"If having a mansion in the middle of Montrose to yourself sounds appealing for your wedding, AvantGarden is the way to go. Known for hosting live music, spoken word events, and burlesque shows, this bar and event space has been a community institution for years and transforms into a magical venue for weddings on weekends, complete with foliage and illustrious lanterns. The well-connected owner Mariana offers all-inclusive and customized packages to suit your needs, complete with her services as a wedding planner. The best part, though? The on-site taco truck, Taqueria El Palomo, is a fun and popular pick for reception dinners." - Brittany Britto Garley
