About this venue

Located in Wichita, Kansas, the Kansas Aviation Museum is a welcoming museum venue that hosts memorable weddings and special events. The building is in the original Wichita Municipal Airport Terminal building, which was established in the 1930s. This historical property provides an unforgettable backdrop for wedding celebrations. Couples who choose to celebrate their day here can expect elegant surroundings that offer a myriad of opportunities for one-of-a-kind wedding photos. They can even celebrate their first dance on the same terrazzo floors that Fred Astaire once danced across, providing a stunning start to married life.

Facilities and Capacity

Kansas Aviation Museum offers a range of spaces for couples to choose from, with both indoor and outdoor areas available. The Atrium can accommodate up to 260 people for events. This room boasts stunning scenic views of the surrounding landscape and has incredible terrazzo floors that add a refined and vintage style to your event. Guests can watch the festivities from the balcony, which overlooks the main dance floor. For guests who want to host a more intimate event, they can avail themselves of one of the museum’s conference rooms, which hosts 49 people. Those looking for something a little different can choose to celebrate on a plane, while those who desire an alfresco event can celebrate on the lawns. Working to entertain guests of all ages, this property also contains a Children’s Room.

Services Offered

The team at Kansas Aviation Museum understands that planning a wedding can be hard work. They strive to provide a seamless experience for newlyweds-to-be in the lead-up to their big day. They offer the services of a dedicated coordinator, who will assist you in planning out your reception layout to maximize your chosen space to full effect. Dedicated staff will take care of setup and cleanup, while couples can access the space up to three hours before their celebration to decorate. Staff can provide newlyweds-to-be with a list of preferred vendors, recommending reliable companies that they have worked with previously. In addition to weddings, this venue can also offer an elegant backdrop to pre-nuptial events such as parties and showers, as well as private elopements.

Kansas Aviation Museum Wedding Venue

The Kansas Aviation Museum was the perfect wedding venue! Whether or not you are a plane enthusiast the interior and exterior of the building has a classic charm. We loved working with their venue coordinator who answered all our questions perfectly and eased any nerves we had. They did all the set up/tear down, and being able to have our rehearsal dinner in the same space made everything run smoothly! We would reccomend this venue to anyone looking for an experienced venue with a unique charm.

Great value and flexibility

We had a reception scheduled for May of 2020, which obviously presented many challenges because of Covid. The venue was so flexible with us as we worked through rescheduling, and we were always contacted right away about any changes in policy. The space is beautiful, and we loved that our guests had access to the entire museum. It was a great value for the quality of the venue, and was exactly what we were looking for!

Excellent reception at The Aviation Museum

It was so wonderful to work with The Aviation Museum for my reception. They were so helpful and professional. Everything went so smoothly. I was so happy I was able to bring in my reception items the night before. They worked so well with my wedding planner to decorate for the reception. We received so many compliments on the venue and how beautiful the museum was. Guests love that they could view the museum throughout the whole reception. I highly recommend this place for your reception. The art deco and architecture makes it so you don’t even have to decorate very much.

Excellent, fun, educational

Grace at the aviation museum was helpful, thorough, and easy to work with:). The birthday party was a huge success ! The party room was just across the hall from the children’s educational rooms and restrooms just down the hall. Wonderful value for hosting an event!

Flexible, Beautiful, and Worry Free

I cannot express how amazing the Kansas Aviation Museum was! The location itself is gorgeous and unique. I also loved the conference room where my bridesmaids and I got ready; it was so spacious and close to the elevator so we could haul up all our things. The highlight of this venue, though, is Grace! My original wedding was postponed due to the world shutting down for Covid. Grace was so flexible with us and helped me stay calm and rearrange everything. Grace is so professional and on top of everything. She made me feel so secure and at ease; I knew I was in great hands! Also, you cannot beat the price.

Great venue + Great staff = Great Experience

If you want a unique venue that your guests will enjoy but won’t add to your stress level, check out the Kansas Aviation Museum. We had a rehearsal dinner there that received rave reviews from our guests. Grace (event coordinator) is friendly, flexible, and easy to contact. She went out of her way to make sure everything was how we wanted it, and even let us use her computer to run a slideshow when I forgot cables for mine. There are several places to take photos, and the children’s area makes it kid-friendly if you are including them at your event. Going up in the control tower is a must! We had a wonderful, low stress experience and would definitely recommend the museum to others.
