Office Party · 50 guests · July 2026
We held our company Summer Party at the Secret Garden, and it was an amazing experience! The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. I honestly have nothing but positive things to say—it was definitely worth it, and everyone had a fantastic time!

FAQ

No, DJs and live music are not allowed. Background music is played during events and is shared with the restaurant.

Yes, soft music is allowed as entertainment. However, because of the venue’s location, using the maximum capacity of the Secret Garden will reduce the space available for any musician.
