The Secret Garden

Amazing. I've just come back from a two night stay here for my best friends wedding. What a venue! Absolute perfection, we maintained family run business. When I say family run I actually felt like I was part of their family. Rosie and Simon couldn't of done anymore for us... all of us, every last guest! They went way above and beyond their roles to ensure a smooth running of the day. The scenery, the gardens, the stables and of course the love shack are first class....

In our capacity as wedding caterers we have the pleasure of working at some lovely venues but the Secret Garden at Duffryn Mawr was a bit special and made all the better by the incredible team who make you feel part of the family. A superb wedding venue, we hope to work with you again! Rob & the Wood Fired Events team x

Dearest Rosie, Simon and Team Secret Garden! Where can I begin? From the day we stepped foot into your beautiful grounds we knew we'd found our venue. Throughout the planning stages your advice and experiences were valued and taken on board in order to accomplish our magical wedding day. Rosie, it has been a joy preparing with you and getting excited in the prior months to our wedding day. Your team worked tirelessly with boundless energy and a smile on their faces......

Rosie and Simon, thank you so much, for everything! Your home is a truly special place, and we are honoured that you'd allow us to host our reception there. Your chilled, relaxing, calm vibe really set the tone for the day. Our guests really enjoyed how relaxed the day was. The bar team handled the boys like pros, thank you (and sorry!) for that. The day would not have been the same without your coordination, planning, guidance and friendship. We'll always be grateful. All our love....

To Rosie & Simon, thank you so much for such a perfect wedding day! Whilst not quite as we orginally planned (! Covid), after such a tough year it was so nice to spend time with friends and family in such a beautiful venue! Your help and support in preparing for the wedding and on the weekend was really appreciated! Here's cheers to the Secret Garden! Wishing you all the best, Matt & Jonathan x

Hi Rosie, I hope you and Simon are well! I can't quite believe six weeks has passed since our wedding. A huuuuge thank you to yourself and Simon for everything you did to make our wedding the best day! It was absolutely perfect - even the weather turned out to be okay! Many thanks Lizzie and Stephen.

We cannot recommend The Secret Garden highly enough. The 'vibe' was just perfect for our day. With the onsite accommodation, it turned into a full weekend of celebrations. We got married on the lawn under gazebos, and the backdrop of the beautiful garden, including ducks, was just gorgeous. Rosie and Si could not do enough for us to help things run smoothly. The whole atmosphere was magical, fairy lights and little nooks within the garden. We had the perfect day and cannot the Rosie & Si enough.

My husband and I recently married a The Secret Garden and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. Throughout the year after booking, Rosie stayed in contact updating us on the venue, frequently allowing us to visit the venue to review ideas etc. The day went completely without issue and Rosie and Simon were always on hand for any questions and managed the bar with their wonderful team brilliantly, with may compliments from guests after. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.....

'We cannot rate this venue highly enough'! A simple phone call back in December led to the best day of our lives. Straight from the off Rosie was accommodating, even when we said we wanted to get married in six months! ..... Overall, is you're looking for a venue that is intimate, a bit different, something that you can really make your own, backed up by owners who really care about your big day then this is the venue for you. We really do appreciate everything you dig guys. Mr & Mrs Keen

Rosie and Simon did the bar for our wedding and did a superb job - couldn't recommend highly enough! They were really responsive and flexible to our requirements and provided an excellent service on the day - staff were all fab. The bar was one thing I definitely didn't need to worry about!
