Hangar 9: 6,000 Sqft Footprint Perfect for Cocktail Hours and Receptions
Hangar 9 offers approximately 6,000 square feet for more focused corporate gatherings. Its footprint works well for cocktail hours, executive receptions, client events, and smaller celebrations that still call for a distinctive setting.
Industrial “White Everything” Architecture Ready for Custom Layouts

Dynamic Event Decor: Backdrops Featuring Aircraft, Classic Cars & Motorcycles

Free On-Site Parking Lots for Maximum Convenience
Complimentary on-site parking helps simplify arrival for attendees, vendors, staff, and corporate groups. This added convenience supports larger guest counts while reducing the transportation challenges often associated with high-capacity venues and busy event districts.
Tarmac Shuttle Access: Bus Drop-Offs Directly at the Hangar Threshold
For larger groups, buses can be coordinated to drop guests directly at the hangar entrance via the tarmac. This creates a smooth, polished arrival experience that supports group transportation while making a memorable impression before guests step inside the venue.
Exclusive Private Corporate Booking Policies & Exclusions
The Hangar is reserved for private corporate and invitation-only events that align with airport operating requirements and venue standards. Each inquiry is reviewed carefully to ensure the event format, guest experience, transportation, production, and compliance needs are appropriate for this distinctive airport-based setting.

This selective approach helps preserve privacy, professionalism, and the elevated guest experience expected in an exclusive aviation event setting.

Because The Hangar operates within an active airport environment, all events must comply with FAA and GOAA (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority) requirements.

Crucial Restrictions: Why We’re Prohibited from Hosting Weddings or Proms

What Our Clients Are Saying
See how leading organizations and brands have transformed aviation hangars into extraordinary event venues.
aVenue Event Group is AMAZING to work with. Gina and Chloe, I can’t thank you both enough for all the hard work and dedication you both put into this event for us. It was such a pleasure from the first contact to get to work with you both. The great ideas and creativity all played a huge part in the success of our 1,000+ event. I have to also say, you both being able to accommodate all the timelines, last-minute updates, calls, changes – you name it, these two can adjust and come through exceeding all expectations – true professionalism. I have not only found my future party planners for many more corporate events, but also two amazing friends. Thank you does not seem to cover it!
Working with Chloe was a top-notch experience! I am located in Dallas and worked with her to plan an event in Florida in a venue I had never been to. She always made me feel like she was on my team and wanted to accomplish anything I needed to get done. She always responded quickly and with an answer. She stepped in on the day of the event in several ways and went above and beyond. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her support, and I appreciate everything. A special thanks to Chloe and to the rest of the Warbird Museum team!
Great experience for a corporate event for 300 people. The staff was extremely helpful from booking to the event. Will book there again.
Charlton and Gina were great to work with. They communicated effectively, were courteous and professional, and worked hard to make sure my event went off without a hitch. They went to bat with the venue for us, helped us keep costs down where we needed, and treated my clients like they were their own. If you need an on-the-ground production team in Orlando or need help putting on any event, I cannot recommend them enough.
