Wedding at 81 Ranch

81 Ranch is the premier wedding venue in Enid, OK. Located just an hour and a half northwest of OKC, it is an easy travel distance for guests traveling in and gets you outside of the city too. They offer a private exclusive experience for your wedding day.

Featuring getting-ready suites for both the bride and the groom, a stunning indoor reception space and indoor chapel, and a rose garden for outdoor ceremonies or an outdoor cocktail hour, the designers of 81 have thought of every detail.

As head photographer at The Turquoise Lens, I have fallen in love with wedding days here.

About 81 Ranch

81 Ranch offers an exclusive private estate experience for your wedding. Hosting only one event per day and having up to 12 hours of access to the venue. They will leave you desiring nothing on your wedding day. The rustic modern aesthetic of this venue designed intentionally in combination with functionality makes this venue unique. With linens, plates, cups, flatware, and more included in their Grand Package, you can choose from their array of design choices or bring in your own and customize your day how you like.

81 Ranch Bridal Suite

One of my favorite things about 81 Ranch as a photographer is their getting ready spaces. Conveniently located down a hallway of the main reception hall, with an access door out the back too, they are well thought out. The Bridal suite and Grooms suite are right next door to each other and just a short walk to the back porch area, which is a great private spot for first looks.

81 Ranch Ceremony Spaces

81 Ranch offers two different ceremony options. Their chapel is connected to their main reception hall with access doors on either side so your guests don’t have to go through the grand hall to enter your ceremony. The chapel seats up to 300 guests. Directly outside of the chapel you will find the rose garden for their outdoor ceremony option which seats up to 150 guests.

Reception Hall

81 Ranch’s reception hall is grand. With seating both upstairs and down on the main level, their space holds up to 300 guests and won’t feel cramped at all. From their stunning staircase and railings that you can decorate how you like, to their state of the art sound system their reception hall has everything you could desire.
