The Barn 305 was an amazing venue for our wedding. From the start, their communication was decent, but the quality of their work and value was truly outstanding. I’ve learned, most communication with any vendors is really only the week before. The venue itself was spectacular - it's no wonder it was the talk of our wedding. The elegant barn setting created the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff was attentive and helpful, ensuring everything ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our marriage. We highly recommend The Barn 305 to any couple looking for a unique and unforgettable wedding venue.

This venue was an absolute dream come true. My guests were WOWed with how gorgeous and magical it is! They cannot stop telling me what a beautiful wedding I had. From the moment I visited the venue for the tasting and tour, I knew it was the one. I was shopping around for a while but once I spent the day here, I was hooked. What I loved about this place was that it is beginner friendly. What I mean is, is that I moved here about three years ago and had no clue where to start when looking for trustworthy and professional vendors. This place is like a one-stop-shop for all things wedding! Joe did an exceptional job explaining everything crucial when planning a wedding at the tour. He explained that they have numerous vendors they prefer and recommend. All of these vendors know each other so well and have worked together for over 20 years. I have to say, that sold me. I love a place that is like a family, and this is what the staff at Secret Garden's Miami is. My day could not have gone any better. It was absolutely seamless, no hiccups! The planning was absolutely stress free as I had my choice of vendors, and everything booked within one month. Anyone that asks me for recommendations on venues, this is my #1. They best part: It is super affordable!!! BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE! You will NOT regret it!!
