A few days ago my wife and I had the wedding of our dreams at Secret Gardens Miami’s Villa Laguna property, and it was everything we could’ve hoped for. Upon visiting Secret Gardens the first time for their wedding expo (where we toured the property, met the owners and many of their preferred vendors and sampled food and beverages) we knew it was the perfect venue for us. Their pricing was beyond fair, especially in contrast to many other venues of similar size nearby, but beyond that it was stunning the night of our wedding. They have lights strung through trees and a gorgeously lit reception tent, their lush vegetation and blue green lagoons were a gorgeous setting to spend the night among. All of our guests loved it. What’s more, the layout of the venue allowed us to split the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception into three unique settings, cocktail hour under their tiki cabana was a big hit.I can’t speak any higher of Joe and Blanca Doyle, who run Secret Gardens. Every time me or my wife had a question I would text one of them and almost every time we’d have a response within five minutes, they were so attentive to our needs even in months prior to the our big day. True professionals, if we needed help with direction in any sense they would either have the answer ready for our questions or were quick to put us in touch with the person who did, and they set us up with some really amazing vendors. With the exception of one, all of our vendors were from their preferred list, and having a team who had not only all worked the venue but had also worked the venue together before made the day of come together seamlessly. It made everything so smooth. To top it off, when my wife showed up to prepare morning of, she arrived to find the Doyle’s had an entire crew on site freshly mowing the grass, picked up fallen branches and beautifying the whole property. She got ready with her girls in their on site suite and had the best time, even the photos she had taken from cellphones while they prepared in the beautiful suite looked like they were straight out of a magazine.All in all they delivered better than I could’ve hoped, excellent communication and quick to address any concerns, even the day of Joe was there to make sure everything was running smooth. If you want a venue thats absolutely gorgeous and owners that make your life easy as possible, you won’t regret choosing Secret Gardens Miami. Their main property was beautiful as well, but for our wedding of just over 70 people, the Villa Laguna property was perfect size and a huge success.Thank you Joe and Blanca, and the team at Secret Gardens Miami.

Last night was my daughters’ wedding and I cannot begin to describe the joy in my heart as review every single minute of our day. From the time we arrived to the venue for cocktail hour and photos, to the dinner, DJ, and the catering staff, I cannot think of 1 situation I wish would have been different. Everyone was so willing to help, they went out of their way to make sure we stayed on schedule. The appetizers were delicious! The bartenders all knew each other and were having fun with us! Every trip to the bar was a pleasant conversation or a good laugh. The food was exquisite! DJ adhered to my daughter’s music preference to the perfection! Catering staff was very professional and served food as people sat, to make sure everyone got a hot meal, we had different menu options and they knew just who ordered what. I just can’t say enough about my experience last night. Thank you sooooo much to everyone that made this night unforgettable and a COMPLETE success!!!

We got married at Secret Gardens in November and everything turned out beautifully! The property is a slice of paradise. Immediately upon arrival it’s clear that Joe and Blanca take such great care of it. We were floored by how beautiful the WHOLE property is. They also clearly care so much for each couple. Our requests were listened to and accommodated and overall they were just so incredibly easy to work with. We are so happy we decided to go with Secret Garden as our wedding venue!

Secret Gardens is heaven on Earth! Such a magical vibe to this place. My husband & I looked at 1 venue throughout our entire wedding planning process and just knew that Secret Gardens was THE place. There was no way we could have our BIG day in any other location. We’re still in awe with this place. Blanca and Joe were phenomenal from Day 1 and were always attentive to our questions and concerns. Our families continue to talk about how beautiful and special the venue was. We honestly thought it would be tough to plan and have our destination wedding but the venue did not disappoint and provided us so many preferred vendors which helped in our planning process. Thank you to Blanca and Joe! You guys have a very special place in our hearts!!

