Beautiful location! The views are to die for and everyone kept taking pictures!
Cool cocktail hour area near the planes
Hubby is a aviation fanatic. So we had to use every plane available. Lol
Love!

We wanted something not super traditional - no ballrooms or community centers, something that wow'd our guests as just being unlike something they've been to and Cal Aero was it. From the second we went there my husband was like this is the place. He doesn't really care too much and would just give a standard "yeah that's nice" but this was the place he actually seemed excited about so we sealed the deal right then and there. Karen was always super responsive and quick to answer any questions during our 10 months of planning. It's such an affordable venue and I loved that you are able to bring in all of your own vendors. We brought in our own bartender team where we got to supply the alcohol, and we had a food truck there for our meal. They had a handful of staff there the whole night to check on bathrooms, empty trash cans, and just make sure the venue was in good shape. They are also there to move chairs from the ceremony if needed, take down tables and chairs, really was a great experience and I would recommend this venue for so many events - not just weddings. People have been raving about our venue since and I'm so happy we decided to do our wedding there.

We had our 10 year High School reunion at Cal Aero Events and it was AMAZING!!!!!! Susan was extremely easy to work with and answered any questions that I had. When the day of the event came, Dean, Brandon, and Adrian were so helpful and made sure setting up and taking down the event was a piece of cake.Everyone in our class was amazed by how beautiful the venue was. There was plenty of room to mingle, dance, eat, drink, take pictures, etc. The facilities were so clean as well.Please book Cal Aero for your next event! You won't be disappointed!!

If you are looking for a very cool and unique event venue, look no further! I attended an event here and it was perfect to host our large group. There was plenty of space for dinner, games, the silent auction, dancing and much more! Not to mention the vintage decor, really neat planes on display and the airport right there with planes taking off and landing throughout the event. I also want to make note of the friendly and hardworking staff who were on top of anything we needed. Can't wait to host my next event here!

My hubby DJ-ed here for a surprise 21st bithday party. It was really a beautiful place to hold an event! There's ample parking, you have an open view of small planes taking off and landing and they're not very loud at all! The sunset was beautiful. Staff was always on hand to help with anything and they were very friendly. All around, it was a great event, and I recommend this site to anyone needing a place to hold any time of event...It's different with beautiful views all around!

I have the privilege of writing this review from multiple standpoints: bride, coordinator, decor stager and a hair and makeup artist. Being apart of the wedding industry in many outlets of this industry, I pay attention to many components as to what makes a wedding memorable, run smoothly and provide an atmosphere for personality as well as a wow factor. This venue offers so many touches to allow for a backdrop from getting ready to your very last dance. Less and Susan were so wonderful to work with and really let me use there space as my own.As a bride, I had my wedding set for another wedding venue and once I performed my first wedding at this location I immediately changed it. My wedding theme was industrial elegance and this was beyond exactly what I got. My energy and ideas began to flourish once I made this change and it was the best decision. Many people asked what my connection to airplanes were and I had none but at the end of the day this addition to my theme was beyond perfect. I took this venue and brought out each element to showcase them as not an accident but as if this place was build for me. I had 230 people attend my wedding and at no point were you cramped crowded or bored :) we used in n out food truck for catering, Billy the camera guy for our videography and photo booth, had a donut bar for our thank you's, a corn hole area, the patio was decorated so elegant with not an empty seat the entire night as the large silver plane in our cocktail area that was like a second photo booth. We did rent portable bathrooms which made no issues or lines in any sense. Over all my wedding was beyond my wildest dreams. To this day, I am told it was the best wedding yet! Everyone was in complete aw of how the decor and venue made such an amazing backdrop to our perfect day. I would recommend to anyone and have the privilege of being apart of many weddings this year here :)

Attended a wedding reception here on Saturday the 21st of February 2015 in the late afternoon. When I first read on the invitation that it was going to be in a hangar at a local airport in Chino, my first initial reaction was "Huh?" But when I got there, I have to admit, the place was actually appealing.Parking was adequate. You have stalls and when those are filled, you can park along the side of the parkway. Then you go about 50 yards to the hangar. Of course, it is gated so not just anybody can drive around in there. You walk through a gated door and then you are right there virtually right on the tarmac.The hangar itself is huge because duh, it's designed for huge planes. So props goes out to whoever made the decision to turn it into a banquet facility. I like how the front entrance has the big fold up type garage door. The whole duration of the reception it was open. As the night came about, the temperature dipped down to about 50 and even colder with the wind going on. After all, it is a large open field with a runway. If you were inside it wasn't too bad. But if you were outside, it was really cold. In fairness they do supply about 3 heat lamps right at the front of the entrance to keep you warm. All that open space they have right in front was reserved exclusively for a DJ and lots of room for a dance floor. The sound quality of the MC and music played was very good. I was amazed there was very little echo with it being a hangar and all. For water and alcoholic beverages, there is a bar kitty corner from the DJ booth. There is also a small covered section complete with sofas and ottomans along with a fireplace. They even have an actual plane that you can take pictures in front of.As for the lone negative in my opinion, the bathrooms for the men and women are both singular. This was probably the only mistake I think the owners of the place forgot to plan on. When you have a big reception with lots of beverages including alcohol, trips to the bathroom will be frequent. Yes, it was quite an inconvenience having to get in line every time I had to go.So, if you are thinking of booking an event here, as long as your guest list is not too overwhelmingly huge, I think your event should turn out pretty good. Yelp 2015 review #11510 overall

We were originally scheduled to have our wedding reception here last month, but were unable to due to the coronavirus. And that was a real bummer, because our experience with Cal Aero was top-notch. From the time we toured the venue and throughout the planning process, the folks at Cal Aero were so friendly and responsive. Let me tell you, this venue is a real hidden gem. The space features a gorgeous ready-room for the couple and their parties, as well as plenty of open space indoors and outdoors for your function. It exceeded our expectations and made us switch away from a traditional golf course venue that we were about ready to commit to. The fact that you can taxi in on a beautiful vintage plane is the real 'wow factor' that got us excited. And it is very DIY-friendly, so we didn't feel constrained to pre-set options for food, drinks, etc. For the couple that wants to do something different and unique, there's lots to love about this venue. And it is clear the owners take great pride in making this place the best it can be for your party. We'd definitely consider hosting an event here in the future. Thanks Cal Aero!
