We rented the park house and the splash pad. Everyone we worked with was wonderful. The park house has several tables and chairs that come with it as well as a huge commercial kitchen for catering.

Wonderful experience. The gardens were beautiful, no need for expensive flowers. Amazing picture opportunities throughout. Stunning first look photos at the carousel. Couldn’t be happier!

We had our April 2018 wedding reception at the Park House at the Myriad and it was the high end, modern feel my groom and I were looking for! The floor to ceiling glass with views of the city and the crystal bridge impressed all of our guests! ...
They even lit up the bridge deep purple to match our theme! Grace was our day-of coordinator and was genuinely excited for our wedding and extremely helpful through the planning process and received the vendors for me and made sure everything was sat up exactly how I wanted it. She even helped my family light all the candles we had and set up decorations! I walked into the reception and saw my dream wedding come to life! I'm usually the one helping plan events and particular about details so of course I was nervous things might not be exactly how I wanted them but everyone and everything were all in the right places! To find people what have attention to detail like I do is hard! But everything was PERFECTION! Grace and Chelsea are both so nice and easy to work with! We had 120 guests and had a very good sized dance floor and the huge wrap around patio and the twinkly lights right next to it made for amazing outdoor photos at night! We had several out of town guests and this was a very impressive and convenient spot for them!

e care of me now, as a planner. After my wedding there, I was inspired to start my own planning company and Chelsea and her team were my very first cheerleaders. For that, I am so grateful. They are very educated on how the events work at the gardens. They are very respectful to your wedding day and the process it takes to make it complete. They work hand in hand with you before and on the actual day. They are a team of wonderful people, and every person on the team knows the details. As a planner, I support them on the day of, by no means take the day from them. We work hand in hand to make the day go perfectly. If you need something, they get it done. If there is an issue, they fix it. If there is a surprise, you wont know about it! Dream. Team. I have had weddings in the past that have gone off without a hitch and have many more in the future. Can't wait to work with these wonderful people again. Much love!!

