I was about to move forward on just using a warehouse, but then we were recommended Secret Garden Ceremonies. The name instantly got my attention because of my favorite childhood book/movie. Let me tell you, the location lives up to its name.
We were thankful to have any opportunity to get married amongst the 2020 chaos, but we also got to have the wedding of our dreams with our closest family and friends.
It’s the perfect location to do your photo/video package justice. I absolutely love our wedding photos. Really anywhere you go on the property is a photo op.
We only had to plan minimal decorations because each of the areas on the property are absolutely gorgeous and complete. I had a lot of help from family on cake, decorating, and flowers, but Tiffani was also ready with vendor recommendations.
We used the Redwood grove for our ceremony, the aisle was perfect and we got to bring in our own redwood arch. The love sing is adorable and provided a nice intimate moment for us to enjoy right after the ceremony.
Our dancing, cake cutting, and refreshments were had on the Grand Estate lawn. It was so much fun to dance in the middle of our family like we were at a Bridgerton garden party. The grand staircase was a perfect group photo spot.
Tiffani is truly a professional. She has amazing attention to detail. There were so many things I hadn’t even thought of that she brought up (and I’m an organized person!). She was flexible working with us during these hard times.
Any tips I had to give on making the day better, Tiffani has already addressed in her plans to improve. Including better parking, time to set up and take down, and a space for the groom to get ready. We had to mostly skip using our photographer for the getting ready photos due to COVID. But! I was able to get dressed on site and have those photos with my mother and maid of honor.
One of my favorite memories is enjoying some time with their lovely German Shepard who got to come out and visit us. (I made a special request for that.)
Secret Garden Ceremonies is a magical space to have your wedding. Especially a small, Covid-safe one. And if you’re not looking to spend a ton on decorations, the space is already done for you! I’d like to add that Tiffani’s recommendation for having our reception at Ella’s at the Airport was fantastic. They set up a private area for us with our own music and the food was phenomenal! Highly recommend!
