If you’re looking to host a private party that your guests will actually talk about long after the night is over, The Hangar at 743 in Latham, NY is the spot. Just minutes from Albany and Saratoga Springs, this aviation-themed event venue is unlike anything else in the Capital Region.
What makes it special? Picture this: your guests sipping cocktails next to vintage World War II aircraft, a live band playing in a loft above the crowd, and panoramic views of the runway just outside the hangar doors. It’s bold, unexpected, and unforgettable—everything you want your party to be.
A Space That Transforms to Fit Your Vision
The Hangar offers 8,000 square feet of wide-open event space that you can make completely your own. Whether you’re hosting a milestone birthday, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, anniversary, or retirement celebration, the space is incredibly flexible. There’s room for seated dinners, a spacious dance floor, live music, photo booths, and anything else you can imagine.
There’s also a private conference room for prep or VIP staging and a second-floor loft that can serve as a chill lounge or performance area. The layout adapts to fit the vibe you’re going for—from classy and intimate to high-energy and wild.
Your Guests Will Be Talking
Here’s what really sets The Hangar apart: the atmosphere. The moment your guests walk in, they’ll be surrounded by a rare collection of fully functional World War II planes. Step outside, and they’ll be treated to views of the runway and aircraft taking off in the distance. It’s cinematic and totally unique.
When the massive hangar doors are open, the indoor and outdoor spaces blend together. It’s perfect for cocktail hours on the tarmac, sunset photos, or dancing under the stars.
Everything You Need, Already Included
You don’t need to worry about renting the basics. The Hangar has you covered. Tables and chairs are included, including round dinner tables, high-tops with stools, and elegant mahogany wooden chairs. (Inquire about QTY) There’s also a drop-down projection screen for photo slideshows or videos, which makes honoring the guest of honor even more special.
Behind the scenes, you’ll find practical touches like a beverage cooler, Kegerator, ice machine, and a kitchenette with sinks and a microwave-making things easy for catering teams and bartenders.
Convenient, Accessible, and Local
Located at 743 Albany Shaker Road in Latham, the venue sits on the grounds of Albany International Airport.

Take the Party Outside
When the weather’s nice, the outdoor space becomes a showstopper. Guests can enjoy drinks with views of the runway and take in the rare sight of vintage planes up close.