Today, April 8th, we participated in the well-executed venue tour by Blanca and Joe. It was set up almost as a mini-expo, totally recommend to attend if you get the chance. Blanca and Joes set up different vendors such as violinist, Chefs, DJ, florist, juices, drinks, party planner, officiant, and makeup artist showcase some of their work. We even got to try some of the food and juices which were delicious! Afterwards we took a tour of the beautiful property with Joe, he answered all of questions, and even showed us set up options we could have for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The communication was effortless from our first inquiry to the day of the tour. I definitely recommend checking this place out.

We were there today for a tour of the venue and a vendor presentation. Let me just say that the level of professionalism is impressive. The place is gorgeous and the food from Chef Stephen at over the top catering was plentiful and delicious. We were beyond impressed. The icing on the cake was the kindness and generosity of the owners Joe and Blanca. We got to speak with Blanca after the tour she had such helpful advice not just for the wedding but good life advice. She has a passion for helping people. Thank you Secret Gardens for a wonderful time this morning.

We chose to have our ceremony at night and the glowing waterfalls, hanging lights throughout the property and chandeliers under the tent created an absolutely magical atmosphere. Joe was very responsive and kind, it was a pleasure to work with him. The staff was helpful on the wedding day and made sure we were informed as to what to do to avoid cleaning fees. Aside from the fact that they misplaced our fish food bags (which were replaced, so no big deal), they were absolutely perfect. We received countless compliments from our guests. With so many beautiful ponds and gorgeous grounds to stroll through, there wasn't a boring moment for them. I wish we could re-live the day over and over again!

Honestly don’t know where to start. Secret Gardens was a blessing from the very beginning. It was actually the first venue my fiancé and I saw and we immediately fell in love with everything we saw. It was an easy decision for us to choose Secret Gardens as the one - they checked all of our boxes. 3 bedroom villa on site, clear tent on the property, soooo many photo op spots, gorgeous natural environment, and no time restrictions! I was able to stay and get ready on site all day and then we partied until 1am with no issues. Then you throw in the owners… Joe & Blanca were God sends. I was able to reach out to them - text or email - at any time during the planning process and they always got back to me fast & efficiently. I felt loved, supported, and welcomed as part of their family. They care so much for all their clients and do whatever it takes to make them happy. Thank you to the whole Secret Gardens team!

This is probably one of the worst reviews I’ve ever had to write and the fact that is has to do with one of the most important days of my life hmm.. where do I start ahhh yes the mimosa tasting on a beautiful Sunday a year ago , me , my planner and my fiancé went to go see the property , we arrived on time Blanca- manger NOT OWNER walked up to us already looked like she was in a mood and eyebrows arches, she said I don’t have you on my list you never confirmed you were coming, my planner brought up the email and showed her our last email to her assistant, that we confirmed the day and time and that it was us 3, she literally said whatever go sit down, i was like whoa that super rude especially when your trying to have us book this venue, but we kept it moving due to the place being so gorgeous i immediately fell in love with it, now let’s fast forward to a year of planning after we made initial deposit and picked our date, we had so many unanswered emails, and text messages to her, and on one of the text she blatantly and unprofessional just did not want to deal with us, so I decided to contact her very nice and professional husband Joe, we felt not only more comfortable dealing with him but unlike his horrible wife Blanca he spoke with us NOT AT US, fast-forward day of wedding, where do i begin, let me remind you all this was the most important loving day of my life, we rent out villa for an overnight stay - the lady pops out literally the day before we needed to pay a deposit of $250 -like hello maybe if you communicated with us that wouldn’t have been a problem but the day before you’re going to throw another $250 deposit at us , ok I’m game i sent it in- we walked into villa and IT WAS DISGUSTING!!!, whoever said they cleaned that place LIED, we literally have videos and photos showing dust, mold, dirt crumbs ants all over the place it was a disaster, i again did not want to stress so my aunt literally stepped up and cleaned the bathroom, cleaned the kitchen and swept and mopped floor, we even left the place way cleaner they should have hired us to clean it, so now the deposit i paid was for anything that happened with the villa ( mind you we left it immaculate- day of wedding, my very nice friend just got a new Ferrari , he didn’t want valet to park it so he did and mistakenly bumped into the gate, ok problem solved i mean it’s a Ferrari he has super great insurance, it was going to get fixed and so was his car and he even said that he will pay for everything to the valet and the manager , well Blanca took it upon herself to say that we are ruining her property, I’m sorry what?!? i obviously had no idea what was going on i mean i was in the middle of my father walking me down the aisle , we she started with the harassing phone calls and text messages to my planner, when i tell you this lady is so unprofessional she literally needs to be FIRED and replaced with solemnly her husband she literally gives the most magical beautiful place the secret garden a BAD FACE AND NAME so my wedding planner is freaking out , this lady was saying she was going to shut down our wedding WHY BECAUSE OF A SMALL INCIDENT ARE YOU NUTS, i paid over $6000 for the venue alone , who says that to a bride and groom and wedding planner in the MIDDLE OF THEIR EVENT , I cried literally on my wedding day all because a Ferrari and a bump on your fence

