AvantGarden is a historic mansion and vintage-style wedding venue located in Houston, Texas.

Facilities and Capacity
When celebrating at AvantGarden, you can share your day with up to 200 guests. You are welcome to exchange vows outside in their one-of-a-kind garden for an intimate ceremony or say “I do” on the candle-lit back patio. At both event sites, the turn-of-the-century Kraft house will serve as your backdrop. For your cocktail hour, you can mingle with guests in the AvantRoom, the venue’s downstairs lounge. Another option, the front court and porch, is an ideal space for newlyweds to enjoy a variety of hors d'oeuvres with loved ones. The venue features fully stocked bars where those celebrating can enjoy wine, sangria, microbrewed beers, and premium liquors. Couples are even welcome to include their four-legged family members in their milestone events at this pet-friendly space.

History
This historic house is one of the last remaining Westheimer structures in Houston. It’s where Howard Hughes played as a child, and it eventually served as a halfway house before Mariana Lemesoff purchased it and repaired it twice. In 1996, it was The Mausoleum, a bar, live music and artistic venue, and in 2000, it was named Helios. Today, Avantgarden serves as a special event venue and Mariana delights in continuing to support artists in her community.
