The Secret Garden

The feel

The Secret Garden is nestled in the beautiful countryside that is the gateway to the Vale of Glamorgan. The Secret Garden at Duffryn Mawr offers you a unique venue that provides exclusivity, romance, privacy and professional care for your special weekend.

With the opportunity to get married both in the stable and courtyard or on the private lawn, The Secret Garden is enchanting and completely personalised to your day.

The reception is in a marquee and on site accommodation is available for up to 15 guests. With a capacity of up to 130 guests, you can have a personal, intimate wedding or a bigger affair.

The stunning setting is sure to provide a memorable day for you and all of your guests!

We, as a family business, strive to offer you personal care in the preparation of your beautiful weekend.  Attention to detail is our aim to ensure that you find the whole journey fun, relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable from confirmation to execution of your dream wedding.

Myself, Rosie and my husband Simon are always available to chat through any ideas or concerns and enjoy building up a friendship with all involved.

We are immensly proud of our beautiful garden and what we can offer from our accommodation, our fabulous team, our equally fabulous suppliers.  No stone is left unturned.

The Secret Garden is in a fantastic location with great access through the South Wales corridor, perfect for guests travelling from afar.  There is an abundance of local accommodation providers from high end hotels to friendly B&B’s whom we work closely with.

Visit our brochure which is compact and should answer any questions you may have.  We welcome couples to arrange a convenient appointment to come and have a chat and look around.

Be assured to have a fun time on your journey and experience a very warm, relaxed welcome from us.  We look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Rosie and Si x
