From the reviews
Avanti was beyond amazing. Raquel answered all my questions, tried to accommodate all my crazy ideas, but also gave me honest feedback about what would be best without making me feel dismissed.
A huge shout out to Raquel and the staff who helped bring our dream wedding to life. The Avanti Mansion and staff went above and beyond to help make our day as stress free as possible. From little visits at the mansion to detail the day out, to making sure our itinerary for the day went along as smooth as possible.
We had the most beautiful wedding reception at Avanti Mansion thanks to Raquel and the rest of the staff. Everybody is still telling us that the venue was gorgeous and it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had!! Raquel was an absolutely incredible wedding planner and we could not have pulled it off without her.
My husband and I got married at Avanti mansion (Sept 2024) and we cannot say enough AMAZING things about Avanti and their amazing staff!!!! The venue itself has three different venue spaces, each one more beautiful than the next! We got married at the garden venue and it was stunning!!!
Getting married at Avanti Mansion
Avanti Mansion comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Avanti Mansion
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Avanti Mansion — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
