A gala should feel momentous before anyone even reaches the podium. The Executive Hangar delivers that instantly. Located at Fullerton Airport, this 28,000-square-foot aircraft hangar pairs industrial architecture with dramatic scale - 20-foot ceilings, massive hangar doors that open directly to the runway, and a setting no hotel ballroom can replicate. The space makes a statement: this night matters.
Designed to host up to 1,500 guests, The Executive Hangar is ideal for fundraisers, award ceremonies, and nonprofit galas that demand presence and flexibility. The open floor plan allows for large-scale staging, immersive lighting, and custom layouts without ceiling limitations. Cocktail receptions can expand even further, and the private tarmac creates unforgettable moments throughout the evening including helicopter rides for your guests.
For fundraisers, the venue brings built-in auction appeal - sunset flights over Orange County and aviation experiences donors truly can’t find anywhere else. Award ceremonies gain a backdrop worthy of the recognition. Nonprofit events feel elevated, immersive, and well worth the ticket price.
The Executive Hangar is operated by Jay’s Catering, a third-generation, family-run company serving OC since 1967. From plated dinners and chef-driven stations to passed hors d’oeuvres and full bar service, Jay’s provides seamless, full-service execution. With one team managing both venue and cuisine, your committee can stay focused on the mission while every detail runs flawlessly.

non-profit soiree, or production shoot. With a lofty 20,000 square feet of indoor space and an 8,000 square foot tarmac where small planes and helicopters decorate the backdrop, the sky’s the limit!

blank canvas welcoming grand galas, inspiring fundraisers, product launches, holiday parties, conferences, workshops, brand activations,
fashion shows, star-studded influencer events, commercial shoots, music videos, and more! Excite the thrill seekers, engage the adventurous, and entertain the party enthusiasts. At the Executive Hangar, your dreams are more than mere inspiration, they transform into reality.
