Starega Wedding

Had a rehearsal dinner 9/6/24, they provided brisket and chicken, mash potatoes, mac & cheese, rolls and a salad. Ice teas, coffee and other beverages were provided too. It was all fantastic, most of us had seconds and the guys had thirds. We even had food left over. For the price of 30 people, the reception place all to ourselves, with music, it was more than worth the minimal cost. Went from rehearsal to dinner in minutes. I believe this is the best way to go, easy, no travel to restaurant, fantastic food , the whole place to yourselves, no lost guest, can’t ask for anything BETTER!
Wedding 9/7/24
Had the facility all day and night. Had about 100 people there. Things went great and no mishaps…. We were able to do things that made life easier for all. Mya (director) kept things moving according to our plans and I do believe all we ask was provided. I even asked for small last minute additions for wedding party and it was provided no problems. The Chapel and reception hall were Beautifully decorated, I was highly impressed with the rehearsal and wedding. I know this may seam a little out of the way but you will be more than pleased you decided to have your wedding here. I did not hear of one complaint from guest about the location. We had guest from California, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida and others really enjoyed this location in Norman, Ok. Outstanding Venue!!!

As a photographer, this is my favorite location! The beautiful chapel with the gorgeous wood beams and windows that almost makes the outdoors feel like it's indoors is the best. Even at night the chapel will not let you down. The employees are by far the most helpful around. If you are looking for a great wedding venue pay them a visit.
