My husband and I held our reception at Brownstone Gardens and it could not have been an easier or more organized experience. From our very first meeting, Barbara wowed us with her professional take-charge attitude. But what really won us over was the venue itself. An absolutely gorgeous plot with several unique areas for events and pictures.

The whole experience was wonderful and though I dont plan on getting married again, lol, it would be lovely to visit again for someone else's wedding!

Brownstone Gardens is a wonderful venue for a graduation and birthday party. We had our sons 18th birthday and graduation and it was amazing! Considering the time constraint we had KayKay and Barbara were very accommodating. They make it seem so easy. Barbara is very creative in coming up with layout and decor ideas. I really enjoyed deciding things with her. They were easy to reach and communication was always there. They are very flexible with what your vision of the event will be and truly try to make it happen. Also they have a good line up of vendors they collaborate with that make it even more special. We highly recommend Brownstone and looking forward to having another event there in the near future. Thank you KayKay and Barbara and staff for the most memorable night for our son. God bless.

I looked at several venues before touring this venue and instantly knew this was the one for us the moment we walked through the entrance. It was like entering a whole different world the moment you step foot onto the property. I loved how the drive there is kind of like being in the middle of nowhere and you have no idea what to expect. The greenery leading to the bridal falls was so beautiful. I love how the trees cover the whole space and the lights look so beautiful at night. We loved how the venue has different spaces to hold different parts of the wedding. There's so many different possibilities for each space. Our wedding coordinator was Barbara and there's nothing but amazing and great things that I can say about her! She cares about every bride and will turn all of their ideas into reality. My husband is in the military and she was also so flexible and understanding about every circumstance and every schedule I had. Also, this venue is military friendly and gave us a military discount! Towards the last few months before the wedding, I moved to SoCal and she worked with me and made sure everything was taken care of and that we were on the same page about everything. I had an idea for my ceremony entrance and even when it was never done before, she made it happen. This venue and Barbara is the reason I wasn't stressed about the wedding. All of our guests absolutely loved our wedding and were so amazed by the venue. I would recommend this venue to all of our family and friends and any bride! More...

We were contacted right away after reaching out, and we had an appointment on the books by the end of the call. They gave us a tour of their (beautiful) grounds, explained our options for each area, and walked us through the pricing plans. They are full service: from start to finish. They are not pricey, actually they are really well priced, especially for all they offer. Our budget is low but we are trying to figure out how to be able to work with them. We just felt really good about the whole experience. More...

Brownstone was the first in person venue we went and seen in 2015 after getting engaged. I had planned to shop around to view multiple venues but after seeing Brownstone in person we had made our decision. It gave me everything I was looking for in wanting an outside wedding for ceremony and reception. The options on how you plan your night and set ups are endless! They work with a great Bar vendor and have also catering vendors! which makes it that much more easier when planning, two less things to worry about! Barbara was our coordinator and was so diligent in everything she did which was such a blessing and helped tremendously!! She definitely has the experience you want in a wedding coordinator. Our wedding was such a Dream come true and I couldn't have made it anymore perfect! The entire process with Brownstone and Barbara was effortless. We have received soo many comments on how beautiful our wedding was and the venue was a huge part in that! More...

It was a very hot day yesterday, but with all the trees giving shade, it wasn't as bad. Everyone who attended seemed to have a blast. The DJ we hired said it was his first time there also.

Brownstone Gardens truly delivered the perfect place to celebrate one of the most important nights of our lives. From the spectacular staff and meticulously kept grounds, Brownstone was the perfect joining of venue and atmosphere that left our friends and family in the feeling of pure astonishment. Barbara and her staff were exceptional in keeping the reception moving and coordinating the logistics of having multiple vendors and a large guest count to manage. My wife and I were so confident in their work even leading up to the wedding that we never stressed about anything during our 5-hour celebration. And if not breaking a sweat during such a crucial moment in our life says anything, then I don't know what a higher recommendation is.Our coordinator, Barbara, was always communicative, fastidious of her work, and masterfully open to how we wanted our wedding to be fully imagined. She took our ideas, helped us out on what she has seen historically work, and executed them on our night without a hitch. Our table settings, wedding programs, dance floor, dueling pianos, bar, photo booth, ceremony seating, aisle décor, seating arrangement, buffet line, wedding cake, cupcake table, cocktail hour, theme colors, and lighting were just perfect. They took incredible care of us.Brownstone Gardens Estate itself is an oasis. It has a huge parking lot to accommodate a lot of guests. There’s a phone charging station. Having the extra bridal room was super useful when the bride and I had to change to our various outfit throughout the night. The living garden area where we had our ceremony is a fairytale setting. There was never a time when I looked away from my wife and I didn’t see one of our guests taking photos of the waterfalls or trees or lights, or at least incorporating focal points of Brownstone into their photos. We had our first look at the koi gardens which was also picturesque. The tree canopy in bridal falls is not only beautiful but keeps the temperature down. The day of our wedding the temperature was 95° at noon but under the canopy felt about 10° cooler, with that figure dropping rapidly as the night wore on. So, we planned our wedding to start later in the evening at 5pm to compensate. No big deal. By the time it was 8pm it was 70°. It still amazes me that given such a large complex and large group of people, the staff could easily move everyone from one part of the venue onto the next seamlessly.A lot of guests came up to us and complimented on how beautiful the wedding was. But honestly, when you have a place like Brownstone Gardens as the backdrop, they make it easy. More...

