Cool Womens Hairstyles Pictures

OVERVIEW

Brownstone Gardens in an "outdoor only" venue located just outside the city of Oakley, CA. This is one of the most unique wedding venues that I have had the pleasure of photographing.
The site fee is very reasonable, there is ample parking and the venue does have a bridal room for the bridal party to dress and wait for the ceremony to begin.
The venue has three distinct areas: The Grand Court, The Koi Garden and Bridal Falls. Guests have use of the entire property if you are having both your wedding and reception there.

Tables,chairs, linens,set up,clean up,and a wait staff in uniform are included with your catering package. You can upgrade chairs and linens for an additional fee. I would strongly advise the use of a DOC (Day of Coordinator) for this venue as they do not provide someone to help you to navigate through your wedding day.

Weddings generally take place in the Grand Court (see pictures), which is lovely.

Bar services include wine and beer only.You may bring your own wine, beer, and champagne, but you must hire an insured bartender. The venue is happy to assist you with finding vendors from officiants to DJs and everything in between.

PROS:
Lovely location with lots of foliage and plenty of room for guests to roam around and mingle.

Very reasonable prices.

CONS:
It can get very hot in the Grand Court area during the summer. There is little to no protection from the direct sun.I suggest having chilled bottled water available to guests. I would also advise you to bring your elderly guests into the Grand Court area just before the ceremony, so that they are not sitting in the hot sun on summer wedding days. There is plenty of shaded area where guests can wait adjacent to the Grand Court.
