Kansas Aviation Museum is a wedding and event venue located in Wichita, KS. This historic facility offers a truly memorable backdrop for your important day. The venue is situated within the original 1930s Wichita Municipal Airport Terminal with classic architecture and terrazzo floors. Seasoned staff with combined experience and knowledge will assist you in helping frame your dream wedding.
The building that became the Kansas Aviation Museum was the official Wichita Municipal Airport from 1935 to 1954. Now, this historic museum educates and entertains the public, as well as providing numerous event spaces for special occasions. You may select from a variety of outdoor and indoor sites for your proceedings. The ramp area with lawn and front porch can make a marvelous ceremony setting for you to exchange your vows. A unique touch is available with “On A Plane”, with both a FedEx 727 and a KC-135 ready to host guests. Inside the facility, the Atrium offers a spacious area for dining and dancing. Alternatively, the Third Floor Mezzanine and the Conference Room make excellent settings for more intimate gatherings.
Kansas Aviation Museum offers venue rental for weddings in a range of packages, all customizable to fit your needs. All event packages include three hours of same-day decorating time, staff on duty, table and chair setup and teardown, and trash removal during and after. Additionally, the dedicated venue rental coordinator will assist you in planning your wedding day, with layout design and vendor coordination. For the course of your event, you and your guests will have access to the full museum. This includes viewings of display planes and the use of a children’s room. The venue staff takes pride in offering an all-inclusive venue and attending to guests' needs on special days.

Kevin and his team went above and beyond to make my daughters wedding day special. We had a large decorative installation that needed extra time to set up as well as all the other...
vendors needs. He responded quickly to our MANY questions and he made us feel at ease leading up to the wedding day. There was a small leak due to alot of rain the day of, and the staff worked very hard not to let that affect our guests. The setting is great to keep your guests entertained and the building itself is beautiful. I can't recommend this venue enough!

The Kansas Aviation Museum was the perfect wedding venue! Whether or not you are a plane enthusiast the interior and exterior of the building has a classic charm. We loved working ...
with their venue coordinator who answered all our questions perfectly and eased any nerves we had. They did all the set up/tear down, and being able to have our rehearsal dinner in the same space made everything run smoothly! We would reccomend this venue to anyone looking for an experienced venue with a unique charm.

Kevin was great to work with and assisted in setting up tables, linens, moving tables between ceremony and reception. The venue also takes care of trash clean up and removing table...
s, chairs etc. The AC was mostly cool and Kevin (unprompted) apologized for it not being as cool as he wanted and offered some money back.

We fell in love with the building and after looking around at a few other venues, we agreed on this place. The price was very comparable to other venues—but I felt that we had it f...
or more time than other venues. We booked the full facility for Saturday, which also included Friday evening for set up and rehearsal. We did have some minor frustration with the event coordinator, but he’s still new to the position, so I’m going to assume that is the root of our frustrations—he’s still learning! The museum was closed the day of the wedding, but our guests were able to walk the museum. There is also an indoor play area for kids—big hit! The Art Deco design of the building makes for a super cool backdrop. We had our wedding outside with the reception inside. I would totally get married there again—highly recommend KAM as a unique place for a wedding (especially if avoiding rustic).
