Tulsa Garden Center at Woodward Park — Attraction in Tulsa

We had an indoor ceremony and reception at the Mansion at Woodward Park at the beginning of August, and everything was perfect! Cristen worked with us so much over an entire year, as we booked the venue in August 2017. My husband and I were doing all of the planning from our home in Los Angeles, and she was always on top of replying to my countless emails asking questions and double-checking information! She also worked with us several times for in person meetings when we were visiting Oklahoma to see family or do more planning. Cristen made sure the set up provided by the staff was exactly what we needed and wanted, and even though we had to do a lot of the rentals and decorations set up ourselves (bridal party and family), we had amazing vendors who helped up with set up and tear down so everything came together like clockwork! She made the process so smooth and easy, and I’m so happy we booked the Garden Center not only for how beautiful it is and the amazing pictures we now have, but mostly because Cristen is such a rockstar! And I also want to mention our day-of coordinator assigned by the venue, Meredith, because she was incredible. She was so helpful with anything that I needed, that our families needed, or that our vendors needed. She was always nearby, and she was so friendly to everyone and honestly such a joy to have there. I couldn’t be happier with our wedding experience at the Mansion at...

The Tulsa Garden Center itself is a beautiful place. However, the planner for events such as weddings was horrible to work with. We cancelled our contract due to her mixing up our dates after already paying the 50% deposit, miscommunications, snide tone, and lack of concern with her mistake. She eventually made the date available but our confidence in her was broken. After cancelling we emailed the CEO who was completely impersonal and only thanked me for letting her know we wanted to cancel. The planner and CEO took no ownership for their mistakes. If you want to have clear communication when planning your wedding, look elsewhere.

To the comments by the TGC below - of course there is initial conversation about what date to reserve for an event. However, when a customer pays for a reserved date that is specified on a contract they should get what they paid for no question. That should be set in stone. We were open to a day that week, until one was locked down through payment in the contract. Back and forth on our reserved date after being contracted and after paying is not professional and showed a lack of organization, which is unacceptable when it comes to planning...

My daughter and son-in-law had their wedding here and it was absolutely amazing! I stood as wedding planner and Christan was the most wonderful organizer to work with. On the big day Abby was there to help with all our needs and I believe her helpers name was Janet. The price was just right, the venue simply elegant and beautiful. I highly recommend it. Parking can be a bit of an issue but that is really the only down side I can think of. If you are thinking of using this venue for your event I recommend it...
