I had the honor of getting married at the gallery! The wedding was better than anything I could have imagined and Ms. Laura was like my Fairy God Mother on my big day. She and and her husband went above and beyond to ensure my guests and I had a wonderful evening. All my guests complimented the artwork, decor and Ms. Laura's attentiveness on every detail that night. If you are thinking of having an intimate and romantic wedding Akwaaba Gallery is definitely a must!

What a wonderful time we had on opening night at this place!!!! Viewing the lovely display of art work, meeting the local artists and mingling with the hundreds of guests who flowed in and out throughout the evening to celebrate the event. Akwaaba Gallery is a beautiful, spacious, quiet retreat in Newark, which is easily accessible by public transportation, with ample street parking. It is a lovely space to hold an event and I bet it will be in great demand once the word spreads. Congratulations to the owners Laura and Ray! I truly look forward to attending many future art shows and events here.