If I had the option to do it over again, I would NOT have my wedding here. We married here 3 months ago, had our ceremony in the tropical Crystal Bridge Conservatory and our reception in the adjacent lobby. It was not worth what we paid, and ac...
tively added stress to our big day. PROS: You cannot get the beauty of the Gardens anywhere else. It's breathtaking; we hardly needed to decorate at all. Also there are many hotels/attractions nearby. CONS: 1. Their Event Coordinator does not work weekends. Think about that for a second. We spent 9 months planning with someone who was not there on the day of. I found out the Coordinator wouldn't be there that day as I was getting ready for the ceremony, when the event manager for that day came in and introduced himself. There was no opportunity to meet with this person beforehand to sit down with him and the EC to make sure we were all on the same page. And that had some really bad consequences, for ex. the music in the reception wasn't turned on, so our guests awkwardly sat in silence for 20 minutes while WE fixed that. 2. The groomsmen were told to go to a separate part of the garden to get ready than where their dressing room was. We planned to use two dressing rooms upstairs above the Conservatory. The first groomsman to arrive was directed to go to a room in the BASEMENT of an adjacent building. We were getting married at the Crystal Bridge; they were directed to go to the Water Theatre - two totally separate parts of the garden. Also, this room was locked. The event staff member he talked to apologized (she was VERY sweet and helpful, it's a shame she was only a part-timer) and said the event manager had the only key. They had to find that manager every single time they left the dressing room, or they'd be locked out. When my husband arrived, he knew what the plan had been, and had a confrontation with the event manager, who said, "Oh I thought you'd prefer to get ready there so that you don't see the bride." We had First Look pictures... something that the Event Coordinator knew, but apparently did not get communicated to the event staff actually working that day. This cost us a LOT of time and stress. 3. You don't get much time in the venue. You can't begin setting up until after the Gardens close to the public for that day around 5pm. You also must be out of the venue by 11pm. So if your ceremony is at 7, you have 2 hours to decorate, then reception ends at 10, you have an hour to clean. You cannot set up the day before, not even for the rehearsal. 4. We did not get to rehearse the day before. In the Conservatory there is a large open space where your guests sit for the ceremony; during normal business days, that space is occupied by 4 large planters. We specifically asked if those would be moved so we could rehearse; EC said yes. On Fri, she refused to move them. She said the planters required a machine to move and needed to be there for the public during the day on Sat. On Sat evening, we watched a single person flip a lock on the planters and roll them out. It took 5 minutes to remove and replace the planters... they couldn't have done that during the one hour we had for rehearsal? 5. No designated/reserved parking for guests or wedding party. 6. When it began to rain, another couple getting married there asked to move to our space. They were told no of course, but this shows that there was no backup plan in place for them in the event of bad weather on their wedding day.
Response from the Vendor on 02/28/2018
Laura, I'd like to address your concerns. 1. We have 3 event coordinators on staff, all of whom work weekends. When we met 1 month prior to your event date, I mentioned at this time who your day-of coordinator would be. I mentioned this again a...
t your rehearsal. We are not wedding planners. We are venue coordinators-there is a difference. There are usually multiple events scheduled on one weekend throughout our 17 acre property that requires all 3 coordinators to work. We apologize the sound for your ceremony did not play as you would have liked, however this equipment was provided and operated by you-not Myriad Gardens. If you recall, we were 45 minutes late starting your rehearsal due to members of the bridal party being late. As for the planters in the conservatory, these were not able to be moved during the rehearsal because the Crystal Bridge was still open to the public, which was explained at your rehearsal. When we were nearing the 1 hour mark of the rehearsal, I urged you to still complete a rehearsal as you could easily walk around the planters which is what all of our other brides have done. You did not wish to. I did allow the rehearsal to extend beyond the one hour timeframe so you could setup & test sound equipment. 2. Your event coordinator for the evening, moved the groomsmen to an alternate location so you and your bridesmaids could have some privacy. He did this to be kind. If they did not wish to move locations, they did not have to. The doors of this changing room do lock behind you as a safety measure as the hallway is a public space. This suggestion to move the groomsmen to this room was a courtesy. 3. We are one of OKC's most visited attractions therefore it is important our hours of operation remain consistent. When I initially toured the Crystal Bridge with you, I shared with you all of the details regarding booking the bridge. Because it is open to the public until 5pm, we aren't able to book events until after hours. We know this is a short amount of time to prepare your wedding and ceremony venue which is why we stress these details on every tour. Also, the ending time on your rental contract is the time your reception should conclude and majority of your guests have left. You were welcome to take as much time as you needed to tear down and collect your things. Setup/tear down time is never a part of your scheduled rental period as our staff is responsible for both of these. As an additional courtesy, we also included our 2nd floor conference room to use for childcare during your ceremony. There is normally a rental fee for this area however we included this in your package at no cost. 4. We allow all of our wedding parties 1 hour to rehearse with a venue coordinator at a previously scheduled time. I wish you had taken advantage of this hour to ease some stress on your big day. 5. We do not offer parking for wedding guests. This is outlined in several sections of our website and is included in the informational packet given to you on tours. We have a 30 year history of booking weddings and helping brides create a memorable experience they will never forget. We’re sorry this was not the case for your wedding and this was your impression of the Myriad Gardens. If you have any additional concerns, I'd be happy to give you a call. Chelsea Bright

Also, they turn off the waterfall during the ceremony, which helped a lot with the humidity and noise level. All in all, I'm very happy that we were married there. Though word of caution - the clear panels leak just a little bit, so you're not entirely dry if it still rains on the wedding day.

She even gave me a discounted price even though she had no control over those events! Beautiful venue, affordable, and very helpful staff!!

She sent me pictures of previous weddings that had been held there and helped me decide on a layout. We visited many times before the big day to plan and space things. The staff was always helpful and friendly. The day before the wedding, we were allowed to set up the wedding (since there wasn't an event that day). The rehearsal was held there free of charge. Even when we were setting up for the wedding, they let us borrow a power drill to set up our wedding arch. The day of the wedding, there was an event manager there to make sure I had everything I needed. He met my every request. For the before wedding photos, the Chrystal Bridge was open and we were allowed to take photos there. After the wedding, the bridge was closed, but the event manager, Michelle, opened it up for my husband and I to take our photos. We were so impressed by the helpfulness and kindness of the Myriad Gardens staff! My husband and I are so happy that we decided to have our wedding at the Myriad Gardens!

an hour. The more popular spaces are more, but still very reasonable. Only downsides: it's not a private area, so people strolling through the park can watch (I didn't even notice though!) Some of the outlets don't work due to the flooding in May, so we had to scramble to find a power source and extension cord at the last minute.
