  Castle Falls is a historic castle in Oklahoma City that has been converted into a restaurant and event venue, sitting on five landscaped acres near downtown, about seven miles from the airport. The structure was built in 1945 by WWI veteran Bill Blecha, who spent decades collecting salvaged architectural pieces from demolished Oklahoma City buildings, including the Colcord Hotel, the original downtown airpark, and the Oklahoma County Courthouse, to construct his family's home into the side of a hill with three levels framed by 24-inch concrete walls. Amy and Ralph Rollins purchased the property in 2004 and reopened it as a restaurant in 2005, later adding The Grande Hall in 2007 and expanding private dining across the castle's upper floors. For events, planners can choose between The Grande Hall, a 5,000-square-foot stone building with 22-foot ceilings, a fireplace, integrated audio-visual capabilities, and an adjacent outdoor Wedding Folly, which accommodates up to 250 guests for weddings, corporate dinners, and large celebrations. Inside the historic castle itself, smaller private dining spaces span three floors, from The Cellar's casual first-floor tables to the fine-dining Primrose on the second floor and the intimate Master Level suites on the third, suited to rehearsal dinners, executive meetings, and gatherings as small as two guests. The grounds include towering oak trees, a wedding folly, an ivy-covered pergola, and a waterfall and patio area used for outdoor ceremonies and photography, with indoor backup available in The Grande Hall during inclement weather. The venue also preserves period furnishings and artifacts donated by Oklahoma City families, including historic bridal gowns displayed throughout the castle.

  • 1 Historic Space

  Stokely Event Center occupies a historic warehouse in Tulsa that once served as the manufacturing site for hand-painted billboards, built by Bill and Sarah Stokely after they founded Stokely Outdoor Advertising in 1978 and acquired the building in 1984. When the family sold the advertising business to Lamar as the industry moved to digital signage, they repurposed the warehouse rather than let it sit empty, opening it as an event venue in 2007 filled with acquired neon and petroleum signs. Sarah Stokely has led the venue since 2018, continuing a family operation now spanning decades. The space is decorated with more than 300 nostalgic Tulsa signs, vintage Route 66 memorabilia, and old oil and gas advertising, giving it a picture-ready, retro character that requires little additional decor.

  Opened in 2006 as the first structure on the newly revitalized Oklahoma River, the Chesapeake Boathouse anchors Oklahoma City's Boathouse District.

A reflecting pool marks the entrance, lit by sixteen columns of light representing oars. Inside, an event room looks out through a 62-foot window onto the boathouse's boat bays, which hold up to 124 rowing shells, while a separate panoramic 24-foot glass wall frames views of the deck, river, and reflecting pool. The building is designated an Oklahoma Centennial Project and remains the community boathouse for the district.

  The Stables at Washita Farms

  • Spaces for 100 Guests
  • 1 Barn
  • 1 Farm

  For decades, our family has farmed and ranched in southern Oklahoma. With deep roots in the community, we've held a number of events in the neighborhood throughout the years. We were grabbing at straws for sites to host an engagement party, bridal showers, and rehearsal dinner when we scheduled a large family wedding in January of 2015. There were few and far between possibilities. We knew we weren't the only ones who felt this way! The necessity for new venues to serve Ardmore, Madill, Tishomingo, and the surrounding area was discussed and debated at that time. We thought we might have just the property after some brainstorming and a lot of imagination. The transformation of the existing horse barn into The Stables at Washita Farms has been a true labor of love. Every member of our immediate family has been involved in the decision-making process, and many hours of physical labor have been put in as well. Our goal for The Stables was to keep the original barn's equestrian style while adding some exquisite accents and features. We also reused things and materials from our historic property to create something genuinely one-of-a-kind. What you'll discover is a blank canvas that is stunning on its own. You have the freedom to decorate as much or as little as you choose. The splendor of the barn will be enhanced by your choice of event decor! Engagement parties, anniversary parties, milestone birthdays, rehearsal dinners, weddings, vow renewals, family reunions, corporate retreats, and more are all possibilities at The Stables at Washita Farms. Our family's involvement in the management of The Stables at Washita Farms is extremely important to us, and we would be honored to be a part of your special day.

  The Harn Homestead is a historic outdoor museum in downtown Oklahoma City, preserving the 1904 Victorian Queen Anne home built by William and Alice Harn along with five other historic buildings on the family's original territorial-era homestead.

For private events, the grounds accommodate up to 200 guests, with tables and chairs for that number included in rental packages. Couples can marry beneath the gazebo or under the property's mature trees, then move celebrations into the Victorian home or the two-story Event Barn, a 3,000-square-foot rock-and-cedar structure that seats 200 for dinner and holds up to 500 for receptions, with room for as many as 1,500 across the outdoor grounds. The barn is climate-controlled, with overhead heating and Portacoolers, and its north and south doors open to connect indoor and outdoor entertaining space. Beyond weddings, the Harn Homestead hosts corporate, civic, and fundraising events, memorial services, and seasonal programming, alongside its ongoing work as a museum offering guided tours and field-trip education about Oklahoma's territorial past.

  Rosemary Ridge is a family-run barn wedding and event venue set on 60 acres of rolling hills between Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The Grand Hall, an indoor reception space with soaring ceilings, seats up to 500 guests, while outdoor ceremony sites range from the elevated altar of the Promenade to the natural amphitheater and stone aisle of Prairie Song, set in the property's rolling hills.
