FAQ
Event Hangars is a curated national platform connecting event hosts with exclusive airplane hangars that can be transformed into extraordinary event venues. Powered by aVenue Event Group, Event Hangars provides access to unique aviation spaces and professional event management expertise to help bring each event to life safely, seamlessly, and at the highest level.
Not in the traditional sense. Event Hangars is not a generic listing site. Each venue is part of a curated collection of aviation spaces that are either exclusively represented or professionally supported by aVenue Event Group. Our goal is to provide access to unique hangar venues while ensuring every event is managed with the proper planning, logistics, vendor coordination, and operational oversight.
Events are managed by aVenue Event Group or in coordination with trusted venue and aviation partners. aVenue brings extensive experience producing events in airplane hangars and other non-traditional spaces, with a focus on safety, logistics, hospitality, and turnkey execution.
Airplane hangars are ideal for corporate events, brand activations, product launches, convention receptions, experiential marketing events, galas, private receptions, automotive showcases, aviation-focused events, and large-scale hospitality experiences.
No. While hangars naturally offer an aviation-inspired setting, they can be transformed for a wide range of event concepts. These spaces are often used because of their scale, flexibility, dramatic architecture, and ability to create a highly memorable guest experience.
Airplane hangars offer a sense of scale, exclusivity, and impact that traditional venues often cannot replicate. Their open floor plans, high ceilings, aviation setting, and industrial elegance make them ideal for clients looking to create an unforgettable experience.
Yes. Our team will review your event goals, location preferences, guest count, production needs, timing, and overall vision to recommend the most appropriate hangar venue from our portfolio.
Helpful information includes your preferred city or market, event date or date range, estimated guest count, type of event, desired format, budget range, production needs, catering expectations, and any special requirements related to aircraft, vehicles, staging, entertainment, or transportation.
Many hangars can support extensive event production, including staging, lighting, sound, scenic design, catering, bars, lounges, branded installations, vehicle displays, and entertainment. Each venue has its own operational parameters, so our team helps determine what is feasible and manages the planning process accordingly.
Yes. Depending on the venue and client needs, aVenue can provide turnkey planning and production support, including catering coordination, rentals, furniture, lighting, audiovisual, entertainment, transportation, staffing, security, permitting, and onsite event management.
Vendor policies vary by location. Some hangars may have preferred or required partners, while others allow outside vendors with approval. Our team will help clarify vendor requirements early in the planning process.
Safety is one of the most important parts of hosting events in aviation environments. Our team works with hangar owners, airport operators, vendors, and clients to ensure the event plan accounts for guest flow, aircraft proximity, production logistics, fire code, insurance requirements, security, and operational restrictions.
In some cases, yes. Depending on the venue, aircraft availability, owner approval, airport regulations, and event requirements, aircraft may be incorporated as a visual feature or backdrop. This is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Event Hangars is primarily focused on corporate events, brand activations, convention receptions, product launches, galas, and high-end private experiences. Some locations may consider select social events, but availability and suitability vary by venue.
We recommend reaching out as early as possible, especially for large-scale events, convention-related programs, or events requiring significant production. Hangar availability can depend on aviation schedules, airport operations, permitting, and venue-specific requirements.
Event Hangars helps hangar owners unlock new revenue opportunities by positioning their space as a unique event venue without requiring them to build an internal event sales and operations team. aVenue provides the experience, marketing, sales process, planning support, and professional event management needed to host events safely and successfully.
aVenue can support venue positioning, sales strategy, inquiry management, client communication, event planning, vendor coordination, production oversight, operational planning, insurance review, onsite management, and post-event follow-up. The goal is to create a turnkey partnership that protects the hangar’s primary aviation use while generating qualified event opportunities.
No. Many hangar owners and aviation operators do not have experience hosting private events, which is exactly where aVenue can help. Our team understands how to evaluate the space, identify event opportunities, create operational guidelines, and professionally manage the process from inquiry through execution.
The event model is designed around the hangar’s primary aviation use. Event availability, setup windows, aircraft movement, guest access, and operational restrictions are reviewed with each hangar partner before events are confirmed.
The best fit is typically a clean, well-maintained hangar with strong access, adequate square footage, high ceilings, guest parking or transportation options, and ownership that is open to hosting select private events. Hangars near major cities, convention markets, resort destinations, or corporate travel hubs are especially attractive.
Not necessarily. If your hangar already has an established event venue brand, it can be listed under that name. For hangars without an existing event brand, Event Hangars may help create a market-specific venue identity, such as “The Hangar Sarasota” or “The Hangar Denver.”
Partnership structures may vary depending on the hangar, market, venue restrictions, and level of involvement required. In most cases, the goal is to create a mutually beneficial arrangement where the hangar owner earns revenue from approved private events while aVenue manages the sales, planning, and event execution process.
Yes. Hangar owners and airport partners should have clear approval rights and operational parameters. Event Hangars is designed to bring qualified, appropriate opportunities to the table, not to force events that do not align with the facility’s needs.
Protection of the hangar and aviation assets is central to the planning process. Events may include requirements for insurance, security, vendor guidelines, aircraft separation, guest barriers, load-in/load-out rules, fire safety, staffing, and airport-specific compliance.
Hangar owners can submit a partnership inquiry through EventHangars.com. From there, our team will review the facility, location, event potential, operational considerations, and partnership fit before recommending next steps.
