Stunning Hidden Gem of a Wedding Venue!

The Venue at Forest Lake is one of my favorite wedding venues! The scenery and outdoor spaces are unlike anything I've seen in the area, plus this gorgeous waterfront view is only 10 minutes from downtown Oklahoma City. Not only is this the perfect venue for 125 guests, but it also makes for a unique Rehearsal Dinner spot, birthday party, or shower! I highly recommend this venue and it's worth touring!

Amazing Venue Just MADE Our Wedding!!

The Monastery at Forest Lake is a beautiful property proximate to Oklahoma City yet with an escapist feel. Sharyn and Matthew are amazing hosts and from our first contact to our last they were available and responsive to each and every request. We booked the entire B&B for our weekend wedding and every person left with raves about their time there. The warm ambience of the chapel provided a spacious yet intimate setting for our guests. Matthew held the most lovely service as officiant, and Sharyn has provided such beautiful decor, comfort, and delicious food for the B&B stay that many just didn't want to leave. Our guests young and old or with special needs were easily accommodated, and the feedback from the wedding has been extremely positive. We could not be more pleased with our experience and wish we could do it all again!!
