the secret of
BROWNSTONE
GARDENS
MADE WITH LOVE
the beautiful brownstone gardens
Over 20 years ago, the Wiemholt family poured their hearts into creating Brownstone Gardens, a true labor of love that has since become a cherished part of the Oakley community and Contra Costa County.
As they lovingly crafted each section of the garden, they watched their daughters begin their own journeys of love and commitment. Inspired by those heartfelt milestones, they opened their home to the public, inviting others to experience the beauty and magic of a garden celebration in its purest form. Brownstone Gardens proudly grew into a family-owned, interracial small business rooted in the heart of the Bay Area.
Over the years, Brownstone Gardens has become woven into countless love stories, its beauty ever-growing. Now, with new ownership by the Bains family, we are thrilled to continue this legacy, serving the community and celebrating life’s most meaningful moments!
"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."
