GB Wedding

My husband and I had our wedding at AvantGarden at the end of October 2025. After touring quite a few options in Houston, we knew that Mariana and her team were the ones we wanted to help us plan our big day. Mariana was very communicative throughout the entire process and has weddings down to an art. She has an endless list of local connections and trust us when we say to listen to her on the food and cake because people have not stopped raving about both months later. We had use of the entire venue from top to bottom and while we designed our own centerpieces, the team set everything up exactly as we had envisioned, incorporating the perfect floral shades and designs to give our wedding a classy gothic feel rather than turning it into a Halloween party that happens to have a wedding. We opted for mock-tails and non-alcoholic drinks and they were a big hit with us and our guests. The food truck on site was amazing as was the cake Mariana helped us order. The entire night went so smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about a single item and got to really enjoy our wedding and time with our guests. There aren’t enough words to express just how wonderful everything was and we cannot imagine how our day might have gone had we chosen any other venue. Truly a perfect experience.

Everything about AvantGarden is magical!! Mariana and her team are so thoughtful and made our wedding planning/party such a wonderful experience. They are extremely professional and made everything perfect even down to the smallest details. Mariana also gave me a lot of freedom when it came to decor, theme, and all around vibes. It’s not like you really have to do much because the venue itself is beautiful and everything we were looking for. You also have the ability to customize your wedding package to fit your needs/budget. 1000000/10 recommend

We very recently had our intimate wedding at the Avantgarden and my Wife and I honestly couldn't have asked for more. The venue is stunning as you will see in the photos below and made the whole day magical, from the ceremony itself to the unforgettable moments on the dance floor later in the evening! Mariana in particular was the coolest head in the building. No matter how many questions we fired at her, she always had time for us and made us feel like no matter the request, she was there to make it happen. She made planning a wedding (at times all the way from London) look effortless and we really couldn't have hoped for a better wedding planner, host and coordinator. That feeling transcended throughout the whole team at Avantgarden who were all so fun and engaging with guests (shoutout Cade for keeping my water on hand when the night got lively!) All of the guests were so incredibly impressed by how stunning the venue was, how friendly and efficient the staff were and how fantastic the extras like the onsite Taco truck and Mariachis (Mariana's personal recommendation) which made for some fantastic photos. If you are looking for a venue with bags of character, beautiful scenic areas for photos and a wonderful team to make your special day memorable then I cannot recommend the Avantgarden enough! We really were left wishing that the night would never end. Photography Credit: Madeline Brice Photography (@madelinebricephotos)

You've gotta have you next date night here. The hubub of the speakeasy downstairs started the excitement and walking upstairs to the performance area was too much fun. Dimmly lit, a little cold (on a winter night), and character oozing from the walls. AvantGarden feels like stepping back in time. The performance was captivating. The entire show existed in this fantastic balance of sexy, artistic and comedic. 10/10 would go again. Oh and they had NA beverages, if that's your thing

Mariana turned this place into our dream come true for our wedding reception. She absolutely puts all of herself into the little details. She was so kind and helpful in bringing out our vision and also on top of the timeline making everything run smooth all night long. We are so grateful for Mariana and the AvantGarden staff. 10/10 would recommend having any and all important events here.
