The setting
“I love the koi, the manicured grounds, bridge, the trees and plant.”
“The Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a beautiful spot if you are looking for a peaceful walk surrounded by Japanese foliage and well-maintained landscaping.”
“We got the ability to feed the koi fish and so there are many locations including bridges and small delta to the pond where you can hand feed the koi if you preferred.”

From the reviews
Beautiful place. Once you enter, you are transported to a tranquil garden. You forget that you are in the middle of a busy university. If you attend CSULB or just in the area, this Japanese garden is must visit spot. You can easily spend a good hour just watching the fish 🐟.
Getting married at Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden
Earl Burns Miller Japanese 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.