This is probably one of the worst reviews I’ve ever had to write and the fact that is has to do with one of the most important days of my life hmm.. where do I start ahhh yes the mimosa tasting on a beautiful Sunday a year ago , me , my planner and my fiancé went to go see the property , we arrived on time Blanca- manger NOT OWNER walked up to us already looked like she was in a mood and eyebrows arches, she said I don’t have you on my list you never confirmed you were coming, my planner brought up the email and showed her our last email to her assistant, that we confirmed the day and time and that it was us 3, she literally said whatever go sit down, i was like whoa that super rude especially when your trying to have us book this venue, but we kept it moving due to the place being so gorgeous i immediately fell in love with it, now let’s fast forward to a year of planning after we made initial deposit and picked our date, we had so many unanswered emails, and text messages to her, and on one of the text she blatantly and unprofessional just did not want to deal with us, so I decided to contact her very nice and professional husband Joe, we felt not only more comfortable dealing with him but unlike his horrible wife Blanca he spoke with us NOT AT US, fast-forward day of wedding, where do i begin, let me remind you all this was the most important loving day of my life, we rent out villa for an overnight stay - the lady pops out literally the day before we needed to pay a deposit of $250 -like hello maybe if you communicated with us that wouldn’t have been a problem but the day before you’re going to throw another $250 deposit at us , ok I’m game i sent it in- we walked into villa and IT WAS DISGUSTING!!!, whoever said they cleaned that place LIED, we literally have videos and photos showing dust, mold, dirt crumbs ants all over the place it was a disaster, i again did not want to stress so my aunt literally stepped up and cleaned the bathroom, cleaned the kitchen and swept and mopped floor, we even left the place way cleaner they should have hired us to clean it, so now the deposit i paid was for anything that happened with the villa ( mind you we left it immaculate- day of wedding, my very nice friend just got a new Ferrari , he didn’t want valet to park it so he did and mistakenly bumped into the gate, ok problem solved i mean it’s a Ferrari he has super great insurance, it was going to get fixed and so was his car and he even said that he will pay for everything to the valet and the manager , well Blanca took it upon herself to say that we are ruining her property, I’m sorry what?!? i obviously had no idea what was going on i mean i was in the middle of my father walking me down the aisle , we she started with the harassing phone calls and text messages to my planner, when i tell you this lady is so unprofessional she literally needs to be FIRED and replaced with solemnly her husband she literally gives the most magical beautiful place the secret garden a BAD FACE AND NAME so my wedding planner is freaking out , this lady was saying she was going to shut down our wedding WHY BECAUSE OF A SMALL INCIDENT ARE YOU NUTS, i paid over $6000 for the venue alone , who says that to a bride and groom and wedding planner in the MIDDLE OF THEIR EVENT , I cried literally on my wedding day all because a Ferrari and a bump on your fence

