After changing our initial plans to get married in Southern California, my husband and I were looking for a place that did not look like Las Vegas. After attending a bridal expo, I found The Secret Garden. After living in Las Vegas for over 10 years, I loved that it is not located on the strip, but in a quiet area in the South West of Las Vegas, which was also convenient to my father's home, where we were holding a BBQ the day after.
Meeting our coordinator, Erin, put my bride stress to ease. She simply told me to bring her pictures of what I wanted and she would make it happen. All of my phone calls and e-mails were answered in a timely manner with reassurance and professionalism.
The most important thing to me was the photography. I am a photography teacher and I prefer certain things. The photographs I received were exactly what I wanted. We have so many amazing photographs that it was difficult to decide which ones we wanted to hang in our home! Several friends and family express their jealousy of how amazing they look.
I still speak with Erin and her crew at Secret Garden when attending events at McKee Ranch. They treat me as if I am family.
To future brides:
I highly recommend arriving in the horse and carriage. It is worth the money and memories!
Use Pinterest or magazines to keep track of your ideas!
Trust The Secret Garden to make your day magical. I seriously had the most magical day of my life with no stress!
