Rose Briar Place

whole year prior. I think I actually over planned and over bought. There were some things I purchased & didn't realize the venue provided them. Little things that were not a big deal to return. We brought our own centerpieces, table runners & napkins. My family help set most of it up, but when getting ready came into play we kind of just left some things undone, but Kourtney would come check in with me to make sure it was set up how I envisioned it. We would have been completely lost without my day of coordinator Kourtney there directing us & making sure everyone was where they needed to be. Food was excellent & we received compliments about everything! How beautiful everything was, how organized things were & how everything flowed well. Grooms request is to have more "to-do" in the groom's suite & "snacks".

s also delicious. We were also able to get a nice discount for booking before a certain date and during non-peak wedding months. As well as a teacher discount on our decor rentals. We were able to come in starting at noon to get everything set up and get ready for the ceremony at 6. The day of coordinator, Kourtney, helped everything run smoothly. Many of my guests were raving about the food and how beautiful the venue is. They offer both indoor and outdoor space for the ceremony and they do both year round. Overall, our wedding went well. However, there are a few things that did not go well and are still bothering me 2 months later. Rose Briar’s tagline, “You bring the dress, we do the rest”, is misleading at best. When we first toured in January, we were told that the venue covered everything and we would be responsible for the alcohol, photographer, and flowers. But as things moved forward and we got closer to the wedding date we found out that this was not the case. At our 30 day meeting we found out that the venue does not include a bartender, and we would have to hire one off their approved vendors list, an additional $350 (or more depending on the type of bar service you want). This could have been a misunderstanding on our part, but the coordinator told us that we weren’t the first ones to think that so… They also do not provide the officiant, but were able to set us up with one, Jeff Cooper. He was very nice and did a great job with our ceremony. He asked to do a “blessing” over our marriage and we agreed to that, but it ended up being a prayer which caught us by surprise since we asked for a secular ceremony. It wasn’t a big deal for us, and did not detract from our day. The venue payment system needs a little work. You can pay online via PayPal or Venmo, but you don’t receive a confirmation from the venue and you can’t see your remaining balance. The reception felt rushed, like we didn’t have enough time to do everything and talk to everyone even with only 50 guests. We were told it would end at 11 but the music stopped around 10:30. The Rose Tree Rentals had the perfect colored table runners for our color scheme. But their options seemed a little limited to us and they didn’t have any centerpieces that we loved. But we were able to find centerpieces elsewhere that fit us.The nice thing is they don’t force you to use their stuff, you can pick whatever fits you and your partner and bring in what you want. And they set up and tear down all of their decorations which is also nice and less work for you. My biggest complaint is about the DJ, Scott McLaughlin. Before the wedding, he sent us a prelude playlist and a dance playlist and told us we could add or take away songs to fit our music taste. My husband and I spent 2 weekends listening to hours of music to put together these 2 lists based on the two lists Scott sent us. Music is something that is very important to us not only as individuals but as a couple. Scott played the prelude list we sent, no problems. But when it came to the dance list, our choices were completely ignored. He did not play any songs that we added. I specifically asked for no country music but it was played anyway. It felt incredibly disrespectful of our time and effort. We also played the shoe game. I asked my maid of honor to look over the list of shoe game questions from the Scott to make sure there wasn’t anything that would make me or my husband uncomfortable, as well as add some personal questions to make it special to us. Scott totally disregarded the questions she cut and asked all of them. Most of them were fine, but one was “Who has the crazier family?”, which is a sensitive topic for my husband, but Scott asked it anyway even though it was cut from the list. One of the added questions was about pokemon and during the game Scott asked, “Is that the game where you run around outside? Sounds like a good way to get shot.” I was shocked and found that a highly inappropriate thing to say at a wedding. The cake was through Katie Cakes and as mentioned above, the cake tasted amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever had such good buttercream in my life. Unfortunately it did not look great, especially compared to some of the pictures on her website. I wanted stars on the top tier and flowers on the bottom tier, both turned out pretty meh. The gold stars were difficult to see on the white butter cream. She said she was going to use a stencil for the flowers but they looked like they were free handed. Like I said, the cake was delicious which is really the important part, it just didn’t look the way I had hoped/envisioned. Our wedding ended up being fairly small, about 50 guests, and the reception space was the perfect size for that many people. They claim they can accommodate over 100 in their reception space but I think it would get very crowded very quickly.

s our coordinator. She made our wedding day go by smoothly and stress free. Highly recommend!