Secret Gardens is a magically romantic venue. The compliments from guests were endless and I know the photos will be absolutely beautiful memories we can look back on for years. Aside from how perfect the ambiance of this place is, their team is AMAZING! They were so accommodating from our first tour to even after our wedding day. I'm so thankful for Joe and Blanca. We were invited to have our engagement shoot on property, welcomed to visit anytime, and were allowed to have my dog (our ring bearer) sniff around prior to wedding day. On top of that, I accidentally left my bouquet on property after the wedding. Joe responded promptly, as always, put it in water and had it ready for me to pick up the next day. I have nothing but great things to say. My thanks are endless!

My family and friends loved our venue! Everything looked so beautiful. My favorite part was the ceremony overlooking the lagoon. We rented out Villa Laguna, and could not be happier with how everything turned out. Having the opportunity to move the guests through 3 different sections (ceremony by lagoon and bridge, cocktail hour by the second waterfront, and reception under the tent) really made it feel so spacious and beautiful. I love that everything was outside, and there was enough room under the reception area to space the tables out and still have so much space for dancing. This was the perfect venue for us and 65 guests. Very happy with our choice.Also want to add that we used Events by Molina for catering. They are the sweetest, and the food was delicious!! All of our guests were raving about the hors d'oeuvres and entrees. The cake was delicious as well. They even had options for late night snacks and doggy bags which is great. I will most definitely be using them for events in the future.

This place is absolutely breathtaking. Joe and Blanca keep this place so beautifully. They are great to work with and want to make your dreams come to life. I had an amazing time at my wedding. There’s no other venue like it. The one bad thing I will say is that the supposed “man cave” is literally a trailer with two chairs. We had 8 groomsmen plus some family members with the groom the day of the wedding. They complained that it was ugly and just not comfortable, nobody could sit and it was difficult to put food there for the men to eat during the getting ready phase. During the planning process they kept raving about their man cave and we asked to see it on 4 separate occasions and it was always conveniently booked no matter how dead the place was. Other than that I had a great experience.

I do not usually write reviews. However.. We had the wedding of our dreams! Thanks to Joe and Blanca 11.07.2021 was absolutely magical.🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.. We chose the venue as a destination wedding site.. and we made the right decision in 2019. The Venue is absolutely breathtaking!! The moment we did our walk through we sealed and signed the contract.. Our wedding date had to be postponed twice due to Covid and international guests travel plans. This venue was WORTH the wait! Never once any hassles, headaches or running around. Every question, query concern were answered to our satisfaction. Joe and Blanca are the kindest couple, she called me her NYC bride. We never once thought of moving our wedding to a different venue! They offered suggestions about ceremony sites, hotel accommodations etc. The catering options were superb! This venue fitted my elegant, classy sophisticated, romantic wedding theme. Every detail went according to our plans even in record time planning and re scheduling! Today I am still receiving compliments on the venue selection. Looking at our photos!! ( we can tell why). Together with an amazing team of vendors, we have memories for a lifetime! Thank you Joe and Blanca Secret Gardens Miami. PS: we will stay in touch with them!

Secret Gardens is the most spectacular venue in all of Florida !!! Think BLUE LAGOON, meets THE BEACH (and stick to the happy-exotic scenes).From the moment I arrived I was swept off my feet. Every nook and cranny was perfect. A whimsical bellini cart placed at the entrance before the bridge. A violinist greeted us with classy tunes as we crossed said bridge. A cigar lounge for the men (and some women). A bar-attendant elegantly dressed, and happy to serve up bubbly, beer and more. A gourmet coffee station complete with specialty coffees and every-ccino under the sun. This in conjunction with all the natural beauty and splendor of the place. Blanca and Joe are are no-nonsense top notch party planners. They were the masterminds behind my baby shower this past weekend and along with their recommended vendors, created a magical experience I (and my guests) will never forget. They were easy to reach, friendly, and above all patient with my mom’s countless inquiries. Words can’t do this place (or my shower) justice. Thank you Blanca, Joe and the entire Secret Gardens crew for blowing my event out of the water.

