Bartlesville Community Center — Attraction in Bartlesville

Extremely stressful and disappointing experience.

I rented this venue back in February for a very special event on October 4th. Everything was supposed to be set, but just a week before my event, I was suddenly told I had to pay an extra $500 for two additional security personnel — something that was never mentioned in my original agreement. I was also told I needed a special license, which turned out not to be true, but caused unnecessary stress during one of the most important weeks of my life.

After the event, they sent me another bill for nearly $500 more, claiming I owed for “staying over” and “not cleaning properly.” This is completely unfair — I personally stayed after the event to help put up chairs and make sure everything was clean and in order. I even took a video showing how spotless the venue was left, yet they still insisted on charging more.

What should have been a joyful and memorable experience was made incredibly stressful and disappointing because of poor communication, surprise charges, and unprofessional handling. I would not recommend this venue unless you want to deal with hidden fees and...

I’m so thankful for The Center and the incredible staff who helped make our family celebration so special. From the moment we booked the space to the day of our event, everyone was kind, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly.

Our event was a celebration of our children’s adoption — a deeply meaningful day for our family — and The Center provided the perfect setting. The facility was beautiful, the staff was attentive, and their support made the evening unforgettable.

Even months later, their care and understanding stood out as they went above and beyond to help us resolve a small issue with kindness and grace. It’s clear that The Center is more than just a venue; it’s a place where community and compassion come together.

Thank you for making our family’s special day one we’ll always...

My mother and I went to see Hairspray the musical last night. Last year we came to see The Liverpool Legends here, as well. Both times were absolutely wonderful experiences! From the moment you walk in the door you're treated like a welcomed guest by all. I would particularly like to compliment a gentleman by the name of Sean who was an usher last night, and we also met him last year when we were there helping us to our seats. My mother uses wheelchair accessible seating and this wonderful man made sure that every single need we could possibly have was met. And he is just a delight to speak to! He knows so much information about this location and shares his passion for what he's doing with the guests. He is a fantastic ambassador for The Center in Bartlesville. We look forward to coming...
