Secret Garden tiny weddings offers a refined alternative to traditional courthouse ceremonies - perfect for couples seeking something simple, personal, and effortlessly elegant.

What to expect

Each ceremony is short and meaningful, set in an intimate florist setting, holding up to eight guests.

Your experience includes a bespoke flower bouquet, a bottle of non-alcoholic bubbles for your wedding toast, and a thoughtfully curated collection of images of your time with us - captured by Josie Mossman Photography.

Held on Saturday afternoons in a central location in Wellington, once your Secret Garden wedding ends, you can seamlessly continue the celebration - enjoy late-afternoon cocktails followed by a romantic dinner close-by.

Our Story

Secret Garden tiny weddings began with a moment of reflection

As a family photographer, I’d often thought about photographing weddings too, but the traditional, all-day format never quite felt like the right fit - more-so now that I’m a mother.

Then I discovered that courthouse weddings - the simple, low-key option my fiancé and I once imagined for ourselves, were no longer as accessible. It made me wonder - what would I want instead?

The answer was something small, beautiful and intentional. A short ceremony in a memorable location, shared with just a handful of loved ones - relaxed, affordable and truly about the moment itself.

And that’s how Secret Garden was born.

We host tiny weddings for couples who want something simple but special - a meaningful way to get married without the stress, scale, or cost of a traditional wedding. Just the two of you, your people, and a moment worth remembering.
