About Hangar 858

Start PlanningOur Point of View
The venue should be part of the story.
Hangar 858 was created for hosts who want more than a standard ballroom, restaurant buyout, or blank room. The space gives guests an immediate sense of arrival: aviation scale, open volume, polished service, and a setting that feels unmistakably San Diego.
Our team works with weddings, corporate clients, nonprofit groups, families, planners, and production teams to shape the room around the purpose of the event. Some events need a formal dinner. Some need a stage, bar, music, and movement. Some need quiet dignity. The space adapts without losing its identity.
Inside the hangar, the layout can shift from long banquet tables to cocktail lounges, a dance floor, a stage for presentations, or an open floor for a photo or film shoot. Lighting, bar service, catering, and entertainment are arranged around your timeline, and our all-inclusive event packages make it simple to plan everything in one place.
Whether you are hosting a wedding reception, a corporate holiday party, a charity gala, a milestone birthday, a baby or bridal shower, or a celebration of life, our team stays involved from the first tour to the last guest out the door. Schedule a tour to see the space in person and talk through what your event needs.
