The Secret Patio started in the middle of a global pandemic when founders Anna and Evan, wanted to help couples affected by the Covid-19 pandemic to find a place for an intimate and beautiful solemnisation, at an affordable price.
Over the last year, The Secret Patio has hosted over 60 weddings and solemnisations with heartfelt appreciation from clients, who eventually also turned into friends. We pride ourselves on providing sincere and transparent service to all our clients.
Our Founders
Anna and Evan, also a couple, first started Knotz – a virtual wedding planner that helps couples find reliable wedding vendors at an affordable price. It started with external venue partnerships which became so popular that they eventually decided to start their own venue, with everything a couple needed to have at their wedding – all in one very attractive price tag. They are looking to expand their portfolio and acquire more venues to cater to the varying needs of their clients.
More about The Secret Patio
Located in the heart of Duxton Hill, there lies a hidden beautiful and insta-worthy event venue space suitable for intimate weddings, ROMs, corporate events, private parties and product launches.
It features classic European dome-style high ceilings, together with its iconic full height windows and stunning chandeliers. Psst! It also comes with a secret outdoor patio with romantic string lights, wooden deckings, and carpet grass for a small 10 pax garden wedding.
The Secret Patio also recently hosted its very first pop-up event – A Garden Pop Up Party during the September holidays. A fun little project with an intention to share our space to the public became a big success with over 200 sign ups and over 100 on the waitlist. With that in mind, we are planning for more pop-up events throughout the year with fun themes and concepts.
