How do I decide which venue is right for me?

• That’s a great question! Everything about Mountain Crest Venue is grand luxury - the view(!!!), the pond, sunsets, building, capacity, draping, lighting and details of the open event space with a max guest count of 33o. The first word your guests will say indoors or out is, “Wow!” and we are here for it!

• Riverbend Chapel was intentionally designed with a max capacity of 130 for a refined, more intimate elegance that will have your guests noticing the fine detailing of the judges paneling, sconces, veranda, the sheer volume of floor to ceiling windows, decorative built-in shelving and window seats lining an entire wall, vast covered veranda with views overlooking agricultural fields and the view of the Arkansas river for which it was named.

• Want the absolute best of everything we have to offer? Book a Full Estate Rental and you receive 14 hours at both locations!

Is my preferred date available?

• Before you book a virtual or in-person visit, confirm first that your date is available via our calendars and make sure you have a second date ready, just in case!

What is the venue fee and what is included?

• The best and most important aspect of our venues is the high-touch and concierge-level of service that you will receive at our luxury locations.

• Our facility pricing is based on which venue you choose and the day of the week. You can see full pricing available for both facilities here. Amenities for each facility are here.

• While we are known for our luxury brand, we like to think of ourselves as accessible luxury. We guarantee that we can find a day, time of year and package in one of our coveted facilities to suit your needs. We have had 320 people here for a Monday wedding and they danced until the very last song! Please, don’t ever let day of the week keep you from your dream venue. And there are immediate perks to non-Saturday rentals including two-day rentals on any available Tuesdays-Fridays!

What is the max capacity at each venue?

• Mountain Crest Venue has a max capacity of 330 with room for dance floor, buffet tables and room to mingle (That means you won’t be elbows to booties at our max capacity. We reduced it to 330 for this very reason). The Riverbend Chapel max capacity is 130 with dance floor and buffet and room to mingle. We intentionally designed a smaller facility to better fit smaller events. It isn’t about scaling down love, it is about amplifying intimacy! The average response rate for weddings is 80%, so if your invite list is around 160, you should feel comfortable booking Riverbend Chapel, if that is your preferred space.

Do you hold dates while we make a decision?

• No, we do not do soft holds on any potential dates. Events are booked solely on a first come, first served basis.

Do you keep a cancellation list?

• No. Cancellations are rare and unpredictable. If a cancellation is made, the date shows up as available on our calendar.

Can I add on the second location for a Full Estate Rental after I completed my original booking?

• Yes! We will have you sign an addendum to your original contract. Full payment of the price difference is due when addendum is signed in order to complete the rental adjustment.

Do we have to set up and tear down the tables and chairs?

• Nope! When you walk into the door on your wedding day, our staff will have already completed the set up of tables and chairs for you. The only thing you will have to do is place your linens and whatever decorations you’ve chosen. We use an online floor plan creator where we are able to completely customize your desired layout. We will finalize your floorplan at your two week walkthrough.

We need a little extra time in the venue. Can I add on hourly?

• Sure thing! It is $500/hour regardless of the day of the week.

Do we get a rehearsal?

• 1 hour the day before your wedding is included in your rental for a rehearsal, but it is not confirmed on our calendar until your walkthrough completed two weeks prior to your event. It is either 9am-10am the morning before or 4pm-5pm the evening before your wedding day. If our calendar is booked, and those times aren’t available, you can always do your rehearsal offsite or within your regular rental time on the wedding day.

What is the payment schedule?

• 10, 12 and 14 hour rentals payments are 25% and the schedule is as follows: at contract signing, 60 days after contract signing, 120 days out from your event and 60 days out from your event. You will have access to an online portal where you can make payments, so you can go in as often as you like to make payments, as long as the scheduled payments are met in full upon their due date. Elopements and ceremony only rentals have differing payment schedules.

Is there a rain plan?

• We ALWAYS have a rain plan! The details depend on which facility(ies) you have rented.

• You have 3 options:

  • Full Estate Rental gives you Riverbend Chapel already set up specifically for your ceremony and Mountain Crest Venue for your reception, or vice versa. You can plan for an outdoor ceremony, but already have chairs placed in your secondary location for an immediate back up plan. Limited by guest count. 2 hours of transportation is included for shuttling guests between facilities.

  • For individual facility rentals, you will choose your desired indoor ceremony layout at the two week walkthrough and we will give you the deadline, based on our calendar at that time, for us to complete the indoor ceremony setup prior to your arrival. Guests will enjoy cocktail hour on the covered verandas at either location while the room is transitioned. Your catering company and planner will facilitate the room flip. The venue manager onsite at your event will oversee the process and ensure accuracy for your customized floor plan and a smooth experience.

  • You always have the option to have guests sit at their tables. We completely understand Oklahoma weather can be unpredictable. This can be decided up until 3 hours prior to your ceremony time or less, based on your chosen vendors needs to adjust. Normally, a few tables are moved to the side to permit an aisle.

What about parking?

• At each location, we have the appropriate amount of parking for max capacity. Since our parking lots are milled asphalt, we don’t line our lots. It can look confusing! At Mountain Crest Venue, we have 150 spots available. At Riverbend Chapel, we have 60 with a lower lot for vendors to park and any overflow or late comers. Security arrives an hour prior to your wedding and directs parking, so your guests know exactly where to park. Even with ample parking, we encourage carpooling.

Are we required to hire a planner?

• You are required to have someone fulfill the roll of a coordinator on the wedding day. This one main person will attend the two week walkthrough, is the primary contact for your wedding day and cannot be a member of the bridal party.

• The expectation is to have this person fulfill the roll and duties of your wedding coordinator, oversee timeline, manage vendor relationships and act with professionalism in conduct at all times, for the duration of the event, until the final vendor leaves. Your primary contact is to not participate in consuming alcohol while on the premises.

• This role is best fulfilled by hiring a professional wedding planner/month of coordinator/day of coordinator, one of which we STRONGLY recommend you hire. References are readily available.

Can I book a rehearsal dinner rental?

• Yes! Rehearsal dinner rentals are available once you are 6 months out from your wedding day. These rentals are in addition to your wedding day rental. Since you are asking and researching…did you check out our Tuesday - Friday two day rental options? It includes 6 hours to use to decorate, rehearse and even have a rehearsal dinner the day before.

How much should I expect to spend on my wedding day?

• We have seen it all and have had events here with budgets between $10,000 up to six figures. The biggest impact on your budget is your guest count and the size of your bridal party. That number directly influences your food, bar, decor, florals, table count, genuinely everything. Then, it comes down to your tastes.

• Instagram and Pinterest make this part so difficult. We KNOW you want the most beautiful images to share after your wedding day and, my friend, you are at the right place.

• We intentionally designed these buildings and placed them exactly where they are on the estate so that you can have effortless elegance with accessible luxury. But rest easy, no decorations could ever compete with the beauty of our views and the details of the facilities.

• You can easily put down a linen and a simple centerpiece and we guarantee that your guests will be gushing about how absolutely STUNNING your wedding was, simply because you chose Dream Point Ranch. That reason alone is how a bride with any budget can have a phenomenal wedding day here.

• Effortless elegance is our promise and our guarantee.
