"I recently hosted an event at Hangar 858, and both my guests and I had a fantastic experience. The team was easy to work with and very accommodating of our specific needs. The venue itself is unique as the hangar offers a blank canvas for event design, with the added charm of planes taking off and landing at the airport. I would absolutely recommend Hangar 858 and look forward to hosting another event there. "
