amazing and we've had so many compliments from our guests about the meal. Communication with the team was really easy and every question we had was answered quickly. I didn't have any worries leading up to the day because the team gave us total confidence that everything was in hand. On the day itself, we were guided through each stage when needed but left to enjoy our time together and with our guests at all other times. The team dealt with every detail from moving our flowers from the ceremony to the table centres, ensuring the music was set up where we'd asked for it, welcoming the band when they arrived and preparing the coach house for the cake cutting and first dance, (and so, so much more)! We didn't have to think of a thing! We are so grateful to the whole team at The Secret Garden and especially Amy who looked after us on the day. We wish we could do it all over again!

The Secret Garden truly is such a gem of a wedding venue, and one of my absolute favourites in Kent! As a wedding photographer myself having an exclusive stunning garden space to shoot is such a big win, especially with it changing so much in every season, with so many different spots to explore and photograph. With that outdoor space for guests and couples to relax in the sun, the fantastic team who'll do anything for their couples, and the epic food. It's one amazing location for weddings that I'd highly recommend!

Where do I start? From the open day, we knew the Secret Garden was the perfect place for us—a beautiful English gem. From start to finish, the staff at Secret Garden were exceptional, with a special shout-out to Alisha, who was with us every step of the way. The venue is perfect, and they ensured everything ran smoothly on the day. We received wonderful feedback from friends and family, especially about the food—it was amazing! Everyone left feeling full, with many saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had. We couldn't have done it without the incredible team. If you're planning a wedding, I 100% recommend visiting the Secret Garden.

Wow... where to begin. The Secret Garden is THE dream wedding venue!!! The entire process, from the first visit to the day itself, could not have been a better experience. To Amy and Mas especially, thank you so much! You were absolutely incredible and could not have done more to ensure that we had the most special day imaginable. The food is something all of our guests still talk about to this day, particularly our gluten free guests who the venue went out of their way to cater for. From dropping things off the day before, to picking everything up that The Secret Garden team had gathered together the next morning, we couldn't have dreamt of a better venue. David & Meg ❤️
