Small but Beautiful: Lauren & George’s Elopement at The Walled Garden
When you hear the word elopement, a registry office often comes to mind, but, there are other ways to elope!
Our Secret Garden Elopement Package is designed as a romantic alternative to a registry office wedding, for couples who want to keep things simple, but still special. Think a stunning garden setting, space to get some gorgeous photos, and a handful of loved ones by your side.
Elopement wedding options in Nottingham have often felt limited, and while a registry office suits many couples, we believe every love story deserves a setting filled with beauty and meaning.
Read on to discover Lauren & George’s intimate garden elopement, and everything included in our Secret Garden Elopement Package.

Lauren & George: A Glimpse Into their Elopement!
Thursday 24th July saw our first ever Secret Garden Elopement. When Lauren and George got in touch back in April, they didn’t want a celebration that would take over all their time and energy, but instead something small and beautiful.
Their day arrived on a July morning with the garden was in full summer bloom. Under the bandstand, surrounded by a small circle of their nearest and dearest, Lauren and George exchanged vows in a quiet, heartfelt ceremony.
They had a few celebratory drinks, ate canapes, cut their cake, tossed the confetti, and at 3pm, the taxi arrived to whisk them away to start their honeymoon, and the garden gently fell quiet again.

Their Day, In Their Words
“Sometimes the best things truly do come in small packages! We had always loved The Walled Garden and thought it was the most beautiful venue for a wedding, but a full-day celebration never quite felt right for us. When we discovered the elopement package, we knew it was the perfect way to have an intimate wedding in such a stunning setting.
The day itself was simply perfect. From enjoying that special bridal moment in the beautifully transformed cottage, to a relaxed yet heartfelt ceremony under the bandstand, speeches on the loggia, and a gorgeous afternoon tea. Every detail was thoughtful and made us feel like we had all the best parts of a wedding day, surrounded by our closest family.
Our celebration drew to a lovely close with a confetti arch, sending us off in the happiest way to begin our honeymoon.
We look back on our day with beaming smiles and the fondest of memories. We truly hope this package inspires other couples who are at a crossroads between wanting a smaller ceremony and still wishing for something truly special.
Finally, we can’t thank the team at The Walled Garden enough. They were supportive, kind, and ensured every part of our day felt effortless and in the safest of hands. Thank you for making our elopement so memorable and so special” - Lauren & George.
