The Secret Garden — Longwood

Instead of tiers with names, this garden sells layers: add photography, add video, add an hour. I like the honesty of that.

The Secret Garden in Longwood — up in Seminole County, where Orlando turns into old Florida — prices its elopements like a menu you build yourself. The base product, called Marry Me Now, is an officiant and a garden for $300. Add photography and it's $600. Add video too, $900. Or skip the arithmetic: complete packages run $1,200 for two hours and $1,500 for three.

Fine print, read aloud

Two fine-print items, because this guide reads fine print so you don't have to. The Marry Me Now prices carry per-guest fees on top, so the $300 headline grows with your headcount — get the all-in number for your actual list. And the 30-person cap counts everyone: couple, wedding party, children. Thirty sounds roomy until a flower girl and both families arrive.

City: Longwood, Florida

Guest count: Up to 30 people including the couple, wedding party and children

Outside catering: Guests personalize the day with their own catering — in the venue's words, “check with us to see what is allowable.”

Published prices: Marry Me Now: $300 officiant only / $600 with photography / $900 with photo & video (plus per-guest fees) · Complete packages $1,200 (2 hours) / $1,500 (3 hours)

Venue’s own website: The Secret Garden

And then there’s the catering line

The catering line is the other reason this venue earns its page: guests can personalize the day with their own catering, with the venue's sensible caveat to check what's allowable first. A garden, your own food, your own photographer if you want one — at these prices, that's a wedding that stays a wedding instead of becoming a production.
