    David and team are a dream to work with!

    David and the team at Secret Garden were a dream to work with. We had our wedding at Rosecliff on 4/21 and from the first meeting David had a wonderful understanding of our vision. On our first meeting, David had a mockup of an arrangement that was almost identical to the ones on my Pinterest board. We talked at length about the kinds of flowers what would be in season for our wedding, our wedding colors, and his recommendations on how to make the most of our venue.

    David and the team were very amenable to tweaks and changes leading up to the wedding, and the final result was gorgeousl!! The flowers were fresh and so elegantly arranged. And most importantly, they were exactly what I had pictured in my head.

    Finally, one of the things I also appreciated about Secret Garden was their commitment to being budget-conscious and making the most of out of arrangements so there was as little waste as possible. We reused arrangements from the ceremony space in the cocktail hour/reception and the team made these transitions with no hesitation.

    I would highly recommend Secret Garden for anyone planning their wedding!

    Wedding flowers

    David and the Secret Garden created beautiful floral arrangements. They created exactly what I wanted for a great price. I even had a last minute request and David was so responsive and accommodating. If I could give this business 1000 stars, I would. I am so moved by the beautiful and creative floral arrangements. It made our wedding day even more spectacular.

    We greatly appreciate The Secret Garden and their services!

    Best Flowers Around

    I honestly don't even know where to begin with writing a review because I have so many positive things to say! I reached out to David regarding wedding flowers and he immediately got back to me. Before I knew it we had a face-to-face consultation arranged. At that consultation he was able to show me all of the flowers he could offer and kept track of things I liked, disliked, and absolutely needed. By the end of our appointment we had made a mini bouquet that he gladly let me take home! Besides the flowers I did NOT like, I gave him full creative control with a color in mind and he delivered masterpieces! The flowers were beyond what I could have ever imagined and we are still getting compliments this day over them! David was able to accommodate every bump in the road and made our wedding day a day to remember!

    Amazing Wedding Florist

    My husband and I worked with David and Megan at The Secret Garden RI for our wedding florals this year. David and Megan were very responsive and helpful while we worked with them. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous.. beyond what we could have imagined. So many people complimented the flowers. David, Megan and their team moved our florals around between the ceremony and the reception to make sure we got the most usage out of them as possible. We could not recommend them more!

    Beautiful arrangements!

    David is super easy to work with and very organized. We met prior and wanted in season colorful flowers and he made us a test bouquet and on the day of he and his team delivered! All of the arrangements, bouquets, boutonnières for our ceremony and wedding reception were beautiful! Thank you so much for providing beautiful flowers! They also lasted long too! 10/10 would recommend!

    Wedding florist

    David and his team were exceptional at their job and so easy to work with. David was always quick with his responses and entertained my million ideas, always ready and willing to make it come to life.

    A dream come true

    Dave and his team brought my vision to life for our wedding. They went above and beyond with all of the details. When I walked into our reception at the Lobster Bar I could not believe how beautiful it all turned out. The tables were filled with the most beautiful flowers and candles and they added some beautiful touches around the venue. Dave gets back to you very promptly and was so great to work with. Highly recommend the Secret Garden team for your wedding.

    Breathtaking & Tasteful

    The team at Secret Garden provided exceptional service, listened carefully to the type of arrangement we were looking for, and delivered exceptional arrangements. We used Secret Garden for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding. The owner is extremely kind and everyone on his team made the process both unique and seamless especially on the big day.

    An absolute dream

    The Secret Garden was an absolute delight to work with. They made it a point to make sure what I envisioned for the day came to life start to finish and was a pivotal part of having a stress free day. Everything turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I hope to have an event in the furture I can use them for!

    A Dream to Work With

    David and his team were a dream to work with. I explained I was looking for local, seasonal flowers that give a big bang for their buck and WOW did he deliver. I felt that for my budget David put together stunning flower arrangements that looked much more expensive than they were. Even the team at Oceancliff said they couldn't believe how stunning the flowers were - wild and natural with stunning colors and interesting greenery. I'm so happy I went with David and couldn't recommend him and his team higher.

    Best florist ever!!!!

    David and the Secret Garden RI team were incredible start to finish! I worked with David from the beginning and he was so kind and helpful! I switched my vision quite a few times and David was so flexible and accommodating! Meeting with him was amazing and he even let us take some arrangements home! He was so responsive!!! The florals were PERFECTION! They were exactly what I envisioned! He and his team did an amazing job with our arbor arch, our head table hydrangea runner, and all of the bouquets! I would recommend them to anyone! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much David and team!!!

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    David and his team at The Secret Garden made our wedding flower dreams come true! David was so responsive and always willing to meet with us in person, which really makes a difference when trying to plan such a big life event. We had a set budget and David worked with us within that budget, he was so flexible and provided us several options and examples when deciding on what items we really wanted. Then seeing the flowers on the big day was even better than what we had envisioned, the arrangements were beautiful and I couldn’t stop admiring my own bouquet. We would 1000% recommend The Secret Garden to any couple planning their big day!

    David and the crew at The Secret Garden in Jamestown, RI were a pleasure to work with on our wedding. They paid attention to every detail, they set up at the venue in a limited time frame and the flower arrangements that they provided were fresh, beautiful and exactly how I had envisioned.

    Gorgeous florals

    The Secret Garden was recommended to me by a coworker and I will be doing the exact same for anyone else who asks! First off, they were able to stay within my budget. They were responsive and easy to book. My flowers were delivered to my venue morning of and they were beyond beautiful. I couldn't have dreamt them to be this breathtaking.

    Gala Phipps Design Co. - Gala Phipps

    I recommend David and The Secret Garden to my Newport Bride for her wedding and I have to say David and his team did an amazing job. From the beginning David was responsive, knowledgeable about items on my list, and a pleasure to work with. During the floral preview, David really understood the vision and listened to our thoughts and opinions. On the day of the wedding, David and his team executed the wedding floral design and beyond. All of the florals were stunning and really hit the garden vibe we were going for. They even add some last-minute items that were needed on the day of. David, Megan, Nicole, and the rest of his team are incredibly lovely and helpful from beginning to end.

    Extraordinary

    Working with David Urban and the Secret Garden in Jamestown was a joy. My daughter had her wedding this past weekend. Upon entering the tent, I heard the guests gasp in awe of the beauty.
    My daughter’s vision was for it to look like a garden inside the tent. They exceeded every expectation. It was breathtaking. Even the management at the venue stated that in 35 years they had never seen anything so beautiful.
    I will not publish the amount I paid because we ordered a huge amount of flowers. I don’t want to deter anyone from using The Secret Garden. David Urban stayed well within our budget. I would have paid much more for the flowers and been completely satisfied. The value of the flowers & service was beyond what I expected.
    They were a joy. I would recommend that you get flowers there for every occasion. I certainly will. Thanks again to the amazing team that brought so much beauty to our daughter’s wedding.

    Our Fairytale Wedding

    We couldn’t have had a better experience working with The Secret Garden for our May 2023 wedding! Memorial Day is a notoriously busy weekend in Newport, RI but the staff at Secret Garden made us a 100% priority and made the entire experience so beautiful and stress free. When the flowers arrived, they were more beautiful than I could have imagined and the attention to detail to make sure they arrived securely was apparent. I will be using them in the future for all of my floral needs!
