Museum of Flying is a private-event space inside a working aviation museum in Santa Monica, California, where guests hold receptions and dinners on the hangar floor among vintage World War II and jet-era aircraft — a genuinely memorable backdrop for a private celebration or corporate-style program. The museum rents the space only: catering, setup, and lighting are arranged independently by the client’s own event producer under an open vendor policy, giving planners full control over their caterer and design team.
