New England Air Museum

New England Air Museum is a historic wedding venue in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, located near Bradley International Airport. As the largest aviation museum in New England, the venue houses over 100 world-class aircraft across three climate-controlled hangars, each offering a distinctive setting for wedding celebrations. Named by The Connecticut Bride and Hartford Courant as a top historic venue in Connecticut, the museum provides a unique backdrop where couples can host ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions surrounded by aviation history. The venue features three main spaces: the Military Hangar seats 200 guests comfortably with ample dance floor space, the Civilian Hangar accommodates cocktail receptions with a mezzanine overlooking the hangar floor, and the B-29 Hangar provides a dramatic ceremony setting beneath a B-29 Superfortress aircraft. Two additional mezzanines, meeting rooms that can serve as bridal suites, and an outdoor display area complete the facilities. New England Air Museum partners exclusively with Longitude Catering from Latitude Restaurant in West Springfield, Massachusetts, for all food and beverage service. The venue provides wedding coordinator services, museum professional staff, complimentary guest access to the aircraft exhibits, complimentary parking, and wi-fi. During cocktail hour, guests can explore interactive exhibits and enter aircraft cockpits for unique photo opportunities. The location offers convenient access from Springfield (25 minutes), Hartford (30 minutes), and Boston (under 2 hours).
