Choosing the perfect venue to say, “I do,” in is a crucial part of your wedding planning process. It serves as the jumping off point for the rest of your planning. Since it’s such a focal point, we think your venue should represent exactly what kind of bride you are. Are you an elegant bride who would like a grand ballroom to make an entrance in? Or are you an unconventional bride who would like to say your vows with sharks swimming over your head? Check out this list we’ve put together of Oklahoma wedding venues to suit exactly your style.
For the bride who loves the outdoors
Chickasaw Retreat and Conference Center – This venue is set between the Lake of the Arbuckles and the Arbuckle mountains. With scenic beauty all around, you can’t go wrong here. Say, “I do” lakeside, in the courtyard or hilltop with beautiful mountain views. The nature lover in you will be filled with joy after seeing this place.
Bridle Creek Horse Ranch – This gem is nestled in the Osage Hills on acres of tranquil countryside. You can have your ceremony and reception inside the 7,500 square foot Main Lodge or outside on the perfectly manicured grounds of the Arbor. Either way, this outdoor beauty is the ideal place for bride who would rather have her wedding al fresco.