Where do I start, this venue is BEAUTIFUL and versatile. I was looking for a venue for some time and when I walked in I was instantly in love. What made The Secret Gardens Miami so helpful was the tasting and tour they offer on Sundays. Blanca was so warm and inviting during her presentation. The best part was I was able to find my caterer, wedding planner, and DJ all in one spot. Which was really helpful because like most, if this is your first wedding you don't even know where to start. Once my date was set I mostly spoke to Joe, Joe is so awesome and easy going. You name what you want and they will work with you. If your looking for an outdoor wedding location this is the place. Thank you for all the help and letting me have my special day at The Secret Gardens Miami.

The property is clean, offers a large selection of photo worthy areas, and all of the employees are sweet and kind. After meeting Joe and Blanca, they were both beyond helpful in helping us with potential vendors, answered every single one of our questions with a smile, and we’re accommodating.

Secret Gardens lives up to its name in the best way possible-- stepping foot onto the venue, you feel like you're in a private oasis. It feels luxurious and refined, but with a tropical Miami flair. Beautifully manicured foliage, waterfalls, coral walking bridges...there are so many little coves and walkways that wedding guests can enjoy (especially during cocktail hour). What the photos *don't* show you is how incredible the team is at Secret Gardens. From our first visit, Joe and Blanca have made us feel like family. They're seasoned pros, transparent and reasonable with their pricing, and very responsive to any questions. During this COVID-19 crisis, we unfortunately had to reschedule our wedding. Without question, Joe and Blanca offered flexible date changes and were so patient with my incessant calls (lol).After extensive research online and in-person, choosing Secret Gardens Miami was a no-brainer.

When we got engaged in July 2018, we knew we needed to book a venue quickly in order to fit our Winter 2019 timeline. Living in Miami, it's hard to find a venue with gorgeous outdoor space on a budget, so we extended our search a little further south to Homestead. We had two venue visits lined up on a Saturday morning, first the Secret Garden and then another venue in Miami Beach. The Gardens blew us away, so much that we booked them the same day. We knew as soon as we walked in to the second venue visit that we wanted to have our wedding at the Secret Gardens of Miami, and the owners, Joe and Blanca Doyle have been amazing to work with over the past year and a half.They are great help for organization, vendor recommendations, and general wedding planning. For every visit, there is also a tasting organized with some of their recommended caterers (which is how we got ours!) and the fact that the venue and vendors already know each other cuts out a big portion of the planning. You are not required to stick to any kind of vendor list, but honestly, their recommendations are fantastic and we didn't even bother looking elsewhere. The Gardens offer a beautiful space for a ceremony, complete with a stone arch and waterfall in the background, places to get ready for the bride and groom separately, a gorgeous space to host the cocktail hour, and the most incredible space for a reception. We opted to spend a little extra money in order to use the transparent marquis tent outfitted with drapes, lights and crystal chandeliers over a hard dance floor. You can skip this though and do an alfresco dinner on the gorgeous lawn if you prefer. Having the tent worked out for us because it rained a little, and it was such a pretty background in photos. We also barely had to do any decorating because the venue is already lit and the Gardens are so beautiful that they needed nothing else!We loved that our guests could wander around the Gardens freely, feeding the giant koi in the four ponds and exploring the cute little nooks dispersed throughout the property. We didn't have to leave to get amazing wedding pictures because there is so much variety to choose from for amazing and unique backgrounds. If you're looking for an outdoor, romantic, tropical space with the freedom to make your wedding exactly what you want it, don't look any further. I would choose Secret Gardens of Miami over and over again and Joe and Blanca were phenomenal to work with.

