Curated Experiences for Elevated Occasions
An Elevated Alternative to Traditional Event Venues
The Hangar is an Orlando airplane hangar event venue that feels private, spacious, and immediately memorable. Instead of working within the limits of a ballroom or banquet room, guests enter an aviation environment with open architecture, dramatic scale, and room for a fully customized experience.
More Open Square Footage Than Almost Any Central Florida Venue
Large events need space that can support movement, production, dining, entertainment, and a strong arrival moment. The Hangar offers the kind of open floor plan that is difficult to find in Central Florida outside of a hotel or convention center, making it a strong option for events with ambitious layouts or larger guest counts.
A Premier Blank Canvas Designed for Turnkey Event Transformations
The venue was made to be transformed. From refined lounge settings and custom staging to branded displays, floral installations, lighting design, and immersive decor, the space can be shaped to match the event’s tone.

Choosing Your Space: Hangar 9 vs. Hangar 11 Venue Specs
The Hangar offers two distinct spaces, giving planners flexibility based on the size, format, and overall vision of the event. Whether the goal is an intimate reception or a large-scale experience, each hangar provides a clean, open setting with the character and scale of a private airport environment.
Hangar 11: 20,000 Sqft of Open Floor Space (200′ Wide by 100′ Deep)
Hangar 11 is the larger venue option, offering approximately 20,000 square feet of open floor space. At roughly 200 feet wide by 100 feet deep, it can accommodate grand receptions, large seated layouts, entertainment stages, vehicle displays, branded installations, and events that require space to build something substantial.
Hangar 9: 6,000 Sqft Design for Intimate Cocktail Parties & Receptions
Hangar 9 offers approximately 6,000 square feet of unique event space, making it well-suited for smaller receptions, cocktail-style gatherings, executive events, and more focused private functions. It still delivers the distinctive atmosphere of an airplane hangar, but in a footprint that feels more contained and tailored.
One Wall Composed of a Giant Retractable Door for Open Airflow
One of the most distinctive features of the venue is the large retractable hangar door, which opens toward the tarmac and brings an impressive sense of scale to the guest experience.
Industrial “White Everything” Open Architecture to Highlight Production
The Hangar’s clean, white interior provides planners with a versatile foundation for lighting, decor, branding, projections, and custom installations. Its industrial event space adds texture without overpowering the event design, allowing each production to take on its own identity while still benefiting from the venue’s unmistakable setting.
Unmatched Capacity for Grand-Scale Corporate Functions
The Hangar is built for events that need room to move, gather, present, dine, and celebrate without feeling confined. Its open layout gives planners the flexibility to design the experience around the audience.
Reception-Style Events That Accommodate Up to 1,500 Guests
For reception-style events, The Hangar can accommodate up to 1,500 guests, depending on the final layout and production plan. The space allows for lounge areas, food stations, bars, entertainment, branded displays, and natural guest flow throughout the evening.
Seated-Style Events: Spaced Banquets & Dinners for Up to 800 Guests
For seated banquets and dinners, The Hangar can accommodate up to 800 guests. This makes it an excellent fit for galas, award ceremonies, company dinners, and formal programs that require a polished layout with room for staging, service, and guest comfort.
Plenty of Room for Massive Staging, LED Video Walls & Scenic Installations
The scale of the venue supports production elements that would overwhelm many traditional spaces. Large stages, LED video walls, scenic builds, custom entry moments, sponsor displays, and performance areas can all be incorporated into the event environment without compromising the overall layout.
Unforgettable Client Receptions, Charity Galas & Product Launches
The Hangar is especially suited for events designed to make an impression. Client receptions, charity galas, product launches, and corporate milestones can be shaped around the venue’s distinctive aviation setting.
Immersive Aviation Entertainment & Enhancements
Beyond its scale, The Hangar offers access to event enhancements that create a true sense of occasion. From aircraft and specialty vehicles to entertainment, lighting, and hospitality support, the venue can be tailored with details that make the experience feel polished, memorable, and unmistakably connected to its setting.
Unique Decor Integrations: On-Site Aircraft, Classic Cars & Motorcycles
Aircraft, classic cars, motorcycles, and other specialty displays can be incorporated into the event design to create a striking visual environment. These elements work especially well for brand activations, VIP receptions, photo moments, and events that call for a strong sense of arrival.
Take Flight: Coordination of Thrilling Helicopter Rides for Guests
For select events, helicopter ride experiences may be coordinated as part of the overall event concept, subject to availability, approvals, safety requirements, and operational guidelines. This type of enhancement gives guests an unforgettable aviation moment that goes far beyond a standard venue experience.
Cutting-Edge A/V Setup: In-House Entertainment, DJs & Synchronized LED Shows

The Hangar is a strong option for planners hosting meetings, conventions, and corporate programs near Orlando’s major event corridors. Its airport setting offers the privacy and scale of a standalone venue, while still keeping guests within convenient reach of the city’s hotels, convention activity, and transportation routes.
Conveniently Situated Just Minutes East of the Downtown Orlando Core
Located at Orlando Executive Airport, The Hangar places guests close to the heart of the city while offering a setting that feels distinctly removed from standard downtown venues. This balance gives planners the benefit of accessibility without sacrificing privacy, space, or atmosphere.
Under a 20-Minute Drive from the OCCC & International Drive
For convention-related events, The Hangar is typically less than a 20-minute drive from the Orange County Convention Center, International Drive, and surrounding hotel districts. This makes it a practical off-site venue for receptions, client events, sponsor experiences, and private corporate gatherings.
On-Site Free Parking Infrastructure for Group Travel Convenience
Guests have access to complimentary on-site parking, helping simplify arrival for local attendees, corporate groups, and event staff. The venue can also support coordinated transportation plans for larger groups arriving from hotels, conference centers, or private meeting locations.
Tarmac Buses Delivering Attendees Directly to the Hangar Threshold
For large events, bus drop-off can be coordinated directly on the tarmac, creating an efficient and memorable arrival experience. Guests are brought directly to the hangar entrance, helping manage flow while reinforcing the distinctive aviation setting from the moment they arrive.
Private Event Booking Policies & Exclusions
The Hangar is reserved for select private events that align with the venue’s operational requirements and event standards. Each inquiry is carefully reviewed to ensure the event format, guest experience, logistics, and compliance requirements are appropriate for the space.
Tailored Exclusively for Invitation-Only Corporate, Trade Show & Non-Profit Groups
The venue is best suited for private corporate functions, convention-related gatherings, client receptions, nonprofit events, award ceremonies, brand activations, and invitation-only experiences. This selective approach helps preserve the quality, privacy, and professionalism expected from an airport-based event venue.
Strict Compliance Standards Under FAA & GOAA Rules
Because The Hangar operates within an airport environment, all events must follow applicable FAA and GOAA (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority) requirements. These standards help protect the venue, guests, airport operations, and event partners while ensuring each experience is managed responsibly.

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.
