From the reviews
We just had our wedding on May 8th at the Secret Garden and everything went great! Roland is very easy to work with and was prompt to assist us with anything we needed on our wedding day. I received several compliments from our guests on how beautiful everything was!
I’ll update my photos when I get them from my photographer, but my hubbin and I just got married on Tue, Sep 21st (2021) and we could not have had a more dreamy wedding. I was going for a fall forest vibe and the secret garden met that and more. We got the Day of Coordinator package and it was so worth it.
Simply amazing! Roland, the staff the venue! All ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I celebrated my 30th anniversary under the stars and the lights and my dream of a garden party like this was no less than perfect. Dee”s events made my moment special - she saw my vision and articulated it beautifully ! Not enough words can fill thus post!
My new bride and I got married here on October 5th, 2019. I could not have been happier with how everything turned out. This place is beautiful in the fall. The clear lights strung throughout the trees create a wonderful ambiance.
Getting married at The Secret Garden at Roland's
The Secret Garden at Roland's comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
