Avant Garde Aleworks was a FANTASTIC venue to host an event!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We used them for our wedding welcome party, and it was truly the perfect space. We had La Cocina d...
e Mama food truck cater. It was the most convenient venue based on location, and with their space and offerings. The team at Avant Garde setup the space with many tables and seating areas on the patio, and had blankets available if people got chilly on the patio as the night went on. They made it so easy for us to come, have our party, and leave with minimal prep or cleanup. They let us bring decor items and welcome bags.
Their bartenders are super nice and attentive. Their beer and drinks are excellent.
We also found that their pricing was fantastic for the experience we had, especially compared to other locations in the area.
They're great, definitely book your event here!!

We had the Welcome Party for our wedding weekend at Avant Garde and it was perfect! We had about 160 guests attend, and there was more than enough space between the inside & patio....
The views are stunning, they had a great amount of seating, and of course the drinks were delicious (loved the Frozé). The staff were super helpful. They had the whole patio set up, played our music, and worked with the caterer to set up. Also a great price for that size group!
