Why Couples Love A Secret Place Wedding Venue
A Secret Place is a garden wedding venue in Jamestown, Missouri, offering couples a beautiful outdoor setting for both their ceremony and reception. Landscaped gardens, mature trees, glowing string lights and a covered reception tent give the property a relaxed, romantic atmosphere.

A ceremony surrounded by greenery can transition into dinner beneath the tent, and once the sun goes down, the string lights and gardens create an entirely different atmosphere for the reception and dance floor. I've had the opportunity to work weddings here as a DJ, so this guide combines a look at the venue with a few practical things I've learned about planning a smooth wedding day at A Secret Place.

Wedding DJ Services at A Secret Place
A Secret Place has distinct ceremony and reception areas, which makes thoughtful audio planning especially important. As a wedding DJ familiar with the venue, I can provide coverage from the ceremony through the final song of the reception while keeping each part of the day connected.
Ceremony Audio
Music for guest arrival, processional and recessional moments, along with wireless microphone support when needed so guests can clearly hear the ceremony.
Reception DJ & Emcee
Cocktail and dinner music, introductions, formalities, announcements and a dance floor built around the music you and your guests actually want to hear.
Lighting Options
Dance lighting and optional uplighting can complement the venue's existing string lights and make the tent feel even better once the sun goes down.

I've DJed Weddings at A Secret Place
There's a difference between knowing the name of a venue and actually having worked a wedding there. I've provided DJ services at A Secret Place and am familiar with the feel of the property and the flow between its ceremony and reception spaces.
At an outdoor wedding venue like A Secret Place, the DJ's job involves more than setting up beside the dance floor. Ceremony audio, cocktail hour, introductions, dinner, speeches, formal dances and open dancing all need to transition smoothly as guests move through the property.
Having firsthand experience with the venue helps me plan those transitions before your wedding day. I can arrive with a plan for the space and spend more time focused on your timeline, your music and your guests.

If A Secret Place is on your venue list—or you've already booked it—these are a few things worth thinking about as you build your wedding timeline.
Plan for separate ceremony audio
The ceremony and reception areas can require different audio setups. Decide ahead of time who is responsible for ceremony music and microphones.
Build sunset into your timeline
The gardens look fantastic as the lights begin to glow in the evening. Giving your photographer a little room in the timeline around sunset can be worth it.
Have an outdoor weather plan
Missouri weather can change quickly. Talk through rain, wind and temperature plans with your venue and vendors before the wedding day.
Let the tent transform after dinner
Once formalities are finished and the sun is down, the reception tent can shift from dinner space to party space very naturally. That's a great time to change the energy and open the dance floor.
