  Gorgeous and unique venue with amazing staff!

  My husband and I are both aerospace engineers, so when we realized that the New England Air Museum could be rented for weddings, it was a pretty easy decision for us to make. The museum itself is amazing, and a totally unique backdrop for a wedding reception. The planes make for incredible pictures and reflections, and the huge space can accommodate a large group without feeling crowded. We were lucky enough to book the museum shortly after they hired a new event coordinator, who is amazing and was willing to work with us on every little detail from hangar lighting to table placement to having the flight simulator running for our guests ( SO AWESOME!). Michelle is incredible and responsive and so kind; she was so easy to work with and really made the venue exactly what we wanted for the day. And the volunteers: the volunteers at the air museum are amazing on any given day, but when they saw that we had a crowd full of engineers and plane nerds, they went above and beyond to make the experience incredible for everyone. They gave guests background and stories on the planes, they opened cockpits so people could take pictures, and they gave advice to people trying out the simulator. They really helped the museum shine and we are so grateful that they gave up their Saturday nights to make our wedding amazing! Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend the air museum as a wedding venue to anyone, but especially to those looking for something a little out of the box and extremely memorable!

  The coolest wedding your guest will ever attend

  If you are looking for a non-traditional, definitely not run of the mill wedding venue you HAVE GOT to check out New England Air Museum (NEAM). I attend a ball every year for an organization I volunteer with. The ball is always fun and the food is always good, but it's at one of those "wedding factories" where it's always the same dance floor, same photo booth, same salmon regardless of which one you're at. When it came to wedding planning my biggest thing was to be someplace that wasn't the standard. I dragged my then fiance for tours one Saturday. We met with Michelle, the special events coordinator at NEAM. An absolute professional, from the moment we started the tour she made the entire process feel so easy. She is laid back but informative, has great suggestions (when she suggests getting the extra hour - DO IT! it is my one regret about our wedding day that I didn't take her advice on that one...the day just goes by too fast), is incredibly easy to work with and more than happy to do an extra walk through and talk things out for an anxious bride. Simply put, she's amazing! She was never pushy, but then again once you see it you'll understand she doesn't have to be. Whether you're a history buff, an aviation enthusiast, a video game junkie like my husband (there's flight simulators ladies and gentlemen), or just looking for something unique NEAM will be the ideal place for you to get wed. It's massive but feels intimate at the same time, there's so much for you and your guests to look at and experience (because yes, you get to get in some of the planes), and during your wedding you get to have some of the museum volunteers there to share their knowledge and enthusiasm, tell you the best spots to snag an awesome picture, or just guide you through parts of the different exhibit. You can make your reception entrance from inside an antique plane and dance the night away under 2 different airplane wings. All made possible with the help of an incredible staff and volunteers. You won't regret it, and if your guests are like mine, it will be "the coolest wedding" they've ever been to.

  Exciting Venue with Amazing Support

  NEAM was an amazing venue for our wedding. We went there several times during the planning phases and every time it still took our breath away walking in to the incredible planes and other exhibits. The event coordinator Michelle was incredibly knowledgeable; she answered all our questions (we had lots!) and had several suggestions that we implemented & helped make our day super-memorable. Our guests loved experiencing the museum, taking pictures with the exhibits, using the flight simulators, & talking to the museum volunteers who were enthusiastic about sharing their experiences flying and details about the planes. Best of all, there was so much for our guests to do, that we actually got some time to enjoy ourselves, instead of just having that blur of talking to guests that so many people say is all they remember from their wedding :) We would absolutely recommend NEAM for a wedding, and we plan to come back just as visitors!

  One-of-a-kind celebration with amazing service!

  We celebrated our son's Sangeet ceremony at NEAM in July of 2023 and it counted for a truly unique experience. The event coordinator Michelle Salamone and her team are truly amazing people professionally & personally. They did everything in their power to make our experience amazing! Our guests are raving about the event even after a few months and for our family the celebration at NEAM has created a lifetime memory.

  Extraordinary

  The New England Air Museum is extraordinary in every way! Our guests have not stopped talking about how fun and unique our wedding venue was. When my husband and I toured the museum as a possible venue we got the goosebumps and knew there was no other place. What other venue gives you life-sized aircraft to dine and dance among?! Our pictures show our guests literally with their jaws dropped as they walked into the main hangar of the museum for dinner. They spent the rest of the night posing for pictures inside the aircraft. And the staff. The staff, especially Michelle, is absolute perfection! Michelle was so kind and incredibly attentive making sure every dream of ours came true. The night of the event, museum docents are on hand to talk to your guests about the history of the aircraft. Our guests loved that as they were climbing in and out of the planes. The docents helped to create an immersive experience. I promise you will have a wedding like no other at the New England Air Museum

  Best Venue Ever!

