    This place was simply beautiful. We got married here two weeks ago and everything was so dreamy. Jaime was my wedding coordinator and wow!!!! I love her so much. Having her by my side through my wedding planning was so helpful, she made sure any stress I had she would find away to help. Her and Tina went above and beyond the day of our wedding. They're so great. The venue speaks for itself but the staff is what made it such a memorable experience. So impressed with our experience, if you're looking for a beautiful venue to impress your guest with a great staff look no further! Wishing them so much success and sending a hug from yelp jaime! Thank you again for everything!

    We had our wedding at Brownstone Gardens in May this year (2023) and it was an absolutely perfect venue for us. Here are some of our key takeaways: - We had a 150+ person wedding and it never felt too crowded. - We receive so many compliments about the garden from our guests. The cocktail hour/dance floor area is gorgeous and makes you feel like you're out of this world. - The gardens are beautifully maintained. So much greenery, flowers, and real grass. - The day of coordinators (Jaime and Tena) were a dream to work with. They were incredibly nice, organized, and I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of. - (Mostly) all inclusive - it took the away the stress of planning lots of little details. The catering, drinks, and many items that are normally rentals were bundled together. - Price point: completely reasonable for what you get aka a beautiful property. We can not recommend Brownstone enough. It was literally the perfect place to have a wedding. (Note: we visited over 20 different venues in the Bay Area before finding BG. Once we saw it, we made the decision that day to have our wedding there)

    Everyone loved Brownstone! One of our guests even wrote it in our guestbook.

    Our wedding was on 10/14/22 and it was absolutely perfect. Looking back on the wedding planning process and the actual wedding day, my husband and I agree that choosing Brownstone Gardens as our venue was the absolute best decision we made. I could go on forever about how amazing everything was, but some key highlights for couples considering Brownstone as their wedding venue: -The grounds are GORGEOUS, especially at night. Honestly photos don't even do the space justice. Everything is well-maintained and immaculate, with the garden lush and in full bloom from April to October. But the space really comes alive when the sun goes down and all the lights come on. One word: VIBEY. You don't even really need to worry about decor; the place is so beautiful on its own. -Everything was EASY. Brownstone staff are all pros. I worked with Tena and Jaime, and they were so communicative, patient, and so sweet. I dropped off my decor the day before, and on the day of everything was set up beautifully. I didn't have to worry about a single thing come wedding day. You can really trust them to execute. -The food was DELICIOUS. Wilma Lott is their preferred caterer and they delivered. Juicy chicken, tender steak, perfectly fluffy buttery potatoes! Everything was cooked to perfection and we got so many comments from guests saying they loved the food. -Compared to other wedding venues in the Bay Area: AFFORDABLE. Also their payment plans are uncomplicated. Give your approximate guest count, they give you a quote, divide that quote by the number of months until your event, and that's your monthly payment. It was so nice to be able to spread payments out over time. I personally have not attended any fully-outdoor weddings before and having ours here felt very unique. Not only that, but coming out of a pandemic, it felt safer having the event in open air. The weather was perfect on our day, and everything flowed without a hitch. Our guests were wowed by the venue. I'll always remember dancing under the night sky, among Brownstone's lush garden and gorgeous lights. Brownstone Gardens was the perfect venue for our best day ever and we'll remember it forever.

    Brownstone, where do I begin? Thank you for giving us the wedding of our absolute dreams, and a night that we will remember for the rest of our lives. My wife and I chose Brownstone to host our wedding early in 2020 after visiting the grounds and speaking with Barbara, Brownstone's manager. Even though it was quite out of the way, the venue itself was beautiful, and Barbara gave us confidence that she could take care of business. Then the pandemic hit--and our wedding was delayed for a year. But we stuck with Brownstone, and boy, are we glad we did. Prior to our wedding night, we had never seen Brownstone at night (only in photos)... but actually seeing it at night, it was absolutely magical, and more beautiful than we could have imagined. The night went flawlessly--from the ceremony in the courtyard, to the sunset shots, to dinner under the lights, to desserts and dancing at Bridal Falls. We had guests with kids, so we ordered the Kids Package, which included a bouncy castle, face painting, and pizza for the little ones, and they loved it. Barbara made sure everything was taken care of, and it absolutely was. Thank you Brownstone, and Barbara, for a magical night that we will remember forever.

    I run a photobooth business and was booked for a wedding held here tonight. The moment I arrived, Barbara greeted me in a disrespectful manner: "Who are you?!" she yelled with a face that couldn't be more disappointed. "I'm here to set up the Photobooth" and she goes on to say "I DIDNT KNOW UNTIL THIS MORNING THAT A PHOTOBOOTH WAS COMING!"... and that's my fault why? And it's nothing to stress about considering there was plenty of space? I was booked months prior to tonight by my client, discuss it with her not me. Then she was so condescending from here on out saying "Do you even have a backdrop? Or extension cords?! You might blow out the power because there's a DJ too! And if that happens it's your fault!" I'm thinking OF COURSE I DO, ITS A PHOTOBOOTH BUSINESS so just show me where to set up! My contract WITH MY CLIENT states all my requirements from power to space, something that should be discussed with her not me. It's like asking her "does your venue have room for tables and chairs?!" Then she goes "feather boa's aren't allowed! You're making a mess!" I was not aware of that rule, I'm just there to provide Photobooth services. The boa's were part of the props that my client purchased, take it up with her. Since I do have to give at least one star, it goes to the amazing bar tenders, Blanca and Enrique! They were a joy! However, Barbara was chewing out Enrique out in the open where clients could see! Be a little more professional and take it elsewhere. I've never felt so disrespected by any venue/vendor/person in my entire career! While the grass may look greener on the other side, don't forget about the manure that was used to grow it. Barbara shouldn't work in the HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT industry because she lacks exactly that, HOSPITALITY.

