Alberta Aviation Museum

There may be no easier way to make a wedding memorable than to hold it surrounded by airplanes.

Alberta Aviation Museum occupies a historic Edmonton hangar that once played a role in Canada's aviation history and now provides couples with one of the city's most distinctive wedding settings.

The scale of the Event Hall allows large celebrations to happen beneath the dramatic structure of the hangar, while the Museum Gallery offers a more intimate experience surrounded by historic aircraft.

Both ceremonies and receptions can take place within the property.

That means couples can walk down an aisle with vintage planes around them, then transform the same wider venue into dinner, speeches and dancing.

The museum functions as a flexible canvas.

Couples can bring in their own catering and wedding vendors, allowing the celebration to reflect their style rather than being tied to a standard hotel formula.

Yet the room never becomes anonymous.

The aircraft remain.

The hangar remains.

And every photograph immediately tells people where the wedding happened.

For aviation lovers, history lovers or simply couples who cannot imagine another beige ballroom, Alberta Aviation Museum offers a wedding people are unlikely to confuse with anyone else's.
