    Truly the best!

    If I could give 10 stars, I absolutely would! I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with AvantGarden and Mariana. From our very first meeting to our grand exit through the sparklers, every detail was handled seamlessly. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Mariana made the entire process feel effortless. She coordinated everything and connected us with incredible vendors - from florals, desserts, catering, waitstaff, DJ, jazz band, and even a fire dancer. Every recommendation exceeded our expectations, and having someone I trusted manage all the moving pieces was invaluable. People constantly asked if I was stressed leading up to the wedding, and I could honestly say I wasn’t. As someone who is very Type A and detail-oriented, that says everything. Mariana listened to every vision and idea I had, brought it to life, and offered thoughtful suggestions from her years of experience that made everything even better than I imagined. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking…so unique, romantic, and unlike anything else. It was the perfect backdrop for our wedding. It can be difficult to trust someone with one of the biggest days of your life, but I can wholeheartedly say that choosing AvantGarden and Mariana was one of the best decisions we made. If you’re considering this venue, don’t hesitate. You will be in the best hands

    Best day ever!!!

    If you’re considering having your wedding at AvantGarden, DO IT!!! Easiest decision to make in your wedding planning journey. Everything from start to finish was so simple and easy. Mariana is a mastermind, so experienced and on top of everything. Planning was easy … we did a couple of meetings, a few emails and boom! It was all done! And day of, everything went off without a hitch. If there were any issues or problems, I had no idea. The decor and flowers were straight out of my dreams, everything was delicious. The DJ had the dance floor full the whole time. Our guests commented over and over about how beautiful it all was, how fun. I am so so happy with how everything turned out and cannot recommend AvantGarden enough!

    Down to a Science

    We had a perfect wedding here. Mariana made everything so easy to organize and prepare for. She removed so much stress from what I expected to be a more intense process. She really has it down to a science. All of our friends and family were blown away by it and still keep texting us about how great it was.

    Our perfect wedding at AvantGarden!

    Thank you to Mariana and her team for creating the perfect wedding and reception for us! Everything from the food, drinks, DJ, photographer, decor and beyond were absolutely amazing. We were pretty hands off on our planning and Mariana took care of everything for us. There really was nothing for me to stress about as I knew I was in good hands. It rained for a bit that day, but her team pivoted and made the whole night flow seamlessly regardless. Our guests are still raving about how that was the funnest night of their lives. The taco truck and pizza are incredible and the drinks were so delicious. The venue is beautiful and the indoor outdoor combination is unique and fun. Thank you again for helping us throw the perfect party!

    Lesbian wedding of the century

    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!
