| - When my husband and I were first looking for a wedding venue, we knew Secret Garden was going to be the perfect location for our special day. We met with the coordinator, Erin, and it was clear that she was going to make the entire process easy and stress-free while still helping us customize every aspect of the wedding. We walked out of our first meeting and didn't even make it to the parking lot before turning around to put down a deposit. This location really is PERFECT.
1) Secret Garden is exactly 4 minutes away from the Silverton Hotel & Casino. We were told who to contact to make room blocks for our guests, and there is a shuttle that will go to and from the wedding venue. We had our wedding rehearsal the afternoon before the wedding, and we just went straight to the Silverton for our rehearsal lunch at the Seasons Buffet. The convenience of Secret Garden being so close to a hotel really made things easy. On the day of the wedding, we were able to get food at Cracker Barrel and get ready in one of the hotel suites, and it was relaxing knowing that the venue was literally right around the corner from us.
2) Erin and Lexie (our coordinators at the venue) made the process easy from start to finish. Erin is super high energy, positive, and fun to be around. Lexie is incredibly organized and accommodating, and they were both able to answer every single one of our questions. They had suggestions for us that really helped make our wedding day unique. For example, I wanted the four important men in my life to all walk me down the aisle without it looking messy. Erin and Lexie were able to sketch out a plan to have my grandfathers walk me half way, then my twin and father would stand up and come escort me the rest of the way. Our families thought that this was a beautiful moment during the ceremony. We appreciated that Lexie took time to meet with us multiple times to make sure every aspect of our wedding day was
3) The Secret Garden packages include EVERYTHING. This is a one stop shop for all of your wedding needs. You don't need to worry about bringing your own decorations (unless you want to - they will set up any custom items you bring), food, dessert, floral, minister, DJ, videography, etc. etc. For the price, there isn't a better venue in Vegas. Regarding decorations, they literally have a storage room FILLED with every possible combination of colors, themes, styles. We told Lexie that we wanted a rustic wedding. She showed us wood slices, lace, burlap, rustic wine bottles, lanterns, frames, books, wood slice table numbers, mason jars, paper flowers, etc. She set up multiple combinations for centerpieces, and we were able to have every table look unique.
4) The officiant, Mike, that Secret Garden works with made our ceremony unique and heartwarming. He personalized it to reflect our story, and all of our family and friends commented on how beautiful it was.
5) The Twilight package is 100% worth it if you want an outdoor reception. Our friends and family loved dancing and celebrating under the twinkle lights in all of the trees. The setup and decorations looked even more beautiful outside.
6) The food, cake, and beverages were delicious! Our package included a buffet, cake (4 layers - each layer was a different flavor), and open wine/beer bar. We also paid a bit extra for a pie bar and signature drink. Our signature drink was a rum/banana liqueur drink served at one of their open houses or food tasting events. Our guests LOVED it! Kelly used our Pinterest ideas to create a beautiful wedding cake with flowers all over. If you are able to, attend one of the Secret Garden's food tasting events. You will be able to try many of the menu items available for your reception. We went with chicken bruschetta and swai with mango salsa, and our guests really enjoyed it. Our package also included delicious appetizers and side dishes.
7) We loved the Secret Garden's DJ, Anthony Dollar! He played all of the requested songs for the ceremony from our DJ packet, and he made the reception super fun for our guests. He constructed an awesome playlist from some of our suggestions, and our guests had a lot of fun making their own dance requests during the reception.
8) The included floral + the extra floral we purchased were stunning! My bouquet was absolutely perfect with tulips, peonies, roses, baby's breath, etc. They were so fresh, colorful, and I noticed that some petals even had some sparkles/glitter! We paid for extra floral on our altar and on the centerpieces of all of the tables, and we were so happy with the results. We also had flower petals sprinkled down the aisle.
Our rehearsal and wedding day ran smoothly and everything exceeded our expectations. It was extremely stress-free, and we have had nothing but positive feedback from our guests. Many of our guests even told us that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. It was picture perfect and exactly what we wanted.
