The Secret Garden, Ashford

Where do we start.... from the initial viewing to the day after our wedding. It was an amazing experience. Alisha was so helpful, she made sure our day ran smoothly and no hiccups! Everything was beautiful and perfect. A day we will always remember. Thank you xxx

Had my wedding here last month and it was unforgettable. The staff were lovely and a special thanks to Amy for helping us plan it and going above and beyond to make our day special. Even though the weather didn’t go our way and we had to move the ceremony inside, the team did everything in their power to make it special and for that, we couldn’t be more grateful. Food was absolutely amazing, exactly what we asked for and a large selection of drinks at the bar too! We would 100% recommend this venue for your big day, you will have no regrets!

From the moment we stepped into The Secret Garden for our wedding, we were met with an atmosphere of pure enchantment and elegance. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our special day was flawless, demonstrating a level of helpfulness and attentiveness that was truly remarkable. They anticipated our every need, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. The venue itself was breathtakingly beautiful, presenting a perfect blend of natural beauty and sophisticated charm. Every corner of The Secret Garden was meticulously maintained, creating a magical backdrop for our ceremony and reception that our guests are still raving about. As for the food, it was nothing short of delicious. Each dish served was a testament to the venue's commitment to quality and excellence, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who had the pleasure of dining. The flavors were rich, the presentation was exquisite, and the overall dining experience was exceptional. Choosing The Secret Garden for our wedding venue was the best decision we could have made.

We are eternally grateful to the staff for their hard work and dedication, and we recommend The Secret Garden to any couple looking for a venue that offers beauty, elegance, and a team committed to making your wedding day as perfect as you’ve always imagined.

From our first visit to the Secret Garden, we fell in love with the place with Harry being so helpful and friendly from the beginning. Throughout the year of planing, Alisha & Amy were brilliant, calm, quick to respond, so flexible & friendly. We felt reassured throughout the process, nothing was too much trouble and we really felt they cared. Dropping off our decorations and personal items the morning before, they were amazing and even let us have coffee in the gardens. We walked away very confident and had absolute trust in the team to make everything look beautiful. When I arrived on the day, it was perfect. I could not fault a single thing. The gardens are totally beautiful, coach house stunning, delicious food & the team were amazing, brilliant service, calm & happy. Alisha & Amy and everyone else in the team – we cannot thank you enough. Our wedding was so special & memorable and I have no doubt it was because of everything you guys did.

Thankyou so much for the most amazing day! You kept everything running as smoothly as possible and kept everyone calm, happy and relaxed in the crazy September heatwave 🥵 You were so polite, respectful and attentive! We didn’t want for anything- even taking a selfie at the end of the night staff spotted and came straight over to offer assistance. The attention to detail went above and beyond anything we could have asked for! The venue was immaculately clean and well dressed and when we came to collect our things the next day so much care had been taken in packing our things back away. The food was lovely and such care was taken in the presentation and delivery of our afternoon tea and pizza- definitely cooked with love! You made our day so special, something that we will never forget and are very grateful for!

The first and only place we viewed, we fell in love with it straight away. It fits our personalities our vibe and the size of our wedding. We wanted an intimate feel although we had around 60pax for our day reception, they were all important people and they loved being there. The team is the most amazing! Very accommodating, very understanding, makes everything looks easy. Never made me feel like I’m asking for something silly or too big. Very responsive even though my queries were during summer peak season as our wedding was in November. And no fault at all for everyone working on our big day and evening. All the guests keep talking about how great they have all been. Food is perfect too, for day and evening.

If you haven’t booked The Secret Garden for your event yet what are you waiting for! The Venue = Just Perfect The Staff = Amazing, Helpful & the nicest people The Food = Truly delicious The day went so smoothly. It’s such a professional set up with the best touches! It was like friends running the show. All of our guests commented on how superb the day was and they especially loved the custom dessert set up they allowed us to create. The Secret Garden = The BEST

Such a good day. Super chilled, like us, and we felt fully confident in their hands. Took control of the day, did everything we asked, and helped us out when caterers messed up. Can’t rate more highly.

We would just like to say thank you to everyone at the Secret Garden for making our wedding day so perfect yesterday 😍. Both myself, Matt and all of our guests had such an amazing time, with everyone complimenting how beautiful and special the venue is, how attentive and friendly all of the staff are, and how incredible all of the food was. We really could not have asked for a better day, The Secret Garden really is a special place and we will cherish the day forever.

We had so many lovely comments about our day and how perfectly it went, it was relaxed, fun and the food!! Wow!! It was phenomenal!! Everyone was raving about how incredible the food was! Every little detail was so well thought out, the placement of everything worked so well with the flow of the venue, just perfect! The gardens are beautiful, there are so many different areas all with their own little quirks, we had a badminton net set up and the kids loved running around there.
