Predictions are currently listed with a high of 105 and low of 87. We do not have the same humidity as many other places. It may still be over 100 at 5 p.m., but it does cool down very fast.

Upon entering through the main gate, immediately turn right, away from the fountain to park. Once leaving your car to attend the ceremony, go through either arch to find the ceremony space in the open yard of the historic home.

Dressy casual. In the Arizona heat, dress as comfortably as you can. But be ready to have a fun time! The wedding ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outside with dinner indoors.

Unfortunately, as much as we would love to invite everyone's children, we can only accommodate the few close family children directly invited.

When you RSVP, please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.

No. We hope to travel to a fun destination within the year to follow, but not right away. So if you staying in town after the wedding, we will be a phone call away and would love to get together!

One of our most memorable first dates out was to celebrate AJ's 30th birthday a little early before he traveled to Lubbock to see his family. We got a little lost searching for Dobbin's Lookout, and the cupcakes got squished, but the sunset was still beautiful. It has become a fond memory for both of us. We were lucky to find Secret Garden at South Mountain, a 1929 historic home, has become a wedding venue and booked it immediately.

During the ceremony, we have hired a professional photographer to capture all the moments. After the ceremony, feel free to take any pictures you would like.

There are two portals at the venue. Ingress to your heart's content as long as you keep it green! 💚
