For Allison and Thomas, their wedding day took luxury to new heights. They chose The Modern, a stunning 11,000-square-foot venue uniquely located atop the Sky Harbor Hangar in Long Beach. This space is perfect for couples who want a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic paired with a one-of-a-kind urban backdrop.
A Runway View Like No Other
The Modern is far from your typical ballroom. Because it sits overlooking the award-winning Long Beach Airport, it offers an unparalleled view of the private jet runway. Specifically, the venue features:
- The Great Hall: A bright, expansive space with polished concrete floors.
- The Salon Chandelier: A breathtaking installation of hundreds of dancing lights.
- The Outdoor Terrace: A chic spot for sunset portraits with airplanes taking off in the distance.
Sleek, Sophisticated, and Seamless
First, the couple shared their vows in the sun-drenched “Salon.” Afterward, guests moved to the lounge, which features custom-built wood bars and quartz stone tops. Because the venue is accessed via private elevators, the entire day felt exclusive and intimate. Consequently, we were able to capture editorial-style photos that felt both industrial and high-fashion.
Finally, as the sun set over the hangar, Allison and Thomas celebrated their new chapter with a high-energy reception. Overall, their wedding at The Modern was a masterclass in clean lines and elevated California style.
