From the reviews
Lovely garden! We had a wedding there and it was absolutely wonderful. Both the ceremony and reception were in the garden and we couldn't have been more pleased with how well everything went and how beautiful it was during both the day and evening.
Went to a special event; tea demonstration and entry to the garden. Had been pouring all day but stopped just in time. The tea ceremony was so beautiful and wonderfully presented! What a lovely oasis!
Getting married at Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden
Storrier Stearns 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.