    Cheers!

    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! This is a startling surprise tucked away on a fairly non-descript road. The venue is gorgeous and well cared for. The care and attention to detail is very obvious as you walk around the grounds and notice the thoughtful plantings and unobtrusive lighting. The staff that was on hand for the event that I attended was on point. The event manager ran a tight ship. She was always present and made sure that everything went off without a hitch.

    You definitely want to see Brownstone Gardens if you are looking for an amazing Wedding Venue!!! My hubby and I just got married here in August and everybody that attended commented that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they have ever attended. You will love the staff and the venue wedding coordinator Tena. She is absolutely amazing and so easy to work with! She made our day perfect and I never had to worry about anything - she just handled it!!! We could not say enough about this venue!!!

    The dance floor and the lights were amazing!
    Brianna K.

    We got married 4/9/22 at brownstone! We did an elopement package. Everyone was amazed at how beautiful Brownstone was. Unlike the review below, Barbara was a huge help with our wedding! She executed my timeline for the wedding, from the start to end, gave us some tips and tricks with her many years of experience. My husband and I literally said after the wedding how thankful we were that Barbara kept us on track and she even set up our decorations before any of my family arrived to set up! Barbara in the nicest way possible is straight forward, but that is what is needed when there is a whole bunch of people running different directions trying to execute a whole wedding. I would highly recommend Brownstone and their staff.

From the very beginning, she worked seamlessly alongside Kendra and her team to coordinate every single detail to perfection. The entire day felt effortless on our end because Rene had everything completely under control. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking--our lakefront ceremony on-site was stunning and set the tone for the entire celebration. Guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful and serene it was. From there, the night just kept getting better. We had an incredible violinist (who even performed with Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl!) which added such a unique and elevated touch. Our grand entrance with cold sparklers was unforgettable and felt like something straight out of a movie. And then--our Glambot moment! It truly felt like we were at the Oscars, and our guests had an absolute blast with it. To make things even more unforgettable, our Frenchie was our flower girl and made a grand entrance in a Porsche kids ride-on car, completely stealing the show. And as if that wasn't enough, our 100lb Sulcata tortoise was our ring bearer--yes, really! Rene handled all of these unique details flawlessly like it was just another day at the office. Dinner was elegant and delicious, perfectly plated and timed, and the cocktails were amazing--our guests loved that the bar stayed open all night. Rene also did an incredible job keeping the energy up and guests engaged from start to finish. There was never a dull moment. We've had countless guests tell us it was "the wedding of the century," and we owe so much of that to Rene. If you're looking for someone who will execute your vision flawlessly and create an unforgettable experience, she is the one!

Hit the trees of the venue with her truck. Brought the wrong cake stand so I sent $220 for a cake table and had to use the cardboard from the baker. My flowers had awful metal pieces and zip ties on them. I was embarrassed of what I had for my wedding party. Let alone my colors had gold and she put silver all over everything. Then she didn't show up to pick up her stuff at the time she said she would the following day and asked me to keep them another day, even though I'm out of state. If you want your wedding to go wrong, she's definitely your girl. Too bad zero stars aren't a thing.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Andrea for an extravagant, Wicked-themed birthday celebration at the Grand Bay Hotel in San Francisco. As a DJ, I've been part of my fair share of complex productions--but this event? This one had layers. We're talking immersive design, multiple performances, theatrical moments, choreographed timing, lighting cues, and the kind of attention to detail that would make Broadway stage managers sweat. And yet--through every twist, change, last-minute curveball, and behind-the-scenes chaos--Andrea stayed calm, composed, and genuinely joyful. That smile never left her face. It wasn't just impressive; it was inspiring. What struck me most was Andrea's emotional intelligence and natural leadership. She wasn't just checking off a list--she was reading the room, checking in on vendors, comforting the family, and still had the foresight to ensure every beat of the evening landed with intention. For us as DJs, a successful event relies heavily on the planner's clarity, timing, and communication. Andrea excelled at all three. Her cues were crystal clear, her flexibility never compromised the bigger picture, and her collaboration felt seamless. It's rare to find someone who can hold both the creative and logistical sides of event production in perfect harmony. Andrea is that rare gem. And beyond the work, there's a real human connection there--a warmth that draws people in, makes vendors want to go above and beyond, and creates the kind of synergy that guests can feel, even if they don't see it. After this event, I'm not only grateful--I'm inspired. I genuinely hope to work with Andrea and Mia Emma Love Events more in the future. I believe that if we continue to collaborate, we could create experiences that are unforgettable, meaningful, and consistently next-level. Andrea, thank you for the trust, the kindness, the professionalism, and for being exactly the kind of event partner every creative hopes for. I'm honored to have been a part of this one--and I'm already looking forward to the next. With deep appreciation, DJ Brandon Beach
