Weddings at The Secret Garden - Ceremonies in Aptos

Tucked away in a private location, The Secret Garden feels like a place you stumble upon in a dream. Garden paths wander through flowering beds and dappled shade, opening into little clearings that seem to have been waiting for two people to stand together and say yes.

Weddings at The Secret Garden offers couples the perfect spot to share your vows are in your close circle can be near enough to hear every word. This is a space for the boho at heart and the nature lovers: couples who would rather walk barefoot along a garden path than down a ballroom aisle, and who want their ceremony to feel unhurried, intimate, and entirely their own.

There is no rush of crowds and no strangers passing by, only your people, the gardens, ocean views and the vows you're about to make.

From 120 people to just the two of you - your own magic, and a little guidance makes will feel effortless. I'll help you choose the setting within this venue that speaks to you both, shape the flow of your ceremony, and make sure your marriage license is signed and returned to the County Clerk so everything is official.

Elopement packages for up to 10 people are offered starting at $1,300, plus a facility fee. The package includes your officiant, photographer and ceremony coordination.

Stay the Night, or the Whole Weekend

The celebration doesn't have to end when the last dance does. The Secret Garden offers cozy campsites, space for RVs, and unique rooms for overnight stays. You can stay in one of the garden's sweetest surprises - it’s charming hobbit-hut.

If you're bringing family or close friends, the garden's spacious home can be rented as well. Gather everyone under one roof for a welcome dinner, get ready together the morning of, and share a slow, happy breakfast the day after. It's a beautiful way to turn a single day into a weekend of togetherness..Imagine saying your vows in the late afternoon light, lingering over a toast as evening settles in, and then simply stepping across the garden to your own storybook hideaway. No drive home, no rush. Just the two of you and the first quiet night of your married life., so you and your loved ones can linger under the Aptos sky. Wake to morning light in the garden, share coffee with the people who traveled to be with you, and let your wedding unfold slowly, the way the best gatherings do.
