We cannot express how much we loved having our reception at MAPS. All of our guests were blown away by the unique location, access to the museum, and all the airplanes! We loved that they provided volunteers, allowed us to set up whenever we needed, and were flexible in our need to meet via Skype as we were planning this event from our home in DC. They provided tables, ideas about placement, and made sure an airplane was available to be used for a background for our photobooth! The price was amazing, there was plenty of room for multiple dessert tables, guest tables, a waffle stand, and a buffet.
If you have your event during the summer, you have the option of having the hanger door open! It was a little chilly, so make sure to budget for having the heat turned on if you are concerned it may be a little cold.
Overall, we can't recommend this location enough. If you are looking for a unique venue to fit a travel-themed reception or for a couple who have a history of travel, airplanes, military, etc. this is your location! They have invested in a lot of signage, so it is easy to find right off of I-77.
