The Secret Garden was home to a beautiful wedding reception full of memories we will cherish forever. Our ceremony was held at a church in Chandler but we wanted a venue location for the reception that would have easy access to the airport and hotels as most of our guests were traveling. Our guests stayed at the Arizona Grand Resort and it worked out very well having a private shuttle run between the two places (the service at the AZ Grand was truly five star and there is a discount code for booking with the Secret Garden- highly recommend). The staff at the Secret Garden, particularly Stepheny was amazing. I work very random hours in the ER (in Michigan, with a three hour time difference) and she promptly replied via phone, text and email on nights and weekends. She worked seamlessly with an outside wedding planner we hired and truly seems to love what she does. The venue itself sells the packages for a reason, they deliver them well. There was some opportunity for improved flexibility on certain things outside of those packages, though in the end they truly delivered. The best example of this was the menu tasting, we recommend contacting them early and requesting the entrees/hors d'oeuvres you are interested in tasting (otherwise it is a general menu they prepare). The venue itself is a beautiful setting. We used the large lawn for our cocktail hour complete with a quartet in the gazebo, the wedding burro, lawn games and two bars. Our dinner under the stars was timed perfectly for a sunset seating, complete with a duet plated service delivered beautifully by Chef Doug with creative hands cuisine (those mashed potatoes though!) and live jazz music. Electricity in the garden area has historically been a bit difficult, but Stepheny worked in coordination with our DJ (Greg, Gold Ring Entertainment) and our Jazz Band to make sure enough power was available. Dinner was truly magical. I remember taking a moment with my husband during dinner and looking out at all of the candlelit tables full of our favorite people and thinking how blessed we are. Inspired sugar delivered a beautiful and equally delicious cake to serve as our third course and then we moved inside for dancing! I don’t think we left the dance floor the rest of the night. At one point, I did briefly step out when the bustle on my dress broke. Stepheny was the first person by my side literally with a needle and thread offering to stitch it back together. The service throughout the entire night was genuine, kind and excellent. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special. Photography by Tasha Brady
