The ceremony was held in a beautiful area with a huge tree to provide shade for some of the guests. In another area, close by, there is also a pretty gazebo. Pretty roses and plants surrounding the whole area. At night, they have some string lights lit up around to provide a nice, cozy lighted area. They only have outdoor restrooms, but they are nice. It was a nice special day for the couple, along with their family and friends, to help celebrate this blessed occasion!

While they did not have what I was looking for, the employee that asked if I needed help directed me to a local store that may have it! He was very kind and welcoming and encouraged me to tour the garden which I did! G A R D E N It's large and super varied in plants and had many sculptures that were available for purchase too. There was even a small pond with koi fish! A very peaceful quiet place to enjoy nature, go for a walk, read a book on the various benches and tables in the garden, or hang out with a friend. E V E N T S They also have an event schedule online with sunset yoga and plant trade event but most events seem to require paid tickets. N U R S E R Y I do think the nursery was quite limited but it may be the timing of my visit? There wasn't many plant species but there was also some pots and some plants on clearance for 50%.

P A R K I N G There's plenty of parking straight down along the entry driveway which is a short asphalt entry followed by what looks like decomposed granite on soil so you won't end up with muddy or soiled shoes if it's raining!

I can definitely see why it's such a popular venue for weddings. Parking is very easy with a relatively spacious lot. It's handicap friendly. The GPS instructions were accurate. Be sure to check out their social media or call their number to stay up to date on weekend closures for private events before visiting. The wedding season is around March to November. Communication for event space rentals is by email only. During the wedding season they may a little slower to reply but they always did reply eventually. For weddings they tend to book out about two years in advance for weekends. If you ask about Fridays there may be some same year availability. As a non-profit they are a relatively affordable venue. Weddings require almost full day rentals. But something else like a baby shower or memorial can be rented out by the hour with a minimum time. They require a permit to be purchased for professional photos. But it's a modest price and goes to a good cause. It's $75/hour for the photo permit and for a garden use permit like a small gathering it's $300. Walnut Creek is lucky to have such a beautiful gem. I highly recommend checking them out!

I got married here in February 2026…read more My husband and I are pretty introverted, and as a bride, I lacked experience when it comes to party planning in general, so when it came to planning a wedding, I was a bit overwhelmed. However, Gather made the wedding event planning process so easy and seamless. I had trouble putting into words and images the vision I had for our wedding, but Maritza was able to do it with ease. From the decorations to the bar and food, everything came out perfectly. We were going for a mix of whimsical and modern, incorporating different shades of pink and blue because those are our favorite colors. In fact, on our first wedding planning meeting, I told Maritza that our vibe is like Taylor Swift's 1989 and Midnights albums together. We also had her husband, David, as our photographer, and he was amazing. I really wanted him to capture our quirky sides, and he delivered. I watched a lot of YouTube videos about what makes a good wedding. Usually, it is only the couple that remembers the wedding, but to this day, our wedding has been talked about by our family and friends. They appreciated the intimate setting and the little details, which, to be honest, were all possible by Maritza, David, and the Gather team. :)

She was so thorough in her communication, VERY hands on and supportive with vendors, and she ensured our event ran smoothly. For the venue space, there is one restroom and they provide a changing table which is PERFECT for our event. They arranged for bartender service and also helped cleanup and keeping the event tidy with making sure trash cans were managed, dirty glassware was constantly picked up, and venue amenities were running smoothly (music, lighting, fans, clean up). We utilized the parking in the back but it is metered so you have to keep an eye on the meter. However, it was extremely convenient to have for loading and unloading. They will be my go-to venue space going forward.
