| - We got married on 3-10-17 and it was the best day of our lives! It was the wedding of our dreams and our guests loved everything about it. I never thought I would give less than 5 stars to Secret Garden, but I will explain why. The food, bartender, staff, cake, DJ, and photographers were amazing and on point! The only down fall to anything that day were moments that our day of coordinator, Maggie, had. Ok first off, when we had our walk through of the venue it was perfect! Maggie was the one who actually sold the place to us and she had me in tears! She was amazing and we wanted her on the day of our wedding. She was honestly lovely up until the actual day of the wedding. I showed up and went to my bridal suite with my girls. I had no idea where Maggie was and assumed she was in her office working, which was fine with me. About 30-45 minutes later, as I'm getting my makeup done, Maggie comes into the bridal suite, no hello or anything, and starts lecturing my make-up artist about getting the makeup off of the new chairs. She clearly seemed stressed and immediately made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I brushed it off. My mom comes back from me sending her to check on a few things and comments on how Maggie seems stressed out. That's great. I find out later that she interrupted my mother-in-law while she was helping the guys put on their boutonnieres, and told her she was doing it wrong. What?! Then, she comes up to the bridal suite and rushes my bridesmaids to get downstairs and lined up. I asked if she could have the groom start walking down the aisle while the girls lined up because they were in white and it was a surprise for my husband to see them in white, because my dress wasn't white. She sternly looked at me and said, "It's too late for that.". I honestly couldn't believe it. She apologized and said, "We didn't rehearse that so sorry.". I don't understand what was so hard about making a tiny adjustment last minute and I'm sorry that I clearly had so much on my mind that I didn't mention that at the rehearsal. In the midst of all of this happening, being rushed, I forgot to put my veil on. Then, while she was helping take gifts out to be loaded, she was rude to my maid of honor and she started taking cards out of gift bags! So we had to go on our registry and ask many people what they got us, so for when we did our thank you cards. Kind of embarrassing and more work for us. The staff started cleaning up way too early. We paid to have the venue until 11pm and they started cleaning up around 10pm. We did not expect that to happen. Overall the venue was phenomenal and besides Maggie and the staff cleaning up early, everything was perfect and this post would've gotten 5 stars. The previous manager, Alexis, and the new manager, Monica; whom both assisted in the planning process, were amazing!! Beautiful venue and everyone couldn't stop talking about how lovely the wedding was. Maybe Maggie was having a bad day, it happens, but it was unfortunate that it had to happen on our wedding day. -The Murdicks