sive. We got there early and were allowed to look around while we were waiting. Everyone was helpful and kind, especially Jennifer, who helped answer my fiancés questions about cost. I’m very excited to have my wedding here.

was my given coordinator and she made my day the most perfect, and wonderful day I could have dreamt us, Katie cakes gave me the most beautiful cakes and everyone involved made the day smooth and a dream, I would recommend this venue and their team to anyone !

endors and planning team! It has been a great experience and I have full confidence in their work to bring my vision to life! So excited!

anning. Jen is awesome! She gave me the tour of the venue. She was so passionate and knowledgeable and friendly. Her customer service is terrific! Thank you so much for everything. I can’t wait to have the reception of my dreams here.

person. I cannot wait to see our pictures and video. Jessica M is a true gem. She was so attentive and helpful throughout the entire evening. I can't thank her enough. We're so happy that we had our wedding at RBP. These memories will last a lifetime.

live out of state and can text, call, or email them and they always respond so quickly. They have made this planning experience a GREAT one and if you’re looking for somewhere to have your wedding, this place is AMAZING to work with. I had my 30 day planning and Rosebriar was so organized and had all my ideas I had sent them months prior. 10/10 would recommend!!!

we had ALL of the information about everything we could possibly think of! She was able to give us all the information in one sitting. The venue is so beautiful and we absolutely cannot wait to be married here!

ere. The staff has been so kind and made me feel so at ease about this whole process. They make it so easy and take the overwhelmingness away from wedding planning. Every aspect of this venue is breathtaking and I cannot wait to celebrate marrying the man of my dreams here! Special thank you to Kourtney who has been just amazing through this experience and so fun!

it beautiful and so special, same w our wedding day! Our month of coordinator, Jessica, is the sweetest person I’ve ever met & helped with EVERYTHING! We had to move the ceremony indoors last minute and hadn’t planned for it at all but she made sure it was perfect! She also helped me find vendors, organize everything, and hyped me up the whole time(: I love her & Rose Briar! Can’t recommend them enough!

iful chapel as a back up option when it started to rain on our wedding day. Jessica was our coordinator and she was absolutely amazing and so helpful! Scott (DJ at Rose Briar Place) was also awesome and kept the party going at the reception! We had such a great time! We only had to book an outside officiant, photographer, videographer, and bartender-everything else is included with the venue booking. This was so convenient and made planning the big day a breeze!

ur wedding day. My fiancé and I are working with Jennifer and she couldn’t be more helpful! These women care about their brides and I have no doubt in my mind that I will have a fabulous wedding day with their help! :)

ely amazing during our tour and really broke things down for us. It was a no-brainer to book with Rose Briar for our special day as it has everything we wanted. I really loved the options she gave us regarding ceremony space and packages. I am so excited to start planning our wedding in more detail and have my ideal wedding come true.

endors and pre-selected vendor options for food, cake, and DJ made for a quick turnaround during the booking process. They have made our planning process run smoothly. And as we approach our big day, they are assisting with the harder smaller details to iron out. I'm looking forward to our day at Rose Briar place this July! It's going to be everything I imagined.

stions we had. You can tell this venue actually cares about helping you to plan your dream wedding with as little stress as possible. We loved how flexible they are and the variety of packages they offer. We booked here to get married in July and we are so excited!

so helpful and patient with us throughout the whole process. Scott, our DJ, was a huge hit with music but helped keep the night running smoothly as well! Everything from top to bottom (both inside and outside) is beautiful and full of detail. Pictures don't do it enough justice. The food and cake were both amazing and exceeded my expectations! I can't say enough good things, I wouldn't have gotten married anywhere else!

s on the food, DJ and the venue itself! First venue we looked for our wedding and I knew right away this is where I wanted to get married!! Thank you for everything!!

into the evening and she answered me!) I am super excited to be able to have my wedding reception here and I am looking forward to continuing to plan out the details with the Rose Briar staff!

over. The venue is absolutely beautiful. The chapel is just as beautiful as the outside ceremony space. Jen was so kind, answered all of our questions, and took the time to learn more about us and what we wanted. I'm very excited to see how our planning goes and our wedding turns out.

she is very patient and accessible. The location is beautiful and is SO stress-free. Would definitely recommend!

u do an elopement. We did it and it helped us not feel rushed. It was the perfect amount of time. Dani was our coordinator and she was absolutely amazing!

date. So many options included in the packages and well worth the price.

was absolutely wonderful. She was so friendly and answered any questions we had. They truly take what can be an overwhelming process and lay it out for you to be as easily as possible !

