From the reviews
An absolutely amazing venue...comfortable, relaxing, and quaint. Our daughter's wedding and reception were both done here. Mike is very helpful. The amenities are great as well. A gorgeous Brides Room, clean bathrooms, commercial kitchen and lots of antique decor. Loved it! The wedding was great!
The garden is so beautiful. Very excited to have my daughters wedding here!! The owners are very cool, answered all my daughters questions and concerns and have gone out of their way to make it happen. Reasonably priced compared to other venues in the area.
It was a great place with great service. Mike made sure the guys and I were comfortable from there start. I would recommend this place to any group looking for a private venue! The outdoor patio was wonderful.
My wife and daughters hosted my birthday party in this great new venue in Harbor Shores area this past weekend and the place is amazing! I wish Secret Garden the best with their new event venue!
Getting married at Secret Garden At The Harbor
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
