The Hangar
A tall, wide hall that looks entirely different with every event: one time a garden with a tree at its centre, another a ball with crystal chandeliers. For the big weddings.
The space
The Hangar is a single space, wide and tall: 1,400 sq m beneath an 11-metre ceiling. Everything else changes from one event to the next: the design, the flowers, the lighting, the arrangement of the tables.
That is why events here look so unlike one another. A garden with a tree at its centre, a Versailles-inspired ball beneath vast chandeliers, an evening lit in neon: all were built in the same space.
An evening in the Hangar
Guests come through from the reception, the doors open, and the eye goes upwards first: 11 metres of height, with the lighting suspended above it all. From there the evening unfolds in a single space - dinner, dancing and everything in between - with no moving from one place to another.
A step from the Hangar's door is a garden of fruit trees, where receptions are held in summer. In winter, the garden is covered.
The same space
What changes from one event to the next is everything that is built inside the space.
Inspiration
Each of these productions has its own name and its own album. They are here as inspiration, not as a ready-made package.
Venue: Hangar
A dark hall with dozens of glowing glass globes descending from the ceiling, and dark tables bearing towers of white and green flowers. Tall glass candelabras and candlelight complete the atmosphere of a ball. The chuppah, draped in white fabric and cascading flowers, is reflected in the water.
Venue: Hangar
Tiered crystal chandeliers against sand-coloured curtains, white tables and calla lilies in tall glass vases. A border of greenery and white flowers runs along the curved sofas. White and green, with the air of a classic ball.
Venue: Hangar
A Japanese-inspired design in a dark hall: ikebana-style arrangements of palm leaves and magenta flowers, ceramic jars and gilded lattice partitions. Illustrated portraits recur on the screens and on the chair backs. Modern, precise and refined.
Venues: Hangar · Shulhan · Bustan
Mirrored spheres on the water, tablecloths in green velvet and in linen, and woven chairs among the greenery. The aisle to the chuppah is paved with mirrors and lined with white flowers; the pergola is wrapped in greenery. Also in the gallery: tables in blue and white beneath oversized lampshades.
Venue: Hangar
A darkened hall with purple neon frames, hanging mirror discs and a white dance floor at its centre, surrounded by sofas and tablecloths in blue velvet, with flowers in purple and blue. The chuppah, by contrast, is classic: an arch of white flowers and greenery beside the water. Classic elegance on one side, a festival atmosphere on the other.
Venue: Hangar
A chuppah covered entirely in white flowers, set on the water, with a flower-lined aisle and rows of candles in glass. Inside, a great ring of crystal chandeliers and white flowers hangs over the centre of the hall, above tall candelabras and curved white sofas. A gala in white, in the spirit of the New York galas.
Venue: Hangar
A chuppah built as a white colonnade, with curtains, small chandeliers and a white grand piano beside it. In the hall, a floor patterned with a sunburst in gold and cream, tall candelabras and spheres of white flowers. A royal ball, down to the last detail.
Venues: Hangar · Shulhan · Bustan
A concept that spans the whole complex: a welcome reception in daylight with tall cocktail tables dressed in sage, a candlelit chuppah on the water beneath a green arch, and dinner in black and white under crystal chandeliers and hanging wreaths of gypsophila. Refined classicism, in the form of a ball.
Venue: Hangar
Giant crystal chandeliers and hanging rings of gypsophila above a hall in black and white. On the black tables, clusters of candles in glass cylinders and spheres of white roses. Inspired by the balls of the Palace of Versailles.
Real events
Events held in the Hangar, in photographs from the evening itself.
A wedding spread across several spaces: a flower-covered chuppah between two pools, a lounge in the courtyard, and dinner in the Hangar, turned into a garden with a tree at its centre.
A day-long bar mitzvah across all three venues: a Torah reading before a carved wooden backdrop, and a party in a blue space beneath glowing cloud sculptures.
The Stories
How they chose the place, what happened along the way and what they would say to the couples marrying after them.
Rom and Yakir met at an Independence Day party, found a compromise between a singer and a DJ, and chose the Hangar. A story of small compromises, one carpet and a team that was a second home to them.
Lior and Shahaf met on a jeep tour of the Caucasus, and the proposal had to wait until he came back from reserve duty. Lior tells how she saw four venues in a single day, and why she booked the Hangar.
Yuval and Omri met at work at Ben Gurion Airport, and two weeks before their wedding the war forced them to postpone it. This is how the Gavriel team helped them find a new date at the Hangar.
After three weeks of searching, Gavriel offered a single date, and it turned out to hold a special meaning for Gili. The story of Gili and Oz, who chose the Hangar.
Cuisine
When you are hosting hundreds of guests, dinner needs a clear order. Gavriel's event menu is built in chapters: the reception, starters for the centre of the table, plated main courses, and desserts from the Gavriel Pâtisserie. The kitchen is led by Chef David (Dudu) Elmakayes.
The menu changes with the season, and in some chapters you choose the dishes from a list.
The Gavriel Experience
The Hangar can be the whole event, or its central chapter. For large events it can be combined with another venue - a reception in the Bustan, for example, a chuppah outdoors, then dinner and the party in the great hall. That is one possible route, not a template: the evening is built around your event.
Questions and answers
Events at Gavriel start at 250 guests, and the Hangar is no exception.
Yes. The Hangar can host the whole event, and it can also be combined with another venue in the complex. You can read about the options in The Gavriel Experience.
