Magical day

Unfortunately our wedding day was rather cold, so we had to change from using the Navy airplane hanger to the heated second floor. Mitch (the director) was always available and responsive to last minute questions and changes. We did take some pictures afterwards in the Navy hanger.

Amazing!!!

This place and the people are amazing! Mitchell knows exactly what he is doing and the staff could not be more helpful. They completely took the stress out of the reception and setting everything up. Plus the guests were able to view the museum which was a highlight for everyone! This is the must have for reception places!

Wedding venue of my dreams!

The Military Aviation Museum is an incredibly special place. Set in a beautiful field less than 30 minutes from the Oceanfront, this was the perfect location for my September wedding. The staff is fantastic - professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They supported us every step of the way. So many guests came up to me to tell me this was the "coolest venue ever." It was everything we hoped it would be and more. I highly recommend any type of event at the Military Aviation Museum.

Perfect!!!

My husband, daughter, son-in-law and I were so very pleased with our choice to use the Military Aviation Museum for the wedding reception. Beginning with our first contact with the events coordinator to the end of the reception, everyone we were in contact with was very kind, attentive and accommodating . The hangar looked beautiful, our guests were so happy and had a fabulous time, and the bride and groomed did not want the evening to end. There was lots of room for guests to move around as the museum was opened to all. I highly recommend any type of event at the Military Aviation Museum.

We are so glad we chose the Military Aviation Museum for our wedding reception! A friend of ours that lives down the street from it suggested that we check it out and as soon as we saw it we fell in love. Everyone there was so nice and helpful and the planes are really cool to have!

This venue is one of the best value and most flexible venues available. They worked with us to get all our ideas to work in their venue, moving their priceless aircraft around hangers to accommodate us and our guests. The value is exceptional, prices are most reasonable around, they have their own tables, chairs available and a linen supplier with very good rates. The warming kitchen they have is well equipped considering it is a museum first and foremost. Most of the staff are volunteers and help with set up and take down. The museums events co-ordinator, Johnathan Lichtenstein, is a pleasure to work with and bent over backwards to accommodate us and our crazy ideas!
