Bridal Shower · 150 guests · April 2026
Avant Garde Gallery is such a beautiful venue! We rented out both the upper and ground level for our wedding shower and it was the perfect space. Angela and her team were such a pleasure to work with! They went above and beyond, were very responsive, accommodating, and really took care of us throughout the whole process. We cannot recommend them enough!! The space really allowed us to bring the vibe we were envisioning throughout the setup and decor - we were getting compliments all night. The gallery is super spacious, bright, clean, and like nothing else you'd find in the city. We can't imagine having our party anywhere else. Thank you so much for everything, would love to host here again and again!
