AvantGarden

As a lesbian couple looking to get married in Houston, we had several other queer couples recommend Avant Garden. We loved the idea because we both have history at the venue, growing up going to shows there and performing there in our 20s. Mariana really knows what she's doing and takes care of her couples. We had an aesthetic vision that was a little non traditional and a very non traditional ceremony, but that was no obstacle for Mariana and the team at Avant Garden. Our wedding went off without a hitch and was the most beautiful day of our lives! We catered with the taco truck which everyone loved, & Mariana found an incredible group of all women mariachi singers to serenade our guests during cocktail hour. I've never seen the venue more beautiful and it was surreal making such unforgettable new memories there. Mariana was always so respectful and welcoming of our ideas. Even the DJ the venue used was incredible and all of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. For the most Montrose wedding ever, we cannot recommend Avant Garden enough. Couples are so taken care of and the venue covers so much more than other venues do, like flowers, dj, food, bar, dessert, decor, and there's room for couples to easily book other vendors like we did for our photo booth. And all of it one of the most affordable options we found in Houston! Thank you Mariana and Avant Garden for the best day of our lives!

We celebrated our wedding at Avant Garden on Feb. 7th and everything was amazing! Mariana helped us plan everything from decor to dinner and drinks. The whole process was relaxed and she really took the time to take our vision and make it a reality. The whole staff at the venue was incredibly kind, helped us stay on schedule, and took care of us from start to finish. It was a dream. Thank you, Avant Garden!

There is no other place to celebrate your most important day! Highly recommend🤩

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.

A classic if you're an independent artist or an upcoming entrepreneur and you're looking for a venue, possibly to have an event or to network on a Wednesday or Thursday. Well looks like it used to be an old house or like it comes off the movie charmed or something. Well it is H-Town charm. A lot of humble beginnings happens here for a lot of Houston's taste makers. The owner very well. Appreced for this respected flutter's around inconspicuously as she blends in. If you make impression she will contact you or maybe even elaborate it. She supports the community in ways go on spoken and advocate and Ally of the Arts. Avant's garden is truly indeed that gem. My favorite night is Wednesday. You can find all the '90s hits from local hopping DJs casually. Pull up and give a vibe now. A DJ on the first floor, a DJ on the second floor and one outside on the patio when I tell you. In the summertime vibes, Wednesdays and Thursdays now in the winter. Depending if the weather permits it could be a turn up. I would say perfect for after the date if you like him- her.
