The Secret Garden Event Center Overview

Nestled at the base of South Mountain in Phoenix stands the Secret Garden Event Center, a gorgeous historic estate that is situated on five acres of pristine land. Built in the late 1920’s, this vintage paradise channels the charming opulence of the era – southwest style. Imagine pulling up a stone driveway to the facade of this fine estate, making a great first impression with serene fountains and meticulous landscaping. Descend a grand 20 foot staircase and walk down to your ceremony on a beautifully manicured lawn where you will say your “I do’s” beneath a wrought iron pavilion with stone altar. The nearby pond brimming with flowers will add another distinctive accent to this sacred moment. Once you’ve taken your fair share of wedding photos among the mansion’s stunning architecture, retreat to the Traditions Pavilion to celebrate your union. Dance the night away beneath chandeliers and cathedral ceilings, walking through elegant French doors into the adjoining courtyard when you need a breath of fresh air. For more intimate receptions, head over to the warm and welcoming 85-year-old Carriage House. The Secret Garden Event Center is ideal for a romantic wedding or vintage-inspired nuptials!