As a wedding vendor, we at American Vintage Rentals have provided vintage rentals and farm tables, for couples getting married here. Being located in Oakley, Brownstone Gardens is somewhat "off-the-beaten-path, so it might be considered a "destination wedding" venue? We found it to be a lovely garden venue, complete with waterfall and a multi-level, terraced patio, and trees filled with lights and lanterns. It offers a cool respite of shade with the water features on a hot, summer day, and the night spent under the lights seems like pure magic! Barbara was a delight to coordinate with, in creating the bride's vision for a guest sign-in area and picture-perfect farm tables for the guests! More...

My husband I got married here in July 2014. We had been shopping around for our wedding venue when we came across Brownstone Gardens and we immediately knew this was the place. My husband always says he never dreamed of being married in such a beautiful place. I really wanted and outdoor venue with twinkly lights....and man they have a bunch of twinkly lights. You would never expect such a magical place when you drive up to it. Everything about it is beautiful. All the staff were very helpful and especially Kay Kay, Diana and Barbara. These ladies worked with me through the planning up until the very end of the wedding day. They have so many great resources for different vendors and ideas to make your wedding amazing. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't of had the "A-Team" working my wedding. (photographers, Dj, Florist, Cakes, etc.) Not only were they very helpful during the planning process, but when it came to the wedding day, they were awesome. If something needed to be moved or this was a last min stressor or change, they were on top of it. They were quick, efficient, and professional. I will definitely recommend this venue to anyone I know getting married. It is simply gorgeous, and they are constantly updating their grounds (not like they need it because it is beautiful already) but they really strive to make every couple happy. I dont know how many compliments we got saying how beautiful the venue was. Great venue, great people, great resources. So happy we got married at Brownstone. They do other events there too... I may just have to think of another event to have just to go back. More...

I'm coming up on my third anniversary now, and our wedding was so beautifully handled that I still wish I could do it again. The staff was wonderful, especially Barbara, who came to the rescue when we realized the garter had been left at home (eeek!). They brought our meals directly to us so we didn't have to stand in line with everybody else, and kept fetching us more champagne every time our glasses emptied for the same reason. Other than the minor garter mishap, everything flowed together so wonderfully. A bride should never have to worry about anything on that special day, and the folks at Brownstone Gardens certainly know how to take care of things. (Invisibly, I might add. I hardly saw anyone other than Barbara)

The environment was magical, feeling like my own personal fairytale retreat. If I could do it again, I would definitely choose Brownstone Every. Single. Time.

I knew I wanted to get married here when I saw Discovery Bay Studios photos. We made an appointment with Barbara but had no idea how stunning it was until we saw it in person. We didn't look at any other venues & booked with Brownstone. It was the perfect fit. Our wedding day was beautiful we didn't have to worry about anything, they had everything set up perfectly & my stress was over once Barbara Dumont took over. They were super organized & such a professional staff. Everything flowed & nothing went wrong. I wasn't even home yet & had messages from friends & family that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Some said they have lived here for years and had no idea it was even there or how beautiful it was on the inside. Barbara got hurt right before the wedding & was in a boot, but it didn't stop her from making our dreams come true! Such an outstanding woman & such a beautiful venue.

On October 16, it had stormed miserably the whole week previously (unlike the previous October here in Oakley). Where I wanted the ceremony was flooded, my husband was upset and I have Jordan and the other gals there to console me and rectify the situation the weather had force us to face.
It was amazing - in combination with some creative people in my party, the ceremony was moved to a different area and still came together beautifully.
The passion they show for their guests is remarkable.
I appreciate everyone that is part of Brownstone and I would recommend them everytime, hands down.

It was suggested to me that I check this venue for my wedding by a close friend this past February. After emailing with Barbara and coming to see the venue in person my decision was made- this was the place. The venue is perfect for small and large events and has multiple areas for you to choose from. It is all outdoors so if you want coverage you'll need to have a separate vendor for tents, but it can be done. I had my wedding on November 5th, 2016. It was a risk we well understood because we decided to forgo any tenting. Luckily the weather was gorgeous, cool but not freezing. I had a morning wedding and arrived at the venue right before nine where I was directed to the Brides room where I was able to gather my bridesmaids, see family, and get in my dress. I could've come and used the room much earlier if needed and done everything to get ready there, they were more than accommodating in that regard. There's a good sized bathroom, a small fridge with water, a large mirror, and a lounge and a couple chairs which was more than enough since we weren't really doing much sitting anyway. Barbara was excellent, she met my needs for a smaller wedding and made sure everything went well. We had drawn up an outline for the day but she was always flexible with changing from that and was great at letting me know what time it was and what was planned next. My ceremony started at 10 and we immediately moved to the reception and everything ended at 2pm. It was wonderful.
My only negatives are that I wish I could've set the rehearsal date more than 30 days in advance and had it guaranteed, my coordinator changed twice, and I wish they hadn't cleared the food when we still had an hour left.
We used Ron as our DJ and he was amazing and easy to work with.
They took my decorations the night of the rehearsal and I didn't have to worry about a thing. All in all it was great.
