So Wonderfully Perfect!
We have wanted to send this through for some time, and with one thing and another, waiting for photos, work other boring things taking over, it has taken this long! A massive and sincere thank you from us both for making our wedding day so wonderfully perfect! :). It was a very special day for us both of course already, and made all the more special by all the staff at the Secret Garden taking such good care of us and all our guests. The tables, garden, music, decorations, flowers, games, ice cream, cake, food, drinks everything was amazing :) Everyone had a really great time, and there was not one thing we would have done differently. All the guys were attentive, considerate, and happy to make sure everything was perfect. I am gushing on I know, but hard to express enough. thank you again, and I am sure we will see you soon the next time we come for tea and lovely cakes! :) take care and all the best Rachael and Steve xx

To the Whole Secret Garden Team
I wanted to send a message to say the biggest thank you for helping us make our wedding day so special. I have not stopped smiling. I knew we had chosen the right place after viewing it the first time, we were put at ease straight away by Laura. The lead up was very hectic as was the morning on the day for me, but once arriving I knew it was all worth it. The food was amazing and all of our guests commented on how lovely it was and how friendly and helpful the staff were. The evening was fabulous and we danced the night away. Finally to all the staff who were so friendly and attentive to all our guests needs. But may I say a particular thank you to Laura, who was there right from the start to the big day. Dealing with my many emails with questions and always putting us at ease with your replies. It was unfortunate our youngest daughter was poorly on the day, thank you for accommodating her with jam sandwiches. I can't tell you how grateful I am when I saw you speaking to her and trying to make her feel better. We will never forget this day, we have so many happy memories!

A Massive Thank you
I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all the staff who worked on Friday. We had the best day and everything was amazing from start to finish. The venue was beautifully decorated and exactly how I imagined it to look. Everyone commented on the food and most said it was the best wedding food they'd eaten!! Lovely to hear. So thank you again! Also, thank you to you. I am so glad we decided to go with the Secret Garden. You made the whole planning effortless and straight forward, always there to guide and answer all queries. I have heard friends who have got married say how difficult it is but because of your work I didn't find that. As you may have noticed I'm not the most organized person! The hardest part of organizing it was the bridesmaid dresses! So thank you for making it so stress free!! We couldn't have asked for a better day! We're still on cloud 9! So many guests said how much they loved it too, which is lovely to hear! I'm sure we'll be back soon again! Thank you again for all your work!! Christina and Rich xx