atter the time of day. My wedding planning process has been made 10x easier with the package we chose including the food, cake, and dj so I don’t have to worry about finding any of those things. I fell in love with Rose Briar after touring the venue and none of the other venues compared to here. My wedding is next March and I’m so excited to have the wedding here!

pen feedback. I wanted a lil waterfall but I have soooo many other options I had to choose this place. I mean wow.

se briar was breath taking this is one of the most beautiful places we toured they offer a space for a beautiful indoor or outdoor wedding The Staff and Jennifer was very friendly, helpful, they are very professional with the way they conduct business we highly RECOMMEND Jennifer at Rose Briar Place she made us feel welcome she answered all our questions I feel she was open and honest about everything she didn't rush us she was very detailed on everything Thanks Jenn and Rose Briar Place for making this experience stress-free and hosting out big day Rachel Adams and Bryan Stanley

ions. I didn’t have a huge budget, so they helped me adjust the packages to get me what I wanted, but worked around my budget. I was so thankful for them. I had no idea the first things about planning a wedding, but they made it so easy! They’re amazing!!!!

usive packages were great and made planning very easy. Danielle was an excellent coordinator. Food and cake was delicious! Everyone had a great time. I would highly recommend any brides in the OKC area to check out Rose Briar! They are the BEST. I loved my wedding day!

rns. They had helpful wedding planning information and vendor suggestions to make everything easier! So excited to be getting married here in October!

nue and all were amazing. 3 less vendors I had to find and trust. They also sent recommendations for bartenders, hotels, rehearsal locations. They answered all of my questions quickly and were so sweet throughout the whole thing!

Long story short, we signed the deal and we cannot wait to tie the knot at Rose Briar!

nd did not bat a eye with our same sex marriage. We could not be more excited to get married here!

above and beyond for my wedding and made it absolutely perfect me, my family, and my bridesmaids did not have to worry about anything but getting ready and taking pictures. Rose Briar made my wedding a dream come true and I cannot thank Molly (our wedding coordinator from Rose Briar) enough for seeing the vision I had and making it a reality. One thing I wish Rose Briar did different was allowing couples to rent out the whole day instead or include more hours so the bride and the bridesmaids could do hair and makeup their because the bridal suit is so pretty. Other than that Rose Briar was perfect and I cannot thank them enough for making my wedding so beautiful.

it all worth it. The catering they use for the food and cake is very delicious and the cake was not only delicious but both cakes were gorgeous and I couldn’t have been happier. The DJ they use is awesome also. He worked with my husband and me to help create the music playlist we were wanting since we have very different music tastes than what is normally played and it turned out amazing! The staff for the venue was so helpful as well and patient when answering my hundreds of different questions. The venue itself was gorgeous as well! We had an outdoor ceremony and it was stunning. Couldn’t be happier.

to worry about shipping home. They provide catering, cakes, DJ, a day of coordinator (I had Molly and she was fantastic!), and tons of rentals. I only had to worry about my dress, invitations, flowers and a few specialty decor, but otherwise they had it covered. This took so much stress off of planning. The only thing to consider when booking a venue that does everything for you is that there’s not much flexibility- so if you want a DIY and to keep the party going all night, you may want to look for a venue only type place. This does add up really quickly, but it was worth it to not having the stress of planning every detail all on my own!

and patient with us. Danielle was amazing coordinating our wedding and she was absolutely stunning and beautiful. I highly recommend this venue to anyone that is looking for a beautiful venue and very kind and professional people to work with you. Danielle we really appreciate you

before and they didn't skip a beat! All my guest complimented on how romantic the entire setting was with candles, twinkle lights and a long isle to walk down and soak in the moments. Between Danielle, who was my venue coordinator, and my bridesmaids, I literally had zero stress because EVERYTHING was taken care of before I had a chance to ask. It was the most stress free wedding I have ever been a part of and I am glad it was my own! I literally got to enjoy every minute of it so it wasn't over in a blur! I also want to give some recognition to Scott the dj that the venue uses. He kept everything moving seamlessly so there were no awkward pauses, weird silent moments or down time during the reception. My guests had so many wonderful things to say about the entire venue and Scott. You know its genuine when you hear the same things repeated over and over and it is statements and observations they didn't have to say just to be nice! I highly recommend Rose Briar Place to any bride who literally wants to show up with her dress and let professionals do the rest!!! (side note, I am very OCD and want things done a certain way and to my expectations, they were willing to work with everything I asked about, but by far exceeded every expectation!!)
