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.

The most perfect venue to hold a wedding! The best part, everything is there. The bridal and groom cottages, the ceremony, the cocktail and the reception - all in one place. All a guest needs to do is walk from one garden to another. Joe was wonderful to work with. Very responsive and helpful. I went with all of their recommended vendors from the tasting and they all worked out except for one. Please do not book with the wedding planner Yeni from Olive Events. She was at the tasting and was highly recommended by the venue however, she is the only vendor that did not follow though. It was very hard to get a hold of her and work with her. We had to go with another wedding planner Secret Gardens recommended who was AMAZING. It's a shame because all the other vendors were beyond spectacular (Molina Catering, Belk Event Design, Events by Fortuna, Cigar Love, Bee-Ella-Fizz, Coll Music, Carlos Osorio Photography, & DJ Willy). NOTE - if you go over 150 guests you have to pay $15 extra for each guest, extra valet, and hire a portable bathroom., So, just be aware that big weddings will cost more.

Secret Gardens Miami is truly a dream venue for weddings. The beautifully landscaped gardens, cascading waterfalls, and serene koi ponds create a magical ambiance perfect for any romantic occasion.

Blanca, Joe and all the staff are incredibly professional and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect. Their commitment to excellence is evident in how effortlessly they coordinate with vendors and manage the event timeline.
