The Secret Garden - Ashford

The minute we walked into the grounds of The Secret Garden we knew that this was the venue for us! The grounds are absolutely stunning and it has a relaxed English Country Garden vibe. Amy and Aisha were amazing, always on hand to answer all our questions, setting up our meetings as we got closer to the day, nothing is to much trouble and our day run perfectly thank you to all the fantastic staff there that made this possible! The choice of food options were absolutely perfect for us, having the 3 course sit down dinner during the day and coned fish chips in the evening. We attended both taster evenings... any excuse to try out as many food options as possible and this did make it hard for us to choose!! Our day was absolutely perfect, we couldn't have wanted a thing better my husband and I highly recommend this hidden little paradise

There is no way for me to adequately express here how tremendously wonderful this wedding venue is. I was consistently blown away by their friendliness, organization, and creativity. The food— fabulous, especially the desserts. The venue— gorgeous and perfect. The staff— warm, supportive, and hard working. I felt so confident that our wedding day was going to go so smoothly. The venue is just so beautiful and has everything you’d want for your wedding. We also particularly loved it because we had lots of children at our wedding and there was plenty of room for them to run around and have fun. I highly recommend the secret garden for your wedding. They’re amazing.

Most Amazing venue! Thankyou from start to finish, they have been amazing and so organised. All the meetings, check in's and everything leading up too the big day. On our wedding day, the team were just incredible, setting up a wonderful day, everything went smoothly and the team were so good at getting all our little touches. I had so many comments on how amazing the food was, we had afternoon tea and everyone was raving about the scotch eggs and sausage rolls and deserts! The pizza oven went down a treat as well. Honesty such an amazing venue, a day will be rememebered forever. Thankyou Alesya and Amy xxx

We were guests at a wedding yesterday and we thought the venue was beautiful and was perfect for the event. The bride groom had obviously added so many lovely personal touches to their day but the staff made such a great impression on us, as guests. They were so hard working, attentive to detail, quick to respond and generally made the day go so smoothly. The wedding breakfast was in fact a delightful afternoon tea, which was exquisitely served and tasted absolutely delicious. What a great venue with gorgeous facilities and an incredible staff team who clearly love to serve give their guests a fabulous time and a day to remember!

Got married here on a Saturday in May and the team here was the best venue we interacted with. Nothing was too much trouble for Alisha, Amy, Louisa and special shout out to Ellie who was delivering shots to the dance floor and started dancing with my cousins! The team made the day extremely smooth, the tables set up the day before in prep which meant we could see it the day before and make any changes if necessary. The mics and ceremony space was all in working order and all our guests said they could hear every word. We viewed so many venues and I had some specific requirements. My now Husband (how weird) was set on this place and I wasn't sure as we were only able to find time to view during winter but he was so right. They let us plate smash, have candles lit at dinner and use every single room for different activities (e.g. beer pong in the greenhouse). They had lots of different spaces which meant the day could be split up and feel like there was always something going on instead of waiting around. We had a set plated menu several guests said it was the best food they'd had at a wedding! The portion sizes were very generous and the service smooth. Mas made sure to save a tray of canapes for us while we were taking photos and at the end of the night Ellie made us a pizza to take back to our hotel room as we didn't have any. We wanted to ensure all the evening guests had enough but there was always more than enough so we didn't need to worry! We were able to leave things there that night and come collect it all the next morning. The team had collected it all and kept it aside for us. During the night we hit our limit for the open bar and they gave us fair warning when we were getting close to the limit. Only criticism was for the tastings, the menu was split into two different days and because we lived out of town it meant we would have had to stay over to try it all which was too difficult so we only tasted half the menu before choosing. Overall, it's a beautiful venue, staff always on hand so friendly. Highly recommend.
