The Olie Gathering Place

Nestled in the Paseo Arts District in the heart of Oklahoma City, OK, The Olie Gathering Place is a historic social space ideal for small-sized weddings. Once an electric transformer house that powered northwest Oklahoma City, this century-old venue now boasts flexible spaces for casual events and elegant gatherings. From the beautiful outdoor area to the warm interiors, the possibilities are endless for engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, and quirky micro weddings. With easy access and close proximity to uptown, The Olie is an excellent choice for a romantic city escape. Ideally located for guests to easily find, The Olie Gathering Place forms the epicenter of Oklahoma City's bohemium district. The 1911 building features 1,300 square feet of entertainment space, complete with expansive ceilings and rich exposed brickwork. Displaying a distinctively industrial style, this modern area can be easily transformed to host a sophisticated soiree with elegant drapings and crystal candelabras. A more hip vibe can be found outside with custom-made seating crafted by local artist Chris Lam. At 1,800 square feet, this private space is ideally suited for cocktail receptions beneath glittering string lights and colorful umbrellas. Both sections can accommodate up to 50 friends and family with built-in Bluetooth sound systems to unite the areas in your chosen ambiance. The venue is also 100% pet-friendly, with doggy potty bags available for your favorite four-legged ring bearer. The Olie Gathering Place proudly offers an all-inclusive micro wedding package to make the most out of its great space. The venue also provides all-day rentals and special events packages to suit any pre-wedding gathering. With each rental, you can enjoy on-site planning visits to help choose the perfect vendors to bring the space to life. A team of dedicated staff provides set-up and tear-down service for tables and chairs, followed by a post-wedding clean-up service. To-be-weds are welcome to take advantage of the neighborhood's excellent drinks and beverage establishments or bring in their own outside caterers. There is ample space outside for food and beer trucks, with an ice machine and refrigerator available inside.
