About Avant Gardner
All of the spaces can be combined to give guests several unique environments in which to celebrate weddings, and each space can be used in a variety of different ways. Send us a message and we will put together a package that is perfect for you and your guests. Avant Gardner’s indoor arena boasts three different-sized rooms, each with unique accouterments that range from oversized chandeliers to stained glass and motorized rigs.
“This is a key element to the concept because it allows us to create a path for artists to grow in the market as their careers thrive and their fanbases expand,” says head of programming, Kenny Schachter. “Artists that play the King’s Hall often come back the following year and play the Great Hall, and continue growing toward our largest stage, The Brooklyn Mirage.”
The latter boasts immersive 360-degree visuals, which are cast against winding staircases and balconies. Thus the exteriors of Avant Gardner bear the visage of a palace — a stark contrast to the structure’s blue-collar beginnings.
