From the reviews

We had our Wedding at Aoki and couldn't have been more pleased with the turnout. It worked perfectly for the sudden rain to be able to move everything inside right after the ceremony but I was still able to ride my motorcycle around to the patio for the groom entrance.

★★★★★ — Jason, May 2025

When we got engaged in March of 2023, we had no idea how lucky we would get finding Aoki Event Garden. We knew we wanted something cool and casual with tacos, beer and dancing but something that wouldn't break the bank.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, Oct 2023

Aoki Event Garden is such a hidden gem! We toured this venue in the middle of winter while they were under construction as well! Our morning ceremony was so beautiful beginning of June, we didn’t even need any signs or decor. The landscape patio is exactly what we wanted for our photos as well.

★★★★★ — Diamond, Jun 2023

We had our wedding here a couple weekends ago and it was amazing! Rita and Joi are so fun and easy to work with. We had a couple other vendors come for catering, snacks, etc. and everything went smoothly with communication and coordination. I would recommend this place to everyone interested, it's definitely worth it!

Getting married at Aoki Event Garden

Aoki Event Garden comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
