Weddings & Events at the Oklahoma History Center Museum
Celebrate Your Story in a Place Full of History
You're looking for more than a venue, you're looking for a place that reflects your story. Whether you're planning a wedding, reception, anniversary celebration, or special event, the Oklahoma History Center offers a setting unlike any other in Oklahoma City, combining architectural beauty, historic significance, and exceptional service.
When couples tour venues, they often tell us they want:
• A memorable space their guests will talk about for years
• Beautiful ceremony and reception options in one location
• Flexibility for their unique vision
• A stress-free planning experience
• Outstanding photo opportunities
• Convenient amenities and vendor flexibility
The Oklahoma History Center was designed to deliver exactly that.
Located on 18 scenic acres adjacent to the Oklahoma State Capitol, our museum provides a stunning backdrop where history and celebration come together.
Cooper West Family Hall
For many couples, the ceremony is the most meaningful moment of the day. The Cooper West Hall provides an elegant setting to exchange vows surrounded by the beauty and character of the Oklahoma History Center.
Devon Great Hall
After the ceremony, guests can transition into our signature reception space. The Devon Great Hall features polished hardwood floors, granite accents, and an impressive 80-foot floor-to-ceiling glass atrium that fills the room with natural light while showcasing breathtaking views of the Oklahoma State Capitol. Suspended overhead is a replica of Wiley Post's famous Winnie Mae aircraft, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for dining, dancing, and celebrating.
Chesapeake Special Events Gallery
For smaller weddings, rehearsal dinners, bridal luncheons, engagement parties, corporate gatherings, and special events, the Chesapeake Events Gallery offers a sophisticated setting complete with a built-in stage, projection screen, premium sound system, and artwork from the Oklahoma State Capitol collection.