The Gardens offer a beautiful space for a ceremony, complete with a stone arch and waterfall in the background, places to get ready for the bride and groom separately, a gorgeous space to host the cocktail hour, and the most incredible space for a reception. We opted to spend a little extra money in order to use the transparent marquis tent outfitted with drapes, lights and crystal chandeliers over a hard dance floor. You can skip this though and do an alfresco dinner on the gorgeous lawn if you prefer. Having the tent worked out for us because it rained a little, and it was such a pretty background in photos. We also barely had to do any decorating because the venue is already lit and the Gardens are so beautiful that they needed nothing else!We loved that our guests could wander around the Gardens freely, feeding the giant koi in the four ponds and exploring the cute little nooks dispersed throughout the property. We didn't have to leave to get amazing wedding pictures because there is so much variety to choose from for amazing and unique backgrounds. If you're looking for an outdoor, romantic, tropical space with the freedom to make your wedding exactly what you want it, don't look any further. I would choose Secret Gardens of Miami over and over again and Joe and Blanca were phenomenal to work with.

Just had my wedding at Secret Gardens it was everything I hoped for and more! Even though they don’t offer all inclusive packages Joe and Blanca recommended great vendors that they have worked with many times and everything seemed easy extremely smooth. I didn’t have a wedding planner so I dealt with it then directly and planned everything in about 4 months! They were extremely helpful and flexible! Joe was always available for questions and suggestions! Couldn’t think of a better venue!

First off, Blanca and Joe are incredible. They really know how to make you feel special. They have a great team working for them. The venue is stunning, all of our guests were mesmerized with the location and everything about it. Compared to other venues we looked at, the Secret Gardens is truly affordable and my husband and I think it was worth every single cent. We loved the flexibility to have our cocktail hour and reception anywhere around the venue. There’s not really a “set place” for anything and that is truly unique. The only feedback is we wished the man cave was a little more updated. However, the bridal suite was under construction so maybe that is all coming soon! I was blessed with the opportunity to get ready in the beautiful cottage on their sister property. It was just stunning and so spacious for a bride, bridesmaids, and a whole team of make up artists to set up. Again, I’m very grateful Blanca and Joe accommodated me in that way. Thank you!

The place is beautiful. I know two couples who had their wedding there and they had amazing things to say of the place. The day we went to have a tour was the day we booked and luckily we got the date we really wanted. For the wedding rehearsal my bridal party, coordinator, DJ, fiance and I went to review how we'd be walking and the set up. We went to the area close to the tend to review how the setup of the reception are would be. I was taken aback by the way we were received, we were told we could not be near the tent (we had not rented it anyways) because there was a private party happening. We weren't recognized by the person who was in charge, they only spoke to the coordinator. I just thought it was rude. My husband mentioned that the \"man cave\" is a trailer that isn't all the great for the groom. I know there's been recent upgrades, I don't know if that also applies to the man cave. Other than that the day of the wedding, all went smooth, very well. The guests were astonished at the place's beauty. The weather was magnificent that day, we're happy choosing the Secret Garden as our wedding venue.

Our guests still talk about the wedding and how impressed they were with the elegance of the garden. The garden was not only beautiful but was equipped with everything we needed. From beginning to end Mr. & Mrs. Doyle treated us with the upmost respect and not as customers but as family. They tended to our every need if possible and even supplied us with vendors (Our caterer Events by Molina). Of all the venues I researched and visited during my planning process I would highly recommend Secret Gardens Miami. My husband and I felt like royalty and if we could go back in time we wouldn't change a thing.

Even now, I hear they are expanding the property to include more upgraded dressing facilities/overnight bed and breakfast which is needed but overall ….WOW… what a great outdoor venue.

One thing I do recommend (and this is for every vendor you book) make sure that everything that is talked about from the beginning is written down and signed. Make copies. Sometimes vendors may forget what was said when you book so early in advance and it can cause complications along the way, this is one issue I had and it was definitely one headache I wish was avoided, I can only be able to talk good things about Joe from this venue, but please remember to have everything written down and confirmed, venues make changes and that can result additional money out of your pockets in the end, your contract will save you and all the additional add ons they offer need to be written down on it as well. Regardless, The Secret Gardens is a wonderful venue, very well kept, it makes you feel like you’re somewhere else.

