I can’t imagine a more beautiful, peaceful, and historic venue for a wedding. Possibilities are endless with ceremony locations/backdrops, photography settings, and reception set up. The grounds are beautiful and perfect for an outdoor wedding. The barn is lovely for a reception (even before decorations are brought in) and big enough for a large wedding in the undesired event of rain. We were faced with this possibility but the weather cleared and we were able to continue with our outdoor wedding. Because the barn is made of stone, it is significantly cooler inside and there are enormous fans available to circulate air if needed.
Kelly Frye, Events Director, is wonderful to work with, responds quickly to emails and questions, and made our experience at this venue so pleasant. The on site manager was also very responsive and helpful the day of the wedding.
I encourage early booking, even a year in advance if possible, especially if you have a specific date in mind. We booked 11 months in advance and didn’t get our preferred date but were very happy with day that was available. The rental comes with the entire 10 acres, tables and chairs, and two beautiful choices for the wedding party to use in getting dressed. The parking is plentiful. Choosing which beautiful backdrop to use for the ceremony was the biggest difficulty in our entire experience.
Many of our guests had not been to the venue and were extremely complementary of the venue choice. Guests enjoyed walking the grounds and seeing the historic building and taking their own pictures.
We investigated many venues within 1 1/2 hours of OKC and found the cost to be more than competitive and what is available for the price to be far superior to other options.
We highly recommend Harn Homestead and Kelly...
Read moreEach year my 2nd grade class from Dibble Elementary visits Harn Homestead. Our experience has always been amazing! We have done both the regular tour and the Land Run tour. I can't choose which one is my favorite. I have also visited with my family. Mr. Sapper has always been so amazing at answering all my emails and phone calls quickly and is always very kind. He never seems rushed though I know he has a full schedule. His tours are always full of energy (which is fantastic for my little people). He takes the time to answer their questions and speaks to them in a language they can understand. I so appreciate having him as our liaison. On our most recent visit Mr. Sapper could be seen on his hands and knees helping my little friends set up their first tent and smiling as if there was no place else he'd rather be.When I visited with my family, Mr. Sapper took us on a personal tour of the main house and explained everything about its history in great detail. During our trip to the regular tour Mr. Sharp ( a man who volunteers his own time) did the history of the school house tour. He was so amazing! The kids genuinely loved hearing his tales of the pioneer school age and his enthusiasm while reliving the past with them. He also did the pioneer general store during our most recent visit. I cannot say enough good things about his patience and profound love of history. He answered all their silly questions (as well as their wonderful questions) with a smile on his face. He also taught me a thing or two! I could tell he genuinely loved volunteering his time with them. We will absolutely be visiting Harn Homestead again for many years to come! Thank you to all those at Harn Homestead who make it such a fantastic place to learn and...
Read moreI absolutely love Harn Homestead!
The first time we met Kelly she worked around our schedules to give us a tour of the homestead. She explained everything we needed to know and even gave us recommendations as we began planning our wedding.
We were able to take our engagement pictures on site with no extra cost. Kelly and her team were very flexible on letting us schedule a time do come out and do them. There are so many great places to take photos.
The day before our wedding we threw them a curve ball last minute and added an extra hour and they were so accommodating and understanding.
Then came our wedding day on 9/24/23. Kelly and her team had great communication and they were a huge help the day of. Merica was on sight with us and provided great customer service, helped direct people as well as vendors on where to go, and kept checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and a staff of amazing women to help.
The price was outstanding and the customer service was incredible throughout the entire process. We are so pleased and couldn’t have picked a better place to do our wedding! I highly recommend Harn Homestead and their incredible staff!