  My husband and I got married here May 5th 2023, and it was the best and absolute coolest venue ever! Our guests raved about how much fun they had and told us it was the best wedding ever (they’re not wrong). The venue is so unique and allowed guests to explore the museum and go in several of the planes, as well as use the flight simulators. We were able to utilize the whole museum for our wedding, from the ceremony in the B-29 hangar, cocktail hour in civil hangar, and our reception in the military hangar. Michelle and the staff were more than accommodating and allowed us to utilize the storage hangar to get our first look in front of the F-14. Which brings me to my next point, aside from the incredible venue, Michelle is AMAZING. Hands down best coordinator ever, she worked with us closely to make sure everything was as easy as possible leading up to the wedding. From the rehearsal to the day of, Michelle made sure everything was exactly how we wanted and made every attempt to make our big day stress free and perfect. Honestly, 25/10 would recommend. We would also highly recommend hiring CJC Event Lighting as he completely transformed the reception area, the lighting makes all the difference. If you’re looking for the coolest, most unique wedding venue, look no further. Photographers Mermaids Reel.

  Magical and Exceeded Every Expectation

  We were told multiple times throughout the night and the following days that this was the wedding to compare all other weddings to.
  
  Michelle and her team went above and beyond from the start. The ceremony was arranged beautifully. The cocktail hour was so much fun, as everyone got to start looking at the aircraft and speaking to the incredibly knowledgeable volunteers. The main hanger and reception looked stunning.
  
  I highly recommend using the vendors Michelle suggests. They did a wonderful job. The planning was so easy, since they all knew exactly what they were doing and had just as much passion about the venue as Michelle and the volunteers.
  
  We had a great dance floor, we had an entire museum to explore, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The only complaint I got was there was not enough time to see everything at the museum, and everyone is excited to visit again to see what they missed! The kids also had a lot of fun, and some may even be going to the summer children's program after their experience talking to the volunteers.
  
  I absolutely recommend the New England Air Museum for your wedding venue. We could not have dreamed of a better wedding if we tried!

  Amazing, unique venue with awesome staff!

  My husband and I got married here in June of 2022. I honestly cannot say enough nice things about this venue and their staff. The venue itself is so large and truly unique. Our guests were able to explore the museum during cocktail hour, and our guests continue to tell us we had the "coolest wedding ever". The Event Coordinator, Michelle, was a pleasure to work with. Not only was she extremely helpful with the organization and flow of our day, but she was also helpful in the coordination with other venues. She was a pleasure to work with and made the process much easier than I expected. The day of, Michelle worked to make sure the day went as smooth as possible which helped us to be relaxed and enjoy our day. Looking back, we would not change a single thing about our wedding day. This place by far exceeded our expectations!!!

  An amazing experience!

  Our wedding is still being talked about nearly 2 years later! We had a beautiful reception with a fun and engaging atmosphere. All the staff and volunteers made the museum such an experience for all our wedding guests. From sitting in the various exhibits to dancing under plane wings, we could not have imagined a more enchanting evening. Their recommended vendors went above and beyond. We were able to make the museum our own space to fit our desired look. We could not have asked for a better wedding reception!

  Unforgettable Wedding Location

  Our daughter and now son-in-law's wedding at the New England Air Museum (NEAM) was the experience of a lifetime. Family members and friends all have said that this was truly a wedding to remember. Many of them have a background in aviation and everyone was thrilled at the opportunity to celebrate in the midst of "such cool airplanes!!". The staff at NEAM was incredibly supportive and we are so grateful to them for making this beautiful occasion possible - and for all their many kindnesses and help to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

  Stop looking, you've found the best venue imaginable

  Looking for an incredible crowd pleasing venue? Look no further! Michelle was an absolute joy to work with through out the process. She provided the perfect amount of guidance while letting us convey our vision. The vendors she recommended were great to work with and the over all planning process was made simple. The day of was better than we could have dreamed and everyone at the Museum educated our guests, shared their passion, and made it so very special. You don't have to be an aviation nerd to have a blast at this interactive and history filled venue. We've already been back to visit since our wedding in September.
