Built in 1929 by Walter Strong, this Spanish Colonial Revival manor sits within an expansive botanical garden setting in South Phoenix. Authentic period architecture highlights hand-stamped tiles, ornate fireplaces, and grand staircases, all surrounded by meticulously designed desert landscapes. The historic estate blends original 1920s craftsmanship with mature native plants, creating intimate garden spaces beneath towering mesquite and date palm canopies. South Mountain and Guadalupe Range vistas provide dramatic desert backdrops, while customizable all-inclusive packages ensure your wedding flows smoothly from outdoor iron pergola ceremonies to manor house receptions.

Love Notes
“Secret Garden by Wedgewood Weddings was truly our dream venue! From the initial tour, we loved how beautiful and timeless the setting was. Wedgewood Weddings was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. Everything was organized, clear, and thoughtfully planned. Thanks to them, we were able to fully enjoy our day without a single ounce of stress. ”
“This mostly all-inclusive venue can't be overlooked. I created a massive spreadsheet looking at Arizona venues including cost, what you get, and what's needed in addition. You can't beat this for the price and stress levels. We only felt stressed in the last 2-3 weeks...mostly from our own planning and locking down details. We were well fed, hydrated, and checked in on throughout the night without feeling smothered or lost.”
“They made wedding planning a breeze... and it was the most affordable place around! You seriously cannot find a better deal in wedding world than at the Secret Garden. Our wedding day was beautiful, the planning process was straightforward, and the planning team was very responsive and helpful. I liked the customizable options and that all the information was in one place. ”
