A New Orleans Venue With History
The Hangar sits in a lively part of New Orleans, near the mid-city area. Our building is not new, but it is new inside. It has been standing here for a very long time, over 40 years! This place has seen many shows and hosted many beautiful weddings. From traditional weddings to most modern ones.
A few years ago, after some hard times, we brought The Hangar back to life. It was rebuilt in 2021. We made sure to keep the old spirit of fun while making the space new and ready for modern parties.
Our space is simple yet ready for anything. It is a big, open space. This means you have the freedom to make your wedding look exactly how you want it.
How Many Guests Can Our Wedding Venue Hold?
The Hangar gives you a lot of space to work with. It can host large groups, which is helpful for couples who want everyone they care about in the same room.
Up to 800 guests when you use the full open floor
Around 600 guests if you include the VIP section
Because the building is wide and open, you’re not limited to one kind of setup. Some couples use the whole space for a lively, big wedding with a big dance floor and lots of movement. Others divide the room into smaller areas so the day feels calm and intimate.
Wedding Setup and Style
Our wedding venue was first built for live shows, so the space is already designed to move with the energy of a crowd. That makes it easy for couples to shape the room the way they want. Some couples use the open floor for a full seated dinner, while others turn it into a big dance space with plenty of room to move. You can also mix things by adding lounge seating, food stations, and a dance floor all in one place.
Many couples choose to hold their ceremony on the stage, then shift into a reception with music and lights that bring the room to life. Because the layout is so open, it’s simple to create a smooth flow from one part of the day to the next.
The building also works well with many design styles. You can keep the look clean and simple, or you can decorate with classic touches to match it with your wedding theme. The space is a neutral base that supports any mood you want for your wedding day.
Wedding Catering
The Hangar offers on-site catering, which helps keep your wedding day easy to plan. You can handle your meal, drinks, and dessert in one place instead of working with many vendors. It keeps the whole wedding timeline smooth.
Wedding Stage & Sound
Because the building was made for live events, the stage, sound system, and lighting are already set up for your wedding ceremony or wedding reception. It’s simple to bring in a DJ or band, and you don’t have to worry about extra equipment.
Wedding Lounge Areas
The Hangar includes a full bar area and optional VIP lounge sections. These spots give your wedding guests a place to sit, talk, and relax between dancing and celebrating, which helps the whole night flow well.
Guest Experience and Comfort
The open layout at The Hangar gives your guests room to move, talk, dance, and enjoy the night without feeling crowded. Whether you’re planning a large New Orleans wedding or a smaller gathering, the space stays easy to navigate.
The bar and lounge areas help guests take a break during the reception, and the VIP sections can be shaped into quiet spots for older family members or anyone who needs a moment away from the dance floor. Because The Hangar is an indoor wedding venue in New Orleans, your guests don’t have to worry about sudden rain, heat, or humidity. They can stay comfortable from the ceremony to the last song.
The location also helps with guest experience. Mid-City is close to major roads and hotels, which makes travel simple for guests coming from across town or from out of state. The mix of space, comfort, and easy access makes The Hangar a place where guests can relax and enjoy your wedding day from start to finish.
