As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to work at many beautiful venues, and Brownstone Gardens in Oakley is truly special. The property is absolutely gorgeous, with so many beautiful spaces and natural backdrops that photograph beautifully.
What stood out to me just as much as the venue itself was how genuinely caring and involved the owners are. The husband-and-wife team who helped coordinate the wedding were wonderful from start to finish. They were attentive, accommodating, professional, and clearly invested in making sure the couple and their guests had an incredible experience.
You can tell that this isn’t simply a venue—they genuinely care about the couples who celebrate here and take pride in their property. That makes such a difference, not only for the couple but for all of the vendors working alongside them.
For couples looking for a beautiful, romantic property with a warm, personal experience and owners who truly care, I would absolutely recommend taking a look at Brownstone Gardens. It’s a gorgeous setting for a wedding, and I would be happy to photograph here again.

Our micro wedding at brownstone gardens was a dream come true! The process of booking and planning was seamless from the start, the price was just right and working with Tena was amazing! She made all the things I was stressed about feel like no big deal and was constantly willing to support our needs as they changed. Highly recommend this beautiful venue and their amazing team!
Beautiful venue and a great layout for DJs. Easy access to all 3 major locations and the staff there is amazing! Make sure you book early because they dates go fast!
The wedding we had was amazing and effortless with the help of Jaime, her experience and communication skills were what made everything worth it. With her help we were able to have an amazing ceremony and reception. She went above and beyond and we are forever grateful.
My sister and I hosted an event here this past weekend, and it was such a beautiful experience. The setting is absolutely stunning — the greenery, peaceful atmosphere, and intimate feel made it the perfect backdrop for our event. Raman, the owner, was amazing to work with from start to finish: kind, accommodating, and so supportive. We’re so grateful we had the opportunity to host our event in such a special space. Highly recommend!
Me and my husband just got married in May at Brownstone Gardens and it was absolutely the most amazing day of our lives and it couldn’t happen without the help from Jaime and the rest of the team at Brownstone Gardens. Everyone was always so kind and understanding, always kept very good communication and respond fairly quick to any questions or concerns we would have. Truly made our whole planning and the day of experience as easy as one can have planning a wedding they were very welcoming and understanding with everything we had brought to them and was more than willing to work with us with our culture, vendors, family, and everything else that came along with the day. We especially really appreciated Jaime she had helped us most being our coordinator she was a rockstar and made all our dreams and visions come true, one of the sweetest most understanding women we had ever met. The venue also itself is beautiful and not too expensive at all compared to other venues we had looked at. Definitely would do any form of special event there and amazing for photos! We are truly blessed and thankful for everything we received and had help with for our wedding day and will definitely always keep in mind with happiness Brownstone Gardens.
