    AvantGarden was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. They were superb communicators, primarily through email, which made the entire planning process very easy. Their friendly and helpful staff and coordinator provided many services as part of their packages, and they put together a beautiful event for us. The venue itself is great, with different areas for the different parts of the wedding, which allowed it to reflect both of our personalities. Compared to other high-end venues, AvantGarden offered all the same services at a fraction of the price. We couldn't have been happier with our experience at AvantGarden Houston.

  • Good overall experience!

    Many of our guests were out of towners and we wanted them to enjoy their time in Houston, our native city. When we visited AvantGarden we realized this would be the best fit for us, as we live in Chicago now. Not only the venue, a historic building, is stunning, but all the amenities they offer cannot be beat! Mariana and her team planned and coordinated our entire wedding. They were able to interpret our vision after only one meeting! We happily recommend this venue for anyone who is looking for an authentic place and a low stress planning process!

    We first discovered AvantGarden about 10 years ago during their Jazz nights on Mondays. When my husband proposed and we began our venue search, we were thrilled to find out AvantGarden also hosted weddings. We wanted a venue that captured our bohemian elegant-cosmo-party personalities, and AvantGarden fit the bill perfectly. We immediately stopped our search and booked a tour! Our experience booking and planning our wedding with the AvantGarden team was exceptional. We met with Mariana and Minerva a few times, and they seamlessly coordinated all the details. Minerva crafted my dream bouquet and a stunning flower crown. They made a lot of useful recommendations and even helped us design a jazzy cocktail menu!. The taco truck was incredible! We chose the all-inclusive package, which included a house DJ, a Jazz band, cake, desserts, and even a cigar bar! Our guest told us this was the best wedding they've attended The only downside was that the day went by too quickly. We wish we had booked the venue for extra hours!

  • An amazing wedding venue

    From the moment we toured AvantGarden, we knew this was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding (120 guests). The coordinator replied to our emails promptly and answered all of our questions efficiently and clearly. On the day of the event, we found everything set up beautifully - the DJ, bar, catering, desserts, cake, flowers, and all the decorations were exactly as we had envisioned. The staff took care of our every need with a smile, making our guests feel right at home. This uniquely charming, family-owned venue offers top-quality vendors at a very reasonable price. The taco truck catering and the delicious wedding cake were particular highlights. We highly recommend AvantGarden for its excellent service, value, and contribution to making our special day so perfect.