Richard and I had the privilege of meeting Blanca and Joe, owners of the Secret Gardens property. They were a lovely couple who treat us with respect, acceptance and love. As a gay couple, it has been very difficulty to find wedding venues in South Florida who made us feel at home. Secret Gardens made it happen. The venue was superb and very accommodating. Truly out of this world. Their staff were extremely professional and friendly. The day of the wedding Richard and I \"felt as kings of the world\". We were pampered and had an amazing wedding. The planning process was easy as the vendors recommended by Blanca and Joe were accommodating to our needs. Everything was a dream come true. We danced the night away.... Thank you Secret Gardens for unforgettable memories to last a life time and for adding two more additions to our family- Blanca and Joe. Much love and success! XO

Being a vendor at the Secret Garden is a very pleasant experience. Not only the venue is GORGEOUS, but also very peaceful place to be. The administrators have done an incredible job keeping it clean, organized, and flawless for all types of events. I love the flexibility they give to their clients to visit, do food tastings, and rehearse for their event. They will go on and beyond to make sure their clients gets their clients gets the best service. We enjoy working every event at the Secret Garden, but most importantly, we enjoy seeing our clients happy.

My daughter got engaged and told us she wanted her wedding to be in Florida, where she now lives. I admit I was nervous about the entire process since we were so far away. Being an out of town family, we didn’t have any contacts (florists, caterers, DJ’s etc.) in the area. My daughter and her fiancé scouted out the different places in the area and decided on Secret Gardens of Miami as their venue for their spring 2019 wedding. We have been able to visit a couple of times now and it is absolutely breathtaking with so many photo ops for the special day. We are still in the planning stage right now, but Blanca has been there with us every step of the way. She has bent over backwards to help us with our planning at the venue and has provided us with opportunities to meet with others as needed. They have regular tours that are actually at the venue and you get to meet other contacts needed for planning the special event. We are looking forward to celebrating our daughters special day there!

The Secret Garden is a hidden gem . We fell in love the moment we stepped on site. This place is magical. We are going to give our daughter the quinceañera of her dreams here. Owners Joe and Blanca are a power couple. They have all the knowledge and know how to make anything you want happen. The recommendations that they gave for event planning / catering has far exceeded our expectations. We are extremely delighted that we booked our daughters special event here at the Secret Garden.

The secret Gardens was an amazing experience for us, the staff, locations, style, vendors, everything was out of this world. We had our wedding in the tent and did new and innovative things thats made the wedding even more beautiful. I loved that i was able to decorate and bring my ideas to the table without having any misinterpretations. Blanca, Joe, and Jason were amazing throughout the whole process and Nadia helped a lot during our rehersal and engagement photo shoot. Everyone was helpful and supportive We honestly wouldn’t have asked for a better team, venue, and day for our wedding. Thank you Secret Gardens!

I did not end up having my wedding here because the distance for my guests was too much. But I just wanted to say that this place is absolutely beautiful and the price is perfect. It’s affordable. The venues gardens and space is perfect for any big event. It allows space for your guests to roam around and feed the fish or eat at the tiki bar. I wish I could’ve gone with this place.

Meet the Secret Gardens Miami Team
Blanca Doyle (Events Director) I have always been passionate about party and event planning. After starting with Secret Gardens Miami over ten years ago and falling in love with this tropical paradise, I knew it was the perfect outdoor event venue. We have multiple event spaces, natural lagoons with exquisite waterfalls and crystal clear waters populated with tropical fish and swans, and 6 acres of vast foliage. We are located in an agricultural area, very close to US 1 and a major expressway, making us easy to get to but still very secluded. We would love to share our oasis with you!
