Congratulations! You’re engaged!
And you’re off and running on the planning portion of your special day. A quick search and you’re probably overwhelmed at the number of Norman and Oklahoma City wedding venues available.
There’s so much to compare and so many unknowns, and you could spend every weekend from now until your wedding checking out all the choices and still not be any closer to knowing which is the best wedding venue for your special day.
Don’t worry because we’re here to help. You want your wedding to be special, memorable, and everything you dreamed it would be. Your wedding venue is a big piece of that, so we made a list of the best in Norman OK and the greater Oklahoma City area.
Montford Inn
We don’t want to toot our own horn (or maybe we do), but Montford Inn in Norman OK is a fantastic venue for intimate weddings and elopements. Our uniquely and thoughtfully designed bed and breakfast with eight guest rooms and six cottage suites.
Featuring beautiful gardens, our inn creates a small, private setting for your wedding. Consider hosting your wedding in one of the gardens with a charming cottage serving as the focal point for your special day.
Alternatively, utilize the stunning lobby for both the ceremony and reception. The options are endless, and we take great pleasure in collaborating with couples to bring their dream event to life.
We were looking for a venue for our small wedding (15-20 people). We found the Montford Inn online and decided to book the Hidden Hollow Cottage. We loved the idea of having a private cottage with the B&B feel. The staff at the Inn were wonderful and very accommodating to our needs. Our photographer showed up early (before check in time) and they let her into the cottage before we arrived so she was able to test lighting before we even got there.

Cobblestone Creek Golf Club
At Cobblestone Creek Golf Club, you have the option to rent one to three floors with 12-hour access. Each floor has picturesque and unique features that add a traditional but modern flair to your event — not to mention all the wonderful natural light that flows through the airy space.
Or, you can have your ceremony and reception outdoors with cocktail hour on the outdoor patio. Plus, you’ll have access to the bridal suite and groom’s man cave to get ready in.
The Railhouse Event Center
Located in a century-old warehouse in downtown Norman, The Railhouse Event Center is an amazing wedding venue with wood-barrel ceilings, industrial-style windows, and original oak floors. You can take advantage of the bridal and groom suites for worry-free spaces to prepare for your special day.
The warehouse features string lighting, a well-equipped catering kitchen, and an overhead projector and speaker system.
Thunderbird Chapel
One of the most beautiful chapels and wedding venues in Norman OK, Thunderbird Chapel was built specifically to host weddings. It has lofty wood arches and impressive glass walls, both of which enhance the elegant setting. Lighting the chapel interior exclusively with candles creates one of the most romantic atmospheres.
Outside of the chapel are carefully landscaped lawns and gardens that feature a mix of live plants. These spaces make for an ideal reception and longstanding memories in your wedding photos.
Hillside Manor Barn Venue
At the Hillside Manor Barn Venue, you get everything that you need for an excellent wedding and reception. The Italian manor features plenty of room for the bride, groom, and rest of the wedding party to fix hair, apply makeup, and get dressed.
The nuptials are held on the lush lawn under century-old trees next to a wild pond. Then, the reception is held in the barn, which has a covered patio. You and your guests can enjoy cocktail hour and yard games, and the dancing area is decorated with bistro lights and lanterns.
Sam Noble Museum
Another option for couples who love history and are getting married is the Sam Noble Museum. This museum is one of the most unique and elegant wedding venues in Oklahoma, featuring beautiful spaces of all sizes — small to large — to accommodate the number of people in your wedding party and guest list.
Drinking cocktails in the shadow of a bronze mammoth will certainly make an impression on your guests and make unforgettable memories.
Caddo Springs
Offering a stylish space for weddings and special occasions, Caddo Springs is located in a rural area of Norman Oklahoma and has been hosting intimate events of love since 2019. It has bridal and groom suites and a full-service kitchen.
You can choose to have an indoor ceremony or an outdoor ceremony with or without cover. You can use the other on-site buildings and pond for photos, and the dance floor on the patio looks over the pond.
The Depot
Hosting concerts, stand-up comics, and more throughout the year, The Depot is the ultimate event venue in Norman. Once the Santa Fe Depot, this historic landmark became a performing arts studio in 2003 and has been hosting events of all kinds ever since, including weddings.
Renting the facility gives you access to a small kitchenette and two rooms, which are quaint for getting glammed up for your big day. There’s a front brick area that can be expanded into the outdoors, a covered portico, and a grassy space on the north side — all of which can be used for the ceremony, photos, and reception.
Southwind Hills
Southwind Hills is a truly awe-inspiring, rustic barn in Goldsby, just 10 minutes south of Norman. The three-story barn seamlessly blends rustic charm with elegant allure, creating the perfect setting for a remarkable wedding celebration.
This top-tier wedding venue offers generous rental periods and on-site wedding coordinators, as well as floral and design services and executive-chef catering. The property even has a bridal suite and a groom’s loft to ensure a stress-free experience on your special day.
Myriad Botanical Gardens
Offering a variety of Oklahoma City wedding venues, Myriad Botanical Garden has gorgeous, vibrant green spaces. The 15 acres of natural escape are located in the heart of downtown.
From the enchanting Crystal Bridge Conservatory and the scenic Meinders Garden Terrace to the expansive Devon Lawn & Bandshell and the serene Water Stage & West Plaza, you’ll discover ample space to accommodate your unique guest list, including options for seated dinners.
For a more spontaneous approach, consider having an impromptu ceremony at the Myriad Botanical Gardens. These no-fuss ceremonies require no chairs or decorations and can accommodate up to 25 standing guests.
Oklahoma History Center
If you and your partner have a thing for history, you could celebrate your love at the Oklahoma History Center. This 215,000-square-foot facility offers rentals of its Devon Great Hall with stunning vistas of the State Building and the Chesapeake Events Center with distinctive artwork from the State Capitol. There are a handful of other event settings too, each with its own unique surroundings and features.
Best Accommodations in Norman OK for Your Wedding Guests
No matter which venue you choose, let the Montford Inn make you and your guests right at home while they celebrate your wedding. Our cottages offer a great place for the bride, groom, and bridal party to get ready, take photos, and more.
Also, they offer cozy comfort and beautiful privacy for a bridal night stay or even a honeymoon. All of our cottages even have breakfast brought to them each morning — another great honeymoon perk!
For your out-of-town guests, Montford Inn offers a taste of home with the service and quality our guests have come to expect. Each morning, your guests will be treated to an amazing breakfast.
And whether your away guests hang out at the inn or explore things to do in Norman or antique shops, we will have homemade cookies, lemonade, and wine waiting for them upon their return.
Everyone on staff that we encountered knew we were there for our wedding, whether we had told them or not, and very genuinely gave us congratulations and well wishes. Great staff and very welcoming cottage. I would highly recommend the Montford Inn and Cottages if you are looking for a place to have a small gathering.
